Hood. Mite boxes were opened, the

CHEROKEE.
Gaffney Ledger, March 81: The dam
ages to bridges in this county, caused by
high waters some ten days ago, have
mostly been repaired, and we hear OF
none caused by the rains Of Sunday
and yesterday....... 1t is rumored that
Mr.. T. L. Black, the efficient agent OF
the Southern at Blacksburg, will soon
succeed Mr.. W. T. Irwin, as agent OF
the same company at Spartanburg.
Mr.. Irwin has rendered his resignation.
The citizens Of Gaffney are now
taking about $4,000 gallons Of water ev-
cry twenty-four hours. All Of this is
taken from one we'll, which is 555 feet
deep. Notwithstanding this great guam
tity used the we'll shows no sign Of
weakening. Mr.. RAIDER, Of Charlotte,
N. c., who was so severely hurt In q
runaway here some ten days ago, and
Mrs RAIDER, who came over to be with
him during his affiiction, left for their
home in Charlotte yesterday afternoon.
While Mr.. RAIDER is far from we'll, we
are glad to state he Is doing we'll, with
prospects Of a speedy recovery. We
doubt If any one In the state, dealers
excepted, has larger or prettier COL
lection Of white rabbits than our good
friend Will Brown now has at his
home near Limestone. Will has a
large herd of them, and they are all fat
and sleek, without mark or blemish to
mar their beauty, and everyone Of them
is as tame and gentle as a house cat.
A black and white spotted one-the on
ly one of the kind in the LOTS per-
feet beauty, and prettier specimen Of
the hare tribe would be hard to find.
Will loves to fool with 'em," he says,
and their tameness is due to his fond
ness for them and the gentle care he
gives them. Everything in the brute
creation appreciates kind treatment,
and at once becomes attached to the
one who accords it. With all his clev-
erness and close attention to them, Will
has not been able to eradicate from his
pets that inherent fear Of dog which
Is common to all their species; and at
the least sound, which seems to indi-
cate the approach Of member Of the
canine tribe, they will scatter like rats
and make for their holes in the ground,
each one striving to get in first. Will
has lately added to his collection pair
of Belgian hares. These are about
three times the size Of our common
rabbits and with ears as large as
donkey's. They are not all struck"
with beauty; but their oddities are in
teresting and amusing.
