Notes from Tugaloo.

Tugaloo, June lG.-We had heavy rains
in this section yesterday, with cOnsidcra-
bic wind. The creeks were ont of their
banks. The whole vegetable kingdom
is much revived, and has most luxu-
riant appearance this morning.
We never knew farmers better up with
their work at this season of the year
worked over their crops the third time.
We have never known as little grass and
weeds in crops at harvest time.
The wheat crop is about all harvested,
and rather poor average crop. Corn
and cotton are looking well, notwith-
standing we have just had quite long
dry spell, We don't like to appear pes
simistic, but we predict that there will
be more poor stock at laying by time this
year than have been for many wears.
The reason is this There has been so
httl lc rain stock nave had no time to rest,
and they are (nearly ally being fed on
Western corn, which is not as nutrious
as homc-raiscd corn, and it costs so
much that they don't get enough of it.
Watch.
Well, fried chicken, blackberries and
the delcctablc picnic are ripe. The peach
and apple crops are still quite promising.
Why did not the so-called Democratic
Convention of South Carolina lay the
Oconec chain gang road matter before
Benjamin Ryan Ticoon Tillman and let
him tell them what to do about it, as he
did everything else. We wish he would
have the road to Retreat made public,
for we do want to go there to preaching
the first Sunday in each month"; as Rev.
j. &. Shive is pastor of that church, and
more consccrated, earnest, Jealous
preacher than he would be hard to find.
We wish everybody in reach of Retreat
wOnld go to hear him once and then
they would he sure to go again. We wish
all our pulpits were supplied with as
good men as Mr.. Shivc.
Everybody well end comparatively
happy in this community
Preaching at South Union next Sun

U. X. Gunter Visits Abbeville.

Hon. U. X. Gunter, candidate for At

value. He is an excellent lawyer, and in
addition to his professional knowledge,
he has good, common sense. 1t was hot
and dry when Mr.. Gunter reached the
city, and some of tho voters told him
they would support him if he would
bring rain. He told them call right"
and in the afternoon we had splendid
shower, and the farmers who heard his
promise intend to vote for him.-Abbe-
