Rain attain Sunday, and ttie farmers not up i with their work. It looks discouraging just j now. Judge.I. Fuller Lyon attended District Conference at Honea Path last week. Work will be resumed on the new school building this week, we learn. About a hundred thousand brick will then be ready for tne masous, and the work will be rapidly pushed Never in the history of the (i., C. N. Hailroad has there been "a jollier set of young people assembled at the depot. The bridal party with other triendsof Mr. and Mrs. .1. >1. La won escorted them to the 12 oVIock (midnight) train to bid them "(iod-speeu," ( and it. mav be the "steDDing-slones" were J;iid there that will safely guide some <>ilior young hearts across the river of Doubt, to ihe , beautiful snores ot Matrimony. If soft look*. , sweet smiles and low-whispered "nothings" are an indication, tlie prospects are good for the ringing of "the bolls." A number of the gentlemen tennis players ( spent the day at the park last Thursday, ltather hot, they say, but a good time any way. Miss Itclle Miller spent Sunday with her ( parents in Ninety-Six. The lecture by Prof. Craighead (subject "The Pre?s,") whs very tine and much enjoyed. ] Miss Leona Hlakcat the close of the lecture rendeied two instrumental pieces on-the piano which were highly appreciated. The proceedings of the Teachers's Institute J were very Interesting and also highly instructive notonlv to the teachers, but others, and , time spent in lectures and discussions well | invested.

Monday's political meeting was a failure in j this respect: Instead of bringing the two fac- | t ions of the Democratic party in this county | closer together, the sjulf that now divides \ them is widened and deepened. God help us when such is the Rud state of atlairs, when , Jriends and neighbors will cease to be such In the bitterness hf partisan strife. May the tune soon come when once more we will he , as In '"7C,"?one people with one cause, and peace and prosperity rule the country from ( mountain to sea. i Miss Sophia Tate, of Elberton, (ia., and Miss Susanna Heard of Middicton. tin., are | visiting the family of the Hon.

It is wrong to rest iti church. some miscreant broke into Jerome Bell's , smoke house last week and took all the provisions he could tind. A report is going toe rounds that the antis J liave raised a fund Sl.tMlO to bribe voters In this conntv. the Idea Is too absurb to be 1 noticed, but if a thousand dollars could be I raised for any purpose that would be easiest provided, their votes were for sale.

It was i tills preliminary vote which caused a split in | me of their clubs, but for whicii the public would never have known anything about Messrs. l'ope and .Sligh's third party talk in tu Alliance caucus. A Tillinanite friend and I were looking nver the announcements together a few days iince, he enquired who a certain condldate was, 1 replied that be was a clever man and ] fullj-competent tor i he office. My interrogator went out from my presence and as 1 have since learned, said to a group of other friends af his own persuasion "boys don't you vote lor that man. Kproles says be is a very clever fellow, etc," t lie fact is, be is one, and a leading Tillinanite in a remote section ol the county. Somebody's cook, most likely aunt Mattie, lias started the report that some white folks jo oil" in the summer to save expenses. It Is surprising what a lundof information cooks, wash women and nurses have. The Greenwood correspondent of the Register speaks of Mr. Talbert as "the native scal11 wag." I feel sure tli is was stronger language than be intended to use, especially as be essays, la the same communication to criticise ii gentleman for the use of hard names.
