a severe hail storm visited the Toney
Creek section of this County and the AL

lhu. day The storm did not last more
| than three minutes, and WAS not wide in
its track. The crop of man by the name
| OF Vaughn was completely destroyed, and
much damage Was done to the crops on
other places. A gentleman, OH whose
plantation the storm was quite severe, sent
us some cotton stalks from which every

A telegram was received in this city on
Wednesday morning announcing the
death of Mrs. McGruder, the beloved wife
of Mr.. w. II. i. McGrllder, of this city,
which occurred in Atlanta, Ga, where she
had been under medical treatment for two
or three months past, on last Tuesday,
after brief illness from typhoid fever.
Mrs. McGruder was Il member of the Meth
odist Church in this city, and most csti.
mable lady. Her remains were brought to
this city Oh Wednesday. Her death will
be sad news to n large circle of relatives
and friends in This County.
On last Friday and Saturday evenings
Rev. w. II. Milburn, d. d., "Thc Blind
Man Eloquent was greeted by large and
appreciative audiences. Those who were
not present missed literary treat Each
of his lectures consumed about two hours
though to the listener the time seemed only
few minutes. The Doctors fame as az
orator, we think, is not exaggerated His
gestures are graceful and natural, and his
enunciation clear and distinct. DR.. Mil
burn also preached in the Methodist Church
on Sunday morning and in the Presbytc-
rian Church o. Sunday evening, large au-
dienccs greeting him on both occasions.
Our people would appreciate another visit
from DR.. Milburn, and we trust he may
be able to visit our city again.
A letter has been received by the base
ball club Of Greenwood from the club at
Graniteville, proposing to come up and
pitch their tent at Greenwood, some time in
July, to remain several weeks. At this
point it proposes to receive challenges from
any club which may feel disposed to cross
lances with it. at meeting of Green
wood club, held last Monday, it was re-
solved to extend cordial invitation to the
club at Graniteville to come up any time in
July and pitch their tents, and also to in
vite any and all other clubs that may desire
to play with the Graniteville club, to come ;
all of whom will be entertained rs the
guests of the Greenwood club. Our ex-
changes will confer favor by copying this
notice and invitation Greenwood Argus
we trust our Williamson friends, the
Lone Star Club, will make note Of the
above, and if possible, go down and show
the Granitevlle Club what club from the
mountains can do for them.
The Skating Carnival ut VanWyck's hall
oil last Thursday evening attracted large
crowd. Indeed, the crowd was so large
that the skaters hardly had room to go
through the programme. A number of
skaters from Pendeton, by invitation, were
present. Some of the costumes of the
skaters were quite unique and fancy. The
entertainment opened with the tournament
contest. IT, first prize was awarded to
Miss Heller Keys, and the second prize to
Miss Kitty White, they having secured the
greatest number of rings. The jumping
contest, which was probably the most diff
cult feat of the entertainment, was next
Oh the programme. Mr.. Ham. Osborne
was the successful competitor. Next
in order came the race, i'll which q number
of competitors entered. The prize was
awarded to Mr.. George Evans. The last
and most amusing feature of the pro-
grammc was the contest between the most
awkward skaters. There were also quite
number of competitors in this contest, and
from our own observation it was right diff.
cult to decide who was entitled to the prize.
The committee, however, gave the first
prize to Mr.. w. d. Maroncy, and the sec
ond prize to Mr.. Foster Fant. After the pro.
sramme had been rendered the audience
decreased. The fancy skating then COM
menced in earnest, and was INDUCED In
