'Silver, March 9.-I haven't much news to relate this week owing to the fact that our enterprising farmers throughout the community are most too busy at present for much pleas ure. I say much pleasure, for we have had some in the shape of socia ables, and occasionally a little dance. 'It was the~writer's pleasure to at tend one last Thursday night at Mr. Beatson's, which was given in honor of two charming young ladies who were visiting from Elloree, Mis Katie Wockter and Miss C. D. Way. It 'was also our pleasure to attend the closing exercises of the Panola academy last Friday night, and to say the least, we were delighted, as we know everybody must have been. T'he children certainly acquitted themselves with much credit to their eacher and trainer, Mr. W. S. Rich burg. .Sprim has made its appearance in our neighorhood. The fruit trees are in bloom and we begin to experi nce some of the plasant sensations aused by an occasional whiff of per fumed air, as It is wafted towards us laden with the aroma from the flow ers. The country Is the place to find these, and our community Is the place~to find the country. By the way, spring reminds us of the near approach of Easter. The ladies' missionary society of Andrews' Chapel are preparing to elebrate that occasion, and we know it willbe something nice. Our community exprienced a very sad event last week inthe death of r. Willie Jones, a young man of about twenty years of age. He was buried at Andrews Chapel Saturday, the 7th Inst. We extend our sympa thy to his bereaved parents. We are reminded by this young man's sad death that it Is not always the old who die. Misses Alice and Leila Davis, of ordan, spent Saturday and Sunday at Mr. F. H. Chewning's. These young ladies are always welcome in our community, and we hope they will come again. Well, Mr. Editor, I can't think of anthing else. Our farmers are about ready to plant corn, but I think they are waiting for the moon to change, or something like that. H. WORDS FROM WILSONS. Wilsons, March 10.-As you haven't had any news from Wilsons for some time, we will try and give you a few ots,but news is very scarce just now. Everybody is busy with their work rying to get ready to plant. I hear f a few around here that are going o commence planting corn this week. I am sorry to hear of so much fer ilizers being bought this spring. It neans a big debt and five cents cot on to pay it with. But we are glad o say that the farmers around Wil ons are not stuck on cotton. They are a "hog and hominy" people, and as a rule raise plenty of meat and read for their own use. And happy s that people who don't have to buy neat or bread. There are only a few n the neighborhood who are going o try tobacco. Measles have literally swept this ountry. A few have them now and . few more are dodging them. Our very efficient railroad agent, r. W. L. Burgess, still holds the fort at Wilsons. We stake him ganst any agent on the Coast Line opoliteness and efficiency. Mr. R. M. Johnson's wife is very ill, ear Wilsons, and not expected to ive. Mr. R. B. Hudgins, of Foreston, buys cross ties here one day out of very week. SANTA. Why suffer with coughs, colds and la grippe when Laxative Bromo Quinine will ure you in one day.

The question of bet is just as positively de eided In favor o- Hood's Sarsaparilla, as the questiono, comparati e sales. Remember, Hood's Sarsaparilla s the One True Blood Puriefle. An druggists. 1. repmed only by C. L Hood a Co.Lowel, Mass cure Liver Ills; easy to Hood's Pills taxe,easytooperate. TOWN ELECTION. An election for town officers must take place next month, the second Monday in April. A town council is of great impor tance to a town and every man that owns property here should interest himself and see to it that a good set of officers are chos en. Heretofore there has been a great deal of indifference as who to put on the council and the consequence is that one man has the whole thing on his hands. We sbould bring forward men who have the welfare of the town at heart, and who would take a deep interest in its progress. 'If ever a town needed a good strong government it is this. Property owners, if yon sit idly and indifferently down and refuse to take an active interest in this matter, do not complain if you are taxed and you see noth ing for your money. Do not complain if your streets become the rendevous for the boisterous and ro*dy. do not complain if the laws of the land are violated before your very faces, and do not complain if your property does not receive ta protec tion it should. We throw out the sugges tion for our citizens to ponder over, gnd if after this reminder, they will not be aroused, it is their own fault if men have themselves elected who are obnoxious. and who have no regard for law and order. RELIGIOUS NOTICE. As the Presbyterian Church in Manning is being painted, the pastor expects to hold public services in the Court House, next Sabbath, at 11:15 o'clock a. m. Sabbath school at 10:15 o'clock a. m. JaXZs McDowsu., Pastor. A FEARFUL POUNDING. Last Thursday evening about 8 o'clock, quite a crowd of the members of the Bap tist church, invaded the parsonage and gave their pastor a fearful "pounding.! Oar pantry is filled with hams. lard, butter, sugar, canned fruit, dried fruit, rice, flour, potatoes, baking povders etc., and last, but not least, one pound of money. In addition to the three hogs in the pen, by different friends, and a milch cow of much value we rejoice in the fact that ever since we have been keeping house our pounding has been almost daily, but this time it came in torrents. To all who by their presence, and who through their generous gifts made orir hearts glad, we return our sincere thanks. We bless God for a generous, noble people with whom to labor. Sincerely, J. 0. GoUGE Pastor. NEW ZION NOTES. New Zion, March 10.-This section Sae asne wild over tobacco, and the people will plant-more-thls year than ever before. The-many new- beginners deserve congratula tions for the enterprise they are ex hibiting. Good, healthy water is another onsideration with the Salem people. Artesian wells are to be found almost everywhere. The population is fast increasing. People are moving in from all quar ters, and it will not be long before New Zion will-be a big business town with live, wide-awake merchants who will not be afraid to advertise their stocks of goods and who will be public spirited enough to endeav r to induce trade even if they have to go down into their pockets to build warehouses and other things to make a market for we farmers. D. W. Alderman tried Sumter in the mercantile business, but he gave it up to take his chances in Salem. The old gentleman has got a long ead and he is making large addi tions to his store here. Opposition is the life of trade and we want to see several big stores here. New Zion church has just complet d a fine artesian well. Candidates can get meals over here at twenty-five cents, and sdme of them will find Salem a poor invest ment-when the election is over. It is not always the early bird that atches the worm. When 'a man starts out 3in the beginning of a year to hunt an office to be voted for the, latter part of the year, the people regard him too early a bird, and they will sit down upon him when the time comes, sure. Some bachelors are hauling lumber and building houses. One is hurry ing the building of his and it is to be built large enough for two. There are five new houses on modern style being put up within five miles. La dies, this is leap year. TU L. SUMMERTON SAYINGS. Summerton, March 3.-The public sale here on Saturday was attended by quite a number of gentlemen from ur county seat. Prominent among them were Sheriff D. J. Bradham, Messrs. Jas. E. Davis, B. A. Johnson, . Elbert Davis, D. M. Bradham, and W. E. Jenkinson. Sheriff Bradhamn wielded the auctioneer's hammer, and under his persuasive eloquence the goods brought fairly good prices. The goods were sold by order of the sreties of Mr. 3. [E.1 Tennant, late ostmaster, same being goods sur endered to Mr. Tennant by Mr. W. . Keels. The Epworth League had the pleas re of an address by Rev. Mr. Wat on, pastor of this circuit, at its eeting last night. -His subject was he value of pure and true manhood ad womanhood. He treated his ubject well, and very forcibly ressed home some earnest thoughts. Lhe League is reported to be in a rowing condition. You wanted to know some weeks go what had become of our starch factory. It is sufficient to say just ow that the stock has risen a few oints, and now is a very good time o buy stock. How much do .you want ? By the way, how about your nitting mills, canning factories, etc.? We can afford to start a half dozen aterprises, fail in all, and yet have ot such a bright(?) record as some of or sister towns. There will be a meeting at Mr. R.H. Belser's on Thursday night of all in erested in organizing and setting on oot a circulating library. It is pro osed to have a library of books and also to Ake a good many of the best agazines, so that by little cost a erson can get to read a good many iifferent publications. We have een hammering at a circulating li rary for five or six years, and at ast there is a fair prospect of seeing ur hopes and exertions reach fruition. Messrs. J. H. Keels, J. S. Watt, R. B. Mellett, and H. M. McCollum are oing to try tobacco this year. The balance will plant cotton. * Our correspondents have been at work this week.
