Picnic Mt Cooley.s Bridge.

~ a.. EDITOR: 4 pretty section OF country
is that near Cooley's Bridge on Saluta River,
with its diversified surface of hill and dale.
whilst here and there can be seen pictur-
esquc farm houses and vine wrcathed cot
tagcs. It was here that the young people
OF Bolton decided to have q picnic on the
18th inst. Accepting the invitation of Mr..
L., the chairman of arrangements, we deci-
ded to go, and were up bright and early
Saturday morning preparing to be off but
the lowering clouds DER head and muttcr-
ing thunder in the distance warned us of
approaching rain. Consequently we were
forced to wait some time before starting.
Our party got off from Bolton about eleven
o'clock, and an hours drive found us at the
appointed place. Owing to the recent heavy
rains the grounds upon the river banks were
wet and muddy-too much so for ladies. In
this extremity our noble friend, +. II. Poorc,
Esq, and his accomplished lady, came to the
rescue, and with that kindness and magma
nimity SO characteristic of them, threw open
the doors of their large and commodious
dwelling and badc us welcome. When we
arrived n goodly number had gathered from
the surrounding country, whilst William
ston sent several of her fair daughters and
handsome sons to represent her. We stood
exchanging greetings with our friends and
watching the arrival of others when the
music of II violin, accompanied by the deep,
rich tones of Mr.. T. G. Ps voice calling
out partners for quadrille, told us quite
plainly that dancing was i'm progress. An
hour was spent in this way when the par
ties betook themselves to their baskets to
satisfy the cravings of the "inner man."
We accepted the invitation of our good
friend, DIR. b., and from the amount and
variety of good things which he and his
patty had prepared we thought that they
must have intended to feed all who were
present. We will bet our last nickel that
the ladies who prepared that dinner are the
best cooks in America. After dinner the
larger portion of the crowd returned to the
sitting room and parlor of Mr., r, and Ell
gagged in the harmless and innocent amuse-
ment of dancing. Occasionally could be
seen n couple promcnading through the
grove or seated in buggy, converting in
language suitable only for two to hear The
amusements were kept up until the declin-
ing sun warned the pleasure-seekers it was
time to return home. 1t was a very pleas
ant occasion, and all will remember CRATE
fully the kindness of Mr.. p. and wife, We
think every, one enjoyed themselves, and
we are satisfied that all will agree with us
in saying T. G. 7. had-the ''best time" of
any one. NJ

Ancient paners.

Col w. s. Pickehs, n prominent gentle
nian OF the Brushy Greek portion Of Andcr-
son County, exhibited to us this week an
old land grant to Robert Pckens, his grand
father. made on the 4th day Of May, a ID.
1874, to $40 acres Of land, which has been
in the possession of his family continuously
since that time, and upon which the Colo
mel now resides. The grant was upon an
ordinary article of paper, tied together with
red tape, and had the great seal OF the State
OF South Carolina moulded in sealing wax
and covered over neatly with a white paper,
bearing upon its sides the impression of the
court of arms and the notices of the State.
The Robert i'ickrns to whom this grant
was made was an officer i'm the revolution
ary war, and frequently lazarded much at
the hands of the tories in attempting to visit
his home, which was upon this tract of
land, and was the highest settlement made
in South Carolina at that period On one
OCCASION his house was surrounded by the
tories, as they came in hot pursuit of him,
anu he only escaped by the presence Of
mind and fOrttude of his wife, who held
the door until he could climb up thc CHM
ney, and then when they entered to search
for him lie jumped from the caves of his
house and made his escape. AT another
time he was so closely pursued that he was
compelled 10 hide in the bark which peeled
from large pine and his pursucrs passed
Immediately over him. After the war he
lived upon this place, and III the eighty
thi year of his age died and was buried in
the family grave yard situated thereon, and
i'll which rest the mortal remains of three

and great-grand-fathcr Of the present Col.
