A Note from carswell Institute.

The old complaint, "it is SO dry" is
cured. 1t has rained, and the frowns on
the faces of our farmers, who complain oi
such, again become smoothe.
We have no e1aggerations to make Of
OUR crops in their present condition, while
at the same time we would not refuse
challenge from any Of our neighbor crop
committees as to the superiority Of farm
ing, or as to the present outlook of its
yield. A great many of our farmers are
done hoeing cotton for this season, and
have also finished laying by their upland
corn. In this immediate settlement the
cotton, the first planting especially, has not
grown any for near two weeks, and 1t is
generally conceded that the recent show
ers of rain that We have been blessed with
is insufficient to produce second growth.
We may speak Of the people around the
themselves politically and liberty-loving; /;
but we wish to answer them as Christ did
the rich young man who went to Him to
know what he must do to inherit eternal
life: "One thing lacketh thou YETI and
that is in the care and the keeping Of the
Carswell Institute. Here We have house
we'll supplied with charts. maps, globe,
and O good organ, which is exposed to
every passer-hy. We learn that both white
and eolored avail themselves of this oppor.
tunity to peruse the charts and thump on
the organ, will ask the trustees or the
patrons of the school to wake up to sense
Of duty in reference to this matter, and re-
member that the old adage is literally true,
'e stitch in time saves nine.'
Miss Ella McAdams has returned from g
visit to relatives over the river, and reports
pleasant time.
Rev. Mr.. Fennel has taught three days
of the singing school that was alluded to
in the last INTELLIGENcER, but has sus-
pended until the 17th instant, when he
will again commence, and perhaps 60 on
without any more delay. We think Mr..
Fennel well qualified to do this work, and
have never seen class make more progress
for the same length Of time than the one
under his present tutorage
Since MIR. A. P. W. has gotten out Of
the grass, he has given himself clean
shave, SO that he could have it to say, ~
am clean physically as we'll as eropically."
We are glad to note at the present writing
that Mrs s. o. Jackson is improving from
a severe illness.
a young man of this community called
on his best girl few nights ago, and to his
sad disappointment found that be had
missed his supper between the houses. In
forming the young lady of his awful con-
dition, she at once rose up to prepare it,
when he interrupted her by saying that q
kiss was all he wanted for supper. She,
turning around facing him, with her hand
kerchief to her mouth, and brushing it a
time or two, answered very lowly and
sweetly, 'supper is ready"
Misses Lucia Reid and Mary White Pear
son are visiting relatives and friends in this
community, both from Due West.
A reunion of the survivors of Company
"7, ;" Gath Regiment, will be held at the
Carswell Institute the 22nd inst. The COM
mittee of arrangements have secured the
"Anderson Band" so We will have some
good music interspersed with the speaking.
A large crowd is expected, and we think
it not out of place to inform the ladies,
when they 60 to cook dinner for the 22nd,
to be sure and put the big pot in the little
one.
Mrs. B. D. Hall has arrived home from o
five months stay In Atlanta. She went
there for medical treatment. We are glad
to note that she is much better.
Your correspondent has not noticed a
foggy morning this year, and would like to
know why they have quit coming.
