Th meetings of said club are for the very pland ible purpose of painting the Methodis church at Wilsons: and we are in deed to say have been liberally patronized. A4 the above mentioned meeting the doorkeei: er reported $5.20, which accounts for 5 persona being present. The treasurer r4 ported fifty odd dollars in Biand. So you sei besides having a very nice time we are omplishing a noble end.

Now, Mr. Edito if you don't believe what we tell you, a you've got to do prove it is to honor with a visit at our next meeting, the second Friday night in January. B. Even the most vigorous and hearty peep: have at times a feeling of wearinessand lal situde. To dispel this feeling take Dr.

H. T. Avant has moved into the village with his family. ir. Sam Sparks is making fine headway with his dwelling.

The Masons elected their officers for another year at their last meeting, and will install them on Dec. 27. Thanksgiving day was observcd in this place. The merchants all closed their stores. Dr.

J. R. Henderson, from Spartanburg, and Dr. A. J.

Briggs have ordered the lumber to build a drug store. Dr. Henderson has a fine reputation as a pharmacist. They expect to be ready for business by the 25th instant. Maj.

R. R. Briggs seems to be in luck. His fine jersey cow presented him with two calves about ten days ago. The Major shipped a box of iron over to Virginia to have the quality of the ore tested.

If it proves to be the right kind of ore the Maj. no doubt will open up a furnace in the village for smelting the Dr.Pritchett, of Wilmington, N. who was to deliver a lecture here failed to get here. Quite a crowd was disappointed. A building and loan association has been organized in this place, and is in working order.

The Rev. Mr. Boggs preached in the Presbyterian church here yesterday, and is spending some time with Maj. Briggs. The extension of time for paying taxes is what this county needed after so short a crop.

It will give those that are not able to pay time to make arrangements with their next year's advances and save executions. A bill to incorporate Summerton has passed its second reading. Don't know if it is wise or otherwise. Trade is not as brisk as the merchant would like. Money seems to be scarce.

P. Months ago, while summering together, we had agreed to combine our efforts, as soon as possible, in an attack upon the partridges. Last week was the set time, and quite a time it was. It gives me pleasure to be able to say that I handsomely cut the comb of the Panola crack-shot. I beat him shooting in the woods, in the fields, and 1in the public highway.

It really became pnful tome to have to "put sand in his ey" so often, but I succeeded in doing so, Sad so thoroughly that no ordinary sportsman need now fear to call him out to a con Itest. the last day of our hunt the Captain became desperate. It seemed to annoy him to think that a little fellow from Sumter, who had never attained to more than half his growth, should out shoot him; and in his desperation he sought the aid of a device unknown hitherto in the field. I am almost ashamed to tell on him, but in order to forewarn others of his friends, I must let the cat out of the bag. The trick was avery simple one.

While I slept, he emptied the shot from quite a number of my shells, and substituted therefor a lot of slugs of lcad. He knew that no mortal could strike a bird with such missiles, and this was his last a device to whip me out. It gratifies me to abe able to state, however, that I beat him shooting even then, and left him in a state of mental dejection that was pitiable to be- Ihold. In consideration of the above facts, Mr. Editor, I think it would be eminently proper for you to put your paper in mourning for -a couple of weeks, and send letters of con- dolence to all the kindred of the late la.

-Somrxn. eAbout his Brother. Several years ago my brother, who lives 1 with me, had a very strange sore to break on his leg--about half way between the Sbody and thc knee--which afterwards de. sveloped into a rose cancer. It resulted a bruise made by tie rubbing of the stirrup.

Sleather while riding. SThe cancer continued to grow until it was about five inches long, and three wide. The fesh sloughed off, black, rotten and foul, and it was almost impossible to procure a servant that would wait upon him, the air Iin the room where he lay being so foul that it would sicken anyone who entered.
