Prof. J. M. Lovejoy left Sun
day for his home at Wheatley.
Will Butler, of near Brinkley,
was on our streets last Saturday.
The Tip literary society met
Saturday night and elected new

Sunday.
Will Bolton, of Wiville, was
visiting in our neighborhood the
latter part of last week.
W. D. Tucker has been busy
for the past few' weeks buying
cattle for R. B. McKnight of
Brinkley.
If the rain will hold off now
for a while our industrious
farmers will soon have their
crops planted.
Dr. I. R. Patterson of Wiville
completed his telephone line last

twelve miles long.
Be sure to come and hear Bro.
F. E. Taylor preach next Sunday

Our school closed last Friday.
It has been carried on for some
time under the control of Prof.
Lovejoy of Wheatley and every

teach our next school.
Mr. F. P. Wright has received
his saw mill and -will soon have it

our farmers for every day they
have to spare from their crops.
We regret to say that Edgar,
infant son of Mr. and Mrs. J. R.
Barnett, died on Friday of last

only sick a short while, though
all was done for him that was in

them in their bereavement.

A. S. THOMPSON, DeView
himself. Of course we attempt
ed to teach a while as he said, j
and when the school had “dwin
dled” to some seventeen pupils
(not seven) on account of bad
i weather, we would not work
| longer for we saw that we were
not needed. Then, of course,;
the directors stopped our wages.
As he said, we were competitors
for the assistantship of our win
ter school, This is the way it
was: Your writer, the “kid,”
was going to school, at the same j
school there has been so much
talk about, and had never dream-;
ed or thought of teaching school
at any time. Meanwhile “Extra >
No. 1” applied for the school and >
did not get it (wre will not say !
why.) So, one Sunday afternoon,'
the teacher of our school stopped
at our house and left word that I
should try my hand at teaching
on the morrow. We wish to say
here that W'e never applied for
the school at all. Of course we
went and did our best and no one
has ever complained but “Extra
No. 1,” and you know why he
kicks. Well, after we commenc
ed teaching, our friend informed
us, more than once, that he
wTould like to go along when we
did and stand the examination,
too. So, one Thursday, about
sundown, we learned that we
should be examined the next day
at Cotton Plant. Not wanting to
slight our friend, we made men
tion of his knowing the time, and
our father volunteered to go and
let him know—for his sake not
ours,—and directly, who steps
in but “the citj- man” to learn
what he can and spend the night
with us. As for the praying, of
course our father prayed, but to
a some-what higher power than
this “No 1” man of knowledge.
Next morning when we arrived
at the city of Cotton Plant—the
piace our friend knows so much
about—he inquired for the school _
house and finally succeeded in
finding it. There are some
places he does not know where
they are, but he does know
where his uncle lives. Our friend
seems to think that we are very
dependent upon him for our
knowledge, but right here we
would like to lift this burden
from his shoulders and beg his
pardon if we, by any act of ours,
have ever caused him to think so.
But enough of this I will not at
tempt to reply to his spicy article
as we have been requested by
| some of the most honorable and :
l respectable citizens of our neigh
| borhood to stop such correspon
dence as it will do no good at all,
and we will submit to them. As
they say, we have one of the
quietest, best and as intelligent a
neighborhood as there is in the
j state, and we do not propose to
do anything that would not be
honorable and upright or that is
liable to east a reflection on our
neighborhood. We wish to say
that what we have had to say in
i regard to this matter and all
others was through the greatest
respect and good-feeling toward
1 everyone. After this if anyone
wants to howl just let ’em howl,
the more noise he makes the
more attention he’ll draw. With
! the kindest feeling toward every
I one we wish to say that hereafter
| we will speak only of such things
that we think will not offend any
