A. c Sanders was a most delightful entertainment. From four till six the parlors of tbelr hosplta- e ble home were filled by friends who, despite the cold and wind, turned out to pay tbelr re- t specis to the happy young couple. I We heard the other day that one farmer bad p purchased already over $400 worth of peavine, c crab grass and clover bay this season, which t he used in feeding his cattte, horses and i, mules on bis farm. This seems to be a large amount for consumption on one farm, but we t believe tbe estimate to be true, and still tbe ( winter 18 not more man nan gone, war es- 0 perlence leaches us that the months of March i and April aretbe most critical months of the year, as far as the care of stock Is concerned. Mr. H. J. Klnard's advice to Texas farmers was a very readably article. We hope be will frequently contribute. East End. DUE WEST. A Good Word for the C'onniy Snpervi- a sor?Gold?Music?Pretty Women. 1 Due West, 8. C., Feb. 25, 1896. c All of our people who have been to Abbe- ? vllle within a week past are praising the con- 8 iltlon of the road. This improvement is >wlng In part to the dry weather, but mainly to the work that has been done on It. Let the Supervisor have the praise he deserves. While on the subject of our county officials r iiir? maiia nnnther RUMrestlon that I xiuy be of service to a worthy class. It is well mown that the School Commissioner ol this * :ounty does Dot have money to pay the teachers' salaries promptly during the last nonths >f the scholastic year. Would It not be a rood idea to borrow the money at a fair rate k >i interest and pay the teacbeis' salaries n whenever they become due? The salaries are imall enough anyhow and are made smaller ^ >y the present delay. This would not suit tbe c nooey sharks, but would be greatly to the ac- i sommodatlon of the teachers. The course of the New York World In break- c ng up tbe syndicate that bad been organized 0 .ograb tbe gold bonds at a big profit to Wall a Street and turning it into a popular loan is 8 >ne of tbe best Illustrations of the power of p :he press that has been seen for many years j, n this country. Several millions of dollais ? ,vere thus saved to tbe government, and an- i )tber thing saved was a repetition of the ugly 0 icandal of tbe bond sale ot February, 1895. Last evening we had tbe pleasure of listenng to Gill Thomas, tbe musical phenomenon. Ele Is great. He opened bis entertainment with a melodyon three Instruments, followng that up until he closed with a grand march on six instruments. Besides playing >n six instruments at the same time he Is a jood soloist, and has a number of new songs. Dr. J. J. Lindsay has moved to Due West md will practice his profession.
