Loafng per force, is the hardest
work imaginable. .
Thus far. this has been an abundant
fruit year, and if we don't have any
more hail storms breadstuffs will be at
discount.
We hear nothing of the closing ex-
ercises of the Easloy High school.--
What say you, Professor H.? When
is your commencement to be?
The Light Guards have parade
"every 'casionally." They are pros
crossing finely, considering. Regular
meetings on Friday night of every
week. .." .'
Be calm and easy about the street
working, worthy councilmon. Just
work day or two now and then.
Our young friend and brag shoe-
makor, Mr.. J. r. S., is said to be the
LATEST man in town. , -.
Querry-Who are the most popular
young ladies? Answer-Those who
take lively interest in the choir, and
don't eat onions.
MI. Elias Mauldin claims the brag
cow now. Ho says she will give
twelve gallons of milk per day, and
this is not good time for milking
either.
AS the season for commencements
approaches the young ladies, unusual
ly, grow very social and clever. A
little more attention at that time, if
you please.
Better painters than Mr. W. E. AL
word are still up North, or somewhere
else. He is doing somo nice work
now for w. M. Hagood Dc Co., and
when completed will enhance the val,
ue of their property considerably.
There is so much singing and
preaching, and so many Sunday
schools in Easlcy of late, that man
with bad teeth hasn't timo to eat
enough on Sundays. Let 'er roll.
when you geta little too warm,
call on Nelson Holcombe. lie has
just put into operation machine,
from which is furnished the very best
ice>cold soda water. l never drink
much.
Mr.. II. supports the prettiest turn~
out in the city. His friend Mr.. B.
says it is because che drives q Geor-
gia horse" and, although lam q Car
Gilman, am inclined to agree with
Mr.. B.
1t is seldom our marshal has any
fun, but when he does he enjoys it
hugely. Business with him is busi~
ness, and so it is with the council.
TO the family and friends of Mr.. J.
II. A. (ho clovercat man in Easley)
would we tender our sympathies. lie
is in rather critical conditon-very
low with the Texas fever. We wish
him o speedy recovery.
The new church is about completed.
Three cheers for the committee, Fore
acre 4 Co. Now, whom the choir gets
in there with that pretty organ, won't
then sing! Only $95-we know that
timesare hard and money scarce, but
everybody must help a little.
Human life is comparatively cheap
just now---it only costs a little excite
ment for time. We trust. however,
that the killing OF one Mr.. Ladd may
be thoroughly investigatedaand the
accused parties receive justice from
the law, in the strictest sense OF the
term.
Our .lunatic has returned. His trip
didn't demoralize him by any means.
He was unusually attentive to busi>
ness the day after his return, and
could be found at his post of duty at
any time. ..t... ..
The District Conference is to be
held at this place, embracing the End
Sabbath in August. Make ready with
your chickens, turkeys, &C., as n large
attendance is expected, and you know
these "delicates" are heavy on such

Easley Light Guards. We would adj

once.
