Mr.. w. N. Wharton is visiting
relatives and friends around the
old homestead. He is very feeble
yet. We trust when the spring op.
ems he may be able to get about
better, but a mi at his age and
always used to active lite up to
that of last year and in a few
months got into such wretched
health it hurts more than in n
way.
MIR. Wharton will go to Aiken "a
soon as the weather will admit to
visit his son, Mr.. M. +. Wharton.
We were glad to see DR.. Williams
wright in our sanctum a few days
ago. The DIR. was down to turn
over the papers to the new Trustees
of the Wordsworth school. He
declined to serve us any longer as
he was too feeble to attend to the
business. We hope the present
ones will fill their places in the flu
turc as they have in the past, and
especially the one that will fill the
place of Dr.. Wright. Come again
Or. We are always glad to meet
your genial face.
Capt. b. H. PAISLEY found the
Gland of Flowers" a little nearer
than Florida and will farm, but not
extensively at High Point, N. c.,
in order to practice law at Judge
Moore's Courts at Waterloo. Mr..
PAISLEY has the sense and knows
the law and all he will have to do
is to get him a stiff hat and put on
a few city airs and then he may be
in it.
would like to call the attention
OF the Supervisor to the fact that
we or a part Of us want a bridge
over Beaverdam Greek as it is i'm.
passible these rainy days and as
the mail has to go our mail by
fails to carry and bring us the news
from that side. Please do what
you can as soon as you can as you
will greatly oblige at least a few,
and you are we'll aware of the
fact that we all like conveniences.
What little time we live for, it is a
few days, and full Of trouble and
then the fire works commence.
A few mornings ago at d O'Clock
we thought we heard Gabriel's horn
blowing but to our surprise it was
our friend B. A. Wharton with
twenty dogs going to Laurens CHI.
IN day time and on a fox hum with
his friend ]. w. D. Watts at night
on his return home. He was asked
If he caught anything, he said yes,
and he was then asked was it a red
or grey, he said neither one, it was
white. The gentleman then said
he never heard of a white fox when
Mr.. Wharton told him it was a
sheep and no doubt that is the
way a great many Of our sheep go.
Our neighbor T. S. league rang
his bell SO soon the other morning
we thought his house was on fire.
So the same occurred the next
morning and negroes say after
midnight he sets up and sleeps like
a chicken and every time he
wakes he pulls the bell cord. He
don't only disturb his own crowd,
but it is the ncighhorhood and we
the neighbors are going to take up
a collection to buy him an alarm
clock and trust that all will rest
better.
