Mrs Gray other Matters.

Well Mr.. Editor, as | sec some
one writing from Nashville, j give
you few dots perhaps may inter.
est some of your readers. News
is pretty scarce about now, We
are having some very dry weather.
The farmers are about done plant
ing cotton. Those who have fin
ishcd VIII have to,wait until il rains,
rs the ground is now too hard.
Wheat needs rain very badly. If
oats especially spring, don't get Il
rain in day or two they will not
get high enough to cut with Il cra-
die. If we get them will have to use
Il razor.
"M" fo, got to give you II little
history of the little town Just sprung
up near Nashville in IL few months
"Dogvillc." There was to be Il big
lawsuit last Saturday in that town
at O'Clock, but | have not heard
whether it came off or not. Judge
oliver presiding. ! don't know
what they will do about the Jury as
one half of that town is i'm Green
vile and the other half i'm Laurens.
The case is about a dog. Some of
the ncIghbors made n trade to cX-
change dogs and when they went
to swap Mr.. Martin Abcrcr0mbic
was present and SAID that the dog
had Il bad character, would suck
eggs, break i'm smoke-houSes and
suck cows. The parties went off
mad and said they would sue for
the dogs character, SO | am told. If
i write any more and hear of the
case will give you the full state
ment.

"Mr. j. a. Brooks Of this county
may be set down rs II first-class
farmer. Last year he made six
bales of cotton, averaging 447
pounds on three acres and three
quarters Of land. We don't know
his methods. hut he has kindly pro-
missed to give to the readers of the
Press and Banner letter on the
subject this week. If the farmers
would give these matters more
thought, and would write their eX-
periencc for the newspapers much
good would be done. II he that
made two bales ofgrass grow where
only one grew before was bene-
factor, how much greater benefac-
tor Is he who teaches us how to
make two bales of cotton grow
where only half bale grew before"

SOLDIERS IN SESSION.
INTERESTING MEETING OF THE
SURVIVORS ASSOCIATION.
gantzation at Work.-Ite-Unions the
Order OF tho Day.

Owing to the pressing demands
OF the farm upon the farmers, the
ranks OF the Survivors Association
which met on Thursday last were
somewhat reduced; but those who
attended were earnest and enthusi-
astic i'm their efforts to build up the
Association.
Col. Il, w. Ball, President, called
the meeting to order, and after the
usual routine work, the Association
proceeded to the election of officers,
which resulted in reelection Of
all the old oflicers.
Capt. ID. p. GOggans stated that
having been Secretary since tho
organization of the Association, he
begged his comrades to lgivo this
honor to some other member. Capt.
McClntock and Col. Tranyham
were each pressed for the place but
declined. The honor of tho office
of Secretary and Treasurer was
given to County Treasurer Cope
land.
The president gave neat &C
acknowledgement Of the honor confer
red in being called repeatedly to
preside. He considered this in
fact, the highest honor ever confer
red upon him in the course Of COM
paratively long life. He then ur-
ged the Importance of the AssOcia-
ton. In view of the recent pension
Act, it is our businass and the bust
ness Of similar organizations all
over the State to see that this Act
is faithfully administered, and that
only the deserving soldiers and
their widows receive the money.
The speaker said he believed the
day would come when the North.
South and every section OF our
broad land would consider the war
which once seemed q national ca
lamity, national blessing. In the
great French Revolution which
cost the lives OF thousands of men,
women and children, at the guilo-
tine, we have received, and tho
world has shared inestimable ben
Gifts. And later, but for the SAN
gulnc revolution in our own coun.
try, we would be under the domain
of monarchy, and this glorious
SO too, it is the work of this Asso-

pass for history. Let us foster and
encourage patriotism and repel the
idea that Southern men were rebels
and traitors.
We regret that TIE ADVERTISER
is not able to furnish an accurate
report of this patriotic address,
which being extemporaneous is
impossible.
A resolution was passed request
ing the secretary to notify all mem
bers who have neglected to pay
their annsal dues.

as follows, to May 9th, 1888.

There arc three distinct breeds Of polled
or hornlcss cattle-the Galloways. polled
Angus or Aberdeen and the rcd polled.
The Galloway Is pure black. with long,
shaggy coat. The polled Angus are black,
with white markings on the belly. gen.
orally around the udder. They are shorter
haired than the Galloways and lighter
boned Both those breeds are OF Scotch
origin The red polled are deep red IN
color. originated In the counties Of Nor
folk and Suffolk. England. and resemble
the Devon. except that they are hornlesa.
One cannot be certain, says Michigan
Farmer. Of having grades from these
breeds come hornless except by using Q

have enough spongulicks to pay

at the train go by with Sam Jones
riding in the engine with the fire
man. We could not help thinking
how hard 1T was to think and even
to kno v that we could not he allow

SpongulickS, when we claim IN in

to build it, and we are still helping
every fa!l to keep it up. Every
time John Copeland comes around
i'm the fall We give him something
for this Grcenvillc II laGrenS rail
road. Expect to keep on doing so,
and then to think the railroad au-
thoritics would not let us even
take one ride without the spongu-
licks. Mr.. Editor am opposed to
building railroads this way. am
opposed to giving man something
every time in the fal. Of the year,
that he sends his collector around
and expects to still keep giving the
railroad something every year and
to know that they are not even GO
