people, whether placed on the town

plaints hare been make on this
score, and for a time there is no
violation, bat only for a time.

fine field of corn. He says he could
dodge the Sheriff in it.
—Mr. B. N. Howie has a field of
cottou, contaiuiug 30 acres, that
rivals any pet patch.
—We are glad to see that the
fashion of wearing bangs is becom
ing a little less namerous, for it is a
fashion that bangs out all others.
—We enjoyed the pic-nic at
Black Creek on last Saturday very
much with a small crowd of this
sectiou., We sounded the creek
more than once.
—We extend a cordial and stan
dard invitation to Simon and all
his friends, to attend all tWb com
mencements and pic nics of this
season. Come Simon, aud drive your
fast horse, if he breaks your buggy
G. W. Bass can mend it to last

—Some of our young men are
extremely fond of going visiting
where there is plenty of nice fruit
and a real pretty girl to boot.
—The Ebenezer B. B. Club has
thrown out quite a large banter for
a challenge. The Ebenezer must
be one of the champion clubs of the
Soutl)prn States, wout some oue
take it up!
—There is some talk of a pic nic
about the 3rd of July. It will be a
big day with the farmers. It is
thou* ht by some that there will be
speeches made by some of the mem
bers of the Wardsville Farmers’
Club.
—The mill-ponds are booming, and
lots of fish are lunning up Lake
Swamp, and into Garner’s pond,
that is those that escape being
caught by the fishermen in the
waste-way. We are sorry our grass
won’t die a natural death, so we
could go fishing loo.
STOKES BRIDGE.
—The crops in this community
are looking well, notwithstanding
the many disadvantages.
—Dysentery is prevailing in this
community to an alarming extent,
causing the general health of our
community to be greatly improved.
—We have had an abundance ot
raiu in this community, too much
for the growing crops, except
spring oats which promises a fair
crop.

CENTRE.
—Well Bill! your uncle is a pri
mary man. Wbat say you to that.
—Corn crops are looking well,
cotton crops are sorry. Stands are
generally very bad. Tbe grass aud
rains have ruined the best cotton,
lice are very bad thia year.
—On laat Thursday, afternoon a
olond came from the northwest,
and let na have a yoang flood of
rain. There was same hail and a
slight wind. It rained so there
wae good boating on any of onr pood
lands. We heard a neighbor say
that be had a barrel ia tbe yard
with tbe bead oat, and the bang
np, and it rained in the bong faster
than it could ran out at tbe bead,
•» • w.-v»
—So Mr. E. L. G., Lamar is on its
first legs is it. If that is the case,
by pitch, tar !and turpentine, we
think it ought to stay so, espreiah
if it’s running tbe dry ticket.
—Bill, jen said that when piett
names were being shared out we
mast have been behind tbe door.
We want yon to understand that
we stepped oat first and then hau
to bring yon out. So that accounts
for the horrid name that you have
taken. Bat it don’t make any
difference, we jnst wanted yon to
have a name so we coaid give yon
‘•hail Columbia” when ever we wan
ted to.
Now Bill if you laugh, we will all laugh
with you,
But if you weep, you will weep alone.
And we know when twelve o'clock comee,
Bill want* to hear that horn.
—Many thanks for your kind
invitation to us, to go to see .\ou,
and we think we will avail our
selves of the first opportunity to do
so. But when we do, we don’t
want to tramp around in the hot
sun to look at your flue crops.
They may be fine, but we don’t
think they are extraordinary.
When we go to see you we want to
eat watermelons and lay up in tbe
shade and drink lemonade. Now
if yon think yon can give us that
and more too, yon may look for
us. Simon.
EARLY’S X ROADS.
—The green plum and cucumber
are getting in their work here and
the doctors are busy in the land.
—Tbe crops are looking well in
this section. The oat harvest is
upon ns, bat tbe crop is reported
as being very light. No cotton
bloom yet.
—The Farmers Club at this place
isin a floarishing condition and a
very appropriate name for it ap
peared in some newspaper. It is to
be known henceforth as I. O. O. K.
L. or Independent Order of Knights
of Leisure.
—Where iu the thunder is Stokes
Bridget We trust that last win
ter’s freeziug has not killed him out
or that this spring’s freshets have
washed away that historic bridge
from whence so many dot-gems
emanated. Trot out to the light
aud explain yourself or the man
from the Centre will light on you
Hartsville seems to have ruu into
his hole and dragged the bole in
after him, as nothing has been
heard of him iu some time. Come
out Hartsville and let os bear from
you. There is Lydia; she most
have got married, tor she has
thrown aside her friends and wil:
not let us know by a single dot
that she exists among the living.
Come out and uail y< ur colors to
the masthead, give us a white lie
occasional,v and dout let tbe Ebe
nezer man sweep the decks of that
commodity. He is a brilliant fel
low and seems to have an exhau-r
less fund by the way he sticks to
business. If Lamar with its two
reporters can’t tell us where Ski!
lettsville is, then we move that hei
staff' of reporters lie cut down to
one. The Tmitnonsville man seems
like the rest of us to be short on
news since the Tramway engine
ceased to make the forests ring.
The Oats X Roads man, since i e
has got au engine in his vicinity
seems above slinging a line to an .
body. Wake up boys and girls all
along the line. This is not the yeai
predicted for a general col lain* of
this planet.
