Buffalo, April 11.—Ere a few more days and the farmers will be sowing the seeds of poverty—cotton seed. They impoverish their lands and stomachs too. Mr. W. S. Byars, of Gaffney, took dinner with “Bachelor" today and some young ladies too—but I’ll not tell their names for fear that onr other sweethearts might get jealons. If frost don’t kill all my peaches, cherries, apples, pears, plumbs and grapes, I expect the young ladies to call on me rather frequently this summer but just let me tell you, girls, 1 I am just liable to “pop the ques- Oan be found at office six dav» In the week i tion to some of you almost any -— — —— time. If my beet girl happens to see this I hope she won’t fall out with me. She is the one, of course. In my last letter to her I told her that I bad rather have some sweet little brown-eyed girl to love me as truly and tenderly, and as devotedly as I love her, than to own half the Wes tern hemisphere. Ain’t she a “dear” little girl? It is whispered around over here that Willie McCraw, of Gaffney, has been pierced to the heart by one of Cupid’s arrows. He is the “beau” himself. I have heard that Prof. McArthur was stirred up like a mad lion over my last article, and is threatening to come over here to investigate the mutter. Come on Prof , I’ll face all 1 have ever written. You will find things pretty rotten. The ugly rumors that have sprung up in the connection with the school are a disgrace to Buffalo school, Buffalo church and Chen kee county. OR. J. F.

The frosts of the week nipped some corn, yellowed some oats, probably injured peaches slightly in places, but otherwise did no material damage, owing to the backwardness of the season. On the 7th, there was a beneficial rain that covered the entire State, and ranged in amounts from one- third to over an inch. In places it was accompanied by hail. There was a snow flurry in Newberry Our farmers are moving on with their farms now. Several of them planted cotton seed last week.
