Messrs. Burrelf ;& Paul are busy paint
ing the railing of the Park. This wilf
make the public square look much bright
er and more cheerful. A little paint and
whhewash often works miracles. And
by-the-by of Messrs. Burrell & Paul, we
hear they are already engaged to, paint
the new Church at Batesviile. # this is
true, the Batesviile people have. Gone
well. !.
Every sundt5 now the young people,
more or less, diiveoutinto the country 4
to T"big meetings. On, Sunday last,
Stevens, Creek was the point of attrac-
ton. Onnext Sunday, it will be, Mt.
Tabor. The meeting begins there on the
coming Saturday. Mr.. Broaddus will
60 thither instead of preaching here. And
his troops oftfricads and admirers will
be delighted to he;.r that the Rev. A.,P.
Norris viii also lend his aid at Mt. Tabor
The Association yfillbe heEdas Dry Creek
in the first part OF September. We hear
that the Rev. Luther Gwaithey will come
from Rome, Ga, to attend it; and that
he will come from Dry Creek to our
town-where he il, soswarmly beloved
and, assist Mr.. Eroaddus in holding a
meeting here. We earnestly hope this
may be SO.
Aud speaking of Rome, Ga, reminds I
us Of hearing lately that our old friend
and fornner fellow.citizen, Jas. B. Sulli-
van, Esq, had Become one of the model
farmers of that vicinity. They saythat
his farm lisa pattern, that his sgrain, grass
es and clover are wonderful to content
plate, ard that he has changed from
pale, Slim merchant into burly, brown
farmer-with all his, old-time integrity |
and reliability totally mistaken.
And speaking Of former fellow-citizens,
puts Us in mind OF, another we havaseen |
lately-our old friend, John Prescott,
now Oh Graniteville. Johns blood, yog
remember, was the FIRST split in the late
war. At parade OF Minute Men in 1860,
John was the cannonier, and by the burst
ing Of gun lost his left arm. Wei, as
we were returning from flying trip to
Augusta ON Friday last, We espied, in
the neighborhood OF the Langley dam,
our.old friend above named. he. was
returning home from fishing. Across
his bereaved shoulder he bore long
pole. Swinging to the pole, aft. was
huge turtle weighing not less than
thousand pounds, while forward dangled
,doSen sfaaoreS thriving mud cats that
vriggled and twisted in q manner fear
fu to behold. As the train whizzed by,
thtturtle. .poked out its neck three yards.
or bore, evidently Bent upon getting a
gootlook. We emalated the turtle and
poke our neck three yards opt Of the
car w4dow, sbrieking Like catamount,
trying make John recognize ds9 But

And antem about still another old
friend--6nl. M. W. Gary. We hear
that, on hlEaS towhite Sulphur Springs
= the other d. he lost his trunk in Rich
