Fire Seasons and Good Crops---A
Bridge Over Colonel's Fork
Creek Badly Needed.

TUGALoo HOME, S. c., Aug. TO-
DEAR COURIER: The seasons con
tinue fine. Indeed this is too tame
a term, too commonplace to convey
our meaning. The showers arc co.
pious without excess, no wind to
PROSTATE the corn, no flashes of vivid
lightning, no heavy peals Of thunder,
while corn, cotton, potatoes, gardens,
peas and all other crops whatever
they may be, seem to vie with each
other for the mastery, while pastures,
sleek fat cattle and stock of all kinds
show that "%fatness" is being rained
down upon lis from the hands of
the Oliver Of every good and perfect
gift and we feel inspired that the
"pcrihelion" is passing away and
that we arc blessed with regular sea-
sons again.
There is no trouble to find over
20 grown hollis Of cotton to the
stalk on early cotton bcdccked with
the finest foliage and the best worked
crops, with the finest showers that
eve favored Gods people for a con-
tinuation Of the August, September,
and October crops; and if no un-
forescen calamity takes place the re-
suit will be truly magnificent; nay,
without a parallel in the annals Of
agricultural history.
But our object for penning this ar
ticlc is moro particularly to notice
the necessity for a bridge across
Coloncl's Fork Greek, between West
minister and Wajhaiin. The writer
drove 46 miles last Monday to attend
the Executive Committee meeting,
and on u return, in company with
Mr.. "lSudt2 Hall, we reached the
said creek and found it impossible.
We wont to the ford on tho road to
Fort Madison and after waiting a ii

hour or two for the stream to- fall,
Mi. Hall drove i'm, but che t1rbid,

hour or two for the stream to- fall,
Mr. Hall drove i'm, but the t1rbidl
waves swept the buggy and horse
downst the STREAM, the buggy
over and splitting Mr. Hall, but fas
his feet reached tea1ys .fsr,aa he
turned the buggy back and his faith
|fal animal went out safely. The.
writer waited till nearly night and
came near sharing the same fate,
preventing the buggy from turning
oyer py remalning on the upper seat,
notwithstanding the water, Was
nearly over the dashboard. Now,
County Commissioners, to multiply
words is needless. $Walhalla has q
daily mail, much of the goods for
the merchants of our county seat
are shipped to Westminster, all Of
the Fair Play region, the Ridge,
Westminster and immediate and
surrounding sections have to attend
court and other official business and
are often Water-bound by a creek
not more than ten miles long and
ton feet wide, though heading as it
does, IN the spurs of tho mountains,
is rapid in rid and force, can be
bridged with tlellunber of What one
pair of mules can pull at one load;
yet the Post-office department, the
official business of our County
Court House and the mercantile
business, and last but not least, the
travelling public, have all failed to
see the necessity of bridging over
this little mountain stream, while it
detains busines, endapgers life and
yet it is such a trivial affair, can not
be accounted for, unless what is
e~verybodys' business is nobodys'
business. 1t is q necessity, a pro
bono publico, and the candidate that
is opposed to this bridge, we adver-
tise you in advance, to count you
one vote less by yours truly,

BE rude TO none; rudeness harms
not even the humblest and poorest TO
whom IL Is directed. but Injuries the
exhibitor. Never urge n person to do
anything against his desire, unless
you see danger before him. Do not
ask another TO do what you would not
be glad TO do under similar circum-
stances. Always give precedence 10
elders. visitors and superiors. Offer
them the best seat at the table, the
best place by the fire and the first OF
everything. Go farther than mere
form, and see that they are comfort
able and happy. BE not ostentatious
In dress or department; nothing can
DO more vulgar. See that costumes
fit the time and occasion. Never try

make witticisms ut the expense OF
others, which you would not wish TO
have made upon yourselves. Never
talk or laugh aloud in public places.
Never press favor where IL seems
undesirod. Never treat supcriors with
servility or interiors with arrogance.
Speak as kindly 10 day laborer ns 10
one occupying high position. Never
hcedlessly wound the vanity Of an

disagreeablo subjects. Never intrudo
ill-health, pains, losses or misfor-
tunes. Never omit 90 perform q kind

sonable amount OF exertion. Never
intentionally wound tho feelings OF II

Usefulness.

There are few qualities more valua-
BILE To the possessor or more highly
appreciated than that OF usefulness.
The useful boy or girl is treasure
at home; a help 10 father and mother.
IA counselor to brothers and sisters and
trusted companion Usefulness inn
plies industry, reliability. intelligence,
capacity self-control, and these are
the foundations OF successful life.
The useful boy sees opportunities
that others neglect. He Is attentive
TO little things. He Is careful Of his
employers interests. lie puts con-
science into his duty, and is sure
sooner or later 20 attract the attention
OF those who are placed above him.
He is thus always In the direct line Of
promotion, and advancement is seldom
long deferred.
III he cultivates his gift, and grows
10 be q useful man, his possibilities
for good viii be greatly enlarged. He
will be consulted by his employers, for
they will have confidence in his judg-
ment; added responsibilities will be
committed TO him. and he is then well
started on the road TO higher promo
ton and honor.
Usefulness may be defined rs active
duty. To be useful one must be doing,
yet thinking may be useful, just as
much as action, IL the thinking Is
planning or directing, and not mere
dreaming. and when thinking Is com
bined with the ability to execute sue
cessfully, IL becomes the highest form
OF usefulness. Then IL originates,
devices, invents, starts the workshop,
builds bridges, ships and railroads;
puts in motion the wheels OF com
merce, finds new avenues for trade,
simplifies processes, multiplies en-
ployment, and leaves mark on its
time and generation.
