VAN WYCK ITEMS. Mr. Editor: After ton days! h settee I am back at Van Wyckj ad lind many changes have taken laeo in this short time. Thoj 'ain! *r'> brush has brightened up lit* town. The merchants have lied their stores with fall goods, 'lie dry hot weather lias caused tatty cotton shapes to fall oil", . nd at some places the lleeev laple is ready for the pickers, , nd is 1 icing gathered bv many rilling hands. The beaux and dies have been attending pro-) raeted meetings, much to their | wn hearts delight. Tito senate- I iul election has been iptietly held, rith McLaurin in the - lead and Nans behind and many other: linages and tilings generally happening, too numerous to mention. Mr I'M IXavenport and family j nvc moved back to Monroe, and ' It* Williamson and family from landy River, have moved into) lie house vacated by Mr Davenort. Mr Williamson has charge s foreman on Section No 3 of the I (' cV N R R. We welcome this ititiily to our village. Mr Heath Statutes and family f Osceola, have moved to our illage. Mr Staines has a posiion on the Railroad section here. Miss Blanche Stewart has reirned to her home at Hock 11 ill. he was accompanied by her nnt, Mrs Sallic Stewart, who. ill spend sometime at Hock Hill , ltd other places.

They re- j oved buggy taps, cut harness, I id untied horses and many oth-. shameful annoyances were! jrpetrated.
