h- Secretary Hay's refusal to ask for
passports fur Rev. Hiram W. Thomas

Mr. Cochran said: "And now it has

come to pass, when the wails of the

every gale, provoking a responsive
chord in the hearts of sympathetic

are willing 10 relieve iiie ssuiierings ui
'ie the ;e unfortunates, that our Secretary
of State discovers seme rule of

by which the American republic is
0,1 yoked in the companionship of this
gh infamous power and made to seem to

upon the cowardice of the American

Joiiesville News Notes,
JoxusviLLB, April 14.?The 18th of
April always carries my mind back
to that date 1801, the day that 1,
with many others from this county,
as well as other parts of the State,
started to the civil war, and it was
on that same day, 1865, that 1, with
inany others, started home from Appomattox
Court House, Va., with
our swords sheathed never to be uusheathod
any more. It was a sad
thing to leave home and loved ones
to go to the war, and it was equally
as sad to patt with comrades at the
surrender, some of whom wo were
never to meet again.
Yesterday was a lovely day but
today is cold and raw.
Farmers are planting some of both
cotton and corn, though not very
largely yet, as much grouud is yet to
be prepared.
The news of the death of (Jen'l
Wude Hampton, South Carolina's
great soldier and Statesman, was
much deplored by all our people.
The sad news of the death of the
venerable B. W. Lee, of Bogansville,
was received last Saturday with sorrow,
as he was one of the old land
marks of the county. Rev. David
Hucks was called to Bogansville yesterday
to funeralize Mr. Lee; he returned
in the evoning and preached
at the Methodist church last night.
Several people from Jonesville and
the community went to Charleston

Mrs. J.L. McWhirfcer remained
over this week in Charleston with
the Daughters of the Confederacy.
Mr. and Mrs. J, L. West, of West
Springs, have been on a two week's
visit to relatives in town.
Mrs. R. W. Lemaster is very sick,
and her son, J. N. Lemaster, wife and
baby, from Blackstock, came today
in answer to a telegram to attend the
sick mother.
Since writing the above I have
heard that Mrs. Lemaster has died.
J)r. A. K. Fant, of Santuc, spent
Saturday and Sunday in our town
with relatives. The doctor is quite
interesting in conversation and loves
to recite his war reminiscences and
to hear others recite theirs.
Mr. Charles Hames, of Gaffney,
visited his parents in our town yesterday.
Mr. C. H. Foster, of Union, came
up yesterday quite sick with cold and
threatened with fever.
Rev. A. A. James tilled his pulpit
here yesterday.

Letter From Spartanburg.
Mr. Editor:?It has been some
time since you have heard from me,
a;: 1 my old girl is in your county
I am all alone. A man feels like a
frog feels when no one is listening at
him, there is no fun in it. That
is my feeling at this time.
You often hear women say when a
man gets married the second time, f
if 1 was him I would have waited s
a little longer, the reason was the .
the other woman beat her to him.
Wo had a case of that kind to happen 8
in the city not long since, and I heard c
a girl say those same words.
We are to have a row Buptist
church built here this summer, and
Mr. A. B. Calvert is to build a new 11
cotton mill just outside the city lim- h
I its, and our street car line is to be \\
extended, and several new things are r
in progress on all sides of the city,
so you see we are still moving along. n
I was in hopes you all would push ?
the street cars as you had started 1,
some time back. Don't give it up g
they make a town full of life, and I
hope so much to see my old home
come up and get in the lead "
Mrs. Dolph Gregory, from Gibbes, y
is in our city visiting Mrs. Mattie a
Lawson. I called on her while here, ^
and she looks as young as she did .
fifteen years ago. We are always
glad to see any of our old friends
come up. Come again cousin Martha.
Some people will leave here next
week for the reunion in Dallas, Tex.
Our book-keeper, Miss Hattie Harty,
will leave here to visit her brother,
C. P. Harty, and sister, Mrs. C. G.
Shell, in Georgetown, Texas. We
wish her a pleasant visit, while our
office will feel in her absence like a
homo without a mother. The manager
will take his trip when she returns,
and in August I hope to run
down and spend ray vacation with
you all. Union Bov.
Fair Forest Notes
As you have no correspondent from
this place I will attempt to give you
a lino or two.
Farmers are making rapid progre-s
at prr sent, but plowing has boen
far la hind until now. 1 think there
will bo u largo cotton crop planted
through this section this year. Better
raise corn, peas, oats, wheat and
meat, Mr. Farmer, is my advice.
Mr. If. (J. Bailey, of your town,
v:s ted his father and mother, Mr. i
and Mrs. Willium Bailey, recently. 1
His sister, Miss Lina, who has been \
in bed several years, has again lost
her voice, and is very low at this
writing. I hope she will speedily 1
recover. j
Misses Fannie, Bessie and Mattie '
Wilburn spent a few clays at the Exposition.
I
1 am glad to see iny friend, G. C j
Greer, who shot his foot accidentally 1
HDoiu mroe months ago. is able to go
about ngoin, but the wound don't I

The Exposition seems to now be in m A
ull swing and people from every lli
ection are flocking to see it by the,
mndreds. It would, we think, be a
ood idea to extend the time for
losing it at least a month.
A five week's old infant in Harper, ,

ut of their wits and it is said many
amilies are preparing to leave the to m

nother Kansas fake? We suggest supj;
