Dear Editor: Having let quite a sjh'H of time elapse since visitiiq you last with pen and paper, 1 will ask you to pardon my seeming negligence, and then attempt to sent you a few dots for the next issue o your interesting weekly. March has furnished ideal weather for plowing, and the various other works preparatory to farming. There is a great deal of fertilizer Ircing brought out to the farm, hut I think, as a general thidg, guane will he less used hen*, than formerly, as almost all our farmers have pledged themselves to reduce their cotton acreage. It seems Spring is not to l?o dethroned by the second appearance of winter. The peach and plum trees have adorned their silk-like apparel to do homage to Spring.

JONES V1LLE NEWS. The Anti-Dispensary Petitions Being Circulated. Jones ville, March 27 th.?Moat everyone has a good word to say for the "good March weather, but April may change that sentiment. Spring always brings hard times in the way of something to cat and j this spring is no exception to the rule: The hard winter killed most j of the turnips and other garden truck and as for sweet potatoes | they are not to be found in the country. The merchants are ship- < ping in some potatoes and they are i selling at $1.50 the bushel. ' Fig trees were killed by the hard winter where they were not well protected. j Haskell Holder died in the mill town last week with that dreadful j disease consumption. Mr. Holder was a young nun/ of good moral ] character and haa many friends. At thejpadTnl school house last Friday'ivrening friends and patrons , of the school were well entertained fofr about two hours by the school j with a program of local production Rev. H. K. Ezell, of Kelton, Miss Maggie Walker and Mr. Jim Powell of Union attended the school exer cises. The farmers association met again last Saturday evening in Adams hall and discussed the cotton situation which is agitating the whole south at this time. Mr. James G. Long, Jr., of ] Union was in Joncsville this morning \ leaving some petitions to be circ.u- \ lated for signatures requesting the , county commissioners to order an i election for the removal of the dis- < pensary from the county. I am quiie sure there will be but few who ; will refuse to sign said petition. D. B. Fant, superintendent of ! education, was in Joncsville a few 1 days since visiting the schools. He j called at my office and we had a i pleasant talk of a few moments. Miss Eliza A. Garner visited some friends in our town last week. , Work on the drug store has com- < lnenced and we expect soon to see a handsome brick building and a fine and costly furnished modern drug store in our town, something we need and a thing that will no doubt pay a good dividend. A building lx>om has been revived in Joncsville and quite a number of residences will be built in the near future. Mr. J. J. Littlcjolm, Mr. J. D. Jeffcries, Jr., and Mrs. J. S.
