The bride you 80 long sought is won,
The foe is conquered now,
Enraptured JOY enshrines your heart
And victory's wreath is on your brow.
Take her, and with her while away
Earth's mortais happiest hours,
And may your pathway in this life
Be streYn With beaqteous AoWera.
It Is with sad regret that we chronicle
the death of Mrs. Mary Martin, wife Of W.
@. Martin. She was beloved by all who
knew her for her purity of character and
charity to the poor. She was consistent
member of the Baptist Church. Her re-
mains were laid to rest in Hopewell
Churchyard on last Thursday afternoon.
The funeral services were conducted by
the pastor, Rev. w. B. Hawkins. She
leaves husband and four children to
mourn her untimely death,
On last Saturday, ia company With our
good old friend, West Ballard, we took q
trip to Clemson College. The first place
of interest is the College building. We
visited the museum, which Is In the Sec
ond story. They have good collection of
stuffed birds and animals. We noticed an
alligator eight feet long, sturgeon fish
four feet, q jaw-bone of q saw fish two feet
long. IT is great curiosity, having teeth
on both uides Of il two inches. There is a
stuffed Wild pat Ia tne COLLECTION, which is
twice the size of q common house cat.
From the museum we went on top Of the
building, where one can get good view
of the surrounding country. Little Noun
tain, near Easley, looms up on the North
east, while Ceasar's Head and Chimney
Top on the North could be plainly seen.
Calhoun Station, on the Air LINE, is only
thrae. fourths Of mile from ths campus,
and is plainly visible, Obi it was grand
it was like some beautiful panorama
spread out before us. Here comes the
iron horse, putting and blowing; We
catch sight of him for an instant as he
dashes in cut, then be comes out to full
view, where for g full half mile he is
plainly in view. Then he dashes behind

carried back to Mr.. Calhoun's time. We

of the grand old Statesman as he rises to

welcome for which the South was Aoied,
iu ante.bpllum days We seem to hear
the plantation melodies as tLey foat on
the fragrant hrseae from the lips Of happy

the stalks of yellow corn. It was with the
deepest emotion that we retraced our

not help thinking of the good old times 50

our beautiful and glorious OLD South. We
passed by the old College (if we are right
