The many friends )f Mr. and Mrs. Rice extend sympathy in this hour of sad bereavement. Wanted?40 families with 40 babias to ride in 40 carriages and go-carts from Hobo's. ,lt Our courtly officials have been building i >me good bridges in the county in the last few years. As an evidence of this the recent high waters went 6ver the tops of several of theui leaving trash, etc. on the bridges, but the bridges s'ood the storm nobly. The high water last week was a severe test on bridges and it took good ones to hold their ground against the rushing torrents. We have been shown an old cotton bill that* was found by Mr. J. II. Rodger m his fathers old papers that names pi ices astonishing to i>eople of this day and tiqae. The hill is dated 1800. 23 bales were sold to a new York flrm bv Mr. Rodger at an average price of 38c per pound. The bales averaged 114 pounds and the amount of money paid for them was $3,424.20. If cotton would bring those figures now we would tell our farmers to turn their land into cotton fields. We might even give it a (rial ourself. All the ladies are talking about the styles and low prices of our spring hats. It The Foster Co. Correction, Mr. Editoh: ?

Th iait .s were out in full force i:i Eider attire. There were services at all the churches, and Urge congregations were in attendance at each service. These services were appropriate to the occasion and lyere highly appreciated by those in attendance. The First Methodist church was artistically deco:lit?d, around the pulpit and chancel there was a wildernesi of palms, ferns, ti<?tly and rosea, while trailing vines a el holly encircled the organ, and ferns, ivey and holly were airanged in pret ty designs in the windows on eithei side, the whole forming a very cheerful and pleasant eight.
