cold spell has almost, if not quito, de-

big profits from this industry. "Dnn't

hatched."

week that old copies of the Pendleton
Messenger are wanted. Jasper Doyle

and January 80, 1851. He also has seve-
raj copies of the Keowee Courier bear
ing the following dates: February I,
1851, published at Pickens Court House)
September %, 1854; November II, 1854;
May 4, 1851; April 10, 1859. II these
papers will be of service to any n he
will cheerfully lend them, on condition
that they be returned. Some Of them
are'yellow and mutilated from ago, but
rs they have been preserved this long
they should be valued now for their an
tiquity.
The County Farmers Union met at
Bounty Land last Friday. The attend

While we appreciate this compliment. at
IT, same time we feel that it would be
rather hard for q woman to become o
member Of a organization in which she
;s debarred the privilege Of "the foor''
occasionally. So we had best be con
tent with "asking our husbands at home
for information on the proceedings of
these meetings, although the information
thus obtained 10 sometimes very vague
and unsatisfactory.
