He was in charge of Mrs. Canvile, who looks a great ieal younger, and who is much better booking than her husband, though infe husband is handsomer than most of the men around Level Land since -John T. Brynat left there. This was the first visit the Colonel made to the city since he relumed from the State of Texas, avhither he went some weercs ago to kindred. He tells us that Texas ^ f3r behind with the crop of cotton,1 . .. . ! -.r.ai on account ol the rains little act been planted, and wnat had been I-. ?ianted was being replanted. There -u-as time still to make a good crop," the knowing ones told him, but a', large crop is not probable with -i'.anting so late. It was raining every my while his party was there (though otherwise they found Texas painful-'j iy dry) and he didn't see where thte'j dOuds were likely to be punctured anytime soOn. But despite the bad crop outlook in that state, his kindred were glad \q see" the good people of South Car >iina. Colonel Carwile not only was | rr?cted by these but by the friends i of a quarter of a century ago made irlwn he was a resident of the State of Texas. Level Land, though, is still good ] enough for him. LOOKING FOR WALTER We thought it would happen. |j (Sirs. Smith, wife of our dis-j| iingaished fellow citizen and fish | j merchant, Col.

Smith called at the reliable j score of W. A.
