Corn bread and loaf bread were plentiful.

Henry Ross was the only man to get snake bit and con sequently the only man to Use the etc., but the boys feel sure that if Oscar had been along he could have run into a den of moccasins, as he has a penchant lor get'ing snake bit when off on a fishing frolic. * The return trip consisted of an open air concert on wheels.

It seemed gentle and had a band around one leg marked “J.17, 350.” It might be trouble to hire a farm band a day, but any number would volunteer to run over your crop, pick till your berries and sell them and keep the money. Armistesd Jones and his wife, two old colored people who live in Gaffney, are the parents of two grown s ms and sixteen grown daughters, and all of them are living. S. M.

Now we do not wish,to convey the idea to the public that anyone got “tipsy” on this occasion, for that would be erroneous. There wasn’t a drop in the crowd. You know some people are so evil minded that they can’t disassociate a little fishing frolic from a “drunk.” There was no body full of anything but fish on this occasion except Henry but if Oscar had been a long It mighu have been a different story. lu Meiuorittm.

The New York Commercial-Advertiser, comparing the book with Eben Holden and David Harum, says: Now that a really good book has come to light, a book far ahead of most of its class, it will be hard to induce people to believe it.
