pendloton Correspondence.

Probably no town in the State can boast
of having such fine stock as Pendleton.
There are about half dozen good stock
farms around here and all filled with
blooded stock. Some OF the stock is car
aried to the State Fairs held all over the
South, and they never come home with
out taking the prizes, not only in blue
ribbons; but in money. Pendleton is
proud Of her stock farms.
A new depot here would add much to
the looks Of PenGleton. This one has
been here ever since the road was built,
and we think it Is time that we had new
one. Several years ago the railroad
brought all the material here to build
nice depot, but Tor some unknown reason
it was never done. The lumber has been
carried away, and 1t may be long time
before new depot is seen in Pendleton.
When work first began on Clemson,
great many people thought it would ruin
Pendleton from business standpoint, but
such is not the case. The merchants have
at last realized that the establishment of
the College is good help to them. 1t
helps them in several ways. Some of the
mel chants send wagon loads of goods to
Fort Hill every day, and then the stu.
dents come down very often to trade.
There is no doubt about Clemson's help
ing Pendlelon.
A young lady here, being accused Of
writing these letters from Pendleton, said {:
'.If couldn't write any better than that
I'd quit" 1t was Senator 1rby who said,
When A. G. Latimer was accused OF writ
ing the famous "Crsddock" letter, "Hell,
man, Latimer can't write that good Eng
lish" Probably this ia what she meant,
only she used VI" instead of "Latimer."
All the old officers we're not reelected
in the town election, as was stated last
Intendant and the following gentlemen
were elected wardens: H. P. Sitton, J.W.
Harrison, Edward Smith and Edward
HOLMES. The Wsrdens are all new men,
and there is no telling what all they will
not do
In elancing over an old book recently
entitled "M,lrs Statistics OF South Caro-.
lina," published in 1S48, came across
this sentence: 'The climate of Pendleton
is one of the best in the United States, and
equal to any in the world" 1t Is tht
same to day as it was forty-fve years ago,
if not better. There is very little sickness
in Pendleton.
The hotel scheme is not dead yet, by any
means. As SOON as the money can all be
raised it will be built, and be one Of the
finest in the State.
Two families living in one house Is too
much. A few nice cottages to rent would
be great convenience to the people OF
Peudleton.
The Greenville Ne,ps gets here in the
mornings about twice week. It is very
strange, as the papers are thrown off at
Fort Hill every morning. We cannot ac'
count for it.
Tuesday, September Goth, is the day set
for the grand entertainment at the Opera
House. We would adYise all those who
cannot 60 to the Worlds Fair to go to this
its cheaper
There is some complaint about persons
killing the birds. Remember, boys, the
time to shoot partridges and ducks is not
ont until the first of November.
Mr.. zimmerman will begin 9 protracted
meeting at the Methodist Church in q
short while.
No one has been elected teacher In the
Female Academy yet. This will be done
soon. The Trustees have taken their
time In order to secure a good one, or
none at all.
A little paint or white-wash on some OF
these old s'storm shattered" buildings
would make them look great deal better.
Several Of the merchants are still In
