VISIT TO POLK COUNTY.
Messrs. Hill and GLTenn Take Pleas--
aht Trip To- Neighboring ;
County. '
The writer had the pleasure of
making a visit to Polk county re
cently and was accompanied by
Mr. J. W. Hill and family, of
Rutherf ordton, R. F. D. No: 1.
The visit was greatly enjoyed by
the participants. The first call
was on Mr. Smith, v of . Sandy
Springs, where we were greeted
with .courtesy. Mr. Smith is a
man full of energy and perseyer-
ence and has accumulated a lot of
real estate. He raises his hog
and hominy and does not depend
on Northern markets. We as
visitors, wish him a grand success
in the future.
Our next call was at Mr. C. C.
Owens, where we were met by
both Mr. and Mrs. Owens with a
snmnathetic crasD of the hand
- x- a
and a smile of welcome upon their
faces. Mr. Owens is annotiier
man that raises his hog and
hominy. He is a native of Ruth
erford county and is held with
high esteem by all who know him.
He has secured him a beautiful
home about one mile from Poors'
Jora, ana judging irom ail ap
pearances he is living a happy
prosperous life.
We then drove to Mr. H. C.
Calvert's, of Poors' Ford and
upon our arrival was met by two
Deauuiui, nttie gins, we are
constrained to believe that these
two little girls are an idol to their
father and mother, owing to their
gentle manners and ingeniousness
in their household affairs. Soon
Mrs. Calvert came out and greet
ed us with a hearty welcome.
She escorted the ladies into the
nouse, ana oeiore we got our
mules out Mr. Calvert came un
- T
and received us with a hearty
welcome. Mr. Calvert is a good
man and from the looks of his
surroundings the mice never visit
his flour and meal barrels and
leave them" crying because there
isn't any there to partake of . He
lives on the borders of Broad and
Green river.
The next call was at Mr. P.
Henderson's. We found him as
usual enjoying life. He is a man
of good moral character and is
liked by all his aquaintances, and
from the looks of his surround
ings prosperity is shinning in
everyday. He is addingimprove
ments to his residence, which
adds greatly to its appearance.
Our next call was at Mr. J. I.
Ridings. We were met with
greetings of welcome by hand
shaking and great joy. Mr. Rid
ings is well known in Polk and
Rutherford counties and is highly
esteemed throughout both count
ies. He has some valuable real
estate between Broad and Green
rivers, where he is raising corn in
abundance, and a splendid cotton
farm where he lives. He has two
beautiful young girls and the
boys are casting their eyes in that
direction.
The people of Polk county are
doing well and are growing rapid
ly in .wealth.
-We had the pleasure of attend
ing the,- Sunday School at Green
River, which Was largely attend
ed. J; W. Glenn in Rutherford

The Reading of Books.
A man is known by the com
pany he keeps in the comradeship
of life, like seeks like. One may
also be known by the books he
reads. You need not go to mind
reader or clairvoyant to ascertain
what your mental ; tendency is
and what is the chance for sound
healthful development and in
creasing grasp and vigor of
ihought. Write down a list o f
all the books you have read
during the last twelve months
and consider their value, , their
formative power, their elevating
and broadening tendency. If
they are lacking in these, they
la"ck all that is worth anything.
If you do not find a thought, that
sets your mental machinery in
active motion, in the first twenty

pages of a book, lay it vaside.
Read books that keep your mind
keyed up high so as to grasp the I
thought of the author. Read
books that compel you to read
them a second or third or fourth
time. Read them is such a way
that you will get more between
the lines than out of them. Read
such books as compel you to al
most shout for joy as though youj
had made a great discovery.
Read with pencil in hand and
dictionaries and reference books
at your elbows. Let your mind
be richer and fuller; and your
sympathies stronger and deeper,
and love springing up in your soul
as a well-spring of new life after
reading a good book. Make the
book better and more attractive
by your reading with side notes
and pencil marks. It was said
that it was a great pleasure to
lend Coleridge a good . book. . It
was returned doubled in value by
his additions in the way of notes
and pedcil marks. If you have
been reading some of the , light,
pleasant literature that is forgot
ten in a few days, let it alone and
take up something more instruc
tive. There are two many good
books for one to waste' time in
reading light and frivolous ones.
Review the list of books you have
read recently and see if there is
not a necessity of a reform.
