MIS. Ouu TIiSu1 - very AZ" oG Ploa-
ent with typhoid fever.
Mr.. w. Il. saylors. Jr., is confined to
his bed with pneumonia.
a great many are suffering much with
severe coughs and colds. And we might
mention a few cases of "itch," too, which
is generally a source of secret torture.
Some say poor white folks and darkeys
have "itch,'' and rich folks have roseola,
ora "humor in the blood"
Last Sunday was very disagreeable, aud
no churches in this community were
attended.
The weather has been quite favorable
and the industrious farmers are making
use of it. Some are clearing, some are
sowing grain, some are repairing and
building, others are swapping horses. As
for the lady folks, we hardly know what
employs most Of their time. But some
cook, some knit, some make crazy quilts,
some go visiting, some have correspon-
dents, and and-others keep hawks from
taking their young chickens-the rest go
to school.
Sweet potato hills are almost exhausted,
and the scarcity Of anything is sure to
create better appetite for it. 1t is feared
that seed potatoes will be scarce in this
neighborhood.
Guano and the Farmers Alliance are
the two leading topics.
Clinkscales' Alliance met OH last Satur-
day evening, and several new members
oIl ~ ,ul,to tol, h trto
miles to join. An Alliance has recently
been organized at Barker's Creek. For
quarter Of century the poor, exhausted
farmer has toiled aud waited for day Of
prosperity day in which he can gather
the golden 'tsheathes" and call them his
own; Time when his position will be
recognized according to the real value Of
his labors. In vain has he waited for
the Legislature" or the "Press" to intro
duce something which will enable him to
prosper. After almost every method has
failed and every hope vanished, good
Providence has sent the Farmers Alli-
ance" to his relief, and he feels sure that it
is the only ray of hope, therefore he
means to cling to it for protection.
Miss Rosa Tribble, the teacher at this
place, has very large school at present.
We learn that Miss Ellen Craford, the
teacher at Bethany, is very unwell, but
she continued to teach until week ago,
when she was compelled to vacate for
awhile. Miss Ellen has had a full school,
and the patrons are well pleased, with her.
They hope she will soon be well again.
Miss Nina Tribble, a most charming
young lady Of Abbeville, is visiting her
uncle and aunt, MIR. and Mrs. r. G. Kay.
Miss Mallie Strickland, one of ourilive.
lest bellies, is in school at Anderson, and
she is greatly missed by all, but more es-
pecially by some OF the young gallants.
One of our young men who is being
constantly accused Of getting married
soon, says be is going to keep batch, but
judging from the way he is remodeling his
house, we are rather disposed to be gov
erned by our own conclusions.
Que Of our neighbors was presented
with "bouncing boy' for new years
present. He says it is not pretty yet, but
az It's his first we would advise all who
see it to compliment the boy"
A young man purchased new buggy
sometime ago for the sole purpose Of
hauling certain young lady who recently
joining County. The first time he had the
pleasure of hauling her, was few days
ago, when he carried her to Anderson.
While there, the lady purchased we'd
ding dress, and, if reports are true, will
get married to another young man in the
settlement soon.
A certain young man in this section is
said to be laboring under painful bur.
den. He has certain trusty friend with
whom he has been talking, and he tells
her that he can't decide. to save his life,
which of two young ladies (both Of whom
he has been sparkling alternately for sew
eral months past,) he had better select for
partner.
a certain fellow who was out unusually
late the other night concluded to be some
what mischierous. He placed several
rude distractions in the road, but he was.
the first to travel the road next morning.
One Of our nearest neighbors has turned
his business to horse trading. We wish
him success, but can't believe he will have
it since we learn that when he makes q
trade, and the man afterwards becomes
dissatisfied, he pays him cash to his own
satisfaction. CRATE.
