Grain Injured. Farmers Back ward. Plum Branch Steadi ly Growing. Account of Re-union at Aiken. We are at this writing having some March weather and we fear the cold weather and the dry com bined, will not be good for the oat orop. I can see the effects on the early oats, and the late sowing ie needing rain. We had a light show er yesterday but not enongh to do any good, as the wind followed it, and it does not show to-day. Our farmers are as backward or worse, than last year, but we are still hope ful that the weather and conditions will improve in the near future. Our town is in the swim and I think I oan say in the lead-not ex actly on a boom, but continues to advance. Lots are being bought and sold every few days and plans are being arranged to build this sum mer. The health of our town is good. There is some sickness out of town. Mrs. Hampton Parks was taken to the hospital last week to be operated upon and last accounts were that she was doing well. Mr. Len Lyon6 was also taken to the hospital for an operation to be performed last Wednesday night and at the last accounts he was get ting on nicely. Mr. James Adams is up and able to go out in town and we hope to see him as stout as for merly. Uncle Jimmy thinks he can work when he is well but like some others of us old fellows, he must know the old saying "Once a man, twice a child." We have past the meridian and must submit to na ture's call.Sit down under the shade trees and rest ?nd meditate and le thankful that the good Lord has been good to us, and the one great question comes up, 1 what have we done to merit these three score and fifteen years and still the promise of more days." We the old soldiers went to Aiken and had a good time. I did and every one that I met appeared to enjoy the meeting and especially the hospitality of the people of Aiken. They fed bountifully and furnished sleeping to all that applied. There was one unpleasant incident. One of the old soldiers wa? run down by an automobile driven by a lady and I heard that he died Wednesday night. We' heard several good speeches. Among the speakers was the Hon. John C. Sheppard. He was orator of the day and gave us one of his good talks, such an one as he is able to give. Yes and Coley was there with body guard rigged out with their paraphernalia which I muBt admit did not create any ex citement of note. Yes Coley made a short talk and very appropriate with a little touch of politics but nothing to mar the occasion. The occasion as I look at it, is solemn and really is a sacred occasion. Ihe oldmen are passing away and soon there will not be one to celebrate the re-union, only the sons and daughters. They should every year mwet to celebrate and perpetuate the memory of their fathers. There was one thing that was noticed by some of us and that is there was no drinking or drunkenness anywhere among the old soldiers or any one else.It has been said that old soldiers at the re-uuion some times would get drunk. I am happy to say there was none of them drunk at Aiken. 1 did not see them, and it was not because they could not get the whin key. Tho dispensary was eloBed and 1 give tbe people of Aiken credit for closing it. I did not see a mau druuk the two days I was in the city. I was anxious to have a talk with the governor and deny .o him th?t the information given about J. R. Bodie saying that he would not vote at the general election, for if ho did he would have to vote for Cole L. blease and that he had rather vote for a negro than Blease. Mr. Bodie did vote at the general election and he did not make tho remark, and 1 know J. R. Bodie and am more tha.? satist?ed that he did not say anything like it. I am here to say thai it is a falsehood out of the whole cloth, and I am here to say that any man that will maliciously lie will su-al, if il was not for fear of the law. The parties who started it are spotted aud the most of our people know them. 1 have learned fi oin a reliable source that one ot the parlies so designated did say that Mr. Budie made the remark. Now which of the three informed the governor? That will out sooner or later. Don Carlos. Plum Branch, S. C. Treat your eyes fairly. Do not deny them the help of a pair of glasses if they need it. Remember you will need them for a long time. Geo. F. Mirna. Miss Lillian Fitzmaurice Will be Married in Columbia this Evening. An event in which muoh of the social interest of the season centers will be the marriage of Miss Johann na Lillian Fitzmaurice, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Fitzmaurice, and Dr. William MacIntyre of Savan nah, Wednesday evening at the home of the bride's parents on Lau rel street.

Coughs and cold when neglected, always lead to serious trouble of the lungs. The wisest thing io do when jyouhavea cold that troubles you lis to get a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery. You will get relief from the first dose, and finally the cough will disappear. O ll Brown, of Muscadine, Ala., writes: "My wife was down in hod willi an obstinate cough, and I honestly believe bad it not been for Dr. King's New Discovery, she would not be living to-day." Known for forty-three years as the best remedy for coughs and colds. Price 50c and jil.00. Recommended by Penn & Holstein, W E Lynch ? Co. HOW PAINT. The first cost of a good job of paint-Devoe-is $50 (average size, of course). The first oost of a sec ond or third or fourth rate job, ?55 to 8100. The wear is likewise. The better you paint, of com se, the longer it wears. And the more you pay for your job, the shorter it wears! Devoe is one of a dozen gond paints. There are hundreds of bad ones. As likely as not, Devoe is the only good one in this town. Stew art & Kernaghan Sills it. For farm wagons there is noth ing better made in this country than the celebrated Studebaker wagons.
