PROSPERITY LETTER.
rs. A. H. Blease is quite sick.

Mrs. A. H. Blease is quite sick.
J.Marshall Sheely, of Lexington, was
in town yesterday.
Mr.. Foster Slawsop, of New Market,
is visiting our town for short while.
MIR. J. H. Seahorn, of cambridge,
Tenn, will be here about the 2lst inst.
with a lot Of fne hogs.
Mr.. and Mrs. George H. Taylor, who
formerl,,, lived near here, hut now near
Greenwood. are on a visit to their cid
friends and kindred.
Things were made lively at the rooms
ofthe Y. :. C.. A last Thursday nigh.
A number of working committees W e
appointed fer seve: al different objects.
Among other things, the room will be
opened each night ofthe week Thanks
giving Day wi: be observed: and we
think all OF me sto"es will be closed.
Tae old papers and magazines We're auc-
toned off, and brought neat liit.e
sum. In word the association has
again put itselfin good working order.
The rainy, disagreeable weathe' last
week, prevented many Of our people.
especially ladies, from attending The
Sta Fai: add reckon it was about as
wei. Until the railroad authorit e3 WI.
prevent drunken men andnegioes from
mingIing among the laGies it will be
much better for them to- remain at
home. We are toId that the actions Of
some young men from Laurens, on the
Laulens train on Thursday night was
disoraceful in the extreme. Not only
did they freely indulge in profane Ian
guage. but were guilty Of the most fou5,
filthy and obscene utterances and songs
that ever fell iIom mortal lips, and this
10 the presence ofladies. These beings
in human form were just as foul and
mean as the devil would have them be.
At Prosperity, as the train moved off,
some of the party hurled a lot Of stone
coal among the bystanders, striking a
number of citizens, and infiic. ing a
painful wound il the face Of old Nj.
Fischesser. The question is what is
the remedy? If the canductor, who is
armed with powers, to!erates or is uns-
BILE to prevent such outrageous conduct
where is the remedy? We confess that
we do not know? It does seem, how
ever, that if such characters, who act
as if they never had mother or sis.ei,
are determined to have a hell wherever
they go, they should be locked from la
dies and decent people that they might
have hell all 10 themselves. This
seems to be a growing evil, and unless
something is done to checkmate it, it
will sooa be that our annual Stale fairs
will not be so we'll attended by the la
dies and decent people. We are glad to
know, however, that there are only
few o. such roughs, and they are indig-
enous 10 but few sections of the
country. These few should be made 10
behave while in the presence o. ladies
at least, and not TO shock eve'y sense
of rropriety by profanity, vulgarity and
obsenity.
The farmers are busy sowing wheat
when not too wet. A large quantity
of oais has been, and is still being
sown, and that which Was sown early
is looking beautifully. The oat op
will be great factor III making he
next crop Of cora and cotton.
Our co, on market for the last week
has been little strong at prices fro, 9
to 81 Cts, with sales of $50 bales. Total
number 70 date 400.
Nj. and Mrs. J. A. Marks, of Wiz
gola, the p, .ea:s Of ou: beloved pas
Tor, Rev. G. A. Marks. are here on a
visit and WI probably remain here
during the win;er. This gives us four
Vi:g:n:ans who will spend the w:ater
ia our genial town. We have got he
best town apd the best people, (some Of
them) I reckon in the world. We think
50 at least.
