Our school, taught by Misses Alma Williams and Jennie Cheatam, has 50 )r 60 scholars. Owing to the low price of cotton, there have been more oats planted than usual, and it seems that every, aody will plant a big corn crop, too. We are expecting to get a rural mail route from Cleora soon. It has already seen surveyed. If we can get a tele phone line from Edgefield, it will be a rreat convenience. Horse trading is the principal amuse-1 nent here, as well as everywhere else, hiring the winter months. Mr. Vance wrought a carload sometime ago. Blank Books.

He resided here until about 18 years ago, when he moved his family to Columbia. Maj. Tompkins possessed ?strong, vig orous mina and a robust body, eyen al most to the end, . It/Cau hardly be said that he was ill at all. He complained of being unwell for several days and gradually grew weaker until ? the end, life becoming extinct just as the taper burns out. Maj. Tompkins was in his ninetieth year and enjoyed the distinction of be ing the oldest surviving alumnus of the South Carolina university. It was the wont of the students and professors of the university to frequent his home in Columbia, plying him with questions concerning the early history ana former graduates of the institution. He will be greatly missed by the members of the univev ity family. Rev. R. N. Pratt, one of the Baptist pastors of Columbia, accompanied the relatives to Edgefield, and stated that during the past twelve years he had been very intimately associated with Major Tompkins ana that during this time he haa never heard him speak un kindly of anyone. On the contrary, he always had a kind word for everybody. Mr. Pratt also stated that Maj. Tomp kins realized that his race was nearly run, and was perfectly resigned. Mai. Tompkins was twice married, the children of his first marriage being D. H., J B. Tompkins and Mrs. Henri etta Carter. His second wife survives* him; also two daughters, Miss Julia P. Tompkins and Mrs. W. H. Walter, and two sons, L. S. and T. W. Tompkins. Among those who accompanied the remains from Columbia were Misses Isol?e Shaffer, Mattie 'May McIntyre, Mr. S. T. Carter, W. M.
