U-, Qet. 9r?With 1 \ permission will endeavor to give won a few dot* from our prognnsirc little town. We heartily approve of the scheme Qf the Union Gil k Manufacturing | Company to j*et th<5 pfeople of this iohnty to plant wheat. Farmers diversify your crops, it is your only i Vi?nr>A to orpf. nut. of ilpht. This vpjir ? e,- j ? | proves that it pays to plant little co ton. Why plant large crops of cotton and get five cap (a, *fien we can pUrat ohfy half ci-op of cotton and get Us much for as large crap? flfcere will bo a larger amount of wheat sowed In this secti.n this Fall than ever before. We have a first class roller mill here, which turns out a purer flour than are the flours which are shipped in here from other States. The mill is a blessing to she co'minunity, and Mrps. JT. L- McWlprtcr Co. descive much credit for it. | suppose the yarn mill is to be built l.ere if jumors are correct. This will a hi much to our hustling town. We have two first-class ginneries wh'ch me running on full time. S:ill tnother paying enterprise is the Hosiery Mill which is seeding out its product to all parts of the United Statcfc, and turning its money loose among our people. Our merchants tejl us that their trade has |)een good al| fhe year found, hej'ond their expectationsThey anticipato a heavy tradt this fall, which has already begun. Our town is noted for its cheapness ol' merchandise. The expense of running a ttore is not so great as in a i ^ t ..?ii larger piaee, ucuuc iuc auwujr ?-u ocu cheaper, Jonesville boasts of as ccod business houses as any in the*; flinty. Among them wo name j. L.-McWhiker k Co., who carry a j large stock of general merchandise, wsgons, buggies, machinery, fertili*<rs, mules, horses, etc. They have in connection with their mer^ pantile buaineen an up to-date gin tfy, 3 l|ret-cliv?s roller $ill apd a livery stable. They are also cotton buyers. Next we mention the J. J. Littlejohu Co., who carry a large stock of general merchandise, furniiute, wagons, buggies, machinery, etc. Mr. J. F. A'man, who moved here from Kolton a fow years ago, carries womplete line of dry goods, notions, clothing, shoes, heavy groceries, hardware, wagons and buggias, and in fact almost everything found in a an jro' National Bank]* ion, h. c. | $GO,000 $ r>o;ooo i 00,000 J $170,000 | W. IT. Wallace, Wm. Jeffries, i , E. P. McKiasick ,*A. II. Foster, ? four Business. J * first class s'orc. Messrs. It. W. Scott & Co. als ! carry a stock of general merchandisr Mr. Sam Littiejohn carries a hear lino of licavy and fincy grc eerier but has recently a ided shoes to hi stock. Messrs. Williams Tiros, carry a com plete stock of groceries, hardware stationery, and school books, Mrs. C. Fowler carries a line o groceries, confectioneries, notions T. (i. Mtacham & Co. have j stock of millinery, notions, cto. Mr. D. li. Free, Jr. has recently opened up a stock of heavy aud fan33 groceries. Messrs. Harris & Foster carry t first-class furniture and music stock, also collins and caskets. Messrs. O'Shield* & WLitlock alsr carry a stock of coffins. So now you see, Mr. ?dito-, our town is quite a business pluec. We have been reading "In Ilis Steps" and pronounce it grand. 1 only w'sh that every mm, worn in and child could read it. llev. J. G. Farr preached an able sermon in the Methodist church yesterday morning. Mr. Jam38 filled his appointment in the Presbyterian church vo*f^rH?u afternoon. lie will continue to preach several nights. There is sonic sickness in t>wn. Dr. ll. K. Be&rden has g)nc to Chicago to tike a special course in medicine. Dr. Beardon has only been with us a few months but he his won many friends. IJe returns next spring to resuuis his practice. It has been rumored that Jones ville is to have an up-to-date h ?tel. Wo hope this is tri^e fey if a must keep abreast of tho times and the demands of the public. Mr. W. E. Alman is building several houses for the operatives of the knitting mill. If this doe* not f^nd the wasto basket wc will come again. ' Black Bill." W. A: DycUo?i Whalley, S. C, write* j Have used Dr. M. A.

O ?e dealer sold me Zsilin'a. saying it was the same, but I will uot be fooled again, Jonesville JotUnQa, Jonesville, Oct. l)th.?The cloud* have disappeared and the weather is warm and lovely, and everybody is busy this fine day. ?0130 farmers jost most q'f their pea vinos by the lato frost, while others lost none. Cotton picking is well advanoed, in fact the gathering of the cotton crop this fall is a small matter, but when when we come to consider the labor saved in a short crop and the difference in price this fall as compared with last fall and then the ady^nce als'in the cotton seed, tho farmer ha? i:? .1- i..:!.. _r- _n wm utile t'> u'Jiiij>uiiii ui auor an. it seems now, to hoar farmers talking, that there will be a greal deal more wheat put in this fall than usual and also other small grain. The factory or rather yarn mill for .Joncijvilip is progressing well and it seems now to fee an assured fact. Rev. John G. Farr preaohcd foi llov. K. II. Beckham at the Metbo dist ohurch yesterday morning. Itev. Reckham was rather unwell and no able to fill his pulpit. Rev. A. A. Jamas commenced i protracted meeting of a few days a {he Presbyterian church yesterda\ ovoning. Rev. Mr. llurwell is ex pected to assist in tho meeting an< the Rev. I)r. Thomson, of Atlanta is announced to lecture on the Ob servnnce of tho Sabbath ia the Pro both ia his new ginnery j ast put Uf this summer so that his customer): cfln have choice of either, but so fai they have all taken the square bile and it don't seem now that the round bale is in it this season at least. The idea was that round bdss were to bring about cen's a hundred pounds more tli ttt the square halo, which would of course more than 1- - ' - luuite up i^r the extra charge of packing the round bale, but this pian hasn't materialized in Joncsville yet, ^ so we will see what we will see.

Tho pastor (Itev. D. C. Freeman) is being assisted by Itev. r J. D.
