he Of Interest.
Green wood S. c., JapI2, 1893.
The holidays being over all are settling
down again to business. They were observed
mar. Not an accident occurred. Almost ev-
cry one had their friends to dine with them,
and enjoyed an interchange OF presents. On.
ly a few entertainments for the deyotees OF
terpSichore were given.
Prof Wilson and DR.. Neel have returned
from a business trip TO Chattanooga. Tenn.
There are so many visitors in town we Will
doubtless overlook some, therefore We are
tempted to leave off all personal mention lest
some should take offense.
THE D1spENsARY.
Some may complain of the Tillmanite Leg
islature per force Of habit, but without being
sycophantic we thank them that In their leg
islation against the towns, Green wood, the
citadel Of their opposition, was overlooked.
Neither of their much criticised acts will be
specially injurious 10 us. The one OF prohi-
biti0n will not affect US at all. We have no
bonded debt dependent on the revenue from
whiSkey, and have no fears but that we can
as heretofore get all we want without much
Inconvenience, even II the Evans bill be-
comes law.
