Our community was visited by good
rains last week, and as result everything
is greatly revived. It is generally con-
ceded, we believe, that cotton will be
about sixty per cent. Of crop, aud not
withstanding the depressed condition Of
affairs, we hear very little grumbling by
our farmers. We think enough corn will
be made for home consumption. Hogs
are also numerous. Fodder pulling is
over Cotton picking is the order. Tu.-
nip patches are receiving due attention.
Potatoes have been much benefited by the
rains, aud the outlook for good crop is
1atteripg.

in row. in which pistols were freely used
one night last week. O1e boy, son OF Joe
Edwards, was shot, but we are unable to
give the nature Of the wound or the par
ticulars concerning the fuss.
Mr.. Robt McGukln accidentally shot
himself with pistol q feT days ago. The
ball passed through his leg, just above the
knee. We are glad to note that he is get
ting along very well.
The health of our community is still
comparatively good.
The Union Meeting at Shiloh last Satur:
day and Sunday was largely attended, and
was harmonious and orderly throughout.
TheIntroductory sermon, preached by Rev.
J. r. Earle. was practical, thoughtful
discourse. The discussions on the differ
ent subjects were heartily engaged In by
Reys Earle, Alien, Merritt McLees and
Barton, eliciting the closest attention Of
the hearers. On Sunday the Missionary
sermon was preached by Rev. II. NJ. Allen
from the text, Thou shalt not Steal"
and more practical, thoughtful sermon
we never listened to. The preacher show.
ed conclusively that all the stealing was
not done on Wall Street that the hold
ing of one copper that did notjustly belong
to you, was just as contemplate in Gods
sight as if you had stolen million dol
lars; that the sharp practice engaged In by
MANY Church members is nothing more
nor less than stealing Misrepresentation,
taking advantage of mems necessities.
ignorance, &c, Withholding our dues to
our Maker, was robbing God, and when
brought to the last analysis means stealing.
and while it is possible for the guilty to go
unpunished in this world, the day would
come when retribution would be neted
out to him by that Judge who rules the
universe.
In the afternoon the people reassembled
and heard a splendid sermon by Rev
Morris Barton. Mr.. Barton is young
man, q student of Furman University,
and we think destined to be g star in his
denomination at no distant day. We were
struck with his timely, earnest, thoughtful
sermon, and trust that we see more Of him
soon.
