Why do the waters in Greer
Lake appear so green? Is a ques
ton we have often heard asked
Our solution is that it is caused
by the reflection of the sandy
bottom. Yellow and blue make
green. The yellow reflected from
the bottom intermingling: with
the reflection Of blue from thu
sky cause the green appearance,
sof the lake. Few lakes have sucl
clear sandy bottoms as Greer
Lake.
DR.. Johnson wishes us to an
nounce that all insinuations to tn,
effect that he has advised OF
threatened any other doctor no
to locate at New London is false
He said that DR.. Adams, VIII

to see his books to find out tn,
amount and range Of his practic,
while at New London and that hi.
impression of the interview wa.
that Mr.. Adams would locate.
The excitement this week wa.
the ringing Of the fire-bell las
Monday. Ringing the fire-bel
has about the same effect will
the people of our town as pokine
a hole in an ant hill-they come
out in swarms.. The barn of tn

was on fire, but as it was on tn

not be reached by the waite:
