OAKLAND ' ! v Oakland, Feb. 16.?Some work is new being done on the farm in the way of piougmng up terraces* put. ting stalks and shrubbing back the hedges, and had it continued dry many ploughs would soon have been turning the soil. Rain has checked garden work again for several days. Some few gardens have already been ploughed but the ground was rateh wet. The much talked of bad roads, which has prevailed throughout everysection of the county for the past two months, and which has furnished a mouthpiece for half the people XA harp on, has been the cause of the campaign which is now on foot t<? raise funds to establish permanent roads on the main highways of the county. This partial road building which will benefit only the minority of the people is not likely to meet with much favor or support ffom those who are not living on the hotels to be built. Every voter of tJrilon county should realize just what condition our county is now in (Att&ncially) before imposing greater responsibilities upon her. The pfMfeflt times are very squally to undertake such a proposition, as it is to be determined by the voters of this county on April 6th.

A few farmers had started heir plows but I fear their land was ?ot ready?too wet to plow. Charlie Harris, an old time colored nan died last Friday and was bured Saturday. He was industrious ind was much respected by the white aeople. He was a democrat and /oted for Wade Hampton in 1876, and always voted with the democrats, rhese old slaves are passing away /ery fast and when they Are all gone heir influence will be missed among he younger negroes. Too many of them get a little education and it makes fools of them. Uncle John Garner, an old Confederate soldier and veteran grave digger, superintended digging the grave in respect to Uncle Charlie's wishes several /ears ago, that if he lived longest he wanted him to do so. Mrs. Claude Sims who lived just across Pacolet river in Cherokee county, died last Saturday, after a short illness. Interment was at Mt.
