The late spring has caused nur

Injurs our good people.
Some of our young men are con
templating having a fish fry at
Dockery’s fishery next Saturday
night.
The sweet fragrance of the wild
Jess ad no, tho bamming of the
bees, the merry songs of the birds
and the hasty rustling nt the
leaves as the liaaaid takes fright
flam the psessr by, all unmistak
ably announce to us that odd
weather has passed and beautiful
spring is here. Surely it's em
blemetkj of the Joyous resurrec

The entertainment given by
Miss SallieS. Lite's school at auk
dale academy last Thursday night
was in every feature a success.
The sebool room, though quite a
commodious one, would not hold
the bug* audience that assembled
there. Mr. Junius Idles, brothor
of tha teacher, opened the exer
cise with a few introductory re
marks in behalf of his sister. The
Steele’s Mill string band rendered
excellent muale between the mei
tatioos. At the clone of the ex
•irniese Mr. J. H. Wsleb, our 8upt.
of Public Lrietruction, • made a
short speech which was well re
eeivad. He introduced Mr. A. 8.
Dockery as orator of the evening.
The people uf Richmond county
are too well acquainted with Mr.
Doshasy as an orator for me In
try le Imirhi hie speech. Messrs.
Jss. Lilas and Luster Rat tiff, of
Garie, also participated in the ex
ireism. Thne rlomd one of the
