Lebanon Items,

Several weeks have gone by and we
have looked in vain for the appearance OF
locals from this section, 80 this morning,
while we can't be at work on our farm,
lowing to the heavy fall of rain last night)
we will attempt to rake up few items
nothing Of great interest though, we assure
you.
We wish to correct a slight mistake of
one of the locals of last weeks issue, In
regard to the work of Mr.. C. P. Rogers. in
this neighborhood. It was stated that
nice dwelling house for Mr.. Edward Smith,
in the Five Forks section, and has COM
menced one for Mr.. Matthias. Richardson
in the same section. Mr.. Rogers Is good
carpenter, and always gives satisfaction to
those who employ bim." We would like
to know why that correspondent made
such miatake? The house of Mr. Edwin
Smith was erected by Mr.. NJ. M. Morris,
and only the painting of it was done by
Mr.. Rogers. And be was just simply
painting Mr.. Richardson's old dwelling.
Mr. Rogers is very coed painter, but II
he is carpenter your correspondent is not
aware oft.
Mr.. ]. B Douthits fine dwelling house
Is near completed, and we can truthfully
say there are not many more substantial
houses In Anderson than Mr.. Douthit's
Mr.. Henry Reeves did the building Of it,
Both of these gentlemen are experts at their
profession, and We are sure OF perfect satis-
faction on the part of those who are 30 for.
tunate as to secure their work.
Farmers are contemplating q warm
skirmish with general green" In the near
future, and your correspondent thinks well
they may. for bis force Is scattered all over
the face Of our crops. Some OF the farmers
have not yet buried their fertilizers, while
others are nearly ready to commence thin
ming cotton. Well. there Is one consola.
ton to those behind-they will save one
working.
Small grain is looking very we'll now
better than we expected few weeks age.
Sickness is very prevalent in this section
just now. and DR.. Duoworth is very busy.
We would give you the names Of those
who are on the sick list. but thet are so
many we will not commence:
Mrs. 81. M. Reeves, of the city 6fAnder-
son, is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
8. W. Smith, Of this place.
We understand that one or two of our
citizens went on the excursion to Atlanta
the other week. We do not know what
kind of report they have to make for
themselves.
Next Saturday and Sunday are the
preaching days at this place by the pastor,
Rev. W. B. Hawkins. We hope there
will be large attendance both days. 1t
seems that this Church contains some OF
the most ungodly members that can be
found anywhere. They swear and curse
and lie and drink, and then when they are
told Of 1t, they just laugh and say. 30, It's
no HARM" Certainly babylon Is fallen, is
fallen! and has become the habitations OF
devils, and Of every hateful and unclean
bird.
Yours, one who knows and is not afraid
to tell it. ~

Local Breezes from Brushy Creek

Owing to the abundance Of rain, farm
ing operations were at stand still for
seven or eight days of the last two weeks
and farmers are considerably behind.
Nearly every one, though, had part of his
will be ready to work out as soon as he
can get to it. So they'll just keep hust-
ling-unhitch from the planter and hitch
to the cultivator. No idle bread in the
next few weeks for the man who makes
his living by the sweat Of his brow, pays
his debts and goes to Sunday School, and
God deliver US from the other fellow.
He goeth about among his fellow men
with his Sunday shoes on. He approach
eth them with smile, setteth himself
down hardly and hindereth them from
their labor. He knoweth little about
everything and talketh without ceasing.
He selleth rotten eggs and sick chickens,
known by all the people round about.
His garments he obtained on credit and
they fit him. He studieth by day and by
night whom he may beat and goeth
straightway and beats him. His credi-
tors are many, yea he is debtor both to
the merchant and the farmer, but the one
upon whom he now feedeth is the only
one in the lot Of whom he speaketh no
evil, land be, poor devil, will fade into
insignifcance whom he asketh for his
pay.) He bloweth about how his crop
groweth, and goeth about seeking whom
he may deceive that he might fall upon
them for the loan of measure Of flour.
Verify, his ways are ways Of crookedness
and all will rejoice when he is no more.
The Messrs. Long & Mauldin have the
thanks of the travelling public and bicycle
riders especially, for several new bridges
put down last week. Our roads are now
in tolerable good order.
We have been requested to say that
"the Rev. J. v. Vermillion will preach at
Pisgah next Saturday night, commencing
at o'clock.
Sunday was the hottest day we have
had yet. One Of our bicycle boys who
tried to out run thunder shower in the
afternoon says that his collar buttons
melted out, and I reckon it's 30, for he
lost his collar.
at the new Church, erected by Mr.. ".
s. Murphy near his residence, there will
be singing next Sunday, exercises COM
mencing at 8 o'clock, and preaching at 2
o'clock In the afternoon. The public COR
daily invited.
Those of our farmers who gathered
their pea crops struck a streak Of luck.
They are selling for 81 per bushel without

News is scarce this week.

Eureka Pic Mic.


On the third of May,
a beautiful day,
The school at Eureka was out;
We did not cry,
Nor were we shy,
But our opinion OF the same did londly
shout.
We clamored long
With voices strong,
For day at the teachers homo;
She readily cited
That We were all invited
To come, and to do as we chose.
We hied away,
We could not stay,
For High in the heavens was the morn.

We went to meet
The friends we'd greet,
On this our pic mic day OF fun.
With dresses neat
And faces sweet,
The 'chaps" assembled from far and near;
They came along
With laugh and song
They we're tired, but for that they shed no
tear
In circles round

For mum blepeg's amusement we'd beg;
Twas very nice
Till all 10 thrice,
We were told TO get down and "root the

As to age and the fun 1t could trin2;
Old "FoI and Goose"
All come through,
With whcop we mads tile welkin ring.
The morning waued
And noon time came,
When we assembled under large oak tree;
To eat the cake
The fair ones make,
That 30 pleases the little ones like me.
Later We strolled
Der pleasant knolls.
To the rugged hills on Broadawsy's bank;
We sat on the rocks
Regardless of frocks,
With "brats" in our front, and "brats" on
our flank.

Yet We kept our seat
And did not leave
Till the evening sun was getting low.

Though clothes We rent,
To be in time for the candy pulling;
In spite Of care
They messed their hair,
And when at home they may have gotten

The little boys race
In bags to their waist,

They hoped, they jumped,
They fell. they bumped,
The shole crowd clapped their hands in

Our pic mic day was psssed,
And ae said good. bye among the trees;
Then homeward bound
With joyful sound
With tired feet and limbs, yet we were

Bratcher met most horrible death at her
home in the Due West section the latter
part of last week. The young lady, with
a woman living on the plantation, were
in the bottom lands, near a creek, cutting
down corn stalks and burning them.
While thus engaged the girls clothing
The woman ran to her assistance, and
after doing all in her power to subd1e the
flames, carried the girl to the creek and
Immersed her in the water. This put out
the flames, but the girl continued scream
ing and crying and saying she was irygreat
pain. The woman then carried the girl
home, and in taking the wet and burned
clothing from her person it was discovered
that large hole was burned in her side.
A physician was called in and everything
possible was done to alleviate the pain OF
the poor girl, but she only lived five hours.
The Atlanta Journal, Of last Saturday,
pays the following compliment to young
lady who is we'll known In Anderson, and
who is grand daughter of Mrs. McSmith,
OF this city: "Miss Daisy Badger, OF
Macon, has been spending few days in

city few weeks later to give recital here.

but her appearance will undoubtedly be
attended with success"
