So are we of the south t The farther removed he is from us the better we like him and doubt less were he to take up his abode on St. Helena or Pat mos we would learn to think very kindly of him. WONDERS never cease. The board of Super intendents of New York's schools has taken "Uncle Tom's Cabin" from the school libraries. It has required 40 years for them to find out what the Southern people dis covered in 40 days-that the book is unworthy of a place in any librar}*. JOHNSTON. Happenings of Interest from Our Neighboring Town, Tho Methodist Missionary Dis trict conference of this place will long be remembered as a very pleasant reunion of the various churches. All churches were rep resented by most charming wom . on. Many visitors attended the meetings. *Oui own Mrs. Ivey in a most excellent way delivered the address of welcome. Mrs.Humbert, a tall, stately youthful looking wo man with snowy hair, conducted the meetings in a forcible manner. Miss Sanders, just three weeks from China, charmed every one by hereusy, graceful demeanor. Mrs. Ed Strother and Miss Lizzie Bates, of Batesburg, are too well known, and beloved to need any assur ance of the warm welcome that awaits them at all times at this "place. All visitors received a cor rdial welcome? arjL^ the acception' given them at the residence of Mr. D. T. Ouzts was a success in ev ery respect. The mingling together of missionary women from all churches was enjoyed to the ut most. The three ministers and jur worthy host seemed a little bit lost in such a bevy of fair women. Dainty refreshments were served by lovely girls, and all seemed loath to leave even after the limit had passed. There will be a District confer ence of the W. C. T. U. at this place in the near future, and we hope the same enthusiasm may prevail, as temperance work is home missionary work in its truest sense. Mr. Alvin Etheredge visited our town during the week. Mr. and Mrs. James Long and their lovely little baby spent Sat urday hero with relatives, and the >; treat of fish was enjoyed inexpres sibly. The oil mill has closed its sea son's grind in a most satisfactory way to the stockholders. Consid erable improvements will be made during the- summer months and next seed season bids fair to be an . improvement upon the ono just passed. * CLARI'S HILL. Dear ADVERTISER : News is very abundant this week, but I fear that I am too sleepy just now to jot it down as I would like to. Very little planting has been done here as yet, being delayed by the cold, but the weather is much warmer now, so farmers will be quite busy this week. Peaches are now safe from the cold. There will be more than .was at first expected-about three fourths of a crop. % Our telegraph operator, Mr. J.T. Dowling, left last week to accept a position at his old home, Hamp ton. We regretted very much to see him leavo. His place here has been filled by Mr. Arthur Town send, of Iva. Our school entertainment was quite a succese. A very large __jcrowd attended, Edgefield, Sumter, Modoc, Morgana and other towns being represented. Our handsome County Superintendent of Educa tion Wm. A. Byrd, of Edgefield. gave a very eloquent address,which was enjoyed by all. We are going to have our school library. Mrs". R. C. Boyd, of th* "Fork ' section, is visiting at the home of her sister, Mrs. R. H. Scott, on Cheviot bill. Dr. J. H. Hayneswortb.of Sum ter, is visiting at the home of Capt. J.A.Butler. Miases Irene Scott, and Carrie Morgan, of toe "Fork" ^section, visited relatives and friends here last week. Mr. Tbeo. Price of Aiken, visit ed at Capt. J. A. Butler's la6t week. It seems we are going to lose 8-jme of our charming young ladies soon. It is very easy to give up old bachelor, but my, we can't give up our girls. Some of the boys here are quite jea'ousof thoir visiting rivals. Wei?, ''Sol", one of our oldest bachelors has left us and has taken uuto himself a*wife. More will follow his good example soon, I think. I ara tired and sleepy too EO I will ring off. INC0GNITU8. Clark's Hil!, May 2.
