Special invitations were issued and
those who were lucky enough to re

swr? gatherings during the
summer.
Will Close at Six.
There has been no concerted ac¬
tion in that direction but one or two
of our business houses have begun to
close at six o’clock in the evening, and
it is thought that all will join in the
movement in a few more days. They
should for it is due both the business
men and their employees that they
have some time for recreation. The
plan proved very satisfactory last sum¬
mer.
Sunshine and Showers.
That is the way it at this season of
the year, and so it is all through the
life of man. We are constantly
meeting with sunshine of hope and
promise and with showers of despond¬
ency and disappointment. Those who
buy their watches, jeweler, clocks and jewelry
of Skill', the are not apt to
meet with any of the last named if
they expect to get the best for the
least money.
A Good Man Gone.
Mr. Mack II. Young, one of the
county’s oldest and best citizens died
at his residence near Stephens Monday
last after a short illness. In his death
the county loses one of its staunchest
residents. He was for several years
Sheriff of the county and has held oth¬
er positions of trust, proving faithful
in them all. He leaves a large family
to mourn their loss, and many friends
and acquaintances will mourn with
them.

haven't fully decided upon the matter
but it is thought now they will have
one probably to-morrow week. Nor
has the place been decided upon but
many are in favor of going to Watson’s
mills 011 Broad river. This is a beau¬
tiful place for such a gathering, and
the young people will enjoy a day
spent among the beautiful scenery to be
found there.
Will Try Beets.
A Dew craze has struck a number of
farmers in different portions of the
county. It is to raise beets, carrots and
such like for stock food. Beets seem
to be the most popular of these pro¬
posed crops and we know of several
farmers who will plant largely of them
as an experiment. They are said to
make a fine food for stock aud that
untold amounts will can be produced per
acre. We watch the experiments
with interest.
A Missionary Quilting.
The ladies of the Baptist missionary
society have arranged a novel enter¬
tainment for tonight. It will be an
old Masonic time quilting except large that crowd it will be
in hall that a may
be accommodated. There will be do
charge for admission, but come pre¬
pared to bid heavily for the quilts
which will be turned out by the deft
fingers of these ladies. The novelty
of the thing will doubtless draw a
large gathering.

They Readily Gave Bond,
When we went te press with our
last issue of The Echo (Thursday
evening) Messrs. Gaulding, Shaw and
Salmons, who had on that day been
granted the had permision succded by the judge making to
give bail, not in
their bonds, but before night arrange¬

made and the prisoners from
custody. Eaeh made seperate bonds
with several bondsmen ou each paper.
At least one of the accused may be
tried at the May term of the Superior
court.
Meeting With Success.
' Mr. A. B. Brooks, who is working
up the Farmers Mutual insurance
Company for this county, was in to see
us Wednesday and reports that he is
meeting with good success in securing
risks for the company. This being
virtually a home affair in the hands of
home officers after it is fully organized

besides affording insurance at a very
low rate. Any who Mr. Brooks has
failed to call upon in his rounds who
want to go into the company can call
upon us at this office and we will take
their applications for insurance.

then the absence of that dollar will

that. It is not as hard for you to pay

a dollar in the summer when he does
not know where auother is to come

these facts? If you want the paper
continued to your address come for¬

—Mr. Wat. Eberhart and daughter,
Miss Mattie, and Mrs. 13. 13. Williams
will doubtless go to Dallas, Texas,

three cases in our town since it com¬
menced. < >nly one case now and that

tist church is being sawed this week.

harder for tramps to get a living with¬

than is needed to settle our sons aud
daughters on. Hold up.
—The minister’s and deacon’s meet¬
ing of the Sarepta Association that
met at Cabin Creek last Friday was the
best in the history of the organization.
The sermons and speeches were of a
higher order than formerly and the at¬

Young, Elders, and Weaver Hardman,
Kelley, Stark, Elliott and others were
present.
—Mrs. John O’Kelly died at her
home in Clarke county last Tuesday.

years, with every prospect to invite a
long lease of life, the dread summons
came and removed her to “that bourne
whence no traveler returns” leaving a
disconsolate husband and family to
mourn her loss. May Heaven give
that balm of cousolatiou to the family
that alone can heal their sorrows.
