Well, another week gone by anil farmers Bti 11 at work, and as Hill Arp says, "the sun Is mighty hot too," and we agree with him for we had the pleasure of driving the plow a little during the past week. More line rains since our last, though I think no one can complain of too much, for all the crops were in Hue condition and are now looking flner. Miss Zula Brock, our verv estimable and accomplished IfatrhfT- him hp?n nn?.ni1lni? iho week visiting friends in and around Warrenton. Miss Brock will leave us this week for her home in Due West. She has made many friends during the past year and all bate to see her leave. Miss Rosa Wilson of Fondvllle has been visiting friends in town during the past week. Miss Wilson Is a favorite in our town u.nd we *re always glad to welcome her. Ml?s Kllle Wilson of Columbia Is In Fondvllle for the summer. Miss Kllle has been suffering a great deal with her eyes and we understand has had bad health and Is visiting this section hoping to recuperate. Fondvllle being one of Warrenton's suburban towns, she has made a fine selection as the record shows our town to be the healthiest in the state. Miss Janle McNeil has been spending a week or so in Sbaron neighborhood with relatives and friends. Miss Llla Wilson and Miss Jane Thomas visited friends and relatives In Sharon last Friday. It was our pleasure to attend the ice cream festival last Friday night at Mr. David Gilliam's given for the benefit of the school building, and from what we could see all seemed to enjoy themselves. The Program was carried out to the letter, and lor the public, we thank the fair hostess. Miss Bertha Gilliam for making It so pleasant for all. A handsome profit was realized. The game of ball announced for Saturday, June 6, did not come, owing to some misunderstanding among the players, but we hope to entertain the public In the future. There were quite a large congregation at Warrenton Sunday, and were treated to a flue sermon by the pastor, Iiev. H. C. Kennel. His discourse, infused with some flue food for the spiritual appetite. The candidates; what has become of them, we have heard comparatively little of them and it seems thai none are coming out for the Legislature, though we are glad to welcome Messrs Gary and McQill and think they will get our town's support, and by the way, gentlemen what about the abolition of the Citadel? From what we can learn there's certainly something wrong with the management of the finances and we hardly think it will bear investigation. It seems very strange, the board of visitors Bbould allow each cadet ouly $32 per year and require him to buy his books and bed-clothlug when previous to the session of '94-95, the cadet s were furnished with books and bedclothing and allowes $72 each and then tbe State only appropriated 518,000 lor the Bchools support, while this year the Stale gives it 821,000. There is certainly something materially wrong and it should be investigated as it is now, there is no inducement for one to try for tbe appointment, and less for one to pay hiB way through as he is required to pay ?.100 to the treasurer and then only get S32 back to pay for his books, for clothing, and uniforms, sboes and to supply his room which will cost him the flrst year, at least 872 and if any one wish a statement in details let it be known and we will take pleasure in furnishing it and furthermore, we will defy any one to deny it. (iulte a large number from Lebanon worshipped at Warrenton Sunday. Mr. It. C. Wilson of Clinton has been in town for a day or so attending the meeting at the I'resByterian church which closes Sunday night. Several of the boys and girls from here at College are expected home in a few days. Mr. Jue. Gibert and Miss fiflle and Miss Nannie Watson speutSuuday in Warrenton. Mr. Jno. Wilson of Graicridge, another one of Warrentou's suburban towns, was the guest ol Mr. W. 13. Wilson Saturday night. Clio. DUE WEST. Ready Tor Commencement?Visitors? Other XewN. Due West. S. C., June 8, 1896. Commencement preparations are now complete lor the accommodation and comfort of all comers. We expect the largest crowd that has attended In years. They will be handsomely entertained and comfortably seated. Our new ball can seat all the candidates and nil the voters necessary to elect, and the thermometer never goes above 80, so yoa can keep cool while here. Don't forget Sabbath day's exercise. Dr. W. M. Grier will conduct them In the morning and Dr. Hall in the evening. A cordial invitation is extended to all. The following persons from Due West attended union meeting at Downdesvllle: T. L. Haddon, Masters Earnest Clinkscales and Charlie McKay, Rev. J. A. Brown, Miss Elner Ciinkscales, Miss Alpha McGee, Miss Lulu McGee, Mr. J. R. McUee and wile and Mrs. II. P. McGee.

Hunt, of the Southern, has been here, arranging with the students as to transportation. We will give a full account of our Commencement with all programme's, etc., next week: A Confederate Veterans Camp was organized Saturday at Donalds, with a membership ol sixty or more. McUowan's Camp was the name given the Camp. Rev. 0. Y. Bonner preached at Kay's school house Sabbath evening; Rev. S. A.Rogers, Abbeville, Sabbath morning; J. B. Hood, Bethlehem-; J. C. Douglas, Ebenezer. The Presbyterian contained an article last week on duns, which reminds us that most people object to duns, when really it should be the reverse. When a person duns you. of course he thinks you have money. The idea of any one thinking you had money when you haven't, should put a smile upon your countenance intend of a sneer. We wrote the Due West dots at Abbeville last week, and thought that as we. were having much rain at Abbeville, we of course wnnld hnvp anmo at Due Woct and nn nnnnppri the drouth broken. Such in not the case, as we still need rain, not having had a season since April 1st. Miss Mary Maddox will attend commencement at Greenville this week. Birth?To Mrs. J. T.

Washington, May 28.?As a result of an agreement bet ween the Democratic and Republican caucuses ol the.Seuate several weeks ago a partial change of the ollicers has been going (III III lilt; UIUl'C Ul U1C OCLl ULUl J uuu sergeant-at arms. II Ik understood that each Senator, whether chairman of commltte or not, will have his secretary and a messenger to assist him In the transaction ot his business, and that he will retain tils patronage whether his party be iu the control of the Senate or not. The Senate has what In known aH a permanent roll, which is made up of men of experience, ability and technical knowledge In their respective duties, and who are kept without reference to Individual Senatorial support. Such retentions are made by the Democratic and Republican steering committees jointly, based upon merit and qualification. Places such as the legislative clerk, journal clerk, financial clerk and librarian have neen on the list, and the present occupants of these places have been in the service of the Senate lor more than a score of years. Several places have been added to 1 lie list, and among the lucky otlicers is Mr. James M. Baker, the assistant librarian, who Is from Abbeville County, S. C. Mr. Baker has held this position since the reorganization of the Senate in 1S'J3, and by attention to his duties and uniform courtesy has won the recognition of Senators on both Hides of the Senate.
