PoHi-ayiug- tho Wonderful Grgwtl and Prosperity of tin's Hustling Noigboving- Village. A. Trip in tho Country. Tins trip was interesting as well as animating, exhilarating nod in vigorating. Interesting in a high degree over thc rapid improvements made among thc fanners and me chanics. Our first attention is attracted by thc line farming lands of J. P. Edens, superintended at present l>\ Capt Ed. Hucstess, who also has in char go the place of Mrs. Kate Covington and thc place of tho lute Dr. lt. ?. Covington. The Cap tain is one of the li nest workers in thc South; lhere is oho admirable pr?dominai i ng characteristic in his every day walk which gives him an inexplainable power in thc control ling of labor which is so disttgrea ble nt this one particular period ol the world's history. The next is Cant J. C. Dunbar, a man who deserves as much credit as any one whomc I shall speak of. His character is permeated w'.th en ough inflexibility to give him an unyielding .stillness in his even day lifo, with the proper amount of push and energy crossed in his. bos un* with that high toned, genteel spirit of "do unto all men as you would have them t?o unto you," wins thc admiration and applause of all who come in contact with him. Next on our route is Gary Cal houn and his automobile. Gary and youi' correspondent arc thc largest farmers in thc eastern part of Marlboro county. lie has a .'in horse farm, and 1 a one divided on ly by thc Marion road. This be ing the case 1 shall 'ne very polite to him until his automobile breaks down. 1 will say just hire thal J, E.

BRIG HTS VILLE Happomngs Among tho Po opio In This Prosporous Township. Wo nro having fino weather Our fanners are in fine ehupo with bright prospects, and fiuo crops. The crops aro ail clean and nice. The farmers will begiu hying by their corn this week. Some have begun already. My bettor half abd I spent a pleas aut day with Mr. and Mrs. B. E Mooro on Thursday last. Mr. Moore will have to build larger barns to house the com he will make if the seasons ure favorable. I think it I mistake ot i c told mo ho had already put lOpO lbj of meal and other fertilizers, a-iu, now, has beguu putting 200 lbs if Boda per acre more, which will make a total of 1200 lbj per aero. 100 bushels of corn is the calculation Mr. Moore is counting ou if the se? ?os hit. The writor is alway? glad to eeo the time como when his good wifo wH' propose a day on*-at Mr. B. E Moore's. For you all know how clevor and ki d hearted Mr. and Mrs Moore ure, and if a fellow don't mind he will hurt himself. So many nice things I have ofteu thou ht of what a pretly homo they have, aud, so comfortably lixed, and everybody loves to ;top there. For they make you feel at home. Even thc cats and often u 1'.me dog will conic along, and Mr. Moore will j say "poor fellow." Tho dog scea at mee he has a friend and master. Mr. Moore toM mo (if one or two that had taken up there, aud poiuted them out to nie. I told him I didn't blame \ them. If I were n dog his home would he the first place I would go. Those doga ie mi ii il mo of the dog I once tead of when I was a boy. The lame dag was going the road and met a man, the man saw that the dog was lame began to much him and the dog came lo him., and tho man carried the pi or dog home with him, set the 'oj, Aid eared for him, until ho became well. One morning after the dog had gutten well, the man went out about his work, it was not long before he noticed thc dog had brought to him i dog that wes lame, aud would first look at the dog aud thou at his maa '.er, as much as to say you have sot my brokeu limb aud I am well, now won't you set this my friend's limb So he mnched the lame dog, amd the dug went to where the mau was, and the man set the dogs le:r, and the well log stem to appreciate the kindness of his master. So after the dog became well, there came a large snow that re mained on tho ground for soveral wicks Ain! the munv only child a 'mle hoy wondered on', of the gate ind down tho lawn, across the field, following lifer some robius, trying to brow a little fresh salt upon their iii s i he could catch one. This dog 1 . 1 ?wed th ? child. Thc little boy he witt lu get cold, and had lost his wa}' li mic Thinking he was going b.ick Lome kept going, and at last he cone lu ?tu old well'that was without u (..iver and wanted to look down in the well. The dog seeing the little boy was in (langer ran between tho well md (he ??ule boy, and kept him from hilling in. Ky this time the mau had\ . . v hnrrnn n r-T-r1' *Or {.Mr ' ?. ii;j (?.._.. tm) btu faithful ile" h> I !? tv, ho followed tm and on at ; rv liny I id Iv ' io the old well j -. it t ihfi ilog r.iid not 3'O?ngtlio child j ic he ; iii lo feel ' liol ..( buttrt, think- ? . ? im. bi?, iniiy child had fallen iu | tlie well, and he began to quicken his steps. On arriving at the well he to iii-: glatl surprise discovers the dog iias saved his child hy walking the ?issi Ie circle of the well to keep the hoy from falling overboard, and A'ould circle fart lier and farther each lime until tlie child became tired and cold anil lay down bv a large stone ?ear by and was fast asleep. Tho dog -aw Ilia masler was so distressed about the child he ran to whore tho child was numb willi eold and asleep. Thc man was so over rejoiced with what the dog luitl done he caught the dog .Hound thu neck and embraced him i\?th teary in his eyes and said you have repaid me you dear old fellow, tor setting your limb. So the father took the child home to his mother who was waiting the return of her husband with abating breath of anx iety, and theu when he waB seen com ing, such joy that ran through that mother's heart and after the husband h:nl narrated the incident to his wife the gave the dog a welcome to h'm new home. Mr. Moore says he is very found ot pets, and I kno.v that he is. I have wit nessed some ol the kindness shown them hy him. On my visits to his home I have always noticed one ol the best si?;ni. For a girl to judge a good hus h md is when you see him pet his dog a nd his horse and never scold nor whip (hem. That man will make you a good kind husband and if you don't believe me, you just select une with these traits and many him, anti 1 will almost be Wiking to say I will he responsible r die outcome will he for good. He v. leed the chickens for you anti wi" tl raw all Ute water, and will keep you ol nice stove wood, and plc l!nn^ mee to cook. No.v young men I h.? lied you to the joting lathes, .. ld up ure t description, and pr< orthy r of lier love anti ..llillir.g t. I he above and e you il P you do.

The girl who selects one r> glides thal Sam [ones spoke ol . re, will be very unhappy as pointed when she will .. woo I, bring in waler, wor tien, iced the horse arni hogs, p tilings out ol her line ol work, s. ?S enjoj ing a good repose. My sweetheart and ? took a nice litiiu Sunda) morning ride yesterday, just alter thc sun was up and the lark was up lo meet thc sun, the woods wr.s with music ringing, the air was refrcsing and t .?. mada u? was so cheerful, and talked like n mocking hird singing. Anti I telt as big as president Wm McKinley tell the day he was assassinated. Though I .mi not, ! wish I could feel as I telt that morning the balance of my lile. I reckon every man leels that way wdien he is laking his little wile out driving, though ! have oltcn noticed some will ride with their hack lo their lillie wile, or sorter sid? wise, pretending to he looking at lite crops, he is one of the Sam .Iones Icllows, better let him alone. I will have to praise one ol om Jinghi sville hoy-;. J overheard a covvcrsation between him und two young lathes. I m y were going tor him, they told him they wanted* lo see his garden lhat Ihey heard he had ihe hnest garden in the :iiy. The yoting man Insisted so on them ' ?topping that they concluded it was O. I! , ;md drove on hy. Norjon was al smiles and wanted to side with the young; man, to help him out by saying ne needed some one to help .work the garden. It seemed (rom the drift of the conversation it wound up with a No 4 cooking stove, and a set oi table ware etc. Things were pretty lively, but 1 must commend thc young: man tor thc manner in which he so pleasantly ha-t dled the three that were trying to joke him. I am quite sure he will keep head? ed cabbage on the table, as well ns to mato catchup and other nice things, won't you Hilly boy? The girl that has made the selection deservas credit for her good sound judgement. Thc garden will come out all O. K. I went over thc 51h Sunday to hear hi Rev Clyde, one of our beloved old Brother's who used lo preach to us some 18 or 20 years ago. Ile looks al most as young as he did then, and preach to a lull house and gave us one oi those good old Methodist sermons like he used to preach, that was ?ppre elated by all present After the close and the Doxology, all ot the Trustees and Stewards, gathered around him, and such a happy greeting, and that good old cordial hand shake he can al ways give a fellow-man. We all ieel that it was good to be there. Un going in the church I noticed a large congregation was present. On my lett I discovered a neat looking man ol I medium size with dark eyes, black Svsir. I and black mustache. I hated to stare at thc gentleman for fear 1 might display a speck ol disrespect, or show thc lack of training or the breech ol etiquette, so I would cut my c^e in that ii ccton as though looking out of th? window to see it my horse was standing quiet. My cur iosity ran high. I could sec the favor ot some one 1 knew I had seen, then I thought it can't possibly bc him, ?.his man is too young lor him. So I couldn't listen to the sermon as I should. I said well I will find out who you are, so 1 turned to a hiend ol mine and said, what fellow is that on ?he end ol thc bench over there? He said it looks like he might bc a Mr. Cam Stubbs, of Sum. ter. About that time the Captain turned his lull face to me and smiled and ex tended hir. hand across thc back ol the bencb and gave me one ol those old lashioned Scotch-Irish hand shakes and said "I don't hardly believe you knew me at first." No said I. I had almost concluded that my Cou? i 1 Cam Stubbs oi Sumter was up again on a visit. Oh! cousin you don't think I am as ugly as Campbell Stubbs I hope. If I though! you did I would go home and stay there, why surely said I. I think you favor and would now pass lor twin brothers, only I believe yon arc little the youngest man, as for looks, I think you both aje good looking enough, to catch the widow. Ol course I knew who I was talking with then. 1 hope my cousin will always look as happy as he looked on that Sun day, and hope he will continue the mus tache only, and you will surely win the affections of some help mate that will bc willing to tie the neck tie every Sunday morning before going to church, ('onie over lo our lillie town Captain.
