undiminished activity.
Mr.. Gregg is here again after An
absence of some weeks.
The infant child of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. b. Poston died Saturday morn.

Mr. Nachman has gone to Dillon
to take 4 position as clerk In Mr.
Max Fass' store.
Mr.. r. L. Singlstary and Miss
Eleida Sutcliffe attended preaching
ut Hebron Sunday.
Rev. Saddler now has two ap-
pointments each month at the Pies
byterian church, to wit: the second
and fourth Sunday afternoons.
We saw eight or ten bales of cot
ton come in at one time last week
and suppose they came from one
man. This seems to show that
there Is still some of the heecy sta
pie in the country.
We have heard that Mr.. P. S.
Wall, of Scranton, will also ask for
the keys of the auditors office. We
would say more about this, but 1t Is
only rumor, and there may be no
foundation for the rumor.
Mr.. Archie Shaw, of Charleston,
is visiting his sister, Mrs. D. NJ.
Epps. A short while ago he met
with the misfortune Of having his
leg broken by street car. After
being laid up while he IS now able
TO 60 around OIL crutches.
MILD. Singletary says that he
will try strawberries under cover
next season. Beis satisfied that in
Il hot bed he can bring them to per-
fection much earlier than in open
air. On a protected plant he had a
half grown berry several days ago.
In this day while 80 much is being
said about the marvellous speed Of
trains, it may he refreshing to re-
call that it takes three weeks for B
package of freight to come from st.
Paul, Mimi, to this place. Work it
out and you will ind that that ls
marvellous speed-less than that Of
Il one-eyed mule pulling n Dixie
plow.
We have it straight that II. G.
Askins, Esq, has about determined
to be in the race for the position Of
auditor. He has never asked for
office before. He is no doubt thor
oughly qualified to fill the position.
We do not espouse the cause of any
candidate, but We venture the pre-
diction that his entry will ado in
terest to the race.
Miss Essie Marcus finished her
term at the New Zion school last
week. The patrons are very much
pleased with her both rs Il lady and
a teacher. All who know her re-
gret her departure. She has gone
10 her home in Florence where she
will remain some before going to
York, where she has secured a sit
uation.
Even the "shoo fly" train is losing
her reputation. She had won the
confidence of the public by being
almost invariably on time. Men
learned to set their watches by her
arrivals and departures. But alas,
for human faith! Evil communica-
tions corrupt good manners; by
keeping company with the "hld
fish special" she is contracting the
same bad habit of tardiness.
Mr.. James Thompson died Sun
day night of pneumonia. He, had
been in delicate health awhile. His
remains were buried at Johnson
vile Tuesday. Mr.. Thompson left Il
widow and five children. He was a
man of good character and Of quiet
unassuming nature. A few years
ago he served this town as marshal
and made conscientious andfaith-
full officer.
The men who have done most for
the berry and trucking industry Of
this community are very probably
DR.. Hinnanr and MeSsrS.Singletary.
They are the leaders, the pioneers,
the fearless eXperi'nentalistS. They
have been the ones to go before and
blaze out the way. Others have been
ready to profit by the experiments
of those gentlemen, but had nos the
harih0od to take the initiative. 1t
IS easy enough to make an egg
stand on end latter some one shows
you, you know how to do il, but the
honor is due the discoverer, and he
Should receive it.
