DQwling is making a kiln of brick. Mr. J. M. Dowling is attend ing school at Union Academy There will be services here next Sunday at 11 o’clock a. m. Miss Vista Garner’s school at Indian Branch closed last Fri day. Some of our tobacco growers will begin transplanting this week. Mr. M N. Sansbury has been very sick with pneumonia, but he is better now. Mr. L. M. Lawson’s school closed last Friday with an ex hibition, as was announced; the exercises began at 8 o’clock p. m. by which time quite a la-ge crowd had gathered at the Aca demy; all the a Ijoining sections were well represented, and every body seemed anxious to witness the first entertainment ever given by our school. Not withstanding the fact that Mr. Lawson’s pupils are nearly all small children, they all acquit ted themselves ; n a most credit able and praiseworthy manner. The exercises consisted of speeches, recitations, dialogues, farces, tableaux, &e. A dialo gue “Too Much of A Good Thing”, by Lena Raines, J. M. Dowling, Catharine Stokes. Sal- lie Dowling, Sallie Gray, Lizzie Stewart, Mary Raines, Hoke Raines and Sammie Truett, was well performed and very inter esting. A farce “Jumbo Jum” by J. M. Dowling, Sammie Truett, Hoke Raines, Warley Stokes, Minnie Gray, Lizzie Stewart and Bertha Stewart, afforded all the laughter the people were looking for, and was well played. The intervals between the regular number on the programme were enliven ed with excellent music by Mr. L. E. Watford, Jr., organist, and Mr. Preston Carter, violin ist. Altogether Mr. Lawson deserves much credit for his splendid success. In his kind and winning way he has gained a high place in the affections of his pupils and patrons. Call and inspect our nice new and cheap goods at our new store; Blackwell Bros. Two cans of Taylor’s “One Spoon” baking powder for 5 cents; Sims & Young. OATS. Our tobacco farmers are get ting their lands ready for the plants. Messrs. J. 0. Clements and Jas. Register transplanted sev eral acres of tobacco last week. We are glad to be able to re port that Mr. Junius Mann has recovered from his recent illness and returned to school. Whooping cough is going the rounds. Mr. and Mrs. Wash. Bell lost one of their children last week with it. Mr. Stephen Andrews, an aged gentleman, is lying very ill at his home near here. Grave fears are entertained that he will not recover. A goodly number from here attended the closing exercises of Mr. L. M. Lawson’s school at Philadelphia. They report that they were highly entertaided. The I. O. G. T. have changed their time of meeting from every Saturday afternoon toth.^j second and fourth Friday even ings in every month, at seven o’clock. Mr. Stuckey, the youngest son of Capt. Stuckey, of Bishop- ville, was in our community last week. Mr. Stuckey has re cently returned from Gaines ville, Fla., on account of his father’s ill health. The pupils of Prof. _ Mann’s school are having some interest ing debates. Especially so was the one last Friday, the query being “Was the life of Napoleon Bonaparte worthy of admira tion?” The chairman rendered his decision in favor of the neg ative. A cutting affray occured near here a few nights ago. among some negroes, in which one Josephine Slater had her arm badly cut, by a razor in the hands of one Ida Jackson. Friends of the parties interfered, and prevented what might have been a serious affray. The wounds were dressed by Dr. 8. D. Harrell, and the injured wo man is doing well. HjotWtLL. Two Mormau elders passed through our community last week. Mrs. E. 0. Reynolds, of Cy press, is spending some time with Mrs. Kate Huggins. Although farm work was thrown back, most of the farm ers are through planting. Some of our people are dis couraged about tobacco, as they have failed in getting plants up, owiug to a too liberal applica tion of fertilizers. We hope that in the near fu ture our roads will have better attention: they are almost im passable in some places. Such a state of affairs should not be tolerated, as there is not the slightest excuse for it. Mr. E. C. Reynolds is making some substantial improvements on his farm in the way of fenc ing and ditching, if others will follow his example, especially in the matter of drainage, we think the results would warrant the outlay. LAMAR. Mumps are prevalent among our people. Our low lands remain too wet for preparation for the seed. Mr. G. W. Mims is the first to set out tobacco plants in.this section. Dr. J. A. Cole returned from a visit to his sister, Mrs. Doug las, of Cheraw, on Friday. Mr. Browu G. Pitts, of this place, left on the 15th. inst. for the South Carolina College. Mr. Rivers, of Darlington, and Mr. T. E. Early spent last Thursday night with us. They are selling tobacco flues. Messrs. D. C. Reynolds and J. A. Cole have commenced the operation of a mammoth brick yard at this place. CYPRESS. A few farmers have good stands of cotton, bui corn is poor. Mr. T. J. McLendon has some fine cows for sale on reasonable terms. Mr. C. W. DuBose, of Carters- ville, spent Sunday with rela tives here. Mr. and Mrs. Luther E. Du Bose have recently visited friends at this place. When the farmers get through planting it would be a good time to put the roads in proper condition. Miss Dora Williams died on last Wednesday. Her remains were interred at this place the following day, Rev. C. D. Mann conducting the funeral services, which were largely attended. Splendid line of clothing just opened: men’s suits for $4.50; can’t be beat; Blackwell Bros. CLYDE. Mr. B. L. Outlaw has the fin est tobacco plants we have seen.
