Miss Lilian Glenn is visiting in Orange burg County. Miss Laura McCoy and Miss - Zobel, of Columbia. are visiting the Misses Zo bel. Tlh Misses Davis, who were visiting Mrs. Coates, have returned home. A slight shock of earthquake was felt in this village at 9 o'clock last Wednes day night. It was accompanied by the usual sound. We are having a splendid season for the potato and the turnip crop. Mrs. Pratt has sweet uotatoes of an enormous size. Mr. T. P. Lane drove a fine lot of fat beef cattle to Columbia last Monday. The best that have been on the road for a long time. There has been a dearth of items in our village for-some time. owing to the ab sence of that very important item, "the dear girl," but she is beginning to return slowly, and in a little while the village will have resumed its wonted vivacity. SANS SoUcI. POMARIA ITEMS. Cotton is opening rapidly in some places and our farmers will soon com mence gathering the fleecy staple. Mrs. Charley Summers, and children, of Newberry, spent several days with her parents during the past week. Misses Mary and Laura Counts have retutued from a few weeks visit to relatives in Fairfield County. Miss Miunie Suber, accompanied them home, and will spend a few weeks here. The two Alliances recently organized at St. Paul's and Mr. John Summer's are growing rapidly. Mr. John C. Seegers, came up to Pomaria Saturday to preach at Bethle hem, but was taken sick and could not meet the appointment. It was our p leasure on last Thursday 22nd inst., to attend a picnic at the Gar many Academy. Having had the opportunity off'ered us, we were not slow to decide, and early in the morn ing were on our way to the picnic, and it was a picnic in the truest sense of the word. No speaking, "no nothing" to keep every one from feeling free to seek pleasure as they choose. The time for dinner soon came and everybody was invited to come to a long table which was just loaded with everything the appetite could desire. WVe feel safe in saying that it was the best picnic dinner of whic ,been our pleasure to p ke. W.w.e ,tranger in this conmmu nity, but felt fI..,eaid for our visit. It was indeed a pleasant occasion,and we would be glad for an opportunity to attend mnorejust such pieniT-s HERALDINGs FROM NO. 6. Cotton opening rapidly. Upland corn and fodder anearly all pulled and thke fodder saved in good conidition. The match game of base ball between the Trinity and Hartford club resulted in a defeat to the Trinaity club. Trhe score stood 3.9 to 9. Trinity had a crip ple or two and no catcher. Hartford was in good trim and did somec fine play ing. But Trinity had some consola tionk, as she won the foot race. Hartford and Helena had some of their prettiest girls.#resent, which added much plea sure to the occasion, and if the Helena and Hartford boys do not sleep with one eye open Trinity will capture some of their girls. The meeting at Bush River Church is still ink progress. Fourteen persons have joined, and the interest of the meeting is still increasing, Bush River Church is in better condition for the Master's work then it has been for years. Rev. Martin, of Clinton, has done the most of the preaching for the last week. He is a forcible preacher and seems to know just exactly what to say. May the work continue tell every sinner is reached in the whole commu nity. Some snkeak did a dlastardly deed at Bush River Church one night last week. Rev. W. J. Langston's traces were cut again. A mkan that would be guilty of such a cowardly act-ought to ha've the traces worn out on his back. Suspicion points to a certain man and if we -cana get the proof he will be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Protracted meetings are in p)rogress at Cross Roadls and New-Chapel, anid one wvill begin at Mt Zioni next Satur day. - - TELL. Frank LeslIe's Popular Monthly. Fine portraits of "the American Duchess" (formerly Mrs. Hanmmersly, of New York) and the Duke of Marl borough, given in connection with an illustrated article on the famous palace and park of Blenheim, are conspicuous among the pictorial features of Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for Septem ber. Colonel R. J. Hintonl, one of the hydrographic experts of the Irrigation Survey now in operation in the Western States and -Territories, describes inter estingly, with the aid of the artist and photographer, the processes of "Making the D)esert .Bloomi." Ana uncommonly attractive out-door paper is Miss Eliza beth Taylor's "Up the Nepigon," Dr. . L B. Fletcher gives a comprehensive account of "Electric Railways and Electric Motors." "Count de Benyows ,ky's Adventures, "Carmen Sylva, Poetess and Queen," "Para and the Amazon Delta," "FantasticGardening" and "Mmne. Tussaud" are among the I other illustrated articles; and this num her of the favorite magazine is unusu ally strong in short stories and poems. Ball Clubs should play with the new Ball now' onf sale at r the Book Store. - a i PROSPERITY LETER. M rs. J. C. Boyd has returned homc after ania bsence of a week with rela tives in York. S. B. Lathan, Esq., and Dr. John R. Laigford have gone on a business trip to York. Miss Stevie Bowers, of Newberry, is visiting.in town. Mr. Wallace Bruce and family have moved back to Prosperity. Their health has been bad, and it is hoped that a return to their former home will be beneficial. Mr. Samuel P. Sligh and family, of Florida, are on a visit to this county. Mrs. J. A. Simpson and children have returned home, and Dr. John now wears a pleasant sm ile, and looks as if sornebody had fouud him. Brother Sehumpert, though, is still in the cold, and looks like an iceberg. Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Boland will begin "keeping house" next week. They will occupy rooms with Mrs. Nancy Boozer. This is new business for the Doctor, and we wonder who'll wake hin up of mornings. Thanks to the principal of Wheeler Academy for an invitation to pic-nic with school, on Friday the 30th inst. The merchants here, as usual, are making preparations for a big fall and winter trade. Already some lines of beautiful goods are arriving and are being placed in their proper places. Judge B. B. Hair left here on Tues day for Baltimore, to consult an emi neat physician tuere in regard to a tumor or growth on his thigh, and, if necessary to have it operated on. The conditions of the weather are favorable to the maturing of the young cotton so far, but it will not do to bank on it yet. The directors of the Farmers' Alli ance warehouses held a meeting here on last Friday, and some of the pre liminary arrangements looking to wards the erection of a brick fire-proof building were made. A committee, con sisting of Rev. J. A. Sligh, Hon. R. T. C. Hunter and J. T. P. Crosson, were appointed toreceive bids for the build ing of the warehouse at this place. Prof. E. J. Brown, of Ohester, S. C., has been elected principal of Pros perity High School, and Miss Lillian Luther assistant teacher. Prof. Brown comes highly recommended, and has five years, experience in teaching. Miss Lillian taught in this school last year, and her early re-election is an evidence of her fitness as a teacher. The only mark of improvement which can as yet be observed here by the building of C. N. and L. road is the contemplated Alliance warehouse. The road will be completed to this place before May 1st, and yet there is nothing at all being done to either build up or beautify the town. Cot tages and dwelling houses are in de mand for rent, and still there is not a propertyv owner erecting one. The town is without form or shape, and if we are to have a town, there should be some steps taken to- lay of the place with some -degree of system, with a view of opening wide new streets. We have frequently been asked, "where will your new depot be located," we answer, we don't know. There are only two places at or in town bS' which a depot could be reached, and they are at Wheeler & Moseley's mill, and at a point near Dr. McFall's where the railroad crosses t.he street, and at these places a wagon cannot turn around. There is private property at all other places along the road with no street touching or crossing it. The railroad (urniishes the opportunity for improve ment,but we are slow to take advantage of it. No houses, no Buildingand Loan Association to aid a poor man to bulid, no inducements held out to people to, come here, no nothing. We have only to go a few miles down this new road and we find at Chapin and near Spring Hill a spirit of enterprise which will insure a town. There you find the places beautifully laid out in large squares and lots, with wide streets, and a large and convenient lot given the railroad fora. depot, and the lota are sold remarkably cheap-some given away-and buildings are going up. The people there have an interest in their places and will build them up. Here if a man wants to purchase a lot, he is asked a life-time living for it, and the result ishe goes away disheartened. We sometimes think that our people think that our place is sufficiently large-that we don't want any nmore population-don't want any more stores-don't need any factories-don't need a national bank-don't need any more railroad facilitIes-don't need any more streets-they would go through somebody's land. In a word, our cup is full and running over, and we cry enough, enough, let us rest. Rest in peace. YUBE. Remember that Jones' Soda Water, Milk Shakes, Malto, Fruito, and Ice Cream are unexcelleal.

The ColoneP's energy is certainly a RIDGE ROAD AND CANNON'S CREEK On Wednesday night, 21st instant, about nine o'clock, there Was a distinct shock ~of earthquake felt throughout this section. Some persons who live in high frame houses report that the shock was pretty severe. Mrs. Lizzie Hunter is visiting in the Mt. Tabor section. Mr. and Mrs. Pet tus Loninick of No. 11 Township, were visiting in our section Saturday and Sabbath last, the guests of Mr. J. K. Epps and family. There was a good congregation in at tendance at Ridge Road churc,h on Sun day last. Rev. J. A. Sligh preached one of his usual stirring sermons from Romans 12: 2. We regret to learn that Mr. P. B. i Ellisor contemplates selling his place t and moving West. Last week was one of sunshine, and it just came in right for the farmers to gather their fodder. The principal part of the crop has been gathered, and we suppose a bett'r crop of fodder has never been stored away. Communion services will be held at cc St. Paul's Church on the third Sunday L in September, with preparatory services F on the Saturday previous. Next Sab bath, their regular day for preaching, there will be an election for a part of the church council. The elders will first be elected, and on the next preach- f ing day the deacons will be elected. n Communion services will be held at Mt. Tabor on the fourth Sunday, with preparatory services and a meeting of v the joint council on the Satnrday prc vious. "-The barbecue season is about out, rut N picnics are still in full bloom. We are d informed that there will be a picnic a and school exhibition at Mt. Pilgrim 0 to-morrow. a sc On Wednesday next.there will be a grand -exhibition and picnic of the Ex celsior school. Thanks for an invita- m tion to be present. The pastor and eouncil of Ridge Road * church have decided to have the fall vi communion on the second Sabbath in A October. It has been also decided to b dedicate the church at this time. On u account of bad crops for the past few years, and our congregation being com posed of small farmers, and only a few in number, an indebtedness of one hun- '1 dred dollars still remains on the church. 01 The congregation will end eavoi to raise t this amount by that Liime, and proba- B bly it will not be known as Ridge Road to church any longer. Full parttculars o, will be given later. b P A Farmers' Alliance was orgamzeJ 5 on Saturday last at Gallman Academy by W. D. Hardy, county organizer, with fifteen members and the follow- B ing officers: G. L. Sease, president; a Middleton Griffin, vice-president; J. J. Gallman, secretary; Lawson Fellers, e treasurer; W. F. Enlow, lecturer; Hil liard Long, assistant lecturer; W. M. Griffin, chaplain ; M. M. Long, door keeper; Ernest Fellers, assistant door keepef-; CG. L. Sease and S. H. Fellers, commiittee on warehouse. The alli ance will hold a called meeting next Saturday at 3 p. m. Well, the corn crop is about made, and, upon an average, is about as good as could be expected. So the question now is, what about king cotton? This is the crop that is agitating the minds of the most of our people, both in and out of town. This is the crop that will soon put speculation on a boom, and also give work to many idle hands that have been waiting patiently until the crop was made and gathered. Well, we farmers have nothing more than this to say: We have labored hard, and there has been nothlng lacking in this part. We have taken the liberty to say what kind of bagging it shall be Wrapped in. But some of the cottpn exchanges have said it will not be re ceived in the cotton bagging. If it is not put up in jute it will probably have tb be sold at a sacrifice to the farmers. e Now, fellow farmers, if there is not ~ some way lin which to pluck out that kind of middle men, we would just as - well tlbrow up our hands and quit. . . T. J. W. NOTEs FROM EXCELSIOR. Cotton opening rapidly. Miss Nellie Neel, of Newberry, spent' a few days last week with relatives in this community. Rev. M. M. Kinard went down to Columbia on-Saturday to fill his pulpit there on Sunday. Last week the weather .was fine and our farmers were busily engaged in the fodder fields. Early corn is good;.late corn not so good. Mr. T. L. Wheeler called out his hiands:last week and put his section of road from the Academy building to Mr. J. A. Rikard's residence, in good I traveling condition. In connection with other things of convenience, let us have good roads to travel over. - Mr. and Mrs: A. B. Piester, of Ridge Road, paid a brief visit to this com munity last week. Messrs J. S. Werts, S. L. Shealy, an d Ernest Werts went up to Saluda on Friday, to spend a few days with Mr. Win. Werts and family. A goodly number in this~ commnunity will attend the annual picnic and ex hibition of Mr. J. S. Wheeler's school at the Mt. Pilgrim Academiy on to morrow, Friday. A pleasant time is anticipated. The picnic and exhibition of Excel sior school will come off on Wednes day, the 4th day of September next. The public generally has a kind invi tation to attend the exercises. The ladies are requested to bring well filled baskets and let us all enjoy a pleasant day and a good dinner. Come one, conme all, and you too, Mr. Editor, and let all enjoy onrselves. The exercises will be held in the shady grove, as we have previously medtioned. SImxA. -Progress.
