The pretty weather continues ^
and our people are very luisv.? j
They eoinplain of then corn lands t
heiiij; very dry and hard which
makes i* dillieult to prepaie them
well for the important crop. How.
ever, they will not let this dillitMilty
hinder them in putting in h
lsifil** crop of nu ll. A good many
of them have already learned that
there is more money made in tifty
rent eorn than in live ecnt cotton.
Ang'ers have been disturbing
the "tinny tribes'- ii Twelve Mile

and perches changed abode.
Mr and Mrs .1 M Smith of Waxhaw,
spent last Tuesday with
relatives and friends at, and near
Van Wyck. They visited their
old home, and rested their eyes
for awhile on the many familiar
objects surrounding it. They are
well pleased with Waxhaw and
speak highly of the kiml and generous
citizens of our neighboring
growing city.
.Madam Humor has circulated a
prophecy that directly interests
some of our young people. She
says wedding hells are to ring
soon. Deaths, lights and mar*
riages furnish news for us,hut we
arc not anxious to write anything
of the two former, hut we will
not object to writing up the latter 1
if you will give us the opportunity.
We may not he a very good 1
writer in reporting these affairs 1
hut we are a capital hand in sum- j
pling cake and turkey am' used 1
to have lovely dreams over wed- 1

Mrs Optimus has had us taking ;
exercise in the flower and vegetu- 1
bio gardens several days this week. '
Sin- n ade mil agreeable compro- 1
inise with us on this kind of work. !
For several months we have been | ^
without a milkman and the barn '
y:ii" 1 tnd three cows have been '
turned over to us. Mrs Optimus
said that if we would help with
the flowers and garden, she would i 1
help us with the cows. Now, one 1
of these cows tries to have a little |
tun out of us by tickling us with
her heels and giving us an occasional
milk shower hath. Mrs.
Optimus's presence will, perhaps,
have a very henelicial effect upon
us in one of these trying ordeals,
and may keep us from falling (
from frrace. Oi'TiMi's. (

began about the kitchen and the t
family had barely more than *
enough time to escape. General ^
Hampton, being feeble, was car-j

volumes were lost, valuable per
