ITEMS FROM LONG BRANCH.

Died, on the morning Of the 4th
inst, Mr.. James A. Jeanes, one of
the oldest and most highly re-
spected citizen of this community.
Deceased was in the 8Sth year of
his age, and during all his long
and useful life he was q true type
of q christian gentleman. He
leaves one son and two daughters
who have the sympathy of the en-
tire community in their sad be-
reavement.
Mr.. William Hipp, of Georgia,
a former resident Of this section,
who has been absent t~hirty-one
years has been visiting friends and
relatives in this community for
the past few weeks, and everybody
gives Billy q hearty welcome for
he is truly a good man. He car
ries one empty sleeve which is his
memento Of that mighty clash
of arms at Gaines Mill in 1862.
Miss Matte j. Blakeley, who
has been spending the winter with
relatives III Alabama has returned
home.
Mr.. J. X. Taylor, of Renfrae,
Alabama has come to spend the
summer with his sisters.
Mr.. j. Y. Shelton, who has been
spending awhile in Georgia has re-
turned home.
Miss Blanche Bennett, of Simp-
sonville, who has been spending
a few weeks at Mr.. j. II. Blakeleys
has returned home and some of
the boys look like they wouldn't
survive the shock but we think
they will. Miss Blanche must o
do so any more. She should either
come and stay, or go and stay.
Miss Mary Boyce, of Cross Hill,
is visiting the family of Mr.. Sam
uel j. Todd.
The pound party at Mrs. S. K.
Hipp's last week was a success, all
but Dr.. Godfrey's part, and he
had so many irons in the fire that
he was forced to hire a substitute.
And now dear little Pedestrians:
Children should keep quiet when
grown people are talking, for re-
member that you are to be seen,
rather than heard. When YOU
grow up a little and go to school
you will be a better hand to guess
at things.
There is some sickness in the
community, but DR.. Godfrey is
attending to that.

Planting time will soon be here,
but we are as near ready for it as
we ever were in our life. For |
never have seen before as much
work done in the way of blowing
than at present for the time of
year. Most all the land has been
broken, and cotton stalks run up,
besides a great many oats have
been in. The oats that were sown
in January have been considerably
thinned out by the cold weather.
| think however that there will be
enough left on the ground to make
a pretty fair yield.
In my last communication I
stated that we would reduce the
acreage III cotton one-half, but I
am sorry to have to state now.
such IS not the case. | believe
there will be a full crop put IN In
TACT some will plant more than
they did last year. That means 4
and . cents cotton next fall again.
AS for myself | shan't plant over
onc-half of what / planted last
year. | have noticed the farmer
who is out of debt and indepen-
dent is the one who has always
raised plenty of hog and hominy,
regardless of the low price of
cotton. There ire plenty of farm
ers III our county who got in debt
raising cotton when it was selling
for 10 conts; now how can they
hope to get out of debt, raising it
at 4 cents?

talks interestingly about the

that there is any very strong pro-

he considers the situation q NOM

opinion, the destruction of the

TO SUBSCRIBERS

A great many OF The ADVERTISERS
subscribers are in arrears,-many more
than usual. 1t is impossible for the pa
per to get along unless It's subscribers
pay.
During the year we have e~ndeavored
to give you the worth Of your money.
Your county paper publishes news that
you can get in no other paper. The
big weekly editions Of daily papers
published in Atlanta and other cities
that you get for a low price make you
think thai the price Of your county pa
per is high. But these big weeklies do
not tell you who is or the jury in Lau-
reps. They do not tell you who OF your
lr' lds are married and who arc dead.
You annot call upon them to publish
the rolls OF honor IN your schools and
the announcements Of your picnics and
club meetings. Even the advertise
ments In your county paper are valua-
BILE to ~you-they contain information
which every man in Laurens county
frequently needs. This year Is cleo
tion year and YOU will need a county
paper more than usual.
A county paper cannot have q large
circulation like the papers that the
dailies publish and the dailies car pub
llsh weekly editions much cheaper
than we can Of course.
We have been indulgent-too much
80 for u good. We can Indulge no
longer. On the first day of March we
expect to stop sending the paper to
those who have shown no disposition
to pay anything this fall. Between
now and then, the sooner the better,
we ask payment from all in arrears.
II you can't pay all, and will pay a
part, you will find us ready to meet
you half way and to continue sending
the paper,
The price Of the paper is One Dollar
and a half a year.
