Mrs Malissa Lewis, wife of Anthony
Lewis died Of pneumonia at her home last
Friday night, and was buried on Sunday
at Mountain Grove church. She leaves a
husband and seven children and many rel
ativcs and friends to mourn her death.
Two Germans from New York made n
trip to our mountains last week with view
to buying some of the hills to settle a Ger
man colony on. .AThcy looked at some land
owned by Col. J. E. Iagood and returned.
It is not known whether they will buy or
lot.
Mr.. 7. @. Martin, cx-county commits
honer, after an absence from the Court
House year and day was in Pickens last
Tuesday, and his many friends were glad
o see him in such fine spirits and good
lealth. lie and Mr.. John Phillips came
Up to get some corn for ncighbor.
How much ere you going to give to
lave town clock put in the cupola Of the
lew court house? 1t is being put up in cl-
giant style for such a machine. MIR. Burns
will soon tell us what it will cost us. 1t
must be put in il it takes the price of all
he loose chickens that daily tear up the
rillagc gardens.
We came very near having fire i'm
own last Thursday evening. About three
>clock fire was discovered burning the
'hingles near the chimney of the hotel. It
cached it and cxlinguishcd it without
much trouble. No damage was done ex-
,ept a small hole burned in the roof

Ems, the hateful things will fly over and
scratch up and cat up the seed and tender
plants, and make ones religion perch very
lightly on her apron pocket. Do, please,
keep your fowls in the coop.
Miss Mary Riley will be married TODAY
"wednesday in the Presbyterian church nj
Easley, to Mr.. Richard S. Brown, the poD.
ular and efficient book-kccpcr of w. NJ
Hagood & Co. The ceremony will be pcr-
formed at 2 p. m. and the happy couple
will leave on tho nOrthbOund train. They
have many friends who join the SENTINEL,
in wishing them q long, happy and pros
porous life.
Mr.. w. A. Neal, Of Ior"wcll town
ship, is going to plant 100 acres of his best
upland in corn this year, reducing his cot
ton crop by about that much, and Of
course, reducing his expenditure for guano
in the same proportion. Mr.. Neal has been
In Columbia the past week attending the
meeting of the pcritcntiary directors with
whom he made contract for twenty-five
convicts to work his farm this year. He
arrived home with them last Friday night
md now has them at work. He has built
! stockads to keep them ccurcy.-Pco-
ble's Advocate.
1T is not at all surprising that the citi-
zen' are becoming anxious to hear somo
reliable railroad news. The delay has been
caused by the unparalleled strinrcncv in
money matters. We have not for a mo.
msnt lost faith in Mr.. Burkhaltcr's si.ceri-
ty. His ability has only been postponed
for awhile. He needs about 800, 900 cash
to start with, 800 Of which he proposes
to contribute himself. About $G 900 or
$1,000 of this has already been promised.
SO we are much encouraged to think that
the picks will smite the grit in short time
We hope Mr.. B. will write the SENTINEL n
letcr once week until he goes 10 work.
