"8o*sy Hamilton" Coming.
j A rare 4rent to tbe lovers of
literary art. dramatic iuterpivtaj
tions and delineations of bnrk|
woods life, will be the visit to Fort
| Mill of Mrs. M V. Moore, of Ala|
batna, best known by her pen
1 name as "Betsy Hamilton." Tins
! distinguished author-reader will
I entertain our people the evening
of March 1J at the town hall. The
! proceeds of the entertainment are
| to be used in home mission and
.school library work. Of the many
complimentary uotices of t!:o ic
| niarkable work of this gifted
Southern woman, the following is
: from the pen of I'residen Hartzug
of Clemson College:
44 'Betsy Hamilton* gnvo us the
most delightful entertainment of
the year. 1 cordially invite her to
return und repeat her recitals."
Mr. Robt. Swann, one of the
I oldest residents of lower Steel
j Creek, died Monday morning, after
a weeks' illness of pneumonia.
:Mr. Swann was hi years of age
j and unmarried. He had been a
; life.long resident of Steel Creek,
! dying at the exact spot where he
! was born. The burial took place
1 yesterday at Steel Creek church.
The severe wont her wh ich we
have experienced during February,
: and which has extended far down
; in Florida, is going to make a conI
sitlerable shortage in enrl v green
| vegetables, and on this account
! our markets will be very bare of
1 green vegetables until late in the
j season. Indications are that die
j earliest crops of green vegetables
will sell at good prices, both in
j homo markets and in the large
| cities North. The opportunity
I presented to our Southern truckers
and gardener* to make money out
of peas and other early truck crops
is ouo that they should net fail to
take advantage of. Early peas
are one of the tirst crops to come
