D., pastor of 1 the First Presbyterian Church at Mar shall, Texas, has been granted a two months' vacation by his congregation, and he is spending it at Pendleton with his venerable mother and other relatives.

The "Little Tycoon" Opera will be again rendered in the Opera House next Wed? nesday evening by Anderson's amateurs, under the management of Mrs. J. D Max? well. Those of our people who witnessed the entertainment last Spring enjoyed it exceedingly, and we feel safe in predicting a big audience for the troupe. Those of our citizens who did not attend the enter? tainment in the Spring, should not miss it this time. The admission price is 50 cents ; gallery, 35 cents. Reserved seats may be secured in advance without extra charge at Hill Bros. Remember the time, and be sure to attend. In the hurry of last week, caused by the "excitement of Saleday and the efforts by one of our men to secure registration for' those who appealed from the refusal of the Supervisor, we unintentionally failed to mention the pic nie given by the Sunday School at Mr. West's Spring, two miles below town. This Sunday School is held at the new house recently built near the Archer place. The pic nie was a success in every particular. It was well attended, everybody enjoyed themselves, and an abundant dinner of real good things was spread, to which all were cordially in? vited. Addresses were made by Messrs, C. Wardtaw, J. C. C. Featherston and Marshall Ligon. The Bocial feature of this gathering was especially good. The children also enjoyed themselves very much. Those who got it up are to be congratulated on the genuine success with which their efforts were crowned. The Salem Sunday School pic niced las'. Friday at Jolley's mineral spring, six mile3 above town. There was a large at? tendance, some coming from a distance of more than ten miles. Jolley's Spring is by nature a pic nie ground, and Mr. John Jolly, the proprietor, always contributes his share to the pleasure of gatherings there wbon he is able to attend. Rev. B. W. Hawkins had been invited to speak on this occasion, but owing to sickness he was unable to be prosent. However, the Committee pressed into service Revs. B. M. Pack and L. M. Ayer and Mr. C. Ward law, who gave short addresses. To those who know the people of the Salem neigh? borhood it is useless to say the dinner was first class in every way, and exceed? ingly ample. The day was one of unal? loyed pleasure to both young and old, and we believe all went away inspired with new "hope" to live better, do better and be better, and consequently at last to at? tain that better home, where what is now "hope" will then be reality. We would' say to the Salem Sunday" School, well don p. Sj'.rvlvorV Meeting. Tho Gist Rilles Survivors aro requested to attend the 8th annual meeting of the Association ab Wil liamston, S.

Rev.'S. H. Smith preached two most ex? cellent sermons at Neal's Creek on Sun? day, Gth inst. The congregation was large at both services, Mr. A. C. Lattiraer and wife, of Belton, attended services here on Gth inst. Such visitors are always welcome. Almost every one is beginning to enjoy a much needed rest, after several months of hard labor. If the seasons continue good, wo will certainly be rewarded with an abundant harvest. Our promising young friend, E. P.

Tillman." * Holland's Store Items. We had a good rain on the 9th inst. Our crops are looking well. Cotton is the largest we have ever seen it at this time of year. Our farmers will about wind up this week, bo far as ploughing and hoeing is concerned. We can then spare some time to listen at the candidates spin yarns and eat watermelons. "Get up a good stock of creditable jokes, boys," and an? nounce youreelvos. We are ready for you. Rev. Mr. Saylors preached two credita? ble sermons last Saturday night and Sun? day morning at Shiloh. The meeting at this Church will protract for several days. At the next meeting, tbe 2nd Sabbath in August, the pastor will be assisted by other divines. Our young friend, W. R. Earle, opened a school at Shiloh last Monday. The katydids are putting in full time now at night. They work like they were paid for the job. We saw a rooster undertake rather more than he could accomplish a few days ago, namely: to swallow a turkey gobbler. The gobbler's snout was all that he could manage to get down. Some people would do well to profit by this hasty chicken's dilemma and not cut off more than they can chaw. The health of our neighborhood is still pretty fair, only a few cases of serious sickness that we know of. Burke. Hopewell Itemii. Mr. Editor: It has been some time since we have given you any items from' Hopewell. Will try to get up some. This community has been blessed with good rains, and cotton and corn is looking well. If seasons continue we' will, per? haps, make the best crops we have made. in several years. There has been considerable improve? ment in this community this year. Messrs. J. C. Rush, D. B. McPhailand others, have completed their new houses, which are neat and comfortable buildings. Mr. W. M. Martiu and others, contem-' plate building this summer. The Hopewell building committee met at Hopewell the Sth inst., and decided to have a plan and specification made for the new Church building soon to be built. They expect to haul the lumber in Au? gust, and contract to have the house built later. We oxpect to have a protracted meeting, commencing next third Saturday. It will continue the next week following. Mr. J. M. Hamlin has gone to North Carolina to spend his ^vacation. He will take up bis school again about the 20th inst. His patrons aro well pleased with him as a teacher. . The Alliance will have a pic nie at Hopewell Spring about the first of Au? gust. The committee of arrangement will fix the day aad programme. No doubt tbe candidates will be given a chance to discuss the issues before the peo . pie. So Jar as our knowledge goes tbe Hopewell Democratic Club is unanimous for the farmers' movement and reform. One of our friends, coming from town, being asked what" had become of Peter's wife's mother, exclaimed "dead! dead!" but I see from "Jumbo on the situation" she is still sick. We are afraid Jumbo might hurst before he got to Columbia, therefore would not do us much good. T. Belton Items. The thing of most interest that has oc? curred here recently was the meeting of tho Democratic Club last Friday after? noon. Long before the time of meeting tbe town began to be filled with men, who evidently had some important ques? tion under consideration, from their gath? ering in groups and from their eagerness in discussion. Various sections of the County were represented, some being here from below Honea Path, from above Anderson, from 'Possum Kingdom, etc? come to rejoice over the expected Tillman victory, if not to help. Before the Club met the Executive Committee agreed that the Club should disband on account of the excitement existing between the two parties. This was created some time since by men coming to join this Club who are from localities where other clubs exist. It was ascertained last week that much more strenuous efforts wore being made in the same direction, consequently groater excitement. When the decision of the Committee was announcod, the two factions gathered at separate places, and thus two clubs werq organised. The Till? man wing enrolled 170, and the anti-Till man 100. The citizens of the town and immediate vicinity, very generally joined the latter, while those from a distance, generally, the former. No trouble arose during the evening, as was feared. How? ever, the Tillman faction was considera? bly demonstrative. As a looker-on we could sec that the true South Carolina spirit pervaded the crowd. There were Nullification of '33, Segession of 'tjQ, and intimidation of thp negro of '7G. Though, in some respects this is a French Revolu? tion, and some of the leaders are ae un? scrupulous as Robespierre. Let us hope it will dually work out good for all.

It lasted only a few minutes, but it fell I'a9t while it was at it. It was accom? panied by a strong wind, uprooting a goodly numbor of trees. The rain was much needed. Our crops in this section look a8 hne as we could expect. They surpass the average. Those of us who are in the dis? trict where the rain fell, are not suffering for rain, although we would like to have a good season. A meeting .of the Kock Mills Demo? cratic Club was held at Williford's Store Saturday, July 12th. There was a good turnout. Several resolutions were offered, bui only one passed.
