JoNEsYlLLE, AUGUST 3.--Last Sat
uiday, and again last night, there were
rains in this community which came in
the nick Of time. and saved the crops
from suffering; aid today there is quite
a change in the appearance of the crops
and gardens. These rains are a great
blessing from kind Heavenly Father
for which we should all be thankful!
The first Sunday in August is always
a big 1ay with the 'coloied people at
their church here, and yesterday was no
exception to the rule, for they come
from every quarter till the church
grounds were full of them. The mce'

furniture. Lawson is uood hard
working, saving, colored man and owns
good plantation, and is well to do, and
yet the loss of bis house and furnitme

sympathy of all classes of people in the
community.

1t is quite pleasant for one in town to
get out and spend day in the country,
especially in such places as this writer
has visited in the last few days. One
day with Mr. r. N. Gallman, Of Kelto3.
and another day with my better half at
the home of Mr.. j. @. Spears, near
Jonesville. Such visits make one feel
like South Carolina country homes are
the most happy and prosperous homes OH
earth. Talk about hard times and moth
ing good to eat, why it is mockery. My
happy experience disproves any such
talk, on the contrary it proves there is
peace and plenty and unbounded hospi-
tality along with it. Try few visits
Mr.. Editor and you will agree with me.
