Monday a check for s., 900, the amount
of her late husbands insurance in the
American Legion of Honor. Mr.. Par
ish died on May 6, last.
Should be Studied Carefully.
The communication of "Citizen" in
another column is worthy of careful
attention. "Citizen" intimates that
he is one of the owners of the graded
school building, and from what he has
to say, it is easy to see that he knows
something about business.
Complimentary German.
Quite pleasant german was given
in Bratton's hall last Friday night by
the young men of Yorkville compli-
mentary to Mr.. and Mrs. E. R. McEl-
wee. 1t was participated in by -
couples and was led by Mr.. I. w.
johnson and Miss Macatee.
The Outlook is Bright.
With two practical, matter-of-fact
business men at its head, the success
full future of the Baptist High school
now seems to be assured. There is
lots of good substantial testimony to
the effect that Revs. Petty and Gresh-
am constitute strong combination.
Alliance Meeting Postponed.
President Evans has postponed the
annual meeting Of the State Alliance
appointed for July p. The postpone
ment was made on account of the

ing to be held at Tirzah on July 25
and 26.
Hail Near Blairsville.
There was destructive hail storm
two miles south of Blairsvlle on Tues
day evening of last week at about 8
o'clock. Mr.. H. J. Sherrer's crop was
almost totally destroyed, and the crops
of J. NJ. Russell, E. B. Mitchell and
others were damaged so badly that
they cannot yield over one-third, if
anything at all.
Forty Coming Wonders.
Nelson Davies, the well-known COL
ored house painter, has made his debut
as an artist. At the Zion church last
Friday night, he exhibited a series of
paintings of his own execution which
he calls the Forty Coming Wonders.
The pictures are on canvas about 4x6
feet in size, and are intended as Illus
trations of the visions of John on Pat
mos. They are very we'll executed
and reflect considerable credit on the
conception and skill of the artist.
Escaped-Re- e-Captured-Licked.
Bill Massey, colored, one of the
county chain gang convicts, sentenced
at the last term of court to 10 months
for stealing pair of pantaloons from
Mr.. Ed Shannon, made his escape last

All of the farmers have used large
quantities of homemade manure.
They have large areas of peas sowed,
and are raising a great many hogs.
All crops are looking splendidly, and
the prospect for the whole section in

that has existed at tn is time for quite
a number of years.

Losing Money.
The Spartanburg dispensary failed
to pay expenses during the month OF
June. The failure is attributable large
ly to the nearness of North Carolina,
and the fact that "blind tigers" can
sell whisky cheaper.

The Greenville News estimates that
the trial of ]. Minis Sullivan for the
murder of Herman G. Gilreath, cost
Greenville county in the neighborhood
of $4,000.

The increase of one year over tn

other is marked and steady. At the
same rate, within a few years more,
the county will be raising all the meat
it consumes, and probably some to
spare. The figures are full of encour-
aging significance.

CHAPTER XVI


A winter ofunusual severity was that
which followed upon the heels Of q
summer campaign that had been full Of
lively excitement for Tlntop and the
regiment. Once more, however, tho
spirit Of social gaycty was abroad, and
the Christmas holidays were merry
with many charming function. Hops,
germans, dinners and luncheon-partles,
thcatricnls, MINISTRIES and soldier
balls, day after dry and night after

plenty to do at the fort and little to

TO Morgan became ipfrequent. There
was just one man at the post whom no
gale could daunt, no storm could con-
auer, and that was Sehramn.
Every one knew that Morgan was
slowly growing feebler. "lIc ought to
