Tank presents a picture worthy . , .... ... .1 u painter ? admiration this lovely morning, for mother nature, has, elaborately robed the lulls in a new suit of rich green, which fairly sparkles like costly diamonds after so refreshing ft rain. The atmosphere has been well drenched of its great store of dust and our lungs inhale the genuine, purenir, which enlivens our.drooping spirits. While the weather is somewhat cooler, jet the dear, little fans must work from early 'till late, or, as the saying runs, "we might melt." Their day of I res will come in the near future, when "King Winter" marches his prim face to the front. A little musical entertainment was giyen at Mrs. Frank Greens, a few nights since, in honor of Miss Hello Mcllwnin, who was visiting them. Tank was represented and reports a pleasant occasion. Miss Nellie Green, who has hcon attending school in North Carolina, is at home again for the vacation. Dr. J K Massey paid us a tiying trip for the purpose of gathering ferns, from the dell, to present to some of his town friends. He still clings to voutbful activity, as he does to the limbs, when climbing a magnolia tree. A certain young man, who frequently visits our neighborhood, has lost the job of bringing his best girl immense buckets of butter milk, as she is now in the possession of a cow. Hut other excuses present themselves, such as, escorting her in a black Worry hunt, for pies, ol which he is quite fond. Ther*. are certainly various things to give as presents, for instance, a young lady received a tiny couter from one of the boys and another a pet squirrel. One of our ''little grown up" young men presented quite a laughable picture the other day. In carrying water to the tie Id hands, ^as suddenly shocked, by a loud peal of thunder, which caused him to give a loud yell, and drop the bucket, and at the j same time, take a tumble in the sand. A veiy pale lad was soon eon retracing his steps to the i spring. And isn't it strunge that another of our young men, and with a mustache too, has a shadow n > larger than your thumb, following him all day long. Mrs. C II Kagsdale and Miss Maggie have both been quite sick but they are up again. Two of our old colored aunties, Bettio Culbert and Ilager , who were faithful servants, died within too weeks of each other, both being up in eighty or ninety years. They leave a good example of character, well worthy the consideration of their race. . The farm work is on a boom, grass fast going to its doom. Lookout soon for a cotton bloom. A mono The Hills. June 10, 1899. | For The Ledger. Dwight Items. Mr. Editor:?The recent rains have wonderfully revived the spirits of our farmers as well as the crops. There has recently been considerable corn planted in this vicinity on lands that had previously been too dry and hard. Miss Crete Hilton, a charming young lady from Longsville, is visiting relatives and friends in this neighborhood. The voung people of Dwight gave a sociable at Buford school house on the afternoon of Saturday, 10th instant. Nearly all of the young people of the neighborhood turned out, and all present seemed to greatly enjoy the occasion. The time was spent in social chat, playing croquet, marble, and baseball ? In fact the young people of Dwight always enjoy themselves when together. They are not only pretty, handsome, and clever, but, above all, they are good. The boys not only love the girls, but love each other; they also love and honor thenparents, and they enjoy the love and confidence of their parents, lie it said to the credit of tho young people of this neighborhood that there is scarcely a tobacco or snufT user among them, or u young man that can be induced to drink whiskey. They are interested in themselves and in each other, and a great many of them are ambitious for an education. Many of the parents are fully alive as to the importance of giving their children up-to-date educational advantages; and besides they at e an energetic, clever, andgererous, people. Taking all these things into consideration, we can only predict a bright future for I)wight. A number of the young men of this neighliorhood are puraii ing courses of home study under the American Correspondence Normal. They are well pleased with their courses and are making nice progress. Dear reader, if you have made some progress up the ladder of life do not h?ok upon those with scorn or indifference, that are on the rounds below, but if you discern their heart-strength failing, if you perceive that they are loosing courage, and, in dispair, are loosing their hold on the last J : OUR CONTRACT wmu With the hill c Remnants of Liovi We've received Yards.

Well Mr. Editor, as well as in j many other excellencies we think Dwight is fully up to date in rats. ?Early in the spring Mr. J. II. j Thompson, Supt. Education, was alarmed by what he thought to he thieves breaking into his corncrib: grabbing his breech loader he rushed out followed by others s*vtl with a lump. ? On reaching the ,'u' . . don< crib hu failed to see the expected thieves, but upon opening the door they were amazed to see an 50 < almost incredible number of huge 'Ea rats turning auiuersuults over the corn and scampering around the I walls, blinded by the light of the lamp.

And a few days ago ^j10 while sitting in Ins yard chatting p,.j( with some of his friends, Mr. QUfi Thompson espied in a large oak Jmv near by what he supposed to he a f,.(M squirrel nest. It was huilt of pu houghs and leaves. Mr. II. K ^ Walters who was present suid he ... ? would climb tho tree and drive the aquirrela out, but upon reach j ing the neat to hia uttei aur prise he found it full of rata.
