Septus News.
Mr.. IA. z. Pressly, our merchant and
postmaster, will in a few days begin
the painting Of his new storeroom,
which will certainly add much to its
appearance.
Mr.. NJ. a.. Casey has some OF the fin
sest spring oats that we have seen. In
fact, all in all he is one among the best
farmers in Septus.
Mr.. T. Il. Wakefield, we are glad to
say, is now improving from hie recent
4 attack Of rheumatism, and we hope
soon to see him I'LL his usual place at
Sunday School, for his ringing voice at
4 his class has been sorely missed.
Surely our pastor, Rey.J. +. Single
ton, is destined to become great
preacher, for his sermons at Lebanon
for the past three or four meeting days
have been gems Of purest ray yes, we
term them flowers budded on eartL to
bloom in heaven May his life be
prolonged that he may continue the
noble work that he has begun, and may
@he live to reap the fruits of his labor
and see himself highly honored for the
pure life that heis living before the
rising generation.
We notice that the senior class at
Winthrop is being highly compliment
ed from all parts of the State, owing,
no doubt, to the large number it con-
tains, for there are about sixty-three
girls in it. We are glad to say that
Septus has a representation in this
grand class in the person of Miss Lola
M. Casey, who has made q record ut
Winthrop that we all feel proud It.
Not for the first time has Miss Lola., in
all the three years that she has been at
Winthrop, ever been before the faculty
for single misdemeanOr, and certain
ssly this is a record hard to excel and cne
that she can look back to with pride
when there are sssilyer threads among
the gold.n Misses Ethel Welborn, Ada.
Casey and Efie Richardson are three
more of our Septus girls attending
Winthrop and are making records that
I'VE are indeed proud of, for no doubt
they. will graduate with flying colors
and with honor both to themselves and
to their relatives and friends, who are
so deeply interested in them
Prof. w. E. Lott and Miss Alice
Wakefield have just closed their school
atLebanon for the summer vacation,
and surely they have a right to feel
proud of the efficient work they have
accomplished during the session.
Mr.. Tom Breazeale and his charming
sister, Miss Alene, of Bolton, visited
the family Of Mrs. S. A. Wallace last
third Saturday night. Come again,
friends, we are always glad to see you.
And now, Mr. Editor, that the sweet
song of the mocking bird and Dutch
whippoorwill is heard once more in the
land, and that the innocent little.
cricket is master OF ceremonies over
the forsaken and fireless hearth, and
that that glorious time has once more
arrived for the young people to make
love to each other beneath the branches
of the willow we beg to give you IN
rhyme the Sunday situation i'll Septus:
There is courting in the parlor,
There is courting on She lawn,
There is courting from early morning
IT'LL after the sun is gone.
The old woman she IS poutins,
For the boys they stay so late
That she has to do the milking
With no one to mind the gate.
The old man he lie qcarrelling,
For the son courting's gone,
And he'll have to do the feeding
Unless he soon comes home.
But the old folks should well remember,
And that not many years ago,
The old man was courting "Bonny"
And the old lady her loving beau.
SWAN.
