need at the Empire Store. We
havo noted the above bargains, and
havent space to speak of the mag
uificent display of lovely silks, veh
v ets, lace oversuits, ribbons, etc.
'lhese occupy no small space.

shoe soles!
The many ftiends of Col, E C

The death of Roseoe Colliding

BLOUNTS! ILLE ITEMS.
As I never see any’ mention ofonr
litt e village in your paper probably
a few little dots may not be amiss.
The farmers are much behind
with their work, owing to the con
tinued rains of March and April, and
now find themselves into the mid
dle of “Gentle Spring” and cotton
planting season with very little
work done.
Every one seems to be trying to
lake advantage of tlio pretty spell
we are having, and the squeak ol
the cotton-planters is heard on
every side.
The corn crop is up beautifully,
and a good acreage has been plan
ted. It seems as if tho olt reitera
ted admonitons of the newspaper
man in regard to the raising of plen
ty of “hog and hominy” is being
acted on.
On the 17th inst. quite a nico little
eveut occured at tho residence of
Mrs. J. T. Williams. The quilting
ofan Album quilt, intended for a
rising . . young physician ... of .. this , . place, ,
who nas worked himself into the
good graces of all the ladies around,
Quite a crowd of ladies assembled,
married and unmarried, and after
several hours of good work with
deft fingers (and tongues) they re
paired to the dining room, where an
elegant table Was spread, loaded
down with subs’antials,supplement
ed with an abundance of cake, ice
cream, etc. After dinner the quill
was quickly finished and all agreed
they had spent t he most pleasant
day in a long while. No gentlemen
were expected and our clever host
finding that ho was likely to bo the
only mala representative to face all
the array of feminine beauty sud
denly remembered having uigent
business in Clinton 1 .So the ladies
bad the field entirely.
For fear this will land in the
waste basket, l’il close immediate
