The pic mic of the German Club of An
derson on last Thursday was very sue
::cessful and pleasant affair. The selection
{of Andersonville, with its beautiful rivers
ing was altogether fortunate, as the sports
Of fishing and rowing afforded an agreeable
interlude to the dancing and conversation
to which the day might otherwise have
been limited A large number of ladies
and gentlemen attended and spent most
charming day.
Something little out of the usual order
occurred at Anderson few days ago. A
gentleman being in need Of corn hitched
up his horse and went out into the country
and secured supply. he says the farmer
has. enough left for his own use, has money
to loan, good stock, and lives well. Every
farmer who makes enough corn for his own
use is prosperous, but you can't convince
the majority that it will pay to raise their

a great flood should cut US off from the
West what would the people of Anderson
do? We doubt if there is more than six
weeks or two months supply of provisions
in the County. This state of affairs is de-
plorable. Think of it! y.

The Greenyille .News of last Saturday
says that DR.. ]. Fl. Maxwell, Of that city,
formerly of Pendleton, is the possessor of
fine rifle that bears the inscription ~. e.
Colhoun, Pendleton, So. Ca, 1885," 1t was
purchased BY him at the sale of the estate
of one of the Calhouns in Abbeville county
some years ago, and is known to have been
the property of members of the Calhoun
family for many years-exactly how long is
not known. Ewing Calhoun, the last
owner of the rifle, was cousin to John G.
Calhoun. It is believed by some that the
names ".Colhoun" and Calhoun" were
/. originally the someone branch of the
family calling themselves by the former
and the other by the latter. The rifle is q
long old fashioned, sprinS.tri,ger, large bore
deer gun, finely made, heavily mounted
with solid silver. and in good condition. It
was restocked from native black walnut
that grew on John c. Calhoun's plantation
in Old Pendleton. 1t is a valuable relic
that has passed through the days of vol
umes Of history.
