Utile Elm Grange N*. 181*
Jnly 27, 1876.
BXtortReview:
The abore named Grange is situated
on Little Elm creek, six miles north
of Harrisville, Bell county. It is com
posed of per* ever in a people, whose
attentions are','turned to raising corn
wheat, oats, hogs, Ac.
Our farmers have attained to
1 proper orisis to disoern the grand dif-
fer enoe between scientific and m>soien
tifie farming. They have ascertained
the faot that the results obtained from
the former plan of farming far exoeeds
that of the latter, and being Grangers
in prinoiple, they have adopted the
former style of farming.
While new farms are being put in
cultivation, additions being made to
'the old ones, and old houses torn down
and new and substantial ones beim
-created in iheir stead, and while al
necessary improvements to beautify
and make homes comfortable and
pleasant are being made, they are not
entirely neglecting literature. They
• are sending their children to school at
the school house near the Grange
Ball, wheré there has beep a school in
operation for five months, and is yet
in a prosperous condition—very likely
there will be a standing school in this
community.
The fodder being taken off the corn,
gives us a fair. view, and when we
come to a close examination we find it
to be excellent. The cotton crop is
small in acreage, but large in size, and
well filled. The refreshing rains that
have just fallen make us rest easy as
to cotton and corn. The potato crop
isas good as could be wished, and
everything else in the way of produce
is -very promising.
The weather is warm and sultry, the
thermometer being up at 104 in the
shade. . L.
A few days .ago Mr. H. C. Surgh-
nor showded us a copy of the Pennsyl-
vania Paekett -or (he /General Advertiseri
published it} Philadelphia July 8,1776.
The following is -a oopy of an adver-
tisement it contained

cowf and calvef, at which time and
'plaoe the conditicfnf Of "fole will be
'made known.
There is a youth in this city who fa
Undoubtedly preparing himself for
some grand ooeaaion. It -is told
that he is frequently discovered
ih a neighboring grove, addressing an
aged live-oak in a vehement manner,
and his delivery is said to have
been of such an earnest nature
that many a lifeless leaf mournfully
sought the ground to rise *no 'more.
However, as among his wreck of words
something about "love" was distin
guished, some young lady will probs
'ably have the benefit of his discourse.
We trust she will secure a copy for
publication.
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever,"
is a maxim no less trite and true for
the age, and has been practically ex>
emplified in the unprecedented sale of
"Bryant's Library of Poetry and Song."
Mr. L. ¡B. Hendren, the agent, has
quite an appreciation of the refine*
ment and culture of the nitizens of
Belton, as eyidenced in the purchase
of something like 50 copies of this
truly gem-like oóllation, which could
not fail but to elicit the applause and
patronage of the most fastidious con.-,
noisseur, as there can be n? possible
skepticism Where so much of genuine
excellence exists.
The. directors of Chamberlin Insti-
stute met a few days since and elected
« new Board of Trustees consisting of
the following members: B. D. Lee,
E. F. Lee, E. JpT. Fay, J. T. Boberts
and J. J. Robertson. Prof. W. H
Robert waa elected principal for the
raining year. It is unnecessary to
state the school bidar&ir to be even
inore prosperous in the future than it
has been in the past. -We -have been
requested to state that this sohool hat
no connectionwhatever with any oth-
er school, and any impression -to the
contrary is erroneous.
Camps of despair each hour he finds—
They keep him agonising—
And when he yearns for kindred minds,
All prove unsympathising.
A frown from her he deeply loves
Puts his soft heart to breaking;
If sweet love's dream, most bitter proves
The anguish of awaking. .
