The officers of the county Fair have again made the mistake of putting me on the Farm and Field Products Committee after I had told them I did not wish the hcnored position. I want to resign, quit, get out, any old way so as not to serve for it is hard work and I am opposed to hard work, or work of any kind, but we are in it and if we can do anything, in any way, that will advance the interests of the far mers and at the same time make a good county fair, we should be willing to do all we could, and even more. I am writing, particularly and mainly to the Farm and Field Products committee to state that I have not called you together because I think we are all in the grass-I know I am: are you? I would be glad for the com mittee to all meet at the court house on July 5th and organize so as to get busy as soon as pos sible. Right now is the time to begin preparing for a good fair. If you see a good piece of wheat, rye, oats or barley, get the own er to save a few nice bundles, or a bushel, for the fair. Get your neighbors interested. Get something to show from as many as possible. Get your friends interested, and last, but not least, get interested yourself, et- busy, talk up the fair. You (an do a lot of good right now if you will say Pickens County Fair, and say it plain, and mean it, and keep saying it everyday until we get organized July the Be sure and come to Pickens July 5th, at 11 a. m. and meet me at the court house, prepar-e to work for the best fair Pickens county will ever have. A. M. Morris, Chn., Comn. Johnson- Roper An event, brilliant and beau tiful in every detail, was the' wedding at the Methodist church Wednesday evening of Miss uargart Ellis Johnson and Dr.~ Lawrence Roper, of Pickens, S. C. The church decorations were in white and pink and this idea was artistically carried out. The chancel rail was trans formed into a hedge of lovely green, studded with many lights and on each side was a grace ful arch of green filled with numbers of lights. Suspended just over the bridal couple was a magnificent wedding bell of white and pink roses. The maid-of-honor, Miss Mamie McRee, preceded the bride, who entered with her brother, Mr. Albert S. Johnson, and was met at the alter by the groom with his best man, Mr. Lee A. Roper. The ceremony was impressively performed by Rev. J. F. Davis, the bride's pastor. Dr. and Mrs. Roper left at nine, Wednesday evening, for Pickens, S. C., where they will make their future home. The bride as Miss Maggie Johnson, was universally loved. With her bright, winning dis position she was charming and attractive in every way. Dr. Roper is a graduate of the Southern Dental College and is establishing an excellent prac tice in Pickens. He has num bers of friends here, where he formerly practiced. The many handsome bridal presents received attested the popularity of these two young people.-The Oconee Enterprise, Watkinsville, Ga., June 11.

Hazel News Mr. Editor: I will give you a few dots from our burg. Health of our community is very g ood at this writing. This section was visited on the 30th ult., by a heavy rain, hail and wind storm. The rain washed the land considerably and the hail (lid much damage to the crops, and gardens. Some say they saw hail stones as large as dollars. The timber was beaten up severely. Some say the water streams were the highest they have been in five years. A narrow wind and rain storm passed over this section on the 9th of last October that was the worst we ever knew. We do not know where it commen ced nor where it ende'd, but it passed just above Hazel, crossed over Big Pink Mountain and right on over the Nine Times road almost uprooting every tree large and small, in its course. Its width was about 100 yards and we don't know how long it lasted. We have always heard it said that April 1st was "all Fools day" but I think all the people got fooled April the 6th. in going to the show at Pickens, but we do not believe the sbowmen were to blame at all, somebody else is liable to get fooled. That jolly good fellow, Mr. M. KP (Tup) Hester spent one night last week at Mr. Ddniel Win chester's. Mr. Daniel Winchester sold to the Pickens Cotton Mill seven teen bales of cotton on the 28th lt., for tenl Cnts a pounid. He vs cotton will go up now just as'wn as the people finds out he hasod his. Married at Mr. J. N. Gilstrap's brother of the groom, Mr. Jahue S. (Mage) Gilstrap to Miss Dora D. Powell. The groom is the youngest son of Mr. John. A. Gilstrap and a promising young man, and the bride is the eldest daughter of Rev. James. N. Pow ell and is very lovely young lady. The happy young couple have the best wishes of their many friends. The ceremony was per formed by A. T. Winchester N. P. Mr. A. T. W. says that any one wanting the life-time knot tied, can find him ready and waiting to do the tieing. Mar ried at Henry Morton's father of the bride, Mr. Davis Chappel to Miss Carrie Morton, Rev. W. 0. Halcombe officiating. The little infant of Mrs. G. W. Nelson has been very sick, and has been under the care of Dr. J. A Cannon, but is better at this writing. A couple of little children of Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Winchester have been right sick for the past few days. The three days protracted rain has held farming up. Rev. W. J. Sheriff filled his regular appointment at Antioch Baptist church last second Sun day, preaching a very impressive and instructive sermon to a very large and attentive congrega tion. After sermon the Lord's Supper was administered. Rev. B. F. Murphree filled his regular appointment at Holly Springs Baptist church last 3rd Sunday in spite of the rainy, gloomy, weather. There was a good crowd out to hear him, and as every one knows that has ever heard Rev. B. F. the con gregation was treated to a grand sermon. Mr. M. D. Cantrell received a severe blow on the side of the abdomen some time ago, from the "kick" of plow handle, and has been suffering a great deal from it but is better now. J. R. Meece, a saw mill man had the misfortune to lose his house and all of its contents by fire, except two chairs, about a month ago. It is supposed to have caught from the stove. He says his loss is about $500. The second quarterly confer ence of the North Pickens circuit was to have been held at New Friendship Methodist church last Saturday and Sunday, but on account of so much rain it was a very small attendence. We learned later that the Presiding Elder was sick too. 'Will close for this time by say ing hurrah for the Pickens Coun ty Fair this fall. Mountian Sprout. Death of Mrs. Roswell Hill Mrs. Roswell Hill died at her home in Pickens county May 28, at the age of 66, with cancer of the stomach. She was confined to her bed for three weeks, she bore her suffering patiently. She was a member of the Methodist church for forty years. She was a true christian, a devoted wife and a loving step-mother. She lived with her husband five years when he preceded her to the grave twenty years ago, then she moved back to her old home with her sisters, Misses Frankie and Rachel, and brother Thomas Powers, near the Oco nee line. All who knew this dear one loved her because she possessed such a kind and-loving disposi Her face was as sunshine in my home, I lived with her and I can say I never met one so con genial. I know of whom I speak. We extend our heart felt sym pathy to the bereaved family. Her remains were laid to rest in the family burying ground the following day. Mother thou was't mild and lovely, gentle as the sum mer breeze, Pleasant as the air of the even ing as it floats among the trees. Thou no more will join our number Thou no more our songs shall know, Yet again we hope to meet thee Where sad partings shall be no more, Then in heaven we hope to greet thee Where our songs forever shall be.
