saluda Old Town Dots.-By the Grape
vine Telegraph.
This classic city on the banks of the
Blue" Saluda was visited last week by
a company of foreign capitalists, who
were prospecting for real estate invest
ments. Among the visitors were three
distinguished Judges, whose grestlearn-
ing have made them famous wherever
known; two celebrated lawyers, whose
legal abilities, extensive information
and brilliant eloquence have attracted
attention at many a Bar; we'll
known and popular executive officer,
and several prominent planters and
physicians. The visit was unannounced /;
but on their arrival they were immedl-
ately taken in hand by the hospitable
citizens of the city, and were soon made
to feel at home. Horses and carriages
were placed at their disposal, and the
chief points of interest were visited du-
ring the day. Hon. A. K. Tribble, the
efficient Mayor, extended to the distin-
guished visitors a hearty and cordial
welcome, and presented them with
1.-The freedom of the city"-in black
bottle. Maj. Jno. G. Taylor, the able
representative of the Clyde Syndicate
at this place, exerted, himself success
fully to entertain and please the guests
of the City, and pointed out the great
advantages of Saluda Old Town as a
rail road centre. The visitors left in a
special car, expressing themselves much
pleased with what they had seen.
Saluda Old Town has been found too
long name for this fast City; for brew
ity's sake it is abbreviated into S. O. T.
In the language of Truthful James,
s.l shall not deny,
In regard to the same,
What that name might imply"
But your readers should not attach any
significance to this authorizations; for it
is we'll Known that Saluda Old Town

iority, the 24th day of December, 1880
along with many other places in the
State. No liquor is sold in the place
except at the drug stores, and then only
