America Mosely, who has just returned
from the Female High School of Clinton,
where ior two terms past her high scholar.
ship has made her one of the very FORE
most pupils Of that popular institution.
From BennettsvIlle.
| Col. o. F. Cheatham, the only one Of
our Bennettsville delegates we have seen
since Their return, Is very much deliehted
with The character and results Of the late
great Agricultural gathering. And as re-
CARDS the country he has lately visited
Marlboro and Chesterfield Counties-the
princely and peerless Pee Dee realm-he
is boundlessly. almost tumultuously en-.
thuslastic. This country, be says einphati-
cally, is thegarden apot Of South Carolina.
Its people, and their hospitality and style
of living; its soil and mode of farming;
it's progress, enlightenment and prosperity;
all claim his highest admiration.
Remarkable improvement.
Somewhat more than year ago one Of
the brightest, best and handsomest boys
in our whole county was stricken with
paralysis-of the right side. We allude
to Mr.. Rufus Dean, widely and warmly
beloved. Two months ago this young
gentleman went TO Atlanta for special and
scientific medical treatment; and now he
returns home so materially improved as
: 10 warrant the expectation that ne vii
coon be restored to vigorous health. We
beg him and his friends to consider the
advisability Of hisgoing to the HotSprlng'
Of Arkansas. These wonderful healing
waters are what he needs.
