pleasant; and those who assembled

the rendition of select pieces very fine.

ed home rejoicing.
This town and community have
sustained very heavy loss in the re-
moYal of our esteemed friend and tel-
low townsman, r. o. Pur6y, Esq.
Coming here few years ago as al
stranger, he steadily won his way IN
to the hearts of the people by his high
and gentlemanly course, and at the
same time pushed a professional ca
reer almost at once into success. wei
heartily congratulate our sister town
of Sumter on so valuable an acquisl-
ton, where he goes as the law part
ner of Col. Jos. II. Earle.

Misses Ingram and Ewell. ;,
Those who have the educational
advancement of their children at heart
can find 70 school under better man
asement than the one above mention
ed, and the skill with which they have
discharged their high duties IN the
past, affords pledge that will meet
every demand for the future.

On last Thursday evening about
dusk dark, near Tindals mill pond,
Mr.. c. NJ. Thames, returning from
fishing, supposed he had touched a
snake, when at that instant the mon
ster OF rattle-snake jumped over his
shoulder. Stopping in the edge OF
some bushes, Mr.. Thames shot at it
with small shot, and was attacked the
second time. Fearing that the con-

next time load of buck shot was
poured into him and ended his career
The rattles were cut in pieces, and
two fragments found, one containing
sixteen and the other eight rattles.
