Linln Hurst. This wonderful young woman drew a large audience to the Court llouse last "Wednesday night Opinion is much divided upon the nature of the force she exerts. Nearly all those who went upon the stage and encouutered her c:unc down convinced that the power she exercises is not purely physical force. Many in the audience assert and beliove that it is nothing more than that. We confcss that we are not prepared to say what it is?but we do not think it is an exertion of nothing but physical or muscular strength, strong men who took hold of an umbrella or billiard cue were unablo either to stand or to hold the article still. In one instance the umbrel? la*was broken. She lifted heavy men, two or throe at a time sitting in a chair. But it is usoless for us to write about it. We can't explain it.

The ladies of the Methodist church at this placu had their church very tastefully decorated, and Rev Mr. Richardson, the pastor, preached two appropriate sermons, morning and afternoon, to large audiences of children. We don't believe the t uthoritics of the C. & G. Road will discontinue the roa<l to Hodges. Hut President Haskell declines to say that they wont. Of course Col.

Consumption is very prevalent among the darkies in this section. A few* years ago it was not common with theiu. Wc sec that Abbeville has organized a Base Hall Association. Due West has not regularly organized yet. hut we will just say that if you gentlemen "step on their coat tails" you will get a fight on your hands. Every colored man in Due West township that voted, cast his ballot in favor of the rail road and progress. We expect our colored friends in the village "to go and do likewise." The spring communion of the Baptist Church occurred last Sabbath evening. Dr. Mayfield did the preaching and served the tables. A very good audience was present to witness this solemn right. Mr. J. O. Bell attended preaching at First Creek last Sabbath, we apprehend mostly to sec his girl. "Bryon," in last week's Messenokr, with his keen Damascus blade, created a sensation.

A Sunday School excursion, partly from Newberry, passed up last Tuesday morning on their way to Williamston. We think Newberry can collect more children together on short notice than any town in the state. Mr. J. W. Wannockand Add Calhoun have taken rooms over Jno. A. Moore's store. The farmers continue to buy corn to feed their stock. Money is scarce, a car load of corn was shipped to this place last week* and it took five merchants to pay for it. Mr. D. JI. Mays shipped, one day Inst week, a fine full blooded shepperd dog, to Cnpt. M. B. Lipscomb of Newberry. We hope the fanners will not be forced to take the first Thresher that comes along this year, but that they will use some judgement and get only the beRt, for so doing they saves more than the toll. Miss Sue II. McMillian of Bamberg, is on a visit to Maj. 11. A. Griffin and family. Mr. W. It. Smith received through the express on Monday a fine setter dog from Abbeville.

It is true they did but it could not have been on account of scarcely of rations, for they went to a heap poorer place than home. Mr, B. G. Verell had a barrel fixed on coroimcca creek to catch muskrats, well he did'nt cotch a inuskrat but he catched a small little rat the size of house rats. G. what a pity to catch such small animals in such large trapy. Mr. J, M. Major sowed a P*tch of reel oais and to his groat surpriso they turned out to bo barley. Wo think that the money that would lie paid for the building of a bridge across Hockey croek near Greenwood, would be well spent. We hope that tho County Commissioners will think of it. as we have a very bad crossing thcro during tho winter. $50 will build it. The Greenwood dude says he has a heavy interest in the "A. ?fe K.
