We said, "No; why do you ask?" "Because, it' the wasp builds hi-" nest low to the ground there will be no fieshets this ycai\and if be builds it lu'gh are sirre fo have high water, 8o<3?!5Jt I drt not intend to"plant any crop on the low lands until I first see where the wasp is building his nest."

Bradford, wholesale paper ripnifr of unnttanooga. i enn., writes that lie was seriously afflicted with a severe cold that settled on his lnngs and had tried many remedies without benefit. Being induced to try Dr. King's Xew Discovery for Consumption, did so and was entirely cured hy use of a few bottles. Since which time he has used it, in his family for all Coughs and Colds with best results. This is the experience of thousands whose lives have been saved by this Wonderful Discovery. A Failure. The railroad meeting which was announced to take place at Rabon's X Road8 in West Wateree on last Thursday was a failure. Not more than two or three persons tnrned out.. Wp understand that Mr. Julius XTilla nf Olioatof nhn 11 at. t.Vio hporl of the Chester & Camden R. R., was in the neighborhood, but ho did not get to the X roads. From what we can gather, we think the people over there are anxious for the road to -be built, and even talk as if they were willing to vote for a subscription in aid of it. They will probably have a chance to-voteon the question, si|3 then we will see what they will do. A. Family Reunion, One of the happiest events of .the kind we have ever attended was the family reunion at(japt.JU H. reeoies twelve miles east of Cnmden, on last Friday. It was the 89th birthday of Mrs. Lewis Peebles, widow of the late Lewis Peebles, and it was determined by the elder members that they would celebrate it by having as many of her descendents present as possible All of those who were near enough, or who could come, were present, but quite a number are residents of other States?living in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and Virginia.1 In all she has 197 descendents, of whom 107 were present at the gathering on last Friday, and a finer looking, or more healthy assemblage of people could not be fonnd. There was not a delicate looking person in the crowd, and they are all nnrabered among the most reliable and substantial c tizens of this and adjoining counties. Her dependents are as follows, by families: Mrs. M. ?!. Holland with 5 children. 22 grand-children, 2 greatgrandchildren ?30. .Mrs S. E.

About 1 o'clock the call to dinner was announced and tt was a sight worth beholding to see the long table ("weighted down with all the substantial and luxuries of the season) with the old lady at the head and five generations of decondents nrranged on either side.

The mocking birds are singing as sweetly as if it were May. Move rain this week, and it, rM.ards farming operations considerably. Some of our farmers are busily engaged in planting their early corn. A pretty severe shock of earthqunke was felt, in Camden at about 2:15 o'clock on last Fr'day night Rev Henry Ward Beecher, probably the greatest preacher in America, died in Brooklyn, N.

PEEK, Frnp'r Harlwell N'nrseries, Hart well, On. | "I See It! I See It!" A laboring roan leaving a saloon saw a costly carriage and a pair of horses standing in front, occupied fix two ladies elegantly attired, conversing with the proprietor. As it rolled away lie said to the dealer: ''Whose establishment is that?" "It is mine," said the dealer, complacently. "It cost a t' ousand dollars. My wife and daughters cannot do Withcnt it.." The mechanic bowed his lie-id i i thought. Then with the energy of a man suddenly aroused, j he said: "i see it J I see it!" "See what?" inquired the dealer. 'See whereiny wages have?one! I helped to p<iy for that carnage; for those -l i ?1J L..JI norses; aun cunt goju-mouMieu uainess; for the silks, laces, and jewelry of your family.

ThiB is the fastest housebuilding we have yet heard of. , There is no place in the world -J where woman rises to emergencies of rrust and vespons bilitv more effl- . ciently or frequently than in our broad V'es ern country. One of our business men was asked recently: "Why do yoq employ Mi?a for yonr pnsr? Can vou set her service | for less than von would have to pay I a man?" "No," said lie, "I chose her because I know I can depend upon her to return eich rooming refreshed nod ready for business, while i man in the same position is more than likely to spend his evenings far into the eight in dissipation that wholly unfits hira for the morrow's ] dutifs"?Ex. i ? Bill Nye Invites a IHichigander to Come to North Carolina.* A Michigan man who is poor bnt honest, with a wife and one child, writes to Bill Nye to inqnira about a home in North Carolina, and is answered thus by the humorist, through the New York World: "Come to North Carolina and you will never regret it. It is a land flowing with milk, honey and tar. Tt is full of health, climate and smoking tobacco. It will do yon good to come here and livn till vnn nrtnallv orpt . ? J ?J pv" tired of it. "It if? so extremely conductive to health here that people grow an enormous heights Evtn Mie preachers crow to be over six feet high here. "Relative to the chances for a poor-, man in this country, where I now remain, that being my principal business, I will say irTn cursory way that poverty is not regarded as a violation of the statutes here in North Car^lino. People have lived here for years in abject poverty right under the nose of tho grand jury. So yon need not stay away on that account. Moreover, the poor people of the North Carolina mountains are a thousand fold more contented than the people of the North. If a man must he poor all his life what can l?e of more use to bin: than contentment? That is the great difference between Northern and Southern poverty. "So come any time I will be at the train wlmn you arrive. Would it annoy yon if I were to bring the band down to the depot with me? We have a very fair all-round band here, composed of self made colored men who play in a chaste and nnoonstrained way that will not frighten you much if you are used to loud snorts of melancholy. The members nf this band have now perfected themselves to such an extent that they play right along just an fluently without their leader, and while he up ends his horn to pour out the juice they take up the air and carry it along in such a way that yon conld ant miss the leader, and they embellish all their music and improvise so mnch that you oonW not tell what tune they were plAying. Still, I will ju6t eft yon nay ahbnt tbs !>and down at the depot when you some." Bill Nye. Good Girls. While wanderincr nnd lectnr\,f* in Mississippi Bill Arp put npr at, a model hotel, in the town of Newton, where he paid his hill with supreme satisfaction. He thus talks: "I sav i model country hotel?the best I have ever found, for all the writ is lone by pretty daughters, and it is iono merrily and neatly, and the rare was jnst splendid. They are not ashamed to help their good pnrents make a living:. They are smart. and pretty and well behaved. ( How gladly wonld T welcome them as my daughter-in-law, for I would then know Lhnt my bovs were safe. ( Safe from want and safe from social 1 roily." The fgrtersville philosopher is ] right. but how to get one's boys to fancy model girls of that pattern is the difficulty.
