We are needing rain now; in fact corn
is suffering, and cotton is growing right
on, showing that dry hot weather is what
1t has been needing; Most of our farm
ers are about up with their work. Their
crops are in fine fix, and if we can only
get rain from this on, the prospect for q
good cotton crop is very fattering.
Little Edith, two-year old daughter of
Rev. j. F. Anderson, died on last Thurs
day night, the 10Th inst. after only few
days illness, of dysentery. They have
another child quite sick with the same
disease. Wehope the impending affliction
may be spared them, and their little girl
may yet recover.
A meeting of several days duration has
Just closed at Ruhamah Church. The
Pastor, Mr.. Anderson, was unable to at
tend regularly on account OF the illness
Of his family, but the meeting was carried
on unabated by DR.. Barnes and Mr..
Morgan, from Spartanburg, and others.
Considerable interest was manifested by
the members of the Church, and if they
Just hold half the religion they professed
to have on hand, they will be safe for all
time to come. We hope the Getting may
prove a lasting blessing to the community
We had the pleasure on last Sunday of
hearing the venerable DR.. James G. Fur
man preach, his subject being faith. No
one can hear DR.. Furman and not be i'm
pressed that he is truly called by God to
the:place he has so long and with such
Christ-like humility filed. We trust that
his life may be spared for years to come.

driven on the Savannah Valley Railroad,
"a crowd of the city folks had gathered to-
see how the work was progressing, aud
it was soon noised around that the track.

it had to be done by the light Of torches.
Theeladies present determined at once to
decorate the first engine that reached the
depot site. They soon. gathered q lot Of
flowers and evergreens, and when the en-
gine steamed up they took possession of it
and beautifully decorated it, The track

privilege Of letting his little daughter,
Miss Nellie, and his niece, Miss Carrie
McCullv, both of whom are grand
daughters of the late Mr.. Stephen McCul-
", who, it will be remembered, threw the
first shovel of dirt when the grading was
commenced on the Road, drive the last
spike. His request. was granted and the
young ladies drove the last spike. Gen.
Humphreys then stepped forward, and in
q few impromptu remarks extended his
thanks to Mr.1Wadley and his force OF
hands for, the promptness with which they
had completed the Road. He also held
up to the view of the crowd the shovel
which had been used by Mr.. McCully in
throwing the first dirt, and said that it
had been FIVE years, five months and
ten days since ground was broken on the
Road. At the conclusion of his remarks
he introduced Mr.. Wadley, who respond
ed by saying that he did not claim ny Of
the praise to himself for the promptness
With which the Road had been completed,
/ but that his assistants. both white and
colored, were entitled to the praise, for
they had worked faithfully. Three cheers
were then given for the Savannah Valley
Railroad. The last spike that had been
driven was then drawn out and wrapped
in gold foil, placed in 9 neat box and pre-
sented 70 Miss Carrie McCully. The
hammer that was used in driving this
