& Death of W. 81. d. Gaillard.

= In the death of w. HID. Gaillard, Esq,
which occurred at. the residence Of his
daughter, Mrs. J.J. Sitton, in the town of
Pendleton, on Thursday afternoon, the llth
inst, after an illness of q few days, the
community has lost one of its most vener-
able and respected citizens. Mr.. Gaillard
was born in the city of Charleston on the
10th day of September. 1921, and was there
fore entering bis eightieth year. He re-
moved to- this county as young man, and
married Miss Sallie Sloan, daughter of
the late Benjamin F. Sloan, of Pendleton,
and has since resided at Pendleton, where
for many years he has been one of her
most prominent and influential citizens.
AS member of the Pendleton Farmers
Society, he took an earnest part In the pro-
ceedings of this organization, and was for
years its presiding officer. He va prom
nent member of the Masonic fraternity,
and was constant representative from
his lodge in the Grand Lodge of the State.
AS one Of the yestrymen of st. Paurs
Episcopal Church, he was one Of the most
devoted and earnest Of its members, and
was repeatedly delegate to the Conven-
tions of the Diocese. He was for many
years magistrate and trial justice, and
made model officer, displaying always
fine judgment and melting out exact JUS
tice until he resigned the Office, and de-
clined re.appointment.
Mr.. Gaillard, as young man, was iden-
tilted with the efforts to build the Blue
Ridge Railroad, and this circumstance
was, perhaps, the leading cause which
brought him to Anderson County. He
occupied various positions in the devel-
opment of the enterprise, and was, at the
beginning of the war, made superinten-
dent of the road, q position which he held
up to the time that the road went into
bankruptcy, as the result of the disasters
of the war. Mr.. Gaillard possessed most
remarkable memory, which for detail
and accuracy is seldom equalled. He vas
gentleman Of the old school-true and
admirable in all of the relations of life.
His remains were inferred in st. Pauls
Cemetery, in Pendleton, on last Friday
afternoon, and large concoNse of those
who knew aud esteemed him in life, gath.
erred to attest their respect for his memory.

Mrs. Nimrod Smith has, during this
year, sold 165 dozen of eggs and had as
many as she could use besides. I think
it would be good thing for every farmer
to have large poultry yard.
The farmers plant too much cotton for
the force which they have. think it
would be good idea for the farmer to
plant less cotton and attend to it better.
I am sure it would save lots of hard labor,
land then it would make just as much; as
I if you had a large crop and not able to
gather it. Suppose the farmers try this
plan next year and see howit works.
A certain young man has purchased q
buggy recently, and I wouldn't be much

place, g few days ago, Prof. Hamlin was
elected our next teacher. We hope be
