They have some- di 8 thing of interest to say to their many at B Pickens customers. de The county commisioners were in T 3 special sessidon last Monday, and be. bt a sides other business considered and bc approved sundry claims. elk mi Judge Witherspoon went over to sy Greenvilie last Saturday. Court con- th vened there Monday morning, and is on likely to continue three weeks. th Uncle Tom Canuon, who is now to eighty-six years old, has been unable uC to be about for several weeks.. He to was considered mor'e feeble last Satur- wI day. fic The Richmond & Danville Railroad Hi Company have erected neat and taste- se ful section houses on the railroad, by the Moon place, one mile. east of Easley. Mr. Thomas K. Hudgens is Express messenger from Atlanta to Richmond J on the R. & D. His friends thus get a glimpse of him two or three times a week. Clayton Dickso'n has been keeping the rust off of his farming tools this spring with elbow grease, and there is G< 'tow no stubble left for the larks to nest in. The cedar telegraph poles recently erected along the railroad will stand for years and years. They are so stuck as to keep the centre of gravity over the base. Uncle George Alexander, colored, who lives at old Pickens, is now eighty-four years old and is not ex , pected to last much longer. He bas I been confined to his bed several T, weeks. . Rev. G. W.

Bounds at W. J. Pon der's distillery last Saturday. His service at this poitt is only temporary and he will be given steady work at some other p)oint. Tbc record at ihe County poor house for the past year has been a surprising one. The inmates nowli ~number nineteen, 12 white and 7 col- at ored, and they are expecting 5 more s this week, which will swell the list, total to 24; under thle skillful mnatn agement of Mr. J. M. Hunnicut, the farm produces enough to pay all ex penses of the instttution, and even afford some luxuries for the inmates. Everyone who passes tihe beautiful little farm of Nelson Smith, near Glassv Mountain, is sure to remark that he i's a model farmer. Talking about cook ing schools, Mr. Smith ought to be superintendent of a practical farming school. His fields ahwa.ys look like they were just ready for Sunday school or a- picnic. Tile terraces are perfect in* plan and structure, and they are as perfect in the new groundi as ttioy are in the old grounds. J. H. Gregory and wife atrrived from Florida last Saturday, and at e stopping with R. P. lamuilton. Mr. Gregory is a railroad main and had the moisfortune to get his right keg fractured just above the. ankle, about three weeks ago. He tarried at ~Easley long enough to have Dr. R. F. Smith examine the limb, which he found to be ini need of an elastic half hose. Mr. Gregory will remain in the county until he is again readyU a for duty.* Irvin Miller, who is south of Wolf e Creek on the Greenville road has, Smade a splendid beginning oni theI e crop of 1894. His motto is "corn a plenty, then all the cottonl you can.' a Tile minstrels last Friday nuight were a roaring success, and the fun was mtuchi enjoyed by a full house. n Easley was well represented by a n party of beautiful younug ladies and a httane gentlemen. One of the e latter could- not tear himself away e from Pickens until Sabbath. T. H. Smith, whlo lives at the D: yL place, two( mtles east oif Easley, is ap e plying the principles and practices of intensive farming. Everything arounid the stately dwelling has a been put in line and many broad, hi leve1 acres have been stirred to r< - is ceive tho fertilizer for this year's crop. y. Besides the tons of. commercial forttil r. ize~r which he will use, he has 'a pen1 3. of home-mitade comtpost, which is now yf fifteen feet high and is still growving. yf If lhe and the boys are blessed with .e good health and good seasons they' .11 wvill make a broad mark ini the farm . inag.businiess this year, There is nit a much prettier farm 2 the counnty than the T.
