more fair weather than We had in

the 9Th OF: March is just coming: up
There is still some complaint among
the farmers at not being able to get
fertilizers contracted for early in the

I believe at least so per cent Of the
peach crop is killed.

sIipued off. as the water came down in
such torrents. Some farmers have
finished planting corn and others have
not begun to plant yet. They are the
w,se ones. think, as a great deal Of
what is planted will rot in the ground
before it serminates as the land is so
wet I am satisfied that great part
4of mine will rot, as the lands are low
and the water is standing in the plant

Mr. J. Nat Geddings Of Northwest

said his wife was very sick with heart
trouble. So much so that DR.. Parier
Of wedgefeld had told him
that she 5 was likely to die at
any moment if anything should excite
her. She cannot lie down or stand up
but has 10 sit in her chair all the time
Mrs. J. B. Mcintosh, Sr., was suddenly
called to Paxville last wednesday on
account of the illness Of her daughter
Mrs. Hamp Scott.
Allow me to say to Widow that
she must not take it 10 heart--that IS
the death Of Mayor Dick-and ask
her to remember that it is said tnat
the good die young. And that I think
have read of another great man that
was afflicted with Boyles (boils) and
he got over them, SO maybe the widow
is mistaken and he is not dead, only
asleep for a short time, two years for
instance.
Can YOU tell us how many of the

lucky to have so many men willing

one by election. So you see we are not
blessed like Sumter. .. 80 s..= -.

Some seem to think that the fruit is
not all killed and we may yet have
some peaches.
Mr.. w. J. Ards has lost about half
of his bees-some 20 or 25 hives. 1t
seems as if they must have starved to
death as there are no worms
in the hives which are full
of comb, but no honey.

the wet spring and dry scmmer and

think that it was.
