On last Tuesday slow, wc!tng rain sci in,
which continued through the night, with occa-
sional heavy showers. Cane Creek this (Wcdncs-
dny) morning was at the Top of the banks, and
now ut 10 a. NJ. il is raining hard with pro
spccts Of frcshc. The rain appears to be
general. We have not heard from other sections
Of thc county, but hope we will escape n
frcshct al this season Of the year. With short
upland crop frcshct would be Of serious
damage in cutting off lowlamd corn. Cotton is
fine all over tho county and has now more fruit
Oh il than was made last year.
Wo learn that Miss Emma Hair, who has
been spending the summer In our town with
relatives, expects to give O few concerts ri
Ashevllc and other places, and wo bcspcal for
her, what she cmincntly deserves, the kind
assistance and attention of our people. Aliss
Hair is the accomplished daughter Of the late
Major Frank llahr, Of North Cnrolna, who,
though foreigner, joined our ranks at an early
period Of the late war, and up 10 its close rem
dcrcd most important services, in tho perform
ancc Of which he contracted the disease which
ended his life. Miss Hairs talent for music is
something very unusual in one SO young and
shc is desrous Of procuring the means for pur
suing her studies under tho great masters Of the
piano. We confess that this looks to us like
reducing the thing to TOO fine point, for it
would take an accomplished pianist TO see where
she falls short Of tho very highest rcincmcnts
Of art. The pieces she prcsch led in thc concert
during commencement week wcro rendered with
the greatest skill and proved her to be PIANIST
of raro and wonderful power. She seems 20
possess not only the taste for correct rendition
Of master pieces, but also tho physical strength,
%hch is supposed to belong alone to the other
scx w, can promise rarc treat TO all lovers
Of muee yho msy have an opportunity Of hear
ing her.
We arc again called on to record the death of
ono of our oldest citizens. Mr.. Alexander
