We wonder why one of the
Freemen, of Augusta, did not
make his appearance at the Wa
verly accordiog to previous ar
rangements! ’Tis passing strange
that that magnificent team
was not used last Sunday. But
then this is a strange and* won
•1- derful world.
The boy that expects to find a
job hanging around loose at the
top of the ladder might as well
go off and lie down and want for
the gentle zephyrs to blow a few
dollars into his hands, or eise let
the ravens feed him. It is a
matter of impossibility for a
young fellow to do anything at
the top without first climbing up
there through his own personal
efforts. A three-foot boy can’t
reach up a ladder of personal
achievement and capture a job
ten feet in the ethereal elements.
This old universe just naturally
ain’t built that way.'—Ex.
Every town has a few and
some, be it said to their credit,
have a very few, citizens who
kick at every effort made toward
advancing the welfare of the
town. If one is so situated that
he can not aid in any way he
should have enough open-heart
1=1
edness to wish the others God’s
speed in any laudable undertak
ing. A close unprogressive in
dividual will aid more to help
“shrink” up a town than any in
fluence we know of. Get in or
get clear out of the way. Don’t
retard the efforts of those who
are willing to give of their time
and money to advance the inter
est of the town.—Ex.
BUS BURG PAPERS.
[CoetiuthTj From Tmst TskttkI
Just to demonstrate how
things work we will try another
so called fable. My friend and I
both needed a little loose change, i
and so we went down behind the
lot to have a little passtime shoot
ing craps. We did not play
much, only just long enough to
know that neither of us had any
money and then we quit, but the
terror of the law came down up
on us in the shape of the afore
said deputy and trotted us into
line. We brought up a dozen
negroes to prove that we were
not there and some of them
swore that we were over a hun
dred miles from the place at that
time but the court would not be
ieve them so we went into soak
for ten apiece and the trimings.
Just afterwards some fellows up
in town of Dogleg got into a
pretty hot game of cards and the
fellows that got beat squealed so
they were pinched but in a much
more polite manner and we just
to see justice done, brought up
I the same dozen negroes who
swore that they had seen the
playing, drinking, selling whis
key to minors, dynamiting ffsh
in Legal Standard river and all
of their crimes but just because
they were swearing against rich
j men the court again refused to
| believe them and the prisoners
i were released. But Bill and I
| with our negroes went into soak
for twenty-live dollars and cost,
each on the charge of false evi
dence. Now you see that Bill
and I were poor, but the other
fellows were rich.
Now take this fable and see if
I it is not in spirit as true as any
| you ever read. I don’t say that
our courts discriminate between
the rich and the poor just to .that
extent, but I do say that It looks
—there Bill jmu darned
little fool you have spoiled my
j writing again swatting me over
! the head with that blamed old
dead cat just when I was busy.
| Boys only eight or ten years old
| should not use their old fathers
I that way.

Grass is growing scarcer ev
cry day.
T. A. Smith and wife visited
Mr. Ben Fenny’s Sunday.
O. W. Watson, of Wynne, was
over to see his farm last week.
Ask Ben Wise if he had rather
catch Gars or let Gars catch him.
We heard that somebody had
lost a ring. Of course, but it
must be true.
Dr. Morris and wife, of De
View, were at the spelling last
Saturday night.
F. P. Wright now has his saw
mill in shape for running and wei
suppose, will saw all summer.
Our Sunday school folks have
commenced practicing for child
ren’s day exercises, which will
be held the fifth Sunday in June.
The Gen. let the boys have a
day off Saturday and they made
straight for the bayou. Fon
caught 26 nice fish and Ernest
caught a plenty, but not 26.
Lumber is being 1 auled to in
crease the size of our school
house which is greatly needed.
The directors then intend, ceiling
and weather-boarding the house
and having it painted.
We are informed that on last
Saturday night Mr. J. H. Hart
sell captured the captain of a
band of marauders that have
been over-running our country
for sometime. We learn the
captain was tried before Esq. F.
B. Winfree, found guilty of
Grand Larceny and bound over
to the supreme court; that he
was released under a thousand
dollar bond, for which S. C. Cov
ington was surity. Sebron, be
coming a little uneasy about this
notorious gentleman, withdrew
his name from the bond and
placed the captain in the hands
of constable J. R Barnett. This
youug man has caused much dis
turbance in our community by
rolling wagons off; stealing chick
ens and bee-gums; flagging crops
that didn’t need it(?), tearing up
and hiding farm implements and
riding on Mr. Proctor’s cultiva
tor much against his will. When
captured, he was some thirty-five
feet in the air ou a pole, acting
the clown for his crew, who were
enjoying themselves immensely.
This man cannot be induced to
say a word. He may decide to
speak when court convenes. We
congratulate these gentlemen for
the courage and boldness they
have shown’!n attacking such a
notorious crew.

PREACAERS FISHING.
Last week, our two preachers,
Rev. F. E. Taylor and Rev. Col.
A. J. Marsh, concluded to go
fishing. Rt'v. Taylor manipulat
ed the lines and Rev. Marsh pad
died the canoe. It is said Rev.
Marsh paddled himself to sleep
and came very neari (falling into
the water, while Rev. Taylor did
fall in. The way some men can
slip and siideiis a caution. Rev.
Taylor seemed to be anxious to
find out whether or not the
ground was solid on the banks of
their fishing pond and there be
ing nothing handy with which to
ascertain this fact, lie undertook
the novel device of sitting down
real hard upon the ground. We
have often been told that neces
sity is the mother of invention,
we are now prepared to say that
we believe ik. After a thorough
tost, Rev. Taylor came to the
conclusion that the gronnd is far
from being a well padded cush
ion. These two ivorld-fained di
vines brought home a few fish,
but whether they bought them
or caught them we do not know.

FOR THOSE WHO LIVE ON FARMS,
Dr. Berlin, Pana, Ills., writes:,
“I have used Ballard’s snow Lini
ment; always recommend it to my
friends, as I am confident there is
no better made. It is a dandy for
burns Those who live on farms are
especially liable to many acciden
tal cuts, burns and bruises which
heal rapidly whenBallard's Snow
Liniment is applied. It should
always be kept in the house for
cases of emergency. 25c, 50c and
$1.00 at Dr. J. B. Neal.
SPRING AILMENTS.
There is an aching and tired
feeling; the liver, bowels and kid
neys become sluggish and inac
tive the digestion impaired with
little or no appetite, no ambition
for anything, and a feeling that
the whole body and mind needs
toning up. The trouble is, that
during winter, there has been an
accumulation of waste matter in
the system. Herbine will remove
it, secnre to the secretions a right
exit, and by its tonic effect, fully
restore the wasted tissues and
give strength in place of weak
ness. 50c at Dr. J, B. Neal.
