deed to meet this alfable gentleman

gentleman of the old school and enter.
talns with that lavish hospitality for
winch they are noted, and then too. W.,
met that prince Of good fellows Col, T.,
l.. Miller and his charming wife and

"hen IN his section, and we dare saw

we Will have to c)ntent ourselves with
the pleasant memories of the dav. T
was surprised to find such lands as
thero are in this section. There is no
heeo OF any OF our people going west or
any where else so long as there are
hundreds OF acres of the very best lands
in South Carolina, to be had in our oyn
county. There is to DO found land
adapted for all kinds of crops, grain,
corn, cotton, &c. If our town Dcoplo
could see these lands they would i'm
agincsthey were on the Texas nroirics
AS usual pickpockcts got in their
work on "Wednesday. Mr.. J. C. Counts
had his pockets picked, but fortunute-
~ he had only put his return ticket in
the book stolen and they got no money
from him. An effort was also made TO
rifle his wife's satchcl. but was detected
before he succeeded. 1t is time tho
city OF Columbia rid the fair of these de-
testablo fellows .who prey upon the
public who visit Columbia.
we hear great deal of talk about
the Tree bridge, and that an effort is
being made to have our Supcrvisor
not appropriate the necessary amount
asked for from this County. If Saluda
Is willing to appropriate money for her
citlzcns to go into another county and
trade, 1t seems to us that the county
INTO which they go should be wil)ipo
TO do as much. We fear that prca,
many persons are laboring under mis-.
apprehension in regard to this matter
1t will not add one cent to the taxcs
nor take OFF one cent if it is not bnilt.
