? The fleecy Btaple is being
gathered rapidly and the hum of
the gins is heard from morning
till night. The crop will bo about
~ half the usual yield, and at some
places more than half already
^ gathered. The early picking is
a being marketed as fast as it is
116 ready, notwithstanding the probability
of higher prices. Upland
n" corn is poor but low lands are
^ pretty good and the yield will be
118 satisfactory if they can bo gathered
before an overflow.
!r" We have not heard much talk
of sowing grain. Seed wheat and
ry oats are scarce and the poor yield
of the last crop has somewhat
r*1 discouraged the farmer in grain
growing. However, wo hope to
)e> see our farmers give a greater
c* diversity of farm products. Two
3** much cotton has already destroyed
>nt farrn properity and dissatisfied the
farmer and caused him to leave
res his farm to be tenanted out to the
h0 thriftless from whom but little
ny prosperity can he expected.
There are several candidates
a* for the office of census enumerator
"" for Waxhaw Township. They
have their petitions in circulation,

who has the longest pole, or which
one will get the coon.
Mrs ?J M Smith of Waxhaw has

ae The Fourth Quarterly Conference
for Van Wyck charge

Cedar Camp, W O W will meet
Thursday night, at its usual forest
in Van Wyck, to transact some

important business, and every

Cedar Camp has been

but a few months when death laid
y his cold icy fingers upon him, and
_ removed our brother from the
cares of this life. But how fortu16
J0 nate that he thought of placing a
protection for his family in the
Woodmen of the World, and put
5
the thought into execution. He
)(j placed a policy for one thousand
u dollars for the benefit of his wife
and children a few months ago
l' and now that his strong arm i6
stilled in death, he had the satisfaction
to know when ho had to
0 yield to the inevitable, he had
je leit to his loved ones, some help
for their protection against a cold,
ft
heartless world. The ramp escorted
his remains to Camp Creek
church where they were laid to
rest by the side of loved ones?by
the funeral ceremony of the Wood
men of the World. At an early
day the Woodmen will erect a
. hundred dollar monument at his
K1
grave, which will l>e a silent watchman
over a worthy Sovereign, but
will speak to those who pass by
r of some of the merits of the noble
order of Woodcraft.

suit and gave notice that there
