proud of the fact, as they have a right
to be.
A weather prophet, makes the pre-
diction that the hottest weather

An exchange says: "The man who
went out to milk and sat on stump
IN the middle of the pasture and walt
ed for the cow to back up to him was
the elder brother of the man who kept
a store and didn't advertise because he
believed the purchasing public would
back up to his place when they wanted
anything.
When certain general was camp

The lines between the counties OF
Saluda. Edgefield, and Greenwood are
IN nebulous state, or as we heard an
old preacher say once, without form
and without void" These lines should
be permanently established at once, as
otherwise serious legal complications
may arise. We understand that in
some instances lands belonging 10 in
dividuals are partly in one county and
partly IN another, and in such cases it
is not known where the taxes should
be paid.
Some Thoughts.
A quick way of ending the war
should it begin: Let the United
States take Havana, throw troops
on the island of Cuba to help the
Cubans and in six months we
would have peace, and Cuba too,
if we wish it. If not, Cuba will be
free and #e wiila be free of the
treacherous Spaniard, thing de-
voutly TO be hoped. To change
the subject slightly: I wonder if
Lord Gaines will allow US to elect
a Senator this fall Greenwood
could spare him and Edgefeld
would not miss him. Another
change Of the subject: The wretch
ed dispensaay 1 hope will be dis
pensed with, it is more trouble
than profit. Would it not be a
good idea for the anti-railroad
bond men to employ Henderson or
Croft of Aiken. I am for Shep-
pard for the State Senate. We
are to have a post office at
CENTRE SPRING.
