PROVIDENCE, S. C., Aug. 6, 1885. Mr. Editor: This plac?is becoming more lively each week. Those who bare Summer houses here have moved in, and several are in search of rooms to. rent, in anticipation of the annual meeting at the Methodist Church which commences the 8tb, and which will be pro? tracted. Dr. A. A. Sylvester, of Columbia, is visit? ing the family of his brother-in-law, Mr. W. F. Wright. Rain is much needed in some sections. Vegetation is extremely luxuriant, and a drouth at this time would develop malaria in places which have been entirely free from it toras far? - a regret to report the death of Mr. W. ?. LwnojD, who passed away yesterday after a mjort illness, from bilious fever, leaving a r&nng and interesting family. ?li: Basting Boy kin has also been sorely ? dieted in the loss of his wife who died after ? Vhort iliness. ?.W.A. Weldon's bouse was robbed recen t a considerable amount of clothing and a of pistols. One. Mack Oliver is sa spec ted log the gatty person as he has defrauded other parties and skipped. The change of mail days suggested by "C." will not relieve the present inconvenience, for if the mail should leave Stateburg o a Tues? days, Thursdays and Saturdays, after the Charleston mail arrives there, it wonld not reach Providence till after dark, and we would sot get our mail until the day, after, as at present. So that change would be useless and will have to content himself with stale lews from this point until more rapid transit s arranged. It is somewhat singular that mr Neighbor--should favor this slow, route nrben. it grates so much upon his taste to "ead ^matter that has been digested." Let? er* sent the present circu?tuous route take 4 lays to reach Sumter, where formerly two sours ?as sufficient. So let us have no ob? stacle tfrown in the way of rapid transi t.

Mr. Editor: The fine season* that have vis? ited us BO regularly daring the year seem to have bid ns ?dien, and at this time a drdngbt is apparent, which would be truly disastrous to cotton in its sappy state. Corn is abodf safe? Peas are floe. On the 29th nit. the heaviest rain for years fell a few miles aroohd Smithville, and tore np?he mills of Mrs. Brown,"M? Boss and Mr. Cato. Dr. E. J. Rembert and Mr. William El 1er be saved theirs by ^catting the dams. This is the worst smash np bf mills at one time ever known here. The damage to these 'peopl??s heavy, and nai inconvenienced their patrons abont grinding a great, deal. Dr. Rembert and Mr. E?re?be have repaired suffi? ciently to commence grinding again. Capt. J. H.^cXeod'cont?nnes't? improve. The long looked-for pointers on the roads have come, bot some of them are incorrect in figores. ? person standing at Pisgah Church would'not know which fork to take to go to Sumter. The pointer on the right fork says; "To Providence 5J miles"-3J miles short of th? groper distance. K?w ?wonld have written that pointer thus : "To Gallard's X Roads 7 miles-to Sumter 18 miles." But the Post Office ia at the Cross Roads, and ?ably they alluded to that, but Providence liles from there. Rather, confosinj Wil in the'ties. Mr. John J; Team says, with one plowj he will make from 12 to 15 bales cotton, and 400 bushels corn, bat recent news from him that his corn will now make 600 tb 800 bushels. "Now, who can make a better showing than that? Let's have it. ' WISE SAYINGS.

C., A og.-10, 1885. Mr. Editor: The subject that is more freely discussed than the death and final rest? ing place of Grant's body is that of road work? ing. As has been said before, the roads were ordered to be cleared 20 feet. By some over? seers this was done, bat others did not do so, and, consequently, have been ordered ont again this week. : Those overseers whom I hare heard specially complimented for dis? charging their duty without fear or favor, are .Messrs. Joo. C. Parnell and E. F. McCntcbeo. There are probably, others who deserve credit for their faithful performance of a public da ty also. We have had little rain in three weeks and cotton is rapidly failing in consequence there? of. I have beard nothing of the caterpillar in this section. Cotton has began opening in places. The bridges across the swamp at Mannville have nearly been completed. There is now no delay in crossing. Mrs. Dr. Joe. M. Thompson, of Silver Street Newberry County, and Messrs. Joe and Tay? lor Cresswell, of Fort Mott, are visiting rela? tives in thia County. Mr. Editor, will yon not tell ns. all yon know, some time soon, of "The Silver Ques? tion," we hear so much of? It is hard for some of ns to understand it, and, to os who have so little si? fer, it seems strange that the continued coinage of it will ruin the country. Please enlighten as. [All-right.-En.] Those Southern Editors who have been so sorely grieved because of the death of Gen.. Grant deserve the pity of the people. But "above all things the haman heart is deceitful and desperately wicked," and I believe this is a fall explanation for them. With this issue, Mr. Editor, the undersign? ed makes his prettiest bow and takes bis exit. N. A. T. Shiloh Items. SHILOH, S. C., August 7, 1885. Jfr. Editor : There is to be seen in the col? umns of your valnable paper, each week, let? ters from different sections of oar County which go to show the condition of affairs gen? erally. Crops are, of coarse, a great necessity and therefore interesting to all to see sacb glowing reports in favor of good crops.

The symptoos are loss of appetite, loss of flesh, a feeling of fullness or weight io the stomach, occasionaly nausea and vomit? ing, acidity, flatulence, dull pain in the head, with a sensation of heaviness or giddiness, irregularity of bowels, low spirits, sleepless? ness, sallow : skin, derangement of kidneys, and not un frequently palpitation cf tbe heart.
