BartOn's Greek Dots.

BARroN's CREEK, S. G., July 1st, 1889.
DEAR COURIER: AS you remember our
last was just on the eve of our picnic,
which, from all appearances, was quite
success. We did not have Judge Lewis
there, but we had music without pinch
ing the babies. Toccoa, Cleveland,
Westminster and Walhalla were well re-
presented, Walhalla having sent the She
riff out to be with us; but the parties
he was looking for were not present, but
of course we gave him a hearty welcome
We arc enjoying fine growing weather
just now, having n little rain every day,
but no hard damaging rains.
Mr.. w. b. Weaver seems still to be in
the lead OH cotton, having plucked from
his field cotton bloom on the 2lst of
June. We do not like to concede the
idea that he is better farmer than the
balance of us, but just think he has
some special method of causing il to
grow off faster than we understand.
We have some good farmers and good
citizens in this community. One of our
most extensive farmers and heaviest tax
payers told lis the other day he had not
made store account since the war.
Reader, can you beat that2
But there is one thing wc do ask our
County Commissioners for, and that is
better roads. There is one section OH
the Walhalla and Toccoa road, by way Of
the Robins farm, which has not been
worked this year, and we notice on the
same road where it has been worked, a
return OF the same old style OF making
what is called water breakers, which we
think would more properly be termed
wagon or buggy breakers.
Health is generally good in this sec
ton. Nevertheless, death has laid its
claims in our midst without respect to
age or color. About week ago very
aged colored man known rs Old Uncle
Joshua, living Oh the DR.. Pickens' farm,
passed peacefully from this life into eter-
nifty.
We deeply regret to announce the Sc
we're Affections and even death realized
by our neighbor, Mr.. j. II. Spencer. lie
had a wife and two children. The elder
had severe spell of two weeks, from
which it was thought it would not re-
cover; but upon its recovery their babe,
of about eleven months, after suffering
about three weeks from fever and nux,
died on Saturday, the 29th instant. The
family and relatives have our deepest
sympathies.
We were shocked to hear of the death
of Miss Mamie Mathcwson. Our SYM
pathies 60 out especially to tho bcreavcd
family and relatives, and the church and
Sunday School have sustained loss
which thoy cannot easily overcome.

Our Schools.

There is nothing in which the people Of
Walhalla and community arc SO vitality
interested rs education. All will agree
that wo should have good schools, and
none will deny that by united effort that
we can have them.
On Thursday last there was prclimi-
nary meeting at the Female College, of a
number of citizens of Walhalla and West
Union, the purpose of which was to dis
cuss the school question. The proceed
ings of this meeting are published in an
other column, and we ask all our people
to give them careful pcrusal, and the
subject to which they relate earnest con
siderltion. In this important matter
those who live in the country round
about should feel rs much interest as the
people of Walhalla and West Union; it
concerns all alike. We desire and expect
those living within a radius of two or
three miles to cooperate with us i'm what
ever pla" for the promotion of educational
interests may be adopted. They can pa
tronZe our schools with all ease and will
reap as great benefit from them as those
''''So "i'i'h viz WI I'oi"bS "oOu
schools will promote our material welfare
and help to build up the town. A live,
cntcrprising town is an advGn age every
way to the entire community. Our
schools have been neglected. Something
must be done. Now is the time to do il.
Let us unite in long pull, strong pull
and pull all together. Let each deter
mine to be guided by the best Judgment
of the majority. "In union there is
strcngth.'
On next Wednesday, July 10th, at 10
~. NJ, there will be at the court house a
public meeting in the interest Of cduca-
ton. 1t is desired to make this a mass
meeting of al our people. Let every
one feel that he has a special invitation
to come and bring others with him. Col.
JAS. ii. Rice, State superintendent of
Education, will he present and address
the meeting. Come and hear him. lie
will be followed by others in short ad-
dresses. All who feel any interest in the
education of their children, or in the
public welfare, should be present. At
the meeting referred to several special
committees were appointed. These com
mittccs will report at the public meeting.
The matters they have in hand arc i'm
rortant and demand the attention of all
our people. Some plan mus l,c devised
by which our schools may be placed on a
firmcr footing. 1t is not our purpose
here to attempt to outline any plan t.a!
has been thought of. Come out to the
meeting on the 10th instant and hear
what may be said on the occasion. If
you have any interest at all in the matter,
come; and if you have none, come any

in the afternoon, the summons of death entered
our town and claimed for It's victim Miss Marie

TuGAI.oo HOME, S. c.,
June 30, 1880.

June 0u, lSS0.
DEAR COURIER: Judge Webb, for
mcrly of Anderson county, S. c., than
whom Il better man never left it, died at
his home i'll Hart county, Ga, last week
We also regret to hear of the death of
Miss Mamie Mathcwson, of Wcstmin-
stcr. Death is a melancholy call ut any
season, but when we have run the gaunt-
let OF infant mortality and early youth
and reached the thrcsllhold of blooming
womanhood, how hard it is to become
rcconcilcd to such a fate rs the monster
death. The sickness of Westminster is
no doubt local cause, that strict sani-
tary search would remove. Some we'll
or dccayng debris has produced a
germ that ended in the severcst epidem-
les. Eternal vigilance is the price of
good health and if this will give it we
had all better be on the alert. Dict has
a greater controlling influence and has
more prcdiSposition to health than all
other influences combined. We speak
whereof we know.
Miss Theodosia Barton, of Fair Play,
after two months visit in Athens, Ga,
to her sister, Mrs. Flora DObbs, has re-
turned homo, accompanied by her sister,
Mrs. Dobbs
In speaking of Athens reminds lis we
used to haul corn by wagon fifty miles
to barter it at 80 cents per buslel. Said
an old fogic farmer: 81 believe we would
have been better of if the railroads had
never come nearer than Athens. | used
to get 81 per bushcl for my corn, now ]
can't get but 80 cents" We replied that
to have things laid down at our doors
cheaper than we could produce them
was just what railroads were built for.
How is that for internal improvement? ?
Give us railroads and if corn gets down
to 20 cents the poor can always have
bread to cat and to spare. But there is
another idea at war with this cheap
corn. We have heard good designing
men excuse Illicit distillcrs it is all H.
liciD because corn was cheap. "Must
sin abound that grace may moro abun-
dantly abonnd?"
Quite washing rain visited this sec
tion Thursday night and there is pros
pcct for more rain.
