Turn you to the strong hold yea prisoners of hope. Would like to hear from J P Ludlam on this subject. In' reply to Morning Glory of Jordanville and 10 310 of Cool Spring I will try to tell them a true tale about a razDr back. On Saturday, May 20th, Skinner was working at Allen for the Trexler Lumber Co., cleaning up some saw dust and pine bafk in the mill house, at the steam nigger, wnen tne log tram eumo m with some logs that wqre loaded by Mr Bill Lee with a steam skidder in Maple Swamp, and they were unloaded at the mill and rolled into the pond and carried up into the mill by steam. They were mostly gum logs and some of them were hollow. In one of them was a razor back pig about 24 hours old aud when the log was loaded on the carriage by steam the pig was jarred out and fell about 25 feet down where I was at work. I then took it to Capt Frank Oliver and he soon called up Peter Rabnell, the colored hog doctor, and asked him what to do. Peter said: "'Dat hog am not dead yit, airo ?f. for rlo hmictt and feed him iwnv * v wi v*v *<vr w* ?- ? ? - tfood and he will have some big jucy I bones ter new Christmas." Capt Oliver tool; the doctor's advice and the little razor back is growiug fast. If this don't convince you I will teli another story about some razor backs. Skinner. Bardy items.

Clotilde Ligon Norton has been translated to the garden of Paradise, where Jesus and grandmama dwell, leaving a trail of light, cheers and smiles behind her. She was a pure, sweet, beautiful and seraphic child, who made a bright spot in this evil world and left it better for pausing a short time in it. Grandpapa, with all the assistance he could command, endeavored to prevent the receding current, but Jesus and grandmama were waiting on the other shore to receive and welcome her and we were powerless in in such presence. (,Graa" received her with open arms clasping her to her bosom as her own sweet childJesus standing by with a benignant smile?safe ak home "G^an" had never seen lmle Clotilde, but there wa9 an affinity, not to say consanquinity, that mutually attracted and very naturally, soothingly and smilingly dropped into her arms. "G^an" loved little children and will be delighted to walk the golden streets with babe in her embrace and among the flowers plucking one here and there for Ting's amusement and enjoyment. "She seemed a cherub who bad lost her way, And wandered hither, so her stay With us was short, and twas most meet That she should be no delver in earthly sod Ner need to pause and cleanse her feet To 6taud before her God." , forget ibis important part of the program. Let everyone ?man, woman and child lay aside all work that day and come to Conway, It is certain thty the day cannot possibly be more profitably spent and it is sure to return in lessons on Improved methods of farming, improved stock and improved household conveniences more than the time spent in attending thi9 demonstration ex hibit. % CONWAY, S, C., THU i in m Preparing to Celebrate Ponce DeLeon Day.

Two of fcfcem measured 6 feet. The other two were a little smaller. There have been several others killed in netCr-by sections. Two persons have received bites from these dangerous reptiles within last ten days. One was a white ^oy bitter inside the city limits and died in a few hours afterward. The other was a negro boy bitten iu the woods while trying to pull ?, gopher from its den. He was bitten on the finder and it is believed he will recover. Both of these suakes were killed.

She will be missed not only by her employers but by her parents and her many friends during her absence. We must say that she is one of St Augustine's most charming girls and wins friends wherever she goes by her kindly disposition. We all anxiously await her return.
