S. Martin, iu this section. Our farmers, have reduced their cotton crops one-third less than that of last year, end are planting more corn, potatoes, fee. We have a big advantage over the South Carolina farmers?we do not use any guano, and we make on an average of about three-fourths of a bale of cotton or about forty, five bushels of corn per acre. The Indians are quite numerous. You can see them out sporting around with their bow a id arrow, and they are gener? ally good markamon. I live on the Ar? kansas" River, about six miles above Fort Smith/ and we catch a good many fish with nets. Come out some time, Messrs. Editors, anil we will have a fishing party." The Keowee Courier, of last week, says t "Mr. J. T. Kay died at his home, near Walhalla, on Monday evening, 25th in? stant, after a lingering and painful illness from cancer. For two years or more his bus been a lingering death, but his great Buffering was borne with Christian forti? tude and resignation. He was a native of Anderson County, having been born and reaied near Belton. He removed to Ooonee several years ago, and purchased a farm about three miles fron. Walhalla, where he und his family have resided. Mr. Kay was an upright and worthy citi? zen, and' enjoyed the confidence and re* ' spect of all who knew bim. His body was buried in the cemetery of the Wal? halla Baptist-Church, of which he was a member, on Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock, after .appropriate funeral services conducted by Rev. R. W.

Kuller opened his three nights' engage? ment with a lecture "Around the World in Three Days," illustrated by mechanical ' and dissolving views from a powerful sterroptican. It was a pity that the audi? ence was so small, for the views given are as fine as any ever seen here. The Pro? fessor's lecture, too, is intensely interest? ing and entertaining. The snow scenes are wonderfully realistic. He started with his audience from Charleston and left them witnessing the gladiatorial contests in the Colosseum arena iu Rome, The performance closed with an excellent dia flav of ventriloquism by Prof. Lingerman. t was highly amusing." Admission, 36 cents; children, 25 cents; reserved seats, 50 cents. Last Saturday evening about 6 o'clock a difficulty occurred on Mr. N. A. McCul iy's premises, on Whitner street, between two negroes, Andrew Palmer and Marshal Jones. The negroes bad had a quarrel a few days preceding, and, meeting again Saturday afternoon, it was renewed, when ^Palmer struck Jones on the right side of His head with a hoe, crushing a hole in the sliull larger than a sliver dollar, and driv? ing pieces of bone in the brain at least an inoh. Jones fell to the ground, and it was the general opinion of those who reached his side first that he was dead. He was carried to his home op Market street and Doctors "Sardin and Orr came to hi3 relief. They dressed the wound and discovered that the unfortunate man had lost some of his brain matter. They were a doubt? ful about his recovery, but gave him every attention possible, and on Wednes? day morning Dr. Nardin stated that Jones was getting along exceedingly well and there was a good chance for his recovery. Palmer is in jail. He claims that he struck Jones in self-defence. Barnes Items. The farmers of this section are well up with their work, and are preparing to make it interestin0 for "General Green" as eoon as he makes his appearance. Cotton is coming up very slowly, but with a good shower and warm weather, think it will soon be ready for ns. Wheat and oats are looking fine. The fruit is not all killed. Nearly every farmer has a large forage patch, (some of them four or five) the cane patch has not been neg? lected, the potato patches are increased, and the people have almost forgotten the cry of hard times and are looking forward to a time of peace and plenty.* Well,'Mr. Editor, I will tell you a good one on one of your correspondents. He has said a great deal about Leap Year, and in your issue of the 14th of April he says be is auxlously awaiting a call from some of the young ladies. A few days later a neighbor girl called, but she bad not been there long until he called for his mother to come and save him. The young lady was kicking him right and left. He < now says that he knows what a fellow means when he says his girl has kicked him, and he is sorry that he does know. But this is not all. The next evening be stolnakise from a girl that was riding with him. She dldn7t take it back. She didn't want to, but she used some lan :e that Webster Is not acquainted with, erliy, the way of the bachelor is hard. We have no marriages to tell you of | now, but nuleas all signs fail we will send them up by the dozens next fall. Rev. Mr. Dnrant preached an interest? ing sermon to a large audience at the Methodist Church last Sunday evening. Willie Seawright was in town recently with his bicycle. He rides very well on good roads, but has to lead it over rough places. Well, Mr. Editor, I will close by telling you not a joke, bnt a truth on myself, I . called on a lady recently and, after spend? ing a few hours with her very pleasantly, I asked her to accompany me home. She -told me very plainly that I was not only a fool, but that I was crazy, and now I think I was, or I would not have gone there. W. The weather is good, and the farmers are np with their crop as well, or better than usual. We had a good shower of rain last night, and all the people are in good health. What more could we want to make us a happy people? We have a good school and a good teacher, a prayer meeting every Saturday night and Sun? day school, twice every Sunday. . The neighborhood is well blessed with a good crop of girls just about "sweet Blxteen," but unfortunately for the girls, there are very few bachelors in our community. We think that our Notary Public will soon be able to report another marriage, as one of the young ladies says she expects soon to be a married woman, and she also makes her boast that after she ti married she will not be compelled to do any kind of work, but we hear that she will be sadly mistaken, as her fellow is about seven feet high and she is only four feet. She will have a lot of climbing to do in order to kiss him. One of the young men cf our neighbor? hood has recently sent his buggy, and driver up the Railroad and moved bis jewelry from bis former place of deposit We suppose he expects to set up shop at a new place, or else he will sell out at cost and quit the business. Well, Mr. Editor, I have been feeling bad for some, time, and have not beon able to understand my case until of late. I find that Governor Tillman claims to hold the State in his breeches pocket and I have alwayB been accustomed to enjoy liberty, and when it comes to the State of South Carolina being bound up in one man's pocket I am sure there is no liberty in that, and if he had not been the mighty man'of Buckram we would have never survived. Oue of our neighbors, who is a gentleman as well as a farmer, takes some papers and borrows others. - He is getting old and tolerant His natural disnosition is not to criticize, bnt rather to apologize for everything and everybody. Whim there is conflict and excitement and bitter? ness, he takes no aides, but offers excuses for both* Says he: "There are two sides to this political campaign, and folks ought to discuBs it more calmly. I don't claim to have mind enough to decide the ques? tion, but it will all work out right." Our Heavenly Father is exceedingly kind to his creatures as long as there are a few good people to be found. God would have saved Sodom if Abraham could have found ten good persons. I don't know how large a place Sodom was. It might have been as large as the State of South Carolina'", and it must have been a very bad place. But God puts up with a heap before be lets his wrath boil over, and as bad as the State of affairs are at this time, I do believe there are anties enough left to Induce God to spare us yet a little longer. _ Bill. Lebanon Items. The Missionary m^Jttog last third Sab? bath .afternoon was indeed interesting. Miss Rosa Greer, our accomplished music and assistant school teacher, In her grace? ful and intelligent way, read a little tract, "Good's Hand in Cuba." It told briefly, though plainly, of the start and progress of Christianity in Cuba. Prof. Hamlln, in his impressive style, discussed "Why we should educate and instruct our youth." He thought it mere selfishness to educate children because the profession of letters has, in these days become a fashion, and that the man or woman of general proficiency can best work out thsTr suc? cess in worldly affairs, and he gave that as one cause for so many failures in a college education; but that we should educate with a view that knowledge is a treasure which gladdens the heart, dignifies the mind, ennobles the sonl and prepares it to understand God's problems and carry them out He held that a simple truth, well ascertained, is greater than the grandest theory founded upon questionable premises. Our pastor, Rey. W. Hawkins, in his able and instructive way, spoke on "Missions in Caba." It seems that he was inspired for the occasion, and we believe the large audience caught the inspiration, judging from their strict attention. He tola what one man who has consecrated himself to God's work has done in Cuba, and the mysterious way in which God brought him to do this work, which chows that God's ways are not our ways. He concluded by saying that God honors the home missionary as well as the for? eign, and that it is every ones duty and privilege to be a missionary iu some sense of the word. We were glad to see so many of our Sa? lem friends present. Come again, your presence cheers us. Mrs, S. Y. Williams and son, of Brushy Creek, were visiting at Mr. J. R. Thom? son's on the fourth Saturday night, We were sorry to hear that her husband's health is very little better. Miss Alma Wickliife, of Anderson, was a welcome visitor in our Sunday School on the fourth Sabbath. Jumbo. At the last Conference our Church elec? ted BroB. Joptha Harper, C. H, Holland, and E, J. Buchanan as delegates to the Union Meeting, which meets with Flat Rock this month. The same gentle? men will make a report for the Sunday School, This Church has a Conference quarterly, and sometimes takes in mem? bers end sometimes takes out a few. The farmers are working well in this section, and are well up with their work. We have as much fruit as we deserve. Dr. J. G. Duckworth's handsome new dwelling house is admired by everybody. It contains eight rooms and is two stories. The part fronting the Anderson road is 20x28 feet including a hall 20 feet Wido. That fronting the road lead? ing to Lebanon is 40x18, with veranda in front, The L is 16x36 feet with piazza all the way, Therejare five gables and long rafters with curved roof and very heavy boxing. The sash are yery large with only four lights. The Doctor has only one child, and it is a girl, with a sweet disposition. So hold up your heads, boys, Some young man will be the Doc? tor's son-in-law one of these days. Some of our farmers are oomplaining about hard times, and always will. Why? Because they do not economize enough and do not pay enough attention to their own business at home. They should take less interest in politics and care more for self and family, Let Ren Tillman alone, for if he is elected he will not give you a cent of his salary, When you attend political meetings give all the speakers a hearing, say nothing and do your own voting. The health of this section is yery good at present, and we have as few law suits as any other section. Sometimes a per? son gets sorter so-bo, but 'Squire Hutch' inson settles the matter and. they go on rejoicing for awhile. However, no one but the gnilty is ever convicted. I have planted my watermelon seed. Mr. Editor, and my forage corn is up and well plowed, I have a good garden, too. I have been a subscriber to your valuable paper for thirty years, and always enjoy reading it. Come up and see us, Mr. Editor. In conclusion I will say three cheers for Orr, and three times three forShep pard, and as many times in proportion for Cleveland. a FabjIEK, Cedar Grove Item?. With the exception of sore eyes, which has many victims, the health of our com? munity is very good at present. We have had several days of very beau? tiful weather, and our bald-headed farm? ers have been making good use of it. We hear some of our farmers complain? ing of not having a good stand of corn. Just replant it, dear friends. Mrs. M. Tollison and daughter were visiting relatives in the lower part of our community last Sunday. Dr. Cynda Magaha is now getttng good practice in her medical line Of business. We are glad to see so much Interest manifested in our prayer meeting and Sunday School. Oar school has closed at this place and Miss Mamie Stepbens has returned to her homo in Williamston. Her many friends regret to see her leave our midst, cut long for her coming back in July, when she will take up her school again. We can say it beyond a doubt that we have one of the best school teachers at this place that there is in Anderson County. We are requested to announce that the debating soofety at this place will give a public speaking next Saturday night, the 7th ioBt, and a general invitation is ex? tended to everybody to be present. Our subject, which is a very interesting one is, ''Which is the worst, a liar or drunkard ?" Our foeraans are Messrs. A. L. Copeland and W. I. Mabaffey. Mr. Copeland has the affirmative side and his speakers are Messrs. Jasper Crawford, J. A. Broom, Jim Kinard, Willie Browning and John? nie Poors. Mr. Mabaffey has the negative ride, and his speakers are Messrs. Johnnie Vaughn, Clayton Copeland, O. J. Cope? land, M. C. Mabaffey and Joe Kinard. Our young friend who goes across the creek to Bee his girl has bought a white bow, and he is "just a getting there, Eli," now, I tell yon. Snakes have begun to make their ap? pearance now. A very large black one gavo Mr. Charley Sollivan a chase a few days ago. After running him a few yards the snake struck Mr. Sullivan, who then turned and killed it. ?* Mr. Willie Browning visited relatives in relzer last Saturday night. Grit. Belton Items. Preaching services were well attended here last Sunday morning and evening, and Dr. Manly preached two very instruct? ive and edifying sermons. Dr. Wilson and Mr. John Brock, of | Honea Path, were in Belton last Sunday. We trust they had a pleasant time, and hope they will come again. The Belton High School continues to grow in popularity. Fonr new names were added Monday last to Its already long list of pupils- The closing exercises of j the school will come off Tuesday, the 7th of June. Bev. Chas. Manly, D. D., has kindly consented to preach the commence? ment sermon on Sunday, June 5th. The young men of our town are happy. The stores are closed at 6 o'clock, and the clerks thus have an opportunity of engag? ing in lawn tennis. Miss M. E. Molntosh, Corresponding Secretary of Central Committee of Wo? man's Mission Society, is expected to be at Belton on Thursday, May 12th, and she would be glad to meet all the ladies from the different Churches within reach of I Belton.

Gambrell, two handsome young men from Honea Path, visited in this commu? nity last Sunday. We havn't had any weddings in this neighborhood in a long time, but if j Madam Rumor be right, one of our best girls is soon to leave up. On that eventful day please remember faithful Bon. Corner Newa. The aubjeot has changed from hard times to politics. Miss Mattie Terry, a charming young lady of Elberton County, Ga., spent sev? eral days with her friends in our County last week. .Come again. Miss Mattie, you are always a welcome'visitor to this com? munity. Mr. Editor, our Georgia girls are in ma? lignity with the Corner correspondent. They say it is a malign to them. It is the truth that has caused the trouble. Some of the handsomest young ladies visit our Corner I believe I ever saw, and to tell the truth I am really proud of it. I am sorry to say that we have not had a preceptor in the Corner who has pleased all the patrons of the school.
