many brave old heroes of the Civil War

low-comrades with whom they fought side
by side more than forty-three years ago.
1t being known for some time past that
the young men of the county would give
the Confederate Soldiers dinner here to-
day and that ample preparations had been
made to give every soldier good time, by
ten O'Clock this morning more than three
hundred Confederate veterans had ar
rived Ill the town. Commandant Ashley

county is that the corn crop in Cherokee
Will be the largest in many years. The
splendid seasons the past month assured a
bumper corn crop, one farmer declaring
that 1T would be the biggest crop ever
gathered in this section. We see no rea-

in as prosperous condition as you will
find anywhere.
