A Farmer's Dream.
Once a farmer had one thousand
eight hundred bushels of wheat,
Which he sold, not to one ainola
grain merchant, but to one thousand
eight Hundred different dealrs, a
bushel to each. A few of them naid
him in cash, but far the greater num
ber said it was not convenient then.
but would pay later. A few months
passed, and the man's bank accouut
ran low. "How is this?" he said.
' My one thousand eight hundred
bushels of grain should have kent me
in affluence until another croD is rais
ed, but I have parted with the graiu
and have instead only a vast number
of accounts, so small and scattered
that I cannot gut around and collect
it fast enough to nav mv exnniineH
So he posted up a public notice and
asked all those who owed him to pay
quickly. But few came. The rest
said. 'iMine is only a small matter
and I will go and nay one of those
days," forgetting that though each
account was very small, when all
were put togother they meant a largo
sum to the man. Things went on
thus: the man got to feeling so bad) v
and rolled and tossed about so much
in his efforts to collect that be fell
out of bed and awoke, and running to
his granary found his one thousand
eight hundred bushels of wheat still
safe there. He had on v been dream
ing, and hadn't sold his wheat at all
Moral The next day the man went
to the publisher of his paper, and
said, Here, Bir is the pay for your
paper, and when next rear's suh
scripton is due you can depend upon
me to pay it promptly. I stood in
the position of an editor last night.
and I know how it feels to have one's
honestly earned money scattered all
over the country in small amounts.

Appropriate Resolutions of Re
spect were passed by the United
Evangelical S. S. of Perms Creek in
memory of David Kerr, late of Cen-
teryille. Ihis is a fitting testimonial
for so worthy a citizen. If the
friends of departed ones would send
us a brief sketch with a euWv nf
those they intend to praise it would
be a big improvement over the stere
otyped resolutions that are nearlv all
worded the same. Won't our friends
end sketches instead of resolutions?
Sunday Campmeeting.
It was indeed remarkable to nh.
serve how many people on Sunday
passed through here on their wr
to colored campmeoting to soe a lot
oi coiorea people hold mock services
and putting to shame all
tious efforts to serve a Deity. Lajr-'
lessnoss reigned supreme. Fights
and quarrels were the order of the
day. Whiskey and beer seemed to
be plenty. Some was taken tlmro
by the visitors, but thore were too
many people intoxicated to bolieve
that stimulants were not on tan
near the mock worshippers' tabor
nacle. If tho rumor that 50 tn 7r,
cases of beer wero sold on Sunday.is
true, the matter should bo investigated.
About 6 o'clock in tho oveuing a
young man from Coutrevillo with
his best girl came in from the canm
ground as swiftly us lain horse could
go. He turned rouud tho cornor at
the Franklin Rollor Mills on two
wheels of his buggy. While going
ovor toward the centre of town his
horse was going as fast as ho could,
yet his drunken driver was whinp-
ing his homo and yelling ut him.
The young lady seoniod unconcern
ed and seomod to enjoy tho spood at
which they wero traveling. At tho
bauk building tho horse turned to
go up town, the driver observing
this, pulled the horse toward the
Centreville roud which gave Mm
buggy a short turn and upset the
vehicle landing the occupants in tho
top. Tho horse stoppod immedi
ately and was caught and hold. The
occupants rolled out, the lady
neither hurt nor frightened,
driver had several cuts about
face and head. The top was
only thing that was broken about
tho buggy. The fellow was very
hilarious and wanted to light, when
his horse was taken to a Btable, the
drunken driver landed in jail aud
his girl sent to the hotel. The
horse, buggy and girl were sent
home with friends on Sunday even
ing yet and tho young fellow was
kept with the sheriff until Monday
morning, when he was sober, lm
was allowed the pleasure of walkiug
home aud ponder over his narrow
escape.
Such are some of the results of
colored campmeeting.

The Governor has asked Repre

lhese cominitteos' reports were
