right to my what they choose to
My, in favor or against Mr. Tillman.
We are all quiet in this section yet,
and hope to remain so.
—Tbe farmers of this section
have found, much to their sorrow,
that since tbe heavy rains their
crops are much damaged, more es
pecially in bottom lands where oats
or cotton is planted; though tbe
crops as a general thing look very
promising. We have had a bad
time for Mving oats, as they ripen

M. A. Mnldrow’s mill on the 11th

family should be withont an alma
nac, aa in this instance, with a very
oold easterly rain we were thinking
more of antnmn. Swing on toyonr
almanac for future reference. The
seasons seem to be getting awfnlly
mixed np; withont datM one is apt
to be led astray.
—Wa thought we occupied tbe
front seat in the wonder world by
rodneing an original poet farmer,
t alas for tbe vanities, how fleet!
Jnat as we had settled down to en
joy onr nnalloyed happioees, we are

had
—T. 0. Jeffords, “Oally’’ our
energetic young merchant and
farmer has a fine crop, aud is pro
gressing financially. Gaily ia far
above the average young man.
Girls we think it advisable to have
an eye single to him.
—Mr. John Russell, our door
neighbor has a good crop, and ia
keeping batohelora ball. John is a

matrimonial scale. We wish yon
well John, give ns a bid.

hopes of getting a wetting that was
promised, bat is sorry to My that

and aa his ticket -waa only good for
two days, he returned on the lint
homeward bound train a'oot; guess
that he found a dish of I’ah taters,
cabbage and peas awaiting him.
—It is very dear to onr hearts to
look back over the scenes of onr
childhood, boyhood, manhood,
neighborhood and every other hood,
how we have romped np and down
that memorable pike, and High
Hill Greek so near at hand, how
often have we visited it daring tbe
many dry summers, darned and
modded it for pike. We have seen

respects—fast horse and girl.

versity in Greenville. We were
pleased to have him with ns last
Sunday at High Hill.
—Taking a bird’s eye view from
tbe road we notice Mr. H. 0. By rd
has harvested some of his crop of
grass. H. G. if it is that way all
over, we think yon deserve.a brass
button.
—If the Skilletsville man don’t
make baste and get bis pinders
done and give ns another wboop,
we will make him forget bis skillet
and Bob (oh, I believe he signs bis
name Sam) won’t know what to do.
—Bill, we extend onr thanks to
you for your invitation to tbe com
meucemeuts, and we are going to
drive oar fast horse too, but we
will take good care to bold tbe
reins tight tor fear we might mash
down some body’s corn.
—Rev. G. B. Moore delivered a
grand sermon at High Hill last
Sunday afternoon. Subject, tbe
“Prodigal son.” We would like to
bear tbe one who can beat it. It
was pronounced by some of the
oldest members to be tbe best they
