Fine Animals.
Mr.. Winchester Mcdaniel, OF
the West side, has a number OF
fine colts that for beauty, size, and
points cannot be equalled this

region at that-and he has Jersey
calf that would have weaned the
children of Israel away from their
golden calf.
An Earthquake.
Last Friday about 6 O'Clock in
the morning we had bona fide
shock of earthquake. It wasn't
severe enough to make US run out
of our houses, as was stated in one
of the newspapers, but it was a
distinct shock, accompanied by the
old familiar roar, and We hear
plaster was shaken d ,wn and things
ratified considerably in several
houses in our village.

A New Departure.
Mr.. John G. Morgan, living near
Parksville, and one of the best
farmers in the country, proposes to
make a new departure this year in
farming. He intends to plant his
land in alternate rows of cotton
and speckled peas. He thinks
he'll make nearly as much cotton
this way, and have the peas addi-
tional, and gain much in improv-
ing his land with the humus and
ammonia furnished by the pease.
A neighbor of Mr.. Morgan's made
like experience last year and was
highly pleased with the result.
In Love.
The Mccormick News tells of a
counting dude in that section
supposed to be an Edgefeld youth
-''who goes to see young widow
from Dornsville, and every time
for an excuse he goes about three
miles out of the way. While he
is talking to the gay widow he is
30 enrapt in conversation and love
he leaves one of his leggins, and
goes back the next few days and
calls to get them, but the sprightly
widow could not find but one, but
he ssys, 1 will take that sne, ] will
call and get the other one in a few
days"
