Mr.. c. ]. Hunt, of G,eenville, s. c., is
visiting his brother, DR.. w. T. Hunt, Of
this placa
"Tru.h is stranger than fiction" was
verified the other day when two women
and little boy came through this place
from Spartanburg walking. They told US
that the little boy had not walked step
since last June until they carried him to
DR.. Leo, at Spartanburg, where he treated
him, and the consequence was the boy
was walking from spartanburg to his
home near GAINESVILLE, Ga. The women
thought that DR.. Leo was second Christ.

Maxwell's old bridge, three miles north
east of this place, has tumbled into the
river. Travel Is entirely stopped on the
Pendleton road, and we think the Com
missioners of Anderson and Oconec ought
to ioin teams and build an. iron bridge, as
Mr. Sloan has givon the old pillars to the
County.
We'll, Mr.. Editor, we feel full to day, as
we attended the pic mic yesterday given in
honor of the closing of Prof. Clayton's
school, of this place. The little folks met
at the wreck of MaxwelPs old bridge, on
Seneca River, and we had delightful
time fishing, romping, gathering wild
flowers, and when the farm bell of Mr.. J.
L. McCarly tolled the hour of noon we all
gathered at the old Maxwell house and
partook of dinner, beneath the waving
trees, that would have pleased the most
fastidious. And then, to crown all, Mr..
Clifton Brown and Mr.. Edward Durant
RECALLED the crowd with some excellent
music on the banjo and autoharp. Rev.
]. F. Singleton and myself return thanks
to Prof. Clayton and ]. L. McCarley and
ia mily and all the good ladies and gentle
men for courtesies extended to US while at
the pic mic. All in all it was the most de-
lightful pic mic that We have attended.
Mr.. J. T. McCarley Is model farmer.
He showed us the broad, extensive bot
toms where there are over 100 acres In one
body, which are planted In corn and cot.
ton, all of which was as clean as a yard,
and the crops looking fine.
Prof. Clayton will spend part Of his va
cation in Pickens County and will go
from there to Arkansas and spand awhile.
