Ueral around here are fairly good
n and especially is this so in regard
to cotton. OF course, cotton is a
d little alter than common but it is
now making good. from reports re-
Deceived from various sections of the
- county. We believe we can COM
Dpare favorably with other sections
Aof the county as to corn. 1t seems
ITO be hurt pretty badly OH account
Aof the past few days of dry weather
We have had, a few showers Satur-
Oday and Sunday which we hope will
- benefit the young corn crop. Fod-
Oder is being pulled around here on
- old corn.
The people around here were
6shocked last week when J. NJ. Nor
:. ton received a telegram stating that
8his mother, Mrs. w. J. Norton, of
. Gibson, was dead. Mrs. Norton
Gspent some time here with her son
not more than month ego and she
Oseemed to be in the best Of health.
AMrs. Norton was a Miss Nicholson,
o. j
0Nicholson of this community, and
Mr.. Arch Nicholson of Mullins Her
Sfather and mother came direct from
Scotland. Mrs. Norton was a faith
Oful wife and loving mother, but alas
0she has gone forward to the reward
THAT is laid up in Heaven for the
0faithful. Children weep not. your
mother has only preceded you; land
S4some day you will meet her on the
other side.
. Quite crowd gathered at the
ASpring Friday night, Some to parti-
~cipate in the dancing, some to look
non and some to hear the Charleston
band. Now as to the first they
0were disappointed The large pa
Wilton was near enough completed
Ngso they could dance to their salts
faction; the second, the onlookers,
Shey were fully repaid as there was
a. music and some good or bad
- tcing. The third class was disap-
q 3>ted at the band not appearing.
lg before night you could see old
~$n and ladies making their way
~ the direction of the Spring; ask
em where they were going, why ot
ANurse it was to hear the band, but
p it did not appear and we have
s0yot found one of these wayfarers
disappointed, so it must have been
something else besides the band
~ Ar Da
alnd, are spending some time at the
ASPIRING. Mr.. Mckay is a native of
SSouth Carolina and owns a large
a4plantation in this state annd served
In the Confederate army. He was
irst lieutenant in Capt. McKerrals
Company and all the old soldiers
Wwho served with him have nothing
Ito say of him but praise. We hope
Ofor Mr.. and Mrs. Mckay a pleasant
E2Stay at the Springs
We second Editor Jordan's edi-
torial in regard to the building of
the Court House for Dillon county
I'm the street near the Methodist
...church and we have heard several
Wpeople express themselves and every
.aone with whom we have talked are
Tree to say that they would rather
Earee the Court House built at this
point than anywhere else. To
build a nice modern building here
it would be a beautiful and unob-
13bbstructed view from the passenger
>station of the A. c. l.. railroad. Now
Dfor instance take Bennettsville OF
S1course the Court House is not in
the street, but it faces the street
1erom the depot and going up this
street it gives a beautiful view of
the court house, and if the people
.at Bennettsville would only plant
sBgrass and vines on the square in
AnStead of horse traders there the
court house and square would COM
.SApare favorably with any we have
seen. We hope the commission
' may be able to deal for this prop
erty at the crossing of the streets
: S1at the Methodist church so they can
I>erect the house in the street and
then have ample room around it so
.Athe ladies of Dillon can have grass
planted and otherwise beautify the
.place. I say ladies because 1 know
If it is done they will have to be
= .S1erward in it.
Editor Jordan we hope you will
Skeep this issue up before the people
Aand stir the people generally for
