It appears quite a long time since we
contributed to your worthy paper, but IN
this issue we hope to give Lo1ndcsville's
newest and brightest items.
The exceedingly low price for cotton,
together with the shortage OF crop, has
necessarily made things remarkably quiet
for this season Of the year. But IN the
face of all this there has been sufficient
interest and concern about our town not
to suffer her progress to decline.
The ginnery of Messrs. Horton q Bas,
kin has made a fine showing ior the hrs1
season. They have already packed over
seven hundred bales, and will before the
end of the year. increase that excellent
number 10 moro than nine hundred.
They have given frst.class satisfaction,
doing good and efficient work, and will be
better able to serve their trade when the
cotton crop Of 90 is gathered than ever be-
fore.
The Bank Of Lowndesville submits line
report. which should be eminently salts
factory to the most exacting lnancler.
They have purchased a frst-class safe,
built a neat and substantial building,
with furniture for the same, and will pay
in addition to all expenses fair profit to
stockholders. The building is erected
near Baker Mathews & Chambers store,
about the center Of Marion Square, and
faces Main Street. This addition to the
business thrift of our town is marked
and significant one.
The painters brush has made beauti-
full home of the newly erected cottage that
stands on the old DuPree lot, in the lower
part of town. 1t was built by Rev: K. T.
Franks, who has moved here to make this
his home. We welcome this esteemed
and venerable friend in our midst, trusting
that his last days may be his happiest.
The residence of Miss Qthella Hutchin-
son is gradually being finished, and when
completed will be pretty cottage with
good dimensions. It is being erected near
the home.of Dr.. B. A. Henry.
There are many other buildings in pro-
gress, and ere the Spring opens the Seven
Hills will smile with new smile, her
streets will be graced with score or more
of han dsome houses, and those who visit
our town next summer will better appre.
cIate her attractions than ever before.
The High School, under the instruction
of Prof. II. B. Humbert, is in better con. !.
dition than it has been for number OF
years. He has increased the number OF
pupils, and has aroused new interest
among the people In behalf of education
that promises to result 10 much good.
he is graduate of Erskine College, and is
worthy and promising young. We are
glad to have him with US, and wish for
him continued success.
The event of the season was the mar
riage of DR.. B. A. Henry to Miss Tommy
in wedlock at the home of the brides
father in Elberton, Ga. The bride was one
of Elberton's most charming and win
some young ladies, while DR.. Henry is
one of Lowndesville's most promising
young men, They now reside at the
Moseley Hotel, where they will remain
until some time in January. They will
! then occupy tho pretty house go tastefully
| arranged by DR.. Henry for his bride, and
! which commands lovely view on the

The Presbyterians are making an effort

for the benefit of their new parsonage.
We trust they will succeed in their under

popular and important personages in this
vicinity. He has his hands full, but is
doing his duty without fear, and on the

good Trial Justice.
Mr.. Jas. Z. Carter has been suffering
for some time with an affection of the

Lowndesville Alliance on Saturday at
