Heinemann, April 1:-On, what
beautiful weather, and the farmers
are putting in some hard work to
catch up with the days lost during
the past three weeks. The trees are
putting out their blooms on every
SIDE. Men have thrown off their coats
and are going about in their shirt
sleeves.
Oh, yes, can anyone tell through
your columns what has become of
the martins? They have not made
their appearance yet, as far as / can
see. When they come you may be
pretty sure that spring has opened
up for good.
Farmers are planting cotton.
There was no session of school to-
day, owing to report of roseola
among the children.
No shad have been caught in the
Santee river at this place so far this
