OCr 29.-We had q conside, abl, thunder
storm with rain and hail last Friday night,
though but little damage was done. We ex-
pecied cold snap when it cleared off, but TO
our surprise it cleared up warm, and the
weather since has been lovely. Farmers arc
having good chance to gather in their crops
aud they are making good use of it, but
have never seen them so blue in all my life.
They hardly know what sort of plans 10 lay
for another year. Wise plans are certainly
necessary with concert of action, one man
or even neighborhood can't accomplish any
thing. =
DR.. Jerome Miller exhibited n certificate
in our town last week from MIR. Munro
Kirby, of North Pacolet, that he, Miller. had
cured a cancer on his wifes hand about two
years ago, and that il hal never returned.
The DR.. says he is now prepared TO treat
cancers, and can cure them every time. lie
warns all others not to infringe upon his
rights nor 10 use his medicine as he is de-
termincd to protect his practice in this grand
and noble work of saving suffering humanity.
Mr.. Ed Fowler, of Joncsvi L., and Miss
Julia Foster, of Cherokee Springs, Spartan
burg County, were married at the residence
of Mr.. II. II. Coleman, near Jonesville last

Mr.. Joseph Harper, who lived few miles
above Joncsvillc died last Tuesday. lie was

Mrs Francis Lemons, widow of w. Il.
Lemons, who lived few miles below Jones'
Vile died last Sunday. Mrs. Lemons had
been in bad health for some time.
Less than four years ago my wife and
visited Mr.. Lemons, who then lived at Star
Farm, his family consisted Of three, himself
wife and daughter. They seemed to be a
happy family and the hearts of the parents
seemed to be centered upon their daughter
and only child who was about IA years of
age. They afterwards moved to Union and
the daughter sckened and died which al
most crazed the father and mother with
grief They moved to the country near Beth
lehem chuI ch, and not long afterwards Mr..
Lemons died. This double bereavement
grieved Mrs Lemons so much that she ex-
pressed desire to die anu te with her
loved ones. She refused to be comforied
by friends, loved ones or the preachers
who visited her, and finally her grief over
came her, and she passed away. So this
happy family, III less than four short years
have all died.
