PAcoLEr, Sept. 2 III has been SO long
since Pacolet has been heard from in the
columns Of the TINEs. md 20 many things
have happened, Aait5s S1afdiy know where
to begin, Sbut / shall eSu6ns myself TO events
Of recent occurrence. ~
This is a. very duh time Of the year, but
extensive preparations are being made here
for the Fall trade, ,sand an immense boom is
expected in the near future.
The Alliance men arc putting up a COM
modious building on the corner of Railroad
and Haynes streets, to be used as q ware
house and hall. The Alliance is strong Mt
this point, and consists Of some of the most
intelligent and progressive farmers of the
community.
Mr.. W. F. Bryants new store and re-
modelled residence on Railroad Street are
completed and add greatly to the attractive
appearance of the principal street of the
town.
What we need here is Livery Stable A
gentleman Of some experience in that line
was here not long ago looking around, and
decided that it would be a good point for the
business. IL he locates here for that pur-
pose he will also keep a small hotel, and run
hack line to Glenn Springs.
roSHg Some Of our meESf---'-'-'' lin -'aaro for the
Mr.. D. b. Wood Manager of the pacolet
Manufacturing Company's store, leaves for
New York and other Northern points next
Thursday. Mr.. Wood entered the Com
| pany's store about four years ago in the ca
| pacity Of Clerk, and by his sterling integrity,
| untiring energy and close attention to bust
uess, has worked his why up to the position
| of trust which he now fills in the most
satisfactory manner
A very sad accident occurred between this
phce and Rich Hill on last Thursday, re-
sulting in the death of Mr.. J. d. Kirby, a
highly esteemed citizen of this place. While
going down steep hill in wagon, the
wheel struck n rock and he was thrown for
ward out of the vehicle The mules became
frightened, and before they could be stopped,
the wheels passed over his body. He was
| VI OHCc tuhch w TiCh I'LL, anu HeulCul ulu
summoned, but he died in short while.
Mr.. Kirby had hosts of friends who sympa-
thize deeply with tho berehved family.
The funeral was preached by Rev. J. d.
Is alley Mt the Baptist Church Saturday, and
he was buried with Masonic honors.
Crops are not looking quite as well as they
did some time ago, and little rain would
| be beneficial.
That was an excellent article in the ALI
| ance column of the last TINES, over the
signature Of 81" in regard to what farm
| ers should read. / am not farmer, but
have often thought that our farmers, as a
rule, pay too little attention to this matter.
In my humble judgment this country
will prosper wherever farming is CON
Quoted on n smaller scale and scientific
| principles. Our yonng farmers should cdu-
cate themselves for the business Of farming.
They should be practical chemists. If un-
able to procure n collegiate education, they
should endeavor to supply the deficiency by
Judicious home reading. AS suggested by
| ~, the newspapers and magazines are
practical educators, and amply repay the
time devoted to :he;T reading. I once knew
| man who never went to school day in
his life, but he was one Of the best informed
men on the history, politics and financial
condition Of our .conntrSehsiif- ,ssyDSair. too,
Much can be accomplished 1t by home reading,
and n strict avoidance of the sentimental
trash of which the young people of this age,
as q rule, are too fond.
\ brass band mas been organized at Truch
| Shoals, and as there is considerable musical
talent in the place it will doubtless be quite
| a success.
An affair Of honor was on the tapis here a
short time ago, but nothing has been heard
of it lately. Had it occurred, it is likely
| that II wonld have taken place by dim moon
light, and been conducted in strict accord
