8 rather worse the past lew days.
Elisha Cover and w. S. Aoer-
lathy sold to Jesse Neil :, 400 bush
Els of corn of their own raising and
IRE putting it on cars at Buford's.
We notice all the papers herald
With trumpets the advent of a
northern man in their midst as a
big acquisition. l suppose this is
right, but they often prove a fail
IRE audsget away with some unsus-
Decting victim. We too hail them
when they go to work and show
themselves worthy and capable We
have such an one now in our midst.
Reid Powell, a young mechanic
from Philadelphia, came here in
August. He quietly went to work
and took a contract and put up
fine barn 72x56 for w. c. Carter
and has about completed a mon
ster barn on the Spofford place that
is 144 by 70 feet and is built with
elaborate design. Besides he has
put up several other extensive
buildings on the Spoford place, and
we learn he has more than one 9TH
er big barn under contract. We
regard such men as an acquisition
and think they should be COM
mended.
Mr.. J. B. Brown Tate and
Miss Matte Hyde of Triune, Will
hanson county, were married last
Wednesday at the brides ather's.
They came down on the 10 O'Clock
train Wednesday night and they
have taken rooms at Mr.. G.. S
Tate's till Christmas, when he will
move to his home at Carriers creek.
Brown come among US four years
ago and by his upright, gentleman
ly, generous, whole-souled conduct
has made ardent friends of us all.
He is in every way worthy the fair
young bride he has married. The
young men, to show their appreci-
alton of their worthy friend, gave
the bride and groom a hop at the
Smith hall Friday night. The sup
per was an elegant affair. The in
vited guests were worthy represen-
tatives from Pulaski, Bufords' Co
lumbia and Carriers creek, and the
gallsntry and beauty for which
Lynnville is famed. The Colum-
bia string band discoursed sweet
music for the occasion,

Wrote up another hop! Prognosti-
Gator will hop me, 1 fear, again.
Preaching next Sunday in the
Presbyterian church by Rev. Mr..
Frierson.
Our new Methodist minister,
Brother Seay, who is called the
church builder, has gone to work
true to his name and has on foot a
movement here. The lot is secured
out on the out skirts of town to-
ward old Lynnville, whose church
will take membership with this
church. 1t is also thought TO unite
with these two churches the church
at Antioch, thus forming a very
strQng church, and build a large,
commodious house.
One other thing this commu-
nifty is sadly in need of is a cemete-
ry. It is one Of the saddest com
mentaries on our civilization, that
our dead-those who were the life
and light Of our home ciroles--our
bosom friends, are buried in out-of-
the-way places as if we wished to
neglect and forget them. The ne
groes here maze pQ grove yard OF
their own and they are filing up
our church and family grave yards
where allowed, and they are allowed
with few exceptions, often burying
beside the parent or child OF our
best citizens. | think it Is a shame
they do not have a cemetery of
their OWn, Then | think it is
worse that we do not haye 2 pub
lie cemetery laid off and kept in or
der and repair by sexton. Now
that this new church is being agi-
tated / think in connection we
should sscure q cemetery ground
for town and country. Will not
some one else take the initia-
tory steps necessary All in the
wide world needed is to take hold of
this subject, No one unless he be
a heather will deny thaE cgr dead
are neglected. ! am sure the needed
pecupiary means could be raised
without much effort. We are eau
toned by the proverb to speak no
i'll of the dead, and pari pdssN, we
should not neglect them. Show me
the man who loses memory of his
mother, and / will show you a man
instinct with brutishpess. The ten
derest feelings an emotions that can
find Judgment in the human heart
prompt us to the work ! suggest,
and to neglect it longer after the
necessity for it has become so pat
ent as TO require public mention
will reflect greatly upon us. Lynn
vile has peYer yet rested under a
stigma or neglected a dn+y.
Mrs. n. A. Smith had a severe
attack of bilious collie Thursday.
Ter friends feared it would prove
atal. DR.. II. I. Campbell was
,alled in and relieved her and she is
low convaie scing.
1t has been the wonder of all |
strangers and many of us why there
las never been a bridge built across
he creek on the south side of town.
t is always full in winter and
prlpg so that it is dangerous for
aides to CROSS it-often past ford
ng-and it is found next to i'm
ossible to keep foot way, The
ne there now is considered unsafe.
he 18th district, the largest in the
ounty, has never asked a bridge
efore since the organization of the
ounty. It is estimated that ST. 200
r 81, 500 will pay for it. we hope
ne court will make the necessary |
ppropriation at the January term.
! cannot afford to ignore our
aims upon the public fund when
icy remember that we are its larg
It contributors and most infrequent
