Some of the low country truck farmers would do well by paying Rion a visit and looking at the gardens of Messrs. Walling, Jamison and Sam Powell, and then to visit Mr. C. L. Smith and see his potato crop. The bicycle craze is somewhat abated, both wheels are in the hands of Black smith, and both of the riders ordering "shelac."

Editor; Please allow me space in the valuable columns of your paper to make a poetical address to the Gary boys to inform them where we get our "mountain dew"-thus: The Gary boys fre angry Since they heard the supreme horn Say, "the Antis of Fairfield Can get some mountain corn." If you don't be angry, Ill tell you what we'll do. We will send and get a gallon. .. And then call round on you-('tgent.) And if you don't like it, You are one among the few; The most of the boys around here Dote on the "mountain dew." The whiskey is going to come down, That we all can see; The mountain boys will undersell The South Carolina Dispensary. You can send for five gallons, But do not sell it blind, For if John Gary catches you, He'll make you pay a fine. If yon have got your ticket, Let you be young or old, Just walk right up to the box And stick it in the hole. If you are not able 'fo read or write your name, Ju't attend to your own business And the rest can do the same.

THE SPRING POET Harps About a Hop Near Hopp. Mr. Editor: There will be an enter tainment at the Crosby Institute, near the residence of Mr. S. D. Crosby, on Friday night, the 31st inst. The young people of the community are cordially invited to attend, and by their pres ence help to make the entertainment a success. We feel safe in saying to those who will attend that we can in sure them a pleasant time. Your humble scribe has composed a few verses of poetry on the occasion, and I trust that there is nothing herein that will incur censure er provoke criticiim. I mean no reflection, and if any one should take exceptions I shall gladly retract and make any reparation necessary:! It will be the ball of the season, For they all think it, is in reason; It will be a social event, For they will all en pleasure be bent. Uncle Peter Feaster will be there, and he's past sixty-nine, But he doesn't seem to be but a little on the decline; Uncle Petter has spent several years in the West, But to hear him play you would say Peter's just at his best. Mr. Wiley Coleman will be there, and he's just past thirty-nine, But to make music with his fiddlle and bow, he's just fine; Mr. Coleman has never gone West, But as a musician he takes rank with the best. We will have an address by Mr. W. B. Ware, ar; We m'a~y expect an oratorical treat, For at speech-making Mr. Ware's bard to beat. Mr. Robt. Jeffares, yorur correspondent, will be there and give a sketch, To your many readers of whatever transpires that he may "ketch; Mr. Jeffares is always ever ready with his pen in hand, To write something for the upbuilding of his fellowman. Young ladies will all be there in their spring attire, It is them that the young men are sure to admire; Young ladies, you must not come in a dash, If you do, en the boys you're sure to make a mash. Old men and ladies are invited, To come and bring their coffee pots and pipes, So they can smoke and take a sup, While the young people their love matches make up. Messrs. Tibe Crosby and Robt. Jeffares will be marshals of the night, If any boy misbehaves he'll have Tibe and Bob to fight, Or make his departire right away, Long before the break of day. As there has been no communica tion from this section recently, I have concluded to write a short piece in connection with the announcement of the entertainment and the few verses of poetry. Hlopp postoffice is on the mail route running from Blair's to Albion, on which route are the following post offices: Buckhead, Hopp and Albion. By the establishment of this route we have the convenience of a daily mail. Mr. W. B. Estes is the pstmaster at this place, and has also built a new store-house~ and opened a store. We are gratified to learn that he is build-. ing up a good trade. This new enter prise, nnder the effic'ent management of our esteemed friend, will be a great convenience to the community, for there is nto other store nearer than Bckhead and Albion. We wish him sccess. Several of our most enterprising farmers in this section have been buy ing cattle since Christmas. Messs S. T. and John Clowney have large droves of cattle. To use a cou.mnon phrase, they are both "hustlers." In, :eed, I might say we have a commi - nity of people of thrift, industry, per severance and intelligence suffieient to carry their rff~rts to a successful ulmination. The farmers are getting along t.>lera ly well with their work. The recett old weather has greatly retanled the rowth of the crops. The health b f the comm unit' is tol erably good. x. Hopp, S.

J. Gun derman, of Dimotidale, Mich,, we are per mitted to make this extract: "I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist Church at Rives Junction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe. Ter rible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them.
