on mission entirely distinct from the

in which it was done also answered MS

NOTES FROM BLACk'S STATION.

Blacks STATION, S. C. February &C.
The small grain crop of this section is now
promising, and an unusually large crop was
sown. The farmers have not yet made
much preparation for spring planting, their
operations having been retarded by the
constant rains of the last few weeks; but
the season for active work is close at hand.
The fertilizer dealers are aware of the near
approach of spring, and having large sup
plies of commercial fertilizers on hand, each
one is talking up the special claims of his
goods.
Our section suffered to some extent by
the storm of last Tuesday evening, though
the damage here was slight in comparison
with that sustained by some portions of the
State. 1t would seem that the current
which passed over Anderson, Greenyille
and Spartanburg spent it's fury in this vlcin-
ity and the neighboring islands in Broad
River.
Hydrophobia among the canine race pre-
walls in this locality. Several dogs have
recently gone mad and bit other dogs. Sc
curity to society against this terrible mala-
dy is becoming a serious question. The
only difficulty in the way is to get every
person to treat the dog as nuisance and
a useless piece of property, the presence OF
which endangers all who keep them about
their houses.
1t is talked here that a lady in town
proposes to give dinner to the bald,
headed men of the place on the first OF
April. l hope this is not intended as an
April fool; for if the dinner is given, your
correspondent can pass with his marriage
certificate.
Mr.. Robert 2. Dempsey, of Greenville
and Miss Nancy Smith, of this place were
married at the Airline Hotel yesterday.
