Kellogg's Lecture.
The Kellogg lecture recital hist Friday
evening, which was the second
number of the Library Lyceum course,
was greeted by a large and appreciative
audience. Mr. Kellogg's reproduction
of the songs of birds was most marvelous,
In his aocompaniment to the piano,
he caualed the beat trained fpjit.hnrod
songsters. The sterescoptican views of
birds and their eorroundings was most
pleasing and instructive, one of them,
being of the greatest crow-roosts in the
United States, where it is estimated
fully 1,000,000 crows sleep on a winter's
night.
Owing to the raiiroad schedules between
here and Laurens he did not arrive
in time for the matinee, which was
a great disappointment to the children.
The money paid by them for the matinee
was returned to them,
Mr. Kellogg is a real naturalist.

Letter to S. M. Beaty,
Union, S. C.
, Dear Sir: As your business is to get
people into and out of trouble, suppose
you consider their paint; it makes tbem
almost as much trouble as money, except
of course matrimony.
They buy poor paint a good deal; they
don't mean to; they don't know any battel;
they buy without thinking. Bad
paint isn't good. It looks good enough
for a year; then begins to get rusty: but
changes so slowly, one don't notice it
Looking isn't all. The business of
paint is to keep a house dry inside, tli3
wood and iron of it; keep it from rotting
and rusting. ?Takes good paint to do it,
Good and bad paint are sold at oue
price or about that'. Ooi can't go by
pride stall; as with lawyers the price
has nothing to do with goodness or badnfes;
and costs are worse yet; the painter
and sheriff come in for their share.
But the probability is that a man, who
paints Devoe, will come-out on top.
Yours truly,
16. F. W. Dbvoe Jk Jo.

Good Roads in the South.
I No movement calling for popular
aid or co-operutivo assistance on the
' part of the legislative and tMnimcr*
cial bodies hus made such vapid progress
in so short a time us the good
road movement in the South. While
thia movement is general throughout
the country and seems to be attract
ing all elements to its support, in the
South, where great natural resources
are being developed at an unprecedented
rate, and where facilities for
transportation aro a matter of immediate,
pressing concern, largely
made so during the past three years,
this subject of improved country
highways is taking deeper root with
the people than iu most other sections.
The commerce of the world comes
primarily from the ground, and as a
rule the cost of transporting a product
is relatively higher in the initial
stage?from the lield or mine to. the
railroad, river or canal?than in any
other nart of its innmnv i r? tlm \im*M 'a
r J j V..W ?J
markets. The most expensive and
the most oppressive kind of transportation
is wagon transportation,
where it is accomplished over bad
roads.
In recent years so much has been
done to perfect traffic relations between
Southern Railway points and
all the great commercial centers,
not only of this country but of the
world, that it is simply logical to exlend
the system of economical distribution
of products to the home of
the farmer, and the way to a <-omplish
this is through the improvement
of the country wagon roads.?

Sedalin Chronicles.
We are enjoying this frosty good
weather with all the pleasure possible.
A good time to kill hogs you
know Mr. Editor, and you know when
the "tater" roasting and "goober"
grabling, beer ranking, pop corn
parching, and above all "lasses"
candy making etc. time comes around
we pile up the wood in the corner
and say?but we don't mean with
the foolish man?eat, drink and be
merry. And I tell you there is no
foolishness attached to such contentment,
nothing but thoughts of future's
pleasant realities.
I had the pleasure of being an eye
witness to the pretty marriage of
Miss, Josie Murphy to Mr. Cromwell
Donely on the 17th. Miss Murphy
is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.
B. Murphy of this place, and the
marriage toftk place at their home by
Rov. E. C. Watson, her pastor, in
the presence of the many relatives
and friends; the wedding march was
softly chimed by Mrs. W. H. Smith,
of Union.
Miss Murphy was one of the brightest
gems our community atrorded,
and will be missed so much in her
home circle, at Sunday school, prayer
meeting,4 and one of the most
prominent places, the Ladies Missionary
Society, but we listen, and
we bear that the Lord works in a
mysterious way his wonders to perform.
Mr. Donely's homo is in Charleston,
and the people of Union know
him to be a-prominent, quiet business
man. They took the noon train
Wednesday bound for Charleston,
and we extend to them our hoartiest
congratulations.
Mrs. W. H. Smith and her little
son, Master Carl, are out enjoying
the fresh country air with us. Mrs.
Smith has been very sick, and we
hope her trip will improve her, as
this is the home of her childhood,
and she has now beou away, only at
snore intervals, eleven yours, and
sho thinks a great many things tuke
place in us kids, which does, as she
used to see us rolling spools in the
sand, and making frog houses, but
ah ! Wtoat do you suppose she sees or
says she does? And that is some
little girl, as it were, making step
ladders, or stilts, to see if "wo" had
sprouted moustacho. Weil, she alwuys
cohld seo right well, J used to
think, but I guess eleven years of
maturity she can see more singular
iy.
Well, I enjoyed a musical at the
home of Mrs. M. S. Murphy on last
evening 10th inst. I certainly did
' have a fine time, but I thought the
closing exercises best of all, and you
know that must have been saying
good night at the gate.'
too Unaoio M HIok r\ f Waal
has charge of the school at Padgett's
Creek. Miss Bessie is a prominent
teacher, and the only objection that
any of ns Cbuld have to her, is that
she keeps her heart and attentions
toward home, or somewhere else, as
it don't come toward us as we would
have it. But I know I'll never give
up in deBpair, for I heard an "old
bach" say the other day that he was
still in hopes
The Woman's Missionary Society
had a most delightful exercise on drd
Sunday at Padgett's Creek, of which
Mrs. R. M. Lee is ^president, Mrs.
W. T. Davis vice-president, Miss
Bertha Humphries secretary, Miss
Agnes Wilburn treasurer. All the
exercises were conducted with perfect
ease and showed such a Christian
spirit. The collection amounted to
about $20, which I think did splen
lidly.
^ Bat what I am looking forward to
, is the good women say wo little boys
must have a society, and we know
> that if we could just get the good
women to lead us we could make a
success.
< Miss Fannie Andorson, of Union,
' has the Prospect school in charge,
I and I think she hus made a most
favorable Impression on all the pat*
