For tl wonderf Ladies' Furnish: in our Carpet Dep I L Tapp Com Xrmo Dots. I have noc writen anything for your paper because I did nofc have aoytbing to write and did not have time to write it. We have to know something to write and have time to write it before we can write This is why so many people write so seldom aid some not at all. It mskes little difference what we write if the proper prefix is to it. I have read many - iii_ u tilings tnat a ten year oia Doy couiu do as well, bat the prefix ' Col." or some other such qualifier carried it through. We litde county paper scribblers have none such, and consequently cauDot spread cut on the topics of the day, but must try to fill up with such stuff as, ''Jones has whitewashed his let fence." So here is to you and your readers: Irmo is about on equilibrium What is going on ia one end of town is about the same at the other. If somebody dees a smart thing or 'cuts a new step," some one fellows suit, so that we are all at about par. We are glad to say that we have ' a splendid school rynniDg here now 1 wim Mr. Thad W. Dreher as Principal and Mrs. D. A. Pressiy as Assistant. Mrs. Pressiy will come : in as soon as the school get9 larger, i which will be after the Fair ia over, and with two Buch teachers we ; should be able to turn a few new i leaves. < Some of our boys and girls have become so well advanced that they i have deemed it best to go elsewhere i to school. We are glad to see such progress and hope some day to see some of j our boys and girls at the head of the literary class of our country. "A i good name is rather to be, chosen i than great riches," but when it comes to education let my boy and giil be thorough and we will see about the name later. Alas 1 too many, nowa- i dajs, go to college for the name, and ] the name is about all they come 3 home with. i Saturday night No. 84:, ran into 3 No. 2, on the Columbia, Newberry 1 and Laurens railroad at White Kock. < No one hurt. No. 2 was about seven i hours late and on the time of No. 84, ' and stopped to get wood and No. 84 i ran into her rear, tearing up engine 2 and demolishing the cab of train { No. 2. Everybody is getting ready for the State Fair, "regardless of age, color or previous conditions of servitude." They are all going and many will go rich and come back poor. ( Fine crops have been made here tbis year. Some have made as much as one bale of cotton per acre on an * A - . mi average 01 nve to ten acres, mis is fine cropping. , Since the decline in the price of cotton, selling has subsided considerably on our market, most of our farmers boldiDg for ten cents. "Grafting" io high life is becoming so frequent that it is getting to be popular and even some of the common people sleep with one eye open for a chance to "graft" on Borne- ( thing. "The love of money is the root of all evil," and if stringent measures are not resorted to to stop "grafting" and dishonest money getting it is bard to tell to what extent this kind of thing will go. There is a way to stop eome of it aDd it should be done. H. Oct. 23, 1305.
