Mr.. +. A. Hall, of Hall township in
this County, sent us three Carp to test
their edible quality few days ago, the
largest being ten and one-half inches
long. It is delicious fish, very nearly
or quite equaling the shad In its table
qualities. The idea that it is an inferior
fish is a great mistake, in our opinion.
Mr., Hall has three large ponds, and is
raising the Carp extensively and success
fully.
Mrs. Easter Massey, widow of the late
Laban Massey, of this County, died at

an invalid. She was born and raised in
this County, and had been member OF
the Baptist Church for over fifty years.
Her remains were inferred at Barker's
Creek Church last Sunday.

Lewis R. Redmond, the famous moon
sinner, received his pardon and was dis
charged from the Penitentiary last satur-
day morning. He,was the recipient of a
check for $50, contribution of $40 in
silver, trunk of clothing and other:gifts,
from the ladies of Columbia. He passed
up the Road to Greenville on his way
home in Pickens last Saturday. At Bel
ton number of the Sunday School e1-
cursionists, of this city, who were return
ing from Williamson, saw him and shook
his hand.
Z Our young friend John S. Mattison, be-
sides being clever barrister, is also o
good farmer. he returned from his farm
Monday afternoon and reports fine
stand of cotton, eome Of the stalks hav-
ing as many as six leaves. His wheat is
also fine, some of the heads containing
over one hundred grains. he says he be-.
lieves he will! make enough flour to feed
a better half for year or two, and stands
ready to receive proposals from any OF
the fair sex.
Adiutant and Inspector General Mani
pault made his annual inspection Of the
Palmetto Ridcmen on Wednesday even
ing of last week. He was met at the
depot by the Ri1etnen, the Cadets of the
Military school and the Young America
Cornet Band, and escorted to the Court
House square, where the inspection took
place. He complimented the Company
very highly, for their proficiency and
general appearance, and said they were
the equal of any in the State. Gen. Man
igault also complimented the Cadets and
the Band.
The Baptist Sunday School picnic e1-
cursion last Saturday is pronounced by
all who attended as having been very
pleasant occasion. About two hundred
people, the majority Of whom were chill
dren, composed the excursion party. The
day was fair, and everything passed off
without single accident. The Young
America Cornet Band accompanied the
party, and disco1rsed excellent music
throughout the day. The committee GER
tainly deserve the thanks OF all the par
Elephants for the admirable manner i'll
which the excursion was managed.
A portion of the floor of Messrs. Moss
g. Browns store room fell in last Satur-
day night or Sunday morning. The firm
had, few days previous, received car
load Of corn, which, together with lot OF
-four and other groceries, was piled upon
it. All this and two fine show cases filled
with goods went down into the cellar be-
meath. seventy-fiye dollars, it is thought,
will cover the damage sustained. 1t is
fortunate the floor did not give way early
in the evening, when, at one time, the
store was crowded with negroes getting
their usual Saturday night rations.
Miss Clayton Wood, Of Kentucky, gave
an elocution entertainment in Masonic
Hall last Friday night. Owing to pri-
vate musical entertainment in the city
the same night and the services in the
Methodist Church, she did not have many
hearers. Her varied programme was
rendered in an easy, clever manner, and
showed her to be mistress in the art of
elocution. The rendition of "The Bells"
was as near perfect as the human voice
could make 1t. Miss Wood is young, and
quite attractive in appearance. She will
doubtless at no distant day rank with the
very best elocutionists. Those who at
tended seemed highly pleased with the
entertain nent, as was evidenced from the
frequent plaudits given the young lady.
Miss Wood deserves liberal patronage.
