I ain't feelln' mueb; I've ?ot sich a nils'ry In mo knee. 'Pears like it's goln' to be stitt, so I'm ateard it mought be this new distress-peg leg-ry. What's the news with ye?" "La, bless ye! the weather's been so dry, tfiere hain't no news, only the party down to 'Squire Crisp's t'other Wednesday Might." "Do tell! How was lt? Was you there?" "No, I wa'n't there, but I kearn all about it. You know how pur ty an' nice the 'Squire's little darter, Miss Annie, Is? Well, she had three young gais, just as sweet an' purty as she ls, a-vlsitln' her. Who was they? La, yes; 1 thought you knowed. One was her cousin. Miss Robins, an' t'other two was Miss Duncanses from C'lunihla. Well, four purty gals in one house was more than these here boys could Staut 'thout having' a party, so Miss Annie axed the 'Squire an' he said lie didn't care. So pd tho boys and gals in town was Invited an' went. After they all got there an' caught thor breth, Mrs. Maude Maxwell's oldest gal, Julie, handed 'round jilecos o' paper with poetry writ on 'em an' cut ha'f in two-one ha'f to a hoy au' t'other to a gal. The hoy an' gal holdin' the pieces that would make sense was pardners. They had to set down to tables an' see who could stick the most goobers with a hat pin, an' you never have seed hat pins an' goobers fly so in your life! Test hearin' about it made inc think o' when nie an' Joshua Drown was sparkln', years ago. When they counted up, that little Riemann gal what works an stemografter for Col. .Teames had more'n anybody, an' Miss Faunie Karly had the fewest. AVho is she? Land sakes, now, 1 dunno. All I know ls her an' her sister has been up here furn Ander son. Then 'fore ye could think good, here they come with ice cream an' two kinds o' cake. This kep' ever hody quiet fur a Utile an' then this here young lawyer, Hughs, ri/, up to 'sent the prizes. Nobody but him knowed who was tho lucky ones, an' he liked to 'et never lom. Finally, he sed for Miss Hlemaun to stand up. an' he made like he was a jedge passiif sentence on 'er. From the way he tal!:ed you'd a thought the poor gal had done some'n turribel. Then he done that Miss Karly the same way an' lt made nie feel right sorry, fer 'em jest to hear it told. When he finished his say everbody jest clapped, but I don't see nothin' funny about it myself. Arter this 80methin' sorter of a soothin' natur was needed, so Miss Annie an' one o' her friends acted some songs that Miss Margie Drenneck played on the planner. Dy this time it was elebben o'clock and they wasn't axed to slay any longer, so everbody said they had n good time an' left." ' \Wi!. I . ?y!" Lei ai- from Conneross.

Tho Fut mts Course of these .-rchools Will Ai i LU I Attention. Col mr,ina. Sept. 13.-For some time the State Board of Education has been working to secure a stand ardization in the high schools of the State. Practically every college now measures Its entrance requirements in units. The Association of South ern Colleges has adopted this method and at least three South Carolina Colleges are requiring 14 units for admission to their freshman classes, lu order to secure recognition of thorough high school work, the State Board of Education, on September 7, adopted the following resolution: "That a Stale High School diploma signed by the chairman and the sec retary of the State Board and by the high Behool inspector, be given to every pupil completing fourteen standard units In any course of study In any of the public high schools of tho State of South Caro lina." The graduate of any high school can, under this resolution, secure the Sta to Board diploma, provided tho school actually does 14 units of high school work, lt ls not required that the high school bc State aided, ior a number of the best city schools In the State are operating under spe cial acts of the General Assembly and not under the general school law. It will be Interesting to see how many secondary schools In South Carolina will meet the requirements. Fairview Farmers' Vnion.
