Happenings of Interest from Ocr Neighboring Town, \ The telegraphic announcement that Mr. Frank Payne had beta burned to death in Way ne* ville, N. C., was indeed a severe shock to our entire community. After the unfortunate tragedy of a month ago when this young man killed a negro, he deemed it best to leave the neighborhood until court con venad, wheu be intended return ing. During this time he has oc cupied a lucrative and responsi ble position until his death. The body was brought to this place Saturday afternoon and placed in our cemetery, a large number of friends and relatives being present. Deep sympathy is felt for his fam ily, all of whom are very mnch be loved. A little negro boy near here fell and broke his leg just above the knee. The District Conference of the W. C. T. U. was a success in every respect- Old members were newly enthused and new ones added to r number. Mrs. Unrah, of Ore goo, is a mott charming woman, and being National Organizer pos sesses a rare store of information Mrs. Haynes,bur Stale President, is a consecrated Christian and her good influence is felt by all with whom she comes in contact. Friday last way the day appoint ed for the school picnic. Lake View was selected as the place,and many went and enjoyed themselves hugely, while a number ?ere kept at home by the rain. We endorse Mrs. James White n condemning the practice of rais ng pigeons to be shot at for Bpoi t, Iso in her view, of tho beer gar dens. Our hope is in our young ts J' w. L res m boys and giris, and a Temperance and Audubon society should be in every community. If the grown people will not join gathor in the children. Our ladies are looking forward to the "high tea" to be given by Mr. C. F. Pechman in his parlor grocery on the 20th inst. "The proof of the pudding is in the eat ing" aud we know those fresh "but ter thins" to be delicious. The first ripe peach has been found, but unless we have more warm sunshine the early crop wi! be veiy inferior. Oats are showing some improve ment, but the crop is poor indeed. Cotton that is up looks red, and as it is a true sun plant more heat is necessary for its success.' Mrs. Porter Dorn and baby, of McCormick, will spend a month with the home-folks, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Lott. Mrs. Lizzie Smyley, after a visit to relatives here, will remain in Edgefield a few days before goiuf to Charlotte, N. C. She is accom panied by the baby, Jack Smyley, a bright and interesting boy of three years. Mr. James Watson's little boy swallowed a nail on Saturday. As yet it has done no harm. The recaption given Wedneaday afternoon at the residence of Mr. D. T. Ouzts was much enjoyed. The members of our town council and their wives and all known sympathizers in temperance work were invited, and during the two hours all wore the white ribbon. Delightful refreshments were serv ed on tattles beautified by flowers and handsome embroidered centre pieces CLARK'S HILL Dear ADVERTISER : The mer ry mouth of May with its birds and i?s flowers will soon be but memory of this grand old year,and then will come June, which bringe schools and colleges to au end all over this wide world. Our school commencement which we had a few weeks ago, gaye us a fine start for our library. Thp commencement was much better than all expected. The plays and recitations were most excellent. The childreu are to be congratu lated for the manner in which they r.cted their parts, and Mre. W. S. Middleton (oar teacher) whom we most heartily congratu late for the way in which she train Bd and managed the children, and more still for the good she has done for our school during the paBt vear. All is due.to her energy and ?kill. If every school in the coun ty had such a teacher as she, there svould be more eduoated men and women over our state. We hope to have her teach our school next session. I attended the commencement jxercises of the Parksville High school last week.
