The weather for the new year has been
tracking out astonishinsly well the PRO.
granme furniahed her by the Rev. Irl i.
Hicks. Excep. for The four last storm
days she has furnished an interluGe Of
three or four days Of bright, merry sun
shine. A few more days OF such weather
and our farmer friends will be busily en-
gagged in sowing oats, none of which are
yet sown, except those put in in the fall.
The ''grippe' haa been active on its ram
pago in the Corner The past week and

esteemed neighbors: On the evening of

leaving behind daughter and two sons
to mourn her departure. Tie funeral OBJ.
seqnies were conducted by the Rev. r. c.
Ligon Mt Good Hope Church, after which
the remains were ertonbed in the ceme-
terry near b.. On tho morning of tie
23rd tbs news wcs rapidly spread abroad
of the death OF Mrs. Lofts, urdeT tie
most painful and distressing circum-
stances. Less than year ago she was the
happy bride of Mr.. Jas. Lofts. At the
time Of her sickness and death che was at
the residence of MIR. C. S. Lofts for the
purpose of attending the wants and neccs-
sises Of a sister on bed OF af1lic:ion, and

posed for the last two wec'-s.
Miss IVA Cook was the unfortunate re-
cipient Of another fall, or tumble, froNl
buggy last Saturday, but wa are glad to be
able to chronicle no injury except y mud
stained dress.
Mr.. Lem. Reid, the former depot agent
at this place, who loft here last fail for
Newberry, has returned to his first lore.
Lem. says there is no town to equal
Cooi:'s, aud he has come bao; , stay. He
is now associated in the drug store at this
place. He probably did not make Jig
money while he was aws,,-, hit lie comes
back with the developmn:. of all idea,
from which, ifhe succeeds in getting let
ters of patent on, be raay in the early fu-
ture reap fortunes. IT is kind of
cleansing apparatus-5ut Us to the psrtic-
ulars none but very dear friends, or per
sons of considerable capital, need apply.
A little party of our citizens were treated
to quit an entertainment on Monday night.
The programme consisted of accrobatic
leapipg and tumbling. The star per.
FORMERS were Messrs. Dick Townsend and
Tom Jackson. If they were only fitted
up with modern spring boards; &C., there
is no telling how high up, and how many
times over these boys could go. ;s
