Mrs. IL. 5. b. kiblcr of your city is
visiting her parents and kindred in
this section this week
Mr. II. l.. Is. Epps fully recovered
from his illness last week and went
back and took charge OF tie chain

Well, Brother Push, think it will
be time enough Il month later to meet
and decide about the picnic. There
will have to be some get up and get
for Il while now.
What does Christianity mean? If it
means anything, it means sixteen
ounces 20 the pound, three feet to the
yard, jnst weight and just measure,
it means h0ncs,y in all dealings, purity
in all conversation, II charity as broad
us the human race, unilnching intrg-
rlty, sympathy, humanity 10 man, 10y
atty TO God, and any one who doesn't
possess such II char"c,,r nccd not claim
any part in Christianity.
Another excitement of small pox
prevails. Some weeks ago we heard
that the small p0x had broke out in the
St. fhlllps section among the negroes.
But we had such little faith in the re-
port that we failed to give it to the
public. But We have begun TO believe
that there is something besides talk.
DR.. W. II. Dckert received iustruc
tions from the Board Of Health to vac
cinatc all those throughout this See
tlon who have not been vucGinatcd. He
came around last week and scratched n
But, Kay, Chips his concluded to put
his point in the paper instead Of having
it put in his arm. There's me- time for
sore arms in the country now. Two
new cases reported last week, hut they
are still confined to the negroes.
Every man TO his own calling. We
believe that Judge }. IL. Chuppcll has
hit his calling at last, and rs long as he
keeps up the good work it should be
made lifetime job to him. Vugrunts
and vlolulors OF the law stand but L,
slim showing before Judge Chappcll.
by Furnishing the guilty is the only
way TO diminish crime. So 90 your
full length, Judge, and if the city fails
TO stand to your back the country will
be there.
Tnc grain has been gathered i'm the
best condition that We ever knew it.
If the people who raised wheat don't
have gooh bread this year it won't be
ON account of not having good wheat.
The blessings Of heaven have again
descended upon the earth. Last Sun
day evening was the first rain that fell
in this section TO make the land too wet
TO piow in nine weeks. We got just IL
nice Il season IL heart could wish for.
The rain fell moderately, with no hail
uuii very little wind and lightning.
This rain is sufficient TO bring up the
balance OF the crops and put new life
in vegetation. Every living soul should
lift his heart in thanks to God for
this and all other blessings. AS we
have said before, do your part and
God will do the rest.
Look here, Kay, I'm talking TO YOU,
and I'm not going to quit talking Just
because You ran of down to Columbia,
and if yom don't send us some more CT
those good letters from down there we
will come down and sec why you don't.
But. see here, don't AOu think It's a
little unfair for You and the cdito to
l>,>th Il l.,
get such nice jobs without trying To
help the old man Chips to button hoe
himself into one? Now we u,c not
looking after such big corners as the
State House and Alliance store. But
Salink If you and the editor would do
your duty to the old man you could find
him q little corner somewhere. Then
you can just bear in mind, if Chips gets
down there with you and the editor
we will just move The Herald and
News down with all Of its good force
and literally ,nn those big dpiIics out
Of existence. See If VIC don't
One after another Of our leading men
are passing away. When the county
loses such man As Mr. j. n. Martin Il
has II right to mourn. Mr.. Martin was
Il kind hearted, noble, Christian gen.
tlcman. Hc treated cvcryhody with
courtesy and respect, and we have
heard one after another speaking of
his death with sorrow and regret. But
the National Bank has been fortunate
in securing another man in the person
Of Mr.. NJ. a. Carlisle as president, u
man whom we are all confident will fin
the position very acccptably. Judge
Carlisle is wc,, known throughout the
county and always seems kind and cour.
tcOus.
The State has also felt Il great shock
in :he death Of Governor Ellcrbe.
He has made good governor, and his
administration has been vcryun biased
But like all Others, it has hccn picked
at and criticised by our State critics.
or in palmer words, our State grccGs
But this has always been the case, and
