Smith for the timely attention paid a piece of road east of town that was in such a condition as to make the heart of man fail upon reaching it as well as i the strength of the willing beasts of i burden. This dig-out or mud hole has been the scene of many a wordy warfare and actual combat between driver and team. 1 learn through Mr. Wylie, whose home is situated on top of the hill above this place, that for the past week it has been a common ; occurrence to hear entertainments down there that would lust for one I and two hours, lie did not mention , whether the vocal performance was edifying or otherwise; the reader , must judge. Farmers have complained that tl cv would leave town with but half leads because of this place; but ( farm vork was so dreadfully behind. ( to use the phraseology of the fanner, (to me it seemed most of lite work was ahead of them, yet to be done) that they hadn't time to work the road. , However, no! withstanding last week was the first week of this year in which farm work was uninterrupted j by the weather, on Saturday Mr. Smith left oll'all other work and devoted the time to the worst "had place" ( between Peav's Ferry and AVinnsboro. , Many thanks.

Health of the Neighborhood. j Messrs. Editors: Your correspond- ~ % ? j ents from all sections of the county | have reported the progress made by {the farmers during the beautiful I xl._ SaI. wuaiuer wuu wmui ?u ua>v blessed. Just as the land was getting too hard to plow, we were favored with a refreshing rain, which will prove of inestimable benefit to young corn, of which there is aa excellent stand; the cotton, which ha? been planted, and backward gardens. Our gardens are beginning to males quite a respectable show, and despite the discouragement of a few week* ago, we may reasonably hope for vegetables in abundance in the course of a few weeks. We regrof. to announce the serious indisposition of Mrs. Thomas 11. Lyles, though happily, she is now improving. The dear old lady is as energetic as slie -was forty-fire years of age, and it seems an utter impossibility for her to realize that the infirmities of age hare overtaken her, and it is only when her over-taxed strength gives way that she is forced to succumb. The tribute from a Texas paper to P. P. Pearson was a beautiful one and well deserved. Old Fairfield should be proud of her son. He left this county in 1878 with nothing save his brains and indomitable will. If suc; cess is the true test of merit, no one will deny him tae glorious fulness of its measure, and he made numberless ? friends in Texas and was appreciated. Of his friends here, Mr. A. E. Davis was unswerving in his kind interest and affection, one who had perfect confidence in his ability to make :i success of life. Cut down in the prime of manhood, he is universally re gretted. We tender our most heartfelt sympathy to his stricken widow and fatherless little girls, and from the depths of greiving hearts say, "May he rest in peace." We were shocked and grieAed beyond expression to learn of the dcaiii of Miss Maria Haynsworth. Duriug . an intimacy of many years, we ever found her an unfailing, affectior.at?, sympathizing friend. She was one of the most pleasant, intelligent ladies we have ever knowu. Nearly thirteen years ago her brother lost his *\ iff, leaving two baby boys. Eeward was under three years of age and Herbert an infant of six weeks. Dear Miss Maria took charge of those motherless children, and what a wealth of affection she bestowed upon them. N.? mother could have been more solicitous regarding their welfare, more constant and devoted in attention. Wo are all familiar with the circumstance* under which those dear little bo\*3 were bereft of the tender love of" a devoted father. Many remarked, "What a blessing that Miss Maria is a, mother to the boys; they will never be wanting in the most tender solicitude." Now their second mother lias been taken, and the loss is irreparable* To all of the stricken ones we offer sympathy, yet feel that only time can soften their grief. Years ago wl-eu our hearts were riven by anguish, dear Miss Maria offered us the sympathy of her loving heart. She was an eseainl<ir\*_ consistent member of the Bat> list Church. and will be sorely missed. There are anguished aching hearts everywhere, and if it were not lor ;ha hope" of a blessed reunion beyond, rha bravest might despair. Miss Lena Pearson has been quite sick for the past week. Dr. Provence has been, and is stiil quite indisposed, though he has not failed to go to the suffering sick when ? calied upon. Bnt we must bring this communication to a close, lest its destination proves to be the waste basket. More anon. c. a. s. Anril 24. 1891. Children Cry for Pitcher's ^Castoria. HYMENEAL.
