Mr.. John Kiclley of near Fair Play,

with his hand on it's neck, when some

Our country is getting pretty dry ut

Mr.. Steve Smith is about the only

What d0 YOU think, Mr.. Editor, Of

Il writer not long ago contlcmning an
other writer for using personal filings,
ami before he got through he had
string of personal filings in the Shape of

altogether on whose bull is gored.
Key: w. Z. Barton, of Fair Play, S.
e., is teaching summer school ut Pine
Grove, Just over in Oconee.
we made one of q party to visit
Clemson College on the 9th inst We
drove to the park and ate dinner under
the park and viewed the broad acres Of
tnc, bottom corn. which did lis great
deal Of good. Then we went to the
Calhoun residence and inspected his
licirlOoms, among which was chair
that belonged to George Washington.
1t was an old-timc armchair, without
ROCKERS, and we took u seat in it and
of the virtue of that great and good
man, and maybe some day we could cut
some mans cherry tree, il we never get
to be president. We looked Mt cloak
made of beaver skin, which was pre-
scntcd TO Mr.. Calhoun by an Indian
chief, and it was very thick and soft,
but the moths are eating the lining
trustees ought to- take some steps to
preserve. it. We also saw Mr.. Cal
houn's piano, which is short, low, flat
instrument, and ina good state of pres
crvation. There is also IL large. dan
gcrous-looking sawfish bone which we
never took much stock in. We went
from there to the college building, and
there Mrs. "Old Rosin dc Bow" thrust
the baby into our arms and skipped
with the young. folks to go through the
building. Well, we dropped into n
chair and coddled the baby awhile, and
then, with a determination that is born
Of despair, we sllouldered the baby and
began ascending flight after flight of
stairs until we made six and arrived ut
the clock tower, where we found some
wOrkmen putting hands on clock face
as q substitute for Il real clock. Then
We gent to the chapel. which WIS
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 n nice stand for the
speaker, land q nice: table with an al
bum on it, with the pictures of the
great Literatures Of the day. There a
good lady. Mrs. j. j. Haley, (bless her)
proposed to carry the young "Rosin dc
Bow" awhile. We then went to tho IL
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 moi
commenced putting books in yet. Why
can't some millionaire present to Oul
college a fine library. so that our boy
can have the best advantage possi6l,
