RIDGE ROAD AND CANNON'S CREEK.
Cotton is opening very slowly. Some
few farmers have commenced picking.
The fact of last Monday being sale
day had skipped my memory until /
noticed some of our representatives Of
the boneyard passing along very early
in the morning.
A big time is anticipated at New
berry to-day. The farmers from this
section will turn out in full force to
hear the Hon. Ben. Terrell, of Texas,
make his address in the interest of the
Alliance. We know a perfect treat is
in store for all who may have tie
privilege Of hearing him. :
Mr.. Editor, in giving the names of
the officers elected at the Gallman
Academy Alliance, in my last letter,
by a neglect Of the compositor, or my
self, I won't be sure which, the name
of R. It. Bobb, Sergeant at Arms, was
left out. Ifthe neglect was on my part,
beg pardon.
Road working was the order of the
day last week. With a few exceptions
the roads have all been worked and put,
in very good travelling condition. Tell
our friend Perry to come around and
see what's lacking. If we are to have
such strict road law, let us carry it
out.
Another of our young men has
obeyed that part of Gods Word that
says it is not good for man tolive alone.
On Sunday, the 18th ult., in Aiken
County, at the resideuee of the brides
uncle, Mr.. Absalom Heron, Mr.. J.
Willie Stone, of Newberry County, and
Miss Fannie Hall, of Aiken County,
were pronounced one flesh.
Well, Mr.. Editor, it seems that the

9Th inst, there will be school exhibi-
ton and picnic at Mt. Tabor High
School, and on the Friday following,
the 18th inst, there viii be school ex-
hibition and picnic at Jolly Street

of making the dinner kind of mix
turc, some barbecue along with the

IN MC. laDOr SecClOn.
On Sunday last attended preaching
at my old mother church, st. Paurs.
The day was pleasant, the congrega-
ton large, and the sermon most ex-
celient one. We are glad to notice that
the old building is undergoing quite an
improvement. Some few years ago the
congregation built a vestibule, and now
they are building recess. This beau
titles the old building very much, and
after this if the paint brush is applied
it will no longer look like old st. Pauls
chfrch. Immediately after service
was over the election for six elders
came off and resulted as follows: Maj.
Jacob Epting, Jno. D. Shealy, J. A. c.
Kibler, w. S. Seybt, T. J. Hayes, J. H.
Livingston. On the next preaching
day there will be an election for six
deacons.
On our way home We took look in
the Jolly Street Sunday-school. :
am pleased to note that our friend J.
J. Kinard has a hourishing Sabbath
school at this place. They usually have
large attendance; more than can
possibly be accommodated inside. the
school building, and there seems to be
more interest manifested in the school
now than ever before.
The only two difficulties in the way
Of the Sunday-school, at this and all
otLer schools that 1 have visited, is
first: the Importance of good behavior;
second, the necessity of more interest
among our older persons. will offer
some thoughts upon this same subject
| in the future. T. J. w.
