Mr.. EDITOR: To chronicle the news
items in community and so word it as
to make it interesting to your numerous
readers is g task hard to accomplish, and
one which this scribe will not essay to do,
bntwith your permission and requesting
the forbearancs of those who may see fit
to read them, we propose, from timet to
time, to mention such events and hap
penings as may come under our ohserva-
ton, or that we may catch on the wing.
Cupid has for little while swayed his
victorious sceptre over this community
with such unrelenting stubbornness that
as an inevitable consequence quite d
number Of our fair, sweet maidens have,
j sikneeling at Hymen's altar, pledged un.
dying love and constancy to the noble
young men of their choice, each believ-
ing that they had the best, noblest, hand
soonest Of them all. $50 mote it be-"
What pity would it be should those
sweet dreams fail Of realization.
And still they continue. Cards are out
for the marriage of Miss Mary A., the
beautiful and accomplished daughter Of
our neighbor, Mr.. T. r. Simpson, of Dem
yer, S. c., on the evening of the 26th inst.
to Mr.. Walter Pruitt. very worthy
young gentleman from Annie, s. c.,
who is fortunate in securing for his life
partner one SO richly endowed with ma
tnre's gifts and cultured mind. Thus it
is the Great Ruler accomplishes his all
wise purposes. Thus it has ever been
consummatsd since our Savior honored
at with his presence and blessing at Cana
in Galilee.
Mr.. Hampton Carpenter, who has been
teaching at this place for the past month
or two, left us few days ago for High
land Falls, n. Y, preparatory to enter

ter made host of friends during his
short stay with us and reluctantly we
bade him goodbye, to go where duty
calls to higher heights on the ladder of
fame. Mr.. Carpenter has been succeeded
as teacher at this place by Mr.. r. G.
Hamilton, of Union County, graduate
ofClemson College, and a young man of
tine attainments and fully equipped to
..teach the young idea how to shoot

and will be present at the marriage Of
their neice and cousin, Miss Mary Simp-

The family of Mr.. A. B. Bowden have
been seriously i'll recently with pneu-
monia, but latest reports indicate i'm
provement.
We note the recent appointment of our
friend and neighbor, Mr.. J. w. Rothrock,
as member of the board of control of
Anderson County for the dispensary.
Since We have the law on the Statute
book, we know OF no one moro compe-
tent and worthy to discharge the duties
of the office than he.

And now, Mr.. Editor, lest we weary you

for this time, so as to save something for
our next, and during the interval hope to
learn something OF more interest to your
readers than this. INcoG.
