Williamson.

Seeing that you haveno correspondent at
this place, and thinking that you would
like to get occasionally the local intelli-
gence from this interesting quarter, I have
concluded to furnish you few dots semi
occasionally if acceptable" DIR. John
Crynes is just recovering from well nigh
fatal attack of illness. His friends are re-
joiced to see him convalescing......Dr.J John
Wilson, our ex-Representative, is danger
ously i'll with chronic pneumonia. His
many friends over the County will read this
announcement with sadness not unmixed
with hope......This being the month for
College Commencements, our young people
are having round of pleasures in attend
ing them. Williamson may justly be
proud of the high honors her sons have
taken at these commencements for the last
few years, particularly those of Wofford
and Furman. A few years ago Wofford
graduated G. E. Prince and John G. Clink-
scales, and Furman sent out NJ. i. Pickle,
all from Williamson, and highly honored
for thorough scholarship and high moral
characters. These gentlemen are allin bus
iness in Williamson at present, but think
each of them is looking far above his pres
ent avocation. Last year John NJ. Lander
graduated at Wofford with the highest
honors conferred by that institution. This
year the same institution sends out W. T.
Lander wearing gracefully the same high
honors. Par noLiie .fratrum! These ARE
both sons of DR.. S. Lander, President Of
Williamson Female College. Worthy sons
of a noble sire. Furman also sends w. w.
Brown, son OF DR.. B. F. Brown, of this
place. He is not whit behind the others
in moral character and literary attainments.
Of these John NJ. Lander feels it to be his
duty to preach the gospel of peace, and, be-
ing deeply imbued with missionary spirit
and zeal, will soon 60 to bear the glad
tidings of salvation to the spiritually desti-
tute millions of heather China. This does
not surprise those who have known him
from child. w. T. Lander and w. w.
Brown have given no indication as yet
what ayocation they will clooso.,r.Dr.
Lander's College closed this week until Au-
gust.....I will give in my next all that I
may know oftll great enterprises now in
contemplation, and that if consummated
will make Williamson the banner section
of the banner County of South Carolina
......Rev. Mr.. Beatty preached a most excel
lent sermon in the Methodist Church at
this place, on the purposes Of the manifes-
tation of Christ--tlle destruction of sin
Sunday. PIEDMoNF.
Crops arc very much in need of rain
about Williamson. Gardens are parching
rapidly The new bridge across the creek
is complete, and the Council have the
thanks of the citizens for their earnest efforts
to have real bridge put up.".. Uncle Isaac
Clement, the oldest man in Williamson,
and an invalid for twenty years, is gradual
ly weakening, and is expected to die very
soon. Capt. WIN. Clement, his brother,
has nursed him very tenderly..,.T Three
young ladies, Misses I.andrum, Haynes
and Cannon graduated in the WILLIAMSON
Female College on Thursday last. The in
stitution and the citizens are proud of such
