CORRESPOND , ENTS AND READERS. It seems from the statements of several correspondents and infor mation received privately that "Somebody's Darling," our cor respondent' at Eagle Town, has made some unnecessay remarks about some of his neighbors. We regret this very much. We very otten inquire about our corres pondents especially a new one. and always try to get those who can appreciate the fact that the news cf the.neighborhocd, without unnecessary phraseology, is all that is wanted. Some of the cor- respondents nave been very pru dent and are much appreciated, others who are also appreciated tell us to print all they wfite, as it is thoroughly understood among themselves and the parties men- i 1- i 1 . uonea ana win be mutually .en- joyea as a jokb, wnile otners per- i ... a kind of correspondence bureau and make use of their privilege to say something ugly about a neigh bor with whom they " are probably. ? ou itnff, bpt ' of ,.term-. How- : which; -when to. mark out' and when not to, is next to impossible, but we have done and will contin ue to do, with closer and closer attention, to keep undesirable statements out of print. 'A point, however, n connection with this matter, and those who feel they have cause to complain, is not to be severe, do not go about making unkind remarks, for then you be come as bad as the person who writes to the paper. If you do not see nt to take it as a joke and j the opportunity oners, tell the corresponaent m a menaiy way he was in error "and you would prefer that he would either cor rect it or. not do so again. We be lieve most of them mean no harm and would heed your wishes, but but if they persist, drop the editor a card and it will be marked out or the correspondent dropped. Another thing, give the corres pondent a news item occasionally and be oii good terms with him, if you can, and we believe if he mentions you at all. it will be in pleasant way. The trouble with 'the Postoffice Department seems to be that it was put into the hands of politi cal managers instead of men of business and executive ability. Asheville Citizen. Very true, so it will always be. Among right thinking people the political manager is considered only a public roust-about, likely at any time to pick up anything he can get his hands on, and gen erally he seeks office for the sole purpose of 'bettering his oppor tunities at the expense of the pub lie. -The question of right and wrong never enters into ms con sideration, the opposition - must be "done," the filthy lucre must be had, is hisentire creed. Lynch- ingsare now confined to human brutes," but mark it,, the lynching of official tyrants, as in Bervia-, is not many years hence.

The cause of wheat being so poor was about two day's rain, and then the sun shone so hot that the wheat just died out. Oats are good. J. A. Ribelin says he has the best he ever rais ed. People in this vicinity are done harvesting. J. E. M. Davenport visited in the neighborhood of Corinth last Saturday and Sunday. The annual protracted meeting at Corinth will begin the first Sunday in August. Everybody is cordially invited to attend.

I know a man who cut one half day and did not get but three shocks of wheat. Plenty people nevsr struck a lick in their fields. t ' Saw Mill Jake. A Big Schooner Wrecked. Norfolk, June 22.
