Craig had dollar for every busbel
of corn and pound of meat he had
given to the poor they would be rich
in this worlds goods. Such a. tribute
is far more creditable to his memory
than all the lands and mortgages he
might have accumulated had his
heart and mind 80 inclined him, for
he was a man of fine business quail
fications. So if he did not leave a
large property. it is owing more to
his love for his neighbor and his
charitable heart than anything else.
Mr.. Craig leaves widow and one
son and one daughter who have the
sincere sympathy of this whole COM
munity.
AS this article will probably con-
clude my "reminiscences of Old Pick
ems, it may not be amiss to state that
during the last year of the war Old
Pickens Court House was the rem
devious or camping place of the
"Home Guards" an organization of
aged men, who were too old or too
feeble to go to the front. Their
arms consisted of flint lock rifles, old
time muzzle loading shotguns, &c.
No matter how feeble they were nor
how inferior their weapons, every
pulsation of their noble hearts was
true to the South and most willingly
would they have offered up their
lives on the altar of their country.
They disbanded when the Southern
armies were overpowered, recon-
struction came with all it's horrors,
the old District was divided into
Oconee and Pickens counties, all the
best buildings, with two or three ex-
ceptions, torn down and moved to
Pickens or Walhalla, most of her
citizens going to one or other of the
new county seats. Whilst all this
is true and she is indeed ga deserted
village" the associations connected
with Old Pickens will long be re.
membered and the fertile lands ad-
jacent will always render this a pros.
porous community, and when cot
ton mill shall have been erected at
the High Falls and railroad con-
structed along the banks of the linn
pid Keowee, from Sapphire to the
great Southern, Old Pickefs may yet
Phenix-like, arise from her desola-
tion and be numbered among the
