Happenings Among tho People In This
Prosperous Township.

MIR. Editor:-If you will give
space fof back woods Boys first
attempt, l will try and give you
q few dots from our Township,
Brightsville.
Things are chang'n around
this place, and the people "push"
up on themselves. Our people at
BrightsYille are making many
changes remodling fences, and
changing roads and putting new
blocks under their houses. And,
the young people have nearly all
runaway and got married this
winter, and we haven't had a
snow yet. And, the Squire has
made SO much money ticing the
nuptial boughs that he stands
with his hands in his pocket ging-
ling it, with q big smile on his
face and still invites them to come
that he expects to marry all that
comes. Bring the dollar boys this
il a cash business transaction.
| will tell you a good one on
the Squire; he told me once how
q couple played a trick on him,
swell" said he, "a couple came
here the other night and wanted
to be married. So married them
and they started and [ said my
friend, your marriage fee has not
been paid" "Wcll Squire,' said
the fellow, "I will help my wife
in The buggy and then l will come
bac! aud hand you the dollar. !"
We'll did he Squire? No, he Just
got in the buggy with his wife
and put whip, and left me stand
ing on the steps. Now squire I
wouldn't Of told this on you, but
we are such good friends, you
won't care.
| saw Cousin Durant in town
this afternoon.
We arc having some rain in our
section SO the farmers can't make
much farm progress. The boys
OF Brishtsville are like tho old
darkcy "morc rain more rest"
i saw two pretty girls in our
town to-day, but did not know who
they were and hated to be so in
quisitivc and did not learn their
names, but I will ask Wade, for I
do believe he knows every girls
name from the Capo Fear River
to the Great Pee Dee. Yes, |
might say, and over the rivers too.
Now, Wade you know whore you
and some more Of we boys went
the other night. The boys have
quite q joke on you and S. b., you
know S. b. was driving the Hack,
YOU know the horses was pretty
wild or at least S. B. thought so.

Bishop Galloway says that
he believes statutory prohibition
is a bad thing, and that local
option, that Of allowing every
county to decide the question
for itself, was by far the most
satisfactory. His letter has, it is
said, somewhat discouraged the
prohibitionists Of Mississippi.

weather man, by the nape of the neck
and the seat Of his breeches would
make him stop bis develish predic.
tions about the weather not that any
body's scared or believes it either, ex>
cept myself and julie CoYington.
The wind and thunder clouds are
coming in on schedule time this year,
so guess | will begin to lose sleep
and flesh and nerve, and make heroic
resolutions and have that tired feeling
that always comes over me when the
beautiful spring and thunder clouds
arrive. l always do this at this season
of the year.

get sd ionesumc at The Business quit
1t in the first Of the fall, but old Hicks
Is about to get me at it again. If L
could run the weather 1 would have
moonlight nights and cold days,
whether there was yearling raised
in Horny county or not, These are
not so straining on fellows nerves
or conscience either.
We have the horseless carriage, the
smokeless powder, the wireless tee
graph, and [ am strongly in favor Of
thunderless clouds, ifI could IS ar
range it.
Our new presiding Elder preached
for the frat time at this place last
night. He is man of fine appear
ancc and is gifted as preacher. 1
hear many good things said of him by
people who know him and have heard
him preach.
There is more than the usual
amount of guano being hauled from
this place this season. I am afraid this
means too much cotton. II old Hicks
is "shore" enough right. wish the
ground hog would pull Hicks in his
hole and keep him there till FROST
not that I believe him but I can't see
any use in keeping the poor women
scared to death all the summer.
Rumor has it that we will have an
oil mill in Clio-certain by the next
season.
The Bennett Co., have large ware
house just completed at the Depot and
have brick on the ground for enlarg-
ging their commodious brick store.
This is done in order to meet their
requirements for room in their grow.
ing business. They will add the most
up.do-date millinery store in this part
of the Stale. but will speak of this
later.
I expect to make tour of the
county this summer on business and
will say in advance that / will spend
the night almost anywhere and at any
time where they have home made
ham and don't charge anything.
There is a young fellow that owns
house just across the street from where
I live and he keeps moving things to
the house it looks to me like he in
tends to take the fet:ers Of married
life like little soldier. hope he will
keep COW and make a g,ld garden.
I never had no luck at Luch things
myself, but ifI was to I would send
the neighbors some and they wouldn't
have to ask me either. I will wait
and see, and if anything happens I
will put his name in the paper.
You will hear more from me when
the clouds roll by and everything set,
ties off and we get shower of rain.
