PLUM. BRANCH GROWING.
Flourishing Crops, Good Out
look For Larger Yields. Re-
vival Meeting Held by
Mr.. Kinard.

me space IN your paper to tell you
what we are doing up here in this
faraway corner of oldlEdgeheld. You
would think !: you did not know
better, to hear McCormickite
speak of this little spot of the
world that we were more than one
hundred miles from the county seat
and really were different nation
ality. Furthermore what wonder
full change it will make in our con-
dition if we would vote for a new
county and have Mccormick for
the county seat. Why it makes US
fellows rich and every man, woman
and child feel like they were about
to enter into new realm. The
facts are that we will have all that
heart could wish, and when you
will have gained the fight and the
new county established if there is
anything and you are not happy we
Of the town or city of Mccormick
will make up what is lacking, yes
we viii see to it that every one has
public road at his door and
bridge, and steel one, across every
branch wherever desired and we of
the city will foot the bill. Maybe
so, yes, the Indian puts it.
Mr.. Editor, since the rains have
come and revived our crops and
everything fourishing every one
has smile that bespeaks happiness,
yes, the cry is on'every lip, l never
saw such a change in So short
time. crops are growing more rapid
ly than 1 ever saw them. Why the
ch enge is wonderful and the opinion
is that we will if there is no back
set to the crops make better crops
than last year, especially the corn
is much better, that is all except
the early corn. The rains came too
late fer early corn.
Well, brother, we are glad to
state that our lay brother Kinard
from Ninety six has just closed
ten days meeting here and we are
glad to say that it was good to be
here and enjoy the good earnest
preaching of brother Kinard. I
guess you know he has the title of
lay evangelist. He brought his wife
and daughter and pianist Landrum
to make the music which was grand.
With that accomplished daughter
and good and godly mother to lead
the singing and professor Laadrum
at the piano we had inspiring mu
sic that brought church members
that had grown old aud Indifferent
to renew their covenant and get
closer to their duty and lead world
ly youths to think of their condi
tion and turn over a new leaf and
live better life. The services were
held in the Methodist church but
all Joined in as one church and took
care of the preachers and the crowds
that come, and we think much good
will come to the community.
Brother Sexton, the Baptist
minister, will begin a protracted
meeting in the Baptist church next
Monday, the 18th, which will last
through the week. AS the people
are through with their work we
hope to see large crowds out to
hear the good preaching that we
are looking for.
The roads are a little rough, but
we hope the supervisor will be
around soon and fill up the worst
places anyway and by so doing ne
may check some of the new county
objections to the old county neg
lecting our roads. We are moving
along nicely with our town affairs.
The prospects are that we will need
one or two more business houses
here this fall to take care of the
business that a good crop will justi-
fy. The Georgia trade is increasing
and we need more merchants. There
is good proposition here for an
experienced merchant with 2 or 3
thousand dollars in cash to go in
with good partner here this fall

B. Sturkey.
Brother Minis I have written
more than l started out to write
but excuse this and we will do bet
ter in the future.
