HARDY'S HAPPENINGS.
Sunshine Needed. Miss Buffers
Fine Corn. Two Marriages
This Week. Much
Mud.

We are on with our rainy season
for July and General Green and his
army are taking possession of the
crops. Where they were worked
out nicely early they are growing
and looking very nicely. We hope
for a week or so of sunshine now,
so the cotton and corn can be work
ed again before General Green gets
too deep hold on us. Lanes that
have been too hard and dry to plow
in peas, up to Thursday morning,
got thoroughly wet, Thursday af-
ternoon and Saturday and Sunday,
for we had quantities of hard rain
and wind and that bent the corn
over very badly.
Speaking of corn, Miss Lizzie
Butler. just above the Hampton
Terrace hotel on North Augusta has
the grandest corn we have seen this
season. We very much fear the
wind broke lot of her corn down,
it was so laden with large ears. Miss
Lizzie is a splendid farmer. Her oats
were very fine this spring and now
on that land her peas are growing
beautifully. Miss Mamie Butler has
a fine herd of cattle and dairy
product. Two mighty fine ladies
that two bachelors ought to try and
persuade to manage homes for
them.
We hear of two marriages this
eek TO take place Tuesday, July
IL, Miss Matte Lanham to Mr..
Greg McCutchin Wednesday morn
ing and at 6 o'clock Miss May Ro-
per to Mr.. Willie Burkhalter will
he married at the brides fathers,
Mr.. J. II. P. Roper, in North Au-
gusta and leave on the GAO train
for Asheville, TO spend their honey
moon. We wish for these happy
young people all the good things
of this life. We hope most sincerely
it may be pretty clear weather for
both couples. There will be many
disappointed soul if it rains Tues
day for it is so far to Republican
church and the mud gets so deep
and slippery that the automobiles
cannot get the bride and groom to
Augusta in time for their train.
Mrs. H. w. McIlie gave Miss
Matte Lanham shower Friday
afternoon. There were many varied
and useful and pretty gifts for the
hride.to-be. Quite a pleasant after
noon for all present.
Mrs. H. G. Bunch and two chill
dren spent Thursday with her ia
theirs family. Mrs. Bunch was
in the hard rain about a mile from
home but did not get wet.
Mrs. Julia Townes is still in
Greenwood visiting her sister, Mrs.
George Anderson.
Miss Mary Townes and Miss
Marjorie McKie trotted to Augusta
and back Thursday morning and
Miss Marjorie spen the night with
Miss Mary.
Master Willie McKie has been
quite busy during this wet spell
threshing grain for his mother,
Mrs. Georgia McKie also Messrs.
George and Tom Mckie, George
and Frank Townes, Herbert Bunch,
Milton Barker and Joe Bunch.
Masters Willie McKie and Frank
Townes, Jr., deserve great credit
for their management of the farms
since the death of their father. Of
course their mothers directed them.
We were very sorry indeed not
to be able to attend services at
Sweetwater Sunday as the protract-
ed meeting began there. Hope to be
able to attend during the week II
it doesn't rain every day.
Mrs. Georgia McKie, Alice,
Dorothy and Lois, spent Sunday af-
ternoon at the home of Mr.. Harry
Bunch.

Matte and Lena Lanham down TO
