ANDREWS, Sept. 2O.-No rain has fallen
on us yet, but instead of being hot and
dry. it is quite cool out this way, and
water is getting scarcer every day.
Stubhle land can not be turned and
farmers are going to be late sowing
their wheat.
Mr.. Sanders, with his road hands and
"shack," was moved to Mr.. Silas Jones
grove last Friday, and the poor unfor-
tunate convicts are now pecking rock
on the Iron bridge road. They finished
up a good pike out this way, with the
exception of about three quarters of a
mile, which the citizens will complete.
So now there is as good a road leading
out to Leftwich Bridge from Columbia
as in any other direction, of which the
citizens all along its route feel Justly
proud.
Messrs. Marshall and Goad have drill
ed to the depth of one hundred feet at
| Union GROVE school house, without
| finding water. Some one was unkind
enough to drop rock into the hole last
week, filling up several feet, which had
to be drilled out. 1t is strange fun, that
must put some one else to so much
trouble. -

More Than 1t Was Worth.

In the language of the street,
money talks" but there are in
stances on record in which talk is
money. By means of the long-d;s-
lance telephone conversation can
be carried on between two persons
hundreds of miles apart. Such con-
versation is rather expensive, how
ever, and is restricted, as rule, to
matters of urgent necessity, and no
time is allowed to go to waste, for
this is a case in which time also is
money.
A young man in st. Louis, finding
time hanging heavily on his hands,
dropped into a telephone exchange
and asked to he put in communica-
ton with a friend in an Eastern
city. After a short delay the con-
nection was made, and the following
conversation took place:
Hello, Fletch! Do you hear me?"
Yes"
This is Sid. Thought I'd call
you up"
"Glad to hear from you, Sid. How
are you?"
"First-rate. How's things?n
"CalOoshus. What's new?"
"Oh, nothing especially. Hadn't
anything to do, you know, and
thought I'd call you up"

Yes (Another pause.) Every

"WrOng Yet True.

This, from an exchange, is wrong,
yet true: Let boy fall-all hands
and hearts are at his command for
redemption's sake He is some
bOdy's darling. That is right. 1t is
always right to save fallen creature
of any kind. Every mothers heart
is bleeding for him. Every sister is
shedding tears for him, the church
is open for him if he manifests the
slightest inclination to return to
the path of rectitude. If he does re-
turn he is white-rObed and banque-
ted-a prodigal son returned. But
what of a girl? If she falls whose
tears are shed, whose doors are open,
what mother and sister weep, what
father and minister pray for her?
She is hopeless Outcast. This is
the exact state of things. Why do
women spurn those Of their own sex
upon whom the heavy hand of mis-
fortune has fallen, and the same day
taking the same man, who brought
her disgrace upon her, by the hand
to redeem him? There is an un-
solved mystery in all this, and il a
lady can explain how the female
race has such hatred for an outcast
of her own sex when a man in all
probability is the cause of the down
fall, we would be pleased to hear it,
Why not save fallen women as quick
or quicker than men? But not So
She is stunned and scoffed at and
shut out forever, and her soul is lost
while her own sex will extend a for
giving heart and open hand to the
fallen man. This is terrible wrong
