An Interesting Sermon by Rev. Sam T. Creech. Mr. II. T. Scott, a former citizen of this community, who now lives nearCannon's camp ground in Spartauburg county, is visiting relatives and friends in this section. Mrs. Scott accompanied him. It has been twelve years sines we met and be shows |that time has dealt kindly with him. He is a noble christian hearted man with an unyielding faith in God's promises. Mrs. Carrie Inman was called to the 1 bedside of her mother, Mrs. Julia A. Kendrick, who has since died at her home in Gaffney City. Mrs. Kendrick has mauy warm friends in this community who mourn her death. She was a woman of exemplary chiistian character. !

The recent id spell of weather caused the seed to it in the ground, and quite a number ' our farmers are already replanting. Mr. E. W. Jeter, of Santuc, brought i a sample of the Jeter corn which is >out as finely developed ear of corn as o have seen. Mr, Jeter says it is very -olific and it has been grown in this mnty about one hundred years. The rains are extra long and well developed, Mr. Geo.

A shooting occurred over about Monclt Mills Sunday but no one was iHonaly hurt.

But we do occasionally slip uPride for a short breathing spell. )on't stay away so long next time as to ail to reoognlM our han<V$ap features fben ypu run hfafyst itk. church. Rev. S. T. Creech preached a 1 plain, practical, common sense sermon 1 (if such a term is a suitable description ofii). The subj-ct was complaining aud 1 discontentment with the providence of ' God. LI is text, Acts 5:9. The speaker ' dealt with every phase of life and pro- I fession among men where this weakness J creeps out so manifestly. Not a single * one of them escaped his attention, and to 1 use a common expression "he handled them with gloves off." Discontentment at God's providences is rebellion against IIis authority. He advised his hearers to watch the chronic fault Qnder for it is a sure sign of his own moral deprevity. The man who thinks everybody dishonest , will best bear watching himself. The spirit of commercialism is doing ; a great injury to the cause of Christ. * Officers a id members of the church can't take time from their secular duties . to attend upon the ordinances of the . Lord's house, and the work of flaying up treasures upon earth to satisfy the lusts of the flesh are attended to ra tlier j than that which pt rtains to our eternal welfare. In a spirit of brotherly love , with him it is we Methodists, we r. Baptists, we Presbyterians, we factory people, we country people, we town peo- . pie, we merchants, we farmers, we v doctors, we lawyers, we mechanics, etc, because he felt he was in a measure identiQed with them all. When he spoke of a man he meant a man, not a dudish upstart, but a man who was a man aud v uhvvf linnn hia PAnvintinna nf rinrhf un/1 UVWU U^VU tJ?U Wtl flVUV/IIU Wt. tlgliv UIJU ^ wrong. A religion that was not based (> on brotherly love was a miserable make _ shift. The man who apologetioally says . If you are over in ray neighborhood come over and see roe, doesn't want you * to come, and that is the best way he has v to tell you ao. If he had a sou who ^ didn't have sense enought to make a . farmer' he would put him to studying . law or some other professiou. A man ' to be a successful farmer must ba be a . man of God, who can trust the storm . and the sunshine, the rain and the , drouth, the cold and the heat. All must, be submitted to the sovereign will and pleasure of God the maker an i preserver of all things in order to obtain the best results. He didn't wish the farmers before him to think that he thought t hey a vara nvnnnt.inna f/i tho ownar^l ruin nr that they were successful in this respect p for they were not, they were among the most violent grumblers on earth and couldn't agree among themselves or any thing to suit all of them. If he would go out there and call a meeting of the u tamers to find out what each one wanted tJ he would find that A wanted rain on Monday, B on Tuesday, C on Wedues- , day, D on Thursday and so on, and had he the power to giant any of their wishes he must displease six of them to . pleaseTone. This is the outgrowth of our not trusting God to manage his own affairs. The man who has no confidence j in himself has no confidence in God. If we will only do our duty to our- \ selves and to our God He will bring 1 order out of confusion and in the end p all will be peace. Vox. p ? < i THE OIL FEVER IN TEXAS. A Very Interesting News Letter From the Far West by our Regular Correspondent Editor Times:?I know you have heard time and again of the oil fields at , Beaumount, Texas. Oil was found (j there recently and I understand from ,,, people who have lately returned from T there that there is lots of it. The oil n craze has hit Texas and has hit it haid a too. Everybody is talking oil. Com- ii pany aiter company Has oven orgamz-u si for the purpose of developing the hithei to a undiscovered oil fields in the State. A n strong idea of speculation is growing in a the minds of the average Texan, and in {( that line the said Texan from Dan to "I Beersheba is hustling. lie goes to Beau mount, lie goes to Corsecana. he w goes hither and lie goes thither to find ^ I thai Bonanza which he shall never see j perhaps or realise In the oil business. I opine that many men right hero in this t( sunny clime is as much excited and as fl wild as the stock Jobber ou Wall Stieet k when he is playing a losing game w ith T fickle fortune. No doubt there are ai others who are calmer aud cooler ?ho ei see in their mind's eye a veritable oil e: fountain in Texas which shall exc ad nil n others ami that bye and bye a great cam- c< pany slrnll be organized to manipulate this fountain which shall force the C Standard Oil Coni|>any to pale into in- n significance. I fear such ideas will cause many a man to loose his hard earned cash in a vain attempt to make a fortune without an effort on his part. To give y iwuw mnt or wiuti ins peopie are doing In this direction, X will tell you that as jt many as one hundred aud thirty seven p oil companies have applied to Secretai y 0i of State at A1^" for charters to do c< business in Texas within 100 days with gi a capital of over forty-two million dol- f< lars. 1 oopv herewith part of an ad- d vertisement of one of the companies: aj "The Merchant's Oil Company, Beau- ai mount, Texas. Authorize capital $.">00- d 000, in one dollar non-assessable shaies v Offers to investors 150,000 of their stock ^ at the rate of 50 cents per share." 01 Then go onto show their holdings in real estate and a list of the stock holders 1 who reside at Beaumont, Gaveston aud T1 Crawley, Texas.* 5; McCrujnaaea Brothers, of Paris. TeX'ft?, sold a few days ago part of 550 \ aoies of latid near Beaumont for a round . fine Hupdijd tbftWMtfl <*$**? ^100,000), ^ l^ast year, as I have mentioned in there letters a'ready, was a veiy prosperous >ear for the faimers in this section. 'l"l?in prosperity was brought about in a measure l?y a diversification of crops helped to a preat extent by pood prices prevailing. With \ view io diversification again this year, last fall a preat dial of wheat was planted, and in February the usual amount of land was sown in oats. Everything seemed to be tnovinp along nicely until about three weeks ago green bugs made their appearance in central and north Texas which have ravaged the wheat crop to a great extent and the oat crop is just about destroyed. If I were to tell you the oat fields in this section looked as if a fire had burnt over them you could hardly realize such a thing, but such a scene is what they practically present to the view, caused hir ?l.n n..Ab: ?7 Kiccn uuK3 cntiuK ?uu oui;ikiii^ the plants. The like of which has never been seen or heard of before. It is a ojreat disaster indeed, almost "a calamity to the section of the State visited by lh?-se little pests. Men usually write about everything that happens, they have written and are itill writing about the green bugs. What ins been said so far has been mostly irosaic. yes, very prosaic, but one genleman down at Deuton the other day >roke forth in a poetic strain, and I lerewith reproduce his production. "The green bugs get our wheat, The June bugs get our honey, The red bngs get our tough old shins And the gold bugs get our money." This may create a smile when you ead it and doubtless you will catch the un out of the last line, but sir, if you ived in Texas on the black waxy land ou would laugh when you reached the hird line in this poetical effusion. I lose this paragraph by saying the green nigs have done incalcuable damage to o ihe oat crop. Col. A. II. Belo, one of the proprietors f the Galveston-Dallas News, died at i8Qevii:e, in. c, April ltttb, Ho was ne of the progressive men of this State, lis death is a misfortune for Texas, 'he papers he controlled and founded were potent factors in the upbuilding of he State. Ic is said of him that his watchwords were "progress,'' "liberlity," '*inde|?endence," "fairdealing," 11 of which was demonstrated in the onduct of his newsjupers. Col. Bclo wis a native of North Carolina. He was born, reared and educated in that itate. His home was at Salem. He ame to Texas some time in the 00's and ion thereafter engaged in the newspaper usiness. It is needless for me to tell ou he succeeded in his chosen profession. Col. JamesQ. Chenowetli, of this city, who was first auditor of the treasuiy uring the first Cleveland administraiou, and for a number of yeais county udge of Ifaunin county lias embarked [i the newspaper business here in Bonam. Col. Chenoweth has associated imself with Mr. J. M. Terry, who was lie editor and proprietor of the daily and weekly Fannin Favorite. Col. Chenoweth is a fine lawyer and a fluent orator nd I am happy to say I number him mong my best friends, and I am glad he as decided to enter the journalistic eld where he can and will make the ower of his fauile pen felt. Bonham will have another railroad ion. The road will come from Denieon ito Bonham, a distance of twentv-eiirht liles, aud is to be built with Bnnham nd Denison capital.
