We learn that Division of Sons of Tenn
perance was instituted at Hopewell Church
on last Saturday, numbering thirty mem
bers.
We are requested to state that Pic Mic
will be given at Centreville Mills on Satur-
day, 7th of August The object is social
enjoyment, and all parties are invited to
contribute towards the pleasure by bringing
well-hlled baskets.
Hon. E. N. Rucker was the orator of the
occasion, at the recent commencement OF
the Andrew Male High School in Elberton,
Ga. His theme, Education" was treated
in that able and graceful manner which
lends such o charm to all of his efforts.
The Brushy Creek Grange intend having
a harvest feast on Saturday, the 7th of
August next. This Grange leads off in
giving the first of these delightful occasions
of recreation to the agricultural community
of the season. 1t will not be long, however,
before others will follow.
One of onr citizens, who never visited
Walhalla before last week, says that he is
not surprised at the lightning-rod man mis-
taking the Court House for private dwell
ing-it is so retired and modest in appearance.
He now thinks e. W. B. was duly sober,
but had misgivings on that point hereto
fore.
A quiet wedding took place in Anderson
last Sunday morning, which is invested
with genuine romance. The parties were
lovers in their youthful days, and both have
been married-both have children nearly
grown-and when the widower found out
that his former love wss widow-he came,
he saw, and was conquered.
We neglected last week to mention the
return of our young friend, Mr.. A. Summer
Todd, the assistant editor of the Dalton
(Ga.) Citizen, who is spending months
vacation at the old homestead. His general
appearance would indicate kindly care on
the part of the Georgians, with whom he is
favorably impressed as generous, high
toned people

We are panied to record the death of Mr..
Hugh McGukin, which occurred at his resi-
dence near Hollands Store on Friday last,

was native of Ireland, and emigratcd to
this State in 1925. He lived in Abbeville
County until 1851, when he removed to this
County. The deceased was a member of
the Presbyterian Church for the last twenty
wears, and was highly esteemed as an up
right citizen.
The Baptist Church was the only house
of worship which was open in our town on
last Sabbath morning, and the service was
we'll attended by the several denominations.
Rev. Mr.. Frierson was absent in Walhalla
where he assisted in a protracted meeting
for several days. Rev. Mr.. Mood has not
