School at Pleasant Hill ha* goue dowu.
The people of this community should
not permit this to be so. There are
enough people both young aud old in
this vicinity to have a good t-ehool at
this place, and it is the duty of the old
er people to lake an active part in or-'
gauizing and maintaining a Sabbath
School here. The influence that goes
out from a Sabbath Schood is always
good, and the children of every cornu til
should have an opportunity of going to
a Sabbßth School, and taking part in a
work that will do them good, and thns
keep them out of some mischief that
they would very likely be into.

The Hope Hills Sensation.
About one mile from Hope Mills is a
large bay called Blaeks Bay. Near the
edge of this bay lives Mr. John H.
Johnson. Some time ago Ills boy we*
awakened at night by a stranger who
told him to go to the corner of his
father * fence aud step off by the aide
of the fence ten steps and he would
come to a bunch of evergreen*, under
which was buried a bushel pot of yellow
money. The next day Johnnie procured
a shovel and commenced digging. The
hole was dug about five feet aud com
menced caving. The yellow money
bßd not been found. Lumber woe
procured and naed to prevailt the c*v
iug, and the digging continued. John,
nie came to a root with three chops in
It. He took the root up and examined
it to see if the chop* were old and what
kind ot tree it grew on.
While examining the root the stran
ger again appeared and told him that
ha wa« digging in the right place but
had not gone deep enough. Tbisstrau
ger said that ooe hundred aud thirty
year* ago lie buried tha money there
and thirty seven men were after him
at the time. That the root found was
a poplar root, and the chops in it were
made while digging the hole to bury
the money.
Pointing to the bay the stranger
•aid that at that time it was foil of
laig* poplars, and pointing to a pine
he raid that that was oua of hie hue
tree*,. He then disappeared la the
hole.
Johnnie continued to dig until the
hole commenced filling up with water.
A pump was obtained aud the digging
continued, untdl it is now eight feet
deep.
Hope Milt* i* greatly excited. Tie
old women say they are not superst -
lieu*, but are afraid to put their beads
out of the windows after dark. Tha
young men joke about tha yellow mon
ey, but wear silver dimes in Ibeir shoes
when they go out at night.
Johnnie is still digging.—Fayette
