f lae rlioS ;*t Byrd®
Chapel*
Prompted by a love for education, and
a sense of duty as a news paper man, we
drove down to Byrds Chapel Friday
the 27th ult. to witness the close of
Prof. Miller’s school. b>o about the time
that the sun was lingering on the hill
tops, and the trees were casting long
shadows on the ground eastward, we
drove in to the yard of our friend John
Long. Supper over, and the nag fed,
we sat down on the front porch to watch
the mockingbirds, and just at the time
that light struggles with darkness, and
the evening star comes iaintly out, indi
cating that the misty curtains of night
would come on apace, and that the en
tertainment would soon begin, we strode
over to the church —distance a half mile.
Before we came to the spot we saw the
large bonfires burning on the scaffolds,
which were prepared for the purpose.
When we reached the house we found
that the people had been pouring in from
the adjoining districts, tMI the front yard
was a solid mass of all wait
ing for the white “rags” toseperate that
they might peer into the inner chambers.
The stage was arranged in front ot the
church door, and the actors retired into
the church: The congregation was seat
ed in the yard, and the light come from
large flambeaus blazing at different
points on the outskirts of the congrega
4hm. It was rather a romantic occasion,
with the people seated, as they were un
der the broad canopy of heaven, and the
school insfead of being governed by a
bell was brought to time with a small
Istick in the hands of the “boss” with
which he knocked on the wall.
The exercises opened with a song, and
ihen for three Incurs we were highly en
tertained with tablaux, speaches dia
logues songs music, &e.
The occasion was a grand success,
and there was more < riginality evinced
than we have ever seen at any school ol
ns small pretentions. The children did
admiradlv, and were under perfect discip
line. Prof. Miller has done a good work
at that point, and the people ought to
keep him employed. lie had the chil
dren thoroughly trained, and thereby
they reilected credit on their teacher, their
pa.ents, and themselves.

From Gooseneck Valley.
Dry, dry, has continually been heard
for the past week; we didii’t think
strange of it before the fourth, hut to see
them coming back from Chattanooga
making the same remarks, we hav con
cluded that -must l>e the weather they
are talking about. And now comes as
usual, the disastrous reports.
About alrthst happened in our neigh
borhood, was the killing ofWm. John

’tis sweet music, for it indicates the

We are growing fat on the new,
wheat flour, that comes from Wildwood.
Mr. Cravens has gone to Meridian

come out of Wildwood. He is shipping fo
great deal of meal and flour to different
places. Mr, Sam. Hale is shipping
bark from the same place. Messrs, T.
J. & J S, Lea have shipped 30
cai loads of baik from Hookas and
Summit switches this season; hence you
see the balance of trade is in our favor.

Golden Words to Young
iTfcii.
Never complain that your employers
are selfish. Not that they are otherwise,
but it will not help matters to growl
about it. They are selfish. Their em
ployers, when they were young, were no
doubt selfish, and from them they learned
the lesson. You too, will learn it, and
when you become employers you’ll be
selfish too. It is from selfish motives
that men engage in trade, and selfishness
rules their actions. Of course it would
be better and wiser, and a*ll that, if they
were not selfish, hut they are.
Now what are you going to do about it.
Why, make it for their selfish interest
to do better by you, and they will.
Respect yourselves, and you’ll make
them respect you. Remember that you
are at a Au^tlthat there me
your place
ifyoftuT hot nil it, aimlhat those who
employ you are fully aware of the fact
and ready to make the most they can out
’of it. Remember that if you are getting
SI,OOO this year and want $1,500 nAt
year, you. have got to earn tho $1,500
this year, you’ve got to pay for
tion, often ail exorbitant pricejjpnd as
you have no other means to pay with,
you’ve got to -pay in work. Oi coimne
its unjust, of course it seems hard
your einplover should keep and spend
money that you have justly earned, but
it won’t pay to tret about it. Never be
satisfied with having “earned your
money.” Earn move than your money,
and then, in a manly straightforward,
business-like way. ask for more pay.
Ten chances to one you’ll get it. If
you don’t, look about, and as soon as
you’ve found a better place, discharge
your employer. The lur and work tl/ftt you
have done, the record oi it, and the rep
utation vou will have established for
J
hard work, will make the task of find
ing new employment comparatively easy.
Your capacity forjproi k is your only
capital. Invest heavily and you are
sure to win.
A Sad Accident
On the 4th of July as the A. Ot. S.
train was moving out of the switch on
to the Nashville road, a young man by
the name of Keith attempted to climb
on top of the car, hut loosing his foot
hold, fell with cue leg under the cars,
and one pair of the trucks passed over
it, crushing it above and below, the
knee, lie was taken up, placed on a
seat in the Cabo -sc, and brought to this
place. He was carried to hotel Fri
dav evening, his Saturday
morning, and died *j*Uirdav evening.

Here is a capital lesson that may
well be impressed upon the memory of
both old and young: Mr. Spurgeon, in
walking a little way out of London to
jireach v chanced to get his pantaloons
quite muddy. A good deacon met him
at the door and desired to get a brush
and take off some of the mud. “Oh, no’ ’
said Mr. S., “don’t you see it is wet,
and if you try to brush it now, you will
rub the stain into the cloth? Let it dry,
when it will come off easy enough and
leave no mark.” So, when men speak
e v il of us falsely-tlirow mud at us —don’t
be in a hurry about brushing it off. r loo
great eagerness to mb it oit is apt to rub
it in. Let it dry; by and by, if need be,
-a nOVn-f will remove it Don’t
fosier scandal about your 1 es or others,
or trouble in a society, or in a church,
by baste to do something. Let it alone
let it dry; it will be easier eradicated
than you think in the first heat of excite
ment. Time lias a wonderful power in
such matters. Very many things in
this world will he easily got over by
judiciously “letting them dry.”

All Incident.
A little girl was on the train, recently,
when a fearful collision took place, de
molishing both engines, and mining sev
eral cars. Wonderful to relate, no lives
wore lost, and no person seriously injured.
People were expressing their wonder,
not even a bone was broken, when this
child said: “Mama; you prayed this
morning* before we started, that God
would take care of us, and' I knew lie
would. He has, hasn’t He, mama?”
Tears came to the eyes of several who
listened, and one said: “Give me the
faith of a child, for of such is the King
dom of Heaven.”
Now that our correspondent Bro. “L.
D. Ha —Do” has the magnanimity to
come forward before lie was asked to do
so, and asked pardon of Bro. Harr, and
also apologized for everything and to
everybody, if Qneriest and Trentonian
don’t letup on him we’ll ask Gov. Mich
Pope, or some other large men in Dade
to sit down on them—Walker County
Messenger.
We would suggest that Bro. Marsh of
our burg be selected as the individual
to place his huge avoirdupois on the vile
wretch who would dare to say aught of
our eorrespendent, “L. D. 11a —Do.”
For he is a geiu#ous boy, and has
more soul than body.
