s & The day of fodder pullfng for 1889 is
about numbered with the things that
were, but almost daily you can see the
faithful old aarkey trudging along with
his baskets, which are in demand for the
harvesting Of the cotton crop, which is
fast being ushersd in.
&. Without any feelings Of having been
trespassed upon by our friend "Burke,"
will simply state for-his benefit that our
neighbor, lfr. Shaw, after having cut at
least one fourth of the tops for feed, has
gathered from his single acre of corn Eve
hundred and eighty bundles Of good fod.
der, and also that the ears ef corn now
hanging on! the stalks Of said acre from
actual count number si1ty-fye hundred.
B Miss Mamie Davis spent last week with,
the family OF Mr.. Charlie Simpson. Some
Of: the Savannah Township girls, If they
visit the Corner often, might 6nd it in
crmbent OIL them to take up there abode
.hereabouts. -. -.
& Miss Lula Sherard is now off on visit
Of several weeks to friends and relations
at Greenwood and Ninety-Six. g
S Our friend, .Mr. James Wanslow, spent a
day or two with the family Of Mr.. Simp.
SON last week. :.
Several bales Of cotton have been sold
at Cooks. The first was sold to Cook &
Co. by Mr.. Bsylis MoConnell for eleven
cents. he was followed soon afterwards
by Mr.. H. 3. Hall, the Primus Jones rof
the Corner, but the price had suddenly
declined, and he realized only nine and
one.eighth onShis bale. 1t will probably
be justice to state that Mr.. Mcconnell
resides In Savannah Township.
Is Mr.. franklin Gilbert and wife, from
.Abbeville, have been visiting at ous
shonse the past week. ..sss
i The syrup business ls now in full blast.
Messrs. Stewart. and Brown have been in
the manufacture for some time, and seem
to be getting about all they can do, and q
supply Of long sweaening bless many Of our
!neighbors homes. The young ladies
ought to- treat Bob Stewart very kindly
for he is prepared, and. alEays srilling, to
give them "a ride in his nice new buggy,
and treat them to lasses candy. -. -
Little Clayton, son Of Mr.. j. A. sWiles,
was badly mapgled in the saw mill of MIR.
3SWm. McGee q few days ago. Boyish
risk III starting the mill in the absence of
the proprietor was the cause. He was
attended BY DR.. Henry Of Lowndesville,
and at last accounts was doing as well as
GOULD be hoped.
sis Our farmers, generally claim that they
viii use the cotton covering, regardless Jef
the low price ofjute bagging; when the
cotton fails they will take anything else
they can procure. There seems to be a
disposition to let ''old man J,te'' severely
alone. This seems to be a better way of
managing the old man than giving him a
sound, old-fashioned thrashing.
s. Dr.. A. j.. speer, Of Lowndesville, gave
us few visits recently. The Doctor is a
fine physician and has q very extensive
practice. One thing more we are able. to
say Of him; he can very soon impress
you with the truth Of the passage SIT is
more blessed TO give than to receive, par
;ticular1y in the giving Of medicine and
advice. -
It becomes our duty to announce this
week the death Of one OF our Oldest citi-.
zens, Capt. =. Burress. He had climbed
mp very near the nineties. His death,
though vary. sudden, was not altogether
unexpected, ,.sinoe his trouble for several
weeks past had been Of such nature that
1t was liable to take him off at any mo-
ment. he leaves wife and five married
children to mourn his departure. He
farmed the greater part of his life, and 1t
was g great pride with the old man TO-
boast OF never having bought q bushel Of
corn or pound Of bacon. His remains
were placed to rest in Generostee cemetery
;on. the 18th inst, the day following his
death, by the side of his first wife, he hav-
ing been twice married. .:.ss
