at present.
—This Motion of the oonnty is in
favor of primary elections, so far as
we can learn.
—The com crops in this section
are good, hot cotton is generally
very small and grassy. Labor is
very scarce, and unless tbe lien law
is repealed by tbe next legislature
not many farmers will plant cotton
depending on hired hands to hoe it
Farmers are using torn plows in
their jot ton to cover np tbe grass
as they cannot get it cat oat with
the hoe.

years old who can sop np two bar
rels of molasses a year and then

—Lamar has a man with wife and
six children and who bas never had
a physician in his borne on a pro
fessional visit His doctor’s bills
daring tbe time has amounted to
82.50.
—Mr. Jacob Spears, a merchant
of this place and dealer in live
stock, believes in making things
meet He still has some of last
year’s cotton on band with which
to mart tbe new crop.
—And now we bear from Early’s
X Roads that we mast find Skilletts-

cial this Notary Public is.

remedy t

wbo baa been very ill in Sumter,
is rapidly convalescing and will be
borne aooo.
—Next we find onrself at W.
E. Dargan’s plantation, under the
supervision of Mr. Morgau Lewis.
We think it one of tbe best crops
ever made on the place.
—Mr. J. K. Large, oar model far
mer, has tbe cleanest crop that we
have seen, though h s cotton is not
ao large, as be (ailed to get a rtand
at tbe first planting. He bas pleu
ty of ripe melons; sorry, however
we have not helped him eat any.
—Now let ns cross the creek, and
we find onraelves at Mr. S. J.
Borob’s, one of onr most estimable
citizens. He is still quite sick, but
we are glad to note something bet
ter. His crop is looking well, un
der the management of bis son Ned.
—Tbe NBWS is getting to be very
interesting, especially around tbe
Centro, as 1 saw Simon Iasi Tues
day, after tbe rain, quietly walking
along tbe rood, with bit journal un
der hia arm, hat at half-cock and
pencil oyer his ear, earnestly in
search of dots for the Nxws.
—Is the Nbws of Jane 17, your
Swift Creek reporter intimated that
be was somewnat disgusted with
the lovely fashion of banging tbe
hair. Now BUI, ws are surprised
to bear snob from yoa. This sec
tian is blessed with several young
ladies who sport bangs and even
the young lady who so sweetly
slipped that little charm on yoor
watch chain wears bangs.
—Next in order is onr young
friend and sport, N. B. Jordan. He
has a very good crop; some very
fine cotton and tbe best field of corn
wa have seen. Bony, oM chick, we
think yon mean to bring her in
some time soon, by the way yoa
drive that gray Wa wish yon well,
and hope that yon may make no
(stake after waiting so long.

CENTRE.
—Ob, why wont the skeeters give
ns a little vacation f Bill, they are
awfnl down here.
—We were pleased to hear a
sermon last Sanday afternoon In
Mr. Hartwell Edwards, at High
Hill.
—Tbe health of this neighbor
hood is very good, giving the Dr’s
plenty of time to attend to the
grass.
—Ebenezer, we wish we oonld
report abont a pic nic, bat alas!
gross is too nnmeroas is the cry,
but just wait until melons get ripe
and then we will tarn oar attention
to pic-utos; bat we are not going
to give yon a bid.
—Bill, bow is tbe crops and fish
ds in your part of tbe continent t
do not think Nero will do much
fishing in High Hill Creek, or np
and down Tnrn Pike either. 1 think
all tbe pike has been caught oat.
I guess if he was to try he would
find himself oanght by an over dose
of mosquitoes. We advise him to
fish on west Tnru Pike.
—We advise all the young dudes
in this part of tbe country, wbo are
contemplating matrimony to pay
a visit to Mr. J. J. Gandy’s farm,
and take notioe bow he manages,
for we jnst tell you his crop is hard
to beat for a young farmer Bat
we have energetic farmers, all
through onr neighborhood. If you
want to see good farms, just oast
au eye all through Smoot town.
—Where in the tomwalker, chisel
and gonge, did Nero come from f
Gness from some cold country, as
he liked to have had it zero. Un
lucky for him, be don’t know any
thing abont onr warm climate. Just
wait a little while and we will beat
him up to one hundred degrees, in
the shade. Nero says we had to
come back from tbe city of Lamar
afoot. Sorry to say he misapprehen
ded ns. We did not go, therefore
did not have very far to heel it
back, and as for onr taters and
beaus, be just wishes he oould have
some too. And again, Mr. Nero
says we must have been jealous of
his young friend in two respects -
young lady and fast horse. We
very readily admit that both were
enviable with most any of the yonug
dudes in this part of Europe, bat
we kinder think Nero mast have
been wandering in his miud a little
when be applied that word to us.
Well, we will excuse him for that
little error as we think it was ex
temporaneous, providing he will
find out and mind wbo he is tam
pering with in the future.
