Greenwood, Nov. 2. Court con* venei here on Monday week Judge Townsend will pre* de and a heavy docket await* him. not withstanding eevera) extra and expensive terms of court. Supervisor Major reports the! rounty finance* to be in a healthy condition. While the price of cotton is low. the receipts here are unusually heavy, due to a large crop and the hauling in from a large territory, which make* j business and collections as good as in j the past. The city waterworks and electric j lights arc being weii patronixed by tbej citizens. The gates of the town and doors of every home Will he thrown wide open to the Methodist preachers and other delegates to the conference in Decem ber. Since to the victors belong the spoils, Mr. J. R. Tolbert has many friends here who arc glad that he has been landed in a good position. Al though differing from him in politics, no one has ever doubted his courage | or shifty, and all are. agreed that he deserves all he has ever received, from; his party. , If the state officials will only dls- j charge their duty promptly, there is no doubt that a large part of Donald's township will soon be annexed to Gtpenwood county a most valuable acquisition. Dr. Plunket of Augusta preached the anniversary sermon before the Woman's Missionary society in the j Presbyterian church Sunday. The church was crowded to hear this emi-i nent divine who, by his attractive personality, easy and magnetic stylo, i command of language, fund of infor-, tnation and gift of orator.-', held the. attention of his congregation for an hour, a rare attainment of preachers when discoursing on the subject of missions.
