Dec. 4.?Ou lust Thursday, thanksgiving

and everything put on a holiday appearaoce.
A few of the citizens went out hunting, but

mcut to I'rof U. U. Stolon, assisant principal
of the school at this place.
l$y 8 o'clock the guests had arrived. Tito
parlor and dining hall were filled with happy
laces who showed that ihey could say with
Longfellow :
"The night shall be lille I with music,
And the cares that infest the day,
Shall fold their tents like the Arab",
And as silently steal away."
Wlmii ivo realized that it was rrrowiiitr
laic, we turned our faces homeward, regretling
ili.ii such cuterfa'uineuts are not more
f.cque it.
Our former p stor, Kev. J L. fcsilley,

at Claussen, Florence County. Our best
and heuriiest wishes shall ever accompany

L?kc. d.?News is about as scaiee in our
town this morning as money, but there is
this ditl'ereuce, one can stir around ami got
up a littlo news or they can manufacture
some, hut 1 can do neither in the way of
greenbacks The telephone cau't call up
much news this morning.
i was at Union yesterday and saw our
Stale Senator, Mr. J. T. Iiuuglas. lie run
up from Columbia to see the County Commissioners
in regard to the funding of our
county bouus. Mr. iKuglus bis a bill be- I
lore (lie .Senate Committee l? inake (lie
interest on llie new bonds payable in golJ
but the committee being great silvcritcs ure
about to net down on Mr. Douglus' bill at
though it is i> luc il bill. '1 lie bonds can tie
floated to better advantage or in other words
to uu ndvautngo of twehc hundred dollars
annually and the bonds will run twenty
yeurs. So it will inake a total dilleroncc in
favor of the county of twenty-four thousand
dollars'. Soil is hoped Mr. Douglas will
succeed in getting his bill through in its
present shaj e.
Mr. 15. F. Mabrcy, an honest industrious
farmer, who lives near Jonesville and who
has always I ecu a renter, has laid by money
enough to buy liim a tr..ot of about two
hundred acres ol laud and jay the cash fait.
Mr. Miibrey litis a good large family
and has given Ins children a fair education.
Mr. James M. l'owler. a renter on Mr.
T. I? Hauies' place, has made this year on
a ouc-horsc farm over three hundred bushels
of corn, eight bales r f cotton, which
will pay all his debts and has plenty of fat
iiogs to make his meat for another year.
It is a <|uesiioti just now who is the best
oil', the mau that owns land or the man that
rents laud.
A colored man said to uie not long since
thai times were good for him, which lie explained
in litis way: lie said most of the
white laborers bad gone to the cotton factories
and that a negro could get a'l the good
land he wanted to cultivate and he said "1
am all right.
hast .Sunday was an oil'day at the churches
in our town. We have no preaching on
tiic first Sunday.
liov. J. S. Porter lias not moved to his
new appointment at l'unolet yet. He will
remain over till next week und will preach
at llugansville and Jonesville next Sunday.
Our preacher for this conference year, Itev.
It. \V. Spigucr, will nol move until next
week, lie is a stranger to the people of
Jonesviile.
Mr. N. 1>. Kison killed l>is line horse tliat
got his leg broke sonic days ago. The horse
broke his leg again ami he had to he killed.
Mr. J. L, McWhiricr had a lino Jersy
Cow to die last. night.
A suiall hunch of drove hogs come to our
town last week. They were selling at
cents. They oaly stayed one day and went
on to l uion. Only a few were bought here.

I)w:. .1.?The people down hero nro just
getting where they can "drawn long breath"
along ouu line, i. e., gathering crops. (Jotton
is nearly all gathered, and the crop did
not coiue up to the early exped itions of the
farmers, 'the low prite makes had matters
worse, and the fanners are so blue, that they
scarcely see anything bright, hut there is
h ipo in the well-tilled Corn cribs, of which
there are a good many in this neighborhood.
They give that cr. p a Iblle special attention.
There ate a goodly number of hogs to fatten.
Some of these seem to have run on a
scotch in the fattening process, and won t
budge another hit. They are "cutting'
holes in the corn pile. There are some
prospective h 'gs for another yen-, and farmers
tnc arranging to be a little better to
them another summer, and not sing the old
song, "ror t hog or die," for there is no In g
music in that.
Our farmers are in a tight squeeze, hut if
they are allowed another year, no doubt they
will gel on their feet again.
Not inucli small grain is being sown, but
tlic land is being b oken lor nnolher year's
crop. A little experience lias taught. us
'jackleg farmers that i< is a good thing
to break our laud hi the tall an<l winter. 1
have seen some line pens of manure ravel,
ami that is a very important factor in farmtog

that v.e can't tind out from our Secretary of

of our State seal and coat of arms. If
these pencil pushers will remember .'50 years
ago uexl 1'ib inry one, General Wil.iani
Teoumseb Sberiiuin, at tlie head of a-i army i
of 70,000 troops, marched through this <
State and spent two days in the city of i
Columbia looking after lb-; affairs ot' the I
S-ulliern Confederacy. Sii co that time,
the record wo want to li.td ha n't been seen <
that we know i f l'crhaps it went up North I
to keep company with those psalm books 1
that were taken out of Hopewell church, or
the communion so* taken from Little lliver
chinch, in Fnirficl I canity, which lost
