MYERS, Cashier A PROGRESSIVE STOCKMAN. A ViaU ts • Stock farm—And Thars Sbsald ha Tan Thoas aad Lika it la Onr Tsrrilsry. W. n. TiMmu el Itedell cgvetr la rtwa rnalrt Firmer. Yesterday I wandered around some in the foothills of the mountains and found there an ideal spot: a restful shady place where one could get some slices of bread and bnttcr and a glass of icy rich milk. This was upon the stock farm of Mr. K. C. Shuford. f Good natured Bob the neighbors call him.) HU farms nestle back upon a pretty stream of water where the screech of the mill whistle and railroad trains do not dUturb bU morning nap. Mr. Shuford is a breeder of Jer sey cattle and Berkshire pigs. He is a careful, painstaking, conscientious man and devotes every bit of time sod talent, brain and muscle, to the im provement of bit already Gnc nerd of cattle and swine. There U in hia herd some of the finest blood procurable. HU barns and silos are of the most approved style and in his silos ate packed more than enough ensilage to winter a hundred bead of stock. His pasture lots stretch out in different directions and over these are scattered those pretty mild-eyed Jerseys with their patrician bearing, and pedigrees as long as your arm. The pedigrees do not seem to worry them as they browse about on the succulent grass or stand contentedly in tbe streams ever and anon flicking a fly from their sides. Did yon ever notice that A animal ia in manti respects much like a well-bred person? There is a genteel simplicity about them that sep arates them from the common herd. The daity is built on n green undulating slope. Tfae first story is of roeks built rustic fashion. Around the upper side of this runs a silvery stream of water which pours over a water wheel from which the power is obtain ed to operate the separators, churn and- bntter working ma chines. Ordinarily speaking, there is very little poetry in churning, but here with the mu sical cadence of the water gurg ling over the wheel and with the white-capped, white-aproned las sies with the bloom of perfect health on their checks, busily moulding the golden hutter into prints, and singing merrily the while—well, that's poetry among the classics. Mr. Shnford is a very busy man and baa many details to look aftr r in the management of the growing crops, the care of the live stock, and the sale and shipment of both the products of the dairy and breeding ani mals; hut hit business Is metho dical and ssell regulated, hence he has ample time for the enjoy ment of toe good things around him, His local reputation sells the greater part of his products and a modest little ad. in the Progressiva Fanner moves all the surplas. - The greatest attraction, how ever, on this farm-is a youngster of four with ant-brown curia a foot long, which flow luxuriantly flown over the shoulders and apron of the tiny blue overalls. He la • great example of what Jersey milk and Berkshire bam gravy will dot but 'tie extreme ly doubtful if your Cousin Ofonre^ will ever be able, with all Ms flue stock, to produce as heir to BUtaaoM which will any thing Hke tonal this moautefs banner e pride.

Plerrlll* Cm. Cbwlutt* Cbroairlt. Our village was tbe scene of sotne excitement last week oc casioned by the coming to life of a certain Mr. Thornhill, who was supposed to have died years ago. It appears that Mr. Thorn bill married a girl, who lived in Greenville, S. C., who came to Pineville about three years ago, and obtained work in Dover Mill. Mrs. Thornhill, who is decidedly s good looking wom an. said that she was a widow, and she and her little daughter, Lois, pursued the even tenor of their way nntil s man, a Mr. Strickland, appeared on the , scene. Mr. Strickland succumbed to tbe charms of the fair widow, and they were duly married. , Happiness, apparently "perched on their banner," and all was , going on well until husband No. 1 quietly and unannounced, walked in. Mr. Thornhill was well dressed, and real nice look ing. and behaved as lamb-like as coaid be desired. He said be only wanted his little daughter, Lois, who is a remarkably bright little girl, and it appears that there was no objection to this wish. The two husbands walked up the street as amiably as two old chums, and Mr. Strickland purchased Lois a nice pair of shoes, and, afterwards accom panied Mr. Thornhill and Lois to the depot, shook bands with them, and returned to his home, where his wife and baby awaited him. They decided to seek other fields and pastum new, and shook off the dust of- Pioeville, as they gave out. to some point in Georgia, so "all’s well that W«I| UBl H WHS R cool proceeding, Tiist riurrs.

As a MUSS.I __ the, case of cotton producer* who have obligations at the itore*i cotton is being marketed ia rapidly as it can be picked. Many of tbe larger planters are raiding for 11 cents and over; rat taken all in all the feeling hat 10 cents is a good price ia raite pronounced. Tbe yield bis year is smaller than Iasi rear and not op to tbe expects ions of a month or six weeks igo.

Phase suggestions, however, are merely in tbe nature of individ ual exressions. There has been ao organized movement in re tard to the matter and there ia bo certainty that there will be inything farther about the matter. In the case of Ralph N. Adams plantiff vs. Robert E.

Thirty-five picked men, mounted, armed, and in full Kin Klnicregalia for both horse* and men, were selected for the cere mony, aud ordered to boldly parade through the streets of Nashville, writes the Kev. Thomas Dixon in the Metro politan. Tbe capitol was still in charge of 3.000 reconstruction militia and <f00 metropolitan police who had sworn to take every Ko Khix Klanaman dead or alive who dared to show him self abroad. Un the night appointed the squadron of thirty-five while and scarlet horsemen moved out of tbe woods and bore down upon tbe city. Tbe streets were soon crowded with people watching tbe strange procession of ghostlike figures. On tbe principal streets tbe police blew their whistles and darted here and tbsre in great excitement, but made no move to stop tbe dare-devil panders. On they rode np the hiU and passed the capitol, round which the camp* fires of a thousand soldier* burned brightly, and not a hand was lifted against them. They turned south into High street and ladies began to wave their handkerchiefs from win dows and men to shoot and cbeer from tbe sidewalks. The scalawag police received these about* with suppressed oaths. ax last tney Began to summon citizens to aid la the arrest of the clansmen. The citizens laughed at them. Chi reaching Broad street yonng Morton, who rode at the head of the squadron, observed a line of police drawn serosa the street with the evident intention of attempting to stop or arrest the riders. Turning to Marl N. Brown, gallant clansman, who rode by hi* side, Morton said: "What shall we do. Mart?" "Turn into Vine street." he quickly answered, "pass around them." •"No—ride straight through them without a change of gait!" was Morton’s order. And they did. The astonished police, dumfouoded at the insolence of the raiders, opened their lines and the borsmen rode slowly through without a word. They paaard a large frame building used as a carpet-bag militia armory. It was fall Pi negroes. Morton baited bis line of white figures, drew them op at dress parade, rode up to the door and knocked. . The negroes rnsbed to the doors and win dows, and when they saw in the bright moonlight the grim figures, they forgot the police and the 3,000 soldiers guarding NasheviUe. They made a unanimous break for the rear, and went out through every opening without knowledge of any obstruction. Many of them wore window sash home for collars. The clansmen silently wheeled again into double column and rode toward their old rendezvous. They had overthrown the carpet* bag negro regime and restored civilisation. Their last act was a warning. A handful of their men boldly slapped the face of icrc uuviiic auinonues Defort the new administration entered npon its work, and dared them , lift a band again. Outside tbe city they entered . tbe shadows of a forest. Down . its dim cathedral aisles, lit by ' trembling threads of moonbeams, | tbe white horsemen slowly wound their way to their ap pointed place. Par the last time , tbe chaplain led in prayer, tte 1 men disrobed, drew from each horse bis white mantle, opened a grave aad solemnly buried . tfarir regalia, sprinklingtfcefoldi . with |he ashes of tbe copy of [ their bunted ritual.

We trust that the committees will be able to se cure good teacben, those that love their profession and will do justice to their pupils and conn try instead of jost putting in the time for the money that Is in it. We hope that no commit teeman will select a teacher oa account of location or friendship but that they will select them for tbeir individual worth, and above all we hope they will get teachers with good manners so that they may be able to teach the younger generation bow to be prudent and good mannered as well as to educate them in books.
