Social Etiquette.

There are number of things that
the most fashionable and well-bred peo-
pie now eat at the dinner table with
their fingers, and the Chicago Herald
enumerates them as follows:
Bread, toast and all tarts and small
cakes.
Olives, to which fork should never
be applied.
Asparagus, whether hot or could, when
served whole, as it should be.
Lettuce, which should be dipped in
the dressing, or in little salt.
Celery, which may properly be placed
on the tablecloth beside the plate.
Fruit of all kinds, except melons and
preserves, which are eaten with spoon.
Cheese, which is almost invariably
eaten with the fingers by the most par
ticular people.
Strawberries, when served with the
stems, as they usually are in the most
elegant houses.
Even the leg or other small piece OF a
bird is taken in the fingers at fashion
able dinners, and at most of the lunch
cons ladies pick small pieces of chicken
without using fork.

ward the sending out of Rev. J. G. C.

is natiYe of Anderson County, and is
the eldest son Of Mr.. Larkin Newton, Of
Garvin Township. He left this section
about seventeen years ago, and went to
Frankfort, KY, where he attended college
until he graduated. He then occupied q
professorship in the Millersburg (Ry.,
college for some time, after which he at.
tended Johns Hopkins University for
three years. For the last two years he
has been stationed at Warrenton, Va. The
Warrenton Nrginian. in speaking of Mr..
Newton, says: "Rev. ]. G. G. Newton will
preach his farewell sermon in the Meth
odst Church of this place on next Sun
day night. Mr.. Newton is one of the
most earnest workers in the ministry OF
any denomination we ever met, and at
the same time one of the most quiet and
unobtrusive.- This circuit has been singu-
larly fortunate in getting ministers OF
ability and exalted character, but they
have had none superior to Mr.. Newton,
whose genial presence will be missed by
many not members of his congregation.
Mr.. Newton goes as Missionary to
Japan" Mr.. Newton will arrive at his
old home in this county in few days, and
will spend month or more with his
parents and other relatives prior 10 his
departure to his distant field Of labor.

1t was with great effort that Mr.. j. J..

house.

away with fire in it. No damage scarcely
was done, it having been discovered be-
fore it gained much headway.

partment was again called out in response
to an alarm caused by the house in which
Jack Harris, colored, resides, on McDuffie

guished before much damage was dono.

Neal,. Creek Items,

Til ere are, fortunately, no mad dogs, cat
amounts or other wild animal in this
neighborhood at present, consequently
news is scarce.
Old folks say they think most of the
peaches are killed, but we find some
consolation in the old adage that bad
beginning makes good end.
Many farmers of this community, who
formerly used commercial fertilizers alto
gether, have large pens of compost this
season that have been made at little
expense, and will prove great money
saver in the fall.
The continual rainy weather keeps farm
work behind, but good use is made OF oil
farming weather.
The email grain crops, though quite
small yet, are looking very well for this
season.
Several farmers of this section are still
keeping their cotton. One we noticed has
forty or fifty bales.
The early gardeners are uneasy, for fear
some of their work has been in vain
owing to the cold weather

We are having some genuine March
weather just now.
The small-grain crops are looking very
sorry for this season Of the year.
The farmers are making long strides
toward preparing their lands for planting.
Mad dogs are quite numerous in this
section.
This section was visited one night last
week with terrific wind and rain storm,
but no serious damage was done except to
fencing and trees.
Mr.. j. A. Hatcher, who has been quite
sick with pneumonia, has convalesed so as
to be out again.
We think this community can boast OF
as few bachelors as any community in the
county.
The roads have not been worked in this
section yet. We think the time is at hand
when they should be worked.
We understand that efforts are being
made to have the iron bridge rebuilt at
Bruce's Ford.
The Sunday School at Cedar Grove was

fashionable in this community.

CuFFEE CREEK, 8. G.


March oath, 1883.
Alr. Editor : It is not worth while for me
to tell you that Thursd ay; 22nd, was fear
full day. Such wind storm with cold,
never was experienced, or not often in o
lifetime. It resulted in the burning of a
tenant house on my place, a double house,
occupied by two white families, the
McAbees. 1t caught in the roof from 8
spark Of the chimney, 1t is supposed, and
the current of wind was such that in
twenty minutes the building was COM
pletely enveloped in flames which con-
sumed almost everything they had, saving
only two or three feather beds. The bed
clothing and family supplies with all their
household things, and all their clothing,
except the clothes they were wearing,
were lost. The little children were shiver-
ing with cold, and had no house to protect
them from the fearful blast. The neigh
bors have been very kind. On Friday
and to-day, Saturday evening, house has
been raised and boards split, and 1T is
read y for covering, and the families will
again have a shelter.

A Trip into the Country.

Last Saturday afternoon, in company
with Judge w. F. Cox, We left the city
and went up to the home of our young
friend, Whit W. Smith, who resides
about twelve miles north of the city, in
Hopewell Township. Mr.. Smith had ex-
tended an invitation to the Oakland
Reading Club to meet at his home that
evening, and at the same time had invited
the members, especially the ladies, to come
early in the morning and participate in an
old-fashioned quilting party. We reached
our destination before sunset, and found
large party of young ladies and gentle
men gathered there. The young ladies,
with few of the young men, had been
there oil day, and they were just finishing
up two handsome quilts. After hearing
what pleasant day had been spent and
what sumptuous dinner had been spread,
we regretted that we had not come early in
the morning. We did not pine over the
latter, for we knew when supper was
announced we would make up for our
absence, and 80 We did.
The Club was called4to order about 8
O'Clock, and by this time the crowd had
increased considerably. After the usual
opening exercises, Mr.. A. M. Neal, Jr.,
recited "Plunkett in Politics." He vas
followed by Miss Minnie Anderson, who
recited, in very impressive manner,
''The Ride of Jennie McNeal." The Club
was then favored with recitation Of
Somebody's Mother" by Miss Nena
Breazeale, little girl, who was present as
visitor from the Lebanon Literary Club.
Miss May Neal next recited "Hope 'Tri-
umphant in Death" Between each reci-
tation the assembly was favored with
some fine music on the violin by DR.. J. g.
Duckworth. After the adjournment of the
Club, the rest of the evening was spent in
asocial way. Everybody seemed to be in
their best humor, and the evening
throughout was highly enjoyed. Mr..
Smith and his mother were very attentive
to the guests, and left nothing undone
that would tend to increase the pleasures
of the evening.
Mr.. Smith certainly has very fine
plantation. 1t was formerly the home of
his grand parents. The house is situated
on high hill, at the foot of which runs q
creek, and is surrounded by several hills,
afording a most picturesque view. He
purchased the place a few years ago, and
has paid for it by his own labor. He has
stocked it with all the latest improved
agricultural implements, and everything
around him indicates an intelligent, thrifty
and industrious farmer. He has some
very fine bottom lands, but they are too
low to plant corn in, and for several years
past he has raised a very large and fine
crop of rice on them. This rice he ships to
Charleston, and gets good price for it.
He says the cultivation is very easy, and
that it is profitable crop.
All that friend Whit needs to complete
his happiness, is good, clever wife, and
any girl would do we'll to catch him.
We returned home Sunday, and are
thoroughly convinced that the best recrea-
tion an over-worked newspaper man can
take is trip into the country.
