OVER THE COUNTY.

Farmers from every section of the
county report the growing wheat as
extremely promising.
Hogs are dying with cholera in
several neighborhoOds of this county.
1t is most gratifying to learn that
the growing crops are all doing well
at this date.
1t now seems iminent that another
plague is going to play havoc with
the crops this year. Not only in this
county, but in Giles and other sur
rounding counties, the army worms
have arrived in vast amounts; also a
small yellow and black fly. This is
the first time in years that Giles
county has been thus stricken.

more accrostics just now. Enough
of good thing is enough.

Mrs. w. T. Irvine, with her two
grandchildren and their nurse, were
returning to their home, near Car
ter's Greek, from Columbia last Mon
day, and thought they were driving
a perfectly safe horse. Just before
reaching home they stopped at a
branch for the horse to drink. When
he had finished drinking, Mrs. Irvine
tapped him to start him on; instead
of starting he began kicking, and
continued that performance until he
had turned the buggy over and freed
himself from it. Mrs. Irvine's wrist
was sprained by the fall, and the
oldest child was little bruised, but
the nurse and babe escaped unhurt.
Miss Ida Mai Fitzgerald, our
charming "Zula, favored us with a
call last Tuesday, and frightened
our office with some beautiful
flowers.
In the absence of Barbara, "

wish all our correspondents would
take the pains to leave such substi-
tutes at home when they leave.
