have forgotten to mention a few items IN
his article, will3 now proceed to give
them to your many readers.
Madam Rumor can't be fooled every
time, for of the halfdozen Cornerites that
she said would "jump the boom" this
winter, four of them have already done
30, and the other two don't seem to have
entirely lost hopes yet. The Madam still

Mr.. H. s. Trescot is the champion vege-
table grower of the Corner. He plants the
seeds OF W. 81. Maule, of Philadelphia,
and last year secured the $50 prize offered
by Mr.. Maule for the best radishes grown
from his seed. Mr.. Trescot speaks very
highly of Mr.. Maule as being an honest,
square dealing scotsman, and says that his
seeds are among the best he has ever
planted.
There is in the Corner certain ex-
bachelor, but now newly married man,
who was overheard some time since court.
ing his best girl. The report is that he
said to her pleadingly and as if tears were
in his eyes: 'Do you really love me well
enough to have me?" and after some hes
itation his darling answered slowly and
sweetly "y.e-s." And sure enough she
did, for now the ex-bachelor dances
around at her command, glories in the
magnetism of her beautiful black eyes
and calls her my WIFE"
Miss Blassimgame's school at Bishops

to let the people know that we are all

Our school is in thriving condition.
The grippe hasn't struck some of US as

Farmers, sow your oats if you can, and
be sure and plant corn enough to do, 80
that you can raise your own meat and

Well, the marrying fever seems to be
over for awhile, and everybody is making
preparations for another crop. We hope
the farmers will have better success than
they had last year.
Mr.. Jim. Haynie, of the Flat Rock sec.

What are the farmers going to do? The
merchants say they will not do any credit
business before March, and the Banks
will not loan any money until after that
time. 1t is serious question. There is
only one remedy for the farmer, and that
is to produce his own corn, wheat, oats,
peas, potatoes, molasses, meat, etc., and at
the same time practice strict economy.
We buy too many buggies and horses,
chew too much tobacco and drink too
much whiskey. If We will only try, We
can soon become the most independent
and happiest people on the globe.

Caro- News,

As you have not heard from this section
this year, Mr.. Editor, I will try to tell
your many readers of a few of the happen
ings
The weather is delightful at this time,
and our people, with the exception of the
grip, are enjoying good health.
Mr.. Joe Hilhouse has moved his saw
mill to Mr.. Tom. shearer's plantation,
where be will be kept busy for several
days.
Our friends and neighbors should not
forget that prayer meeting is held at
New Hope every Saturday night. Every
body will be cordially welcomed at this

an invitation to the men, both old and
! young, to come to the Church next Fri
| day and Saturday and assist in putting up
the ceiling. We should not let Messrs.
J. #. Busby and Abram Bolt do all this
work and conduct the prayer meeting, too.
Two Of our young men visited their
best girls recently, and both rode the same
mule. That is right, boys; do most any
way before going into debt for buggy or
cart.
We had very interesting talk recently
with one of the oldest citizens Of this
County, Mr.. Ezekiel Elrod. In his
younger days he was an expert rifle shot,
and still keeps his old rifle, which he has
named "Friday." Mr.. Elrod is now
eighty-two years old, and can handle his
axe we'll.
Mr.. J. D. Hewin is moving into this

Cedar Grove,

We are having some fine weather for
sowing oats, and our farmers are making
good use of it.
Mr.. Lawrence Noland had fine cow
stolen last week. The thief drove the COW
to Greenville. Mr.. Noland followed
close behind and secured both the thief
and cow.
One of our good ladies had all Of her
chickens stolen a few nights ago. The
same week Mr.. Z. Brown heard somebody
in his chicken roost. He went to the door
and the thief told him to stay in the house
if he wanted to save himself. A small lot
of corn was also recently stolen from Mr..
w. ]. Mahaffey. Our people will have to
keep their eyes open.
We have good school at this place, and
one of the best teachers in the County.
| We want the School Commissioner to
visit this school. We guarantee he will

Fairdeal Echoes.

Well, Mr.. Editor, if it is agreeable to
your honor will drop in for a short chat,
hoping that may not bore you or any of
the many intelligent readers of your valu-
able paper. The weather, believe, is the
first topic of conversation; if not please
excuse me, for I am not yet wholly initia-
ted in the art of newspaper correspon
dence. AS I was going to say, we have
had beautiful spell of weather for the
time of year, which the farmers have been
making good use of. All are about done
sowing spring oats, of which there has
been full crop put in. There also
much land already broken for tho cr ing
crop, of which we think there Ill be
from one-third to one.half less otton
planted than was last year.
The health of this community is getting
better than it has been for some time past
We are glad to state that Mr.. G. R. Cox
and wife, both of whom have been seri-
ously Ill with the grippe, are now conva-
lescent. Mr.. Silas Kay, who has also
been prostrated with the same disease, Is
improving.
We know that We echo the sentiment Of
every citizen of Fairdeal when we say
that it is with sorrow and regret that we
part with the familiar figure Of Mr.. Jas
per Landress, whose corpulent form so
often graced the interior of our humble
cabin. Mr.. Landress has gone to reside
with uncle Joshua Holland, several miles
below here.
Why don't some one in Fairdeal try
raising pigs for the market? I think it
would prove profitable investment
There is hardly family to my knowledge
who would not y one or more pigs, and
can't hear of one for sale in five miles
square.
Mr.. Abner johnson and his most esti-
mable lady, from the Kingdom, spent last
Saturday night with relatives in Fairdeal.
Miss Della Brown is teaching tho young
'sidea how to shoot at Bowland Grecn
Academy this term, and is having quite a
hourishing school.
Prof.gM N. Mitchell is at the holm at
Union Grove, which is the first school
taught in that house. Mr.. Mitchell
makes q favorable report of his school,
despite much sickness among the patrons.
Mrs. Higgie Scott was buried at White
field Church on Tuesday, the End inst,
after appropriate funeral services con-
Quoted by the Rev. G. NJ. Rogers. Her
death occurred at Anderson last Sunday.
Mrs. Scott left husband and three small
children to mourn her death.
By the way, as this is leap year We are
anxiously awaiting developments. Owing
to the extreme modesty Of our DISPOSE
ton, we haye never taken much stock
in the matrimonial market, but now the
ladies will come to the front, and OF
course it will be impossible TO remain sim
gle much longer. Am really surprised
that have had no calls as yet. Will now
try the virtue Of printers ink and give q
description of myself: am over sixteen,
but under sixty years of age; as to intelli'

steel fully warranted, which will bo ro,
