Spring engagements are being announced or ru? mored, Spring pic nics and parties are on the tapis, and the children ?ad grown up folks are all having a go'd time. This genuine Spring weather is- very much like summer, and while the ladies are in full Spring suits, the boys are tumbling, in to the easy and delightful negligee costumes of warm weather. The Hartwell Sun says : "Our clever correspondent at Holland's Store, S. C, suggests an inter-State pic nie at Brown's Ferry. The suggestion is a good one. The umbrageous shade and oooi spring makes it a splendid place for a pio nio, and a cordial social reciprocity between the belles and beaux of the Palmetto and Empire States might bring about the best results. When shall it be?" On Friday morning, 17th inst, a bundle was carried off from the C. & G. depot by a young lady who came in on the down train and who did not discover the mis? take until after she arrived at her home, some distance in the country.

An.earnest revival of religion is in pro? gress in the classical little city of Due West. It began among the students of Erskine College in their Y. M. C. A. meet? ings, and has spread till both Colleges and the whole town are moved In the matter as never before in the history of the place. While many have joined the Church, a remarkable and encouraging feature is that it is a revival among church members largely. Of the young ladies boarding in the Female College over 08 per cent are church members, but there is no less a revival among them than among Erskine's students, where, too, 75 or 80 per cent are church members. It is p r oba ble that after the present meeting these Colleges will be entitled to the enviable distinction of having a larger per* cent of their students church members than any other Colleges in the world, The announcement is made by a news? paper in which the President's son is in? terested?

An enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of Concrete School District, in the upper section of Brushy Creek Township, was held last Thursday for the purpose of con? sidering the matter of levying a special tax for school purposes. School Com? missioner Wardlaw and Rev. Mr. Zim? merman were present and addressed the meeting.

The Columbia Record, of last Saturday, says: "There is a mother in Columbia sorrowing and suffering for the presence of her boy, who has gone away and left no trace of his destination behind. His parents believe hels still within the limits of South Carolina, and that if he could know how the fond mother, who nurtured him in infancy and sought tenderly to care for his comfort and welfate as he grew older,,was hungering for the sight of his face again; that all the troubles which caused his departure are possible of settle? ment without harm to him, and that bis continued absence is breaking that moth? er's heart, he would come home again. Will not the kind-hearted editors of the Palmetto State extend this notice and give "Ned*' a chance to see the words that may bring him back to borne and happiness, no matter how far he may have wandered from tbe path of either ? Any informa? tion of a fifteen-year-old boy, with dark hair, dark hazel eyes, heavy eyebrows, slight and short in build, who is- appa? rently away from home without leave, will be thankfully received by the anx? ious parents, who can be addressed care Columbia Bureau of the World." The "Pickens Sentinel, of last week, speaks as follows of two of Anderson County's progressive farmers: "Mr. Wm. McWhorter, who lives near Denver, in Anderson County, is one of the model far? mers. His dwelling and all of the out buildings were planned by himself, and are arranged for the greatest convenience. He is a warm advocate of diversified crops, hence in addition to his large cotton crop, he always raises enough corn to do him. As to cattle and horses, he is a stock raiser, his pens and pasture being now filled with colts and calves. He has about two acres set in Bermuda graBS, which he says pays a better dlvldendtban any other two acres on the farm. He also has a happy family of eight children, four daughters ? and four sons. . Mr. James McEIroy, of the Sandy Springs section of Anderson County, is a great believer in a grass patoh, bat he is too good a farmer to allow it to get mixed with his other crops. He has a fine plot of blue grass which be says is the best and cheapest stock food grown, and that he would not tryto get along without it for anything. He is quite familiar with the magnificent blue grass hills of Kentucky, and he knows no reason why we should not have as fine blue grass here as can be had there, pro? vided we bestow the same pains. Mr. Mc. is also a most successful stock raiser. Not long since be refused ?3,000 for Beau? mont, bis fine horse which is now in Ken? tucky." Calhoun Falls. In company with more than a hundred of oar citizens, we went down to Calhoun Falls last Friday to attend the first auc? tion sale of lots advertised to take place that day by the Western Carolina Land and Improvement Company of this city. The morning was cloudy and threatening rain, but tbe clouds soon disappeared and the day was a most delightful one. In ad? dition to the train from Anderson, a spe? cial was, run from Augusta, and from Greenwood over the Georgia, Carolina <fc Northern Road. The crowd numbered five or six hundred people, and was com? posed of citizens from all the neighboring counties in Georgia. As is well known the town site is located at tbe crossing of the Savannah Valley and the Georgia, Carolina <fc Northern Roads, and lies in what is known as the "Flat Woods" section of Abbeville County. It is a very pretty location, and is sur? rounded by some of the richest farming lands in the State. A very neat and sub? stantial depot has already been erected by the latter named Road. For several days preceding a large force of hands had been at work opening up the streets .and laying off tbe lots. In the center of the town site a large shed had been erected, and here the crowd assembled about 1 p. m., when tbe sale commenced, Col. 0. V. Walker, of Au? gusta, being the auctioneer. Before be tinning the sale Manager Geisberg intro uced Capt. P. K. McCully, President of the Company, who delivered the address of welcome. He spoke for ten minutes or more, telling of the advantages the place would enjoy, and said the Company meant business and proposed to use every means that energy and money would accomplish to make Calhoun Falls a prosperous town. Gen. W. W. Humphreys, the Vice-Presi dent of the Company, was also introduced and made a short speech, telling of the plans and prospects of the place. The sale then commenced and continued for more than two hours. About forty lots were bid off, the prices ranging from $100 to ?220, and aggregating about ?5,500. A number of lots were also sold at private sale. One or two of the business sites sold as high as ?8 a front foot. The purchasers were from various sections of the State and Georgia, one being from Pennsylvania and another from Indiana. The result of the sale was very gratifying to the Company. Calhoun Falls has certainly made a good start, and at no distant day a prosperous town will be seen growing up there. It is proposed to begin the erection of a com? modious hotel at an early day. Mr. A. W. Todd, architect, of Augusta, is now at work on the plan and specifications. He exhib? ited a drawing of the building that day. A Company has already purchased several acres and will begin at once manufacturing brick. Several other enterprises will also be developed in a short time. Moseloy Items. It bas been some time, Mr. Editor, since we have seen anything from Moseley. Here are a few off hand shots. The farmers are all very busy trying to get through planting. Some are ready to commence working over, and all getting along fine, considering the late start. Quite a number of our neighbors visited Calhoun Falls last Friday. Mr. V. H.

McMurtry, still hale and hearty in his 85th year, has just returned from a trip to Charleston, feeling better than when he left home. Travelling does not seem to tire him, and he now contemplates cross? ing the water on tbe 23rd of May, to be laid away in his native land. The Misses Erwins have been spending a few days with friends at Abbeville. They returned yesterday. Hon. R. E. Parker, County Commis? sioner, was in town this morning looking after business for the County, and hauling guano. He is one of the kind that never loses any time?the right man in the right place. Mr. J. J. Shirloy is planting his pet cot? ton patch to-day. while other farmers have been preparing fifteen or twenty acres, he has been preparing five or six, and the result will be a noticeable feature when the crops are gathered. Honea Path can boast of as many horti? culturists as any little town its size to be found anywhere. A peep into the gardens ofR. M. Shirley and T. H. Brock alone, besides many others, would be a treat to a lover of vegetables. J. W. Perry left for Greenwood Monday to obtain work. He will eome back here as soon as building commences again.

Fine rains greeted the farmers last week; they are moving right ahead with their work; planting will soon be finished, and in a few more days farmers will not know they were ever bebind. The area of grain in this community is small, but what there is looks very prom? ising. Mr. Mr. L. E. Hall feels satisfied he will reap twelve, to one of sowing. A few peaches, it seems, escaped the se? vere cold spell, and apples and cherries are plentiful.

Mr. Jackson Is one of our prosper? ous merchants, and Mrs. Jackson one of our most popular young ladies, and we join a multitude of friends in wishing them a long and happy life. * Piercetown Items. Piercetown is on a boom. We have two dry goods and grocery stores, and Dr. N. T. Richardson is now opening out a drug store in an adjoining room to D. H. Ham? mond. Business is lively in every re? spect. We expect to have a city by and by. We also have a blacksmith shop, and tbe smith has four or five hounds don' t mean wagon hounds, but dogs?and when business is dull in his line he goes hunting and takes in the game.. Mr. Grippe visited Fort Hill yesterday, and is yery much pleased with the place. The leading men of tbe work were very kind, and showed Mr. Grippe around. The convicts are well treated and taken care of. The brick works were nice. In fact, everything was carried on like busi? ness. Mr. Grippe bad just arrived at our little city when Colonel Tribble and Mr. H. Pooro came driving by and stopped for a refreshing drink of water. A violin being at hand Mr. Poore gave us some sweet music, and I will assure yon, Mr. Poore, it was enjoyed very muoh by all who were present Call by again, we will keep the violin on band. Well, we are glad to Bee the trees put? ting on their new Spring dress of green. Look out, boys, flowers will soon be in bloom, and tbe girls will pin a little bunch on the lappels of your coats. We see some of the farmers have planted cotton, and some of it is coming up. Good bye for this time. Grippe is nearly well. Gsippb. Merit Wins. We desire to Bay to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Dr, King's New Life Pills, Buckleys Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never bandied remedies that sell as well, or that have given such universal satisfaction. We do not heBitate to guarantee thorn every time, and we stand ready to rofund the purchase price if satisfactory results do not follow their use. These remedies have won their Seat popularity purely on their merits, ill Bro?. i Druggists, . .Attention, Song pf Temperance. The members aro roquoated to meet in Temperance Hall on Wednesday evening. May Gth, at 8J o'clock p. m. Mr. Stokes the State Organizer, will be present. A. B. Towebs. Lebanon Items. Hoping I will not tresspass on "Sine Die's" rights, I will attempt to give a few items. Spring has really come and now every? thing looks bright and cheerful. The far? mers are making good time during the dry spell, and-are nearly up with their work, a great many being done planting. A heavy fall of hail visited this section just above here last Friday afternoon, com? ing aa near as the '?Kingdom." One re? sult is the atmosphere is considerably cooled. I' think it will soon be time for the Road Overseers to warn out hands, as the roads are terribly cut up. I guess the Overseers are just waiting for another rain, in order not to lose time from their crops. Mr. J. H. Hutchinson will soon have his large, handsome and convenient resi? dence painted, which adds to its appear? ance wonderfully. Prof. Hamlin, Principal of the Lebanon High School is, we believe, giving entire satisfaction. He is an instructor right. Sunday School at this place is again in a flourishing coaditiou, and all working smoothly. I hope it will continue to im? prove. All should come out to the Debating So? ciety at Lebanon Saturday night, May 2nd, especially the young men, and take part in the discussions, too. ' If this don't go to the waste basket, and "Sine Die" don't get after me, I may come again. Pmz. Exhibition at Starr.

Its powerful effect are duo to the skillful combination of the best in Sedients, and hence no ill results ever fol w its use. . Pertinent Questions. Have you seen, have you priced Sulli? van Hardware Co's. new and tremendous stock of Hardware and Implements, es Secially their Hoes, Steel Plows, Patent weeps, Plow Stocks, Cultivators, Har? rows, Cotton Planters, etc. ? Surely you are not going it blind, and getting left by failing to post yourself in this simple way. They know the wants of the trade, and exert themselves to satisfy their custom? ers. As to variety, quality and quantity of their goods too much cannot be said. As to their prices they prefer saying very little, ohoosing rather to meet you person? ally, look you square in the eye, and drive away every lingering doubt with many perceptible realities. . The superior merit of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral as an anodyne expectorant is due to a skillful combination of the most pow? erful ingredients. Nothing like it has ever been attempted in pharmacy, and its suc? cess in the onre of pulmonary complaints' is un parallel led. Delays are Dangerona. The benefits accruing to poor men from carrying life insurancenave recently had at least two striking exemplifications in this county in the deaths of Messrs. De Wilt C. Holcomb and S. B. Brownlee. Each of these two had only paid an annual premium and settlements were promptly made as soon as the necessary papers were made out. Brownlee and Holcomb were both insured in the Mutual Benefit, of Newark, N. J.. which is represented in the Fork by G. N. C. Bo lern an, and in this oity by G. W. Miller. This is one of the strongest and most reliable companies, be? ing in its 46th year of existence and hav? ing 60 millions of assets. It deserves special mention for its prompt settlements, having adjusted Mr. Holcomb's claim within ten days from the time proof was made. "Delays are Dangerous."?Every one should promptly attend to this important matter and thereby protect their wives and children, in oase of death, from the dread? ful inconvenience of poverty. Look out for the Agents of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, and take a policy without delay. G. W. Milleb, G. N. 0. BOI/EMAN, Agents.
