Tank Items.
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.

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

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. After his amazement some I?.

alarmed, tired on one. killing it, ^ot
which measured 17 inches from j

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

he found it full of rata. The Hmi
