Mr. and Mrs. Anderson of Laures have been on a visit to the family of the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Hillhouse in this City. Mrs. Weil performed on the organ at the Presbyterian Church last Sunday morning. Mrs. Dantzler, Mrs. Westmoreland and Mr Morgan of the Baptist Church aided with their voices in the rendering of music. Mr. John H. Rice of Sterling Grove got a stand of cotton on his land excepting on a few acres. Dr. J. R. Wilkinson and his bride returned home from their bridal trip on Saturday last. They were away longer than they at first intended to be. We had a pleasant call on Monday from Mr. James Shumate and his sister Miss Florence Shumate of Travelers' Rest. Miss Florence says she has a good garden and is looking after it herself. Mr. E. M. Keith, who has been in Greenville for several months past, has returned to Pickens his native County, and will farm near Table Mountain. Mr. Isidore Evans of Oak Lawn, gave us a pleasant call last Wednesday. We always enjoy conversation with him. Mr. Z. F. Green of Traveler's Rest, gives this description of the condition of the cotton and corn prospects: Corn has come up well and there is a good stand and is looking well; cotton planted early, came up tolerably well and there is a fair stand-that which was planted later has not come up so well, and there is not a good stand. He began planting cotton on the 11th of April, which was a week or ten days earlier than the previous year. There is plenty of fruit on the trees. Leigh C.
