We are having some very cold weather
now for March. I am afraid the peaches
are all killed.
The farmers in this section are going
ahead with their work, and the majority
of them are done putting in guano, and
are ready to plant cotton. think tie
farmers had better plant less cotton, unless
the price was better. Some of our farmers
are going ahead planting corn. I think ii
it stays such weather as this it will 60
down instead Of coming up.
am sorry to announce that Miss
Mamie Baileys school at this place has
closed. Miss Bailey advanced the children
rapidly, and all the patrons are so highly
pleased with her work they want her to
teach for them again. Our hearts Were
made sad to see the children parting with
her. They love and admire her, and the
tears came into their eyes when they had
to bid her good bye.

can read my titles clear to mansions in
the skies. I'm going home to Jesus. I'll
soon be over the River. The angels are
waiting to take me over home, sweet
home. Glory to God I'm going home to
Jesus. I'll see pa and ma. Can you give
me up?" she continued, taking her hus-

Little Tom" has exhausted himself yet,
and he will tell you all about the weather,
the farmers and the happenings since be
wrote last, all of which he will pass over
very briefly until he gets to the young man
with the new hat, and then he will tell us
of the recent calls he has been making on
certain young lady, that he now thinks
they are floating on the ocean currents OF
existence, and will soon be instinctive!y
drawn together blended and beautihed IN
the assimilated alembic of eternal love.
But we will leave him and hasten on to
the farmer who went to town some time
ago to make arrangement for supplies
during the year. The merchant told him,
with one of his blandest smiles, that he
would be glad to sell him the goods, but
would require a mortgage on his mule,
wagon, crop and household furniture, in
Guiding his spouse and his blooming re-
spousibilities as security. He was willing
to give security, but not that much, and
proceeded to pour torrent of wrath IN
the smiling MERCHANTS ear. He went
home, sold out, and is now Offering his
service to the public.
We are in sympathy with the young
lady that is suffering with sore eyes.
| Yes, we had them once and our eyes are
red now; caused perhaps by the cold wind
the other night.

take notice.
Not long ago young lady was writ ng
| to friend, and was 40 freq uently annoyed
by an old gander fighting the chickens
that she went out, caught him. gave him
a good threshing, pulled the feathers out
of his wings and threw him over the
fence. Now, Mr.. Editor, don't you think
she was a cruel girl, for besides being
vexed with his proceedings in the yard,
she was also suffering from fall she re-
ceived while chasing him about the house
| The writer has often been called goose
gander, but if that young lady wants te

Just think meat is 81 cents cash and III
cents on time, and We farmers will persist
in raising cotton, which Is worth only 5
cents pound. Such business will break
any man. Let US turn over new leaf,
keep 1t clean, raise our own supplies at

Our farmers are well up with their
work.
Several Of our neighbors have recently
met with bad luck. Messrs. John
ThacKer and Charles Gaillard have each
lost good mule from the blind staggers.
Just at this time such ioss is serious.
We are now planting corn, and it is to
be hoped that every farmer will produce
enough at least to do him. Perhaps 1t
would be better for us to follow the exam
pie Of our bachelor neighbor, p. S., who
is planting fifty acres in corn, ten in sor'
ghum and not seed OF cotton.

Don't surrender although the fight be

dismal failures. Old Bad blood may yet
be conquered and disease driven from
the citadel of life. You have not used
the proper remedy, or long ago you
would have felt a change. You have
tried this and that, hundred bottles ol

and if six bottles don't do you moro good

for farm work, which is indeed very
highly appreciated by the farmers.
March winds are inspecting our garden
fences for us this week, and when one is
found that is not strong enough to stand
the test it is throwed flat upon the ground.
The heavy rains of last week marked
out plainly for US the defective points in
our new terraces.
Ifpeople stick up to what they said last
fall there will be quite number of new
CORE cribs to build in this community in
the near future.
Spring oats ara looking fine, and if they
don't get killed out no way probably there
will have to be some work done on the
barns.
We are very glad, indeed, to chronicle
the disappearance of the grippe.
| Some OF our farmers have commenced
putting in their guano, and some are done,
! yet there are few that are little behind,
but they have pulled off their coats, put
on their palmetto hats and say that they
will be ready when planting time comes.

in this community is only tolerably good.

such curious name do not know, but
there is one thing that I know: the in

farmers, and are as kind and accommo-

believe that more ivelier set of boys
than those Of "Troglevel" could be found.
They are forever getting up joke on
somebody, and they can fix them up in a
way that you can't get mad at them. One
cold night, not so very long ago, they
made man stand in an old drain ditch,
that was about half a foot deep in mud
and water, for an hour or more, and the
man couldn't get mad at all. The way
they got him in the ditch happened in this
way: One evening one Of the boys went
to the man and said: See here, nsighbor,
did you ever go snipe hunting? ?" NO."
replied the man. "Why that's strange !;
they are the easiest things to catch you

if you want to you can &c with u.s." "All
right" sad the man, "whst time will you
be ready to start?" ''It will be dark be-

In response to the call issued two weeks
ago the Anderson County Teachers Asso-
citation met in the Court House last Satur-
day, the 18th inst. It was called to order
and opened with prayer by School Com
missioner Wsrdlaw.
The most interesting feature of the occa-

bard swork, and many good suggestions
were carried away.
Several questions Of interest and i'm
portance were discussed.
The feasibility of having school cele-
bration in this city during the early sum-
mer, in which all the white children OF
the County will take part, was discussed,
and will very probably be undertaken.
II will be a grand sight to SEQ the teachers
of the County with. 5000 school children
in a procession.
It was also thought advisable if an In
stitute is held this year that it should be
in June, as that will be the time at which
most teachers can attend.
The meeting was largely attended. and
in every respect was very pleasant and
harmonious.
The following preamble aud resolution
were unanimously adopted by the Associ-
alton:
Whereas, Mr.. c. wardlaw, our faithful,
untiring and efficient School Commis.
sioner, has lRbored in every lauGable
manner to increase the efficiency of the
free common schools, and to raise them to
higher plane; and, whereas, with this
end in view, he has performed much in
valuable work outside of the routine du-
ties of his Office as School Commissioner,
in securing from manufacturers and pub
fishers desks, charts, &C., ut greatly re-
duced rates, and that without any fee or
commission on his part; and, whereas, at
the same time he has rendered the teach
ers most valuable services in preparing for
them much simpler, shorter and incom.
parably better form of monthly school re-.
ports, than that prepared by the State Su-
perintendent clf Education therefore, be it
Resolved, That the thanks of the teachers
of this County are specially due, and are
hereby rendered to our worthy School
Commissioner for the invaluable work he
has done, both for us as teachers and for
the schools of the County.
A resolution was unanimously adopted
endorsing the action Of the County Board
of Examiners in not having Teachers
Institute last year, and expressing the
confidence of the Association in County
Board of Examiners in making proper
provision for an Institute when one shall
be needed.
The meeting was closed with prayer by
Rev. ]. T. Smith. The next meeting will
be held in May, and promises to be the
most interesting one ever held.

when they got there they give it to the
man That had never been sniping, sta
toned him in the bottom of an old drain
ditch, told him to hold the sack open and
be sure not to make any fuss, that they
were going up the ditch to scare the
snipes down into the sack. But instead
of going up the ditch they turned around
and came back home. The man stood
there in the mud and water for over All

The boys had gone and left him in a place
that he had never been into before, and it
was as dark as stack Of black cats. Be
