We were at Fort Hill last week and were
surprised to find how much food was
cooked for the boys daily. 1t takes two
barrels of flour, 300 pounds of beef, 150
gallons of coffee, 80 pounds Of rice, 30
pounds of grits, Is pounds of sugar, besides
the various other things cooked up daily.
1t required 65 large watermelons to give
them mess for supper. A barrel OF mo-
lasses only lasts week. President Craig
heads scheme of having the boys wait on
the tables has proved very successful.
and are paid 1920 per month, working
only three hours day. The boys seem
very well pleased with every thing in
general aud are all anxious for work.
at last, after standing the storm for
nearly half century, the once famous old
''cutter log" has passed into history. 1t
was on this log that John O. Calhoun
stirred the minds of the Pendleton people
for secession. From his day down the old
log has done its part nobly, but it could
not endure the trials Of this life longer,
and has silently passed away: The old
loafers have left one by one until now only
one of the old ante-bellum friends Of the
log is left, but he has discarded the log. and
has chair, which is distinguished from
the others by small piece of wood nailed
up the back.

the mail service on the Columbia and
Walhalla road, as we seldom get the

Anderson papers have occasionally been
delayed day. We do not know what 1s
the matter unless it is these inefficient
mail agents on the road.
