BRIEF WRlTE.UP OF WALHALLA.
"The Major" Travelling Representative OF the
Greenyille News, Visits Our Town.

Here we are again, and this time at
Walhalla, a beautiful little city, which
has been purified as by fire" since our
last visit some three years ago; but
which has risen Phmnix-like from it's
ashes, and gained new beauty, and
comctness. Now blocks of buildings of
stone ahd brick have taken tho place of
tho antiquatcd wooden structures burned.
Walhalla is city of magnificent dis
tanccs," and in these balmy spring days
tho streets present q most charming
appearance, only marred by tho ante
quatcd appearance of the "Home of the
Fire Department." located in the mid
die of the street. AS this is soon to
como down we need mako no comments
upon its ugliness.
The Walhalla Cotton Mill has 10000
ssPlndies, 32O Draper and Lowell looms,
tho Kitson and Falos & Jenks carding
and spinning systoms, all under the
management of e. II. Lucas, president,
and J. L. Crosby, superintendent, with
Il. "A. Nullinax, boss weaver; G. M. Shell
ton, spinner; G. T.. Gaillard, carder; j..
w. Ferguson, book-keepcr, and G. W..
Pitchford, secretary and treasurer. Tho
directors are G.. w. Pitchford, T. r..
Lucas, John D. Vcrner and G. Ii. Milli-
ken. business is good at tho mill and
no great amount Of products on hand.
The Walhalla Hotel, kept by Landlord
Beard, is in every way n first class
homo for the transient guest or for per-
manent occupants; everything clean,
orderly and comfortable; good rooms,
good beds, good food and polite and
cheerful attendants. No hotel that we
have visited bottor deserves patronage.
Capt S. X. Dcndy is resting from his
labors as commercial traveller, and is
giving attention 10 his model plantation,
where he is doing intense farming, Civ
ing his. ncighbors an object lesson in
deep blowing and proper fertilization
and preparation of tho ground by which

Do You Want an Orphan Z

month this summer, was suggested and
heartily received. have Just received
il letter from Brother Jamison, tho Su-

month.
Surely many Of our brethren would be
delighted to have one or two of these
orphans to spend July in their homes as
their guests. Thus you would have an
opportunity to see what is being done
for our homeless ones and to help in this
grand work.
Those desiring to help in this work Of

please notify Brethren d. w. Hiott,
chairman, or Jesse w. Stribling, secre-
tary, of the Executive Board, stating
how many and which are preferred
girls or boys. Brethren, please act
promptly in this matter.
The children will be brought to Seneca
and there met and received by those who
take them. But they will not be brought
unless applications are made for them in
time, say Juno 10th.
Write or call on Brethren IIiott or
Stribling at Seneca and make your appii-

as soon as this cough appears are easily
cured. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
has proven wonderfully successful, and
gained its wide reputation and extensive

which cause coughing. If it is not benc-
fetal it will not cost you q cent. For
