Who would have thought that Broth er Dees could accomplish so much in so short a time ? I think that some one who knows the man from Georgia who is build ing the road from Winnsboro to Simpson ought to go to him and ad vise him to change his name, just while he is in this county, as I un derstand that his name is Beckham. A change to Dishwater. Buzzardroost or just anything would be a lighter load to carry than Beckham. This community has the poorest prospect for a cotton crop that I have seen since Cornwallis passed through the neighborhood. A certain preacher was sitting by the roadside in his car a few days ago. Three or four bundles of oats were thrown in the car. The preach er soon began fingering in his hair and brought forth three boll weevils. Now the question arises, did they come out of the oats or were they bred where they were caught. At a banquet at the Jefferson some time ago this jcribe was called upon to temst Winnsboro, and not being acer tomed to speaking in public, on the impulse of the moment the fol icwing is,.1#Mthat he could think of: "Here is to grand old Winnsboro; may her glorious record of the past be surpassed in the future, as gen eration after generation succeed each other; but may she never, no never, produce another Red Gladden." While educational interests are at fever heat all over the State and else where and the papers are full of commencements, school closings. etc., 'would suggest that the trustees of Bethel school build a community house. Brother Warren Castles is too old a man to have tio ;stand tlhrough a three hour program, as we had to do th, other night. while I did not mind it myself. The local talent would be greatly developed by a. entertainment once a month on the order of what they had at the close of school and nothing less than a community house of huge proportions will accommodate that growing school and ever increasing population; and the populationi is indeed increasing. There can be seen beautiful little car riages on the porches of homes, where the cry of a hungry baby was never heard until recently. It is true some are less fortunate and have to apply to the bureau of babies in. OColumbia for that great comfort. ~They *are to be pitied, but praised. I wonder if those town folks are still eating cow peas. I often think of them when I am eating spring chicken and good old slavery-time blackberry pie with sugar in it. I heard a man say the other day that J. L. Robinson was a better neighbor than he was before he got his leg hurt. If that is true, it would be well enough for him to get the other one broken "smack" off if thy leg offend thee cut it off and cast it from thee. RIDGEWAY. (Received too late 'for last week's issue.)

Patience is the guardian of faith, the preserver of peace, the cherisher of love, the teacher of humility. Pa tience governs the flesh, strengthens the spirit sweetens the temper, sti fles anger, extingujshes envy, sub dues pride; bridles the tongue, re frains the hand, tramples upon temp tations, endures persecution, con summates martyrdom. Patience pro duces unity in the church, loyalty in the State, harmony in families and societies; comforts the poor and mod" erates the rich; makes us humble in prosperity, cheerful in adversity, unmoved in calamity and reproach; delights the faithful and invites the unbelieving; adorns the woman and improves the man; is beautiful in either sex and every age.-Selected.
