fresh stock of bright spirits and were in
the proper mood to enjoy, with the good
people of Hopewell, the most interesting
and profitable sessions of the Sunday
School Institute since its organization.
President Hiott was at his post and pro-
ceeded to work with as much readiness as
though it were his daily occupation. He
had exercised good taste and judgment in
the selections for discussion, and the ap.
pointed speakers, by their ready responses
when called, bore evidence of the interest
manifested. Nearly all the subjects were
discussed. The large attendance and the
bountiful preparations for the comfort
and enjoyment of the delegates proved
that the interest was not confined to the
speakers nor to the members only of the
Institute. The very best order was pre-.
served, notwithstanding everybody tried
to crowd into the house to gather share
of the benefits to be derived from The In
stitute papers read, and the pithy speeches
and pertinent remarks. DR.. Griffith and
DR.. Bailey were present and took part in
the discussions; besides both preached
excellent sermons. Rev. A. A. Marshall,
of Anderson, and the Rev. E. G. Rice, OF
Ninety.Six attended, and both preached
greatly appreciated sermons-the latter
on w ednesday night, the former Thurs.
day. The Grady pic mic drew away
some and kept off many on Wednesday /;
the good fortune of the Bolton delegates
and of ours, too, to be assigned to Mr..
Thomas Bolt, son of Anderson's worthy
Sheriff. It had not been our pleasure to
know him before, but the warm welcome
lat his home made the entire delegation
T feel like they were enjoying hospitalities
prepared Cor friends of long standing and
much respected, and to whom the best Of
everything was due and could not be
supplied too lavisnly. Surely Mr.. Bolt
had made extra efforts for this occasion in
more than one way. When he planted,
and all the time of cultivating his crops
of corn, cotton, garden vegetables and
Watermelons, and caring for his fruit crop
he must have been striving to outdo his
neighbors. In most of these he excels,
too. His cotton is the best we saw away
from Belton. We were sorry when the
time Of taking leave came, and shall some
time take advantage Of The very cordial
invitation to repeat our visit to Hopewell.
The programme was finished in two days,
and the Institute adjourned to meet at
Honea Path. All the delegates were
earnestly requested to remain during the
following day as Rev. a. a. Marshall
would be there and, after he should de-
liver his rich tribute, it was desired to
spend the remainder Of the day in pleas.
ant informal talks. After lively inter
change OF good -humored wit and anus
ing excuses, 1t was decided to allow the
that Hopewsll had done well Its part;
and we came away wishing that some Of
her people would come down to be en-.
rolled on E,elton's list of useful and
plucky citizens.
= Rain, rain, rain Bolton gets shower
every day. Some farmers report consider
able damage, by overflows, to corn on
bottom lands. Mr.. B. B. Breazeale and
Mr.. L. E. Campbell were in town Monday
and etate that damages on Broadway
Creek are moderate on their respective
plantations, but heavier on others. It Is
lot easy to estimate such while the corn
lis young and growing. Where it has not
been pulled ont Of these We hope nobody
will suffer severely, as the continuous
nhowers will wash off the coat of mud and
may restore the plant TO healthy condi-
tion. These gentlemen say that crops
were never finer in the neighborhood. We
regret that lack Of time prevented farther
conversation with them. Both told some
entertaining stories of the earlier days OF
Belton. We shall seek an opportunity to
hear farther facts. I
Saturday night hrs. Judge Jeffrey, OF
Culpepper, Va, lost by an attack of cholera
infantum little: Lucy, as;e nine months, the
idol Of the family and the pet of the many
friends Of Mrs. jeffrey and of her step
father, Mr.. B. B. Breazeale, and of Mr..
o. x. Breazeale, at whose residence she
was visiting. The sudden death of the lit
tie one, almost without warning, abruptly
terminated q visit that was especially de-
this devoted but now bereft mother. Those
who saw her Monday starting to carry
home to her husband their lifeless dari ng
deeply sympathized with her, but were pc.
culiarly Impressed with what nobleness of
christian fortitude she bore up under the
burden Of grief and how bravely she
fought against yielding 10 the promptings
of her almost broken heart, and refrained
from seeking relief by open demonstra-
tons of her grief, in order to spare her
many friends who had attended her from
NEr. O. x. Breazea1es to the depot here.
Il is no wonder that she was captured in
Virginia. Though schoolgirl, yet Mr..
Jeffrey (now Judge Jeffrey was fortunate
enough to detect her noble traits of charac-
ter, and soon after her graduation in col
lege there, he came to claim the luckily
won prize, and thereby added another ply
to the strong cord that the trials of the civil
war created and caused to bind in everlast.

grnians and Carolinians.
Mr.. C.B. Lewis has apprehended aud sent
to Jail three colored men, charged with
burning his barn some weeks ago.
Mr. A. @. Latimer returned from the
State Alliance meeting in Columbia last
Friday and reports the Alliance prospects
bright.
On Tuesday Mr.. J. w. Poore is expected
home from Lancaster. a telegram to Mr..
E. H. Poore states that Mrs. Williams is q
little better. We hope to hear still more
cheering news when he arrives.
Mrs. Gussie VanGilder have been visiting
Rev. E. G. Rice, well known by almost
the entire County, closed his fourishing
school near Ninety Six and passed through
Bolton last Tuesday on his way to the Sum
day School Institute. dis Churches there
having given him short vacation, he will
spend The time among relatives, friends and
members of Churches Of which he was
once pastor. Mr.. Rice is a tireless worker,
and by the mplimentary reports from the
districts where he has been laboring for
several years, we judge that many youths
will rejoice, in days to come, over the sue
cesses to which they were directed by his
teaching. The banner County of the State
will do well to add to its teachers roll such
teachers, the report Of whose success goes
out as result of the actual work done in
the school room.
We were glad to catch q glimpse of 8. s.
Crittenien, Jr., of GreenyilIe, and of Capt.
w. G. MCGOWAN, Of Abbeville. A word
now and then from them keeps the "blues"
at q respectable distance.
These rainy days afford our farmers much
leisure and their faces are seen In town
more frequently; but they have been so ac-
customed to hurry back 10 their attractive
crops that we can scarcely get word with
them. See here, Messrs. j. T. Green, Doc.
Green; VIM. Geer, Reed Campbell. +. Clink-
scales, Ransom Harris and Others, why
don't you stop and give the news? WesaW
you running off. You will have to talk
one of these days when you chance to be
caught alone.
Mr.. g. P. Brownlee, now of Dalton, Ca,
is here for week or two. His friends were
glad to see him. He reports crops good
from Dalton to Bolton. Says his move
will make him gamer the first year.
