LETTER FROM DWIGHT.

DwIGHT, S. c., April 11.-MR.
EDIToR-Will you please allow
space for a line or two from
Dwight
The health Of this section is
very good.
Farmers of Dwight are badly
behind with their farm work, on
account of the rain and cold
weather The rainfall is said to
be heavier in Dwight this spring
than has been for several years.
We have had rain every few days
for the last two months {; conse-
quently the farmers have not
been able to do much blowing
yet. However, they have been
doing the best they could under
the circumstances. And when
the rain holds up there is going
to be one of the awfulest stirs i'm
Dwight that has ever been known.
Every animal that can pull a
plow will be put in the field.
The putting out of fertilizers has
not begun yet. although Mr.. f.. b.
Lingle has planted Is acres of
corn.
Our farmer, Mr.. ID. A. Funder-
burk, has sold his cotton but
still has several fine pigs for sale.
Our school, Buford, is still on
a boom, and is likely to continue
as long as the bad weather. Bu-
ford has enrolled 70 scholars this
session, and the general attend
ance has been remarkably good.
Both parents and scholars are
well pleased with their teacher.
Professor Il. r. Thompson. and
try to show him all respect ard
honor that is due to so faithful a
teacher. And he is kind and
courteous to his scholars. from
the largest to the smallest. We
all love him and feel grateful to
him for his past work, which he
has SO acceptably performed.
Hush your fuss Dwight has
three large stores, two commo.
dious churches, one postoffice.
one parsonage, a full outfit of
machinery works, and large
farm bell. We will have some
system of work now. Rev. H
was out doors the other evening
just jumping up and down and
laughing as if he was most tickled
to death, and someone passing,
stopped to inquire as to what the
excitement was. His reply was,
''Mr. u is ringing his bell 10
let his servants know that the
sun is down."
The Buford boys went down to
play ball with the Wild Cat boys
on their holiday at the closing of
the Carnes Schoolhouse school.
But they, knowing how we'll the
Buford boys could play, kindly
refused to play against them. So
we chose up indiscriminately and
had delightful game.
Peace and good wishes to all.
