Sattirday morning between tbe first

ing been broken, Wardsville being
still ahead, A picnic was given in
honor of the clubs, the dinner held
at^he MoCowu residence. There
were many .visitors from Society
Hill, Darlington, Florence, Tim-
mbnsvillft, and other towns in the
county, with representation from
NV ilnhugton. In the afternoon
there was dapping, in which the
yopng people took fall pleasure.
The day passed off very pleasantly
and was enjoyed to the full ex
tent,
ASHLAND.
-r-We are having very hot, drv
weather,
—Ashland is a brand now post-
oftice and 3 miles north of Stokes
Bridge.
—Crops are generally very sorry
in this part of the county. We will
have to get favorable seasons to
make over one-half a crop of cotton.
—Mr. James N. Moore has the
finest field.of cotton ig this commu
nity.
—Watermelons are very scarce
and inferior. But we have plenty of
peaches.—[The News ain’t seen any
peaches this year, but wouldn’t
mind samplin’ some. We like clear-
stoues aud presses the best.—Derif.
—After a long aud painful illness
Mrs. Olivia Grantham departed
this life on the 15th instant, leaving
a mother, husband, =keveral broth
ers aud sisters and a host ot rela
tives and friends to mourn her loss.
Her remains were interred in the
Hebron cemetery.
—A match gamp of base ball was
played on the 33rd instant, between
the Tiller’s Ferry and Buffalo cfUbs.
At; the close of the|uiutb inning tbe
score stood, 31 to 13 in favor of Til
ler’s Ferry In connection with the
match a delightful pic uic was'gjv-
en at the grove near by.
—On Friday evening, the 16th
instant your correspondent had the
pleasure of attending the reading
club at Oats. I found it quite flour
ishing. In due time the club was
called to order by the president,
Prof. Luther Harrell. The house
was crowded. The exercises were
amusing, inti-resting and instruc
tive- Perhaps the most impressive
part of the meeting was the beauty
of the young laijU'S.
—On tbe 21st we attended Child
ren’s Day at the Cypress, but for
want of time aud space I cannot
say much. There w as quite a large
crowd on the grounds very early.
The exercises were carried out very
nicely indeed, reflecting credit on
the Sunday-school workers and tbe
commuuiiv. The address by the
Rev, Mr. El well, of Bisbopville, w.is
quite interesting and instructive.
About 12.30 dinner was announced.
If the most dainty epicure had been
present he couid have only exclaim
ed, “it is all here, aud prepared in
the proper manner. #

r—We want a little rain now $ the
crops u ed it, and we need it too, to
lay the dust aud cool the air,
—The dull season is certainly
upon us and our merchants aud
their clerks find it harj work to
puli through theac foug sniamer
days.

of Rev. W. C. Power and W Z,
Nettles will be completed j others
have been completed and occupied
recently.

gin, self feeder and condenser, op

see it to be the most perfect and
substantial gin in the market.
—The Florence Democratic club
met last Thursday night and elect
ed 14 delegates to the county con
veulion. The club passed a resolu
tion opposing the primary plan,
and instructing the delegation ac
cordiugly.
—The health of Florence has’
been very good, though we have
had a few fatal cases ot fever among
young people. The fact is that this
is one of the best drained towns in
the State, aud our city fathers keep
things clean and sweet as a nut
—Hon. Geo. W. Dargan has some
opposition I understand in other
parts of his district, aud it is feared
that some good man like J. M.
Johnson, H. H. Mewton, or Knox
Livingston will be trotted out only
to be defeated. Mr. Dar^aii will no
doubt be xenomiuated aud there is
no use to put up such good men as
those named, to b* slaughtered at
this time. Wait your turn boys;
don’t rurf before the word “go!’’
—The name of Hon. W. G. Coker
for Govoruor is the battle cry, and
this precinct would ,bo proud to
roll up a full vote for this disting
uished son of Darlington. There is
nc man in the Democratic party
that would be more acceptable to
all the iieople of South Carolina.
