There is a business as well as sentimental side to all this, and with that we are now directly interested.

Now, let's stop that. If your house needs painting have it done. It won't cost near so much as you ttink it will. At least, stop in at some Paint Store and investigate the matter.

C ) Southerner, of Feb? ruary 28th, says: " It has been some time ago, that Rev. Mr. Summereil, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of this place, sent in his resignation, and it was accepted by his congregation, although with reluctance. Last Sunday night be delivered his fare? well sermon to his flock, and when be pronounced the benediction for the last time as their pastor, there was hardly a dry eye in the congregation. Mr. Sum? mereil has served this Church for 11 years, and during that time be has so endeared himself in the hearts and minds of bis peo? ple, that it was a great struggle on their part to accept his resignation and allow him to fro.

Tbe fire originated from matches which fell ehlnd tbe mantel piece, which being ignited, by some means, burn? ed into a tmall specs between the door frame and chimney, which was built in such a manner as to act as a sort of flue to conduct tbe flames through tbe ceiling over the second floor.

This place was' cut into with an axe on both floors, and it took bard work to stop tbe flames, which bad begun to spread between the ceiling of tbe second floor and roof.

We think tbe amount used will fall short of last year, though we may be mistaken. The rains have set our farmers still farther back. The subject disousaed now is, can we get in a full crop of cotton?

He decided to enter into the band t:f nutri monial saints a few days back, and aft?r a few walks with our little damsel, and making her a pressnt of two fauoy ''pina? fore?,'1 concluded 'o make the tie on the second Sunday a'. 3 p m , at tbe residence of Rev.

He remains till dark and hits the grit to her father's residence, and there finds her and another fellow. He boldly walks into tbe room, and, with the air of a King, declares bis disappointment and sorrow, and bids adieu by oalling for bis "pinafores," by informing berthat it she basen't any use for him, she doesn't need the pinafore. This belog bis first, of course was green on the subject, bat we learn be has "caught on," and is standing in now. Mr. F. P. Hanlbrook, of Pelzer, paid friends here a visit recently.
