Died. - Near Cherokee Mills. We re gret to bear of the death of Mr. Geo. Cook, he has been a resident of this coumy for near 40 yeurs, and was highly esteemed and respected by all with w horn lie, bad dealing or intercourse His death occurred on may the 4th 1881, He was born in Union county, S. C., HICKORY FLAT SHOTS. Cotton is rapidly being put to a stand •ud is growing fiuely. The rust struck our wheat a few days ago and wheat field- 1 are now covered and the blade dying, this is dishearten ing to the fanner. Movie from the locusts from morn till night Wheat has commenced to head out but tbe head ia short and light. Jack Archie one day last week while in motion on a Wring tell some fit teen feet to the ground. The fall knocked him lifeless for a while, and it was thought that he was dead, but it waa found that be wi.s only stunned but bad ly hurt. I will try and write my next when it ain't wash day, for you know that one can't write when lie cornea to the house and finds hi, wife crying and when ask<-d what's the matter slia savs that tho cliil dren throws dirt ui the wash water, and the baby keeps ou crying, aud the chick ens wout stay out of the house, and she wishes that, well, never mind. News of interest rather scarce. A mud dog was killed in this neigh borhood a few days ago, after biting several other dogs. Farmers badly behind with their work.

I write yon a few lines which I hope may i-scapa tlie awful talons of the waste basket: Our little place 1s vtdy qhlct, as molt everybody is busy at work In tlie fields. We bad a g- od rain on last Sunday evening, which raised Sfeoal Creek so that it waa impossible to cross it for some time at the ford. 7here was some hail near here, but damaged nothing that 1 heard of. Farmers are getting along tolerably well, consideriuj^he late spring aud so much wet weather. Wheat is excellent in this sectiou ami commencing to head. From the preaent prospects we will Soon have buiscuit. Oats look well also, and I hope we will have a good yield, even ’"an hundred fold.” Oop J. J. Sharp has discovered some fine Mineral Springs on his laud. Capt. Sherwood moved his futility to tbia place last Saturday. The locusts huve not visited this sec- tiou yet, though very plentiful two or three miles below here. Splendid crop of huckleberries around Walesca, of which we had some nice pies recently. A nice drove of loose mules running at large in this settlement, yet too young to work. Several years ago there were two very dr.-11 brothers living in Clara county, Gu., by tlie name of Martin and Willis T—, (1 will not give the Bir-namc.) and one day they had been out in the forest, chopping wood, and on tlieir return home, Martin saw a lion* in a tree that, had b.-eu cut for the purpose of catching a rabbit. S > tlie thought struck him that lie might do something night then wort liy of great praise, and he said 10 Willi-: ‘T bet you I can poke iny bead in that bole.” “You better keep your head out of there, you-hgt,” said Willis, lint Afartiu was determined to try it, so lie proceeded to try the experiment, and poked his liOad in the hole—and in 1 auck, tor the splinters on the inside of the cut place would not admit ot its escape, and Willis hollowed out, “Mart. I bet there's a snake in that old tree!— there is, for don’t you hear it sing?” “help! help I help!" cried J/art, “cut the hole bigger with the axe, Wilis, trying all tbe while to extricate himself by main staength. “Ishant do it, I sbant,» said Wilis, I might cut your head off, I might, you was a foi>l for putting your head in there, you was. I’ll go git the augerand bore your head out, I will. But before be coaid hare time to get the auger Mart had uunagtd to pull bis bead out. Though not without great dttriiaeat t • the dermis of his head, neck and ears. It is said he never trkcl the experiment ugaiu. More uuon. Hosier. Mary Leonard, colored, who lives five miles from this place, with tlie family of a Mr. Self, was committed to jail on 11 charge of concealing the dead body of her infant. It was hid behind a log about a hundred yards tfroni tlie premi ses, where it remained for two weeks be fore it was discovered on last Friday ev ening. She wns seen to frequent the place where the child was very rudely burried every day, and suspicion finally rioeoed into a search when the infant's body was found. A ooroner’s jinquest was held on Moadaj^last over tlie bones of the child, and a verdict rendered “that it camo to its death from an un known cause,” yet it is supposed to be a first class case of infanticide, and tlie mother will bo held for trial at tho Au gust term of Cherokee Superior Court.

U I don’t want that Stuff,” Is what a lady of Boston said to her hus band when he brought home some medi cine to cure her ol sick headache and neuralgia which had made tier miserable for fourteen years.
