The town council is having done a much needed thing in having the j I ditch running from Lamar Knox’s livery stable to Mr. Moyers' tannery widened and deepened, q hat per lion of the town the ditch traverses . needs draining badly and the work ■ being done, if continued as it should : be, will do this. J. M. Clarkson’s drove of cattla, i forty-seven in number, the hand somest lot of beeves ever seen in Walker, passed through LaFayette Tuesday on their way to the sham bles.

Miss Maud Calhoun has quite a flourish!.:g school near Foster’s Store. She has 33 scholars, which is a most creditable showing this early in the season. Miss Maud is in every way qualified to give sat isfaction to her patrons, and the people of that section cannot do better than give her their undivided support. Some time ago a local appeared in these columns to the effect that Judge Bellah was becoming a poul try and fine stock fancier. The Judge has received several letters from stockmen and others as the | result of the local, one being from Ossian Huggins, now of ilobile, c-e> Ala., who formerly taught school at this place. * I).

Price of each book fifty cents: mailed to any address on receipt of sixty cents. A prominent citizen of Summer ville, upon being asked when he was going to send his daughter to college, replied: “When she gets an education at the High School here I'm going to send her.” There ! is a great deal of meaning in tie j answer, for it is a fact that it is at' ! intermediate schools that the young: I acquire an education, j Last Friday Willie Taliaferro, aged about five years, the adopted child of Mr. and Mrs. J.

Ham- J ilton, of Rome, to Miss Maggie ! Allgood, Rev. Dr. R. B. Headden. of Rome, officiating. Mr. Hamilton is one of Rome’s leading business men, and the bride is one of Chat tooga’s fairest daughters. The' future promises for them happiness and prosperity and may its promi- : ses be verified. If the town council will brace it-1 self up, stiffen its backbone, get all the money it can and use it judi ciously, with the number of hands : in addition thereto subject to s'reeti i duty, the town can be improved du- j ring the year so as to be the most; I beautiful one in the State. Strang-; I ers, and there will be hundreds <>!'!

Espy, who visited La-i ■ Fayette last Thursday, says the ■ j trains are expected in that place in ! I about ten days from the date of' ' this issue. The grade is completed to tha i work has been done betleen there ami Summerville. EveAulication : is that trains will be this place the first of July if not earlier. Mr. Coker, in his communication; last week, which was received too ; i late for : üblication, says : I would willingly discuss the question of I “Farmers’ Clubs” with “Bill Lief, ! but do not like to tackle a “masked I batterv.” I wish all the corres- ‘ ! pondent < of the News would write ■ over their own proper names. The ; ; most part of the correspondents of the News write very interesting • letters. Then why hide their light I under a bushel? Come out, gen-1 ! tlemcn, and let us know who you 'are; and let us. try to help each other along in the struggle for the necessaries of life. If theie arc any who are worry i ing themselves about the way this ! paper is conducted they should re member that perhaps one reason yvhv we don’t do better is because !we are worrying ourselves about i the wav they conduct their busi ness. I: they will let us run their ! business we will entertain their ! ouini ms in regard to what we pub ! lish, but until they do this we will I continue as in the past to run the ! p iper a ; i do as near as we can 1 what wo conceive “to be right. We have no hope, however, of pleasing • everybody in this world. It is only .' the dead who do that. More good mules and horses can be seen on our streets now' than for some years past, we think. This is one of the very best indications that : the farmers are in a good condition to raise good crops, and that they are prospering. Good stock is a sure indication of a prosperous farmer. t Last. Monday Captain Jos. Glenn made application before Ordinary Mattox for the pension allowed by the State to disabled ex- Confeder ates. He was wounded at Baker’s creeK, twenty-five miles from Vicks burg. May the 16th, 1863. lie pre- , [ sented as part proof of the justness ; of his claim the bullet which struck him and a piece of the shoulder bone ’ which was extracted from the wound, j These he has preserved ever since. At the Congregational Meeting last Sunday Rev. Mr. Milner, with out a dissenting voice, was called to lill the pulpits of Summerville and Alpine Presbyterian churches and ' the branch of the Summerville church at Trion. Mr. Milner is a conscientious, zealous and fearless i worker for the cause of religion as revealed by the Bible, and his charge, knowing this, were anxious to secure a continuation of bis ser-1 vices. It wouldn’t be a bad thing to re-I build the Summerville High School ■ building. The town cannot have I i a school without a building, and I I there is none that is suitable. The | ! trustees might purchase a building but it would have to be repaired i ; and altered to be suitable, and all; 1 this would make it cost more than i : a new building would, and yet not, be adapted to the end in view. Let | the movement for a new building materialize. At the County court, which con vened Monday, Judge Bellah pre siding, four cases were disposed of, |as follows: The State vs. Caswell Camp, carrying concealed weapons, verdict, not guilty. The State vs. I James Maxey, playing and betting. I verdict, not guilty. The State vs. ' Mack Rounsaville, playing and bet-1 ting, verdict, not guilty. The State vs. Thomas Maxey, firing after nightfall within fifty yards of a i public road, charge not sustained. Uniform kindness and politeness will win every time. We have thought of it often and wondered why it was, but until we made it our business to see for ouis< we were m the dark. M e nave . reference to J. M . Pitts, the leader of low prices, short profits and I quick sales. Mr. Pitts treats every one politely, sells them his goods at close figures, has a kind word and a smile for ail, and when you patronize him once you will do so again. lie buys and receives fresh goods every week and you will find something new everytime you go. Rev. Mr. Milner, in his sermcn 1 last Sunday, said one man whom he | knew had signified a willingness to | ' give $250 toward building a new i Presbyterian church at this place, and another would give for the I j same purpose SSO for each member | ,of his family, which numbers five.' With such a start as this it would i I not be very hard to secure enough ' :to build a new church, and it will : have to be done at no distant day, I ' as the old one is showing signs of I decay.

The bride, fittingly arrayed in white I mill!, typical of gentle spring with I its flowers, its gurgling streams and * green fields, seemed to have regain led her vouth, and the groom, by his I proud and tranquil bearing, seemed I both to realize the prize a kind fate had given him and to be worthy of it.

News is some what scarce in this neighborhood owing to people be ing so busy trying to make good use of every fair day flint comes. Last week was a good week for the farmers and they made good use of it. It is raining now and has stop-1 ed all business out of doors; but we can console ourselves by clean ing out our stables and shucking and shelling corn, that is if we have it, and those that have not got it, j can go to town and mortgage their , cotton crop for corn and meat. So we all will live on any way; but will we over get back to the good old days that we used to have be fore mortgages came in fashion? I see Mr. Wilson Wheeler talks a good deal in the News of the days when we all had plenty of corn and wheat and then turns it off and says that we must plant more cot ton. As it is about the only chance for the farmer to get out as he has to be run, and wants to pay some jof the back debts. If he could pay • his old debts by planting more cot- I ton, it would do, but my experience I i has been that when we once fall be- I hind then it is hard for us to* ever i I pay up the old score and the new | | too, and live. If we would make | our own supplies and plant the rest i in cotton, and use all the industry ’ and economy we could, we would I some day be free men—out of debt. Wheat is looking fine where it i was sown early. The poaches are I killed, and the early sowing of oats. Some people have planted corn. I [ have not heard of any cotton being I planted yet.
