tInt. a savor? hail storm visited
those sections last Wednesday evening
just about a half an hour before
sundown. The hail cloud was not of
Ion^ duration, only about three minutes,
but while it lasted it meant
business arid the ground in spots wacompletely
covered with hail stones
ranging in size from a guinea to a
partridge egg. Leaves were stripped
from trees and crops suffered se\erely?in
seotious completely ruined
Among the greatest injury to
croj>s, we are informed, were on
the farms of D It Parker, at his
old place, and that of F O Watson,
while A J Todd suffered to some
extent, although not so badly as
the others.
Iteports from other seetions ot the
county have jiot yet come in and it
is not known whether or not damage
was done to them by the hail The
State papers inform us that the hail
storm was general and that much
damage was done to crops.
Fortunately, however, neither in
HoYry or elsewhere in the State was
there a loss of a human life, though
sto^kr which was not housed suffered
to a if renter or less extent.
Some say that considerable hail
fell here in Conway Tuesday afternoon,
but the stones were small and
did no material damage.
Bad Accident wliti Powder.
Archie Lewis, young son of Auditor
Jas A Lewis, was very painfully in
jured by an explosion of gun powder
at the residence of his father last
Thursday. His fuco was burned by
the flame, taking off his eye lasses
and eye brows. The hair on his
head was burned otT, and his hands
and feet were severely burned. He
was playing with the powder inside
of the (iou.se and happened to touch
off a quantity a little too large,
catching the force of the explosion
before he could get out of the way.
Mr and Mrs Lewis weie away at the
time but the neighbors gave him. attintion,
and a physician was called
to him.
The medicine that sets the whole
world thinking,
The remedy on which all doctors
agree,
The prescription all vour friends

Sheriff B,' J. Sessions narrowly
escaped a serious? injury last Monday
morning. He wanted to take
the^arly train for Bayboro. As he
or J# down the street the train was
p. .ing out along Main street, one
engine pulling and another shoving
the train. He attempted to
board the train in the usual way,
but it must have been moving faster
than he suspected. As he laid hold
of th'j railing-, a lurch of the ear
threw him with great forco several
feet into the street on the hard clay
bruising him in several places, but
especially his knee the first place to
strike. He wa? compelled to defer
his trip to Bayboro until another
day.

The death angel visited the homo
of Mr and Mrs J. II. Brinson on
June 4th, and took from the family
'circle their little son, Willie at the
ago ol 1 year, 2 months and 3 days.
Little Willie endured his affile
tons with patience and even at so
early and age there could be seen in
him a spirit of fortitude and submission
He was very obedient to his i
parents and showed a kind and lov- (
ing disposition to all. It was heart
rendering to part with dear little
Willie and all efforts were made by
his affectionate father and mc ther,
his kind relatives and friends, and a
good physician to keep him with us,
but Cod saw best and took him to
Himself; and Lis happy spirit was
safely and peacefully landed on
heaven's bright shore thereto rest
fo^vever with his best, friend, who
once said "suffer 'littlo children to
come unto me and forbid them not."
May God comfort the grief stricken
father and mother and enable them
to be resigned to his- will. I

More than six months has passed
away since I saw an object with my
natural eye, in South Carolina and
longer by a day since I beheld light
in the Independent Republic of Horry,
but iu my thoughts and dreams,
1 have often been there.
Through and by the influence of
some of my school mates of former
days, coupled with a desire to see
some of tho outside world, was it
that I decided to go to Florida, and
on the 23rd day of l ist October 1
started ou a most pleasant trip. Arriving
in the littlo town of Kisseinmio
which is beautifully situated on
the water's edge and western side
of luke Tohopelika. I found a hospitable
people, ere I had been there
two months 1 had met a surprising
per cent of the open hearted people
iu a rati las of ten miles from town,
had eaten and slept wit h them and
enjoyed banquet 1n their halls.
The'climate seemed to have been
C.sniM'.iidlv fnvitesihh* t.o mv nhviiotil
condition?in loss than two months
1 gained twenty pounds. Amid the
favorable things mentioned, an
Abundant yie?d of fruit, the apparent
idleness and pospe: ity of the people
and an attachment of newly made
rriends, Providence so arranged that
I should come to Moultrie, and 1
liuve never regretted any of my
changes yet However, the resigning
of my position with the Spivey
Mercantile Co., was a painful move,
out now it is done and I think it
will work out for'the best in the
end, for all that ends well is well.
My two months stay ou the farm
with my folks before leaving home
was a most pleasant stay though
ousy.
As for Moultrie it is the most adnireable
place to live. 1 find the
'oiks to bo an affable hustling big
learted people, and 1 am quite sure
that no town in the Union of equal
iizo has a larger per cent, of pious
ihuroh goiug people. Fully ninety
jer cent of them ' partake of the
;ommuniou table.
Since January the 1st I have been
u the employment of the Spivey
Trading Co., which is under the
management of Lark in Spivey, the
youngest of the Spivey boys, and
die splendid maunor in which he is
nanaging the afYairs of the business j

outstrip his brothers. In less than
.wo years, and with some cubar'assments
to begiu with, the busiless
has grown to be of prominence
n the city and bids fair to be the
iest in the county. Moultrie is a
ich, healthy and prosperous town
if some five thousand inhabitants'
md has ever been wide awake to
.he development of the intellectual
tide of its future population*. The
lity with its wealth, is the home of
>nly two classes socially?the good
md the bid.
I shall ever be a friend to the Ilerild,
for what it has done for the
iounty, and I trust that some day
t may be a daily instead of a wecky
visitor to me. Very Sincerely,
Doc U. Spivey,
