Bachmnn Chapel and Union Academy Chips

Well, kay, the war is over and wei
| turn back. Mainc and Morrimac has
| fallen and Chips going to occupy the
land. You can just give up your gun
| there's no need Of shooting. So here
we go chipping around the gutter, but
not making much Of llutter while Kay
| is winking at us.
Health moderately good.
a considerable stirring in the horti-
culture line the first of the week.
The grain is putting on better ap-
pearance.
Some farmers will plant corn next
week if the weather is favorable.
Sweet music is ringing again in the
land, played on that blessed old instru-
mcnt, the dinner horn. Old Mrs.
Chips brings the old man in about II 30
with greeting smile.
Mr.. ii. II. Long cut his foot with an
axe last week while chopping, which
has disabled him from travelling for IL
while.
Rev. &. L. Boozer spent last Satur-
day night with Mr.. j. X. Epps and
family. and filled his regular appoint
mcnt at Bachman Chapel on Sunday.
He preached one Of his usually good
old time Bible sermons.
Mr.. Thos. Fcllcrs, who has been con-
fined to his room with rheumatism for
several weeks, is somewhat improving.
The guanO fever is lower than |
have known it for many years at this
season We believe that there vii! be
reduction of at lcast per cent. this
year compared with the average of
othcr years. Dear farmers, this is one
Of the most important times to go slow,
not only on the guano line, but every
other thing that plungcs us in debt.
SO long rs we sell our cotton before we
make it, VIC may never expect to be
anything but Il down troddcn, poverty
stricken set of people. Diversified
crops and rotation OF Offices is the only
salvation for the State of South Caro-
lima. When our friends are in Office
they would like to stay in, and We
would lik" to keep them in, but how
do wr know what they nro doing until
we put them cut. SO it is very good
plan to turn them out every two or four
years, and if they have been good fel-
lows and have not squan1crcd any
Of the States money we can very easily
pat them back. The only reason that
Col. Neal is in trouble today is that he
was kept in Office just little too long.
Kay, You asked for Il vote on an an
nual reception to be given by the cd
itor IN behalf of his correspondents.
You should have said semi-annual
gathering. AS Il matter of fact we all
vote yes. We would lik ; very much to
meet all the members of the staff and
exchange Il few hours Of pleasure. But
we shall not press the matter upon the
editor now as he has just returned
from Il six weeks stay among those
high cOckalorums down at the capital
and possibly don't care to mingle with
wc little wizards. But YOU can pop
your whip and try him. Kay. aud see
yer:
Yes. Brother Clodboppcr. if the day
Is favorable next Sunday We will stop
and ,,.s, some Of those ,.}.,. ,i,l,lan.
which you mentioned DO, long siuce.
