FORK.

Rev. J. B. Adger, of Pendleton, will
preach in the Baptist Church at Townville
next Sunday, the l7th..".All the schools in
this township, save one, are closed tempo
rarily, enjoying season of recreation......
There are q few cases of measles near Town
vile. This contagion has prevailed in this
community more o- less generally for the
last two years...... We are requested to state
that public entertainment will be given at
Double Springs Grange hall next Saturday,
18th, consisting OF a debate at 9 q. m, a
basket dinner at IL m., and dance in the
afternoon. James A. CAN'T, most
exemplary farmer, furnished his harvesters
with luncheon and hot coffee at intervals
through the day. This is decided i'm
provement on the old-time whiskey custom,
and is certainly moro substantially stimu-
lative The drouth had lasted precisely
five weeks, when ON last Saturday evening
most portions of the Fork were visited with
light but refreshing showers, followed that
night and the gre er part of Sunday by q
slow, steady rain, hich altogether make q
very good season. This morning (Monday)
everything presents cheerful aspect, and
the people are quite busy transplanting.....
Harvesting is fairly begun, and the wheat
crop in particular gives promise of more
abundant yield than has been had in this
section for several years. Messrs. H. w.
McCarley G. Co.. CAN'T & Co., and G. w.
Burns, threshermen, are hastily preparing
for vigorous competitive campaign.....At
the close of the season we will ascertain and
report correct aggregate of the amount Of
wheat. oats, &C., produced in this township.

SANDY SPRINGS.

The thing so long. prayed for and so much
needed was thankfully received few days
ago. Since the shower everything has an
invigorating and lively appearance. The
farmers are beginning to smile and look
somewhat cheerful since their crops have
commenced to grow. Corn and cotton, al
though small, is looking very we'll. With
good seasons from this on, and late Fall,
there will be very near, if not quite, as
much made as last year,. Wheat that the
hail-storm did not strike is very fine; but
that which the hail did pass over and in
jure has sprouted from the old stubble and
will no doubt make half crop. Mr.. 7. L.
Reid's wheat was the worst abused of any
in the neighborhood, and with good seasons
he will make tolerably good crop...".The
fence law is being agitated to considerable
extent by our land-holders. Some are for
and some against it. We are under the
impression, though, that the majority are
in favor of no fence......The members Of
Sandy Springs Church have taken steps to-
wards recovering the Arbor. We hope
they may succeed, especially if they con-
clude to have camp-meeting next Fall be-
cause it would not be advisable to have q
meeting under the arbor in its present dan
gerous condition. Mrs. Nettie Gilkerson,
formerly McElroy, came up o week or ten
days ago from her home in Laurens to pay
her relatives and friends visit. Mrs. G. is
as gay and as fascinating as in her maiden
charms. She is delighted with her new
home.

MCanker in the Bud.N

You watch its development with expec-
tant soicitude-the choice, exquisitely-
moulded bud which promises to unfold with
the perfect flower. You perhaps think how
it will adorn the drawing-room and vase,
and anticipate the pleasure of showing it
to your wer-loying friends. But some
morning you find its head dropping, its fra
GRANGE fled, and an ugly purple spot on one
of the delicately- tinted petals. 1t is the
poets "canker in the bud" How often the
loathsome canker blights the cherished Gin
fant blossoms" in our household gardens
those human buds which give earnest of q
brilliant future. The noisome canker, so
long conccaled-scrofula-a at length reveals
its dreaded presence and to our bright hopes
succeeds the most agonizing fear, for we
know the fatal sequel it portends- -pulmo-
nary consumption. 1t is estimated by emi-
nent medical authorities that at least one
fifth of mankind are afflicted with this in
sidious malady. But its ravages are so Sc.
cret, that even its victims are unaware of
its presence until it suddenly discloses itself
in some of its myriad and ofttimes fatal
forms. A slight cutaneous eruption is often
the only indicator of its presence: The on
ly means of exterminating this disease from
the system is by thorough course of con-
stitutional treatment. This treatment must
fulfill three indications, namely, promote
nutrition, alter or purify the blood, and ar.
rest disorganization of the tissues and the
formation of tubercles.. No more efficient
Alternative can be employed for these purpo-
ses than DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Dis

to forget their baskets for the day, which
will no doubt be very pleasant and agree
able occasion.
The dog-law is being rigidly enforced in
the Town of Anderson. There are some of
our citizens who are opposed to it, and be-
ilieve the hydrophobia excitement is all non
sense, and that there is no such disease, ex-
cept in the imagination of individuals. To
them we commend the views Of. our Honea
Path correspondent that hogs and COWS have
gone mad from the bite of demented ca
nine. We hardly suppose they can attrib-
ute the madness of these animals to imagi-
nation. The argument that because people
pay tax on their dogs they are at liberty to
keep them in the streets is also without
force. The menagerie keeper pays tax on
his lions and wolves, but that does not en-
title him to turn them loose. The Town
Council owns our streets, and it is not only
its right but also its duty to guard against
the danger, or even possibility, ofone of our
citizens being bitten by a mad dogion the
streets, which we are compelled to frequent.
The ordinance is good one, and should be
enforced until the danger is passed.

LEBANON.

There have been three dogs on the mad
order in our midst during the past week.
Two of these belonged to freedmen on the
place of Mr.. Jeptha Harper, and one was at
five forks. The symptoms of the disease
were well developed in these brutes, and
they were killed. They had fits, and their
eyes were very green. I wish that three
fourths of the dogs in our country could be
killed, and then we would be able to raise
sheep proftably......We again have an op-
portunity of adopting the law requiring
every one to fence up his stock, and be-
lieve that our people will avail themselves
of it, for it is assuredly to the interest of
both land owners and laborers to adopt its
provisions. One~third of our present stock
properly housed and cared for would pay
much better thar what we now have. The
compost which we could save and the I'M
provement of ouc stock would of itself repay
for the trouble Of keeping them up......A
few days ago a colored man named Perry
Young was arrespsd on warrant issued by
s. s. Jones, Trial Justice, for breaking into
the house of Mr.. A. E. King and stealing
some bacon and meal. He confessed his
guilt to the constable, Mr.. A. K. Mann, but
succeeded in making his escape. A brother
Of this negro, named Berry Benson or Berry
Jones, was excluded from his church for a
heinous offense, and would also have been
prosecuted had he not left this section of
the country.

Everybody was made glad by the rain on
Saturday and Sunday last. The crops are
now looking fresh and promise well. Wheat
is being harvested, and if no accident hap
pens to it, the yield will be large. Steam

of the damage done by the Phillips mad

mills, one run by steam-the other by a

of the township.
