PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.

Rev. II. \. Jones, c. P. minister OF this
place, will visit his old home, England, in
short time. He will take intermediate pass
age on the ship. Brother Jones has done
noble work here, and many prayers will
follow him across the briny deep. His
abundant labors have greatly injured his
health, and we trust that his trip will fully
restore him to health.
We were pleased to meet yesterday our
afubIc young friend Mr.. James i. smith,
formerly of Fayetteville, but now denizen
OTthe fair town of Columbia. The climate
of old NauTy appears to agree with MIN,
FOL he looks as bright as May morning
and as vigorous as a three year Old.-Fay-

Dr. w. c. Sheppard started for Memphis
last Monday to attend the Dental Associa-
ton of the South, which has been in ses-
sion there this week. DIR. Sheppard takes
great interest in his profession, and "keeps
up" with all of its improvements. His den
cal rooms viii compare favOrably, we dare
say, with those of any young dentist In the
State.

oTcd us with a call last Monday,
When Rev. J. {. Mitchell, DID, took a

MIR. r. i. Webster of Cincinnati, and re-

ofNm. IL. Webster, noble and handsome
son of James II. Webster, who was killed in
the battle of Chickamauga.
We had the pleasure, a few days since, of
a visit from Mr.. John Renfro, of California.

terestiug facts in relation to that wonderful
country He said there was a wheat-feld in

Ogl bushels. This rather astonished our ex- |
