Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Eta JANE, December 9.-Farmers
are busy finishing up their farm work,
sowing wheat and oats and getting
ready for cold weather.
Your correspondent had the pleasure
Of attending the A. R. Presbyterian
church at Hickory Grove yesterday.
Rev. ]. L. Oates, pastor, preached from
the text: II will take vengeance, and I
will not meet thee as man." Isaiah
xiii, 3. Rev. Mr.. Oates Is held In very
high esteem not only by the members
Of his own church, but by those Of otiI-
er denominations, as Is evidenced by
the congregations which regularly at
tend the service Of his church. He new
er fails to have good congregation
when the conditions are favorable.
And as our people have now the most
convenient way Of crossing the river
they have ever had we may safely pre-
dict that not only the A. r. P. but the
other churches at Hickory Grove, will
have a larger attendance from this side
of the river than heretofore, and mer-
chants will find that trade from this
side Of the river will naturally concen-
trate more or less in their town.
The grand reunion Of ex-Confederate
veterans will meet in Dallas, Texas,
next April-22, %, "a and 25th. Great
preparations are being made for their
entertainment, and no doubt many an
old veteran will make a sacrifice to at
tend 1t.
Col. w. D. Camp has been appointed
county chairman for experimenting the
completion of the list Of soldiers fur
nished the Confederate army by what
Is now Cherokee county. Committees
Of three in each township has been ap-
pointed to carry out the work in their
respective townships, as follows:
Cherokee-Felix Dover, Robert Park
er and E. R. Sapoch.
Draytonville-M.M M. Titus, who will
appoint two others.
Gowdeysville-T M. Littlejohn, J. L.
Strain and G. w. McKeown.
Limestone-D. A. Thomas, Moses
Wood and C. T. Bridges. ;
Morgan-Joseph Price, Drury Scruggs
and Alfred Harris.
White Plains-B. F. Bonner, Nicely
Lipscomb and j. B. Brown.
We presume that other counties will
organize for the purpose Of carrying
out their part of this work; and 1t. viii
be the duty Of survivors and their sons
and daughters, as far as possible, te
come to the help of the committees and
give all the information 1t Is possible
to give them, that the rolls may be al
full and complete as 1t Is possible tc
make them. Had those In authority
done their work at the proper time
much Of the trouble and Inconvenience
now to contend with would have beer
easily overcome.
We regret to learn that Mr.. Bud Ad
dis, who lives with Mr.. ]. l.. Walker
near Sunnyside, had one Of his children
so badly burned yesterday that 1t dice
last night. Mr.. and Mrs. Adds hac
gone to church, we understand, wher
the sad accident occurred at theil
home. They have our heartfelt sym
pathies. :.
Mr.. Thomas P. McDill, who has beer
in business in Texas this year, until 6
few weeks ago, Is at his home at Hick
ory Grove now. He had a tough time
with malaria and chills, and his failing
health caused him to abandon his worl
for the time. He will perhaps resume
It next spring again.
In studying the Sunday school lessor
yesterday, we heard teacher ask hi
class which Of Pharoah's plaques they
would dread the most, when one little
fellow said, tine boils."
Miss Annie Foster, Of McConnells
Vile, who has been spending few day!
with relatives and friends on this side
Of the river, returned home yesterday
| Miss Wilmer Mcdowell, Of Hickory
Grove, is spending a few days on this
side Of the river with relatives ane
friends.
We regret to learn, by private letter
that Mr.. Elias Lee, Of Lowrysville
Chester county, had the misfortune tt
lose his barn, crib, stable and cottor
house, together with all or most Of theil
contents by fire one night last week
He is a worthy citizen and in his ole
age this misfortune falls the more
heavily upon him. We are unable t.
give the particulars at this time. Mr.
Lee Is we'll known and we'll connected
in this section and has the sympathie!
Of all the good people here.
Quite a number Of our people arr
moving to the cotton, knitting ant
carpet mills. Farming, they say, won
pay, or hasn't done, and they are quit
ting it.
We notice among York county teach
ers our young friend E. o. Macomsen
Of Sharon. We commend him to th'
pupils with whom he has cast his lot
and congratulate them upon securing
