Lieut.. Greeley only missed bis cold
wave twenty hours. Pretty goui guess
for Greeley. The wave did not tlavel
Us fast as he had calculated but it got
here all the same, and played havoc
with the tender plants in these regions.
We would prefer not having any more
of these waves for long while.

On Sunday last Rev. Marks baptized
family of five children in Grace
church. The last ministerial act which
be performed was the marrying Of a
couple at the residence OF Capt. Henry
S. Boozer about 10 O'Clock on Sunday
night. The couple had to watch their
chances which accounts for the lateness
of the hour. Mr.. Willie Lester and Miss
Anna Hawkins, at the time and place
above mentioned, were made lone
fleshn and went on their way happy
and serene.
"Peace reigns in Warsaw" The per-
sons implicated in the Smokey Town
troubles have migrated to the West,
and now everything is calm and serene
in that good old town.
Mr.. W. Fl. Dickert and family, and
Mrs. Mamie Boinest and little Inez,
left here on Tuesday for their future
home in Atlanta. Thus in one day
Prosperity has been bereft Of three of
her best families. We can i'll afford to
lose such citizens as these.
If the people of Prosperity and sur
rounding country are alive to their own
interests, they will see that the Cotton
Oil Mill, spoken Of by the Alliance, lie
built here. Let inducements be Of
fered in the way of subscriptions and
otherwise so that the projectors of the
scheme may be encouraged to locate
their plant in our midst; thereby mu-
tually benefiting each other.
We have purchased the effects Of Mr..
w. H. Dickert and are now running
the "Prosperity." Boarding house bus
mess is nothing new to Us. Call around
Mr.. Editor and bringyour friends. We
begin to believe that you are afraid to
come. You have not been here so
long.
The business manager Of the Farm
cr's Alliance is kept very busy now de-
livering fertilizers to individuals and to
sub-alliances, but Capt. W. D. Hardy
is equal to the emergency. The alliance
was certainly fortunate in securing his
services. "Richard is himself again.
The cotton crop has been nearly all
sold, and "Dick" has not much to do
in that direction.
Farmers are busy distributing ferti1
izers, preparatory to planting cotton.
Some corn has been planted, and fthe
weather continues thus warm it will
make good stand.
On last Sunday morning Rev. G. w.
Holland, D. D., Ph. D., filled Rev.
Marks pulpit in Grace church. The
sermon was enlinently creditable
to the learned doctor as was evinced
by the rivetted attention of the large
congregation. At the close of the ser.
mon the doctor, in a brief, but plain
and practical manner, presented tEe
wants of resolution passed by synod
requesting the churches to erect three
suitable dwellings for the college pro-
fessors to live in. For the Ell.
couragcmcnt Of the congregation he
stated that the Lutheran churches in
Charleston had offered to build g
dwelling for the president Of the col
lege, leaving all the other Lutheran
churches the small task of building the
other two dwellings. At the close OF
his remarks a subscriDtion was taken
