Prosperity, S. G, February 9.--Mr.
Editor: Old man Kay has no little
trouble to get somo of his items up to
tho Office, and this is his second effort
this week, and he hopes that he will be
more successful this time and that they
will not go astray again.

items was left out, aud we did not
get it in at all and did not know Of it

would get in, aud he lost it. This is
the reason why we did not get in the
death of one of our most estimable la-
dies, Mrs. Lucinda Dominick, sooner.
We have tried again and trust that it
will go through alright this time.
