They have not yet begun to organize their
forces nor to arrange their plans, and are
only talking about what they are going to
do when the time arrives for action. We
expect to see lively, vigorous and earnest
campaign on both sides when it does open,
and If the license men hold their own it
will not be without most strenuous effort.
Mrs. Francis Daniels died at the resi-
| dence of her son, Capt. John w. Daniels,
in this place, ON last Saturday morning at
the advanced age of 73 years, after an illness
of two months. She was native of Pick
ems county, but for the greater part of her
life lived in this county. She raised a large
family of children, the survivors of whom,
with many other relatives and friends,
mourn her death. She was consistent
member of the Methodist church, and her
remains were buried in the Methodist grave
yard in Pendleton Sunday about noon.
1t is remarkable what disposition some
boys have to sit on the same side of church
with good-looking young ladies. Leta bevy
of young ladies have particular seat in any
church and the pews Immediately about
them will always be filled with young gal
lants, who, at the close of service, hurry
out and form line in front of the church
door to see the girls pass. The same boys,
too, will go to evening entertainments end
stand around the door in the cold till twelve
or one o'clock, venturing in occasionally
only to warm, and next day boast about
what good time they had at the party.
The rain on last Friday night was one OF
the heaviest that has fallen in this section
within the recollection of the Oldest inhabi-
,tants. It fell in torrents for several hours
amid the roaring of thunder and flashing of
lightning, and for the time it seemed as
though the earth was being visited by an
other flood. The streams were swollen till
their banks were overilowed, few bridges
were swept away and others badly damaged,
ploughed bottom lands were washed away
to the depth they were broken, while the
hill sides were washed into ugly gullies.
The accounts of damage come from every
quarter.
Messrs. George E. and Frank Walker,
two deaf mutes, of Athens, Tennessee, are
canvassing our town for some excellent
books-"R Path of Life" 'Story Of
the Bible" and Drifting GALL of which are
elegantly gotten IN in different styles of
binding. The books are all highly spoken
of and recommended for their worth, and
we hope the unfortunate young men, who
are educated, intelligent and of good char
acter, will meet with success in our midst.
When they have canvassed the town they
will go into THE country, and will likely
spend several weeks in the county altogeth-
er. They have a double recommendation
to the consideration Of our people-them-
selves and their books. Encourage them.
Rev. William Carlisle died at the residence
of his son-in-l law, Rev. II. B. FAINT, in this
place at 12.20 a. nj. on the 23rd instant, after
an illness of few weeks from jaundice
Mr.. Carlisle was born in Abbeville county
1797, and grew up to manhood there. He
was for the past fifty or sixty years useful
and respected minister of the Presbyterian
Church, and continued active in the work
of the ministry until the failing strength
consequent upon bis advanced age enfee-
bled him to, such an extent as to detain him
within his home. His remains will be
placed to rest in Roberts churchyard this
morning at II m. Mr.. Carlisle leaves the
recollection of many good works behind
him which will cause his memory long to
be cherished by those who knew and loved
