Summer is gone and autumn i* right upon us. Leaves arc falling fast as if frost hit. They were nearly. The temperature dropped to 40, 49 and 38 decrees iu two davs last / I week.

It seemed last week that ]arge fie Ms of peas were goiug to cross >ver the 'Mead line" into trost Plows are being speeded preparing the I ?n'ls a'-d patting in <?afs. Prospects for a large acreage is good. M iss llattie Moore g've a juvenile parry to seveial of her young friends last Thursday night. Mr. W.

I have a cherry tree in full bloom, the seco*.d iinethis \ear. hut it wiil have no fruit, it is entirely our oi season and never does much bearing f< uir. Tne negroes (and s one uhi'e people for oughl I know) have been making ii ho' for 'p-wouus for over a in >nih or six weeks No inatrer ho* in my sores fr--tn chiggers and ticks it is powerful fat and good The ginning season has opened and cotton is beieg ginned about afa^t as picked, if not so d. The price is low for a scanty crop.

I like it L confess. But then I will say I am as good as the best at plowing, I am not going to he beateu, if it 19 bragging. Then I brag. I guess if anybody would get in beck with something foreign, such as a Crowbar, a rubber hose, a yard stick of pipe iron, a trace chain or a monkey wrench anil suddenly think it u snal^e he would hurry up and get out. I got in bed recently and felt something cold, and quicker tha? it takes to tell it I thought it was a snake and the wiv I got out was a record breaker, but I found it only an open knife. An open knife is not a suitable bc'lfeliow, hut one need not nurry at a nreaK neek speed to part companionship it. Toero is soino oouipla'nt I hear, about v?ry old 2nd or more hand j bagging and ties without buckles, i Sometimes fanners can't procure any other kii.(l because it ia not kept on hand. The factories set in to have it their wav to push this old tuufF off on the farmers at ?n Qimrniou< price fait, sell it and resell it, deduct in price for "tare;" and then too we hear grumbling about cotton being so badly put up. There is no excuse for put ting up cotton badly with new mveriai hut tlx re is for rotteu stuff 1 I liavo not seen the "skeleton iu the olosets, ' but I have been bearing a noise. I have heard of some stock, a negro's mule and others, starving to death while there is lots of greqp feed f t th g*thering, but if pastures ^et so bare that stock - % Ss?j ' . <&& mill si have Cu cat the dirt, it is a? ha.I on tht'Ui as bleak winter ami they may its well "slip the cable ami Rem! in their slip^" row as in winter with freezing milled. K >r uiy part I had rather swap them off for a sus pender buckle, a fish ho .k, a gimlet, a jack knife or a pocket full of hickory nuts. If a dirt-dauber was like some col ored people it never would finish a nest, for when it went hack for another load of mud, it would forget, where it started the nest, and would ' tote" ail the mud out of the branch star ing new nests. You had bet er no' get out of the wagon to "g > through" and tell sotoe negroes to go the same road through the pines, that he went last week, for ten to one you will have to go back to hunt him and likeiy to find hitu away ofl' ' heading off" some long hollow, and then declare he thought you sai?l, "D ?n't cross the branch at the same place." The colored people have been holding a very protracted meeting of two week's duration, and uiany were about preached ro sleep: They were too sleepy to work. They got a tough old sinner down one night and at 2 a. m- I heard them shouting ami hollering "Oh! Glory.*' A terrible fuss was kept and I don't think an owl, mink, 'possum or any other nocturnal rambler was out, but had varnouscd the community or gone to their ho:es. The whole library of shout tenors was bankrupted. It seemed like foolishness or else they .were testing their lungs. They certainly "expressed" him with the power of shouting, while so much go >d "c miQUtiion" was going on. Phey had to "bring him through" after "getting him down." lie then come "sweeping through the gates." I iNckon. I was vitwing what Broad river h ?d done during so many freshet* this 'ear, a few days ago. Two of those fre'hets were big ones. One uDout ill foot and the other nearly as high, and *taid on the bottoms nearly a week Not only is the bottoms bare f crops, but much satoi is on 'he land and some bully wa.-hed. Nearly all of the small islands in X-il's shoals are washed out, only a few scraggy bu-bes left to show wheie tnoy were. The dam at Jeter's Mill has been badly damaged, and great volumes of water passes away, and uoiior low water, tha old mdl w >uid have to suspend operations. .As well a'- thts being an old land mark the null is a great convenience, almost'indispensable, for the peopV around, and I have never y t seen ' read as g tod as that old tntd makes Hut $oftie things needs rebuilding about there sure, now. If people I make corn, there is bound to be eustotn and they tuay tnake some again, some day, or bust, if not buster. IIey Denver, Etta Jane Etchings. E'.ta Jane, Oct. 14.? Vt a meet ing of i lie Cuun ty Board of Cherokee county, held a' (iaffucy last .\|ondt}y, . it was agreeif that this County would jom York cognty in establishing and l maintaining a free ferry at Howell's Fi try f>r a period of three years. A ppraisers met at the ferry site Inst Saturday and valued the property helonging to the ferry, which will be taken by the counties, each of which agree to boar an equal proportion of t"ho expense of establishing and maintaining said free ferry at that point. Just as soon as every thing can be put in readiness wo presume that the traveling p ople will be accommodated at thm point with free fciriagc. At present the Salem congrcga tion are without a preacher. The action "f Het:n'l Preabytory in grouping four other churches in that presbytery has left Saleiu out.
