There will be an 'all day singing

l.. D. Stephons brings in a good
report from the farmers up and down
Twelve Mile River. He thinks they
are fully two weeks in advance of
where they were at this time last
year.
Jesse Robins, of Anderson, passed
through Pickens last Saturday on his
way home from Tennessee. where he
had purchased % head Of mules and
horses. He was Offering full size.
three-year-old mules at $500.
We learn through T.. B. Richard
son, who last Saturday attended the
final l,eeting of the county board Of
equalization, that everything is quite
promising for the farmers along the
Eighteen. and they are we'll up with
their work.
It is becoming customary to preach
sermons on nearly everything. Rev.
II. B. Browne, the pastor of the Me
thodist church in Walhnlla, gave his
congregation sermon OH Pythisn.
ism last Sabbath evening. It Wan
heard with much interest.
Edgefield and Ricllland counties
can take tho premium from Pickens
for p!owing bulls. You cannot 60
worry fur through either one OF the
first named counties without seeing
his horned majesty W.asuring the
fur1ow with dignitied steps.
Col. W. S. Pickens, Of Anderson
county, was before the board Of cqual,.
zation last Saturday, pursuant to no
tice. He says the farmers in his

"rops this spring than last, and yet
here has been no boom in the market.
The county equalization board was

lay, hearing appeals from raised IA
easements The increase in most of
Ihe assessments was SO modest that
rery few protests were eptered--not
10 many as last year-and the board
finished its work very satisfactorily,
md the lists will soon be made up.
Uncle Tom Cannon was very care

;ook to dispose of al his pro, ,,erty
after the payment of his just debts,
md appointed Mr.. Jcrre Looper and
E. T. Looper his executors, but it

nevertheless.
We learn that some extensive gold
mining is being done in Oconee county
above Walhalla. Recently some 5000
or 1000 pounds of gold ore were chip.
ped to distant parts from here for the
purpose of being tested. The reports
from the experiments have been re.
ceived, and the orc proved to be very
rich in gold deposits. Preparations
will probably be made at an early day
for mining on an extensive scale. We
are not at liberty yet TO give the nam O
OF the parties working this rich vein,
but important developments may be
expected ere long.-KeOwee Couri,r r.
"Rev. W. s. Wightman, whose re.
cent transfer from the Methodist to
the Presbyterian church we have
already noticed. was duly installed as
pastor of tho Ebenezer congregation.
Charleston, s. c., last week. We
wish him abundant SUCCESS in his
ministry. But we warn him now.
that if he makes habit of preaching
the unadulterated Calvinism. TO which
he gave in his adhesion in hie open
letter, he will hav" trouble. The
Presbyterians.-we mean the great
oody of them.-have no relish for
Bupralapsarianism. The most Of the
working pastors in that noble and
sturdy communion declare q gospel
which the ordinary hearer finds it
difficult to discriminate from the faith
