Mr.. Editor, we like the ring of Mr..
Ashley's article in your valuable paper,
let him be anti or what not. Suppose he
was an anti, we don't pretend to suppose
that he wonld be poison. Honest Josh
thought when he was voting for reform
measures that be was right, and bis con-
stituents really meant reform. But 10 !!
There, we'll stop, for we did not expect to
say word for fear we would boil over.
Mrs. Rosin De Bow sends her sincere
thanks to Mrs. E. P. Earle for the e1-
uuisite bouquet she received the other
day. What is more lovely than beautiful
flowers, and who don't love flowers?
President Lincoln was once presented with
lovely bouquet of flowers by young
lady, end he took them and admired them,
and told the young lady, In all politeness,
that the best thing he knew to do with the
bouquet was to make her apresent OF them
back.
Death has again entered our midst and

connected with the Presbyterian Church
and lived a pious, upright life. We sympa-
thize with the bereaved family.
Mr.. D. A. Ledbetter and wife, of Ander.
son, s. c., came up the other day to visit
their grandmother, Mrs. H. T. Brown,
who has been very sick, but We are glad to
note she is much better.
Mr.. E. P. Earle Lost fine mare and colt
the other night.
Mr.. J. b. Hansey lost fine milch cow
the other day. The neighbors ought to
help Mr.. Hsnvey buy another cow, as he
is q very deserving man. What good are
neighbors anyhow, if they don't help
each other?
Miss Kate Holleman, our efficient assis.
tant teacher, spent good Friday in the

The patent churn men have besieged
this place insomuch they take one gallon

Last Saturday afternoon Mrs. Sarah
Pearman, wife of Hon. 8. N. Pearman,
died at her home near this city, in Broada-
way Township, and the announcement OF
her death was great shock to many
friends and acquaintances, who were not
aware that she was seriously Ill. She had
long been afflicted with consumption, but
it was not until few months ago that her
loved ones realized that the disease was
likely to prove fatal. On Sunday after
noon her remains were buried Ia the Meals
Greek Chu.chyard, the funeral services
being conducted by Rev. o. L. Martin:
Mrs. Pearman was the eldest daughter OF
Mr.. Joshua Pruitt, of this County, and
was about 40 years of age. In her child.
hood she joined the Baptist Church, and
throughout her life was faithful and con-
sistent Christian. She was devoted wife,
an affectionate mother and kind neigh
bor, who was ever ready to comfort the
sick and give to the needy. As conse-
quence, when the Angel of Death came
with his summons she was prepared to en-.
ter that eternal home where sorrow and
sffliction are never known. A husband
and six children are left to cherish her
memory, and in their sore bereavement
they have many sympathizers.

From a CoIored Subscriber.

Mr.. EDITOR: Please allow me space In
your paper to report some of the things we
are doing in the Rock Mills section. A
good many of our people are constant
readers of your paper. We cannot help
but admire your unstinted manner of con.
condemning the bad and commencing the
good in both races. We are hard at work
on our farms we are determined to make
and save something this year. Joe Ed
wards is going to plant saventy-hve acres
in cotton besides planting enough corn,
peas and rice to do him-others are doing
lust as we'll. We have learned to raise
nearly all We need here at home. We
have not neglected our school either, for
we have realized that the training We give
our children is worth more than all the
property we are able to give them. The
patrons of the Mt. Sinai school met and
organized an auxiliary Board of Trustees
to help build q school house and co operate
with the trustees of the school district in
running the school. 81. D. Wakefield
was elected chairman of the Board. We
intend to do all We can towards building
the school house and making the school
a success. The trustees Of the Savannah
school have promised to help US.

The next regular meeting Of the Wo.
mans Union of District No. 2, Saluda AS.
sociation, will be held Saturday before the
fifth Sunday in April. We beg large at
tendance, full delegation, and reports
from societies. As we were prevented
from holding our meeting three months
ago, We trust that the societies will feel 1t
their duty to double their contribution at
this meeting; especially since there are
such demands upon US now for means to
carry ON the Masters work.
It has been suggested, as the claims are
so varied, that it would be better fo- each
society, 10 sending their contribution to
decide and say for what purpose 1t shall be
used. II for Missions, whether State,
Home or Foreign Missions. If for educa-
ton, whether Ministerial aid, Greenville
Female College or some other like pur.
pose. We should not forget our Female
College. The education of our women is
matter of great Importance to every wo'
man of reasonable mind.
Our ladies will bear in mind that this is
the time for the re election of officers.
Please think about it, and be ready to act

brides mother. Rev. D. Weston Hiott
officiating. These young people start out
with bright prospect and have the best
wishes of many friends.
The wind is blowing very cold from
the northeast and fires are very comfor-
table. The warm spell that closed sew
eral days ago was remarkable weather
for March. It is the earlist Spring, up to
q few days ago, we have had In many
wears. A great deal Of corn has been
planted, and gardens are considerably
advanced. We fear the cold weather will
kill our fruit and vegetables. If it does
not we will have "garden sass" earlier
than usual. The small grain crops are
making q good showing, and even the
crab grass is up and growing, something
farmers don't remember ever seeing
before at this time of the year.
Our town is improving rapidly at
present. Some half dozen new dwellings
have gone up lately. The one being
built by Mr.. Hugh Mahaffy, when COM
pleted will be one of the best houses in
town. Williamson, In point o. health, is
second TO no town in the State, being

Well, MIR. Editor, as there has been
considerable length of time since "the
levep was last represented, We have
concluded to make small effort to
ssshow our color" but al the outset we
don't claim to have much of Importance
to detail, and what we have to say We
shall not 60 into it like hungry negro
into bowl Of clam soup but in our own
simple style.
Rainfalls in abundance in this section
so much now that we fear we will need
it badly before it comes later on, not
doubling, though, tho Lords power to
send it if He so wills.
Small grain crops are fourishing now.
If they will just continue 80 for while
longer a goodly harvest will be to reap,
and if they do not continue to flourish
some of us will have bourtlful supply
of oats to harvest-wild oets.
The MONDAY cackle of the hens, the
warbling Of the little birds, together with
the full-bloomed fruit trees and the rapid
swelling buds Of the forest, indicate that
fair Spring.time Is here to fill us with
Joy and gladness. What power nature
has over every living creature, even over
the trees Of the forest! How pleasant to
roam in shady paths and behold the
beautiful "monarchs of the forest" with
their dresses of deep green, some Of them
entWined with grape or muscadlne vine
with their branches full of life and vigor.
A while later and these vines will droop
beneath the load Of the precious fruit OF
which so much wine is made. With these
and thousands of other such refreshing
sceneries and blessings our hearts should
throb and send forth praises to the Giver
of them-notwithstan the great d
nancial depression. This panic will not
last much longer, in my opinion, and
peace and prosperity will be our portion.
Some few of our most forward farmers
have commenced to plant corn, While
others are standing back saying, 'Too
be more freezes yet" But what does
me good these prophets don't know any
more about it than some Of the rest of us
who don't know anything at all about
it. From what we can see through OBJ
seryance Of the weather we all had better
be putting in all possible time, if not at
one thing why put it in at something
else, for, Mr.. Editor, if you ever noticed,
about this time Of year there is very
likely to be some kind of weather or 9TH
6r.
Sweet potatoes are being bedded very
much on q large scale this season. So 1t
appears that the "hog and hominy raisers
are going to have something to eat and
something to eat with 1t.
Irish potatoes are beginning to burst
through into open air, and in fact, all
kinds of weeds are looking weu-espe-
oially hog weeds and others. So if you
ever wish to take little vacation just
harness up your horse, Mr.. Editor, and
come along. You can just turn your
horse loose on weeds and "settle" your
self down to some "slice-potato-do-me-
good" and anything you please to choose,
| iust so it is in our line Of rations.
Some of our citizens have Texas FEVER
at present, but as it happened to attract
them at such busy season, not mucn
fear is anticipated, as the fever Will nave
ample time to cool down before the rusn
is over.
