twas our good pleasure to attend the
musical entertainment given by the
Clemson Cadet Band, assisted by the
Quintet Club, of this city, at Clemson Col

ment took place in the spacious chapel of
the College, and was attended by an
audience numbering probably five hun
dred persons, large parties OF ladies
and gentlemen being present from this
city, Pendleton, Seneca and the country

The program consumed about two
hours, aud was as follows:

The audience was very appreciative and
loudly applauded each selection. Mr..
Joe Miller's songs fairly captivated ev-
erybody, and each time he appeared on
the rostrum he was vigorously encored.
The cornet solos by Mrs. Ruddock were
also very highly appreciated. In fact,
the program throughout was interesting.
The College Band is composed of six
taen members, and have very fine set
of instruments. They have been under
training only a-few weeks, under the tu-
torship of Prof. j. w. Trowbridge, OF this
CITY, but play remarkably we'll. Of the
members, three are from this County
Cadets Bailey and Frank Breazeale and

pistol ball had passed through pane of
glass and over her bed, just little above
where she was sleeping all unconscious OF
danger. The bullet struck the edge of the
mantle, splintered the wood and then fell
to the floor. The ball was from 80 cali
bre pistol. When she found how narrowly
she and her babies had escaped the peril of
the night, she was naturally very much
alarmed, and it was impossible for friends
and neighbors to dissuade her from the
belief that it was the brutal work of de-
sign. They tried to persuade her that it
could hardly be possible there was fiend
in our midst that would attempt her life,
and that it must have been the result of
miserable, crimiually- careless shooting, of
whic!l wo hear so much and read SO much
every whore these days. Mrs. Mcdowell
tplegraphed her husband who was on the
G. c. and A. road, and he came over Sat-
urday night fast as his train could fetch
him 1t transpired the next day that the
shn0tng was done by some negro boys
who acre said to have been firing at an
iron post on Gauntt street, about two
hundred yards away"

We are having bad weather on cotton.
Cotton ia up to good stand and for the
past week has been growing off nicely,
but at this writing it looks sick, as it is al
most cold enough for frost. Corn is look.
ing fine. Wheat is very good considering.
We notice some wheat that has the rust
badly. Fall oats are not so good. If rain
continues spring oats are going to be very
good. Gardens, as a general thing, are
some later than usual through this section.
We enjoyed eating our first mess of beans
and Irish potatoes on the goth inst. Fry
ing chickens are plentiful.
The health of this community is very
good at this writing.
The people, as general thing, are badly
behind with their work.
All who attended the pic mic at Erwin's
mill, the 18th inst, report very nice
time.
Mrs. Joe Lewis and Mrs. NJ. I. Brook,
of Honea Path, s. O., made short call
on friends in this section during the past
week.
Politics are very quiet.
We notice during the past week that
several of the roads through this commu'
nity haze been worked for the first time in
quite while. We are law.abiding peo-
ple-at least We claim to be-but at the
same time we do not carry out the eight
day road law as we should. Now, no
doubt, some one will say that I am too old
to have to work and want other people to
do the work, but am not. 1t Is true l
am getting little gray, but nevertheless L
am not near dead yet.
To eve drop any one is something l
don't approve of myself, but at the same
time can't help it sometimes. The 1ol-
very loving looking couple. I heard him
murmur softly: "Will you give me an
answer to night, as you promised me you
would do 2" She, putting her trem bling
hand to her blushing face, and being 30
excited, says: Are you going?" It seems
that she had promised him heretofore that
she would answer some important ques'
tion which he had asked her.
SUCH IS LIFE.

Cod weather came on US very suddenly
last Saturday. The wind blew hard all
day from the West, and the thermometer
kept going down all day, and for Two or OF
three hours late in the afternoon it fell

night. The next morning the thermome,
ter was down to forty-two, and that Is cold
enough for frost, and it came, Cotton was
bitten a little, and some other things,
such as potatoes, okra, &c. If this cold
spell continues it will damage the cotton
considerably. 1t will be lousy, puny, big
