According to premise, I write
you again . We neve httf some
rein, eleo eome hot weether since
my lent report.
Harvest is in right snd soon the
scythe end cradle will be brought
to beer upon the vast fields of
wheat in thie section. There is
some coinf>!» irtt about cotton not
looking well, but euppose the
warm weather will toon chsnge it
to e more healthy appearance.
The ponies brought out by Mr.
J C Hall from the nation attrao'ed
crowds of spectators laet week end
a portion of thie, but Uncle Jo.
who bee an eye to trade, ha* about
sold our, consequently we look for
dull timer for a few days, till black
berriee get ripe anyhow. Should
they miss, we are gone up for some
time. However,the prospect it good
and we anticipate a full crop, and
the thing which the ladies wrap
them up in before consigning to
the oven will I>* plenty. Therefore
our chances for pie is very flutter
ing. During the recess musio in
ao abundance will be furnished,
but who paya the fiddler ir a
question beyond my knowledge-
We hear to talk now of picnics.
There appears t.i he a culm, and
probably will be until a few pair
of worn out shoes cun he remod
dled;snd the two days meeting
pronounces the doXology snd dis
misses the congregation. Well, (be
fact is it is impossible for the
youngsters snd older ones to attend
Sunday-*school one Sunday and go
to picnic dances three days each
week—clothes have to be washed—
now onea made and a bust oi otter
things too numerous to mint ion
which consumes time snd make tbv
flour ban el'lank and the sugar
cask groan. Too, the jug has to be
repli nisbed and time* are rat-er
tight, but we will wake up and
push matters early in the fall pro
vided we run raise tho m-oesaaty
pewters to go ahead, and fear no
evil.
Uncle John says his fish trap
is a failure this season and lie in
tends to quit bia worldly ways and
join the picnickers and become a pi
ous man.
It is fainted around (lint there
will be a wedding one of these days
not far away, as tbs Louse has been
rented—the skillet and pans spo
ken for, and the olhernecestary ar
rangements made for honse keeping
There is no te'ling what muy hap
pen in the next forty days, but
the indications are thnt a wedding
or two, may take place in that
time.
I understnnd thcro is some com
plaint alx-Ut wheat falling down
and having to be cut before it ma
tures. The rust and fly being the
cause, however, I think there will
be a full half crop not withstand*
ing tbe ravages which heyc be
fallen it.
The weather is warm and dry.
A good rain would help the grow
ing oro|« conaidciably.
Two picnics are now b dded and
will lie in lull bloom next Friday
and Saturday. “All that are heavy
laden, come," and partako of the
good thinge of litis world. “Eat,
drink and be merry lest ye may
die to-morrow." The time hae
come when we should enjoy our
aelvesthree hundred and sixty-five
days in the your. By so o ur
lives will be prolonged wonderfully
and our happiness a sure thing.

AH is quiet with us, no'hing
strange or uncommon. All seem
to be enjoying the privileges snd
blessings of life to tbe fullest ex
tant.
The Csssandra Sabbath-School
are to have a picnic at the Church
to-duy. We wish them t pleasant
time.
Farmers are very well up with,
work their. Cr<pi arc generally good.
Wheat end oats are filling well. I
think there will bo n good average
crop of small grain, if no disaster
befal's it in the future. We are
having pleasant weather fur (arm

! Editor Mtttmgtr :
j It is nothing new for people to
move from one State to another
and get dissatisfied and move back
'to where they started frtmi. It is
itsid (hat our father Adam and
1 mother Eve, were dissatisfied with
their garden of rich fruits and
flowers, and they slid back. It is
thought that old mother Kvs was
in fault. Hence it is not strange
that Wind Hater after moving so
far and se- rolling ao diligently for
the honey pond and fritter tree,
and not finding them, In all the
promise lard of Texas, became dis
satisfied and slid back to the old
home. But there ia trouble ahead
for the back-slidera; for it aeems
that the gnats and insects and a
few chills meet them and punish
them all along the back-slidcra
r i<«d. Back-slidera will have trou
ble. There is an inaeot here that
Wind Hater does not apeak of that
must have chased them around
snd gave Wind lister a wonderful
scare. There are tirnea here that
it makes certain! animals get upend
sift. It is called the heel fly. It
seems (bat they are worse among
poor cattle.
As to myself I hsvs not found
the boney pond or the fritter tree.
1 have seen many ponds, but they
did not resemble honey, hut I did
find a a small barrel of one year
old heney a few days ego, for which
I paid ten cents per pound, and it
helps that yellow corn breud to go
down. And right here I would re
mind J. M. Clarkson, thnt when he
comes out in July, to bring some of
that go»d old mountain dew along
and we will mix it.
Well, we have been blessed with
plenty of rain, and I any that I
never in life etw a better prospect
for grain of all kinds. Wheat and
onta are made. Cotton looks well.
Vegetables of »W kinds are on the
market in abundance.

No picnic at Tunnel Hill on last

An effort was made last Sunday to
revive the interes' in the Sabbath
school at Trickura. An almost
deadly stupor had taken hold up

Nobody dead nor married in this

marriage notice or two, at an early
day.
The mad dog sensation is

made of the dams ge done by the
' rabid dog ihst passed through this
valley On tba 2lat and 22nd days
of April last. He sayi (be lues is
variously estimated from two to
1 three hundrrd dollars. Now Mr.
N P R if you will travel with me
from Temperance Hall in Wood
Stalbn District to John Edge's
and Mr. Green's in Chestnut Flat
District which only covers about
ona half of the distance of the dog’s
raid if I sin correctly informed we
will find twenty-one bead of cattle
bitteo and most all of them
dead. The moat of them were
milch cows. Soma of them were
worth forty of fifty dollars. Also
sixteen head of hog*, all dead and
nineteen dogs killed and four or
five of that number thought to be
mad when kMed. If yon bad to
pay every man what he thinks he
is damaged you would have to
shake out the last dollar out of a
five hundred doffiaf purse before
you wou d get through the bounds
above mentioned. In estimating
tbe damage in this matter (here
are several things to be considered
besides the cash value of the shook
lost but I will not take them up
now for fear I weary the patience
of your readers. The dog that
did the damage was a sootty black
one with some white about his
breast.

1 see you have one or two cor
respondents from near this p'ace,
but as they have not written lately, |
| I thought I would give you a few
! dots.
Wc areueeding rain on thecorn,
but tbe wheat is looking belter
than it #ould if it had rained
more.
Bonne are ready for bar resting;
while others will not be ready for
two weeks or more. The fruit is
much better than Was expected.
Frqii< what we can bear, fishing
parties are quite fashionable.
I; was thought there would be a
picnic at Blue Spring gomet’me in
June, but the farmers have ruled
the dsy, and it has been postponed
until the first Saturday in August.
It seemaa long time off, but it will
“roll around’’ before we are aware of
it. I think it will be better for all,
as the busy season will be oyer tor
a time, and we will have nothing
to prevent us from having a g-a-lo
rious old tiins.
Why don’t Wind Hater write
more frequently? What is his
name anyhow? No more starva
tton for us; we have plsnty of “ba
con and beans,'’ and beit>r than all
things counted good, we have plen
ty of “dewberry pie.”

Trsntok Ua., May, 28th 1883.
We have had a good rain and the
ground ia in fine condition spring
oats will doubtless be greatly im
proved. I bare not seen but little
of tbe wheat crop of this county,
but think the crop will be tolerably
good.
There was an examination
at tbe Academy last week. Also
a picnic at the iame place on Sat
day. I have no doubt that Trenton
has the best schools that it has bad
for manyyears.
The frost bit some of our sweit
potatoes but nothing else that I
know »>,
Cattle are becoming scarce bu<
high in this county, audit the snip
ping to Texas continue will prob •
bly become still scarcer and st 1
higher. Tbe scrub stock are nearly
all gone now, and I think tbe cattl
within my knowledge are very much
better than tbe cattle owned by tbe
same persons five years ago. I think
there are plenty of hogs here if
they do * ell, and they too, are ot
better breeds than formerly.
