mm that one ex-tramp who has
loafing fa this place for some
was decoyed or persuaded by a
a? of young man and boys
Monday night, to Join them In a

as Black swamp, about two
from this place. They placed
a position In mid canal with a
sack In his hands, with his

Phillip, as a punishment, leave town

The farmers are harvesting with
a lighter heart than last year. A good
crop of corn and hey have been made,
but cotton Is a disappointment to
many. ?

Some farmers are holding their
cotton, where they have no pressing
debts to force a sale. The cotton

are white in which there has never
had a boll picked.
The peavine hay is very good and
afrmers are rushing te gather it.
The pea crop is very poor on aome

DARK OORN&R.
Dark Corner, Oct. 14.?As usual I
have nothing to write about.
Farmers are gathering in their
corn, which is turning out better
than was expected. Cotton Is also
turning out fairly well, but peas will
be a light crop hereabouts. Potatoes
and sugar cane have done very well;
slso rice. I
We have been having fine WSSlthST
for^ saving hay. and several farmers
have been making hay while the sun
ahlnes. But cotton Is still claiming
the attention of a great many of us.
Lot* of cottoa In the field and cannot
get anybody to pick It. The demand
for piekers Is greater than the supply.
All work, but cannot catch up with
the cotton.
Mr. J. L. Ardls has Improved won?

I will have to tell your readers, Mr.
Editor, of the party that did not take
place. Three young men said that
they were invited to play at a certain
gentleman's house last Saturday
night, and they went, carrying a
young lady with them; and when
Aey got to the gentleman's house
they found nobody home, or If at
home they must have been dead
asleep, or otherwise dead, as they
could not see or hear any one, so they
had to return home sadder than they
went if not wiser.

do pretty often now.
Mrs. W. J. Ardis is quite sick to?

SHITiOH.
, Shiloh, Oct. 14.?Shiloh Is stilT re?
joicing over her many blessings. The
weather has been as fine as could be
wlmhed for and everybody's health Is
good.
y
Crops are so good that the farmers
could not keep up with the gathering
of them. The corn crop is O. K. The
cotton crop must be. It will yield 85
per cent, of a crop. Mr. C. T. Player
is one who will gather 500 pounds of
lint to every acre he has in cotton,
and 'ha isn't the only one who will
v
pick a bale per acre.
Shiloh is also blessed with a W. O.
W. camp (Maple, No. S311). The
boys had their annual banquet last
Friday night; there was a large at?
tendance of men, women and chil?
dren. I was with them on this occa?
sion by Invitation, as I am too old
to be a member. Still I'm not too old
to be a well wisher.. We were blest
with real fine1 weather, plenty of bar?
becue, rice and other good th\ngs to
eat, and some of the very best lem?
onade to drink. After supper, Prof.
W. L?. Motes, of dewberry, made us a
gool ta!k in which he gave Wood?
craft a high reputation and placed
her in front with any. fraternal or
d r. Mr. Li I. Parrott, of your city,
was with his Shiloh friends, who
mean to keep him In the clerk's office,
not because he is such an orator or
iehaters. for while he gave us a good
short talk, he only got to the five ring
degrees, H? made an effort to go on,
I
but was soon back to the five rings
?again. and he took his seat.
After the speaking the boys had i
?irfoker.
Can't write without saying that I'm
proud of .our quiet, peaceful citizens.
Mr. S. D. McElVeen has been unwell
for three or four weeks, but we trust
he may be blest to feel 'like himself
again real soon.
We feel proud that we've not been
cut off from the old Game Cock
rvojnt^. of which we are proud, and
when the new railroad Is completed
and we haver dally trains from proud
dd Shiloh to Sumter, I hope to shak*
the hands and look on the faces of
the good people of Sumter often.
