The p roi o n ge?l season of dry weather in Itlissiu' indicates a grain lamine in that country and thc cropH in thc other European countries are not up to the average.

No place in th?! State could have been more suitable for just such an institution, MIK! cer tainly thc teachers could have found no more cordial welcome awaiting them anywhere than luis been extended them bv Winthrop t'ollege, and the town of Hock Hill. There are regular recitations con ducted in a great many departments, and there is plenty of work, nani work, for all students, lint with this one finds sometime for social intercourse, and il has been a great place for tile re newing of old friendships, We have met many ?d' our oi?i college chums, and lind great delight, in rehearsing the many pleasant incidents of college life; indeed, some of UH fellows feel like we were nothing moro (nothing less, I mean, for our wives are not here; than college boys again, aud some of tho young (I) women, well they are real spry and gay. Von would think they had never been cross in their lives; no, not even in school.

We believe South Carolina will bo a better State on account of this oppoi timi tv for her teachers. XX XX. Trinity Items. We have been blessed with refresh ing showers. The crops ave looking much better and people are feeling a great deal better. Cur threshermen. Finley & Watson, nu ve made their round, and tis a general thing grain turned out very sorry. They will soon be through threshing, much to the delight of the "little fel low" who borrowed a piece of corn bread at the dinner table the other day. Misses Mamie King and Theo.

Fin ley will be glad to know that she is able to be out agoin after an illness of a few weeks. Mr. FoBter Martin, who has been quite feeble for some time, ventured out last Sunday. lt was the pleasure of your humble scribe to attend the Children's Day exercises at Lebanon last Sunday, and if you will permit me snacfe we will try to give vour readers a few thoughts of how well everything was carried out. The exercises were opened with a hymn, after which Kev. Mr. Williams led in prayer, which was followed by a short address from the pastor. Thero were several recitations by young ladies on appropriate subjects, inter spersed with songs. One of the most interesting features of the exercises was "Facts About the Bible." The questions were asked by the Superin tendent, and thc answers given by a class of twenty little girls and a tew little boys. We must praise this part, j for never did we hear so many smp.lt children answer so many questions without a break. Kev. V.l. Masters made a short and appropriate address. The collection was taken by four young ladies. The programme throughout was most interesting and impressive, and all who participated did their parts well. Mrs. .1. (?. Duckworth had charge, of the training of the scholars, which accounts for t he success of the occasion. Miss Kosa Welburn, one of Lebanon's most charming and accom plished young ladies, had charge of the singing, and this accounts for the school having such melodious music. In short, the Lebanon congregation deserve much praise for the success of the occasion. May the richest bless ings of Heaven ever attend tho congre gation. CHAS. H. CARTER. ( ard of Thanks. Mu.

He called for subjects from the audi ence, and among those responding was Miss Myrtle Jackson, a girl of 10.

The "professor" was apparently un able to remove the spell, and telling her father that Miss Jackson would be all right in a few hour?, got out of town.
