D. 4, Oct. 2 News seems to be scarce around around here as everybody is busy picking cotton, and getting ready for the Sunday school anniversary tomorrow, which meets with the Sunday school at Smyrna. Our Sunday school is getting along fine and has made lots of prepara tion for the occasion in the way of songs and speeches. The farmers around here seem to be at a loss to know what to do with their cotton as the price ts so low and there tobacco failed to pay expenses, and lots of them will have to buy corn and meat next year to make the next crop on if they don't have to go to the war. There seems to be no progress going on around here at this time except Mr. Alfred Britt is having some new ditches nut in on his farm. We are quite sorry for Mrs. A. L. Stone for her pets. She had 4 fine pet kittens and for a fact a hawk caught 2-and was found eat ing them. Did you ever hear teli of a hawk catching kittens be fore? Mr. L. II. Britt is all smiles: it's a fine boy. Mr. G. W. Britt is all smiles: it's a fine girl. Mrs. J. W. Branch and daughter Wilmer went to town shopping this afternoon. I am always sorry to hear of boys getting bluffed, but there was a certain girl went to see an other girl to spend Sunday after noon, and two certain boys chane ed to pass that way and perchanc? met those two sweet girls at the gate, which gate seemed to be a nice cool shade, which is always a nice place to keep cool. But oh ! to their surprise the mother of one certain girl came on th? porch and told those certain girls to come in the house and get their dolls anil play with them.

Serfdom in England was finally abol ished in 1660. For a century after wards colonists and others on a visit to England were allowed to bring their slaves with them, but by a Judgment of the queen's bench in 1772, when an attempt was made to regain pos session of a fugitive slave it was de cided that no man in Great Britain could be held as a slave. An act for the abolition of slavery throughout the British colonies was passed by the British parliament, chiefly through the exertions of Wilberforce, in 1883, and on August 1, 1834, nearly 8,000 slaves became free. Their owners were com pensated by the British government to the extent of 20,000,000 sterling. Slavery was abolished in the East Indies, then under the control of the East India company, in 1838. Great Britain had nothing to do with slavery in South America or the United States. the result of kidney or bladder dis first Sunday school teachers in onr jease- church.
