i" Remarkable aud Original"
Talking with Gov. McLane, OF Mary
lard, the other night, he spoke Of Hon.
George D. Tillman as one Of the most re-
markable and original of men. Az the
Governor has been all over the world, and
is acquainted with many Of the most noted
of mortals, this struck me as memorable
com pliment to the Demosthenes of Edge
field Washington Correspondence Of Au
1usta Chronicle.
Slowly Improving.
Last week We chronicled the serious &C.
cident which had befallen our honored
friend, ex County Commissioner James
H. Watson, of the Mine Greek country,

improvingAeven though slowly. 1t seems
that be will be confined to bed, unable to
WALK, for two or three months. No man
in our County is more generally or de-
servedly beloved than James H. Watson,
and he may rest assured thai troops Of
friends are thinking of him with deep
sympathy in his present suffering and
irksome confinement.

The reception given on Friday evening
last, by Mr.. and Mrs John l. Addison, .in

the Ror w P. Wideman and lady, Miss
Carrie Bradley, Miss Neil, Mr.. John
Wideman. Mr.. VIM. Bradley, Mr., Joe
Addison, and Messrs. i>ennedv and Da-
Wis. The occasion !Sas an extremely
happy one in all its bearings-a social
success of which Edgefeld may we'll be
proud.
Bethlehem and Cleveland.
Everybody is scrambling around to get
Christmas money-and with little or 70
success. Most of Us are evidently doomed
to have "small and inconsequential"
holiday. And lucky will the little chill
dren be if they get good beit of back
bone pie and pocket full of pop corn.
But let us not weep and kick over ad-
verse fate. Let US take the beautiful sto-
ry Of Bethlehem-wlth thought now
and then of Cleveland and the November
retrrns--and still be happy. By these
We shall know that sinners and the Solid
South aee not without hope.
Prof. Tatum.
In another column will be found card
from Prof. Tatum, offering his services to
the people of our community. Prof. Ia
tum, who comes among us with excellent
testimonials, is teacher of the elements
of thorough-bass, or in palmer English,
the very ground work Of musical science
and composition. What be teaches is ab.
solutely necessary to musical intelligence
and efficiency. Without it, all playing,
singing and composition is in great de-
gree e. Poll Parrot business. Prof. Tatum's
system is an admirable one, and Of his emf
nept success in imparting this sort of
knowledge there is no doubt. We be-
speak for Prof. Tatum goodly class in
