New ERA, GA, March 6, 1893.
DEAR COURIER: On Friday we drove
Rex, our faithful Montana, up the Red
Hollow road by Martin and Avalon, rail-
road towns on the Il. A. J.. Railroad.
Avalon is beautiful town, owned and
controlled by r. D. Vow &; Co. Here we
noticed about thousand bales of cotton,
brick stores and depot, everything denot-
ing thrift and prosperity. Mr.. Vow is a
native of Oconee county and Learned his

lS4S. Hence he reads the COURIER.
Just above Avalon we take the Jenk-
ms Ferry road. crossing the beautiful
Tugaloo at the ferry. Mr.. Gus Perkins
owns the ferry, ard the land on both
sides is first-class bottom land.
Much improvement seems to be going
on from here to Westminster. Good
roads, good churches. and good farms in
a high state of cultivation are all along
the roads, and Genoting the highest ideal
of a grateful and progressive people.
Reaching Westminster at nightfall, we
stopped at the hospitable home of Col.
r. E. Mason, where we had a good time
with music, n,:rrh and converse sweet" /"
a gentleman of foreign BIRTH called
around, who claimed to hail from Den

" Potato Party"

TueALoo, S. c., March 7th, 1893.
One of the social events of the season
was "Potato Party" at Longs Hill,
few evenings ago, gotten up by some of
the yoIng ladies of Retreat and Miss
Margurite Sheldon, of Tugaloo. There
was a goodly number Of young ladies and
gents present. Westminster and Geor-
gia were represented by several of their
very best looking young men. The party
amused themselves playing (of course
they didn't dance; oh, noD tucker"
classification" etc., etc. The amuse-
ments continued, to the delight of every
one present, until about midnight, when
it was announced that the potato contest
would take place, which was fo. each
young gentleman to select a partner, each
to have large round yam and table
spoon, the potato to be placed on the
floor, "a time keeper and judge being ap-
poirted), and the couple, or either OF
them, lifting the potato in the shortest
time with the spoon, was to receive
prize, and the couple requiring the long
est time to pick up the potato also re-
ceived prize Mr.. Henry Werner and
Miss frankie Sheldon, having accom-
plished the feat of raising the potato in
less time than any of the others, (time
Is seconds), were awarded beautiful
"toy," the prize being presented with
short speech by one of the party. Mr..
Luther England and Miss Hattie Nc
Clanahan received the other prize, it
having taken them one minute and forty
five seconds to raise the potato, they
were awarded the taters. Thus ended
one of the most enjoyable parties of the
season. May it, like history, repeat
itself, and that right soon.
Our genial ex-Sheriff, W. ". Moss,
whom we hope to see reinstated at the
next election, for he was in the war and
knows at least how to tote secord, came
down to Retreat last Friday in hack
for the purpose of carrying some OF

Miss Genie, is teaching at Retreat. She.
together with Misses Hattie McClanahan
and Brevard Werner, got aboard the hack

Mr.. Porter Davis and wife have recently

and family. Porter is fine young man
and was well known in your county
before he removed to Texas. He is

the other Sunday, and while looking

Rabun county, Georgia, is in big
notion of building bridge across Chat
tooga river at Rogue's Ford. 1t pro-
poses to build one moiety, provided oco-
nee builds the other. The bridge is badly
needed and will supply long felt want.
We don't want any Cabinet Office, post
office, nor any other kind of office, but
we do want Gov. Tillman to recommend
to the next Legislature that the dog tax
of South Carolina be appropriated to the
county of Oconee as public school fund,
said fund to be used in paying the teach
ers' claims as they come due. A county
that is forced to ask credit Of its public
officers ought TO dissolve copartnership
or ask relief from some source. For our
part we will be satisfied with the dog tax.
Old mother earth seemed to have sus-
pended with the regular laws of nature
on Inauguration day, and jumped North
about 25 degrees to take part in the
national celebration. If the office-seek-
ers received as cold a reception as the
weather seemed to indicate, some of them
will certainly get left. We hope Grover
and the other big folks got frost bit
enough to put them in the notion OF
moving the Capitol South, where fought

Last week some parties on the South
Carolina side took the dispensary fever,
and with two little oxen hitched to lit
tie wagon, they set out with little kes
of whiskey for parts unknown. About
sundown one afternoon they mad reached
the summit of the hill, on the Georgia
side, near the river. The oxen, percciv-
ing that their masters had taken a little
too much whiskey for their own good,
took advantage of their now perpendicu-
larity and dispensed themselves of their
yoke and returned to South Carolina.
The dispensers, having become aware OF
the existing circumstances, set out in
pursuit of their servants After rambling
for some time they bethought themselves
of their little keg and returned thither,
when 10! they found that it had dis
pensed with itself. And now to the
sequel: The oxen dispensed with, the
whiskey dispensed with, and they, too,
must be dispensed with, and they were.
