FROM VALLEY STORE-
I am requested to write this
week as are liable
to be somewhat encumbered with
more than they can attend to at
times, and as I have been unexpec
tedly called on I may fail to get up
anything of interest.
I sai l once in a communication
that we as a people were not idle,
and in proof’of this will say that
last Thursday night some of our
neighbors threshed wheat and oats
by moonlight until nine or ten
o’clock at night. Steam does not
tire nor hunger but can be made to
serve night or day.
Health of the community is pret
ty good with a few exceptions. The
youngest son of Mr. Robert Pursley
is thought to be taking fever.
The peddlers are hauling off the
little chickens with a rush. I don’t
know what the preachers will do if
a stop is not put to such proceed
ings.
Corn looks promising but cotton
is small although growing nicely
now. lam in hopes there will be
a better crop than was once thought.
As cotton is late there will perhaps
be a considerable quantity stained
by frost and if so it would be a
good time to make the experiment
of working the poorer grades into
bagging for covering the balance of
the crop.
We have had a moderate rain
and the prospect is good for more.
We have Sabbath schools at Mac
edonia, New Hope and Beersheba
and the hours of meeting are so ar
ranged as not to conflict with each
other, yet there are a large number
of children who do not attend.
We have our text> books laid
down for our literary schools but
the Bible is left out. I do not
know why a lesson should not be
read daily from such a book as by
this means many a juvenile mind
can be benefltted and lasting impres
sions made. This is an age of
progress; we wa-.t to enlighten the
heathen nation j , but we should re
member th i' e' ’ gins nearer
to us and I for one am in favor of
proper efforts being made to train
up the youth of the land in the way
they should g > and to this end
nothing could be more beneficial
than the daily I ily of a chapter
of the Bible in our common schools.
If the young are trained aright
then it relieves those who are re
sponsible th ■ . >r; we send them
to school to prepare them for du
ties of this life which 1 t hink should
also include some sort of prepara
tion for the life to come.
HILLERY.
FROM DRY VALLEY
o
Mrs. Thos. Hammons tells us
that she is milking one cow and
lias sold 70 lbs of butter within the
last six months and have had all
the butter they wished to use. She
says they—Mr. Hammons and her
self for they are the constituents of
the family, arc fond of batter too.
Rev. S. W. McWhorter tilled his
regular appointment here last Sun
day.
Mr. E. (). Gilreath commenced
his school the first Monday in July,
with flattering prospects. He is a
constant- teacher and we are glad
to retain him in our S. S.
A certain young man of this
valley, while working over a sorry
looking field of corn, said, if it
made good corn he would marry
this year, not thinking it takes
two to make a match but made a
rash vow and now his corn is look
! ing fine. 1 guess be will surprise
some girl or some
him, for lam sine he will be on
the lookout for ahelp-me-eat (help
meet,) soon.
En-AVlx.
FROM REUBEN, G-A.
Allow me a little space in your
paper and I will givej’ou a few dots
from our corner.
The farmers are busy laying by
their crops. Corn is looking tine
and cotton is pretty good though
a little late.
Miss Kate Patrick who has been
very siek for a few weeks past is
improving.
Mr. Morrison, with a few hands,
have begun raising ore near R. T.
Herndon’s, and claim that it is the
finest in the United States.
Miss Julia Witherspoon opened
her school at West Franklin on Ju
ly 1. The attendance is not large
at present, but we hear of a number
of children who will start soon.
Our Sabbath school is in a flour
ishing condition. I will say to
those who oppose our Sabbath
school that we have come to stay.
Over eighteen hundred years ago
the devil tried to down the Savior
and ever since when anything good
is gotten up for the glory of God
and the good of man, he has had
his agents ready to demolish it. |
Christ said of just such characters,
“you will strain at a gnat and swal
low a camel.” We will all have
enough to do to keep our lamps
trimmed and burning without
throwing obstacles in the way of
any movement that is intended for
bettering our moral condition.
Observer.
FROM HALL S MILL.
o
The sunshine of the past week,
has caused great destruction to the
grass and weeds. The farmers can !
say veni, vidi, vici, (I came, I saw,
I conquered,) for General Green’s
forces lie withering in the field.
The mills are ready for the new
wheat crop, both Hall’s and Myer's
mills have been dressed and put it»
good running order. Both mills
have good millers.
Win. Morton’s family of Annis
ton, Ala., came up to his father’s
J. L. Morton’s last Sunday. They
will spend the summer in our health
giving clime.
Rev. Mr. Moody, of Buchanan,
preached at the Grove last Sunday
at eleven o’clock, also Sunday
night.
The glorious fourth passed off
quietly in our community. Some
worked, some r.sted, and a gay lit
tlecrowd of young ladies and gen
tlemen spent the day in berry hunt
ing away over the hills of Tay
lor’s ridge. They returned laden,
with berries and Howers. All seem
ed to enjoy themselves. The day
will be long remembered by mem
berg of the party. Eleve.
CHATTOOGAVILLE CHAT.
i ."O—— -ii
Rain, rain, and a great deal of
wind Sunday, blowing down con- j
siderably corn. The farmers are!
about done work.
Cotton looks well, but sortie is
tolerable grassy.
The health of our community is
tolerably good.
Mrs. W. J. Doster is recovering!
slowly, but Mrs. Jane Mathis is yet
very low.
| W. J. Doster opens his school j
. j this morning with forty pupils and
1 think will have a large attendance
, which no doubt his qualifications
deserve.
Miss Dockie Rush, one of Ster
ling, Alabama’s most accomplished
■ young ladies, is now in our burg [
and will assist Prof. Doster during
. the present term.
I Prof. Taylor, the photographer,
i is still with us, but will remain on-
I ly a few days. He is a good ar
tist.
Before elosing 1 want to say a
I ; few words about G. A. Ragland,
' one of our most successful farmers.
s ! He has very strong land, so his
. i tenants say, some corn growing on
Jit the silks of which cannot be
. j reached by a man when standing up
'straight. Who can beat that for
. corn? Minor.

FROM HI PINT.
o
This district has concluded to
furnish musicians for the county
so a very intelligent youth inform
ed me yesterday. This young man
seems to think that the human
family are indebted to music both
instrumental and vocal for all the
good that has been accomplished
from creation’s morn down to the
present day. He may be right but
I would rather hear the grating of a
thousand files drawn across the
clappers of as many bells than to
hear some music that I have heard,
jor I would say music so called,
iWe like to hear good singing, and
would walk some distance to hear
and enjoy it, but oh ; my these note
singers of the present day are like
their voices, hard to keep up with.
: jumping from one key to the other
touching here and skipping there
until no mortal on earth could de-
Tec t a particle of a tune. But I
I must not be too hard on this class
of singers for I suppose that all
1 good singers once were very ignor
ant of the art of music, and com
menced probably like those I speak
lof and travelled up gradually until
i perfection was reached. Go it then
|in a hurry and tax the patience of
| the people as little as possible.
; There is no telling the luck of a
; lousy calf. He may get fat in the
[summer if he can make it through
: the winter, but I tell you that this
word winter throws a gloom over a
thousand prospects. Bit let me
tell you there are other things con
nected with these singing societies
that promises them to assemble
themselves together. They care
very little for the noise the leader
makes, but they treat him with re
spect from the simple fact that he
furnishes them an excuse to assem
ble together and have a good time
with the girls. It seems that the
girls and boys will get, together,
therefore we say, go it while you’re
young for time's old iron wheel nev-
er stops, and soon you will look
upon the dark side of everything
and consequently cover our faces
with wrinkles before we reach the
middle of life an 1 go grunting and
grumbling around like we thought
the Creator had discarded us. No
wonder, if you had made an instru
ment with all the skill that you
possessed and found out after it
was accomplished that it was a sig
nal failure would you still try to
get music out of it? No, sir, you
would throw it away, discard it-
Well then can a man expect his
Creator to always cover his face in
smiles when tl.e inner man is not
sufficiently conscious to appreciate
a single blessing, I would think
not. Go on then, you long faced
hypocrite. You profess one thing
and preach another, holding the
Creator responsible for all your
failures. A man is his own archi
tect and if he builds his hopes and
aspirations upon theCreatoi’s good
ness and mercy in his behalf, and
he lie idle, ignorant and indolent, he
may expect to be found looking to
another source for his supplies if
he gets any. God never intended
from the beginning to help a man
that would not help himself. Night
and day, sunshine and shower, seed
time and harvest are all promised,
but what good will harvest do a
man that never sows, lie will have
nothing to reap, and in fact nccds»
no sunshine or shower. Then ad
mit ing these last faits we will leave I
him to his own reflections. .
