We call attention to the ser¬
mon in this issue, delivered in
Knoxville by Rev. Moncrief and
shorthanded by our reported '
Supt. Sanders has a notice in
this issue of importance to all
patrons of schools.
The Snow, the Snow, the beau¬
tiful Snow. I’ll be glad when
from this earth [it shall melt and
go. The .Snow, the Snpw, the
beautiful Sndwq that falls on the
hill-tops so high, and down injfee
valleys so low, spreading its white
carpet everywhere. 1 trust you
i’ll never again from your Arctic
home, thitherward blow, Go, oh
Snow, beautiful Snow, and with
thy crystal sleet, drop, in the
Frigid Zone seek thy lair. We’ll
ne’r feel lone, and remember you
too, if you ’ill remain forever
there.
We heard a darkey, the other
day, ask W. W. Jordan for credit
to run his farm on this year. He
pleaded for quite a while to get
assistance, but was repeatedly re¬
fused. During the conversation,
the darkey was asked what land
he was going to cultivate. He
replied, and Mr. Jordan said, f
am going to plant some adjoining
that in watermelons. Where¬
upon the darkey remarked, dats
all right den, Mr. Jordan, if u’s
gwine plant watermillions elose
to dare, I don’t need no credic. I
can make out wicLout credic.
Santa Claus, in his last rounds,
paused to present a gift at the
home of Mr. Kingman Lowe
which has added materially to
his domestic bliss. It was " a
sweat young rural maid, and the
firstborn. Long may she live,
and in coming years, with roseate
cheek lend additional beauty and
grace to the sylvan scenes among
which she moves.
Dr. Kinney went to Fort Val¬
ley last week on business, but be¬
fore returning, he combined
pleasure with his trip. Doctor
has a happy faculty of combining
pleasure and business at all
times, but most especially, when
he goes southward, and travels
over that elevated Nancy Hank’s
log track behind a snail-gait en¬
gine that pulls out of Fort Val?
ley. It takes his pard, however,
to get there on the “Wnillie
Leaunx Track.” He caivmove up
and rattle his hocks with such
surprising speed that all things
else look miles behind before they
are ever reached.

Mr. Editor:—
We have had the biggest snow
we have ever seen in this county
and in consideration will say the
coldest winter up to the present
time.
Old uncle Lewis, a negro man
'iving on the premises of Mr.
Wade Seaglar, died very sudden¬
ly one uight- last week. He was
quite old and well thought of by
all who knew him.
Chunks of ice were seen float¬
ing down fimt River this week as
as dwelling houses.
It is quite deplorable to see so
wagons hauling fionr, ba¬
and corn, so soon in the sea
of the year.
Mr. Lee Spillers missed his
horse one night last week and it
supposed to have been stolen.
I feel proud to have the privi¬
through your columns, to
my conscience from
bottom of my heart, in letting
the people know the sentiment I
in behalf of rny county
the C. 0. C.
Wo have our being, while we
and the very great pleasure
secure for ourselves onr rights.
why not cherish those hob'es
belong to us and devote
minds to objects that, are fit
our consideration and action.
Our comprehensions should
*•
broad as the things for which we
act. We should render cheerful¬
ly our conceptions tb the magni¬
tude and the import a net < u the*
duties that devolve upon us with
absolute disregard of any person
a! consequences. And now in
conclusion will say, the people of
Crawford bounty have- long felt
the want of a good newspaper and
often so many efforts have been
made, they have at last succeed¬
ed through the auspicies c f the
Correspondent published by Mr.
J. M. Richardson, a gentleman of
intellect and well capacitated to
carry out the business he has
undertaken. Reis not only a
graduate in. Eng]i ; sl^ () Latip.,. etc.,
but Ims all the ample facilities of
a short hand reporter. Ft this
means he has the many advan
Liges over others heretofore, in
reporting speeches and sermons
through hfs columns by short
hand dictation. So with such a
pt.por as the O. 0. C. is, and the
beneficent support of the people
generally, it ought to be a beacon
light to guide us as enlighten
people on the road of success and
prosperity, and ought to be the
means of advancing social life
and constructing and building up
new enterprises. We as common
sense people ought to throw our
prejedices aside, if any we haye,"
and sacrifice our differences for
the good of our county and its pa¬
per. If ignorance is bliss, why
not act folly by taking your own
county paper and become wise.
