z Mr.. ohm r.. Jolly has left at our Office
relic of the late war which he prizes very
highly. It is a thirty-two pound cannon
ball, and was the first ball fred from Fort
Sumter by Mai. Anderson, of the Union
Army, at Fort MUultrie, which was in
charge of the Confederates. The ball was
picked up by. Mr.. Manson S. Jolly, who
was on duty at Fort Mou ltrie at the time.
He sent the ball home, and it has been
kept in the family since that time.
a Our clever friend, Ed. Whitten. Of Pen.
dIeton Township, accompanied by bis
friend, Mr.. w. Il. ,Evatt, paid his respects
and his subscrip ption to the IETELLIaEN-
CIR last Tuesday, and at the same time
gave us q sample OF his apple crop, which
was equal to any apple grown Oh Northern
soil. Anderson County may haye q few
better-looking men than friend Ed, but
we venture she hasn't one that is more
upright, honest or possessed ofa bigger
heart. 3.
