Mr.. j. E. Zachary and wife, Of
Adairsville, Ca, are visiting relatives
and friends in this country at this time
Jim, as we always called him, used tC
live In this country, and we have gone
to parties with him, we have been IN
debating societies with him and went
to shows with him, and he was a jolly,
good fellow, aud we were real glad tC
meet up with him again. To meet with
old friends like that brings up old
memories, and carries one back to
the time when the world looked bright
and one was free from care and
thought.i 1t would not be ten years
before we would be rich as Jews. But
old Father Time is q great leveler OF
all things. So it has leveled down ou1
fortune so thai If we make a living we
thinkwe do wet. Mr.. Zachary IL in
the tombstone business, and will he
glad To- be of any service to any and ali.
Miss Harriett League, of near this
place, fell off a wagon the other day
and was knocked senseless for time,
and was thought to be dead, but she
rallied after she was worked with a
while, and she is thought to be out OF
danger.
Rev. DR.. Matthews is protfacting a
meeting at this place at the present
writing. DR.. Matthews is a forceful
and logical speaker, and carries con-
victiOn to his hearers.
Mr. John Richey, of near Fair Play,
was shot and killed by Bill Powers on
the evening of the 18th inst. 1t was q
daring and atr0eious deed. It appears
that Powers had went to Mr.. Richey's
house pretending to want to swap hor-
ses with him, and had eaten supper
with him and fed his horse. After sup
per he caught out his horse to go home,
and Richey was standing by the horse
with his hand OF it's neck, when some
one passing on the road attracted Rich
ey's attention. Powers said, "Look
here, Richey!n and as he turned his head
to him he put the pistol in his face and
blew out his brains. Powers then put
spurs to his horse and made his escape.
Powers was captured later and is now
an the Oconee Jail. He says he don't
care what they do with him so they
don't break his neck.
Our country is getting pretty dry at
this writing.
Mr.. Steve Smith is about the only
man we know Of that's selling old corn
ard fodder. Why don't all our farm
.ers make more corn and less cOttOn9
and our country would be In much
better condition.
What dc you think, Mr.. Editor, Of
of human nature anyhowe We noticed
a writer not long ago c0ndemning an
other writer for using personal filings,
and before he got through he had a
string Of personal fings in the shape of
3I'sn and Judges" as long as our fin
ger. Now, what do you think OF hui
man natures It depends, we suppose,
altogether on whose bull is gored.
Rev. w. G. Barton, of Fair Play, S.
c., is teaching summer school at Pine
Grove, just over in OcOnee.
We made ono of party to visit
Clemson College on the 9th inst. We
drove to the park and ate dinner under
the spreading oaks, then drove around
the park and viewed the broad acres of
fine bottom corn, which did us great
deal. Of good. Then we went to the
Calhoun residence and inspected his
among which was chair
that belonged to George Washington.
It was an 0ld-tlme armchair, without
rockers, and we took q seat IN 1t and
ithought perhaps we would receive some
of the virtue Of that great and good
man, and maybe some day we could cut
some mans cherry tree, If we never get
to be president. We looked at a cloak
made of beaver Gkin, which was pre-
sented to MI. Calhoun by an Indian
chief, and it was very thick and soft,
but the moths are eating the lining
away from the skin. We think the
trustees ought to take some steps to
preserve it. We also saw Mr.. Cal
houn's piano, which is a short, low, fiat
instrument, and ina good state of pres
ervation. There is also a large, dan
gerous- looking sawtish bone which we
never took much stock in. We went
from there to the college building, and
there Mrs. "Old Rosin de Bow" thrust
the baby into our arms and skipped
with the young folks to go through the
building. Well, we dropped into a
chair and coddled the baby awhile, and
then, with a determination that is born
of despair, we shouldered the baby and
began ascending flight after flight OF
stairs until we made six and arrived at
the clock tower, where we found some
workmen putting hands on a clock face
as a substitute for real clock. Then
we went to the chapel, which was
beautifully decorated, which we sup
posed was done for commencement.
Then we went to the Calhoun Literary
Society room, which is furnished beau
tifully with fine carpets and opera
chairs and with nice stand for the
speaker, land nice table with an al
bum on it, with the pictures OF the
great Literatures of the day. There Il
good lady, Mrs. j. J. Haley, (bless herr
proposed to carry the young "Rosln de
Bow awhile. We then went to the Ii
brary and there we saw what we
thought was vast sight Of books, but
those college folks don't think they
have got many, because there are two
rooms in the library that they have not
commenced putting books i'll yet. Why
can't some millionaire present to our
college fine library, so that our boys
can have the best advantage possible
to get q good educationc We then
paid our respects to DR.. p. H. +. Sloan,
