1XAGOOD.
II igood. Marrh 19.?Our communi?
ty waa shocked on yesterday after?
noon by the sad intelligence of the
death. In another county, where she
waa teaching school, of Miss Mi *gue
rlte Ellerbe. eldest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Klll >t Kllerbe. Her mother
had haafl aallei hy telegraph to her
l*edswlc >?tn the vain hope that she
would find her darling better. The
next news that came was that above
noted. calling the grlef-strlcken
father to meet the remains at Flor?
ence. Just when she .vill he burled
we h i. e ""t yet learned.
Ood made the flowers, the beautiful
flowers, that adorn and cheer our
earthly bowers. Qod loves the bcau
ttful flowers. He lends to buds and

The hlgi school taught ny Prof.
James and Miss Countenav A?km?.on
la doing very creditable work. There

the school, doing splendid work, of
which the teichers and community
are Justly pr >ud.
Oio may *>e funny without being
witty. Aa instance, a young man in
attendance on a seedy old maid no?
tices a number of pistols In her bug?
gy and Inquires, "are you carrying
all these guns to tight mad dogs? Her
reply was funny, aa any one could see
at a glance. "No." she said, "but to
keep you men off."

ing some beautiful weather end every -

C >rn planting is in progress by some
while others seem to think ll at th?
North Tole Is still lingering
where near us.
It was Indeed sad to witness the
heart-rendering sobs of the loved
ones who met the body of Miss Mar?
garet Ellerbe, at Rembert's on the
19th Inst. Our heartfelt sympathies
go out to them In their grief and sor?
row, and may they ever remember
that she can't return to them, but
that they through trust, faith and
obedience can go to her, and may this
stroke of the Divine hand be the
means of drawing all of her associate**
through the strait and narrow gate,
which leadeth to life everlasting,
where they can clasp the hand of her
whom they have laid away to rest,
around the great white dazzling
throne of our blessed Lord and Mas?
ter.
Mr. Editor, with the present high
prices, the push which we will be in
and the enormous crop of lecturing
candidates, we tremble to think of our
vnanclal condition when the summer is
ended, but we say come on boys with
your list of fair promises and start
the hall to rolling; but I would ad?
vise you to come by railroad as all of
our public roads leading out from
here are almost impassable. In fact,
some places on the Providence road
and also the road across McLeod's
Mill are dangerous. The R. F. D. mail
carrier is forced to travel these roads
every day; but I suppose the county
has a plenty of funds to pay for stock,
buggies and harness broke up in
these places, and the mall carrier has
a government Job and it really makes
no difference so far as the public is
concerned. Let us hope that we will
have a large list of candidates this
go-round, and especlaly those who as?
pire to the supervisor's office, from
which we can fill these important of?
fices.
Mr. Editor, It Is wonderful indeed
the vast number of good, fair minded
and fair promising, high and intelli?
gent citizens of the county, that we
have got, at least every two years. Mr.
W. J. Young, one of our county com?
missioners living within a few miles
of these places has been repeatedly
notified of their condition?but we
nothing as yet from which we
might hope for relief. 1 guess we
will have to seek higher authority.
ELECTION AT St MMKRTOX.
i?r. I), o. ithuine We elected Inten
Summerton. March 21.?The muni
OtpeJ election was duly concluded on
tiie evening of the 15th with the fol?
lowing results: Intendant. I >r. I>. < >.
Rheine; Werdens. Messrs. i?. B.
Davis, 11. a. Rlohbourg, n. R. If I
dean, and II. a. Tisdale. It Was
thought for some time previous to 0><
of election that no one would op
poet Hr. I), o. Rhema who offered
fOf re-eletion to the OlUCt of Intell
denti but it was found uopn the event?
ful morning that another prospective
ticket v\as being worked "on the
quiet*" which at the poling precinct
beCOjne known as "The Insurgents
Ticket." This ticket presented Mr
i >. ?; Keeks for Intendant and prac?
tically the same |uti of wardens; the
regular ticket as represented above
gained an Overwhelming victory with
?I, out-turn of forty odd votes against
some fourten or fifteen. Bummertoti
is lnd< bted to the previous govern?
ment for good results, and she has
every roe eon to hope for a continu?
ance thereof during the ensuing year,
'l'h ? immense fertiliser receipts
Which the plant' is of this sections
are having are gratifying tnaamuch
as the indications are encouraging,
but an indirect result has been rath, t
annoying, The Northwestern train
baa been from two to three hours late
tvery morning fur the past week, and
the rura mail Omrrlert have been
obliged to make their trips without tin
day's mail. These delays have been
attributed to the probable heavy fer?
tilizer shipments, together with spring
gooda We could not get along with?
out ttie.se nor can the business man
t ut be Inconvenienced by late mails.
Our hopeful clUeena are still peering
into the future for a gllmpet of that
passenger and mail train conceded to
bt something of a necessity to grow?
ing Bummerton.
Summerton and surrounding com?
munity has always bt en considered
especially appro* letlv of fine horses.
and we shall not dare make accusa?
tion that such appreciation is being
HEM BERT.
diminished, but we fear that there is
an instrument of mobility which will
?oon come In to claim its share of
attention. Indeed, not a few around
town begin to prefer the "honk-honk"
to the old-fashioned neigh. Mr. J.
\shby Rlohbourg is the second pur
heeer Of an automobile in Summer
ton, but we make no doubt that ere
long they will be quite common.
The ladies of the Cemetery Auxiliary
Association have recently received
llllte a number of plants to be placed
l the Evergreen Cemetery. We un?
derstand that this association has a
good membe rship, and it is very evi?
dent that some if not all are working
faithfully with an undertaking wnich
s unquestionably a most prilae
orthy one. A co-operation on the
art of the lot owners is all that is
needed to achieve at least \ small
measure of success.
We regret to learn of the probabil?
ity of the removal of Mr. S. M. Mc
'OlclOUgh and family to another part
of the State. Mr. Colelough, having
sold out his hardware business here,
expects to open a similar establish?
ment in some other Carolina town,
.et the prompting motive be what it
may, It i*? a source of deep regret to
seo good citizens going away.
Just here, however, we might on
the other hand note with satisfatcion
and pleasure the return of Mr. W. H.
Vnderson and family, not for their
usual visit but for permanent resi?
dence. Mr. Anderson has for the past
eight years been in Mississippi repre
sc nting the J. B. Hoist Co. as cotton
buyer. He will do a similar business
in this territory. Mr. Anderson is a
good business man. and Mrs. Ander?
son will be remembered as being one
of Summerton o naost popular young
ladies, their reside/tee here is very
welcome.
The Matrons Book Club met on
last Friday afternoon with Mrs. Jno.
W. Lesesne. The feature of amuse?
ment enjoyed was an advertisement
contest which consisted of represen?
tations minus any apparent clue as
to the product advertised. We are
told that all of the ladies seemed fa?
miliar with the pictures advertising
hair fixtures, etc. Mrs. Lesesne, as?
sisted by Mrs. H. A. Rlchbourg serve!
a delightful salad course. The ciub
meets next with Mrs. J. M. Plowd *n
