An Interesting Sermon by Rev.
Sam T. Creech.
Mr. II. T. Scott, a former citizen of
this community, who now lives nearCannon's
camp ground in Spartauburg
county, is visiting relatives and friends
in this section. Mrs. Scott accompanied
him. It has been twelve years sines we
met and be shows |that time has
dealt kindly with him. He is a noble
christian hearted man with an unyielding
faith in God's promises.
Mrs. Carrie Inman was called to the 1
bedside of her mother, Mrs. Julia A.
Kendrick, who has since died at her
home in Gaffney City. Mrs. Kendrick
has mauy warm friends in this community
who mourn her death. She was
a woman of exemplary chiistian character.

We understand that many farmers
ho planted early are finding it necessary
i replant their cotton. The recent
id spell of weather caused the seed to
it in the ground, and quite a number
' our farmers are already replanting.
Mr. E. W. Jeter, of Santuc, brought
i a sample of the Jeter corn which is
>out as finely developed ear of corn as
o have seen. Mr, Jeter says it is very
-olific and it has been grown in this
mnty about one hundred years. The
rains are extra long and well developed,
Mr. Geo. Geddes, of Spartanburg,
ent a few days of this week in Union,
e wis down on business. He has

for grave stones sinoe he moved

Mr. J. H. Spears' laundry has been

church. Rev. S. T. Creech preached a 1
plain, practical, common sense sermon 1
(if such a term is a suitable description
ofii). The subj-ct was complaining aud 1
discontentment with the providence of '
God. LI is text, Acts 5:9. The speaker '
dealt with every phase of life and pro- I
fession among men where this weakness J
creeps out so manifestly. Not a single *
one of them escaped his attention, and to 1
use a common expression "he handled
them with gloves off." Discontentment
at God's providences is rebellion against
IIis authority. He advised his hearers
to watch the chronic fault Qnder for it
is a sure sign of his own moral deprevity.
The man who thinks everybody dishonest ,
will best bear watching himself.
The spirit of commercialism is doing ;
a great injury to the cause of Christ. *
Officers a id members of the church
can't take time from their secular duties .
to attend upon the ordinances of the .
Lord's house, and the work of flaying
up treasures upon earth to satisfy the
lusts of the flesh are attended to ra tlier j
than that which pt rtains to our eternal
welfare. In a spirit of brotherly love ,
with him it is we Methodists, we r.
Baptists, we Presbyterians, we factory
people, we country people, we town peo- .
pie, we merchants, we farmers, we v
doctors, we lawyers, we mechanics, etc,
because he felt he was in a measure
identiQed with them all. When he spoke
of a man he meant a man, not a dudish
upstart, but a man who was a man aud v
uhvvf linnn hia PAnvintinna nf rinrhf un/1

wrong. A religion that was not based (>
on brotherly love was a miserable make _
shift. The man who apologetioally says .
If you are over in ray neighborhood
come over and see roe, doesn't want you *
to come, and that is the best way he has v
to tell you ao. If he had a sou who ^
didn't have sense enought to make a .
farmer' he would put him to studying .
law or some other professiou. A man '
to be a successful farmer must ba be a .
man of God, who can trust the storm .
and the sunshine, the rain and the ,
drouth, the cold and the heat. All must,
be submitted to the sovereign will and
pleasure of God the maker an i preserver
of all things in order to obtain the best
results. He didn't wish the farmers
before him to think that he thought t hey a
vara nvnnnt.inna f/i tho ownar^l ruin nr
that they were successful in this respect p
for they were not, they were among the
most violent grumblers on earth and
couldn't agree among themselves or any
thing to suit all of them. If he would
go out there and call a meeting of the u
tamers to find out what each one wanted tJ
he would find that A wanted rain on
Monday, B on Tuesday, C on Wedues- ,
day, D on Thursday and so on, and had
he the power to giant any of their
wishes he must displease six of them to .
pleaseTone. This is the outgrowth of
our not trusting God to manage his own
affairs. The man who has no confidence j
in himself has no confidence in God.
If we will only do our duty to our- \
selves and to our God He will bring 1
order out of confusion and in the end p
all will be peace. Vox. p

THE OIL FEVER IN TEXAS.
A Very Interesting News Letter
From the Far West by our
Regular Correspondent
Editor Times:?I know you have
heard time and again of the oil fields at
, Beaumount, Texas. Oil was found (j
there recently and I understand from ,,,
people who have lately returned from T
there that there is lots of it. The oil n
craze has hit Texas and has hit it haid a
too. Everybody is talking oil. Com- ii
pany aiter company Has oven orgamz-u si
for the purpose of developing the hithei to a
undiscovered oil fields in the State. A n
strong idea of speculation is growing in a
the minds of the average Texan, and in {(
that line the said Texan from Dan to "I
Beersheba is hustling. lie goes to
Beau mount, lie goes to Corsecana. he w
goes hither and lie goes thither to find ^

perhaps or realise In the oil business. I
opine that many men right hero in this t(
sunny clime is as much excited and as fl
wild as the stock Jobber ou Wall Stieet k
when he is playing a losing game w ith T
fickle fortune. No doubt there are ai
others who are calmer aud cooler ?ho ei
see in their mind's eye a veritable oil e:
fountain in Texas which shall exc ad nil n
others ami that bye and bye a great cam- c<
pany slrnll be organized to manipulate
this fountain which shall force the C
Standard Oil Coni|>any to pale into in- n
significance. I fear such ideas will cause
many a man to loose his hard earned
cash in a vain attempt to make a fortune
without an effort on his part. To give y
iwuw mnt or wiuti ins peopie are doing
In this direction, X will tell you that as jt
many as one hundred aud thirty seven p
oil companies have applied to Secretai y 0i
of State at A1^" for charters to do c<
business in Texas within 100 days with gi
a capital of over forty-two million dol- f<
lars. 1 oopv herewith part of an ad- d
vertisement of one of the companies: aj

l^ast year, as I have mentioned in there
letters a'ready, was a veiy prosperous
>ear for the faimers in this section.
'l"l?in prosperity was brought about in a
measure l?y a diversification of crops
helped to a preat extent by pood prices
prevailing. With \ view io diversification
again this year, last fall a preat dial
of wheat was planted, and in February
the usual amount of land was sown in
oats. Everything seemed to be tnovinp
along nicely until about three weeks
ago green bugs made their appearance
in central and north Texas which have
ravaged the wheat crop to a great extent
and the oat crop is just about destroyed.
If I were to tell you the oat fields in this
section looked as if a fire had burnt over
them you could hardly realize such a
thing, but such a scene is what they
practically present to the view, caused

the plants. The like of which has never
been seen or heard of before. It is a
ojreat disaster indeed, almost "a calamity
to the section of the State visited by
lh?-se little pests.
Men usually write about everything
that happens, they have written and are
itill writing about the green bugs. What
ins been said so far has been mostly
irosaic. yes, very prosaic, but one genleman
down at Deuton the other day
>roke forth in a poetic strain, and I
lerewith reproduce his production.
"The green bugs get our wheat,
The June bugs get our honey,
The red bngs get our tough old shins
And the gold bugs get our money."
This may create a smile when you
ead it and doubtless you will catch the
un out of the last line, but sir, if you
ived in Texas on the black waxy land
ou would laugh when you reached the
hird line in this poetical effusion. I
lose this paragraph by saying the green
nigs have done incalcuable damage to
o ihe oat crop.
Col. A. II. Belo, one of the proprietors
f the Galveston-Dallas News, died at
i8Qevii:e, in. c, April ltttb, Ho was
ne of the progressive men of this State,
lis death is a misfortune for Texas,
'he papers he controlled and founded
were potent factors in the upbuilding of
he State. Ic is said of him that his
watchwords were "progress,'' "liberlity,"
'*inde|?endence," "fairdealing,"
11 of which was demonstrated in the
onduct of his newsjupers. Col. Bclo
wis a native of North Carolina. He
was born, reared and educated in that
itate. His home was at Salem. He
ame to Texas some time in the 00's and
ion thereafter engaged in the newspaper
usiness. It is needless for me to tell
ou he succeeded in his chosen profession.
Col. JamesQ. Chenowetli, of this city,
who was first auditor of the treasuiy
uring the first Cleveland administraiou,
and for a number of yeais county
udge of Ifaunin county lias embarked
[i the newspaper business here in Bonam.
Col. Chenoweth has associated
imself with Mr. J. M. Terry, who was
lie editor and proprietor of the daily and
weekly Fannin Favorite. Col. Chenoweth
is a fine lawyer and a fluent orator
nd I am happy to say I number him
mong my best friends, and I am glad he
as decided to enter the journalistic
eld where he can and will make the
ower of his fauile pen felt.
Bonham will have another railroad
