LETTER FROM BETHESDA. ] i "XV Interesting Batch of Neighborhood ( Notes. ( Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. 1 Bethesda, July 20.?This section had heavy ( rains on Friday and Saturday evening. There ( was no damage that we have heard of, and as rain j was needed we hear no grumbling. The crops , in this section are better than the most sanguine | hoped for a few weeks ago, and if the seasons | continue, with a few exceptions, there will be a , fair average crop of corn and cotton made. , The question tnat is now bothering the Bethes- ] da farmer is not what he is going to make, but how much he is going to get for what he does , make. The prospect for getting anything like a j remunerative price for cotton is now gloomy, and the chances for meeting the heavy expense that the land owner has been put to to make it, is slim. Yet if cotton brings a fair price, we think we can say of Bethes()a what Tom Allen said about the ground the night of the earthquake: "She is all solid yet." The wheat is not turning out as good as might have been expected from the appearance of the ( jf. growing crop. The acreage planted is small, and the" amount raised in this vicinity is insignificant , at best. The oat crop, so far as I have been able , to learn, is fairly good. ( xsiih tu ohunaniit t nntica aunfm'iallv the fine , orchard of Honorable W. N. felder. Though J considerable damaged by the storm that passed ) through here some weeks ago, he still has some s trees loaded with fine varieties of apples and , peaches, the very looks of which make one's < mouth water. Mrs. Harriet Bratton also has an abundance of ( x fhiit of different kinds and rare varieties. I no- , tice in her garden the largest scuppernong vine ] I have ever seen in the up country. The arbor . it is on will cover one-eight of an acre, and is now hanging with grapes. Even if Jay Gould, ( Old Hutch and a few others have got all the money, they can't starve us out while apples, peaches, blackberries, spring chickens, beans and potatoes last. ] Rev. R. H. Raid, father of our pastor, preached an excellent sermon at Bethesda church on ( Sunday last. He, with Miss Mabel and Master , Bernard Smith, are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. , Phillip Lindsay. Rev. B. P. Reid is visiting in Greenwood. s Misses Ella and Jeanuette Davidson, of York- ( ville. Miss Mary Erwin, of Gastonia, and Miss ( Walker, of Uuion, are visiting Misses Carrie and ] Aggie Erwin. , Miss Mary McCarley, of Winnsboro, is visit- f Miss Jessie Sandifer. * , Miss Stitt Harris is at Mr. X. B. Bratton's. ] Miss Lena Lowry is viBiting Misses Annie and ( Belle Mendenhall. Miss Lilly Horn, of Burke county, X. C., is . teaching the school at Actioch. Misses Mary and Laura Mendenhall returned ] to-day from an extended visit to friends in Gas- , ton countv. They are accompanied by their , cousin, Miss Mary Anderson, of Gaston. Honorable W. X. Elder will leave to-morrow , to attend the meeting of the State Alliance at ] Spartanburg. I learn from persons who were present, that there was quite an enjoyable picnic at Mr. Gus Erwin's on Friday evening last. Our bachelor friend B , recently found the . on kia ialila?loft hV hlR ] lUiniWUIK lU9UUV%IVilO vu uw w?w*v sisters who had gone to visit friends. He publishes them that other bachelors may know what to expect when the lady folks leave home: < "Be certain and keep the cats out of the house. Shut the doors. Put a lock on the lumber house, , and take care of the tools. Give the hogs water. | Look after the chickens and eggs. Hunt the , guinea nests. Save me some grapes and figs. , fake care of tho pantry key, and don't waste , the sugar. Sweep off the front door steps. Wa- j ter tho flowers. Brush down the cob-webs. Keep out of the garden. Give Sam some butter- , milk. Turn the knob and shake the back door . before locking. Retire early." , The debating society did not meet on last Fri day morning owing to the rain. The next regular debate will be on Friday July 31. x. , * 1 ? i LETTER FROM HICKORY GROVE. i Condition of the Crops?Business Dull?The ( The Academy Opened Propitiously with Increased Facilities?Mr. Whltesldes's ' Neighbors to the Rescue. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. j Hickory Grovk, July 21.?The farmers are j about through with their crops. All the grass is not killed, "nor would it be killed if they ] should work on until frost if the rains continue. It is too late to kill grass in old corn or cotton. The operation is as ruinous to the crop as the grass. The low lands on Clark's Fork, except on a few farms, will make nothing. On King's > c%ek, with few exceptions, the crops are good. The corn on the uplands has been, on some ] farms, injured more on account of not being properly worked than by the wet weather. There are a number of farmers who admit their < corn crops are a fair average, and a few declare that they have good crops, and one gentleman, a man' of sound judgment and many years exderience, says he has the best corn crop he ever . had. The merchants of Hickory Grove are not sell- : ing many goods. This is a favorable sign for both merchants and farmers. The painter is putting the finishing touch on . the dwelling house of Mr. W. G. Whisonaut, and the carpenters are engaged in erecting a four- ? roomed cottage for Mr. C. M. Martin. * k The Hickory Grove academy opened propitiously on the 13th inst, and is rapidly increasing in numbers. The corps of teachers will be in- { creased next week by the addition of Miss Bessie Barron, of Yorkville,Jwkn recently graduated from the Due West Female college. , So far as your correspondent knows, there is not a single case of sickness of any kind in this community. On last Friday, the neighbors of Mr. J. Meek . Whitesides, whose dwelling, with all its conteuts , except two beds, a few chairs, and some of his . children's clothing, was burned on the night of the 13th instant, met and rendered him valuable assistance in his efforts to save his crop and the crop of one of his tenants. Nine plows and as tw% K?a oAAn uftar cnnriwp IllUIiy UWUO 1U IUO uoiuo gwu wtw* ^ and continued hard at work until stopped by the rain in the afternoon. After all, there is a large amount of real kindness and brotherly love in ( man's heart. Meek Whitesides is a g<fc>d man, and his neighbors are aware of the fact, and are, , without any noise, arranging plans to build him . a house. These calamities, although th >y appear ' only evil, are really good things. The effect is , good on the main sufferer ana on his friends. , They give his friends an opportunity to show , how much they really think of him. bisskl. ( LETTER FROM BETHEL. ] < Better Mall Facilities Wanted-Gold Milling ] Operations?Light Cotton Crop?The New Minister?Thanks to "W. O. G." ! Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. j Bkthkl, July 20.?This thing of being so fan f away from a railroad is a nuisance. We ought to have one up in this country, or at least a daily | mail, such as they have from Yorkville to Bui- 1 lock's creek. The outlook is that there will bo a gold mine ' in operation on Beaver Dam soon. Professor McNulty is now engaged with a force of hands putting up a mill, and the precious metal will . be stamped out of the ore on the spot. 1 The cotton crop does not promise very much I this year. Last year Messrs. G. L. Riddle A Son ] ginned 785 bales, from a radius of about live miles, but they will do well to get tho half of that next season. < Mr. R. J. Davis, one of our progressive young < farmers, was married on last Wednesday to Miss . Lizzie Kendrick, a popular young lady of Bethel. J The couple left for Baltimore to visit M r. Davis's 1 sister, Mrs. Overcash. Mrs. Overcash will prob- ] ably return with them for the summer. i We've got our new preacher, Rev. D. S. MeAllister, and everybody is delighted with him and his family. His first sermon, preached to < a large and attentive congregation, was from the i text" What shall it profit a man etc." and was j a splendid effort. Master Frank Riddle, of Yorkville, is visiting 1 his grandparents at Zeno and Begonia. ( Mr. B. G. Brown, who 'has been quite ill for some time, has improved so much as to l>e able 4 to ride out. Mrs. Davidson Boyd is recovering from an at- 1 tack of typhoid neuralgia. f Allow me to return tnanks to "W. O. G." for f his full and comprehensive answer to my question about mites. I felt sure that he could ( answer it, and though I won't publish an admis- 1 sion that he diagnosed the situation witli abso- j lute accuracy, I will profit by his advice?or , rather that of Mrs. . O. G." The many friends and former pupils -of Miss < Hattie Ratterree were glad to see her at Bethel 1 not long ago. Bktiikl. ( GOULD NOTES. J Heavy Rains?Laying by the Crops?Some Ob- , serrations on the Road Question. , Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. ( Gould, July 20.?Good seasonable rains con- . tinue. Last I riday this section was visited with . the heaviest rain we have had this season. The ' small creeksand branches were higher than they ] have been this year. The rain, however, did not extend far up Bullock's creek, as it was not t very' full. 1 ith favorable weather most of our farmers > will finish ud work this week, except very late t planted corn and cotton. The farmers have had { a tight, and they may congratulate themselves on . having done as well as they have, even if results 1 are not altogether satisfactory. I The Alliances of this section have l>een dis- ( cussing the practicability of working the roads by taxation. That is all right?no matter how ; but I let us have theni worked. It has been said that ;1 the morals of a people may be judged by the j condition of their roads. If this is true, and I do not fully l?elieve it, there are some very rug- , ged morals in Bullock's Creek. Our roads are ' not so muddy, but they are full of washouts and t gullies, which is just as bad, if not worse. The i jmud only tries the patience, but the gullies and washouts endanger life and limb. I am informed that the money has been made ' up for a singing school at Bullock's Creek, and Professor Humphreys, of Gatt'ney, will be em- ( ployed as teacher. He is a thorough master of vocal music and the selection is an excellent-one. ( Mrs. R. P. Smith is visiting friends in the l Bullock's Creek neighborhood, and her numcr- t ous friends are glad to see her. I)r. J. B. Good, whose illness was mentioned in my last letter, is gradually growing worse, and < his death is expected daily. 11. |i LETTER FROM H00DT0WN. j ( t Condition of the Crops?The Alliance Still Dis* , cussing the Sub-Treasury. ( Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. , Hoodtowx, July 20.?When I wrote my last letter to Thk ExyuiKKK, about six weeks ago, , it was rain, rain, rain, and it is about the same thing yet. I think Professor llicks may take ! j down his lxmrd as to the crop prospects. Early j 1 cotton that was well worked, is looking as well as i usual, but unfortunately there is very little of J it that was worked that way. The later crop is doing pretty well, but depends altogether on the time that frost will strike it as to whether it j will make anything. i j Upland corn is as tineas I oversaw, but that on i the lowlands and water courses will be a complete failure. With a short cotton crop at low | < jriees, and no corn, the farmers will he in a had ? now of stumps this year. v. The Hoodtown Alliance gave a picnic lust Sat- 1 irday and the young men and young ladies were &a' nit in bright array. Music was turnished by ch :he Hoodtown Brass band. The Alliance met ge ind discussed the sub-treasury bill. There is a j iifference of opinion as to the gcxxl or evil result *1. >f the passage of such a measure. We all agree Ft! :hat there is something wrong somewhere, but an a'hat and where it is is the question that is dis- QU urbing our people. One thing, however, is cer.- . airi; .we cannot farm successfully with our cribs 1)0 md meat markets so far away from us. We ne must get charge of them ourselves. They have pe, n?en run by others almost to our ruin already. * Misses Annie and Zulie Stephenson spent Sat- * inlay and Sunday as guests of Miss Sallie Plex- ke ico. RAMBLKR. ?
