Lake City, April 29:?Phew! The clickety-click of the keys weren't so bad after all, considering an absence of twelve days, during which time several wonderful events have happened to the clicker hereof: First, the receiving of tbe prize so much desired, the diamond ring; second (largest and most impressive,) a genuine case of "les mumps," emphatically plural, and last, but not least, lovely July weather. Like one's personal correspondence, Mr Editor, just delay writing and see the result. Only one week's delinquency has demoralized your correspondent's (I should have said "versatile") usual brilliant flow of news thoughts until even the typewriter refuses to think for her, and you know thoughts without words never newspaperwards go. But?much interest is manifested in the musical recital to be given on Friday evening by Misses Mayme Graham and Bessye Blizzard, pupils of Miss Mayme Green's music classes. The young ladies have been practicing since the last recital for this event and it is anticipated that many interesting and lovely selections, the technic whereof to be as pleasant as they are difficult, will be rendered. Quantities of strawberries are being expressed from this point daily to Northern markets. While Lake | City is not the strawberry center it used to be, it still is one of the leading truck markets of the State, and in a few days shipping various truck produce will commence in earnest. Strawberries are bringing big prices, not only in the Northern markets, but also right here at home. The luscious fruit has a ready demand, and the few farmers who cultivate it are reaping their reward at this season. Work is progressing rapidly on the addition to the Imperial stemmery plant, under the direct supervision of Mr Hutson, who has been here interested in the matter for the last month. The repairs and additions to the Star warehouse are being rapidly carried on and when completed this sales warehouse will be fully as large as the Bowen-Holloway brick I NO. 2 ire going lively.

Crops in this section are looking very fine, especially cdtton. Some of our hustling farmers are now "scraping" over the second time and will start to chopping to a stand next week. Tobacco plants are looking well. We are told that the Methodist district conference at Greelyville is being very largely attended.
