The clouds have dispersed, aud the sun
shines once more upon us. Yes, indeed,
are we glad to See him; with eager eyes
have many been looking for him. Nearly
every one was looking for cyclone
from Saturday evening until Monday
morning, and would hardly give it up un-
til the wind rose and drove the clouds
away. Our people know something about
such things, for we have had two Of them
in our immediate neighborhood within the
last four or five years, hence their fears.
Expect we dread them as much as the
Charleston people do earthquakes. Not
withstanding their dreadfulness, it is the
prandest sight our eyes have ever seen !;
vet we do not care to have the wonderful
vision thrown before us again, unless we
were sure it would not hurt us, and that
would take all the coaxing powers Of the
whole universe to get us into that notion,
so we are satisfied with our part, and are
willing for them to stay on the ocean,
where there are no houses or people to tear
down or hurt.
The rains were very heavy here-the
creeks are very full. Good time to kill
rabbits, as they are all run out Of the
swamps, and can be found sitting in open
places, Some four or five of US instituted

luck We found upon one. half acre of open
ground seven. We killed about forty and
q few birds. They are becoming very nu-
merous and detrimental to our section.
We will have to go back to hounds.

Mr.. EDITOR: Please give us space in
your columns to give the true statement IN
regard to the Church and the organized
society, which is better known as the
Farmers Alliance. We will state Just here
that the so.called Alliance had its first
meeting at Hollands Store, where it is
said to have been organized with q full set
Of officers. They got tired of their loca'
ton there, aud met for some time at Shiloh
Church. This was done without leave OF
license. The majority of the Church, as
we'll as Mr.. "Burke," kteked, and the mid
night muddy feet fed. Mr.. "Member," we
would like to ask your honor few ques-
tiona. lst. When you meet at Ruhamah
as you stated, do you meet in the Church
or in the school house? End. We believe
you also stated that the West Savannah
Alliance was in fourishing condition
Your honor, why is it some of the mem.
bers are going to move to Mountain Creek
We can't agree with you in saying it is in
fonrishing condition, nor did you ever
see in the Hollands Store Items that i
was organized at Shiloh-neither was II
organized with full set of officers.

In life's journey the sublime and ridic.
ulous often meet. On recent sunday
afternoon neighbor K received o visit
from the pastor of the church to which he
belongs, and also q near neighbor dropped
in, accompanied by his two dogs. Neigh
Dor K has two dogs also, and when
the four get together, it is considered
rather risky to try to pass unless some one
is detailed as guard. While they lthe peo-
pie not the dogs) were engaged In devo..
tional exercises, another neighbor, the first
letter of whose name is "Jim," made his
appearance and was duly set upon by the
dogs, which somewhat disturbed Mr. x
in his devotions. He hated to get up and
leave while prayer was going on, and he
also was very anxions to 90 to "Jlm's,'
rescue. Finally the prayers ended and
the dogs stopped, but Mr.. Ks says that
PRAYER did not do him any good, for all he
could hear was "Jim'sn p!eadings for help
and the dogs barking.
I am reminded of another incident re-
lated to young preacher who was serving
his first Circuit. This young preacher
called at the house Of one Of the members
of his Church, and the family were all
absent but the lady of the house. This
Young preacher, with .commendable zeal,
proposed to have prayers before he lett,
and as his time was short he was not long
in getting to praying, but this good sister
had left the kitchen to welcome the
preacher, and had left things there in such
shape as to require her to be back in a
shorrt0time. So when they got down to
praying and the preachers back Was
turned she quietly. slipped away to the
kitchen and arranged matters somewhat
aud then slipped back and regained deyo-
tional attitude. But the preacher took in
the situation and did not stay much longer.
We are having considerable wet
SPELL" Rain has been falling, more or
less, continuously since last Thursday
afternoon. Sunday morning about .
o'clock very heavy rain storm, accom-
panied with heavy thunder and lightning,
passed through this section. Hail also fell,
but not enough to do any material damage.
The stones ranged in size from buckshot
up to partridge egg. Farming lands are
iderably washed, Monday morning
another heavy rain passed over here,
which put most of the creeks out of their
banks.
The warm spell of last week caused the
local BARRIERS to get good deal of hair cut
ting to do. A cold snap would be felt.

The Sunday school at this place is in
good working order at present.
Mr.. Aaron Creamer Is, at present, very
i'll, but we learned recently that he was
improving little.
The snow did not stay on tho ground
long enough to do the wheat much good.
It was not deep, and as the ground was
dry it melted away in little while.
Some of the farmers are putting in
guano, and others are preparing to begin
in few days. This is some earlier than
the first that was put in last year in this
neighborhood, but we don't want to be
behind and are not going to. Now, We
all should remember as We start from the
sowing of the seeds to the harvest that
good tillage is the best weapon with
which the farmer can fight hard times
and gain success.
We might call it an apoident which oc-

and not fifty miles away from here, who
sat and told bis best girl the secrets of his

ears. By and by the old clock struck

any intention to impeach the veraclty or
