PROSKRODS RUFFIN f . • • an ncmcsriNG LETTER from one OF OUR ABLE CORRESPON DENTS. It ha'* ajjrain fallen my duty to write the people a few dot* from *our noted little town. Mr Editor, i can’scarcely say what is the matter with the other Kiris, hut I believe they have too much “ertmpany:” surely they have a few spare mo ments from their domestic duties. Our town seems to l>e doinfr a larjre business this fall: It is either the “business” or the "people” that attracts so many people to come ii* nur midst I hardly know which; both I hear. Mrs Isham Padgett has just r - turned home after a pleasant visit to her sister Mrs Fletcher Dukes of Eutawville. Mrs Jane Black and Mrs Minnie Fripp both of Walterboro were guests at the home of Mr Robt. Black last week. Mr& Delia and Della Drawdy two of our charming girls visited their cousin Wade Drawdy of Williams a few days since. Isham Padgett went to Ehrhardts on business a few days ago. He wmre a “durby which was indeed very becoming. Mr and Mrs Robt Black left here Friday last to visit their daughter Mrs P B Sanders of Mount Holly S. C. W r e wish them a very pleas ant visit. Messes Marie Wolfe and Mattie Padgett, two of our Ruffin girls have returned home after an extend ed visit to relatives in Charleston and Eutawville. We are glad in deed to welcome them back, for every ray of sunshine adds joy to our town. Dr Willis Hudson and wife of R. F. D. No. 2 were pleasant callcis here last week.

Our Ruffin Literary Society was very interesting at our last meetir g which convened Saturday night Oct. 9. We were indeed glad to welcome so many visitors and to see our hall packed to the utmost, it inspires us with great courage and behooves us to think that we after all our sad discouragements are bringing social ity and an educational stream in our midst and are doing a noble work-.
