with the writing of this, Mr.. Editor,
we wish to bid you aud the many read
ers OF the lNTEILIGENCER farewell for
q lew weeks. Therefore We will leave
tue small space in this paper that has
Deen consigned to us to be filled by
more fluent writer's
The health of our people is very good
at inc present writing. though we are
never Tree from some little sickness.
Mr.. Tom Rice nnA family. III Hurt
well, Ca, and Mrs. Sallie Whittcn, of
MARIETTA, Ca, have been visiting
friends and relatives in this and adjoiIi,
ing communities.
Farm work has been prorressinp
nicely for tho past ten days, but we ara
having s0nio ruin TO- day that will stop
work short while. The shower Is
very acceptable, rs it will help to bring
up the corn that was planted some
time ago. Some Of our people have
begun piantipg cotton seed.
The young people throughout this
section meet every Sunday afternoon at
some ncighbOrs house and spend two
or three hours in singing. We think
this is a | ood thing, as tits better than
going about from house to house and
spending the time in friyi!oms ccmver-
satiOn and fun.
Ina few weeks tho people i'm this
section will have the luxury of free
mail delivery, but we fear that they
VII! not find it us convenient rs it is
thought to be.
Mr.: and Mrs. T.. A. Welborn and
| daughter. Miss ROSA, have each had q
severe attack Of grip, but are now con
valescent
Last Friduy afternoon we had the
pleasure of listening to somo nice reci-
tatlons 5y some OF the pupils of tho
lola school, and also of witnessing
the egg hunting" engaged i'll by the
school. The eggs were hidden by tho
teacher. Miss Gussie Wclborn, and it
was indeed interesting to see the pupils
hunt for them. Miss Gussic knows
how to make her pupils enjoy going to
school, rs well ms instructing them.
a few days ago DR.. j. G. Ducwortl,,
| assisted by Drs. Townsend and Harris,
OF Anderson, performed an operation
on u negro woman living on tho plan
tation of Mr. w. w. Smith, successful-
~ removing two tumors weighing fifty
two pounds. The woman is on fan
road to recovery.
a large number Of our people attend
Gd the Carnival ut Anderson last week
The majority of them pronounced it n
considered the best part of the show.

MI. w. Il. Link aud family, of Willis
Chapel, visited relatives in this sec
tiOn last week.

it IS hoped that the fruit that
mas not already been killed is
frost in May
1t is. gratifying to know that the
young ladies are taking IL great inter
est in the lola Literary Society. Very
good essays wcrc read last Saturday
night by tho following girls: Misses
Lizzie Mitchell, Lcssie Wilson, aud
Beulah, Matte, and Sammio Holder.
One of the hardest trials of those
who suddenly fall from riches and hon
or to poverty and disgrace is the dis
cOvcry that the attachment of SO many
Ill whom they cOntided, was pretense,
mask, to gain their own onds or was
miserable shallowness. Sometimes,
doubtless it, is with regret that tho
trlvilOus followers of the world desert
those upon whom they have fawnctl,
but they soon forget them. Flies al
ways lenve the kitchen when the dish
es are empty. Tho parasites that clus
ter about the favOrite Of fortune, to
gather his gifts and climb by his aid,
fingers with the sunshine but scatter at
the first signs of q storm, as the leaves
cling to the tree in summer weather,
but drop cH Mt the breath OF winter and
leave IL naked to the stinging blast.
Like buzzards settled down for q feast,
and suddenly scared by noise, how
quickly are these superficial earthlinga,
| at the first sound of calamity, mere
specks on the horizon. But q true
rrlenp sits In the center and is for all
| time to come. Our need only reveals
him more fully, and binds him moro
closely, to US. Prosperity and adversi-
ty are both rescalers, tn. difference be-
ing that In the former our friends know
us, In tho latter wo know them. But
notwithstanding the insinccrity and
greediness 80 prevalent among men
there is u vast deal moro of esteem and
fellOw-yearning than is ever outwardly
shown. There arc more examples of
unadulterated affection, more deeds of
| silent love and mngnanimity, than is
usually supposed. Our misfortune
brings to our sides real friends who
were before unknown. Benevolent i'm
| pulses where VIC should not expect
them, In modest privacy, enact many q
scene of beautiful wonder amidst the
plandits Ofangels.
With many u good wish to the editor,
correspondents and readers of the
INTEILIGENCEH, so long.
