Wheat presents a verdant aspect that is restful to the vision to beheld. There will be a good crop harvested if no pest infest it before it matures. ^ The recent cold snap nipped many a tender plum and delicate peach in the bud; but still there is enough left k to satisfy the appetite cf the most & fastideous. rirtrn r-klor?fir?flr ia tir^PT fllll RW3V. " ? Early planting is up, growing and doing nicely. Think the stands will be splendid. Mr. Harry Rowell is now artistically applying the paint brush to the exterior part of Mr. W. F. Mack's cottage. Mrs. G. A. Goodwin is now in Blackville at the bedside of her ffiicted father. "We hope he may recover soon and that she will soon come back to the one who is anxiously awaiting her return. Mr. D. B. Sphaler had a public ^ auction recently. He sold out his household and kitchen furniture, took his good lady and little Alton to the "Land Flowers" where he will AnnftmiA ennonQ in f V> Q norol VUUV1UUC7 IV vuv mm* w?

The flowers are blooming, The young folks are sporting, The candidates are booming. k Watch the columns of the Disl patch. Ere soon they'll be crowded with the names of the dear vote seekers. Well, let them come. Don't be afraid, boys, but come out in time, stay in the race to the finish and Billy's prediction is you'll get "thar,'' (some where). We are going to put up some men who are going to make ^ the boys hustle with a double qaick if they leave them. We are pleased to chronicle the m good news that our esteemed friend L neighbor, D. A. Shank, who has been P sick with an attack of the dreadful Grippe, is up and out again to the delight of bis many friends. That hightoned Christian gentleman and skillful physician, Dr. W. T. Brooker, attended him. Mr. T. B. Sharpe, who is now in the employment of the Cameron k Furniture factory, is spending the & Easter days with the Felix family. Mr. Emanuel Sharpe, an aged veteran of 84 years, was laid to ree$ in the Gaston buryiDg ground here, recently. The funeral oration was delivered by N. A. Hemrick from Job | xiv-14. A large sorrowing congre^ gation had gathered to view the remains of our departed friend. Our hearts go out in sympathy to the afflicted ones, k The school at Athens came to a close without the anticipated entertainment. "With the approach of the warm halcyon days, the noble mocking bird sits perched upon some eleva tion, warbling his melodious lays of *love and friendship, while a number of the famous martins fill the surrounding air with a continual upkroar of twittering songal \fitaa TV?rn T?. flrnff . nhn ror?onHv closed a successful term of school at Oak Grove, anticipates taking the teachers' course at the South Carolina College to better equip herself for the trying duties of the school . room. The health of the Felix family continues excellent, save now and then an outburst of cold. We feel grateful to our heavenly father for the blessings that rest upon our dear EH happy home. Should you chance to pass this way, Mr. Editor, drop in \ and break bread with us. Look out for the Parker-Hearst boom. There is a young man in this world, Who has a massive brain. When he writes a letter to his best girl, He mails it on the train. Everything moves along smoothly * along our R. F. D. route, and our k people realizes the benefits derived thereby, and others still drop in and accept the good service Uncle Sam offers them. The sun had descended behind the ! Women as Well as Men i Are Made Miserable by j j Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis- j courages and lessens ambition: beauty, vigor ! tand cheerfulness soon ! disappear when the kic- j neys are out of order ' ** or diseased. Kidney trouble has | " become so prevalent I J that it is not uncommon t j for a child to be born : jf3 afflicted with weak kid- ; ' neys. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as , most peopie suppose. Women as v/eil as men are made mis- j erable with kidney and bladder trouble, ! and both need the same great remedy, j The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

History has fully recorded the deeds of the men who have laid the foundations of this nation in the western wilderness; but the women who shared with the men pioneers the dangers and hardships of the frontier have received little notice from either historians or novelists. A great deal of light is thrown upon the Great Women of Pioneer Times in a series of articles that is appearing in the Delineator. The subject in the May number is Catherine Sevier. This remarkable womaa took and important part in many of the stirring events of the times, and exerted a powerful influence upon all with whnm f-hs came in contact,. As tie wife of an equally remarkable man she became the first lady iD the wFree State of Franklin,11 and afterward the first occupant of the Gubernatorial Mansion of Tennessee. A Pitiful Story.
