OUR NEIGHBORS. What the People Are Dome in Our Sister Towns. HARTWELL - SIX. The Literary Society is on a boom. Quite a number joined at the last meeting. The friends of Rev. M. T.. Carswell are gratified to see him up and about again. An enterprising young lady of our town walks two miles into the coun¬ try each morning to teach school.

A gentleman who lives not far from Royston came into our office Monday to pay his subscription, and when he found that he was two years in arrears wanted to pay us the inter¬ est. It paralyzed us. Such an offer had never been made to us before. When we expressed our astonished gratification he begged us not to pub¬ lish bis name, as he would be ashamed for people to know that lie was so far behind for his paper, which was but a result of carelessness. The principal satisfies us. The Hartwell Bank is now on a boom. The farmers of our county have very wisely determined to pay cash for their supplies this year, and the bank has been furnishing them large amounts on satisfactory terms. A few days ago they made a loan of over $1,600 to one of the Alliance lodges of our county, which will be distributed among the members, thus enabling them to take advantage of the low cash prices, which will be quite a saving and of mutual benefit to farmer and merchant. Other lodges would perhaps do well to fol¬ low suit. It would be well to get the Hartwell Bank’s terms before borrow¬ ing. It has plenty of money on hand. AMERICAS UNION.
