Mr. Fair Goodwin, son of Mr. O. P;
Goodwin, has joined the Laurens con
tinent of students at the University of
South Carolina.
Mr. Thos. J, Weathers has sold a
number of nice porkers in the Laurens
market during the past week. Fatten
ing hogs for market this early in the
season is somewhat unusual. But there
is, no doubt, good money in it. Far
mer Weathers has many things besides
cotton to sell.
Mr. J. W. Donnan is another enter
prising farmer who lives at home and
boards at the same place. This means
that he lives well and has something to
dispose of from his gardens, patches,
orchards almost every week in the
year. Just now he is digging potatoes,
the finest to be found anywhere. His
sweet potatoes are famous in the town
of Laurens. Besides these things Mr.
Donnan raises cattle, sells beeves,
milch cows, milk and butter; raises fine
mules and never patronizes Western
markets for anything. In short, he is
a farmer who succcods.
The road from Sandy Springs church
to the Ernest Chancy place is in need
of immediate attention in a number of
places.
The patrons of Sandy Springs school
are having the school bouse repaired.
Among the young men engaged in
farming along Number Two are Messrs
G. Frank Little, Geo. T. Little, J.
Hugh Donnan, Bluford W. Blakely,

A. Sumerel, O. P. Goodwin, C. R.
Cooper, J. I. Sanders, Fred W. Little,
L. S. McCrny, J. W. Peterson, Sam
Compton, W. A. Price and others.
Mr. Matthew Bryson will move to
Mrs. Lindsay's place this winter.
Mr. T. J. Little and sons have
bought a farm near Lanford to which
they will remove during the fall,
having sold out to Mr. W. B. Clark.
There arc a number of industrious
colorod farmers living along this route,
and most of them get one or more
newspapers.
Mrs. S. J. Craig and daughters,
Misses Lizzie and Belle Craig, Mrs.
Minnie Waddell, and Mr. H. F. Tum
blin have recently been added to the
list of Laurens No. 2 patrons.
Bitten by a Spider.
Through blood poisoning caused by
a spider bite, John Washington of Bos

Panama Canal?Eric Canal.
Machinery is digging the Panama
('anal a thousand times quicker than
the shovel dug the Erie.
Machinery produces the L. & M.
Paint at 50 times less cost for labor,
than if made by hand.
The L. & M. gives the best job in the
world, because L. & M. Zinc hardens
L. & M. White Lead and makes L. &
M. Paint wear like iron for 10 to 15
years.
It only requires 4 gallons of this cel
ebrated paint and 3 gallons of Linseed
Oil at (50 cents per gallon, to paint a
moderate size house. If any defect
exists in L. & M. Paint, will repaint
house for nothing.

Old Timers Caught.
It is nobody's business to be up, or
dinarily, at 3 o'clock in the morning,
especially Sunday morning, except the
officers whose duty it is to maintain
peace. But it so happened that two old
negroes, Primus Downs and Green
Hands, became so interested in a little
game they were having Saturday night
just out of town, that they forgot
themselves until a couple of officers
came along, returning from a little ru
ral trip, and reminded these old timers
that it was 3 o'clock and about
time to call the game. Both were
placed under arrest and told to appear
for a hearing. They were not playing
for fun either, not these inveteratea, for
they had the mon on the board as well
as the cards. Seventy-six and sixty
arc their respective ages.

k very extensive experience as a teacher
but her school for the only year that
she has taught was a decided success
and the people of Eden are confident
that she will maintain the high record
for our school that it has had hereto

back home. Mr. Holder has a big sup
ply of old corn on band besides this
year's crop which is exceptionally line.
Mr. MabafTey claims that his bottoms
were washed away last year and Mr.
Holder thinks that the mule had found
it out by this time and was hunting
home where the owner planted up
land.
Mr. Holder has mules, hogs and
other farm animals that don't get out
and hunt their neighbors' cribs either.
It is strange how much these dumb
brutes do know.
