Mrs. Grant rand Mrs. Davis have never met but once since the war, and then only for a mo? ment at asocial function in New York got up for the purpose of bringing them together.

EXTREMELY SMALL, - -It has always been the custom of Con? gressmen to notify the yonng men of their districts of the time and. place for the competitive examinations for scholar? ships at West Point. The new Congressman from this dis? trict did not send a notice of this kind to the Observer this year, because no doubt the Observer ia not one of his or? gans. It shows a contemptible spirit, entirely beneath a Congressman, and asmallness that we should not have believed Mr. Latlraer wonld have been guilty of. We understand the examination has been held and the scholarship awarded.? NewberryrGbserver. The Intelligencer was served in the same way, Brother Wallace, and we ven? ture if you will inquire around yon will find that, with the exception of the or? gans, no paper in the Congressional Dis? trict was furnished with the information But we are not surprised at this, for we have known the Congressman a long time.' He Is a very small man mentally, and is capabV. of doing just such: things. Before hege" trough. his term in Con? gress, a maj ' of his constituents throughout the h.. Act will realize, too, that he is "extremely small." CONFEDERATE VETERANS. The United Confederate Veterans will hold its fourth annual Reunion at .Bir? mingham, Ala., on July 19th and 20th next. This organization was formed on Jons 10th, 1889, by electing Gen. John B. Gordon, of Georgia, General Command? ing, and now has nearly three hundred local camps, scattered through seventeen States and Territories. The objects of the organization are explained in. an address issued by Gen. Gordon, as fol? lows: The object and purposes of this organi? zation will be strictly social, literary, historical and benevolent It will en? deavor* to unite in a general led aration all Associations of the Confederate yeterans, soldiers and sailors now in existence or hereafter to be formed; to gather authen? tic data'for an impartial history of the war between the States; to preserve the relics of mementoes of the same; 1* cherish the ties of friendship that should exist among the men who have shared common dangers, common sofiering and privations; to care for the disabled and extend a helping hand to the needy; to protect the. widow and orphan and to make and preserve the record ol the Ser? vices oi every member, as far as possible, of those of our comrades who have pre? ceded us In eternity." In a letter from Gen. Geo. Mo er man, Adjutant General and Chief of Staff, New Orleans, La., be asks tbo Intelligencer to call the attention of the old soldiers in this section to the organization, and urge them to organize local camps in this County. Fifteen to twenty-five mem? bers will bo sufficient for a camp. We think the organization is a good one, and we hope the veterans of Anderson County will meet at once and form Camps in various sections. Any details or infor? mation desired, copies of constitution or blanks wanted, will be promptly furnish? ed by applying to Gen. Moorman, New Orleans, La. By prompt action there is plenty of time to organize the Camps, and as. many of the veterans who desire to attend the reunion at Birmingham, aa Camps or their representatives,'will be admitted up to the d%y of the meeting. . At the conclusioa cf the reunion it Is proposed to run on excursion from Bir? mingham, via Tarions Northern prisons, to Chicago, where the veterans can spend four days viewing the World's -Fair, and also be present at the unveiling at Chicago of the first Confederate monument ever erected upon Northern soil, a ten days' trip for only $10.00 from Birmingham. All members of the Camps and their wives, sons and daughters pan participate In the excursion. For the accommodation of those wish? ing, to attend' the re-union from this County, the R. & D. B. B. has arranged to soil round trip tickets from Anderson to Birmingham for one n. rat-class rare for the round trip, which is $9.55. Tickets will be on sale July 17th to 19th inclu? sive, and limited to return until July 26th. mlmmmmimm^mmmmmmimmu Clemson College diets a Head. After much deliberation the board of trustees of Clemson College has at last succeeded in selecting a president for that institution. The successful man la Prof. E. B. Craighead, of Wofford College, Spartanburg, one of the ablest young educators in this section of the South, judging from what those who know him have to say. . He was selected on the firs', ballot at the last meeting of the trustees. The meeting was held at Clemson Col? lege on Wednesday evening. All the members were present, as were most of the candidates for the presidency. The new president is said to be exceed? ing bright, possessing a good executive mind as well as ability as an instructor. He was born upon a farm in Missouri. He had great ambition, and being a hard student, fought the educational battle in the academic schools of his native State and In Kentucky. Then he went for threeyears to Emory College in Virginia, where he graduated. After some teach? ing in the publio schools he became a Srofeeaor in Vanderbilt University in enneasee. Shortly afterwards he went ' to Europe and remained three years studying in the University of Paris and at Leipslc Upon bis return to this country be went to Vanderbilt Univer? sity, and was still there when elected in 1890 to the chairs of Greek and German in Wofford College, Here he bos been von jucoessful. He Is now In the prime of manhood, being only thirty-four years of age. The board think they have secured the right man in the right place, and expect much from Professor Craighead. He Will baldly have time for much teaching at Clemson, but will probably take the chair of Greek. He will not -assume the duties of his office, the Governor says, ' till July 6, the day for the opening of the college. The board found the work on the buildings at Clemson progressing well, and say everything will be in readiness by the time of the opening. Professor Stonewall Tompklns, of Virginia, recent? ly elected assistant professor of mechani? cal, civil and electrical engineering, has arrived at the institution. Present indications are that the college > wlL open with 457 young men enrolled. The trustees will not meet again till July 5.?Columbia State, June 5, A Seismic YfsIUtlOB, Charleston, S. C, June 20.?A very Eerceptible shock of earthquake was felt ere to-night at 11:06 o'clock. The shake was immediately preceded by a low, rumbling noise, all too familiar to the ears of Charleston people, recalling the Slstof August, 1886. The vibrations were from east to west, and lasted several seconds. Tall buildings v/ere shaken up considerably, and although no damage is reported up to this time (11:55 p.m.,) the people are somewhat excited, espe? cially the colored population. Savannah, Go., June 20.?A distinct earthquake shock was felt here at 11:03 o'clock to-night. The vibrations lasted about four seconds, and the movement was from south to north. There was no rumble, hut heavy vibrations. Tall buildings shook perceptibly and windows rattled. There was considerable excite? ment, but no damage is reported. ? Wilminoxqn, N. C, June 20.?There was an earthquake shock here at 11:15 o'clock to-night, lasting but a few seconds. Hundreds of people were aroused from their sleep, and many rush , ed in terror into the streets, Blackville, S. C, June 20.?.Quite a severe earthquake shook was Celt here to-night at 11:03. It lasted for about one minute, awakening many people from their slumber. No damage was done. Balberg, S. C, June 20.?A distinct and heavy earthquake shock was felt here at 11:10 to-night. No damage done. Augusta, Ga? June 20.?A slight earthquake shock, of abont one second's duration, was felt here to-night. [Dispatches were received by the Slate last night from various points throughput Sooth Carolina, all of the same general tenor as above?the shock was distinctly felt about 11:03, but in no instance is any domago reported^ PROHIBITION X1NIFESTO. Tb? State Committee to the People of tlie State. The promised address of the State exe? cutive committee of the prohibitionists -was issued on Snnday last, and is as fol? lows: To the People of the State : In reviewing the work of the State pro? hibition executive committee whioh en? ded with the passage of the dispensary law, I had the honor to address tbem a communication which was published in the daily papers on the 8th of February, in which I ventured to suggest that in the event of the law going into effect in spite of the elements of opposition which it had evoked "it becomes the duty of prohibitionists to aid in every proper ?way the enforcement of the law against violations, thus making effective as far as practicable, the good feature in the law. To do this will require that our organization as a committee, and that of the county organizations which were so successful in the last campaign, should be maintained and strengthened, having also in view the securing of snob, legis? lation in the future as shall eventually rid onr State of the curse of the liquor traffic." In accordance with this suggestion a meeting of the executive committee and other prohibitionists was held in Colum? bia June 9th, and a committee was then organized to be known as the State Cen? tral Prohibition Committee, for the pur? pose indicated in the said suggestion. The committee thus organized, in? structed its chairman to prepare and issue a communication to the people of the ! State, setting forth the purposes, and in obedience to that request; and as repre? senting the views of the committee this paper is submitted. . The effort has been industriously and persistently made in some quarters to create the impression that the prohibi? tionists who do not favor the dispensary, have allied themselves with the saloon element and those who oppose the pres? ent State administration, with the purpose of establishing of dispensaries and ob? structing the operation of the law when it does go into effect. It would seem hardly necessary to say that the Imputation is utterly baseless, or to reiterate the. denial which was pub? licly made in the first suggestion of this charge, in the communication from which the foregoing extract is made. It is untrue now as it was when first made ' and can have no' application to the class of .prohibition it is. represented by this committee. We reaffirm the principles and pur? poses set. forth in the platform of the convention of prohibitionists which met in Columbia May 28th, 1892, and inaugu? rated the prohibition movement as ex? pressed in the following.passage. "We therefore earnestly favor, and will work for the enactment of such laws as-will prohibit tho manufacture and sale of in? toxicating liquors as a beverage in onr State:" And as distinctly affirming the non factional features of the movement "Wo cordially invite the co-operation of all Democrats in this laudible effort for State prohibition irrespective of their opinions on other issues as already made up in this State." r We occupy today the same ground that, in view of the universally recognized evils to scolety resulting from the sale of intoxicants as a beverage, it is a great i wrong for the State to legalize such traffic I and it is the imperative duty of good citi? zenship to discharge and prevent it in all the ways by which the influence social, political and moral can be brought to bear upon it. ' The principle of prohibition is too well established to be successfully chal? lenged by intelligent men at this late day. j.tis .the basis of every law by whioh society seekB to regulate the con? duct of its members, and the power "to command what is right and prohibit . what is wrong" is essential to its very ex? istence. We are therefore acting strictly within ? the line of the best citizenship in seeking to secure legislation which will save our? selves and fellow-citizens from the "wrongs" of the liquor traffic, v While -holding firmly to onr vie ws on this subject we nave had careful regard for the opinions of those who differed with us and have ever repudiated the use of Intolerant, extreme or unfair meth? ods to secure our ends. .' We have declined to countenance the organization of a separate party or fac? tion in this State, or to unite ' with any party outside of the State for the purpose of aserting the, doctrines we hold on the subject, because we believe it Is perfect? ly consistent with the fealty to either ex? isting faction of the Democratic party here, to maintain these views without affecting our relations to either as Demo? crats. The correctness of our position was fully recognized by the party in the last campaign, which fn full view of the na? ture of thejquestion, we were allowed to test the strength of our views, by a vote of the party at its regularly appointed primary election by the same means by whioh all other issues were settled at that time. The, result of that test is well known, and fully justified onr confidence In what was the sentiment of the majori' ty of our voters on the subject, and should be aooepted by all true Democrats as conclusive. It can be regarded Inno other light than a command by the peo? ple, by their representatives chosen at- that election to J enforce tbeir will thus expressed by proper prohibitory legislation. , The logical effect of that eleotion was to declare that "prohibition" as affirmed by the prohibitionists in convention and settled by a majority vote in the Demo c-alio primary was a plank in the plat? form of the party which must remain of force'"unt;l abrogated by the action of the party as such, The dispensary law Is not the legislation demanded by tho > vote of the people. On the contrary it is the expression of opposition to prohibition as set forth in the "Roper Bill" passed by the Blouse and Is distinctly and avow? edly a law for the sale of intoxicants as a beverage and a substitute for prohibition. For this reason it cannot be acceptable to those who look to prohibition as the only remedy. We are not prepared to assert that there is no good in the dispensary ja? or that in its operation it may not prove to be a step in tbe direction of prohibition, but we affirm a proposition, the truth of which must be patent to both friends and foes of the measure, that without tbe dis? pensary it will prove a good prohibition law, while with a dispensary there is no prohibition. The dispensary it is true closes the saloops and clubs and rids us of many pernicious and corrupting influences social, political and moral, which they engender, but it provides another way by which liquor is sold as a beverage and tbe work of demoralization is perpetua? ted. Prohibition not only oloses tbe saloons but stops the sale of liquor as a beverage thus reaching the evil at its source. The dispensary aot not only falls to stop the sale of intoxicants, but with every package which it stamps and de? livers to the dispenser to be sold as proper and good for use as a beverage, it sets the seal of condemnation on the pub? lic sentiment, which has long since by the restrictive and prohibitive conditions which is imposed on the liquor'traffic, marked it as a business daugerous and pernicious to society. Qur convictions compel us to the con? clusion that all trarhc in liquor as a beverage is wrong and hurtful to tbe best interests of our people, and that only the legal prohibition of ouch traffic promises any appreciative abatement of ijip eyils whioh flow from it, Therefore, under a pressing sense of duty to ourselves and those who are to come behind us, we ate boond to continue the fight in which we are engaged as long as tbe evil exists or there 1b a promise of ultimate success. This is the purpose of our organization, and we earnestly call upon all who value the right and would aid in preserving our houses from tbe curse of this des? troyer to help us by their influence, their prayers and tbeir co-operation.

Crops were ruined over a large tract, As the storm approached Atlauta many became frightened and ran to cellars. Two hundred people collected under tbe new Forsythe Btreet iron bridge for safety. The cloud split on the western edge'of the city and passed to the north and south, unroofing small buildings and destroying tolephonic communication. Augusta, Ga., June 22.?A terrific wind and rain storm visited Ellenton, S. C, last night, which blew down tbe Baptist churob, which was dedicated last March, and the roof of a house was taken off. Great damage was dono to corn and othar crops. It was the severest storm ever seen in that section by the oldest inhabitants. Topkka, Kans., June 22.?About 7 o'clock last night one of tbe worst torna? does that ever visited Kansas swept over a section of country in the Kansas River i \ al ey, twenty miles east of Topeka, one I mil s wide and six'miles long, completely destroying every bouse, fence and build? ing and killing instantly fifteen people.

Eva Kincaide'B bead was severed from her body. Samuel Stewart and L. M. Grimes, were carried ihre3 hundred yards in different direc? tions and mutilated almost beyond recog? nition. Stewart's body was cut in two as if by the stroke of a great knife. Alter the storm had passed last night the |>eople of Perry and Lawrence were summoned to tbe scene. The demolition was awful, and tbe hunt with lanterns over the wind-swept Bpot for the dead and dying was commenced. All night long this work was in progress. A :orps of physicians from two towns was quartered at Perry, two miles dis? tant, administering to the wants of tbe crippled and maimed, while citizens from the towns were gathering the dead and dyin ; from the prairies and laying them ent in a large building provided lor that purpose. It was 1 o'clock in the aftor noou before all the dead bodies were found. The strip of country swept by the oy clone is as bare as a floor. In Williams town school house were found the dead bodies of the Kincaide family, consisting of the father, mother and four children. '-The youngest child is without its head, it being blown or out off and carried away by tie wind. One of the children was found three miles from the house.

Greenville Mountaineer, 1 LlQOAJU news, COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. Townville IiOcals, Mies Beulah Dickson, of Sonth Union, is visiting her grand mother, Mrs. Sarah McUarley, t.bls week. Mr. B. B Harris, of Anderson, 8. C, Is visiting relatives in and around Townville this week. We had a considerable storm in our little village on last Thursday. It blowed down a thirty-foot smokestack for Mr. J. T. Gainee, also the shelter which was over bis mills. Mr. J. A. Gain es was under tbe Rbelter a minute before tbe crash came, but luckily be escaped without ibjury. Tbe contractors for tearing down and rebuilding Earle's Bridge, are going right along with tbe work. The people of tbe Fork in going to Anderson C. H. travel by tbe way of Sloan's Ferry. Why don't more correspondents express themselves about the meeting? I would say that any date will suit me. "Old Rosin De Bow" is always ready. Mrs.-Elizabeth Bruce applied tbe sheep sorrel and sugar to her cancer again, and it appears to be healing up. Mrs. Caroline Swilling is still very sick and is growing weaker every day.. Mr. Furman McLeskey, the young man whose disease puzzles all the doctors, we are sorry to say, is no better. Mr. E. P. Earle and family visited Fort Hill lust week. Mr. Earle is going to send his son, Ellas, to tbe College. Old Rosin De Bow. Belton Items. We unintentionally failed last week to note In tbe "Belton Items," that Miss Corrie Poore and her brothers, all of An? derson, were visiting relatives and friends in Belton. Mrs. T. Y. Williams, of Lancaster, is visiting relatives in our village. The school building fund now amounts to more than 81,500, and several parties to bear from yet. The work of building must be commenced at once, or tbe new building will not be ready for use by September 1st. Several of Major Williams' relatives from Florida are on a visit to the Major's family,. '?Mrs. Grubbs, the mother of our friend, Mr. G. W. Grubbs, has been indisposed for several days. Mr. R. A. Lewis can now boast of the prettiest dwelling in our little town. It seems to have all modern conveniences. Mr. Smith, of Anderson, was the con? tractor,- and he certainly did an excellent job. The last four or five days have been un? surpassed for gross-killing, and our far? mers have been taking advantage of the season. Tbe McMahon boys, of this place, lost two fine yearlings last Wednesday night. The thief took them to Williamston and sold them to a negro butcher. The boys got one of the yearlings, but the other bad already been butchered,-* when they found out what had become of them. * Long Branch Items. The rain has ceased and we are having some beautiful crop-growing weather at this writing. Crops are looking fine, where they have been worked, corn especially. We have the best prospect for a corn crop we have ever hod at this time of year. Cotton is somewhat behind on account of so much wet weather, especially that on sandy land, bat it has began to grow at last, and is growing very fast. The health of this community is exceed? ingly good at this writing. We had the pleasure of attending Sun? day School at Honea Path Sunday last. They have a large school at that place, and we think is doing a good work. But we are obliged to say that Barker's Creek has tbe best Sunday School, we think, that we have visited in a long time. That school has been in a flourishing condition for some seven years. Mr. S. 0. Strickland is our Superintendent, and he has served the school ever since it was organized. He is the right man in the right place. A young lady of that school ashed us some time ago to mention in our writing to the In? telligencer something about having a pic nie at that place, but we have had so ranch grass we have been somewhat afraid to say anything about it, for fear we would not get to go if they did have one, but in a few weeks grass will be conquered, and we think it would be nice for the Sunday School at that place to have a pic nie and let the young folks enjoy themselves, and ?we old folks could go, too, and talk about old times and enjoy ourselves also. What about it, Mr. Superintendent? Hope to hear from you soon. Mr. W. H. Cobb has rebuilt his fish pond, and is stocking it with catfish and perch and frogs. We have had several visitors to onr sec? tion since our last contribution. We can't mention them all, but we will ask thqm to come bsck again and stay longer. School will open at Long Branch Acad? emy July 9th. Let all parents start their children on the opening day, if possible. C. E. C. Guyton Sittings. As some of your readers, Messrs. Edi? tors, see - to be ignorant as to tbe location of onr h. 'e city, far the benefit of all such I ? giye the following: Guy ton Poetoh . is eleven miles northeast of Anderson' on the direct road leading from Anderson to Greenville, at the point gen? erally known as Piercetown, that Post office having been moved three miles further off. Hoping by this that yonr renders have our geographical location, we will proceed to give tbe news. We wonld be glad If yonr Townville correspondent would be more explicit as to tbe object of a general meeting of your correspondents. Wasn't it funny? Not very to tbe principal actor. One of our most clever young men went to a prayer meeting not long ago, bot as he was alighting from his cart a treacherous piece of iron caught his pants, leaving a sad vacancy in tbe same, or so the young man Bay a, but the other boys say that the said piece of iron was in reality a green-eyed bull dog, but having known tue young man several years, and having no reasons to doubt his veracity, we are inclined to believe his story, w e are all in the gross, but with a few days fair weather, our farmers would ploy havoc with the hosts, of "Gen. Green." But, nevertheless, the crops are very good as a general thing. One of onr summer poets handed us the following lines, which I think represents to perfection tbe impression our State ia making at tbe World's Fair: South Carolina, she'd be there, At tbe Fair, at the Fair. Old Carolina, she'll be there at the Fair With o ton of phosphate rock. And a little granite.block, She will be tbe laughing stock At tbe Fair, The health Qf our community is ex? tremely good at present. Mr, and Mrs, R. M, Baker, of your city, are visiting relatives in our midst. - Watchman. Andersonvlllc Items. We come again, Mr. Editor, asking space in your valuable paper for a few dots from this section. The crops are looking very promising? both corn and cotton. Some report tbeir cotton injured to some extent by the lice, but with good, warm weather it will soon get over its set back.' We have got grass in this section, and lots of it. We heard one man say be bad only one bunpb, apd that was ajl over hie orop. Dr. Bosworth lectured at this place ac? cording to appointment last Sunday. His speech was lull of wisdom and good ad? vice to tbe young people, and we trust it will be of lasting benefit to those who were so fortunate as to hear it. The crowd was a large one. The Church not being large enough to accommodate the people, they moved out in the grove, only a few yards from tbe place where the la? mented Grady's voice was heard a few years ago. A severe wind storm passed through this section tbe 22nd inst., at 4 o'clock in tbe afternoon, blowing down some timber, but no other damage done as far as we have learned to date. The hum Qi the thresher is heard in the land. Say, we bear a whisper that a plo nio is talked of next. We have been informed it will be a family affair, given in honor of one of our oldest citizens, Mr. Henry Caldwell. July 12th is the day seleoted. Mr. Editor, in company with our friend, W. J. Reed, we visited your town the first time since she became a city. To say we were surprised at the changes would be putting it mildly. We saw only a few fa? miliar places, among them all the Court bouse, J. S. Fowler's Stables, Ac By all means let's have a convention of correspondents. I think It would be very pleasant to meet and get acquainted, and I will suggest that you, Mr. Editor, ad? dress the convention, and let tbe meeting be at Anderson. Dysentery is prevailing, to some extent, in this section, but in a mild form. Messrs. W. O. McLeskey and T. N. Ed? ward, of Oconee, came down on a visit to tbeir old friends last Sunday. Mr. E. E. McAdams and Miss Bessie Hall, of Abbeville County, visited here last Sunday, Mrs. 3. Osborne visited her father at this place and spent Sunday night, Needle's Newell News. The hoys aro driving now for all they are worth to get done Taying-by. Watermelon patches that were planted early present a fine appearance. we had some very heavy rains and wind here last week, but experienced no serious damages. A number of our young people are contemplating a pleasant sojourn in the mountain region in the near future. Crops through here look a great deal better than they did at this time last year. Our cotton is just humping itself. Blooms ware reported as early as the 21st inst. A great many of our farmers are sow? ing peas and turnip seed this week. A good idea. They both make excellent feed. All will join us in congratulating Su? perintendent W. S. Murphy upon the manner in which he conducted the Moun? tain Springs Sunday School during the quarter which has just expired. We are not positive, but do not think that he missed a Sunday. The blackberry crop is tho largest this year we ever saw it, and the indications are that there will be more blackberry wine put up this time than ever. If we do not get a Dispensary it will be the main stake for a "bust," you know. The Governor says that his secret spies, whose duties it will be to "nose around," will be engaged in all sorts of occupa? tions. A blockade distiller or a vender df moonshine with a commission to "nose around," will make a pretty com? bination sure. As the Greenville News understands Attorney-General Townaend's rulings on the law, railroads may haul liquor through the-State without restriction, and they may transport it as personal baggage in charge of passengers, provided it is not in such quantities as to indicate that it is lor aale. Will this make excursions to Bister States more popular? Some seem to think that it will and that the railroads are "still in it" and will be so long as the State Board of Control maintains that personal baggage means all that you can carry by hand into the cars. Friend Alonzo Iler, of Piedmont, paid us a visit on his bicycle Saturday last. By the way, "Lon" is introducing one of the best things in tbe way of a low water alarm for portable and stationary boilers and steam threshing engines that we ever saw. Having examined it closely, we feel safe in saying that tbe "signal fusible low water alarm" is the best thing for the Eurpose ever invented. Every steam oiler, whether stationary or portable, ought to be equipped with this ahrm. ' If you own a steam boiler address Mr. Her at Piedmont, S. C, for circulars giving complete information on the subject. When the news reached Newell last week that President Cleveland had given the office of United States District Attor? ney to W. Perry Murphy, of Walterboro, and tbe boys recalled the fact that Mr. Murphy was tbe candidate on tbe Shep pard and Orr ticket last year for Attorney General, one would have thought that the fourth-of July bad gotten in ahead of time. Several hats went into the air and everything whistled "Dixie." One enthu? siastic gentleman suggested that we send Mr. Murphy a telegram of congratula? tion, which we no doubt would bavedone had it not been for tbe fact that we were minus the wires. Neo Needle. Flashes From Shiloh. As some time has elapsed since I gave you tbe news, I concluded to give you a few dots this beautiful Saturday after? noon. The sun is now shedding bis danc? ing beams on the eastern hills and the bobolink and mocking bird are vieing with each other for tbe championship of the wild wood. Ob! who conld not rejoice and be happy, for Buch a scene is pretty to behold, no matter where found. I always like to view such scenes, for it wields an influence over me so entrancing and so pathetic, that I feel my soul rise within me. and I am made better and stronger and more able to right life's battles and resist temptations. Such scenes are ele? vating and refining to our poor brutish natures, and while we are carried hack to onr erratic youth, we are carried forward by the same ImpulBe and boundless love of tbe Creator; But I have almost forgot my mission. I started out to tell you the news, and here I have spun out a great long rigmarole which the public cares nothing about, so I'll confine my remarks to the latter purpose. We have secured the services of Prof. Littlejobn, and he is now teaching at this Elace. From the last report we received is sohool was small, only numbering about one dozen pupila But his school will increase as soon as this push will be over on tbe farm. We are badly behind with our work, but if it will continue fair for a few days we can pull through. I have finished hoeing my potato patch and bave just come to tbe house for a little rest. When tbe old lady wants some wood cut she makes things lively for me. Eyery Saturday it's (,old man the meal is out,", or maybe "the meat is ebon," or its something of tbe kind, for she keeps me trotting all the time. A young lady remarked in our presence at Sunday School last Sunday that she would like to make the acquaintance of that young man from Pierce town. She says he carries auch nice treats in that lit? tle red box. Judging by what we hear (here are others in tbe same boat. But he is a shy kind of an individual, particularly if he ia scared. Sometimes be runs so fast that his ears whistle in the wind. Sams of the Plpg'ah boys are bucking in this section, and we advise tbem to be careful, or they will get them the fixing put on them, If any of you old somnolent bachelors want to get married I advise you to pay us a visit. We can give you a vivacious one or a vituperative one. We can supply you with any kind you want, provided they will bave you. We aro not driving at you, Mr. Editor, but the old good-for nothing lazy country bachelor, who ought to get a nice little girl to keep him out of devilment. The crops are looking well in this sec? tion, but some need working very bad. The boys have got a lazy spell on them, for they go to Piedmont every Saturday. There are some good boys around here who put in every Saturday evening clean? ing yards and helping their sisters fix up for Sunday, for they know that the fatted chicken will be killed and the table will be loaded with apple dumplings and blackberry pies. Then the small boy is seen at bis best, of rather his worst, for it's "Bobby, run out and play; you oan eat directly." Then Bobby will get a chicken foot and a scolding to boot. We know how it is, for we have traveled over that same road. But by and by the little fel? low will be setting up to a young lady himself. Country Cracker. ? A woman in Bay City, Mich., dis? guised herself as a man and clerked in a store for a year, and then applied for Membership In the Knights Of Pythias qnd was initiated. During the work of the third degree they have an India rub? ber rat apd celluloid snake, which run by clockwork inside, and which was very natural indeed, The idea is to let them run at the candidate to see if he will flinch. When tbe snake ran at the girl Bbe kept her nerve all right, but when the rat attempted to run up her trousers leg she grabbed her imaginary skirts in both hands and jumped into a refrigera? tor that was standing near, (which is used in tbe work of the fourth degree) and screamed bloody murder. The girl is a member of the order, however, and there is no help for it. Now try This.
