Tnis section of our county has surely en joyed the day, for on every side there is appiness and good cheer. Santa Claus has dealt kindly and much happiness has been dispensed. One of the most important to us was the xhibition of Davis Cross Road academy on the evening of the 24th inst., conducted by that genial and energetic young professor, Ellison Capers, Jr., who deservingly mer its the praise and admiration of all the pa trona of the academy for advancing so rap dy the culture of the minds of his stu ents.

God Be With You Till We Meet Again ymn by the School. This closed one of the most delightful en tertainments our section has ever enjoyed, oupled with the gratification that this school -is an honor to oar county. The speeches were of great taste and delivered with eloquence and decorum which would have done credit to any high school, and uch sweet music, rendered by Mrs. W. W. Benbow, stirs the soul and carries us back to the days of Beethoven, when the soldiers wished to die amid music, sweet music. The address of Prof. Capers was well timed and exceedingly appropriate and highly appreciated. He spoke at length upon the great necessity of education and the training of the young mind at home nd at the school-room. He spoke of the duties of the parents to children in home preparation for school; he spoke of the zeal and energy with which the patrons had assisted him in the great work and his appreciation for -their efforts; he made clear the duties of parents in home rule mould ing the young mind for the battles of this life and while he was proud of the advance mont of his school he enjoined upon every scholar to press forward and continue un til the school would take place with other high schools of the State. His kind and pleasant address to the little children has won their hearLs and I wish I could pro. duce his address for your readers but sutice to say we are fortunate in procuring the serrices of this intellectual and zealous young man to train our children. The residence of Col. R. R. Billups on Christmas night was the scene of many happy and beautiful ladies and anxious young men enjoying the evening with music and song. A masquerade party from Davis Station conducted by that prince of "cheer and ple-asantziess," Bill Trescott, joined this happy band which proved a pleasing and pleasant supprise indeed. Their costumes were in great taste. This addition of our friends of Davis Station was a treat. We extend to our genial friend Bill our congratulutions wishing him a happy new year and trusting he may live to make us happy another Christmas. L. POWDER Absolutely Pure.' A cream of tartar baking powder. High st of all in leavening strength.-Latest U. S. Goernnent Food Report. S. A. Nettles, alanning, S.

PAcxsvLE, Dec. 28.-I think it has been some time since you have heard anything from Packsville. The cotton season is about over, and low prices left the farmers in debt. Packsville in now quite a business place. We have eight stores, two steam gins, and two cane mills. I think about eighteen hundred gallons of syrup has been manu factured here this season. I had the pleasure of attending a confer ence meeting of the Home Branch Baptist church Saturday. After excluding five members for drinking, cursing. and swear ing, they adopted a resolution to exclude any member that takes a drink of intoxi cating liquors as a beverage. That is what all our chuches need-a line drawn between professors of religion and the world, to keep our members on one side or the other. I hope all other Christian churches will fol- e low suit after the noble old Home Branch. That will be the greatest revival of religion that has ever been since my time, to get drunkards out of our churches. J. J. B. COMMENDABLE. All claims not consistent with the high character of Syrup of Figs are purposely avoided by the Cal. Fig Syrup Company. It acts gently on the kidneys, liver, and bowels, cleansing the system effectually, but it is not a cure-all, and makes no pre tensions that every bottle will not substan tiate.

Address THE S. BRAINARD'S SONS CO., Chicago, Id. Button's Farewell to Foreston. The sun is sinking royally to rest behind the western clouds as we wander through the town. Nature is still supreme ini her gorgeous beauty, her crimson dyes, her b golden fields, and rich floods of light, which lovingly kiss the pine forests, the distant hills, the soft green valleys, the roofs of the ( quiet %illage, and the towers of its modest churches. There is the cemetery, with its marble, the glittering shaft, and the white n, slab, bearing their tablets of peaceful livts. Beneath the sod rest the weary heads, and the folded hands, in sweet oblivion of life's fierce battles, of the mad, surging tide of rancor, humiliation. and the sordid, soul less sway of mammon. Voices from that inner world-memory call to us as we wander over the wide, des olate wastes of the present, and unseen hands are beckoning to us to go back to those scenes so interwoven with the desti ny of some whose names make music in our heart. There is "la petite" brunette, whose eyes flash and beam, as caprice or at emotion seizes her. There the fairy blonde til who looked so dangerously pretty at the cracker ball on Tuesday night. Now, the staturesque repose of Miss awakens our sincere admiration. Those eyes of hazel gray reveal the immaculate purity of a sterling character, of inflexible will, lofty aspirations, and strong, fervent, G religious principles; we exult in the con sciousness that her name is engraven deep ly on our heart as friend. Ah! We sigh when we think of a future which will tear us from the many flowers - clustering around our path. Here are Roses and Daisies and Olives, with all the inherited sweetness of their floral name sakes. Here are names also which have adorned the pages of classical fiction and the drama--Blanches, Ethlyns, Augustas, Janies, Coras, Paulines, Margarets, Al leines, Lulus, and one immortal in song, Juanita. Theresare, besides, multitudes of lesser deities, Zaydas, Inez, Florides, Fan- c nies, Gertrudes, and Willies, each presiding in turn over our young affections, and all playing their part in this tender romance. al Oh, iron hand of destiny ! Bear lightly on this poor waif, this "nursling of the storm." Yet, as we glance around the spell is broken, the charm dissolved. The future is ours; on its unwritten pages we hope to open a history in letters that glow. We , sever the ties of to-day only to mend the v, broken links to-morrow. We leave bright al scenes behind us to greet them again where we go. In our mental peregrinations we make the discovery that our greatest danger is our weak, cowardly heart. We soliloquize softly, "Button, old fellow, forgetfulness is $ your best policy; quaff the chalice of Le thean wine which the future holds to your lips." And now, with this toast we bid farewell to the friendly columns of Tur. TraES: "Heres a smile to those who love me, And a smile to those who hate me, And whatever sky's above me, a Here's a health to thee, old Tntns," And a happy new year to the editor.
