The Columbia Evenimg Ne,Os says
"speaking of preachers reminds one Of the
story going the rounds down in Barnwell
on the genial presiding elder. Rev. j. Wal.
ter Dickson. It seems that during certain
protracted meeting Mr.. Dickson was In
yited to dine at good sisters house In
company with brother now in the har-
ness. During the meal the young minister
asked for chicken-mistaking dish OF
turkey for chicken. With droll smile
Mr.. Dickson said: "Well, Sister K, be
is only chicken preacher yet; he has not
got up to turkey. You must bear with
him" Needless to say the young divine
made no more mistakes OF this character" :"
The survivors of Company &C." Pal
metto Sharpshooters, will have reunion
at Fret wells Spring on Saturday, July
goth, and all the old members, with their
wives and children. also the widows and
children of deceased members, are expect
ed to be present. 1t will be basket pic
mic, and nice, quiet, orderly time is an
ticipated. Let every member OF the old
Company be present, as in few more
wears they will have ''passed over the river
and be resting under the shade OF the
trees" Several old soldiers who live at
distance, and who were connected with
the same regiment as Company "C," have
been invited to be present, and we may
expect some 'war talk" Bring along
any relics you may have-such as uni.
forms, canteens, furloughs, paroles, &C.
as they will prove interesting to all, espe.
cially to the young generation. Don't
forget the day and dinner basket.
Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., of New York,
the famous preacher-lecturer, hIled his ap-
pointment in the Opera House last Thurs.
day night, and was greeted by large and
appreciative audience. The subject of his
lecture was "Back bone," and we believe
every member Of the audience, with the
exception of any demegogue politician
that may have been present, was fully
convinced that his conception OF the sub.
ieot was the correct one. Mr.. Dixon ia
certainly remarkable man and has few
EQUALS as lecturer. He has magnificent
voice, and Notwithstanding the fact that
he can rattle off words aud sentences like
repeating rifle firing balls, his articula.
tion Is perfect, and he makes very deep
impression upon his hearers. His lecture
was filled with solid food for thought, and
no man can hear 1t without being bene'
flied intellectually, morally and spiritual
ly. He was one hour and thirty.6ve min
utes in delivering the lecture, but 1t was 80
eloquent, chaste and beautiful We could
hardly believe that he had consumed more
than thirty minutes. An effort was made
to get Mr.. Dixon to spend another night
In Anderson, but he declined, with the
promise that he would visit US again in
the near future. If be will fulfill that
promise, we guarantee he will be greeted
by an immense audience.
