Green lias got a good start, but tut farmers seem to be in good heart and working hard to gain the battle. We have been visited recently by several hail stonns, but did not d? very much harm to crops in our neighborhood. Rock Creek Sunday School gave a rm locf Snfinvlfl'r tllft 13th. UlLt V*4 J which was enjoyed by every one that went. Also ice cream and lemonade were served for the benefit of the church and foreign missions. Mr. Hunt, from the mountains of North Carolina, must seem to think corn juice is in demand from the frequent visits he makes. outlook jvor so pleasast at vt.raxaxt's.y Crops Injured by Itaias, Except Upland Corn. j. e. b.

We cannot expect anything more than little cotton and large grass, but if rain ceases for awhile they can kill a great deal ?f old Gen. Green's army which is the talk from every side, saving that it is doing more harm than anything else. Oats are rerr good, tkat is fall oats; spring oats is not very good, only on the creeks, and they are generally ruined from high water. We have been having a great deal of Jheary rains which washed the land very badly. March and first April corn is looking fine; the rainy -weather is great on it. "While it does harm in some respect it does good in another, but we prefer the one that does the most good. If the majority of crops was corn, why it would be preferred to hare plenty of rain, but as it is cotton and corn needed, ?Te want the weather mixed. Some to suit cotton andjjpgte corn, but we take it as we tffirerpf it and as well l?e satisfied. W-~ ^ , 3g3g^^ YOUR BALL. ] J. n. t. j I can't come to your bail, since we parted. 1 have thought of it more every day, And indeed 1 am half broken-hearted At being compelled to stay 'way. Ah ! , well do I remember, And so tenderly love to recall, That engagement of ours last September, For this coming eventful fall Fotnl fancv brings back to my slumbers Our walks on the old railroad, And echoes the musical numbers From the duets we used to explode I know the romance, since it's over, 'Twas idle, or worse to recall; For they tell me that you've been a rover And have wholly forgotten this fall. Once my heart in high rapture wa> beating. Now it tolls a sad funeral knell, For I've iust beard about your late meet ing With tnat facinating city swell. T?A*w fArrtAffinor U WUI1UC1 JUU uvn The engagement you made last fall; A village lad is quite upsetting To a belle like you at a ball. You have trifled and flirted with many; You've forgotten the when and the how; There was one you liked better than any; Perhaps you've forgotten him now. Time treads o'er the graves of affection: Sweet honey is turned into gill; Perhaps you liare no recollection Of a promise to marry this fall. I I am hasty, perhaps, in believing Those rumors that have late flown to me, And perchance you have not been deceiving, And 'twill end, after all, "on dit." But of those you lemember most newly, Of those who delight or enthrall, None loved you a quarter so truly As one who'll not be at the ball. Your letter justhere! sweetly laden : But, , it conies a liU'e late, For your rival, that other maiden, IIvs insisted on naming a date. I I reprtt the eDistle miscarried, And this fate must o'eryou befall; But really I am soon to be married, And theiefore can't come to your ball. WIIITE OAK SFLIST8.

Th? heaviest rain lell I ever saw. Land washed that never washed before; ditches and terraces washed down; land torn to pieces in general. It hss been impossible to do anything in farm work for the last few days. Some farmers talk of plowing np their cotton and planting the land in corn. I never saw labor as scarce in my life. It is impossible to get c?tton chopped. Corn is the finest I ever saw for the time of year. Grain is being harvested with a good yield. Mr. S. C. Broom has a line garden. {Ic has a hundred and fifty white head cabbages. Little Siminie, son of J. M. Duulap, was thrown from a horse and seriously hurt; one rib broken and braises. Messrs. RaUon and Broom cut a bee tree and received seventy-five pounds of fine honey. Urf. Hood, who in visiting Her daughter in this section is very sick.

Crops?A Joint Stock Company?Abundance of Berries?Congressman Shell and Baccarat. r. Jenkixsville, June 20.?Special: The last week has been hot and dry enough to kill grass which has been plentiful, most of the crops though | have been cleaned. Cotton has not1 been as backward in several years, besides bad stands make its outlook rather bad. Corn is receiving more than usual attention. The crop already planted is much larger than that of last year. Considerable amount of peas are being eown. A very valuable crop that so many farmers neglect. The pea crop in my estimation could he oo imnorffttiru* as UiaVQ KJ1 Ui Uiw-'b HO KIUVU ?? an oat crop. Oats were only tolerably good. No wheat sown. Gardens real jrood. There is only a light crop of peaches. Berries abundant. Mr. Darid Crosby was around last week in the iuterest of the Alliance. The Alliance has net been doing so well at this place for the last rear or so ?n account of the tidal ware in politico. There was an agent around recently selling a right lo makt a patent fence made of wire and slats. A joint stock company was organized to bur and sell the right for this township. Dr. J. G. McMeeki.i was puc in the east and Mr. C. D. Chappell was called to the secretary's desk. Will the Herald gire us the follow ing information: Is Congressman Shell in favor of the sub-treasury bill, and how is the game of baccarat played? [Recently we have seen uo utterances by Congressman Shell on the sub-treasury. During tne Congressional canvass he favored the general scheme. but thought present bill should be modified. We can't define bis position definitely, for we have never seen j where he has done so himself. The J game of baccarat is merely the English variation of onr American Vantoon, where the drawer endeavors to supplement the hand which was dealt him by drawing other cards, the aggregated strength not to exceed twentyone. The party holding twenty-one or nearest wins the pool. Those who in the draw get more than twenty-one "burst."?Eds.] COLUMBIA FEMALE COLLEGE. Mr. R. II.

Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. A MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. The living graduates of the Medical College of South Carolina are endeavoring to organize into an association and hare sent out a circular to the alumni, of which the following- is a copy. Dear Doctor?As an Alumnus of the "Medical College of the State of South Carolina," I know that you will take a deep iiitereet in the (flbrts now being made by onr Faculty, in the interest of higher Medical education. Recent discoveries in the various departments of Medicine, demand greater precision in our modes of instruction. Esnecially is this the case in the study of iEiioiogy, or the causation of Disease. To meet the increased demand frr more prolonged instruction, thr 'eim has been made one of three ?. urnpulsory Courses of Lecture-. This has been done upon our oivn responsibility, ihe majority of Southern Colleges uot yet having determined upon this importaut etep. We ask your interested co-operation. It is intended to organize our Living Graduates inte an Aseociation to * 1 ' ? ~ 4 I. aft A nn/\A*Ati Atl r\ ? tKfl D6 Known us uie ' tv^unwiuii u> ms Alumni of the Medical College of the State of South Carolina." its object being to create a feeling of unity among its members, to be shaped for our general good; to incite renewed interest in our profession; and for the purpose of enchaining our sj'mpathies and interest, the establishing of a Lab- ; nrsitorv. to be known as the Labora tory of the Alnrani of the Medical College of the State of South Carolina. '' This to be devoted to instruction in Biology, Pathology and Bacteriology. To be under the direct control of the Faculty ef the "Medical College of the < State of South Carolina," who will pledge themselves to furnish, it per- ; petuitv, qaarters for the Laboratory < within the Cellege: and to foster and T 4 - ' * I preserve me jjaooraiory ujus iduuucu by her sons, for the glory of onr honored Alir.a Mater, and the good of coming generations. It is proposed to place the fee for life membership at five (5) dollar?, i The f#es fo collected to form the fund frrnnrl mir Tjaboratorv. i The Association to be governed by : its officers independent of the faculty of the College. Its committees to ex- ; ercise {.reper vigilance and oversight i for the general good of its Laboratory. , Personally, it vill ?erve you in this way; that for no "urther fee you can at any time enter upon a Laboratory Couise of study. Or, you may at any i time present specimens, such as tumors, ?fcc., for exact diagnosis, free of charge. < A TOUT'S MUSE. i I Our reporter when looking around for news on Wednesday came across a piecc of poetry, of which the following is a copy. Tiie author is not known. but he must certainly be tlie Poet Laureate of the Rinir: The feaions have been sadly off. And nature seems quite ioth To help tlie plants ana other stnfl", First wet then cold then dro'th. But recently the rain have come, And now it is quite warm; Perhaps 'twill help the cotton some Ami liven up the farm. Ot' godliness thore seems a dearth, _ And faith r.nd hope decline; rroiessor xoiten savs uie eanu Must end in ninety-nine. Ilis prophecy no doubt is true, At least with with many men; It may be so with you and me, But Tolteri knows not when. For many men have tried before,. Of every age and clime, To tell us when 'twould all be o'er, But missed it every time.

X'lM POllTK. i - \\'A JL>lx"khj%.\i7, ouiic X'j.?cj'bviui. !i v have had a super-abundance of rain within the last fortnight, accompanied by hail and very terrific thunder and lightning. Crops were much injured, but wc arc thankful to say there was | no loss of life. Some of the farmers * will have to replant their corn crop, and we have heard of one farmer who will replace his cotton crop with corn, as it was so badly damaged by hail that it would not profit him to leave it. "Wheat and oat cutting have been in progress for several days, and, notwithstanding the storms, are good. Our housekeepers are beginning- to enjoy their Irish potato and bean crops. The gardens generally are very much injured by the hail, and will hare to be replanted" in a great measure. The ladies of liock Creek Baptist church wishing to repair their building, resolved to give an ice cream festival on the church ground on Saturday, the loth inst. Although the morning was threatening, they met promptly ] about ten o'clock, in the school house", and were soon as ''busy as bees," with the needed preparations.; Soon old Sol chased away the clouds,' and the day became a typical picnic day. By eleven o'clock quite a large crowd naa conecieu, aim ucam and lemonade were in demand. A stand had been erected under the oaks for dispensing lemonade, with Messrs. Counts and Willcs in chargc, while Mrs. Lvles, Mrs. Ederin?tou, Mrs. Wilts, Mrs. Counts, Mrs. Subjr and Mrs. Feaster kept Misses Bessie Lyles, Fannie Wilts, Augusta Salver and Iva Clowney busy supplying their quests with ice cream and cake. The thanhs of the ladies are due and are hereby tendered to all who attended and so liberally patronized the occasion. They realized about $28 for their worthy object. About one o'clock the baskets were opened and contents spread upon the table that had been erected in the yard, and all were invited to partake of the dinner, and L hope no one went away hungry, for there was surely "plenty and "to spare." r After dinner the young people re- 7 pared to the church where they were treated to some <;ood music by Misses Hicks and McMaster. It was a matter n.f .-nfrpot fhp nastnr. liev. B. P. I Estes. who bad expected to make an address iu the morninsr, was, owing to illness, unable to carry out his part of , the programme: there was, however, 1 a short service of prayer and song conducted by Deacons Wilks and James. 1 hope it is not too late to speak of my impressions gleaned at the centennial of South Carolina's noble son, i Gen. Wade Hampton. Unfortunately ilia speaker's stand was too far away for the crowd collected on the porch of the main building at the fairground ? f lo hear much of his address. yett t< look upon his face, so full of magne tism, was a privilege, and I realize! thit there stood a "gentleman of to old school,'' worthy of the love an< confidence of his countrymen. Th burst of enthusiasm that greeted hi appearance among the veterans wa inspiring. God bless and spare th< old hero long to he a model to th< jouth of the land. The health of our community i tolerably good. Mrs. T. M. Lvles am Mrs. C. Ladd are improving. Blackberries aie beginning to ripen and our houiekeepers will soon b busy canning and preseiving.
