Items Gathered and Hurried Thrown Together for the Edifycatiou of the Hurried Reader Who is Too Busy For Long Articles. PIQUANT, PITHY °ARACRAPHG Work was commenced on tho college building at Rising Fawn Wednesday. The only objection that can be found is that there is not enough ground by an acre. Mr. Cantrell while doing the phi lanthrophist act should give all that si required, as a good school will enhance the value of his other property —provided he wants to sell. The people generally should give as much as possible, towards building this institution as it is badly needed. While at Rising Fawn last Tuesday we learord that a widow of a federal soldier had received a voucher for SOOO and before she could get it cashed the pension bureau had sent her another for SI,OOO.

On ever oc casion that you see them they .are dressed in their blue clothes. Mr. J. P. Jacoway was called to Montgomery, Ala., last Saturday before the Alabama Railroad com mission in reference to to the right of way of the Ala. Great. South ern Railroad in Tuscoloo sa, Alabama. lie gained his point, If our booming friends of Tren ton and Dade county want a paper that keeps up with the times of the south they should send for the Baltimore Maufacture Record. It is a friend to every nook and cor ner of the south. Mrs. T. H. B. Cole gathered from her orchard seventeen pears that weighed twolve pounds and a quar ter, The largest weighed a pound and an eighth. It also measured twelve inches in circumference, Who can beat it? Can a man or boy bo made to go and buy tools to work the roads, which will be of no benefit to him afterwards? We would like for some one to answer this for us. If The TiMEaaJoes not appear on time next week yon can attribute it to our devil be jpg. at work on the streets. The marshal says that he will work them Monday. The Times does not make any boast as to what it is going to do for the simple fact that it is not able to boast. Give a few men a little power and jt makes them so arrogant that the lives of their neighbors are miser able. * Let some of the side streets be cleaned out and opened up. Don’t put all the work on the main road. T. H, B. Cole put in his appli cation for membership of the lazy Club Wednesday morning. If our delinquents don't settle up we will be forced to suspend and sue all owing us. Some ot our delinquents are going to get sued before they know It if they don’t pay up. S. 11.

Correspondents are wanted for The Times. bocal news is a scarce article this week. The sick are not improving very fast, The boomers are in Boston yet. Cash is wanted at this office. The Times is loaded for b’ar. The boom is still abornin. Call in and settle at once. Cool nights There are but three classes of men' in every community, the ret rograde, the stationary, and the progressive. Thu two former have little or no regard for the newspa per or its influence and read it sim. ply to find out what is‘‘going on,’' hut who could fold their arms and sec it die with tjie utmost compla cency, leaving the progressive por tion of the community as the only real sufferers, The retrograde and stationary class of every pommu nilv are generly the critics of the nawsuapers and Steele truthfully said: ‘‘Of a)l mortals a critic is the silliest; for by insuring himself to examine all things, whether they are of consequence or not, he never looks upon anything without a de sign of passing sentence upon it.” Edwin Forrest once compared a critic to a puppy “who barked at everything he could hot under.- stand.” The entire value of a good news paper is rarely estimated by the average reader, One looks upon it simply as the chronicle of pass, ing events. Another looks upon it as the exponent or defender of a cherished idea, with which he is in sympathy. The newspaper is more than ‘this; it is conductive to morality, honesty and the gen eral welfare of the community in in which it is issued. Many little peccadillos are nipped in the bud by wholesome dread of exposure through the newspaper. Mon are more circumspect when they know that the argus eye of the re porter or local editor is upon them. Thieves dread and hate the news papers. because all their schemes and modus operandi are laid bare before the pubiic eye. The news paper is looked upon by the crimi* nal classes of the community as the light house Is viewed by the wrecker; while it continues to il luminate. their occupation is jeop ardised.
