(juuunuuica Editors Journal: —We have just enjoyed a Mno sit ppr.g school at Grove Creek church in this county, tar,giit by Prof. H . F. Cash. The professor is a fine teacher. He w/itca more diagrams, and gives 'he plainest instruction. Tuesday afternoon quite a crowd gathered to the court house if* wit ness the hymeneal of Mr. Davis and Miss Nichalson of Jackson county, ’Squire Ash officiated and die boys say the ’squire smiled his Lest. The parties, it seems, had eloped and left the old folk napping. Some of the boys are trying to run Judge Hill on issuing the li cense. Now, there is no use frying to baffle the judge's feelings in a case of this kind. If Mr. Davis ev er becomes a citizen of Hanks, he will know, though he had a risk in bringing his best girl across the hills, there is a Hill among them that lie must vote for. And, while being frightened at the bark or othernlead twigs that may have de scended on his head while coming through the ash fores:, yet there is an Ash among them that he is un der life long obligations.

The parents of Links county do not pay taxes to force their sons and daughters to drink water with the negro, and the Journal believes the matter of ihe public well in the public park has been an over sight on the part of the citizens and otlicers of Ihe county in not eon demning it ere it ever found place iu these columns.
