SALE-DAy-catne and passed off with
out anything special to relate. Fewer
people were here than is usually the
case, we suppose owing to the fact that
farmers are busy just now getting out of
the grass, and max ing a START toward 5
harvesting their wheat.
THE MEETINGs-of Friday night at the
Court House, and Oh Saturday at Mount
Pleasant Church, were we'll attended,
Addresses were delivered at the first by
Mr.. W. Spearman and Capt. Y. J. Pope.
At the latter by Capt. Pope and the Rev.
Mr.. Black. Tie addresses were good,
and acccsSions were made to tho already
large number which the society now
justly boasts as belonging to the grand
temperance army.

We were the recipient of serenade
several nights ago. It was grand. We
have not been able, however, to learn
whether it was Gdcon's band, or the
Evening or "Morning Star Troupe" "
The latter no doubt, as the enrapturing
melody broke upon the stiffness of the
morning air near the ''wee sma' hours
ayant the twal." The artists need but
one instrument more to render their tout
ensemble complrtc-a JewSharp.
AccoMMoDATISc,-One of the most
popular lines of travel now is the Laurens,

mediation, and les: our word be doubted.
we are happily able to furnish proof.
One day last week, while the train was
bowling along, tive little girls were OBJ
served standing near the track, each with
basket f cherries, which they wished
to dispose Of; they looked for the train
to be stopped, which would have been
| done had the conductor been awake at
the moment, but to thc disappointment
Of the little misses it continued it's course.
What now thought they, our cherries
must be sold |; for n moment only did
they seem troubled, for the younger said
"let Us overtake it sister. come" And
sure enough they did walk up and over
take it, sold their cherries, made change,
and got their III ncy, all the while the
train was in motiun. This comes from
the ''rcliable gentleman" who is now
travelling for this local department.
WELL's REAPuR-We had the pleasure
on Monday last Of Witnessing the work
ing of Mr.. Osburn Wells Reaper. This
machine cuts cleaner than can be done
by hand and throws the wheat ont in
even piles for the binders, four or five
Of whom are kept as busy as bees in
,ieng up. Il will cut ten acres per day,
and do the work cleanly, there being
little fany waste. We congratulate our
en,crpriSing and go-ahead townsInan i'll
having secured so admirable labor
| saving machine and believe that it will
re turn him the cost in saving OF time and
waste in the cutting Of his own wheat,
which is said to be equal to the best, and
about seventy acres in extent.
Our friend ThoE. F. Harmon and his
new buggy and fine male, will accept
thanks for drive to Mr.. Wells field,
otherwise VIC might not have had that
satisfaction.
The WEATHER AND CRoPs.-The de-
ligh,ful weather of the last fortnight has
Signally assisted the growth vegetation.
Under its influence the cotton plant has
nearly recovered from the ill-cfftcts Of
the very cool nights which some
time since prevailed. Ard We are told
by observing farmers that there is good
stand in the district. Corn generally
looks well, but We are afraid that there
is not quite enough planted, yet the
Weld Of wheat and oats we hope will
atone this time for any deficiency in that
crop. The oat crop is considerable one,
and looks very tiHc--whiie the wheat

ing it this and next week. bends It's
countless millions Of heads TO the brceze--
telling us thereby that they are full.
We have 1card some little said about
"rust," but do not apprchcnd much dan
ger from that source. Should no heavy
storms of wind or hail arise within the
next two weeks, Newberry will exult in
much more than an average yield Of
wheat. We have heard it said about an
average crop and half
