THE MULE RACE
The mule race at Wheatland, Saturday was probably the most "amusing" amusement ever held in the county. A base ball match between the Curtis Hill Club and a picked nine also took place on the grounds at the same time, which was won by the Curtis Hill boys. With flying balls kicking mules, and clouds of dust, the locality was not a save one, so we shifted our position to the sidewalk in front of Wood's drug store - where we found Alec, dispensing his sparkling soda water to the thirsty crowd - and concluded to view the scene from a distance, leaving our correspondent to forward the result of the day's doings. The judges' stand, an improvised affair, gave way shortly after the races commenced, doubtless owing to the weight of the ponderous bell which hung upon it. (It was a cowbell.) We have not the space to spare to note the many laughable incidents which occurred, but suffice it to say that every body felt that they had spent a festive afternoon.

A.A. Woods, the Richburg druggist, was handsomely remembered by the children of the S.B. church Sunday school, Christmas. They quietly raised a fund amongst themselves, bought a splendid gold watch chain of your jeweler, Mr. Lane, and presented to Mr. Woods in token of his efficiency in Sunday school and church work. Mr. Woods values his chain very much, not for its intrinsic value only but for the loving kindness which prompted the gift. We all hope that Mr. Woods will live long and remain in our midst for Richburg is not itself without him.
