Our quondam townsman, the artistic !
Judd, was seen to advantage in the Floral .

his best foot foremost, and the display OF |
each was fine. We may say nothing OF the |
relative skill OF the two artists, both under |

must confess, that some allowanc must be |

Mr.. LuciuS FrierSOn, the Cashier, Is not on

President Is known to all of our readers as

Bank Director for nearly or quite twenty
yearS-Seven years in the Union Bank be

Bank and five or six years in the First Ma

to know how to act as Bank President.

If there is anything we really admire
it is an exhibition of pure and artlesS alice
ton between two men. The old, OLD tale
of Damon and Pythias is mOuldy with the
breath of centuries, but we love to see the
characters reproduced in modern life. That |
is why our hearts sottens over the gentle
love passages which are so constantly eX-
changed between our cOnfreTes, Prof Jon $,
of the Pulaski Citizen, and Alfred Samarl-
tan HUrsley, OF the Columbia Herald and
Mail. 4 heSe gentlemen are the sole prOprl-
Society, which supplies the aspiring souls OF
its two members with heavenly food. one
week Prof. Jones eXclaims generously, "Oh,
my HOrsley!" and the next, HOrSley. burn
ing with reel procal fire, sings out, "Oh, my
JONES'" If so sweet a thing as this contin-
ues for twelve months longer, cooler and
more calculating minds may count on fifty
two "Qh, my HOrSeys," and an equal num-
Der of ''Dh, my JOneSeS,, being melted out
to the readers of both papers, BE this as IT
may, the love of these two men, so fondly,
SO artleSSly and so frequently expressed,
will make the world all the brighter TO
to-HOrSley and JOneS.-FaYetteviIle EX-
press John Beaten Smith wrote the
above, which is why we remark that there
are more Damons and Pythiases than those
mon called on Fythias, better known as
ThOs. F.. Haynes, of the Williamson jour
nal, and requested said PythiaS. better
known as Thomas, t6lend him few five
dollar bills, wherowithal to continue his
peregrinatiOns. True TO his nature Pyhias,
better known as Haynes, let Damon have
the vile rag money, Damon promising 10
pay promptly after his return TO Pulaski.
The years cFept slowly on, Lorena, but not
so slowly as did DamOn's money towards
Franklin. PythiaS, otherwise Haynes,
had no i'd a of dying for Damon, and pub
lished in his paper, the Williamson Jour
nal, that if n certain tritling dead-bCat
''neighpnring editor" didn't return that
borrowed money, gOtten under false PIE
lenses he would publish hts namR. SeEer-
al neighboring editors got wrathy at This
vague announcement, and demanded il
seIf-defense, that Pythias Haynes give
names. Haynes Pythias, thus surrounded,
gave the dead-bea name-but we won't,
because he is a clever fellow, with all his
faults.

and its future is bright and promising.
