They talk of planting the Sea Island cotton mostly, as the short staple is not so much in demand. Judge Wiley XX’hitley, one of Ir¬ win’s best intensive farmers, killed last, week two fine porkers which weighed 470 and 320 pounds, We presume the Judge will have greasy turnips when the spring opens. Mr. John Bishop and Miss Mamie Garrison were married last Sunday morning at 4 o’clock. They left for Abbeville immediately after tlu ceremony was performed where they will take the train for Ala.

G. S. Nelson, Receiver, Advantages of Good Roads. A country without roads wm re¬ main undeveloped, its hidden treas¬ ures stored away. Where poor roads prevail every¬ thing else is apt to be poor, the horse, farmer and merchant. If two horses haul ths load of four, one tyagnh haul the load of two, oue set of harness haul the load of two, one drtver serve to, two and six miles instead of tim e be made per hour, the aggregate saving would double the net income of the average farmer — The desideratum can only be ac¬ complished by the means of good public roads. The effect of good public roads upon land value is to increase the value of such lands. Experience has shown that the value of ground is in direct ratio to the good condition of the streets or roads which traverse them. A road system is the means of fa¬ cilitating intercourse. Inter communication is the backbone of business. Good pub¬ lic roads are the primary necess¬ ities of civilized life and national prosperity. Notice ! TO TEACHERS. The first session of the Monthly Institute vvill be held at Irwin vills on the 4th Saturday in March, ’93. All the teachers are requested to attend on the above date. J. Y. Fletcher, C.S.C.I.G.

It is considered a mark of good luck by. superstitious people, and very many persons even among the enlightened people of our own country, cannot entirely divest themselves of the idea that there “is something in it.” This regard for the horseshoe is a relic cf superstition handed to us from very remote times, and it is apparently Celtic origin. The reason why it is a sign of good luck to find the article is be¬ cause the horseshoe operates as a charm to keep off evil spirits. Hence it is nailed up over the door to prevent the entrance of those obnoxious witches. The magi tell ub the Evil One has a tendency to move in circles, and consequently when once inclo¬ sed in a horseshoe cannot easily get out at the heel. Upon this principle we would auggest that instead of a horseshoe a Ualf peck measure be put over the door for the purpose of preven¬ tion ; for that presents a complete instead of a broken circle. Moreover, there are such small devils about in these latter days that one of them could trot all clay in a half-peck measure without once suspecting that he was im¬ prisoned, About Murriagp. No test of character is more try¬ ing than the test matrimonial, if the contrasting parties are not per¬ fectly harmonious. Marriage can become obnoxious from excess of attention, if not in¬ dulged in the right spirit, and equally from neglect and indiffer- u nee. A wife may make such demands upon her husband’s attention and time as to make him feel himself little better than a slave, and sla¬ very is galling to the most sub¬ missive. Such a wife puts shackles on his feet, a palsy to his Lands, a burden to his shoulders.. Each should have perfect confi¬ dence in the other. Should one remain away from the other any length of time unac¬ counted for by him, let silence bs your monitor until a voluntary re¬ turn reveals the secret of the ab¬ sence. Both men and women, united in the marriage relation, are necessa¬ rily tried and perplexed at seasons, when silence should close their lips until moderation takes possession of them. Jealousness of even trifling nat¬ ure should uef. r C Vi i*i - single moment. To prevent all such misunder¬ standings, persons entertaining the sacred ordeal of married life should acquaint themselves with the dis¬ position, tastes, and unavoida¬ ble rebuirements of their part¬ ners, and then resolve to govern th< mselves *s much as possible ■ he re by. -* a> Blasts From Ram’s Mont. Aw lies are great travelers. The riches that run to us soon dr <\ v* ay. The greatest of all duties is the present one. A bad man hates the thing3 that can do him good. When we try to please everybody we shall please nobody. No would can hurt so badly as the one inflicted by a friend. A lie turns pale whenever it finds out that truth is on its track. It is easier to backslide at camp meeting tnan it is in a shipwreck. There are too many people who are only pious when things go right. The world is full of heroes whose names will never be known in this life, Some people would sell their 80 ula very cheaply for the promise of spot cash. No man has ever yet been able to climb into heaven on a ladder of his own make. If you stop to debate any ques¬ tionable matter with the devil be will outwit you. The kind of religion that warms and cheers is the kind that is full of snnshine. If stinginess is a disease there are a good many people in the church who are not healthy. It is more than likely that in go¬ ing to the marriage the five foolish virgins were at the head of the pro¬ cession.
