CROSS HILL NOTES.

We have been TO the mountains and
have seen their blue tops piercing the
clouds we have breathcd the pure air
from off their SUBMITS, but we didn't
find any mountain dew" Perhaps
that was because we did not look for it.
We were in the beautiful city of Wal
halla, with its broad and shaded streets,
and were particularly impressed with
the location OF he court house in i'm
mediate proximity to the graveyard.
Az we stood and looked from tho court
house over the grave yard and the grand
mountain view beyond, with nothing to
hobstruct the view, it seemed as though
we might have reached the limits of the
world. We were tod that there was
some more world over there, but pro.
fessed that we had no desire at that
moment of going through the graveyard
to reach it. We had the pleasure Of
meeting the genial editor OF the Keowee
Courier, ana were cordially and hospi,
tably entertained by the family of eX-
Judge Norton. The judges amiable
and accomplished wife is a native Of
Cross Hill, being the daughter of the late
DR.. Il. e. Campbell.
We were also at the live and hustling
town Of Senacl, which il located at the
crossingof the Blue Ridge and Southern
Railway. The town is noted for it's
healthy location and ia the depot for
some large factories and mills. We
Gems for favors, and will ever remember
their kindness.
Our principle object in visiting Senaca
was to visit IL brother, Prof. L. s..
McSwain, who has been critically i'll,
but We trust, is 0 better.
We made u dying visit to Clemson
College, eight miles from Senaca, and
can only say in regard to it, chat the
half has not been told u.s." This insti-
tuition, with it's magnificent equipment
CT material, buildings and professors,
should be, and we trust will be, of in
calculable value to the people OF the
State.
In,the course of our trip we carefully
inquired as to the crops and find that
the corn crop is very promising, and a
good corn crop means q good meat crop.
1t is thought the cotton crop will be
about an average one. 'Copious rains
have fallen all over the country, which
will be of great benefit to all crops.
William Bryson was buried in the
cemetery at the Presbyterian Church
on the 18th inst: He was II of our
most worthy and reputable citizens and
had maintained the confidence and res
pect Of the whole community through a
life which was protractcd far beyond the
usual limit, for he had reached the age
of about So years. He has gone to reap
the reward of q well.spent life.
