Her Good Council Her Good Crops
Visitors Going and Coming

| Coronaca, S. c.. August q, 1894.
| From the present outlook The wet spell bid
fair to be quite as long AS the dry one OF few
weeks ago. Rain rain! rain Is the univeI
sal complaint. We can scarcely do anything
at all. However the crops are looking yer,
we'll. Corn Is finer than II has been here Ii
years. especially upland corn. Cotton, too. /
| full of young fruit and prospects for GRO
are very bright. Some of our farmers thinl
them finer than they have been since '82.
but sad to say there Will be no second crop thl
year. Owing to an excess OF rain. the vine
are completely at the mercy OF the grass, ant
are consequently unable 10 put on a secont
crop as usual.
Our town boasts of a very industrious towr
council. The present one ordered ont about q
dozen hands during the early part of last weel
ity OF the streets. One new street was opened
up, and viii he In very fine condition In
few days. The members Of the council speal
OF doing some more work on them at an early
date. We certainly appreciate their earnes
efforts, anu look forward to the time wher
the town Will, by their perseverance, be much
improved.

him much success. Nearly all OF our young
men have gone away from here TO do business

whether We owe him any special thanks, al

attractions and peculiar ties that bind him tc
this place. Here the girl question enters, and
leave 1t with Jack.
Coronaca has only few young people, but
though few they be. they meet right often
and spend some very pleasant evenings to
gether. Among the most pleasant OF this
summer was the one spent at the residence OF
Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. klugh, July the 18th
very unfavorable. We had an exceptionally
large and interesting crowd. We noted with
pleasure the presence OF Misses Annie and
Mamie Major, OF Greenwood, and also that o.
Miss Minnie Klugh Of the Quarry. Everything
was bright and pleasing within. Everybody
seemed iull Of lie and spirits. Our host and
hostess were exceedingly pleasant, and made
the evening all the more ightful. They Seem
70 take special interest in the enjoyment o
our young people, and always welcome US to
their home and treat us with the utmost
kindness and hospitality. Well situated and
elegantly fitted up, they offer US peculiar
charms. and these are frightened by their
kind and friendly bearing toward US. Re
freshnents. consisting Of Ice cream and cake
were served and enjoyed very much by al
present. We take this opportunity OF show
Ing our appreciation of, and OF expressing our
thanks for, the delightful evening spent a.
their home.
