They have already got such a law in Sweden, but it doesn't appear to dissuade "people from making away with them? selves there when tbey take It into their beads to do so. South Carolina is not the only place where lynch law prevails. Last Saturday ' morning a negro named Samuel J. Bush was taken from the Decatur, 111., jail and hanged to an electric light post. His offense was'tbe usual one. Bush was bora in Mississippi. The Governor of | Illinois is going to investigate it, but we do not expect to boo anybody convicted, oven in Illinois. ^Green goods" scoundrels axe coming to grief all oyer the country. Manipula? tors leva recently been arrested at Sioux City, Iowa, Springfield, Mo., Bridge water, Conn., Jersey City, N. J.,and sev? eral other places. It is astonishing the number of people who bite at the offers of these scoundrels, and put themselves in jeopardy of the law for the sake of gaining a dishonest dollar at the expense of their neighbors. = The Canadian Parliament has passed a law providing for the restoration of the ringim; of the curfew bell.

Now tba Supreme Court of the United States, a tribunal from which there is no appeal, ? has decided that the tomato is a vegetable and not ? fruit. A New York importer received an invoice of tomatoes and the custom* officers exacted a duty. The purchaser refused payment on the claim ""that the tomatoes were fruit. Hence the legal-fight and a final solution of the old conundrum. -:?:? if ? m - The origin of the Confederate battle flag is a favorite subject of disoussicn with a number of Southern newspapers. W, W. Davis, "messenger to the late President Davis," gives this account of it: "The Starsand Bars were used at i Ruh, and on account ot its similarity to the old Union flag caused some con? cision, and it was found that some '? change should be made; hence the adop? tion of what is now known as the battle hSag. This battle flag was not designed i by Gen. Beanregard, as generally belie v i ?d, but he was one of three who accepted the design." " - mm m mm A very amusing incident is told of a Till rnauite Trial Justice from St Stephens, ia this State, who took his constable and went into Georgia, arrested a nef :ro with? out s. requisition, and, when the negro i -refused to.return to this State, undertook I to try him in Georgia, But a Georgia j Justice did not propose to have a Judge this State hold court in hia baili jrick, and consequently told the South 'Carolina man that he could ;aot hold court in Georgia. Whereupon the Judge .from St Stephens got mad and said: "I'll [see Tinman about it and he'll fix it i right" Some people seem to think our j Governor supreme anywhere. They know he is in South Carolina. Last Saturday Judge Simonton ap iinted John B. Cleveland, Esq., of partanburg, permanent Receiver of the Port Royal <fc Western Carolina and the i iAuguata&KnoxvilloRailroads. His bond j| is fix ed at f50,0G0. The order appoint? ing Mr. Cleveland directs that he operate these Roads in connection with and ta part of the system of tbe Central Rail? road of Georgia, under the same officials . and 'employees of said Roads and such successors as may be mutually satisfac? tory to the Receiver hereby ap pointed ' and the Receiver of the Central Railroad of Georgia. Mr. Comer, the former <? Receiver, is directed to file his account B( with tho Clerk of the United States Dis | trict Court within forty days. It has been determined to have a grand .reunion oi the survivors of the Sixth ? South Carolina Cavalry at Greenwood on ; the Fourth of July, and tbe occasion will no doubt attract a large crowd of veter r ans- CoL J. B. Gordon, of Georgia, Col. frBobert Aldricb, who was Adjutant of the P&egiment, Col. L. P. Miller, of Newberry, and others have been invited to attend and deliver addresses. Special rates will he given by the, railroads, and every sec? tion of the State is likely to be represented, p-as the Regiment had members from nearly every County. The Greenville g^WfK*, in speaking of the reunion, says: i"Tb&Uct is, this regiment is yet in the ? service of tbe Confederate States, so far |as the records show. It left the army at Greensboro the night before theaufren dar and came through on its own hook, coyer surrendered and no man in it or has a parole. The reunion, how? ever, will be strictly peaceful and the purpose is to make it an entirely delight? ful gathering of old comrades." One of the dress reformers at the Women's Congress at Chicago, last week, declared that "wearing a bloomer cos? tume would enormously advance the spiritual and intellectual welfare of wo? men." As the principal thing about such a costume is its irredeemable ugliness, it is bard to see where it will affect either the spirit or the intellect. We cannot remember that the abhorrent pantaletts that the girls wore in our boyhood days made them more refined or brighter in intellect than the girls of to-day, who would rise in rebellion against such uncouth articles of wear. The fact is, the dress of the women of tbe present is attractive and beautiful, and a change to ugliness will never succeed until the sex loses some of the most gracious and charming qualities which distinguish them from the masculine. The remains of Jefferson Davis now rest in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, Va. On Tuesday of last week tbe train passed through this 'State, bearing the ashes of the great and much loved Presi? dent of the Confederacy to their last resting place. From New Orleans to Richmond, at almost every station, was an ovation that told of the love and res? pect the Southern people bear for their dead chieftain. The train passed Green? ville about 3 o'clock on Tuesday morning of last week, and, notwithstanding the time of night, a large crowd were at tbe depot to pay their last respect to Jefferson Davis. Addresses were made by Col. Hoyt, Capt. Mooney and others, and several ladies placed floral tributes on the casket. It is said that there was a car load of flowers placed on and around the coffin ere it reached Hollywood. The ceremonies at the grave were very appro? priate and Impressive. We are glad to see our people pay such a touching trib? ute to such a great man on the occasion of placing his remains in their final rest? ing place. _ The Richmond Dispatch says a man may have a million dollars locked up whilst his neighbors are as poor cs church mice. And if this per capita of currency were Increased to fifty dollars or a hun? dred dollars or a thousand dollars, the impecunious man would still have empty pockets and the millionaire would still have bis millions, as is abundantly illus? trated and proven by the fact that the Massachusetts per capita is at present about three hundred and fifty dollars and the North Carolina per capita only about six dollars, and yet there is more suffer? ing in Massachusetts than in North Caro? lina. The Star says truly that there are no two States in which the per capita is the same; and that the bulk of the cur? rency is monopolized by comparatively few persons, from whom others can get it only by paying interest. And this will forever remain true. The rich need no higher per capita. The poor cannot get a higher per capita. Money cannot be put into the pockets of those who need it by patting it into the pockets of those who do not need it. An Extra Session. Washington, June 5.?The President said this evening, in reply to a direct question by a representative of the Asso? ciated Press, that he intended to call an extra session of Congress not earlier than the 1st or later than the 15th of Sep? tember, unless some unexpected contin? gencies should necessitate an earlier meeting. The President further said: "While there has been no mystery nor secrecy in regard to my intention in this matter, I think it not amiss that oar peo? ple should be informed authoritatively that the time is at hand when their rep? resentatives in Congress will be called upon to deal with a financial condition which is the only menace to tbe country's welfare and prosperity. It is well for the people to take up the subject for them? selves aud arrive at "heir own conclusions as to the merits cr a financial policy which obliges us to purchase idle silver bullion with gold taken from oar reserve. One does not need the eye of a financier to see that this gold thus subtracted from the government's stock is eagerly seized by other nations for the purpose of strengthening their credit at our expense. "It does not need the art of statesman? ship to detec t the danger that awaits npon the continuance of this action. Already, the timidity of capital 1b painfully appa? rent and none of as fail to see that fear and apprehension in monetary circles will ultimately bring suffering to every hum? ble home in our land. "I think that between now and the meeting of Congress much depends upon the action of those engaged m financial operations and business enterprises. Our national resources and national credit are abundantly sufficient to justify them in the utmost faith and confidence. If, in? stead of being frightened, they are con? servative and contribute their share ol help and steadiness, tbey will perform a patriotic duty, and at the same time protect their own interests. The things jost now needed are coolness and calm? ness in financial circles and sturdy re? flection among our people. The State Whiskey Store. Columbia, May 31.?Have you ever thought what a big thing the proposed dispensary is to be ? Tbe question is whether the parties in control have not mistaken the liquor consuming capacity of the people of the State. Just look at the plans of the dispensary and draw conclusions as to the prohibition inten? tions of the authorities. Does it not look like a good money-making scheme? Yet with all of the preparations and rules and regulations ?hat have been issued, it is claimed that the law was passed by tbe Prohibitionists, The supply of liquor that was being hauled into the dispensary to-day ought to supply the demand for some time, but the officials in charge think differently. The present supply is regarded'as simply a "starter," Here area few figures that will bo interesting to Prohibitionists jost at this time: The dispensary is now receiving by every train installments of tbe 1,050 barrels of "stuff" ordered from the Mill Creek Distilling Company. This liquor will easily average 45"gallons to tbe bar? rel and at $2 a gallon, which is considered low, this particular order amounts to $90,000. Rather a snug amount of liquor! Then therein understood to be six car? loads of boor on tbe road, which will get here by the 20th of Jane. Each car will average 120 casks, and listing them at $9 per cask the sample order of beer will make $6,480. Then the lovers of corn have to be looked after, and tbey will have an order of, say 400 barrels ot good pure corn juice. Taking the same aver? ages as to the price and quantity as given for the rye, and the corn will cosU$36,000. So it will be seen that these "staples" in the liquor business will run up a bill of ?132,480. There is no guessing about these fig ares. It will be seen that there are no allowances made for ram, wines, gins, or any of the many other varieties of liquors for which there are sure to be plenty of calls, that is if there are any at all. Now these figures give some definite idea of tbe hopes of the dispensary. It mav be added that most of tho orders that are now being given are in the nature of trial orders. Commissioner Traxler is hard at work getting everything in shape for the "grand opening" and expects to be able to supply all orders as promptly as they are received. Up to tbe present none of the county boards have officially elected the county dispensers. About tbe only dispenser who seems to be any way certain of his position is Mr. Hill, of Abbeville.?Special 4o News and Courier. Downfall of a Prominent Preacher. Batesville, Ajrk., June 5.?Rev. R. S. Doener, pastor of the Methodist church of this city, was arrested at Newport, yesterday, for forgery. The series of crimes with which he is charged are of a most startling nature. Deener is the most popular minister in the White Riv? er conference, of which be has been sec? retary for two years. He has also been frand prelate of the Arkansas Grand lodge of Knights Templar, and for two years president of tbe State Sunday School Association. His best friends and most prominent members of the church suffer by his criminality. His plan was to put up forged notes as collateral for loans and give mortgages on land and cotton he did not own. lie will be brought back for trial. ?A sixteen-year-old daughter of Amos Archer, in Wayne county, Virginia, at? tempted to drink a quart of whiskey and died in a few hojjjrs, Fatal Wreck Near Columbia. Columbia, S. C, June2.?A furious rain storm generally prevailed through? out this State last night and washouts are reported on different lines of railroads. Mixed train No. 9 coming south on the Richmond & Danville railroad when three miles south of Ridgeway at 3 o'clock this morning ran into a washout about a hundred feet wide and Engineer Jack Germany and Fireman T. D.Henry were instantly killed. The washout occurred on what was considered a par? ticularly fine stretch of read, there being a stone culvert at the place filled in with rock, and it bad stood Heverest storms heretofore. The train wan badly wreck? er?, going down an embankment twenty feet.. Express Messenger Holmes, who is badly bruised, is the only other person hurt. The tender turned bottom side up toward the engine, turning the engineer around with his back to tbe front of the ongine, penning him between the boiler head and tender. His hands were thrown up in front of his face. His face was crushed in and scalded. Fireman HeLry was found with his bead almost in the furnace door and pierced through the bead by an iron rod. Both men were badly blackened and evidently died in? stantly.__ Who Wil;. Beard the Lien ? Columbia, May 30.?The eyes of the publio seem to be directed towards the railroad corporations to see what they are going to do about tbe dispensary law. Nobody seems to know exactly what is likely to be done, and that makes it all the more interesting. The counsel for the various corporations have not yet come to any definite conclusions as to what they will say when their profes? sional opinions are solicited. This morn? ing one of the leading railroad counsel in tbe State said that tbe corporation be represented had not yet asked his opin? ion, bat that he expected to be asked at almost any moment. For tbe present, in consequence, he was only giving his "curbstone" opinion, and that was that any public carrier that refused to accept a shipment of liquor from any one out? side of the State and consigned to parties in South Carolina would bo liable for damages, and that he would probably so advise bis company. He would also advise, if asked, that tbe company cannot legally handle any goods from one place to another within the borders of the State when the original place of shipment was not outside of the State line. If the State would agree to stand all suits for damages ho supposed that the roads would agree not to handle whiskey offer? ed by shippers outside of the State, but if the State would not go that far, then it appeared to him that tbe roads would have to paddle their own canoe and look after their own interest and give careful consideration to tbe possibilities of losses by suits for damages. The indications, however, are that every road wants the other road to be tbe one to make tbe test in the Courts. One thing seems to be pretty well settled and it is that no one wants to handle shipments within tbe State. The general consensus of opinion, however, is that tbe roads cannot refuse a shipment offered outside of the State as long as the State itself is engaged in the liquor business.'?Special to News and Courier. Home Mews at Washington. Washington, June 3.?Senator Butler ia back from New York, and during the next week be will be busier than at any time since President Cleveland came in, trying to secure minor government places for his constituents. W. O. Bradley arrived to-day, and will stand his examination Monday for the post of a chief of division in the Second Auditor's division. Col. J. Stobo Far? row, the Second Auditor,, left yesterday for Ga?hey. S. C, and will bring bis family with him on his return. Ben Perry will leave for home to-mor? row morning. His application for tbe collectors hip is in the bands of Mr. But? ler, who will file it Monday morning. It is the heaviest endorsed application from South Carolina, despite the fact that Irby's and oilman's names do not ap? pear onjt Here are some of the Carolinians who stand a good showing of receiving ap? pointments : F. C. Canghman, of Lex? ington, is strongly backed for a door? keeper's place in the Senate; Mr. Armstrong, brother-in-law of "Citizen" Joshua A, Ashley, of Anderson, has the promise of a door-keeper's place in one of the departments,' A. S. Miller, of Abbeville, is well fixed for aolerkship in tbe Land Commissioner's office ; A. S. Scruggs, of Greenville, has been deolared eligible for bis old place as postoffice inspector, and is strongly recommended ; J. W. Swink, of Union, brother-in-law to W. S. Gray, who entertained Irby and Tillman last Christmas, is promised a good place iia one of the dspartments, being endorsed by Senator Butler; Ira McDavid, of Greenville, has made appli? cation for a place in the public printing office, and is endorsed by Senator Butler. These candidates, while they repre? sent both tbe Conservative and "Re? form" iactions are endorsed by Senator Butler, and it will be through him if tbey secure positions. Senator Butler refuses to say anything about whom be has not endorsed but tbe above applicants' chances are said at the various departments to be good.?Special to Columbia State, A Desperado Killed. George Hunt, a notorious desperado of this county, was arrested in Golden Val? ley township, Rutherford county, Wed? nesday after a bloody battle with the posae that was after him. Hunt was desperately wounded, being shot in sev- j eral places, one thigh bone being shatter? ed by a rifle ball. Hunt is wanted on a number of grave charges. About a year ago he was con? victed in tbe superior court of York county, S. C, of a murderous assault and sentenced to a year in the penitentiary, but escaped from jail by breaking out through tbe roof. He went up into the mountains of Rutherford county and engaged in blockade stilling. He soon became a terror to the law abiding people around him, successfully eluding or inti? midating parties sent to arrest him. Some weeks ago he came back to his old home in this oounty, and tried to persuade his wife to follow him into the mountains, and when she refused, took forcible possession of tbeir two children and carried them out. At tbe last term of Rutherford superior court, in April, Judge Arm field issued a writ of habeas corpus for tbe children and a bench war? rant for Hunt. The processass were placed in the bauds of determined officers, who recovered i.be children, finding them concealed in a stump in the "Lane settle? ment," as noted in the Review at the time, but Hunt soapd. On Wednesday Deputy Sheriffs Getty, Robertson and Jos. Hodge ccme up with Hunt in Golden Valley township. When summoned to surrender Hunt, who was armed witb a rifle and pistols, levelled his rifle at tbe officers ana fired, the ball narrowly missing Hodge's head. The officers returned tbe fire and Hunt fell, desoerately wounded. He was then taken to Rutherford and lodged in jail, w here he is rpoiving the best medical attention. His condition is critical and he will probably die.? Shelby, N. G, Review. Governor Flower Talks of >80. Chicago, June 2.?Governor Flower has been enlightening the Wentern poli? ticians on tbe relations of Mr. Cleveland with Tammany. He said : "Last fall Tammany Hall carried New York State for Mr. Cleveland. In the preceding campaign the organization, which represeuts 3,500 comraitteemen. met and cast a unanimous ballot for David B. Hill to be the nominee for President. Tammany Hall and nearly all of the workers for tbe Democratic party in New York State did not think it wise to nominate Mr. Cleveland, but after his nomination in Chicago last June every man in Tammany's ranks gave him his earnest support. "I know of no true Democrat in the State of New York who does not to-day give the President his heartiest support. It there is any dissatisfaction in the rank and file of Tammany I cannot place it. We are every one of us Clevelaud men, and shall be united in support ol him until tbe end of his term, and probably after its expiration if he is again made the leader of his party in another cam? paign. "There is no reasou why Mr. Cleveland should not be the nominee of the party in 1S9?. One Presidential term has inter? vened between his administrations. It would take another term before he had served two consecutive terms. If in lS'JG Mr. Cleveland desires the nomination of his party no man can successfully stand in his way. At the present time 1 do not know of any aspirants for Presidential honors in the party."?New York World. ?

Rev. M. L. Gate?, of Grace M. E. Church in this city, ha; started a crusade against candy and has warned the parents of his con? gregation against letting their children eat it. He says that the Prohibitionists should inscribe on their banners and pledges ; "Abstinence from ram, tobacco, and candy." "Thousands of little children die an? nually of confectionery diseases," says Dr. Gales, *'and I firmly believe that when the parents of little children once learn tho gigantic evils contained in con? fectionery and tbe incurable barm it entails and the many little graves dug by it ard the multitude of children it renders weak and puny, they will quickly enlist in the ranks against the candy shop. "I firmly believe that next to the rum shop tbe candy shop causes more deaths than any other form of dissipation. The caudy habit is a terrible one. Hundreds of childi en are continualy eating candy, and it is a matter of medical record tbat it has caused thousands of deaths. Tbe consumption of too much sugar, either in ordinary food or in confectionery, causes fermentation of tbe blood, and tbat, as is well known to medical men, brings on diseases wbich are often incurable, Hun? dreds of ohildren die of troubles attribut? ed to something else, which are, in fact, due to :.be consumption of too much sugar in confectionery." To Save His Fathes's Farm. St. Lo jis, June 3.?Samuel A. Wilson, the lone robber who held up and robbed tbo Pacific express car attached to the west bound Missouri Pacific train, near Pacific, Mo., on tbe night of May 24, was captured at tbe home of his parents last night, near Lebanon, Mo. Wilson has made a clean confession. He said that he robbed the express car in order to se? cure mor ey with which to pay a mort? gage on bis father's farm. When asked wby it was that bo left bis valise, wbicb was a key to his capture, noar the robbery he said :" "It was my intention to bring the train to a halt where the vr.lise had been placed by me. I could notguage exactly where the train was, owing to the light shat was coming from the cab, of the engine. I thought that I was at the place where my valise was, but I afterwards found that I was mistaken. Consequently, after I finished the job, I made has'.e to get away. I am now satis? fied to go to the penitentiary, as I intend to plead guilty. I want to leatn a better trade than that'of telegraphing for mak? ing a livlihood, and it is for this reason that I want to go to the penitentiary." In reference to tbe money dumped in a cornfield near the scene of the robbery, Wilson ssys be had placed It there for the purpose of securing hi m a lighter sentence in case be was captured, Wilson was formerly emploj'ed as a telegraph operator along the ltue of the St. Louis und Francisco Railroad. Big Cotton Crop In Texas. Houston, Texas, June 3.?General rains have fallen in the past thirty-six hours throughout Texas. These raias came just in timo to do cotton tho most good, and should the weather prove favorable during tho remaindor of the season the largest yield of cotton ever known ir. tho history of the Suite is assured. The increase in acreage is from 10 to 15 per cent greater than that of last year. With increased acreage and favor? able conditions the now prevailing indi? cations are that Texas will produce from 2,500,000 to 2,756,000 bales. ? A fanner, speaking of a former hired man in his employ, remarked quietly j "He's a pretty good sort of a follow, John is, but bo'fi a little sort of dull?a little dull." After a moment's furthor thought ha continued: "It may bo necessary to explain that a bit.. I'll tell you how 'tis with htm. I had a pretty nice patch of onions growing, but they stood a little thick together aud needed thinning out. So I told John ho might do it, He work? ed away at it for a day or so and then I wont out to soe how he was getting along. T found he had pulled up all the biggost ones aud thrown thorn away, leaving only the smallest plants in tho rows. I asked him what in creation ho had pulled out all tho host ones for, and ho said 'twas to give tho little fellows a chance, 'cos tho big ones had crowded thorn and thoj' couldn't grow. A little dull, John is, a little dull." 1 COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. Bruwn Scholarships at the North Georgia Agricultural College.

We have had a big rain, which washed the fields very much. Wo were glad to see tbe rain, as tbe crops were needing iL Mr. Alph Moore wears a broad cud happy smile. It is a fine girl. He sad? dled his mule and went to town to toll his papa. The wheat crop is getting ready for the harvester, and we are not sorry of It, for we certainly do waut some biscuits to eat. Mr. J. M. Alewine passed through our section the other day on bis way to visit his brother near Due West. He certainly got water bound before he got back home. Well, Mr. Editor, commencement time will soon be here. Come down to see us, and we will feed you on beans and attend tbe commencement. We are glad to note that the health of Mrs. Callaham is improving. A pic nie is being talked of at the old mill place in the near future. Prepare for it, ladies. Mr. John D. Alewine surely has plenty of good coru bread and hominy at his house, as ho seuds four or five bushels of coru to the mill every week. Farmer Boy. Guyton Sifting*. Not having much news for this week, Messrs. Editors, we desire to make a few remarks in behalf of the boy who lives on the farm. It is not infrequent to hear a farmer say : "I do wish my boys would be con? tent to live on tbe farm. I don't see why they have such a hankering for city life, and are so dissatisfied on the farm, any? way." This and like statements are made by farmers every day. Tbe reason to me is very apparent. The most of them have no showing on the farm what? ever. If you ask a farmer bow much mouey he gives his boys per year, nine cases out of ten twenty-five dollars will cover tbe amount named. With this small allowance the boy has got to clothe himself, and what boy is it that don't like to have a little spending money to call his own ? There is going to be a fishing party on the creek or a picnic on the river, but the corn needs boeing or the cotton plowing, and, of course, tbe boy has to stay at home and do that, however much he would like to go to tbe picnic. On Sunday of course "the stock is too tired from tbe previous week's work to be driven to church or Sunday School; besides, it is only two or three miles, and the boys can walk that dis? tance; I walked four or five miles when I was a boy." Should you stay and lis? ten, he would go on making excuses and suggestions by tbe dozen. If you ask him about reading matter, he will tell you they take the County paper, or prob? ably one of theSoutheru weeklies, which they will tell you is too much for the boys to read ; they don't have time, and besides, it might give them a taste of the outside world, and have a tendency to make them dissatisfied with their sur? roundings. This being the case no won? der by the time the boy is twenty-one he is thoroughly disgusted with rural life, and is ready to go anywhere or do any? thing to get away from the farm. They don't stop to enquire tbe reason, but want a remedy, which is simply this: Give the boys a chance on the farm ; let him have Borne money, or something that will bring money, to call bis own ; learn him the value of it, and bow to use it to the best advantage. Give him plenty of good literature, subscribe for one or two good family magazines, throw in with this some* good religious reading matter, let him keep up with tbe world and its do? ings, give him some leisure time, and teach him bow to use it, don't encourage idleness, and, my word for It, your boys will be more than willing to stay on the farm, unless they show great talent for something else. This being the case, don't try to stop thorn, but on tbe other hand, encourage them all you can in the occupation which tbey feel is suited to their tastes. Our little city boasts a man with the greatest presence of mind on record. He fainted in the field the other day, and was telling his friends about it later, when one of them asked him how long he remained in this condition before re? covering, replied that there was a negro boy present and he (the man who fainted) told bim to throw water in bis' face. Ask Bud about it?he can tell you. Plenty of rain, cherries and flies, Watchman. JSeulak Items. Well, what a glorious time it is! All vegetation seems to be thriving and every? body you meet has a glowing counte? nance. Surely the face of tbe Lord is upon us this beautiful June morning. A beautiful rain has fallen and corn and cot ton are doing its very best. Everybody is getting a fine start on the farm on ac? count of the favorable weather. Wheat is very fine so far. Oat crops are looking promising. We have Been more fine watermelon patches this year than in several years previous. Come around, Mr. Editor, when melons get ripe and we will set you up to a fine mess and will carry you around to see some of our good neighbors and Intelligencer readers. Mr. Editor, I am glad we can boast of one thing in our community, and that is true morality. A young man doesn't have to become a profaner, dram-drinker or cigarette smoker to become a gentleman in tbe eyes of our people, but rather he has to be minus these qualities. Oh ! that our enlightened and christianized American people would abandon the idea of substituting wickedness for wit. Wa were glad to see our honored old friends, Mr. and Mrs J. C. Smith, able to be at Church last Sunday. Mrs. Smith has been ill for some time, but has recov? ered and returned to her Sunday School class. How glad the little boys are to see ber come back. Children's Day was observed at this place on the second Sunday ult. A large and attentive congregation was present and seemed to enjoy the day very much. Rev. Geo. M. Boyd preached a most in? teresting sermon at this place last Sunday. Mr. C. B. Smith has about the finest Siece of oats we have seen this season. t. Smith is a prosperous young farmer, and does bis work in systematical order. We feel honored to utate that we have beard two most excellent sermons preach? ed by Rev. D. W. Hiott, of Williamston, recently, one of which was preached at Beaverdam at the last Union Meeting. His text was, "Like as a Father pitieth bis children so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him"?Psalms 103, 13. The other was delivered at Piegah on the second Sunday ult. Mr. Hiott is a man of great intellect and delivers his sermons with great emphasis and power. Our Sabbath School at this place is still flourishing, and our Sunday night prayer meeting is well attended. Neither Sun? day School or prayer meeting has at any time went into winter quarters or vacated since organized, which was about six years ago. We see some of our farmers have been in the apiary robbery recently, which proves to be very rich this season. The health of our community at present is excellent, and we boys are looking for? ward to the fine fruit harvest. Mr. Editor, this will give you a synop? sis of the news for this time, and unless I close shortly your correspondent's noc? turnal rest will be greatly amputated. With my hat off and hands up in honor to the Intelligencer and all Its readers, I remain Abe Stubbins. Alice Dots, Mr. J. O. MoAdam's pasture fence was set on fire by some low down scoundrel. 8. O. Jackson, Esq., has built a new bridge at Milford's upper mill on Rocky River. A certain young man has been to see his best girl every Suuday, except three, since Christmas. Mr. Jesse McAdama and Frank Smith were down last week on a courting ex? pedition. Mr. B. H. wont to see his best girl a fow nights ago and lost his saddle. Walk next time, B. Well, wo have something to tell tho Fork girls. Wo heard two young men say they wero going to the Fork next Saturday. So put the big pot in tho little one, and kill tho fatted calf. Miss Ella McAdams is going to Char? leston this wook. A certain girl in this vicinity says she can talk to seven boys and read a news? paper, all at the same time. "More rain more rest?more rain more grass," said the old darkoy. Two young men went to see one girl last Sunday, and both ol tbe boys went to sleep while the young lady prepared dinner. When dinner was ready she ate and let tho boys sleep, so they missed their dinner. Say, boys, next time put a biscuit in your pocket. Mr. C. II. Bailey has bought a new en? gine for his gin. When you want your life insured call on J. B. McAdams; he represents one of the beri, companies. Grass first, grass last. Jinks. Iola Dots. Mr. Editor: 8ome time has elapsed since I gave you any news from this sec? tion. The health of this section is very good at this t.me, with the exception of Mrs. Jep tha Harper. The farmers of this section are well up with their work. Cotton is about all thin? ned, and is looking well. Mr. J. H. Hutchinson has the finest field of cum and Mr. B. L. Baruett the fittest field of wheat I have seen. We are having an abundance of rain at this writing, and if it continues to rain much more the farmers will have a fine time fighting "General Green." Mr. Editor, we have a flourishing Sun? day-School at this place, which has been organized about a month with Mr. John Wilson as Superintendent. He ia the right man in tbe right place. Mr. Editor, don't forget tbe closing ex? ercises of the Lebanon High School on the 20: h inst. The public is invited. I see tbat a great many of your corres? pondents have a great deal to say about the dispensary, but I am one that is not going to have anything to say about it. What has become ol your correnpondent, ''Old Eyes," of Lowndesville? Has he perished or has he died a natural death? News is scarce? Bluk Bird. Cedar Grove Items, A very heavy rain foil in this section on the 1st inst. A little cloud camo up in tho West and it seemed to lot loose and pour out. Wo never saw more wa? ter fall in tho samo length of time. It must have been a water spout or cloud burst. The land was badly washod in places. Rev. L. M. Harris and wife visited Pel zor last Saturday and Sunday. We hear more or less begging every Sunday in behalf of missionary work. That is all right, but we have a fow heathen, we are sorry to say, in this neighborhood. Yes, we know of a few families living in the neighborhood of Cedar Grove who havn't been to preach? ing, Sunday School or prayer meeting in twelve months. We have no doubt some of our neighbors will deny this, but let them stop and think, and we venture they will locate them right in our midst. Dr. A. L. Copeland passed through our section last week selling medicines. Ho is just starting out and we wish him suc? cess. The Debating Society has gone into summer quarters. Mr. M. C. Mahaffey and wife visited Mr. J. B, Vaughn last Sunday. Mr. Bay Iis Kelly is improving the looks of his house by tb'e addition of a portico. We would like to see the correspon? dents of the county papers have a meet? ing this Summer, and suggest William? stonus tbe place. We will announce next week who have been elected town officers. It is said there are 21 candidates for mayor. Grit. News Paragraphs. ? Mrs. Jefferson Davis intends to make Richmond her future home. ?

What are you going to do in the matter? Let your fruit fall and rot on the ground and buy of your neigh? bor or grocer ? No! You can't af? ford it.
