Carson, the gifted ard popular editor of the Johnston News, has lain down his pen for other and more profitable pursuits. It required but a short time for him to learn that the life of a coun try editor, like that of Mr. Man tilini, is one "demd horrid grind", for which he receives but little compensation and less apprecia tion. The newspaper fraternity was loath to give up this brother, but believing that in our ranks ho would not have grown in this world's goods nor in the next world's grace we bid him God speed in his new field. Having said adieu to Mr. Carson we welcome his worthy successor, Mr. William Toney, into the craft and trust that his pillow will not be so hard as those of many "pencil pushers." ELMWOOD. Editor ADVERTISER: The weath er for the past few clays has beeu cool and windy, aud very unfavor able to plant growth. The greater portion of the area set apart for cotton has Leen planted. The grain crop is not looking well. Unfavorable weather, chinch bugs and other insects are causing it to look pale, reddish and un healthy. No corn has ap yet been planted. Tba destructive chinch bugs have played havoc with wheat and corn here for the last few years. Not more than one farmer in a dozen has beeu able to produce sufficient com for borne consumption on ac count of them. The health of this community is comparatively good. Labor is very 6carce and unre liable. Couutiy people cannot under stand why the laws of the towns are so lax as to permit so many able-bodied negroes to loaf and loi ter on their streets-a menace to the towns and a detriment to the country. Most of the towns are dependent upon the farmp for their existence, and the timi has now ar rived when they must lend a help ing hand in the manner above mentioned, or sustain a serious Joss. O. Elmwood, April 27,1903. Dear ADVERTISER: The com mencement exercises of the Parks ville High school wil begin May 14th. The programme has not yet been published but the princi pal informs me that the first ad dress is to be delivered by Dr. D. A. J. Bell; subject, "Education and good Citizenship". The sec ond by Rev. J. T. Miller; subject, "Education and Religion". The third by Col. W. J. Talbert; sub ject,wEducation and Government", after which will come the address of the day, by Col. M. F. Ansel, his subject being "Upward and Onward". The entertainment for that night will consist of charades, tableaux, etc. We cordially invite you, Mr. Editor, to be present and we will ?how you how Parksville enter tains. Our town was saddened by the death of Mrs. Mary E. Middleton, who has made her home for the pa?t eight years with her daugh ter, Mrs. D. A. J. Bell. Mrs. Mid dbton was paralyzed fifteen years ago by a fall and had been almost continualy confined to her bed ever since. She was a patient sufferer -?-never complained, and was al ways cheerful. She ?had learned the lessons of self-control, and Bet an example of amiability, self \ control and patience which is wor thy of emulation. Rev. J. T. Mil- ( 1er prayed at her funeral that the mantle of ber beautiful Christian character might fall upon her chil dren and grand children. She leaves four children,viz : Mrs. Mat tie Rich, Mr. P. C. Middleton,Mrs. L, G. Bell and Mrs. D. A. J. Bell. She was buried by the side of her husband at the residence of Mrs. R. H. Middleton, at Clark's Hill,Rev. J. T. Litilejohn conducting the fu neral services. The Methodists have been car rying ou a meetiug now for about ten days, and although no one has a8*yet united with the church, still great interest is being taken. Rev. W. P. Yarborough, the travelling evangelist and street preacher, is doing the preaching. He is certainly a very earnest, conie ciated man and we feel already that his coming has done a great deal of good. He is accompanied by his wife who aids by playing the organ and siDging. Rev. J. T. Littlejohn has been on the sick list, but is, I am glad to state, batter now. Dr. J. A. Dobey has been off on a visit to Aiken and other places, but he bas returned home now for a short while. We hear that he is soon to leave us and make Edge field his home. Mrs. W. J. Talbert is sick, but we hope she will soon be better. SCHOOL BOY. PLEASANT LANE. WRITTEN FOR LA9T WEEK. Asl sit and listen to th6 iing iugofthe merry little birds and the shrill notes of the plow boy'a some voice seems to whisper and remind me that it is time I must write to the dear old ADVERTISER again. The farmers are somewhat back ward in their farming, on account of the recent rains, but I think it is well they are since we ar<3 have ing so much cold weather. Very few around here have planted any cotton at all. Oats aie looking pretty, wheat is ruined by the "rust" Charming .Miss Belle Harting is visiting her sister (Mrs. Deal) in the Bethany section. The people of Berea were very much pleased with Prof. Coksr's talk last first Sunday. Hope he will visit us again. The remains of Mrs. Llewellyn Boone were laid to rest among the spreading oaks of Berea church on last Sunday morning at ll o'clock. Mrs. Boone, wethink, was about 73 years old. She leaves a devot ed husband, four daughters and three sons to mourn her loss. Our heartfelt spmpathy is extended to song this lovely spriDg morning, the bereaved ones. We have again organized a Sun day school at Berea and I truly hope all the young people will take more interest in it thau they did hpre-to-fore, and we can keep it up through the summer month?. I think the young mon think too much about going to se? their "best girl." I waB after some of them the other day and one said, "0 I have joined another school" .'No name, no blame." Why did he join that Sunday school," Mr. Editor; I. say it was because his "beet girl" goes there. Miss Bessie Padgett has returned home after a pleasant visit at Johnston and Edgefield. Orange blossoms in the Moun tain Creek section next Wednes day eveuiug, Mr. J. P. Timmerraau h??8 been on the sick list for several days but is able to be out again. Miss May Cothrau has returned home from Troy, wnere she his been atteuding school for several months past. "AMICUS". Death of a Johnston Citizen Again death has claimed another memb r of the greatly honored and once very large Bland family. Mr. Stanford Bland, the last vic tim of the Great Destroyer, passed away at the home of bis sister at Vidalia, Ga., on Friday last. He had been iu failing health for se veral years aud the end was not a surprise to his loved ones. This good citizen, kind neighbor and affectionate father will be seen on earth no more. His gentle wife preceded him by several years. The deceased is survived by two sisters, one brother and three bright little children. The remains were intersed in the cemetery at Johns ton on Saturday last. The dance given by the Cotillion club in the opera house on Friday evening last who attended to be the most delightful one that has been given in many months. Confederate Veterans' Kennion.
