We extend our congratula? tions to tbe happy couple, and wish for them a happy journey through life. What care they for the world's frowns with their loved ones by their side ? For through life's ups and downs they'll face life's stormy tide; And the current bears them on from all that's deal in life; Their love will eTer be as strong as when they call her wife, their wife, their wife. So, boys, let us cheer them on, they can't be with us lonz, Don't sneer at them because they are grown and married: And remember while we are young, that the day to as may come, When we will be grown and married, too. There is money in cotton yet. I very often hear of it selling for as much as two cents per ponnd. There, are several cases of grip in the community. Oar German friend, Mr. Fritz Darn burg, who lived on Main Street last year, has moved to Briggs, in Fickens County. There is a good deal of cctt on scattered about in tbe country waiting for higher prices. We still hear the cry of "bard times," and often meet up with men that tell us they came out behind last year. Money is very scarce, 1 will admit, but I don't see how it will make it any more plentiful for everybody to be crying "hard times," Notwithstanding the many thousand almanacs of tbe 1891 issue that departed this life last Thursday night, December 31st, Messrs. J. T. Wi ging ton & Co., pro? prietors of tbe "Variety Store," tell me that they have a new lot of furniture, that will be sold at prices to suit all pockets, and an inexhaustible supply of large healthy almanacs for 1892. Reader, yon may now rise and sing the closing piece. Yours respectfully, > Ned Needle. Alice Dots. The girls are speaking of having a Leap Year party shortly. Christmas was very much enjoyed by onr'young people.. A certain young man from the city vis? ited his girl in this section last week. He spent the night at her home, but left next morning before breakfast. A little -child of Pick Adame, colored, .was choked to death by a raw potato lodg ingin bis throat one day last week. We have six cases of the la grippe in our immediate neighborhood. Mr. A. J. Poorb and family have moved back to their old home in Abbeville County. We regret to see them leave our midst. ?

We wish them a long life of happiness and prosperity. A happy New Year to everybody. johk. Brushy Creek Items. The marriage fever seems to be an epi? demic in our section just now. Five couples have recently stepped across the "dead line." Mr. Anderson Cason died on Thursday, Slst ult., and was buried at Pisgah Church on the day following. A Mr. Jennings was buried at the same place on Monday preceding, and Mr. Augustus Hamilton was buried at Slabtown on 30th ult. Christmas passed off very quietly in our section. Some of the boys indulged too [JreeJj,iD strong drink, but they harmed nobody butT themselves. A few days ago Natban McFowling shot Major Robinson twice in tbe breast and in tbe side. The pistol was a'38 calibre, bot tbe balls did not brbak the skin. Mc Fowling made his escape. A good many of our people have been changing homes recently. There seems to be more moving than usual. P. CentervUle Items. It has been a long time, Mr. Editor, since you have heard anything from this community. Centerville is still alive, and will be for a long time to come. Our clever young friend J. R. Crawford has moved from here, end he is suc? ceeded at tha mills by Mr. John Camp? bell, who comes to us from Abbeville County, Last year there were 5,555 bosh els of grain ground at tbe mill. This year these figures will be greatly increased, no doubt, as more small grain has been sown this season than for years past. Christmas was very dull in this section. The wedding bells are ringing all around us, bat it seems as if your humble scribe's will sever ring for him. 'Money and girls are both scarce in this neighbor? hood. J. M. E. The Musicians' 6 aide.

The attack brings ou rapidly a fit of madness, patients rushing through the streets screaming and yelling, and shudderiug at the sight of certain objects which pro? voke tho paroxysms. Madness gives way to high feverand severe prostration, not infrequently ending in death. In? sanity sometimes accompanies the dis? ease in this country, but not in the early stage. A remarkable feature of this ex? traordinary disease is the fact that it is almost universal in its character, and af? fects all classes, rich and poor, alike, while most of the dreaded epidemics, like cholera, yellow fever, smallpox, etc., are generally confined to limited sections of even one country. The grip breaks out everywhere, is no respecter of persons, no saniUiry precaution can ward it off, and it keeps coming. ? Mr. H. W. Knight, a leading Metho? dist layman of Brooklyn, startled his church Conference the other day by some of his progressive ideas. Ho suggested that pool aud billiard tables, bowling alleys, etc., be put into the basements of the churches, to induco young men to frequent the churches and thus come under Christian influence. In the course of his argument to the Conference, Mr. Knight said: "Now, brethren, I want to say that I owe allegiance first to God, second to my family, and third to the Methodist Church, which I believe was ordained to work among the poor and down-trodden, and I stand here this morning to arraigu tho M. E. Church before tne bar of Almighty God, and to say that Methodism is neglecting her duty all over the country, and especially in the larger cities, and particularly in the down-town sections of our cities. I would erect a building, not necessarily a church building, a building mora in the nature of a hall, and thoro should be a placo for an orchestra and a place for a choir. The audience room should con? tain 2,500 sittings. I would put under it bowling alloys, and I would put in and about it billiard tables, pool tables, gym? nasiums, swimming baths, sewing schools, cooking schools, boys' clubs, men's clubs, women's clubs, girls' clubs. I would make it, iu othor words, just as attractive as possible, and would make it come in, direc'1 competition with the sa? loons," ' > \ > ? North Dakota has a a barley farm of 250,000 acres. ?
