A dignified Judge of one of the Courts of the County makes complaint of cer tain portions of the public road near the town of Newberry. The corpus of his honor got very much in the mud at this place in the road near Mr. Spehl's shops, just outside the city, as he was coming to town one night last week. The judge says the place in question 2 was presented by the grand jury at the l last term of the Court as needing re pairs, but nothing has as yet been done J in that direction. The matter is now referred to the County Commissioners.

Had she lived n the present age and favored us with sitting for one of those silent, life-like ortraits, with our fine scenery for a ack-ground, and unique accessories br relief, it would have saved her the atire of even the mirthful Monms, as he picture would have been an im >rovement on the original, without the ioise.

Our farmers are all busily engaged now putting down fertilizers. The sweet fragrance of blooming flowers reminds us of the coming spring. Rev. C. A. Marks, of Prosperity, was visiting amongst his members in this community last week. The cold wave struck this community the early part of last week, and ice was in abundance. Some of our fruit proph ets say that the recent cold snap has in jured the fruit crop considerably. It seems that Easter comes a little early this year, only about. ten days off yet. To-morrow one week is said to be a good time to plant watermelons (Good Friday). Our farmers should not forget the day and try their luck. Mr. Charley Ringer and wife, of near Pomaria, spent Saturday night and Sunday with relatives in this commu nity. A lightning rod agent canvassed this community last week, and we learn he attached a lightning protector to sever al dwellings. Mr. Eddie S. Werts and Mr. John A. Werts, of Saluda, were visiting relatives and friends in this community last week. Some of our farmers have commenced planting corn. We learn that Mr. Jacob B. Bedenbaugh, of the St. Pauls' com munity has already planted a big por tion of his corn crop. Plant corn, sow wheat and oats, plant peas and raise your own meat, then you can say I live at home and board at the same place. Oh! that all of our farmers could say this. Practice the above advice, mixed with plenty of economy and you will succeed. The Herald and News reaches us every Thursday, and we assure the kind Editors that it is highly apprecia ted. We esteem The Herald and News as one amongst the best county news papers published. Mr. J. S. Werts has been elected over seer on the public road leading from Mr. Henry Kibler's residence out to the Columbia road. Mr. Drayton B. Cook served as overseer on the above named road last year. The Excelsior school has been closed for a short while, as the teacher, Mrs. W. S. Birge, has been on a brief vis it to relatives at Greenville. Last Sunday night we had the pleas ure of listening to an able address de livered to the Prosperity Y. M. C. A. in Grace (Lutheran) church by Rev. J. L. Stokes, of Newberry, from the subject "Safety."1 Rev. Stokes is an able speaker and his discourse was in deed very interesting. Reports tell us that our chum still continues courting. There is a creek running between his place of abode and his girl's residence and reports say that a short time ago as he was on his way to see his girl and coming to this creek found it swollen to such a depth that it was impossible to cross, by waiting until the wee late hours of the night. So our chum sat there on his horse grieving over the sad occur rence until he was reminded of the por tion of scripture that reads thus: "Oh! that I had the wings of a dove", and added to this, saying," then would I fly over this high water and see my girl, but the condition I'm now placed in, I will have to return back home." So our chum returned back home and toiled away another long six days work and pursued his journey again, being this time successful in his undertaking, and we learn since, that our chum is now as happy as a June bug in the hot month of August.
