Mrs. @. P. Kay has been quite i'll for
some days, but we are glad to note that
she is convalescing at this writing.
w. F. M. FAINT, Esq, wife and son oi
Townville, spent few days last week in
"Cherokee' at the bedside Of their daugh.
tor and sister, Mrs. Kay.
It becomes our sad duty to chronicle
the death of one of the most estimable la.
dies Of our community. We refer to Mrs.
Caroline Green, who on last Tuesday
evening, 26th ult., quietly passed away at
the residence OF her son, Mr.. John T.
Green. in the 18th year of her age. The
grief.stricken family have the sympathy
of host of friends in this vicinity.
One OF Cherokee's numerous widows is
the owner of pair of spectacles, and
Dame Madame says the 'lenses' are
precisely suited to the eyes of one wild
frequently loses his own, and as often
sir! The loss of pair of spectacles will
be nothing compared with the gain of a

appear 80 near, yet so far"
The hum of the saw is now heard in
"Cherokee." @. W. Taylor is catering to
the demands of "Cherokeeans' in the way
Of lumber.
Well, Mr.. Editor, We can boast of most
any kind of o man that the eyes could
wish to behold, from the humble ego to the
big neighbor who, every time he meets a
"knight Of the pipe" in an humble voice
pleads for one 'chew of the mahogany
coloreG weed" coupled each time with an
exclamation that it has been quite three
weeks since he had Chew" Say, Mr..
-, we suggest peach tree leaves" as an
excellent substitute, as our "terbacker"
supply is somewhat short.
Wonder why our "bosses" don't place
the names of those men whom they intend
to fill our legislative balls (or at least An
derson County's delegation) before the
people, and thus wipe out of existence the
hopes of the many would-be aspirants.
True independence of character, says
thoughtful writer, is virtue possessed by
but few men. Some mistake stubborn
ness for independence, Others 90 farther
and attempt to call prejudice by that noble
name. TO be truly independent in politi-
cal affairs calls for patient exercise and
thoughtful research. No man who can
not dispassionately view question from
at least two sides can never hope to secure
independence Of character. Emerson, in
one Of his happiest works, says ut Is easy
In the world to live after the worlds opin-
ion, it Is easy in solitude to live after our
own, but the great man is he who in the
midst Of crowd keeps with perfect sweet
ness tho independence of solitude" As q
people We are inclined to jump at conclu-
sions instead of seeking for light. We set
up political standard of our own, or
what is worse yet, accept one made for US
by others. Ofcourse it is easier to accept
ready-made ideas, yet it is the solemn
duty of every citizen to analyze the pc
culiar measures and doctrines that agitate
our country from time to time, such as are
on the rampage in dear old Carolina to-
day. Let us as men who love the proud
name of old Carolina, put our shoulder to
the wheel and set up for ourselves stand
ard based on true Independence Of char
acter and then work loose from partisan
principles and factional prejudices. Then
let come what will We will then feel that
we have done that which is our duty
toward maintaining the position of proud
Carolina"

Oh if he only could have decided on the

succeed, try, try again. BABBLER.
