Eta JANE May last Saturday we
want gener,l rain, as partial showers are
not sufficient to relieve the want of thirsty
fields.
We had q arge turnout at our s. s. yes
teriay. W. seldom have as large congrc,
cations on rceachiug days.
The lQcasts have come, and "Ph-a roah
"Ph-a-rd is heard on every hand.
We milphave~plenty of grapes this year
il Uncle "Kiah" McKissick is any kind ol
proph.t. lie said if it didn't rain the
lst day of May the grapes would be oil
right
MIR. ". II. Wright, of Cowpens, has been
examining the Thomson mill property, now
owned by MIR. a. a. Sarratt, with view
of easing, buying, or repairing it, by put
ting up "roller milr' process for grinding
wheat. Mr.. W. is evidently we'll equipped
Tor his work. That is one of the most de-
sirable locations we know of, and we believe
it is the best investment that could be made
,, OF the money necessary to put up a hrs'
class mill.
Last week nearly all tho dogs in the
Sunnyside ncighborhood were bitten by q
mad dog. Mr.. Thomas Morris killed it in
his piazza while it was trying to get into
the house TO him. Fifteen or twenty dogs
all known to have been bitten were killed
the next day. Some of them were valuable
hunting as well MS guard dogs. Why don
cur Legislature pass n law that will compel
the owner to pay q tax of at least Sl.0C
per herd on every dog he keeps about him :
And apply it to school purposes.
Mr.. L. A. Goforth was visited last week
| by his brothsr.yr. Preston Goforth, o.
Kings Mountain, and Mr.. Charles L.
Lawton, practical miner, who is looking
| after some mineral lands belonging tC
the Goforth heirs near Kings Mountain
Battle ground with view of developing
them.
We regret to learn that our old friend and
comrade in.arms, William J. Vaughn, lost
his crib and other out houses together with
their contents, one night last week, by FIRE
This is cad calamity to befall poor man
or anybody else; but we gladly learn that
before the embers were coil wagons, bug
gies and footmcn, loaded with different
articles to supply his loss lin part at least
were moving to his relief. BILLY" is an
honorable, poor man, and how beautifully
and truthfully does Solomon describe his
situation when lie says: "A good name is
| rather to be chosen than great riches
The patriotic impulse that moves people
TO the assistance of fellow nan in such q
| Crisis Is truly 1.-The diviplty OF humanity.
The Thickety State guards drilled last
Saturday evening in two separate Sypois-
/ one at Gowdeysvillc, and the other al
Wilkiusville- 1t has so names on its roll
and the company has been accepted by the
Governor. We will say that there is q:
good grit in the company as in any com
mand in the State. We havn't heard o.
any gluten yet who proposes to drink all
| the blood TO be smiled There are now
| four military companies in our county
Now gentlemen, if yOu wish to succeed kecl
! nc!:.:cG 0u; oi your ranks. 1t is the EdeniC
| serpent that has crept into our families
destroyed our domestic peace and crippled
our sectional prosperity
When duty calls obey,
Be the cost what it may.
Let the world know by your actions tina
you will bow q knee to no being or .nfluenc,
save and except your God and he law,
| Of your country. NoX.
