ness for the Newry property aud did not
let the bad news curtail my trip in any
particular.

steamer Luoania and she made the pas
sage in six days, landing us in New York
on July 4, whence l Immediately took
train for South Carolina and home, and
that, too, with feeling of profound sat
isfaction at being back again in my own
Payne's immortal lines that there's no
place like home
"At Newry I found upon my return
that the Courtenay mill was in excellent
condition, and that affairs there are in
such shape that the little damage result
ing from the flood can be disposed of
without serious trouble. We had cotton
on hand to last up to the new crop and
it was all saved. Some of it was wet,
but we have half of that dried and are
only waiting on sunny weather to dry
the balance"
Mr.. Courtenay is looking the picture
of good health aud ascribes much bene-
ficial influence to his recent trip, and
the complete rest from business cares
that it afforded.
