Denver Items.

The backbone Of the heated term
seems to be broken, and we are having
some real cool weather since the re-
freshing rains have fallen. The rains
came too late to save the corn and cot
ton, of which not more than twO-thlrds
of o crop can be made in this section.
This is the driest, hottest Summer we
have had in fifty years, SO we are told
BIZ our Oldest and most obseryant peO-
pie. Many trees in the forests have
died from the Intense heat and lack OF
moisture.
Our sick are all better. Miss Minnie
Blackman is improving, and Miss En-
ma Majors has recovered sufficiently to
return to her home at Pickens, S. C..
One of Mr.. J. Reid Garrison's little
twin daughters has been quite sick, but
is better now.
MI. Crayton Reid, Of Walhalla, has
been visiting relatives in our commun-
ity. His friends are sorry to know
that he is in feeble health.
Mrs. Kate Greer, of Williamson, has
been visiting her sister, Mrs. L. A..
Webb. Mr.. Webb had the misfortune
to lose fine milk COW q few days ago.
It is thought the cow died from eating
q quantity of green sorghum cane. Our
farmers are anxious to know 1t eating
the cane in this condition will kill
stock. A great many raise 1t for for
age, but are afraid to use it before it is
cut and cured. Can some one give the
desired information?
The Harper -Tolly- -Burriss crowd, in
cluding Miss Blanche Browne, have re-
turned, delighted with their trip to the
mountains. They brought back with
them q live rattlesnake, which they
have placed on exhibition in Anderson
at Crayt0n's Drug Store. To one who
never saw one of these venOmOus rep
tiles it will be quite show.
Mr.. John C. C. Miller, OF Georgia, and
sister, Mrs. S. E. Paxton. of Texas,
have been visiting Mr.. A. E. Brownies
family. Mrs. Paxton went on to North
Carolina to visit other relatives.
Mrs. E. E. Williamson and children,
Of Union, S. c., are visiting relatives
in and around Denver. She was raised
in this County, and her many friends
are glad to see her again, after an ab-
sence of several years.
Mr.. Bob Simpson, of Piedmont, is yls-
iting the family of his uncle, Mr. L. X.
Simpson.
Miss Pearl Long and Miss Ada Pruitt,
two of Starts loveliest girls, are guests
of Miss Matte Eskew.
The young people were given lawn
party on the 18th at the residence OF
Mr.. w. A. G.. McWhorter. 1t was an
ideal moonlight night, and the large
crowd present pronounced it most de-
lightful occasion. Those invited who
could not attend felt like they had
missed good deal.
Hon. j. Waddie Bowden left Monday
for his post of duty at Washington,
after enjoying pleasant vacation OF
two months.
Mr.. Joe Bowden is still in California
seeing after his fruit farm. He writes
that he has an abundant crop, especial,
" of peaches. No doubt they will
bring remunerative prices, as they are
so scarce everywhere else this year.
The Reunion of Orr's Regiment was
largely attended on the 10th at Sandy
Springs. There is sad pleasure IN at
tending these reunions, as year after
wear the number Of old soldiers grows
less: year after year the number who
answer to roll call over yonder grows
larger. In few years all vii! have
Joined the "bivouac of the dead" The
world will never know again no better,
Drawer men than those who fought for
the "Lost Cause" lNCOGNITO.
