Yon asked news trom all the impor
tant points of our county, and ii 1 am
the i nlv one to answer from our part
of the “moral vinyard”—will have t(
use the lan ,u '_,e ot wise old Solomon
there is nothing new hear under the
sun that I can hear of. News is a
scarce commodity in orr vicinity, wo
have none cf those news inventors
common to commit lit es ami *»eall
towns—vulgarly called ta tie s—l vvi.l
call them nomadic fictio.iist, they are
of g.eit utility sometimes, when a
small vdlage settles down to the dull
mouo'ony of peace and qtret, just one
oi two of ilio e individuals can render
very lively tor a while, it the spirit
(the evil one) moves them, and it does
very often. A marriage would <irate
as great an ex* itemeiit wound here
now as Jumbo or a
would, it they were to pass the public
road.
But death alas! will vis't tlie most
most quiet section, and ouis is not ex
cepted. A few days since we beard
of the death of M s. Janies Benette,
nee Mary Morgan, fotmerly of this
place. She lately visited hei relatives
here—returned to Arkansas a few
weeks ago to die. Anotiiei one ot
Dades’ daughters sleeping far from
the land of her berth, and the graves
of her kindled here. Yes, this daik
mysterious messenger comes tonsol
ten, and tikes our loved ones a wav
with him into llre gieal beyond. An
as ofte l as he leaves, we ask ourselves
what lies there? But no one who pus
ses the Rubicon! of time comes bac
to tell, imagination visits flat res In
of inysit iv, hut soon wings it wav
back, us no token u! the lile
beyond the Imiiaon of death. The
gentle girl wife w hom metiy of us knew
and laved, years ago died, not far from
the place where Mrs. Benette died—
yes; she fell asleep with rapture in her
wonder stvicke.n eyes, a smile of joy On
her lips, and bands folded over a tri
umphant heart, but her lips told her
not of the visions that enthralled her.
Spring has come at las! guess you
have learned this (?) souictimeago: I
think March fired her parting salute
to old winter a few nights since. Old
Lookout trembled from base to summit.
N’y! how my heart palpitated too,
while I thought of all the cyclones
had ever heard of befere that night.
Sometimes I think I am an optimist;
notwithstanding that if a cyclone ever
visits our valley I would much rather
be semewhere elso. This iuiecd seems
to be the Monday morning of Nature,
and the year—i lie warm South wind
has comeback and brought with it the
bints. Once moic the wicns, and
sparrows are chirping in the bushes
and the woods—robins fbeke's like
flashes of fire through the trees. Yea
those warm dreaming days are bring
ing forth tlie apple blossoms and poets,
oe! that reminds me of an article I
saw in the Gazette a few years Ego,
entitled “Poetical Contributors” over
the signature of “Doc” (don’t know
wether the name was a nom de plume
or not) I wisli yon would reprint it
for my own benefit, and that of others
snffesjng from the same malady [un
written poetry--pressure— on the brain )
he, “Doc,” bogs of us not to elfevate
onr over-burdened poetiool facnltiu
through the paper, gives some pro,
setiptions how to treat the mania, and,
if, after following his directions we
cm find no relief only through the
newspaper columns, hints
—suicide, but, oh dear! I can’t enter
tain that idea for one moment, let that
be my apology for this
