Mr.. w. III. Humbert, the newly elected prn.
cipul of our High school, spent several days
in our community visiting our people, fornl-
ing new acquaintance, &c.
There closed at the Ridge Wednesday night
Il protractcd meeting of twelve days continu-
ance. 1t was remarkable meeting in many
respects. The regularly ordained ministers,
1t was conducted, labored Zealously and ef-
lcctivcly. From the beginning of the meet
Ing good feeling and much interest prevail
ed which at once gave promise of good re-
suits. Workers, male and female, young and
Old, at once came 10 the front, and took an ac-
tive part in the exercises, and before the close
the authorized preachers had but little TO do.
Great and much good was done and Its effects
will be as last ing as time itself
Since my last we have had much rain,
which caused II good deal of uneasinesS upon
the part OF the planters in regard to their
crops upon the streams, notably so upon the
savannah, which q time or two has barely
failed OF overrunning its banks. 4 rise in it
of only few more feet would, at least, have
badly damaged the finest crops that haye
been upon IL for years.
The rains have very seriously interfered
with the pulling of fodder, and the rains have
revived the almost forgotten practice OF top
ping cotton.
A few days ago Mrs. S. S. Baker returned
from two weeks visit TO relatives in North
Carolina.
Mr.. s. G.. Baker of Anderson, came down

Rev. Squire DodSon, cOioreu, come to grief.
He went to Anderson last year and bought
supplies from Mr.. j. s. Fowler, to whom he
gave Il lien upon Il crop that did not material
pectcd to own III the future. His clerical
robes did not protect him against such vio-
latiOn Of law, and when two OF our young
men went TO serve the papers" he suddenly
"brokc' for the bushes, and after a two hum
drcd yards exciting race through briars and
over gulics he had to stop to "wind," and our
fastest running deputies were glad enough of
it. He is nov; peeping through the bars of the
Anderson Jail.
Mr.. J. l.. McDavid who has been clerking
several years for Mr.. T.. II. Horton returned TO
Troupe.
