Fair Play News and Other Interesting Notes.

Fair Play, June 1G.--Crops are looking
exceedingly well and we had fine grow
ing season last Saturday and Sunday, for
which we should be very grateful. Crops
are not as promising as we travel below
Beavordam creek towards Anderson.
Mr.. j. G.. B. Vandiver sold for beef in
his lot yoke of steers weighing twenty
five hundred pounds for SS5. Farmers,
why. don't you give more attention to
stock raising?
DR.. j. II. TIellar, at this place, has more
work than he can do and do himself JUS
tice.
We arc sorry to learn that we will not
bo able to have Prof. IIughs as our prin-
cipal, owing to home obligations. He is
young man of courageous ambition.
Mr.. T.. G. Marott is still having to carry
his ann in swing. He is man Of much
energy, and we trust he will soon recover
from his wound.
Mrs. d. V. Wright is in Lavonia, Ga.
with her two little sick grand daughters.
by tho kindness of the Methodists, the
Baptists arc holding their services in tho
Methodist church while theirs is under
going repairs.
Mr.. Elias Earle was in Fair Play last
Saturday on business. He has just re-
turned from Clemson College.
Mrs. +. NJ. Davis has been confined to
her room for several days, but wo are
glad to report that she is much better.
We miss her in the Sunday school work.
She is the teacher for the infant class and
has been for years. | know her figure
and life stand before the little ones, and
older ones, too, like good mother.
Mr.. r. H.. Marctt, the postmaster at
this place, authorized from headquarters,
has appointed Mr.. Martin Marott to ride
tho II. f. ID. over the new route starting
from this place until tho first of July,
when the job will be given permanently.
Three have stood the examination, but
have not had time to ascertain the sue
cessful one. Mr.. Crawford, employed by
the department, was here and examined
the applicants the latter part of last week
and their papers have been sent to Wash
ington.
The repairing of Bcavcrdam church at
this place is money we'll spent, and we
hope we can do as good Il part by the
school building this summer. Nice
church and school buildings speak we'll
for Il community and increase the value
of other property. Drive through a sec
ton of country that has fine residences
and poor church and school buildings,
and it at once casts reflection upon the
people.
The chaingang has moved from near
knox's Bridge to do a little work near
this place. While at knoX's Bridge one
of the gangs door neighbors had a small
shoat that went about eating the waste
with the OvcrScGr'S consent. The pig
was SCALED to death, by the cook sup
pose. The owner says he has evidence
to that effect. | wonder who will have
1T to pay for. From information, it has
been appraised at six and half dollars.
The people Of this community want
their roads worked and surely if the
gang had been doing half its duty, the
people wouldn't have raised so much
dust about it, because they knew the
gang would talk of leaving right away.
GIVE to your county your county duty.
| think can say we would be ju8tifable
in it too; that this community has some
of the toughest roads that they have had
in years. If a blind man was going from
Oconcc county to Anderson county, he
could tell when he struck Anderson
county, from the cOmfortablencss. These
are facts and not exaggerated.
Your Friend.
