Providence has favored this com
munity with several refreshing
showers in the last few days making
the luXuriant foliage of our woods
and fields look lovely beyond de
scription. Crops are looking much
better under their genial influences,
and we yet hope to realize a full
crop of corn, but do not expect any
big things from King cotton. Farm
ers are harvesting thir oats, but the
yield will be short on account Of
rust. People are cutting their
meadow hay and are gathering a
full crop. There is no danger Of
monopolizing the wheat business i'll
this country now. We have too
many threshers for that, and every
one is contending for the mastery.
and it is "nip and tuck" who will
get it, but from all signs "tuck'
will get it. The wheat crop will av-
erage about five bushels, much
shorter than was expected. The
people are throwing all their sur
plus on the market and seem to be
getting fair prices for it.
C. G. Vaughan and brother have
the honor of shipping the finest
car load of wheat, from Wales Sta
ton this season, which speaks well
for the enterprizing brothers.
Mrs. Green, Mrs. die and Miss
Anna Jamison are visiting relatives
in Columbia at present. We wish
them much pleasure where they
spent their childhood's happiest
hours. The absen ce of 'wild flow
err creates a vacuum in the social
circles here.
The Rev. w. Weakley is visiting
his relatives and friends at Nash
vile. One object of his visit is the
improvement of his health which
has been declining lately. He will
not return until some time in Au-
gust when we hope that he will be
fully restored to health. He may
rest assured of having the good
wishes of both saint and sinner in
this section. His popularity as
man, and his favorable reception as
preacher, is based upon his hav-
ing a good word and smile for ev-
erybody as well as his marked in
telligence.
Miss Jennie johnson of the Mt.
Olivet neighborhood is visiting rel
atives in this vicinity. We hope
she will honor us with the pleasure
of her smiles for some time yet.
Visits of fair ones to this village are
so rare that it enables us to appre
ciate them the more. Mr.. G. Ii. Witt
and lady visited relatives here the
other day. 1t is rich treat to bask
in his social presence for a time,
Mr.. j. NJ. HARDWOOD of Wales hon
ored our village with a visit a few
days ago. smoleing his sweetest
smiles. Rumor has it that he is 90
ing to pluch one of our fairest flow
ers some day. Well, that's right;
women are like watches because
they are a household necessity.
The Sunday School at Hebron is
not prospecting as well as could be
desired. 1t seems that those pre-
dieting its downfall will yet see
their words verified. There is only
one way to prevent this unpleasant
conclusion, and that is for every one
TO be prompt in attendance. | be
lieve it is the opinion of older heads
now that Sunday Schools are not as
popular as they once were. The
reason ] do not know, but one thing
is sure they are hard to keep up in
the country.
Mrs. Harriet Woodland died at the
residence of her son, j. p. Woodland
on Dry Creek last Wednesday even
ing in the sixty fourth year of her
age. Deceased had the misfortune
to lose her husband at an early age
of welded life, thus throwing the
cares of large family upon her to
care for and educate. They were
twelve in number, ten are yet living,
eight of whom are in this State fill
ing responsible positions in society.
All that knew her can testify TO her
liberality and high moral worth.
How littingly did the words OF Sol
onion apply to her when he says
"She riseth while 1t is yet night and
giveth food TO her household and
portion 70 her maidens."
Our town was well represented at
the dedication at Mareella Falls
last Sunday.
II was the printer that made Nc
Knight appear instead of Mckenzie
in my last article. intended the
lady no injustice. certainly wrote
it right.
