Our Exchanges.

THE LaurenSviUe Herald goes for the
Nem6erry Herald because the former
saws the stores Of Laurcns 'look dilapi-
Dated and 1.-THE place can never pros
per- without a railroad. The Laurens
editor claims to nave 'lots'' of stores-all
we'll filled. We should judge from the
aGyertiseme nts in the LaurcnSriUc Her.
| ald, that a majority of them we're we'll
filled and will remain so, for all time, as
nobody will ever find out that they are
in town. If the Laurens editor would
have the public believe his town is a
prosperous one he should refer to more
local advertisements.
The local of the Keowee Courier went
to q pic mic last week. He saw a snake
with feet and legs on this occasion. He
however, very wisely was en- route for
home soon after the snakes put in an ap-
p%carance. He had had enough. We
hope he got home without help. Strange
how u pic mic will affect some people, and
then the editor had such u modest way of
telling it.
The Christian Neigh6or edited by the
Rev. Sidi Browne, so well known i'll the
community, takes as the motto Of his pa
per-"Thou shalt love thy neighbor rs
myself" This injunction We have in
one particular instance, faithfully observ-
cd for a long time, but we think the Rev
ercnd brothers paper has very little upon
her.
The KershGw Gazette is q good paper,
but it would be q better one ii the inside
were printed in minion or nonpariel.
Long primer and small plea should be
entirely discarded from the newspaper.
In our opinion BREWER is the largest size
that should be used in a country paper.
Subscribers do not read by the square
inch.
Now let young men and maidens gather
under outrageous oaks, On level
grounds, and engage in that most fascina-
ting of all games, Croquet. But how Of
ten is it the experience of those who thus
meet together, to loose sight entirely OF
the beauties of the game, so deeply inter-
estcd are they in the beauties n attrac-
tons of each other!-Pee Dee Watchmdn.
DR.. I. Cannon killed Il mad dog in Tony
Creek settlement on Tuesday. Several
other dogs had been bitten by him.

their dogs as a ~precaution. Great uneasi
ness is felt by the neighborhood on
recount of the danger.-1nderson INTEL
,'qencer,
THE Ninety-Sir Guardian is the title OF
a new paper just issued at Ninety-Six by
Mr.. NJ. B. Sweeney. The paper is q large
fine looking one land well edited, and
we congratulate the town upon having so
excellent a journal. We shall take the
liberty of making clippings from it.
SOME one drove q buggy to Laurens
last week. 1t was such a curiosity that
some of the boys stole the nuts Off the
