SASIUc, JULY 10, 1890.
Mr.. EDIToa.-It has been SO long since
said any thing, save little about the last
Sunday School convention, that 1 have be-
come la silent member Of your family Of
correspondents.
4 have boen SO absorbed with work, and
so stiugy with time, that con now see, faint
ly, the other side--of the feld,-aud hope it
will not prove phantom; SO I will try to send
in o little news.
This place is being improved somewhat.
Sopo dwellings are being paiated, and the
sNerehousees&arns, fences, &o., whitewashcd /,
which aids greatly to the place. Mr.. C. w.
Austell, our druggist, also desler in gem
eral merchandise, has put up o large aud
powerful street lamp in front Of his store
for the benefit of his customers and the lar
ger part of the little town, as it throws a
deal of eight on the place.
The Sautuc Division 8. of T. held their
regular semi-monthly meeting on Thursday
night, the 10th and had very modest lit
tie lamp-ljght picnic Of their own, which
was more greatly enjoyed than any out-of-
door picnic could have been. These suppers
are gwen quarterly, on every installation
night, but on this one, other business oc-
cupied 30 much Of the time, that the iustrl-
lation of Officers was postponed until the
next meeting. Below are the officers to be
installed:
w.P., J. w. Gregory; W. A., R. H.
Johns; r. s., L. Claude Jeter; A. II. 8.
Mrs. G. r. WilIeford; G. s., w. Z Cornwell;
Chap, Rev. c. r. Wi'leford Tras., j. C.
Sarior Con VI. o. Jeter A. c., Miss Ida
Johns LIS Traverse B. Jeter, o. s. Woods
Mitchell.
1t IS expected that the Division will soon
t~ise O now growth, 90 oevercl ha-o onproos-
ed desire to uuie with us. aud the busy
working season will soon be over. To see so
many boys just growing up, joining is good
sign, and is encouraging 20 those who faith
fully "stick" aud work. But for any yonng
man or boy to quit good Society, and he
mean it, trying to 'root the fence down. to
let out others, is a very bad sign, and looks
susp:cious-the world will suspicion. Such
characters can be meS with almost every day,
aud almost everywhere.
sANTUC ALLIANCE.
AT the last meeti~g of the Sautuo Alliance,
nearly oil Of its Officers wers installed.
Some were absent and will be irsa!lcd at
the next meeting, Saturday before End Sun

There have been several picnics around
since last occupied u space In these columns.
There was a large one and fish stew at
Jeter's mill on Broad river on the II, which
was freely part 'cipated in by the young aud
mo,e ma.ured from both sides Of the river,
who, it is said enjoyed themselves to the
fullest. There have also been several night
fish stews thers by The msn folks Of this
section.
1t is very dry down here to date, We not
having had any rain in three weeks, only
little shower that barely laid the dust,
and as q natural consequence crops are
burning badly, but the farmers are diligenr-
ly at work, trying to lay-by, aud are put.
ting their crops in excellen condition for
same.
Rev. c. r. Willeford vii, begin series ci
meetings at Salem on fourth Sunday, and
they will then be extended to his other
churches in their turn. E. w. j.
