The beautiful, accomplished and fascinating
Misses Anna and Tennie Howard, of Enter
prise, have returned from Kentucky, where
they have been going to school at Cedar Bluff
College. Miss Anna, we believe, is a gradu-
ate; she has fine musical talent, and as per-
former on the piano has few equals. She
plays with artistic skill, and with touch that
Thalberg himself could hardly surpass in
point of sweetness and mastery execution.
As we are fond of music, and are often ''moy-
ed with concord of sweet sounds" we think
we will join "Giddens' Band"
FISHING PARTY.
Five young men, of a piscatOry turn OF
mind, absented themselves from this village
week before last for Buffalo, in quest of nib
bles and bites. One is from Nashville, one
from Columbia, and three from here. As they
were all amateurs or novices in the wild
woods, and had not the craft of old path
finder" or "Black headed Bob Frierson" in
dim roads, they would have been hopelessly
lost, had it not been for an unsophisticated
and generous youth of the jungles OF old Law
renee, OF the "Wandering Jew" tribe, coming
to their rescue; to whom their DEVOTED moth
ers, "who didn't krOw they were out" are
under lasting obligations. One OF the young
men, to show bis heartfelt gratitude, Invested
himself of his last garment, with his beautiful
"shoo-fY" cravat attached, "a novelty in that
country which the young ladies of Columbia
SO much admired, and gave it to little
moses" who led them out of the wilderness.
They did not have much luck, as they never
found the creek.
"FIpUS EFT AUDAX."
MIR. F. Baltzell, the talented and handsome
young editor of the spicy sheet" the Mariana
(Fla.) Courier, and who has the richest gifts
of genius and of fancy, is On a visit to this
healthy country, his health having been on
gradual decline. He concluded to leave his
home, where the rose geranium, the hello
trope and the grand magnolia load the air
with their sweetest fragrance, all of which had
just as well waste its sweetness on the desert
air, for they haye lost all their charms for
him. He came to this country, where he
thinks he can repair his nervous system, and
brace up his physical energies with a balm
that is more potent as q recuperant than all
the botanic kingdom has ever produced, or
the blindest disciple of the old medical dog
mas has ever found. AS the cholera is
think it very imprudent for those not acclmat-
ed to remain long in this atmosphere; or to use
the vernacular of the country, "they had bet

LOST CHILD
Mr. T.aPkar and yUifa uhn live nu Saw
Greek in Lawrence county, went out to the
field to work one day last week, leaving q lit
tie girl, three years old, at home, In charge of
boy about six. After they had been gone
an hour or two, the boy went out to pick ber-
ries leaving the little girl in the house, who,
finding the boy had gone, it is supposed at
tempted to follow him, and wandered off in
the woods. The parents coming TO the house
to dianer, fodnd to their sorrow that their lit
tie child was missing. As the house is in
the midst of a dense woods, thick brush and
fallen trees, and they being but recently from
Germany, and unused to forest life, their ago
ny was terrible We happened to be passing
near, and new er will we forget the heart-rend-
ing wall of the mother and the shrek of ago
ny of the father. Shrill, tremulous and pro-
lOnged, il seemed to be the very ely of death
that rent the air. 1t would be difficult TO con-
vey to the minds of those that never witnessed
such scene, the horror that is attached to it.
After mastering all the force in the country
and hunting until dark, it was temporarily
abandoned, to be resumed in the morning.
Capt. Sam. Strickliu. who lives near, started
about ten o%ock, P. n, or er to Henryyllle, to
get all the force he could from that quarter.
In passing through dense thicket, he heard
noise, and looking farther, he saw the little
girl in tree-tOp, in perfect state OF nudity,
badly scratched and torn by the brieTs and
bushes, 1t had wandered mile from home,
Distress happiness.
Capt. J. c. Cooper and Mr.. Charley King
have purchased strictly No. l steam saw

cate it in the neighborhood of Col. Nat. W.
Jones, on the waters of Camp Branch, four
miles northwest of this place. May the Y

this move, for they are both enterprising, in
dustriOus and deserving gentlemen.

THE PICNIC.
At 10 o'clock on Thursday morning OF last
week, the bell called the multitude to assem-
BILE in the Methodist Church, which was soon
filled. After the usual prelimiharies, prayer
BY Mr.. Jas. Andrus, the sweet carol music,
which was poured forth by the little ones, aid
ed by the matrons and sires, had power
enough to charm the savage breast, and fill
the heart of the civilian. Mr. G. 3. Hill, of
Columbia, was then introduced, who arose and
delivered most beautiful and CLASSIC lecture,
on the importance of Sunday Schools. Mr..
Hills address was replete with profound
thought, and his delivery perfectly captiVat-
ing. He is pleasant and modest, as he is
talented and promising. The line of march
was formed, the students of the Sunday Schools
in front, and repaired to the beautiful and
shady grove of Mr.. Hint. Williams, where a
bountiful dinner was spread, of which all par
took, and smiles of satisfaction were on the
face of every attendant.
Prof. w. X. Jones RECALLED the village with
his sparkling expression ON Saturday last.
His private business is his own, but we hope
his public business is to aid in establishing
and locating the Vanderbilt branch school at
this place.
