graphic dispatch on Monday from CAL
houn, Gordon County, Georgia, announc-
ing the sad intelligence of the death of his
mother, Mrs. Charlotte E. Thompson,
which occurred Sunday morning, 10Th in
slant, of paralysis. Mrs. Thompson was
native Of Anderson County, in this
State, but bad been citizen of Georgia for
over fifty years. She was daughter of
| Hugh CASTOR, who lived near Pendleton
many years ago. The deceased was truly
mother in Israel, and lived to be eighty
years old. She was twice married, and
during her long life she was an affectionate
mother and devoted wife. She leaves
only two children to survive her, Capt.
Smith, by her first husband, and Geo.
Thompson, by her second husband. She
was q member of the Presbyterian
Church, aud for several years, we are told,
she as anxiously awaiting the summons
| to depart and be forever with the Lord.
The many friends of Capt. Smith extend
| to him their sincere coincidence"
Last night the Cadets of the P. NJ. I. en-
| ioyed most pleasant Lawn Party on the
grounds of the Institute. During the
evening delightful music was discoursed
by the Italians, while the laddies and las.
sizes promenaded tho grove, whispering
thoughts of the ice cream and other re.
freshments that were being arranged in
the Institute building, or perhaps occa-
sionally suggesting ideas of o "happy time
a coming" There were many of Ander-
sons pretty girls present, and a goodly
number of visiting young ladies equally
beautiful and charming. The books tell
us that young lady should take the arm
of their escort and never allow the young
suppose these writers are not good author
ity, for the practice in Anderson is for the
young men to take the young lady's arm.
This may be due to the fact that now-a-
days the men are beginning to be regarded
as the "weaker vessels" Any way the
young people had good time, whether
promenading, sitting in couples under the
trees talking upon the subjects about
which they thought most, or eating ice
cream. The grounds were beautifully
lighted by Chinese lanterns. The Lawn
Party was pleasant success.
