The study of human nature is one
of never-ceasing interest. Who is it
who does not like to stand on the
corner or inside some secluded spot
accessible to a glass door or window,
and watch the busy crowd coming
and going, all sorts, and conditions I
of mankind. We have often thought
we would iiKe to stana on and see
ourselves pass, and no doubt if such
a thing was possible it "would from
many a blunder free us,
And foolish notion."
The weather for the past week
has stopped farming operations, and
prospects are now for them to be on
a standstill for some time. Many of
our farmers want to sow spring oats,
but as yet weather conditions have
been unfavorable. With the scarcity
of corn, that exists, ther j is no crop
more profitable than oats, followed
by peas, riot even cotton at ten
cents per pound, but farmers are slow
to be convinced of tais, especially
the teaant class.
It is to ba hoped that between the
weather bureau and the gromd hog,
we will have a pretty night next
Friday, so that those who attend
may thoroughly enjoy the festival,
supper, and musical concert at the
new school house. It will ba an oc
casion of pleasure and enjoyment,
and we trust the weather will be
favorable. Let every bo Jy, and all
the children, come out next Friday
night to the entertainment. There
will be plenty to fill the inner man,
music to cnarm and elevate those
who are touched by the concord of
sweet sounds and social features
which will render the entire even
ing one continual round of enjoy
ment. All that is required of you, is
a good appetite, backed up by a
little "dough," in your jeans. You
