Mr.. Jno. D. II. Kinard is still in very
lingering health.
Mrs. }. *. Epps takes the lead in the
horticulture Jino among our other good
women. She has our many thanks for
some nice beans.
We wcro sorry that our work was
too pressing to admit US attending tho
lrcman's tournament. While Newber-
ry lost oil OF her prizes, we venture the
assertion that she has gained rcputa-
| tion in hospitality. We feel assured
that she did her full duty in intertain-
ing her guest.
MIR. II. II. Long, who has bcen work.
ing in the Carolina Manufacturing
shop at Ncwberry for the past eight
months, met with the misfortune woek-
beforc last to get his left thumb cut
Off. Mr.. Long was ripping up some
lumber when his finger was caught by
the saw and instantly cut off just above
the first joint from tho hand We arc
glad to say tho wound is getting along
nicely.
a new conner has made it's appear
ance in the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Sid
ney Derricl1-ts boy.
The last two weeks in May we farm
ers were all on the anxious bench. 1t
raincd just enough to keep the land
too wet to plough nearly all the time.
Only about three days plough;ng was
done within the two weeks. But I
must say that heard less grumbIing.
I hope that this is al evidence of u fact
that the people are growing better. We
must learn to reconcile our minds to
the providential dealings Of God.
| Last wcok, and this, up to this writ
ing, has been fine weather, and the
people have certainly made good use of
the time. The most Of them put in
about fourteen hours of actual work
day. In fact we never saw farm work
pushed forward any better. This week
will about wind up harvest, and the
principal part OF the cotton will be
thinned.
| Beans, Irishpotatoes, squashes, cher
ry pies are already on hand, with the
blackberrics almost in sight, so can't
you see that we country people are fix
ing to live.
| Look here, Push, what's the matter?
! Come again, old fellow, let us hear
| from. those watermelons, aud there is
| Sigma and host Of our other corre-
| spondonts that's taking too long
| snOOze.
Tho towns and cities are continually
inviting and encouraging capital and
Enterprises Of various natures, and
| most everything Of this nature is float
| Ing to town. We IKE to see the towns
| build up, and so fnr as cotton and oil
mills are conc led they belong to
town where they can have full access
to shipping. But, dear old country, we
must not let everything drift off to
| town. We have several interprizcs in
our country that we feel proud Of. DR..
| w. II. Dickert, our country doctor, is
| not only attentive and kind to the sick,
but he Is also successful in his prac-
| tice, and we are proud of him. Mr..
! Perry Halfacre has one OF tho best grist
| mills and cotton gins that can be start
ed anywhere. Mr.. w. d. Halfacre runs
q wood and blacksmith shop near Mr..
| d. A. Ruff and j. X. Epps both run
| sarghum mills that can't be excelled.
Ruff & Co. has two stores right near
st. Philip. Boinest & Co. runs O saw
| mill, cotton gin and thresher, and
their work always gives perfect salts
faction. Mr.. G. M. Singley & Sons
run a grist mill and cotton gin that is
| hard to beat. Mr.. G. l.. Sease runs
saw and grist mill and thrcshcr. Ev-
! erybody that knows Luke Sease knows
that he don't do things by halves.
| There is Jefferson Quattlebaum. the
| old reliable, who runs wood shop,
aud is hard to crowd when it comes to
making most any kind of furniture.
! Here Is Mr.. E. L. Strauss, runs store
! right near our home, who keeps q full
line OF groceries and confectioneries,
and Is able to compete with any OF
your town merchants.
Just little further over Is our young
friend J. D. Quattlebaum with his
blacksmith and wood shop, and he is
not only liberal in his charges, but
what he does is done right.
| We also learn that Mr.. Luther Chap
man Is preparing to run canning
business, and will can for the public
this summer as cheap as anybody.
We must not forget to mention our
friend, Mr.. M. l.. Strauss, who runs a
large loan business, to the accommoda-
tion of many, far and near.
Now II I have left out any public en-
terprising citizen within this territory,
it Is simply an oversight, and is not in
tended by any means. Those enter
prises that have mentioned may seem
small in the eyes OF those who are
building cotton mills and other large
factories, but they are every one of
great Importance to we country people,
and We are proud of them.
| My dear people, don't lose sight of
