CONFLUENCE ITEMS.

CONFLUENCE ITEMS.
The school board last week elected Prof
c. f. Liyengood for the first, and b. X. Pull
len for the intermediate school, the primary
being yet unsupplied,
The early frosts that haYe done SO much
damage 10 the unmatured crops in some
other sections Of the county, have not yet
visited this immediate. locality. Ifyou want
your tomatoes and corn to get ripe, plant
in the locality of Confluence.
Those who destroyed their tomato vines
because the first tomatoes did not mature
feel little bad just now, since the secopd
setting is fine crop and will mature in this
climate, unless Jack frost should see fit 10
give us an unusually early call.
The laws regulating the killing of game
does not amount to much to those upon
whose lands the game is fed. Ifthey wish
to reap the advantage of the game raised in
the mountains they must kill it before the
lawful season, or sportsmen from different
sections of the county will flock in as thick
as the iocusts Of Egypt and gather the crop
in a few days.

being very hard to beat, considering its OPP
portunities. and promises, in the near fu-
ture, to become one of the best bands in the
county.
As we have never had any picnic or any
entertainment in our community, our young
people resolved TO have something Of the
kind, so they fell to work and erected a
house some seventy feet long. in which they
intend to hold a literary entertainment on
or about the thirteenth of October. Judging
from the building and the amount of prepa-
ration being made, We bespeak for them sue
