Mr Eidtor: I am always glad to get to read the news through your valua ble columns every Wednesday from different parts of the county, and in order to tote fair, I thought I would scribble d..vn a few dots from old Horeb. Down in this corner of our pre cinct we are a blessed people, blessed in many ways, one iii partica!ar: We have three cece leb-rm rhptist and Me:hodi-t. All ..re SiU, plied with good preaciier; and good pas:ors. The Me:hodists an.1 Bapti-tV have hrid their protracted inte.igs and have proved a big blessiru to b >th churches and people. The Presbyte rians wlil commence their protracted meeting Friday night before the first Sunday in September. We will send notice for insertion when we intend to dedicate on new church, but want at this point special mention made in your colnmns for the liberal contributions that )onr town has so ably and willingly contributcd toward the building of it. There has been subscribed from $1 to $100 by bankers, lawy ers, merchants, doctors, office-holders and non-office-holders, and friends. All has been paid. While we, itt our grail financial condition, may never be able to return to you for your liberality, we trust that God, the .Giver of all good gifts, wi:1 abundant lv bless and reward you for the same. The health of the community never better, considering the abundance of fruit we have had; consequently the doctors have been kept at home. We are thankful for the big fruit Industry.-I can't say much for we men folks down here on the l'.nc of industry. We all ride araund, smoke our pipes, chew our tobacco and come in and brag to our wives what fine crops we have, while they (our wives) are hard at work-canning and drying fruit. I knew an old faithful friend, lived in Newberry some years ago, had it for a saying, that there was but t wo classes ot people that worked nowvadays, and that was the white women and negro men. lie certainly told a big truth. i can't think there can be too much p:aise given our d:ar women for their perseverance in our '.ear land. Without the dear women, who would build the churches, and who would-in fact-who would keep the world together? Answer. no one. Woman.-We had one to go almost mad near here the other day. She sent her son to a country store for a $1.00 worth of sugar. The boy came back and reported he only got sixteen pounds. After the mother got her pearp and all' necessary arrangements made to preserve them, she opened the bag, and it contaired sixteen pounds of sand. "Oh, me!" c-ied out the lady for her bov, and th -n for her $1.00. I1 suppose the boy missed a thrashing by returning the $1.00, as the merchant had no sugar. Public Roads.-Outr supervis->r, Mr. J W. C., is having our roads put in good fix. Joe makes a good supervi sor, but says he would make a better sheriff. Railroads.-It is four miles to our postofiice on the C. & G. R. R. I~s a great convenience too, for we get our mail daily. I believe if I and my esteemed friend of your town, Mr. G. Hi. McMaster, could get our heads together and some one else's morsey together we could have another rail road runniug through here. I would vote for him to be president and he would vote for me to be conductor. The Crops.-Corn is fine beyond a doubt, more particularly young corn < on bottom lands. Cotton is poor, be v ond a doubt. It has had so many dirawbacks; cut off about 40 per cent. Peas.-More peas planted thani corn mnon, and if gathered will prove a big help to the farmers.. Sorgham.-There will be another big molasses making down here this year, and I believe it will be the cause I of molasses being lower in price than ever. Potatoes.-Well. we have been eat ing potato custerd more than a month, and hope to be able to eat them until next April.t What a glorious conntry it we only knew how to manage it; good lands, good health, good water, good women -oh, but bad politics. . Politics- Some of us Conservatives down here voted the division ticket, t not that the other ticket didn't have a some good men on it, but will by illns ~ tration give one reason for not voting r it: We don't like to drink onr' coffee I sweetened with black sugar nor fiav-i a ored with sour cream. '1 Rain and Visitors.-We have had showers of both, frequent and oanen particularly the former. Gla I that they all camne early, and feel thankfld p for such blessings. It is gool to have line crops and to have friends at~d reia. ' tivts to come to see y ou; good to have )eacl pe and sweet milk. It's good o have all of those good things, and ur farmers are good to have them if hev will work for them. Miss N. E. Gibson leaves us to-day or her home in Newberry County.

There has been maw) social gather ovgs in the neighbothood, but none i.-c this. On Auguit 2,Sh, inst., we received an invitation to attcnd a mall sociable to be held at the resi ence of Mr. U. C. Trapp. The eve uing of the 29th we left our homes about sundown, i.ot having more than a mile and a half to drive, and reached ur destination about 8 o'clock. We were cordially welcomed in the parlor, and on entering futnd that a few of our friends had already gathered and scemed to be enjoy ing themselves over whelmingly, and of course your cor respondent took an active part in all that went on, and especially in the latter part of the program which he will mention later on. After we caught the tenor of each individual's conversation and enhaled the odious and sweet fragrance of the many beautiful flowers which were wafted in on the southern breeze. and catching a glimpse through the window of a beautiful flower garden which seemed to be watered and constantly visited with the presence of one who would take an ititercst in such things, we ventured a step further. The fl1wers looked as if they were ready to receive the P'acking of a tender hand which had been watching over and caring for them during the last sainmer month , and we noticed very soon that some of them were accom modated, judging from the appear ance of some of the "Jim Swinger" cost. that weze hanging about there on a rack of boaes an.t fi sh. They were soon embellished and perfumed by the fragraace that would attract a married mau's undivided attention, much less a carpet-stamper. We will hasten on. In the meantime we be came very thirsty, and noticing signs of water, proceeded toward the door in the rear of the house and found wh t we were seeking, a very cool and refreshing drink of water. We also noticed that things were exceedingly bright in the back yard, which was ery level and covered with white sand. It seemed as if electric lights were suspended in the air. The larga clustery trees were penetrated by the hsharp and bright says of light which darted like an arrow towards tha shin ng heavens; and much more to our surprise was that just underneath those b-Ight and illuminous lights was a lage square table, decorated with some of those lovely flowers and filled with cakes of various kinds and ice cream saucers filled to overfiowitng. Our faculty of surprise was pitched to its very utmost, (and oh how agreeably). But soon we heard the tender voice of one who bad prepared the feast in to'ies like this :"'Walk out to supper." Then came the broad rins of the boys and the lovely smiles tohejyung. ladies, and everybedy service soon began, all bountifully helped and quiet prevailed for se time. After icecream and cake was served then came the cake and cool lemonade; all of which was delightiul, (and I can prove it ) After supper was over a:1 gathered back in the parlor and talked and laughed and had a good time in gene ral until the hour for going h.'me. There was an awful scraping and bowina; and repeating, "Oh, what a nice timne I had!" and a telling "good bye," and soon we were all on our roid home. We want to thank the good lady and her assistant for the courtesy showed us and for the most delightful refresh ments of which we all partook. I know that 1 express the sentiment of all who attended.

I hief would come of it. At last matters got very bad, for two f the indunas came forward to drag her if to execution, and it was not until tella fairly burst into te(ars that the Ight of her grief, backed by Mr. Car on's orders and my own remonstrances, St arried the day. All this while llendrika had been tanding quite unmoved. A t last the umult stopped, and the leading i-nduna ch alled to her to go, promising that if Al ver she showed her face near the raals again she should be stabbed like jackal. Then Hendrika spoke to Stella a a low voice in English: be "Better let them kill me, mistress. bet- 10 er for all. Without you to love I shall th o mad and become a babyan again." th Stella did not answer, and they looe Ler. She stepped forward and looked at I he natives with a stare of hate. Then he turned and walked past rme. and as th he passed whispered a native phrase in th ay ear, that being literally translated, w< ieans "till another moon;" but which w as the same significance as the French au revoir." h It frightened me, for I knew she af aeant that she had not done with me, nd saw that our mercy had been mis- B: laced. Seeing my face change she ran iftly from me, and as she passed of ndaba-zimbi, with a sudden movemefnt th natched her great knife from his hand. Ih Yhen she had gone about twenty paces h: he halted, looked long and earnestly m )n Stella, gave one loud cry of anguish Si nd fled. A few minutes later we saw si er far away, bounding up the face of t: Ln almost perpendicular cliff-a cliff ;hat nobody except herself and the m aboons could possibly climb. di "Look," said Indaba-zimbi in my is ar - "-Look, Macumazahn, there 1c oes the Babyan-frau. But, Macu- I nazahn, she will come back again. ti kh, why will you not listen to b: ny words? Have they not always been it rue words, Macumazahn?" and he d< shrugged his shoulders and turned away. y< For awhile I was much disturbed, but ,t any rate Hendrika was gone for the h, >resent, and Stella, my dear and lovely I vife, was there at my side, and in her r miles I forgot my fears. S( For the rest of the day, why should I 11 xrite of it? there are things too happy t, ind too sacred to be written of. fr At last I had, if only for a little tc while, found that rest, that perfect joy a vhich we seek so continually and s0 a ,arely clasp. r n CHAPTER XI. I wonder if many married couples are d muite as happy as we found ourselves. d Cynics, a growing class, declare that few a llusions can survive a honeymoon. h Well, I do not know about it, for I only b married once, and can but speak from , my limited experience. But certainly c] >ur illusion, or rather the great truth a: >f which it is the shadow, did survive, 3 is to this day it survives in my heart t across all the years of utter separation, and across the unanswerable gulf of a loom.s But complete happiness is not allowed r in this world, even for an hour. As our d narriage day had been shadowed by the a scene which has been described, so our a narried liffe was shadowed by its own a sorow. h Three days after our wedding Mr. Car- s son had a stroke. It had been long im- t ending, now it fell. We came lio the 1 enter hut to dinner and fotund him' lv ing speechless on the couvh. A t first I i thought that be was dying, but this was t not so..

This was the nme~ d?i.- s ing to me, because I had a w-rvouc 14:e sentiment that Stella was irecarring b danger by staying there. and also be ause the state of her healih rendered it desirable that we should reach a eiv lized region as soon as possible. How ever, It could not be helped. At length the end came very suddenly. We were sitting one evening by Mr. Car-d ons bedside in his hut. when to our as-k tonishment he sat up anu. spese~ in a strong, full voice: a "I hear you,'' he said. "Ys yes, h. ~orgive you. Poor woman! you, too h: ave suffered," and he fell back dead-.f I have little doubt that he way; adi- si iressing his lost wife, some vision of ti: hom had flashed across his dyving tr senses. Stella, of course, was over- ha. -helmed with grief at her loss.

"Allan and 3tella," he said, "I believe that the cer mony which has been performed makes ou man and wife in the sight of God nd man, for all that is necessary to make a marriage binding isi that it hould be celebrate ::w.mrding to the ustom of the country where the parties o it reside.

Still, n case th re should be any legal flaw I again demand the solemn promise of you both that on the first opportunity I you will cause this marriage to be re :elebrated in some civilized land. Do you promise?" "We do," we answvred. Then the book w-s brought out and we signed our names. At first my wife signed hers "Stella" only, but her father bade her write it Stella Carson for the first and last time in her life. Then several of the indunas, or head men, in luding old Indaba-zimbi, put their marks in witness. Indaba-zimbi drew his mark in the shape of a little star, in humorous allusion to Stella's native name. That register is beforo me now "WUHAT IIAVE YOU MEEN DOING TO YoUre FACE 7" as I wvrite.

"Never," murmured Stella in my ear; but Mr. Carson turned white with wrath. "My people," he said, "you hear the words of this woman. You hear how ihe pays me back, me and my daughter, vhom she swears she loves. She says hat she could have murdered a man -ho has done her no evil, the man who 1 .s the husband of her mistress. We I avd her from the babyans, we tamed 3 ir, we fed her, we taught her, and this I s ow she pays us back. Say, my pee 1e, what reward shall be given to her?' 2 "Death," said the circle of indunas, inting their thumbs downwards, and 11 the multitude beyond echoed the 1 ord "Death." "Death," repeated the head induna, .dding: "If you save her, my father, wet i slay her with our own hands. She s a babyan-wvoman. a devil-woman; ah, V *es, we have heard of such before; let 0 Ler be slain before she works more evil." Then it was that Stella stepped for., s ~rd and begged for IHendrika's life in aoving terms. She pleaded the sav-j gery of the woman's nature. her long! ervice, and the affection that she had lways shown towards herself. She said t I, whose life had been attempted, rgave hcer, and she, my wife, who had .arly been left a widow before she was .ade a bride. forgave her: let thema for ive her also. let her: be sent away. not uin. let not her m.arriage day be ined1 with blo.
