Lisbon Locals.

Lisbon, S, c., Dec. I've have
nothing out of the ordinary that is
one reason we don't ask you to print
what little we have and send you,
| however, we want to tell you the few
| happenings in and around Lisbon. The
working class feel that they are about
ready to enjoy the holidays as they
have nothing to do. The cotton crop
was gathered and sold here by the
vrst of December, thing that we
| never nave seen before, and from the
| effects Of short crop, the people are
asking themselves the question: What
is the outlook going to bring forth?"
Well, there is always way out of
these troubles. We will have to work
more and spend less. If the banks
fail to let us have the money, we GER
tainly will spend less. There will be
much moving among renters and crop
pers. That is always the case, when
people get more than they can pay
for. We see more oats being sowed,
but very little wheat. They say we
can't make wheat like we used too.
We can't think that the soil has chang
from former years. No, that is not the
case. If it were, we would plant less
cotton after a year like this one. We
plant SO little that we don't miss it,
let it be much or little. Some Of our
farmers have made plenty of corn,
whi1n nth ~
amount to anything. Making no corn
is on the line of no wheat. We don't
plant enough, this is the reason.
Mr.. w. p. Morris will move to
Machen place near Laurens.
Mr.. Green Fuller will move to Cold
Point on Mr.. Tom Shaw's place.
Mr.. Pink Fuller will move beyond
the river on Mr. Whit Adair's place.
Mr.. Austen Fuller will move to Mr..
John NJ, Simmons place near Mount
vile.
Mr.. Ed Fuller has gone to some
place in North Carolina
Mr.. Norwood Martin, of Cold Point.
will move on the farm that Mr.. w. p.
Morris vacated.
Mr.. Ch2res Nilam will live at the
Z eague place that he and his brothers
Blume and Henry, bought several
years ago.
Uncle Simpson Malone is getting up
money to build house in case some
one will let him have enough land
tO huild nm IVa boDo tbot tb;, 1Id
soldier will get the money and soon
be in house of his own Some are
giving very literally to this worthy
old gentleman. He is 81 years ond
and is too old to work for his sup
port. We are satisfied that the peo-
pie will never forget those old soldiers
who stood behind their guns.
j. T. A. Ballew. went out yester-
day morning to hunt. When he fired |
at the first bird, the left hand barrel |
bursted wide open. He loaned his
gun to negro Thanksgiving, and af-
ter examining he found that the negro
had stuck the gun in the ground as
the other barrel had mud in it.
= Mrs. Mary Milan has been very
sick but she is some better, we are
glad to state. Also Mrs. Eliza Fuller.
Miss Frances Smith, who teaches
in the graded school at Jonesville,
came home to spend Thanksgiving.
Miss Alma Garrett will spend the |
holidays at home after which time,
she will return and commence her
duties at the Lisbon high school, We
are very much pleased with Miss
Garrett.
