O UR CORRESPONDENTS.
Etta Jane.
Jl'Lt 16 ? Last week our fanners did not
get a great deal of plowing uone on uccount
of tbe rain. But ibis morning everything
went to work and if nothing happens by the
last of the week most of the crops especially
oorn will be -'laid by."
The force employed cleaning out the river
are getting along tolerably well with their
wo>k. The work is now being supervised
ny that go-a-hrad man Hilly Wilkiueon.
The boat tirst built to carry lreight
was a partial failure. Another boat is under
construction nod as soon as launched we
will look for practical results. Wheat crops
are turning out only tolerably well. Some
wheat we have heard of averaged bushels
to the acre.
Our people are taking the precaution to
provide themselves with a supp'y of Iruit
for nest winters use.
On Wednesday night of last week ?, we
had the hardest rain we have had this
year so far. The laud was terribly washed
hi places. The bridge across I'acolet river
at skull Shoals is bcgiuiug to need repairs
to keep it from becoming dangerous. This
is one of the most useful or generally traveled
roads in this part of the county, and
ehould it become obstructed will be a great
iLCouveuieuce to the traveling public.|
We are glad (hut Supervisor Scoit and the
reform government have organized a brother
hood in this county to be known as the
"chain gang." This will no doubt inter
fere with that delectable fra'erniiy called
"Sons ef rect." The two can't both thrive
in the same community. Then chronic
vagabonds and professional wife beaters had
better look out or their names will be enrolled
with the Supervisor without tluir
consent.
Miss Grare Whisonnnt one of North 1'rcolets
most charming young ladies is at home
spending her vacation.

We have never seeu politics lamer than
they are now. The only candidates for the
constitutional convention 0.1 the part of the
reformers we have heard spoken of are
Judge I>. A. Townsend and Representative
J. C. Otis. Is it possible we have reached
the climax where the ottice is to seek the
man? If so. the millcnium must be g.Mliug
nesrer.
There are quiie a nunibar of conservatives
we know of who we believe would pole n
latge vote amougtbe reformers. Hon. William
Jelfries is ooe of them and Judge Wallace
is another.

July 10. ? We have had an abundance of
ram in the last tcu days, all that is needed
for the crops, and ilia prospect for corn was
never better in this country, an l the cotton
is pretty fair and is in tine condition, so
upon the whole the outloik all around for
a crop is good.
Our people are stiir ng rutiod nn I prepaiing

We expect a ween of enjoymcut with our
friends from all over the county and especially
on the 2ud of August Veterans day.

Mr. ^Editor: Would that you oould have
been with us sgaiu on lost Sunday, for you
certainly would have enjoyed another treat
among our little folks. We celebrated "Children's
Day" at Bothesda, better known as
"Black Rock" church, and though the weather
was bad, still the occasion was one of delight
to those who witnessed it. The church
was beautifully nod tastefully decorated, and
when the hour for service arrived, the house
was filled to overtlowing, there being many
eager and anxious listeners who could only
wish to obtain entrance.
The exercises were opened with a song
of praise by the congregation, and with prayer
ami reading of the 100th l'salin by the
pastor, then a song of welcome by the school,
recitations, interspersed with sweet singing,
led by Miss Annie May Sims, then began.
The recitations were all good, well prepared
nml their true Christiau sentiment clearly
brought out in their delivery, showing
tbat neither time, pains nor patience had
been spared in their training, by the excellent
officers and teachers of the school. At
1*2 o'clock, though ihe ram was falling all
repaired to the grove, there not beiog room
in tho church, and partook of a beautiful
repast, showing that "hard limes'' had long
ago ceased to exist in our beloved country.
All being somewhat refreshed by tho many
good iliiuge lo eti, ard (ha cooling showers,
returned to the house Tor the closing part of
(lie program in which were some of the
most imtcrcstiug features of the day, and
especially the "String of Facta" rendered
so well by a class of twenty little boys
and girls. The facts wore facts indeed und
iu truth, setting forth twenty of the great
tiuths concerning our missionary woik.
Having completed their interesting program
the exercises closed with a collection taken
for tlie benefit ef the American llaplist
Publication Society, the hymn "God be with
you till we meet again" sting, benediction
pronounced bp the pastor, thus ending u
delightful and we trust a profitable day to
all preseut. .May this day be the means of
instilling in a 1 our hearts more interest iu
Sunday School, and in its most noble work.
