The ta. piece, taken from one of Louisa Al? cott's popular books, "Little Men," in which ten of the children took part, was one of the most entertaining on $he programme.

Large ' clouds are gathering in the north and west, arid the'wind is howl? ing furiously-almost?'a storm. So we and the t hureau, too, ; had better with? hold1 expressions of opinion, until ! there are unmistakable signs of set? tled weather. / Dr. E. F.? Darby returned from Mayo,. Fla 'ast rrigt.t via.

The doctor said many nice things- about Mayo, Fla., and its people. The town is at the terminus of a short railroad about 25 miles from Live Oak, Fla., and setted by excellent people. Doctor Darby said he caught quantities of fish out of the Suwanee river during his stay in Florida, and while glid? ing along on the swift, but smooth current of the river, which carries with it assentiment, he copid not re? frain from' h-ummifig ?niusically "ad? ded) the bid and ever familiar song, "Way Down on the Suwanee River."

C., May 9.-Down in the lower part of Lee county is an impos? ing church. Up to a few years ago this church was known in the South ^Carolina conference as Rock church, being originally built on rocks of Stony Runn on the hill by which stream it stood, but now it is called Wells' church. On these . ?ame grounds is Wells' school, whose teach? er, Miss Mattie Jackson, closed her second term last Saturday with a most creditable entertainment of recitations songs and dialogues. It is exceeding? ly hard to say which deserved 'most praise-all were perfect. The song, "Sleep, Baby Sleep," by seven little girls 'dressed in long Mother Hub? bards, white aprons and caps, swinging while singing doll babies, was .cer? tainly most comical. And the way the school rallied to the Bonnie Blue Flag was inspiring. The recitation, "The Morning After the Ball," was acted so well and seemed natural enough for that young lady to be put on the -"old maids'" list before many years roll around. After, all these treats came a fine address from Col. J. Harvey Wilson on education, and I hope parents and children were all inspired to -press forward. Still this was not all for among the green trees was built a regular ex - f - ... - - * ? ? .tension table (from its length) and ty the time all trunks, boxes an'd; bas? kets were emptied it was loaded with good things to eat and there was a large crowd to eat it, and not a drop of rain all day. After dinner off in another part of the grove by a splendid artesian, well, was served "ice- cold lemonade" for everybody. I think from the way Jonah handed it out his arms must still ache. Then the exercises of the school were encored after which the old folks went home and the young ones repaired, rather paired, to Mr. Geo. Muidrow's and played tennis until a late hour, for some it was too late, one of a pair was-I won't tell for "Mollie" said I must not. Miss Mattie gets and well deserves a hot of praise. She has been unani? mously elected for another*term by; all the patrons. WISACKY, , Wisacky, May 15.-Mr. W. A Cooper, who had been very ill at his brother's, Mr. Robt. Cooper, died Saturday night and. will be buried at Brick church today. Mrs. Strickland, an aged laSy living at Wisacky is exceedingly iii at: this time.. Mrs. Dr. Alford has .been serious? ly-sick the pa.5t: week. Mrs. Robt Cunningham and litfe daughter, of Bishopville, ha7* been visiting in the neighborhood, also Mrs. Willie Gibson and, Miss Mam'.e. : Messrs. Edgar Scott and Myron Smith, of this .place,;.attended a very pleasant picnic last Saturday at E - [lots at the close of: Miss Jackson's school. Master Woods Corbet and Russel Shaw have .been in our midst the past few days. The farmers are in a great rush :rying to catch up with their work. The prospect, of a peach crop in ;his? section is. very doubtful and thi fruit continues to drop. Miss Lula May Williams is in a very feeble state of health.. REMBERTS. ? Rembert, May 16.-The rain sti'l continues. Only a few days could any i plow work be done this ;past week. Cotton Hs looking,; bad and flying* out In light, sandy lani. Much of it has been chopped out, but very grassy. Plow -work ' is greatly behind and with a heavy rain again today the prospect ?ertain'y look blue. Corn is turning yellow owing to not being able to cultivate, but most planters this week have com? menced making second application of fertilizer. The bud worms still continue bad, which necessitates fre quent replanting. Oats are matt? ing in .places and look well. J. K. McLeod could not attend court in Sumter this week as jury? man owing to sickness. J. M. Reams and S. W. Young are on the jury this week and I hore they will enjoy their visit to the Game Cock City. Mrs. E. E. Rembert and children spent last Week in Spartanbutg tak? ing in the, May festival. Notwithstanding the press for plow animals at this time Mr. W. C. Harllee had a very faithful horse foundered on Sunday last by over feed of corn. PRIVATEER. Privateer, May 16.-Our quiet neighborhood was greatly shocked on Friday afternoon by the brutal murder of Mr. D. E. Wells by Col? clough Stukes.

DARK CORNER. Dark Corner, May 13.-Well, this beautiful evening- I will write, but everybody in these coasts are so busy that news is scarce. General Green has an army on hand of many co: ps and Rain Water has been in com? mand for several days during the past week and the farmers have had to resort to all sons of movements to j flank him, but if the sun will con? tinue to shine for the next ten days like it does today I think the farmers will win the fight. I have just heard that Capt. D. E. Wells, who lived in S. E. Privateer, was shot to death at his home yester d?y by a colored man named Col? clough Stukes. Have not heard the particulars of the difficulty. Mrs. W. J. Ardis has been quite sick for the last day or two with an attack of neuralgia. She is some better this evening. Mr. J. B. McIntosh, Sr., has been very sick this week. Something wrong with his heart. Mr. T. D. Weeks had an attack of bilious fever this week, but is better again. Mrs. Jos. H.

Bartl?tt and knocked his shoulder out cf jo nt besides bruising him up generally. He was getting along as well as could be expected at last accounts. The young bucks of Pin-wood have a fine time 'bathing, etc., here at o\d man Pink Weeks' mill every Saturday. There is a good deal cf sickn?'s in the neighborhood, m^t'y spring diseases. Dr. R. B. Furman told me that some times he had more cases than he can attend to. From the Manning Times. The A leola railroad has pot orr a paseenger coach and will soon run a regular schedule which will be a great convenience for the Salem public. 1 Several of tbe immigrants recently landed at Alcolu have left that place, some of them came here, bur fon od no employment. Clarendon's tax levy for 1895 is ll 3-4 mill, this together with the spe? cial school tax in most townships will arnonDt to 15 3-4 mills. The levy in Sumter County is ll 1-2 mills. Sumter county has about sold its present court house site for $60.000 abd will bny a new site for 825,000 to erect a modern building: Clarendon b*s a magnificent court house site, hut when will it be able to build a fire prc of modern b ailriino? Sheriff Gamble went to Kirgsfree and brought hack a courle of. gentle? men for Clarendon's chaingang. Speed? ing cf the chaineang reminds ns of a?fc statement we heard on the streets very recently ; in affect it was that those connected with the county service are good feeders. They are furnished with choice canued jroods, butter, chickens and eggs, Worcestershire sance, and barns. We do not know if it is true, bnt if it is true, the. chain? ing menu beats that of the average taxpayer. Mr. Frank Anderson, of Summer? ton, was examined Monday and ?ent tn the State Hospital 1:or Trisare. He bas been mentally affected for some time, and bas twice.hefore been in the Hos dital for treatment. From the Manning Farmer. Sumter, will do wisely when she sells her old court house lot for a good round sum and erects a better build? ing elsewhere, but it would be a mis? take to bnild again on Main street. The new court house should be built safely away from business encroach- , ment. ! During the heavy thunder storm last Wednesday afternoon a wbite wo? man named Josephine Timmons, aged : about ?35 years, wat struck by lightning in ber own bouse and instantly killed. ? When the heavy rain came on, the roof ' began to leak, and a boy who was in rhe hot se got up on the foof of the bed to try to stop the leak. While he was up there the woman was in the act of handing bim some .instiument tc work with, when the* bolt of light ning came and killed her. The boy was knocked over on the bed and , stunned for some time. Tbe woman was a pensioner on the county, and ! had been for several years, being afflicted with the loss of one leg.

Mr. Thomas Nimmer received a ca? blegram this morning from his broth er-i j-law, Abraham- Salamah, at Manoas, Brazil, requesting that his sister, Mrs Hannah Durseh, go to that place instead of returning to Syria as contemplated. It is probably the first cablegram ever received in Manning from Brazil. A young white man named Daniel Driggers, living about four miles from Manning,attemprec; suicide very delib? era telv Friday afternoon. He came to town and got a pint of whiskey at the dispensary aud a ten-cent bottle of laudanum at a dreg store, and going back home, be went out a short dis- i tance to a branch, where he drank tbe contents of both bottles and lay down to take his last, long sleep. In a short j time he was biscovered by some of his i relatives lying on his back with his ! bands folded on hin breast. The empty bottles were discovered and the situa- I tion at once surmised. A telephone I message was hurriedly sent for a phy- ! sicion. and iu the meantime the ,rela ti ves rolled the would be suicide into i the branch. The physician arrived in a short time and soon had the patient out of dang r. Driggers is only about 18 yars cf age and said he aimed to kill himseif simply pecause he is tired ofjlivirg. He is well grown for bis age, but bas only one leg. He was afficted with white swelling ia childhood, and abcut eight years ago one leg wa9 amputated on account ot the incurable affliction Since that time be has enjoyed good health, and there is no reason for his despondency. He says they got ahead of him this time but he will yet do away with himself. On a Sunday afternoon, May 21st, Live Oak Camp. Woodmen of the World will unveil a monument to the late severeien J. M.
