The Toney Creek Picnic.

MR.. EDITOR: The ANIMAL Toney Creek
picnic on Saturday, May 9th, was attend,
ed, as usual, by large crowd, and we
think will be most pleasantly remembere
by many who had the pleasure to attend.
or course, there was little whiskey pres
ent to some little extent mar the peace
and ioy of the occasion, but not much,
and it is with pleasure we say this. we
think every section of Anderson County
was represented by many charming young
ladies and gentlemen, and Greenville and
Laureus furnished handsome quota of
the large crowd. The island at Toney
Creek is beautiful spot, well prepared by
nature as a picnic ground, and benches,
refreshments, ETC., was an improvement,
and added to the pleasure Of the occasion.
But few candidates were on the grounds
We suppose it is q little too early for them
to announce themselves. We noticed that
everybody seemed to be in good humor
about the political situation, and there was
not that wrangling and excitement that
has characterized picnic occasions for the
last few years. ,,
In the afternoon a pleasant little dance
was participated in by few Of the young
folks at the residence of gentleman who
lived near. It is to be hoped that the pic
mic will be repeated again before the sea-
son is over. VISITOR.

At his recent dinner to the Methodist
Bishops, Governor Flower told Stone
wall Jackson story. Years before the
war Stonewall was stationed at Sacketts
Harbor. He had serious illness. The
village doctor brought him through It..
In one of the battles Of the war this doc
tors son, a major of artillery, was woun-
ded, captured and taken to the Confeder-
ate hospital. Gen. Jackson visited him
there, and, when he died, he had the
body EN- balmed at his own expense and
sent it through the lines under flag OF
truce to the old home in New York.

and that upon which his fame will proba-

Here comes the Boston Medical and
Surgical Journal, which ought to know
whereof it speaks, and advises all young
men and women who are contemplating
the study of medicine to think 1t over
carefully and make note Of the fact that
the profession is greatly overcrowded, the
latest statistics here in New England
giving a constituency of about four
hundred and fifty inhabitants to each
physician, which does not hold out
prospect for much more than earning bis
salt.

A Girl to the Rescue.

The Williamson correspondent OF the
Columbia State, under date. of the 10th
inst, says:
Last night three United States Deputy
Marshals swooped down upon B. +. Da-
Gus (of Cedar Grove notoriety), living
some three miles southeast from Will
liamston, who is suspected Of running q
weak-eyed tiger. Mr.. Dacus did not
tamely submit, but with the aid of his
sixteen-year- old son and fourtoen-year-
old daughter made stout and successful
resistance. Plow stocks, single-trees,
sticks and pistols were freely used.
While the battle ragged fnriously and
s'long time in even scale hung" Miss
Lucia Dacus, q beautiful brunette OF fine
physique and flashing black eyes, sprang
from her room in nocturnal garments
arrayed, and with one well-directed blow
with q club felled one of the Deputies
and seizing his pistol covered another
with it, thus enabling her father to Sc.
cure plow stock, with which he felled
another and captured his gun. 1t was
now quite an easy matter to disarm the
remaining Deputy which was done.
The Deputies being disarmed, fled pre-
cipitately for their lives. The conquer
ing heroes then turned the captured guns
upon the frightened fugitives and by the
sharp reports of some halt dozen rapidly
firing revolvers accelerated them In their
glorious flight. One of the Deputies is
sSerioualy 81 hurt by being struck with q
plow stock. All are more or less batter
ed and bruised. It is said that the Chief
Deputy. when he arrived at Pelzer,
where he has been staying for some
time, sagely remarked that I'll had
broken loose in Georgia" The firing
was so rapid and continuous that neigh
bors living mile or 80 from "of the
selt of war;" haslened to the scene, but
all that they saw were three coat tails
beautifully less and smaller by degrees.
Can't the HSeed Tick Rifles" and the Re-
fawm Sharpshooters" Of the Roasting
Ear Brigade be depended ON in this dire
emergency?

Crops are looking fine at present. Wheat

Our farmers are progressing finely with
their business. Early corn has received
its first working, and cotton is being har-
rowed and put to stand as fast as possi-
BILE. We had good shower or so the
later part of last week, which came In
the nick of time to bring up the balance
of the cotton. The stands now are pretty
fair, but the cut worms are bending their
energies to cut it all down. You could
hardly tell now by looking at the gar
dens that we had SO recently had freeze.
Potatoes and other, vegetables are prom
ising-wheat and oats have como out far
beyond our expectations.

The ordination of Rev. Wilton r. Earle
to the ministry, and Messrs. ]. T. G.
Jones, Baker Webb, w. w. Adams and
j. B. Leverett as Deacons, took place on
5th inst, as announced, at Cross Roads
Church. Rev. o. L. Martin did not
appear, and Rev. r. II. Garrett was ap-
pointed to preach the ordination sermon,
which he did from Tim. iv: l, 2. We
don't think we ever listened to a sounder
or more common-sense discourse. We
believe it had the desired effect, and the
good resulting therefrom will be gilt
tsring star in his crown long after earth's
last battle has been fought. We wish we
had the space to give your readers an
outline of the sermon, but time and space
forbids it. Mr.. Earle gave his doctrinal
views in aclear and concise way, which
rendered the usual routine of questions
unnecessary. The charge was given by
Rev. J. r. Earle, the Bible presented by
Rev. T. II. Garrett, and the ordination
prayer was offered by the pastor, Rev.
w. M. Pinson.
Mr.. Earle is the youngest son, save
one, of Mr.. E. j. Earle, and is model
young man. We have known him from
childhood, and can say that he is a son Of
whom any parent should be proud. We
see nothing to hinder him from becoming
! shining light in his denomination.
