If not adverse we thought we would
give you few dots this Tuesday
morning, so that old Caroline Chapel
would not be entirely ignored this
week. 1t seems as if all the other
writers have about quit, for which l
am very sorry as learn great deal
of the happenings of our little settle
men that would not learn otherwise.
Come on, We Caroline Chapel cores
poudents, and let's have all the news
of the whole surroundings.
Our literary school is still progress
ing very satisfactorily. and our sing
ing school conducted by Prof. Furgus-
on is Furnishing If not hindered by
any unforeseen cause he will close this
term next Saturday night, and every
body has a cordial invitation to come
out and witness the closing exercises.
Ye writer has been very much on
the puny list ever snce he began this
school and has not been able to attend
any, for which we are awful sorry, as
we fully intended being with him in
his work and lending him all the aid
possible. We are very anxious for our
people to get up good cheir, as we
certainly enjoy good singing, but poor
singing is more like the "grsting of
toads in frog pond" than refined
music. We hope they will give Prof,
Ferguson another term, as, according
to my experience, at the close of the
first terms they have just begun to
learn how to learn, so let's all put our
efforts together and work him up an
other 10 nights school, and by so do
ing l think then we will be fully quail
flied to render some music worth lis
tening to.
Well, we have had some visiting in
and out of our settlement. Mr.. and
Mrs. Melvin Moore visited the lat
ter's mother near Sulphur Springs,
who is aud has been for some time
very indisposed, last Saturday night,
and report her little better.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alvin Billingsley
visited the latter's newly married sis
ter, Mrs. Nettie Moore Gates, who
is now domiciled in the Ketner house
at Victoria, Sunday and report nice
and pleasant visit.
Oscar Hancock, of the Ebenezer set
Element, called on Eph Pitman Sun
day. l will not now mention the OBJ
iect of his call, nevertheless, while
there he and Eph changed horses.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown Rogers, of
near Jasper, was seen going up the
road Sunday Mr.. Rogers has lost
yearling, and he leaves his ninety and
nine and seeks after the one that is
missing.
W. c. Moore made short call on
Mr.. and Mrs. Jno. Spears Sunday
and found them very cheer
full as usual. Mr.. Spears is getting SO
large and feshy that it makes him
puff and blow terribly to stir around.
Mrs. Spears seems to be in very deli
cate health, though cheerful.
Mrs. Frank Thomason and childlen,
of Bennettville, visited at Mr.. and
Mrs, John Hunley's Sunday.
Miss Lille McNabb and brother,
Rowan, called on the Misses Lewis
Saturday night.
Geo. H. Lewis looks awful sweet
nowadays. He has been steaming over
the sorghum pan for few days, max
ing "sweetlasses' for Jas Pitman.
We hope there will be sufficiency
Of molasses produced this year, as sug-
ar has got so expensive 1 guess we
will have to sweeten our coffee with
sorghum.
Ye writer made business trip to
Whitwell Monday.
John Gates and son, Ben, took a
load of sweet potatoes to Whitwell
Monday and sold them to the produce
buyer, H. S. Layne. John has the
finest sweet potatoes have seen this
year. His is of the pumpkin yam va
riety, and are sure fine.
Well, good luck to all, Old Joe.
