Bethel, the veterans Of Companies F

Joy their annual outing at beautiful
Bonnie Doom" to which Mr.. Walter l..
Holt has invited them to repair for the
celebration of the day.
The shipments of truck northward
are now very heavy, and long trains
from South. Carolina, Georgia and
Florida are constantly crossing upper
Hay street, with their whole carrying
capacity taxed by all sorts of vegeta-
bles, the crop of cucumbers getting to
market being especially large.
Fools build houses, n wise men
live in them" is an old and rather :caus-
tic maxim. Whether it be true or not,
the hammer, the saw the trowel and
the plane are busy here now for the
capitalists who want investment, or
the people who want homes. Two Or
three new dwellings are nearly ready
for in the northern part Of
town, three in the eastern and southern,
and one on Winslow street, while the
improvements making on Haymount
are handsome and extensive.
The result of the town meeting for an
establishment of a high grade boys
school in the Donaldson academy build
ings on Haymount, promises to be sue
cessful in the highest degree. The need
OF the school, and its many attendant
advantages, are realized by the
thoughtful people of the community.
A very pleasant lawn party was given
las evening in the grove around the
First Baptist church, the proceeds OF
which are to be devoted to the improve
ments of the building and grounds.
The attendance was large, delightful
refreshments were erv in p%rofusion,
and every hour of the occasion vas en-
joyed.
The manufacturing branch of the ne
gro department in the Charleston expo
sition could not be placed in better
hands than those of Superintendent
Thurston of the silk mills at this place.
He has already shown himself of
the really able, broad-minded men of
the colored race.
In the western part of this county,
near the old Scotch settlement of
M~ontrose, Mr.. Duncan Murchison has
just passed away, at the age of So years
