BESSIE May lived on the brow of a hill,
Just within sight Of a noisy mill;
The sun thai blest her with its rays
shone on through the miiler's dusty ways;
And the birds that carrolled the whole day
through
For Bessie's sake cheered the miller, too.
Bessie was up and down to the Spring
Ere the robin had time to dip his wing; 4.
she laid the table with a cloth of snow,
She placed the chairs in agoodly row;
BUT always left hers in front of the pane
In sight Of the mill at the foot of the lane.
Bessie worked all the day. but she listened
stil
For the clang and whir of the busy mill;
And now" she said, "the grain falleth IL.
As bright AS the gold the miller viii win.
And now 1t Is robbed of its gold" she said.
WHO will mould the loaf for the miller.
bread?"
But Eessie. with all her toll and care.
Found time TO braid her dark brown hair,
Found time to tie it with a snood Of blue,
Found time. ere heavily fell the dew,
To walk with the miller who owned the mill
Away from her home on the brow of the hill.
And the miller showed the 1T tile square, :
Cut right in the side of the mill; just where.
When he watched the grain as il softly fell.
lie could watch the maiden he flowed so we'll.
But ne'cr spoke of the tell-ta.e pane
In sight of the mill at tie end OF the lane.
And the miller. while walking by Dessic's
side. ~
Found time to ask her to be his bride;
And that was why on her hand one siay ~
A shining circlet found its way.
do you ask how 1t happened SO.
Why l was Bessie; that's how l know

NOTES FROM WHITAKER'S.

WH1rAKER's, S. c., August 26.-Notwith-
standing the dull times consequent to the
drought, our town seems to be thriving.
The sound of the saw and hammer is heard
from morning until night There are now
four new residences going up here. We now
have eight stores, all doing satisfactory, if
not prosperous, business. There would be
more building here, and, in fact, business of
every kind would be much better, but for the
discouraging effects of the dry summer, which
reminds me more forcibly Of the memorable
summer of 1S45 than any subsequent to that
date.
The discouraging condition of the crops
impelled the citizens of the surrounding coun.
try to hold public meeting here on the 10th
instant, the proceedings of which l presume
have been furnished the ENQUIRER for publ
cation, at which it was resolved to petition the
guano dealers to make some reduction from
debts contracted for fertilizers, as, on account
of the drought, crops were not benefited by
their use. H. K. X.

For the Yorkville Enquirer.
THE CROPS AND FERTILIZERS.

WH1rAKER's, S. c., August 20.-At a
meeting held this day, at this place, composed
of farmers of York county, S. c., and Cleve-
land county, N. c., w. M. Harry was chosen
chairman, and NJ. M. Tate requested to act
as secretary.
The chairman having explained the OBJ
ject of the meeting to be reduction in the
price of fertilizers used, in consequence of the
continued drought that prevailed in our en-
tire section of country, the present season,
then proceeded, with other prominent far
mers, to ascertain from each farmer attending
the large meeting, the quantity Of cotton and
corn he would, in his judgment, raise the
present year.
The following figures were the result of the
investigation Of cotton ! Of crop, and of
corn Of crop.
The meeting was largely attended and com.
posed of farmers from every section OF our
community.
The motion being put as to reduction,
it was unanimously voted that the several
guano companies and manufacturers be re-
quested to reduce guano bills one-half, as>on
account of the present distressing state of
things it would be impossible for the farmers
to pay more than onehaf and be enabled
to make crop the ensuing year, and peti'
tion will be sent each company, through
their agents at this place and vicinity, to that
effect.
1t vas moved that copy of these proceed
ings be sent to the YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER,
Charlotte Observer and Shelby aurora, with
a request that they publish the same.
On motion, the meeting then adjourned.
