Eimtok Columbia Herald: We take pleasure iu tilling the blank and in trying to help the Hkkalp along. I think everybody ought to take an interest in n-aking the Herald in teresting. 1 hav'ut mucli to write but I will inform the geutlemen what is expected of them as husbands and express my views of what is ai"Mod el Husband." A husband is to be looaed to for aid and protection; a kind and loving husband, and oue who fulfills his duties, is a source of pleasure and happiness to auy wo man's heart; but the man who is rude and haisli, I do not think he is worthy of a wife. YouDg men, be fore choosing your wife think it all over well in your mind ; do not rush into married life so soon, but enjoy your boyhood grace, aud when you have become a full grown man then it is time look out for a full bloomed rose. Think out if her temper and yours are certain to agree well to gether, and before you put your haud in hers tell her that you are willing to fight out the battle of life together. Taiuk it all over well and remember that you are choosing your sweet heart not for a dav or a year but all through life, and then it is according to the way you walk whether your life be spent in happiness or sorrow. If you are honest aud upright and please God, your pathway may be strewn with beautiful tlowers and sunshine, aud if you falter your rose may bend her head iu darkness aud sadness all the days of hei life. A husband must be atteutive to his family and household duties if he wishes to make a sweet peaceiui h mie, aud by this he cau have his bosom full of joy aud love, aud if he toiled in the field all day he cau come home at u'ght and the smiling face of his wife a id fond kisses cau allbrd him more happiness aud pleasure than anything else on earth.

There were no services at either of the churches on last Sunday morning, as at the regular hour for services the fun tral services of Mr. W. M. J. Williams were conducted, by Rev. W. H. Wilkes. Death came, but not before our friend and neighbor had suffered greatly. We extend to the bereaved ones our heart felt sympathy. On Sunday evening Brother Patty tilled the pulpit at the Presbyterian church. His discourse for the evening was cbieliy for the hearing of the young people of the congregation, but we feel sure that hU sound reasoning aud friendly warning furnished food for even older souls. The song service at the M. E. Church neijt Sunday night will be something worth hearing. The choir will meet at the home of Mr, W, K Stephens next Thursday night to practice lor the ser. vie.

Miss Kstelle Prewett is now with her father. We hope she will be with us for a long time, for her sweet smiles and happy disposition lend many a charm to our social circle. Mr. Ben Mason, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, was iu our mi 1st last week. Strong aud sweet indeed must be the charms of the blue-eyed lassie that called him from that far-off land.

Mr. Editor: We are very glad to note that quite an interest is being tak en in a matter of a direct turnpike road from here to Columbia. e under stand that there is already a guarantee of enough subscription to bring the road to Green's Lick Creek, a distance from Columbia, on the direct Columbia and Williamsport road, of five miles. Then we have authority for saying there are parties here who will guaran- i L. .. : i i : ; w . I .n i. Hill, a distance of four miles, also on the direct Williamsport and Columbia road. This will leave only three miles to be taken, and as these three miles pass through the premises of very able and enterprising citizens, we feel confi dent they will guarantee the building of this part. There is however a report in circulation that there is a movement being made to build a pike, beginning at Flemming's store on Hampshire pike, thence through theTlndal lane, a distance of two miles, to Williamsport and Columbia road, and thenc ) three miles in the direction of Williamsport, where a gate is to be placed and the rjadtostop. We have futher under stood that some of the citizens of Co lumbia have promised to contribute to the building of this road amounts ag gregating seventeen hundred dollars. We cannot think this last can be true, provided tbe.donors know of the pro posed direct road. We know these 1 same parties would prefer to trive to a direct road leading the whole way from Columbia to Williamsport, rather than to an indireet road, two miles out oi the way. and stopping three miles short of reaching Williamsport. wnat the pur- nose of the protectors of this road is, we do not know, unless it be to connect with another projected snort road lead ing by Zion church on to Polk's Station. If this be the purpose, it certainly is not the interest of Columbia to contrib ute to the building of a road the effect of which would be to direct trade from their city rather than draw it there. The people of our community are na turally and justly opposed to such a road, tor should sucu a one ue Duwt it will prevent us from ever building a direct road, and at tbe same time force us to go two miles turiher oolh in going to and returnl.'ir from Columbia, iu or der to travel on a turnpike. We hope the good people of Columbia will pause a little while in this matter. The propo sition to aid in building a direct road will shortly be presented them, and we know it will be greatly more to their in terest as well as ours to assist in build it rather than the one refered to.
