FKOM MAGNOLIA. Oar .Correspondset Writes Many Pretty Things About* Tins Thriving Village. Sir. Editor: From extreme wet we fa re extreme dry weather, which is a great set j back to the farming ioterest of this country, i bat notwithstanding ali tbese unfavorable j feataresoar farmers, undismayed, are sbov-! iog ahead for all they are worth. When we j coxrpareoer condition with those of the Mi3- j srssippi Valley, mattering sounds reposter- j ons, and is intolerable. Tho completion of Dr. Darby's new drug store adds one more attractive building to onr little town. Tbe drug business here will now be in the hands of Drs. Dorby <& Mc Cntcben, who -will keep a first class drug store, io every respect. Hr. T. N. Griffin will no longer bandle drags, having sold out this part of bis business to the new firm. .This little town, situated about two miles southwest of Lyncbe's River on the W. C. & A. R. R., is no quite a boom, and ere long bids fair to be a recognized rival of some of her now larger sister towns. With such live firms or bnsues houses as Mr. T. N. Griffin, "with onr genial and smiling Prank behind the counter, Mr. S. Copeland, with pleasant Henry to serve yon, and Messrs. Miller Bros., with Major John, so pleasant and willing to Trait on you, we bave the brightest hopes fer the future of Magnolia. Mr. C. Taylor, represented by brother Elie , has only recently opened up. We have also the fiaest cotton gin ia the State, owned, and managed by our enterprise * experienced friend, S. Kilpatrick. Messrs Taylor and Cannon Wilson are preparing to do any kind of work in their line as blacksmiths. We hare a firs' class school taught by Mrs. J. S. Potts. Onr lands will compare with the finest in this Stat*. . In short, we have ail the natural and artificia) resources to'mak rbis a mos; desirable portion of Sumter County. We have three churches-Metho dist, Baptist and Presbyterian, aod from one to two sermons any Sabbath, though our sis ter Lynchburg, a small but pretty town* about ose mile southeast of us, may claim two of these churches ; if so, we grant it. Oar railroad station here still retains the name Lynchburg, though it is oftentimes a little confusing to persons unacquainted with the topography of this sect iou. It is possi ble that this portion of our county may change its ns me in the near future, bot tben the schemers tell us that this eas be accom plished without the necessity or discomfort of onr having to move onr place of abode to i effect it. "A rose by any other name smells jost 5 sweet/' bot yet we don't take to the change. We lore tbe name of the county in wbicb onr fathers and mothers tired and died-Sumter County ! Mr. Thomas McIntosh, soo of our old friend Frank,.who went to New Your some three months ago to accept a position as salesman, returned several days ago, and there was rejoicing over that boy, akin to the "Prodigal Soo." We have begun of late years, to feel very anxious obont the eyes of a great many of oar most promising yoong men, who are forced (?) to wear glasses at such aa early age. A big per cent of ths young preachers have {?) to wear spectacles in gold frames. In fine, it is their own business, but then, this does not relieve our distress' about them. OCCASIONAL. Tableaux in Privateer. Mr. Editor : The meeting of the Amuse ment Club, held last Friday night at the resi dence of Mr. John M. Tindal, was one of so much interest that I send you an account of the proceedings. First there was a masquerade party, which was quite amusing. Ghost like forms flitted about and tbere were others- not attired in sbeats, who were dressed to represent differ ent characters This was followed bj nine tableaux, and arooTjg' those Tho took part were Misses Helen and Bonaie Brown, Jimrrie Brennan, Gertie and Nellie Epperson of your city. The following is the programme of the ta'nleanx and the naoe3 of those who took peri : Guard X O A o eel-Misses Sadie Forman, Helen Brown, Talulab aod Rene Ramsey, Annie Wbildeo and Nellie Epperson. Huguenot Lovers-Mr. Drane Tindal and Miss Talulah Ramsey. Niobe-Misses Gerty and Nellie Epperson, Annie Wbilden and Julia Gresbman. Under the Mistleto-Mr. Harry Cuttino and Miss Jimmie Brenna:. Cleopatra's Court-Misses Uua Wells, Talolab Ramsey, Helen Brown, Jimmie Brennan, Gertieand Nellie Epperson Graces-Misses Helen Browc, Sudie Fur man and Rene Ramsey. Napoleon Divorcing Josephine-Mr. Mc Donald Furman and Miss Gertie Epperson. Ancient and Modern Love4-Dr. Richard Forman and Mr. Jimmie Wbilden and Misses Jimmie Brennan and Rene Ramsey. Cleopatra before Caesar-Messrs. Heyward Ramsey, Drane Tindal and Willie Brown, and Misses Bonnie Brown, Lizzie Whilden and Helen Brown. As will be seen from the above interesting programme, ancient and moderno his oryj as weJl as classic mythology and the sentim tal world, was represented. Some of the tableaux were exceedingly pretty and ail were interesting. Taking them as a whole, they were rot only creditable, bot richly worth attending. After they were over, the time was passed ia music and games, and there was a recitation from Miss Gertie Epperson. The evening was one of much pleasure and interest, and Miss Beulah Tindal to whom the success of the evening was largely due, is to be heartly congratulated. MCDONALD FCRMAN.

Mr. Editor: Our county commissioners must think our county is getting rich, or think that it don't hurt the tax payers to pay bigb taxea. We notice that they are hiring overseers and paying them Si per day to oversee the working of the roads Now we hive been figuring a little on what it will cost the county : there are three overseers to each township and sixteen townships in the county, it will take each overseer about thirty days to have all those liable to road duly to work the rfquirea" number of days. Now three times thirty are ninety and sixteen t'n:e3 ninety, fourteen hundred and forty dollars the county will have to pay for something that heretofore cost the county nothing, and for which no batter service will be rendered. We would like to inquire, why the change? Mrs. J. R. Coroeit is very sick, also Col. S. M. Bojkio. With exceptions mentioned, the bealtb of our community is very good. We are just beginning to chop cotton, ot which we bave a very good stand. Oats are very promising, as is a so toe fruit crop. Gardens are looking well.

HEAVY GOLD EXPORTS. Washington, April 24.-The Sec retary of the Treasury to day ie ceived a telegram from Assistant Treasurer Jordan, at New York, stat ing that $977,000 in gold bullion had been ordered for export This is the first withdrawal of any considerable amount since July 22, 1896, when 2,000,000 was withdrawn, the last of a heavy series of shipments, ex tending through a number of months. To day's ot der has been anticipated for a number days, sterling ex hange having been dangerously near the shipping " point The treasury offi cials are not disturbed, and do not anticipate any general export move meut In any event they say they are perfectly 6ure that European holders are not selling American se curities because of any distrust or want of confidence in them The outbreak of hostilities between Greece and Turkey is regarded as probably responsible for the present demand for gold Further than this the officials do not care to express an opinion.

Mill villages extend around the city, aDd the new terminal of the Southern Railway adds aoother feeder There is a general feeling of congram lation that Greenville will have a first class street railway system. Sally In Evans' Alley. On the streets yesterday nothing but Sally of the flaxen mane .od tail wa to be beard. She was discussed on all sides. Major Evans' life was made a burden to him by questions fired at him io volleys, at random and almost every other "old way." The governor, io the sanctity of his office, was n t pes tered. As the college boys came back from the ball grounds by the executive maosioo they gave three times tbree hearty cheers for Sally and kept the shoot up as long as they were within earshot. Sally was not there, however, to make acknowledgements for the com pliment. Major B. B. Evans and bis friend, Gen. John Gary Watts, were even then driving her over the city Under the law Major Evana is allowed to retain possession uotii five day3 after court adjourns, and, having appealed, uotii the supreme court passes on the case. Major Evans announced last night that he is going to appeal. Ten days remain in which to file the appeal He will consequently continue to drive Sally until next fall in any event-The State. > Honduras Revolt. New Orleans, April 26.-The steam er Breakwater arrivedto-day, bringing ing.the latest news of the Honduras revolution.. The revolutionary move ment, the passengers say, is directed by ex President De Soto, who is said to be in Belize ready to land io Hand uras when the occasion is promising. The attack on Puerto Cortez was sudden and took the government com pletely by surprise. The attackiLg party was composed mainly of Ameri cans and Englishmen. Tney opened fire with Gatling guns on government the forces, 600 in number, and the latter took to the woods. The revolutionists found the people of Puerto Cortez very friendly. President Booillo, while pre tending to be well disposed towards Americans, is hostile to them. Enrich ed by custom house receipts, Drum mond and bis little baud captured all the neighboring villages, attacked the town of San Pedro, where the govero ruent force, 300 io number, were put to flight. Drummond aod his little army, weil armed, started on a march last week to Tegucigalpa, the capital of the republic. The feeliog on the At lantic coast of Honduras is that the revolution will be successful. How the Strike Was Not Set tied.

A Vision of a Gold Mine That In Reality Came to Pass. To dream of a gold raine in a distant part of the country and from such data to locate the claim among hundreds of others is a piece of luck that tho eldest prospector would hardly dare to hope I fer. Yet a woman living 200 miles from that El Dorado known to thc outer world as Cripple Creek, following the dictates of a seven times repeated vision, has succeeded in doing this very thing, and is today operating one of the most suc cessful mines in the whole district. Seven consecutive times did Mrs. Law dream of the same place. In each vision appeared a tall pine, towering above the surrounding forest, and a deep ravine, with a stream of silvery water winding through ir, deep sunk between two mountains. These mountains seem ed characteristic cf the country. They were abrupt peaks rising high above the surrounding foothills, outlined gray and cold against a bright blue sky. Eut what mountains they were, or what di rection to take to find them, Mrs. Law had no idea. A pleasure journey took her through Colorado. The way was long, and the trip across the seemingly eternal flat lands had become almost intolerable, when suddenly, as the train was entering the foothills, as the glanced through the car window, there tir se before lier astonished gaze, clear and distinct against thc blue Colorado sky, the fa miliar twin mountains of her vision. As the train pursued its sinuous way there appeared before her waking eyes the valley which she had seen so often in sleep, and through the center flowed the silvery belt of water which had become so familiar. "'Tis the land of my dreams, my El Dorado!" exclaimed Mrs. Law. "Gold is there, and I know it." Her exclama tions excited some comment among the passengers, but no one thought seriously about it. But some weeks later Mrs. Law, accompanied by two friends and her husband-who had ceased to be skeptical-appeared on a buckboard in the vicinity of what is now thc outskirt ; of Cripple Creek, and with a determina tion not to hii daunted by difficulties staked out a claim in the valley. Mrs. Law was now able to organize a company, incorporated under thc name ?i the Dream Lode Mining company. It was formed entirely of wemen, and a weman lawyer was employed to sro that it was duly cr ditedin Fjuisas City with 200,000 shares at $3 each.-Phila delphia Press. Thc Korean P*inily Shrine.

In the neigiiborhccd cf a place called Hunts burg, near Oldenburg, two little boys, aged respectively 8 and 12, were left by their mother at heme to take care of the house. A man with blackened face and in black attire suddenly entered and announced himself to the scared little mites as his satanic majesty. "I am the devil. "Where do yon keep your money?' ' They instantly pointed toward the massive trunk where the modest wealth of the parents was treasured up. While, however, the mtrky .looking impostor was ransacking the chest, the younger of the two boys whispered to his broth er, "Go and fetch the gun and shoot tho devil dead." The brother jumped at the idea, fetch ed the loaded weapon, crept up to the j unsuspecting thief and lodged the whole j charge in his back. He fell back dead. -London Telegraph.
