Mr .John MeManus and fatnilv
i
'/" of Waxhuw, visited his brother
" Saturday and Sunday at Van
, Wyek.
;/- We noticed several negroes under
tin* influence of strong drink
" Saturday and Sunday in our viliage,
which was an unusa' sight
here, as we are almost free from
such degradation. Some of the
spirits used was juice of the
j blackberry and some "Waxhaw
I Dispensary," which is as bad and
,r j mean as the South Carolina Chemi1
cally pure 11X, and will make a
\d man just as drunk and just as
io" big a fool as any other mean whist,
key. How mueh lietter it would
j tie if we could have prohibition
J and be free from the demon of
drink.
Mr Ragsdale and his corps of
surveyors struck our town last
j Friday evening, and are wending
their way through the Panhandle

its' There is an interesting revival
no meeting in progress at Van Wyck
ry church, 'which is well attended
le ard much interest manifested.
j
ve, I congratulate the Lancaster
?n Enterprise and its readers in hav'e:
ing secured a Van Wyck corres18
pondent, who has such a vivid
I a imagination an Mr "Bill Doolittie."
The readers of the Enter11?
prise will ind him very entertainQt*
ing, if they have a comprehensive
imagination, and as fertile concepa
tions as Mr Doolittlc. I am under
1D many obligations to him for his
06 gratuitous advertisement of my
a hav business. I hope to l?c able
to supply him ami other thriftless
:*r farmers, with corn and hay aext
*8 season, so they will not lie troubon
led in having it brought from the
west as they have been this yearIt
was fortunate that Mr Bill
Doolittle was old enough to name
Icq
himself, as he had the privilege
n< of choosing a very appropriate
" name.
iIQ
e In the meeting of the Van Wyck
. ' I^azv Club last Saturday afternoon,
be * .
"Optimus" was exj>elled from it,
on charges sustained, that he was
l>r a man of some business and ha<l
(l industrious propensities, which its
meml?ers thought would l>e do
ina t
. trimental to the welfare of the
icd
club. Mr Bill Doolittle was
unanimously elected president and
ri- * 1
delegate to its annual meeting, as
la1 was the most suitable person,
owing to his inclinations for doing
r SO little. ThilHO who L'nnu'
or
well, have been very much amused
at his feeble efforts, for the Inst
ten years, in trying to get nnir

ried, and are not intieli surprised
, at his doing so little towirds its

t consummation. Mr Doolittle is
HI not oceup) ing a very enviable
.j position. He ha<l better hurry
