Prom the Fountain 81 Hsslth.

WEST SPBIsos, April 2s.--Bogansville,
though fer long time silent, is by NO,
means the least among her sister townships;
for she is to-day developing from her In
exhaustible metallic resources moro actual
cash thnn ell the other portions Of the en-
tire county. She is, doubtless, the grand
California Of the Eastern country, and her
resources will continue coextensiye with
time ITSELF Outside Of her mineral weslth
she is also formidable competitor with
her agricultural compeers.
The farmers are pretty well up with their
work, and the refreshing showers Of heaven
are now giving promise Of glorious har-
vest in the future. Labor overcomes oil
difficulties, surmounts all obstacles, and,
like Faith, removes mountains. Our farm.
srs are now bending 10 the oars, and there
seems to be generous rivalry for the
championship Of agricultural and horticul-
tural excellence. Garden sass is now abun-
dant, and West Springs water is good
stimulus for it's consumption.
The West Springs water is certainly .
fountain teeming with health-producing
properties giving tone to the buoyant spirits
Of the young, and invigoratiug the aged
with youthful emotions. The celebrated
| Spaniard who trsversed great portion Of
the new world, in quest &c o fountain that
would clothe him with eternal youth, surely
missed West Springs in his wanderings.
Nothing but lack of energetic enterprise,
causes this spring to occupy any other than
the front rank of health-producing summer
resorts in the South.
To suffering humanity, we would say,
come 10 West Springs, whose waters are q
specific for all stomach troubles, ard great
promoter of digestion, and. for the blues,

with his ready-fowing wit, is prese Mt

Aourishing school, with Maj. W. T. Thom-

Mr.. Editor, should you, or any Of your
acquaintances, presume TO think that NJ
good can come out of Bogausville or wes
Springs, we simply reiterate what PhiliI
said to Nathanial, in reference to Nazareth

Providence will surely reward us for al

And on his income learn to live,

A False Tongue

curses TO our countryside false tongue.
And An 70 greatly As4 ds.sst this dangerous
tloashsi !soaid N 4iAas H. ] .l Aa1fp ataas
through the press!
i dread the false tongue far, far more than
the burglar or thief, and was so taught by
my mother, We can lock our homes against
the one bat not tho other--.hat strike
stealthily and with fatal aim at character.
In many cases in our courts we hear 80
much false testimony amounting to perjury,
that no wonder the juries are often puz.
zled as to what are the real facts, an. that
they could but fail to give justice. / am
one who believes it to be the imperative
duty of every one claiming to be friend
to his country, 10 be ever ready and willing
to 50 into case, with-a consideration. de-
termination to truthfully testify, aud in sny
peaceful way give aid to secure justice be-
tween parties in the case or in any matters
out Of it, in order that truth might prevail
over faisehbod aud that honor; society,
christianity, adj Qualification may rise to
higher plane man tes drag through the
dirty SCUM of the, false tongue.
4If'a true gentleman. from some cause,
should happen to speak i'll Of another and
afterwards find his charge untrue, he will
at once sincerely retract and ask pardon ;
but if he benot gentleman he will never
retraet, although discose ring its untruth
unless he be coercod to do so. The latter

Dots from Keltor1.

Mr.. EDIToR.-As you have SO many cor
respondents from Kelton it leaves me no
news to write; but some of them probably
don't farm, and they have ample time to
write up Kelton.
Farming work is in advance Of former
years aud IL the beautiful weather holds
good for planting we may thank God that
we have not suffered the ravages of storms
as many other sections have. Wheat. is
looking fine aud promises fair yield at
present. Oats are looking fine also, and o
largo amount has been sowed in this sec-
ton. So, taking all things in consideration,
We have fatterng prospects for good crops.
The members Of the Kelton Alliance are
well pleased with their arrangements for
buying goods. They buy much cheaper
than usual; but they must bear in mind
asssGS merchants s5Id ons hoo-. -.
heve sold goods alta smaller profit. But
wnen merchant fails to collect what il
due him he had better quit selling The
merchants are we'll pleased also, for they
- '~ s'-S'S ~ HIoaIcr uetormin all on
among the farmers to be more sconomizine
and more prompt in paying up.
AS the Supreme Court has decided that
the township Bonds are valid Kelton expects
to see the iron horse como putting along,
bringing US guano. and carrying off our
cotton, but not TO bring meat and corn and
Hour, for wo ought to raise it here, and l
think the farmers are drifting in that di.
rsction now.
alr. Editor, see in your issue of March
10th that Mrs. NJ. A. f. boasts of her South
Carolina oollarl. 1 fully agree with her in
hoiding up for her State; but she mu,t
remember did not weigh my largest eollard,
and mine grew in garden. She calls hers
patch. Why did she wait until away in
March 18th to tell of hers, after had
krouted my big collsrdf Poor old Joe,
under Georgia collsrd. Mrs. M. A. e.,
we will try IL over next Fall, and report.
Joe admits that he has no collards, and we
would suggest to Mrs. Joe that she get him
out soon before breakfast, to work in her
garden, and she will havo colar.is to eat
next winter, just as Mrs. J. T. A. does.

The Outlet, Inlet and Outcome of Cross

Aoybs
Cross KEYS, s. c., April 2Oth.-Cross
Keys has, at last, another outlet to the
civilized world, in the shape of new bridge
across Tiger River, at the old crossing
known as the Murphy Mill place, and noo
it is only twelve miles from Cross Keys to
Union Q. b. An outlet also serves as nm
'lei, and tho travelling public on both sides
o. .he Tiger are accommodatei. We also
have promising young Physician, in the
person of DIR. fancey l.: Pool, who is TO try
his luck near tho centre of the township, as
he hung ous his Saiagie d.; air. W. A.
Rays residence, less than half mile from
Cross Keys proper, last week. DIR. Pool is
young man Of fine moral character, AMI
will be quite an acquisition to the oommu-
nifty.
The Farmers Alliances seem to hang
together very well, aud it is said they have
done much in the way Of reducing the
prices Of tho necessaries Of life. The
merchants keep full stores and sell cheap.
Now, IL tho young Doctors will take the
hint, and attend closely to business, make
reasonable charges, and prove themselves
worthy Of tho confidence of the people, the
Hbons and sinew" Of the country will help
them along. The farmers. indirectly, but
certainly, pay all the expenses Of the
Governmsnt, and while they are treated
right by those who live of Of their Iabors,
they are willing TO toll ON, and toll ever
but the day is not far distant when the er-
tortfonsr will have to seek another country.
May just God speed the time.

psS~ The Town Council of Union is do.
ing splendid work on the streets, for which
they deserve the cordial thanks Of our citi-
zens. They have put the sidewalks in solid
condition, covered the street crossings
with heavy plank and cleaned out the gut
ters, So that pedestrians eau traverse the
town dry-shod in the wettest of seasons. W.
hope they will not stop their good work up
on the sidewalks alone, but will get into the
streets, fill up the holes, level them off and
put "hard finish" to the streets also so that
riding may be as smooth and pleasant as
walking. W are, individually, more inter-
ested in having smooth streets than good
sidewalks, as we are unable TO use the side
walks and our old bones get awfully shook
up in passing over holes in the streets.
We are assured, however, that tho Council
will do their best, and as scon as possible to
put the streets in frs. class permanent con-
dition, so we have nothing to say except to
praise them. The "ways' Of Union have
undergone great improvements the last two
months, in more ,oGys than one, and we
hope the honorable Town Council will con.
tinue to do its share toward making tho
town not only attractive TO the eye, but pro
foun1ly peaceful and highly commendable
in its morals.
