fcrant places in this neighborhood, it will fc
be almost impossible to keep some of our e
friends from breaking into the Lunatic Asy- *

so backward ic furnishing f he Ti>irs with all 1

Feb. 12.?Miss Ssllie McDaniel, a pretty ,
and exemplary young lady was married io
Charner Stevens, both of this place, on Wedncsdry,
Feb. G, by Rev. ? MoKarland. It
Just a moderate assemblage of relatives
an<t friends were present, and all agreed
that it was one of (ha most enjoyable ucca- .
ions thai they ever had the p ensure of attending.
All the guests were received with
cordiality and made to feel at home.
The tablo was most beautifully arranged
and fairly weighted with refreshments, always
so esseutiai to complete the joy of such J
an occasion. The bride looked exquisitely
pretty, in a beautiful and becoming costume,
and the groom radiantly happy, and as if
he woud liko to tell his O. B. friends just
how happy he was. He is to be congratulated
on his excellent taste, and his success in
winning such n sweet, and model christian
young lady. Those who know her best can
the more fully give their congratulations.
After enjoy tug ourselves for quite a while, ^
we all departed to our respective homes feeling
more content with this dear old world.
The young couple have the best wishes ~
of the entiro community. * * *
With the rain, hail, sleet and snow farm ^
work has been pratically suspended. Farmers
say that "every eating thing is eating
its head off." When it is clear it is so cold
and so unpleasant that if is impossible tQ
do any work. Hveryone is anxious to sow
oats, but with this snow on the ground ttiat |
is out ef the question. The ground was in
fit condition the latter part of last week, but
for the hard freeze. Some oats that were '
sown two or three weeks ago, are thought
to be killed for if they were sprouting, they [
arc surely k lied. Only a few were sown
then, however.
}t is a hard matter for one to find out
what the farmers are going to do about using
commercial fcrtil xers this year, and some
eem to be anxious to know. The farmers
may be as the negroes say 'timmerson" on
the subject.
We had a cold wave in reality last Friday
and Saturday, and we bad ihe coldest day
of the winter, except the 27th of December, j
being colder by 6 degrees, when it was 1 <
degree. And last Friday it went to six dc- (
frees, The mercury began to drop on the ,
7th, at <1 p in., and fell degrees au hour
until it recorded six degrees The mrau
temperature that day was 14 degre-s. We j
had one other day in which the temi crnture ! ,
went to G degrees iu January, but the daily |
mean was considerably higher.

'or Neil Suuals on Broad River. You
atse Lookhart Shoals high in air, but Neil's
a a more desirable place for a oltoh feo,orjr
than Lockharts. It is far more aooessi>le,
being four and one-half miles from Sanuc
