The town is very quiet today after
that refreshing shower that fell yes
terday. This is the first rain since
March. and everything seems to have
taken on new life. Everyone seems
to be feeling better and in the case of
two ssdusky damsels' Of this place.
They feeling extremely good, so
much so that they proceeded to fill
the air with cat-fghting sounds. The
whole sum and total Of the matter as
it comes to us, is that after the re-
freshing showers Yesterday, this pair
of blackberry brunettsa' feeling so
mucn ezhiIerated, that they proceeded
to lombard one another's very sha led
character, when the party of the first
part, towit: Nit Young becoming
tired of the Nit of the party of the
second part, towit: Georgia Griffin,
alias Griffin Georgia, Mittie Nit
reached for her razor and proceeded
to carve the countenance OF the pal
avering Georgia, until Chief Smith
appeared on the scene and called
time. Their case will be called in
the Mayors court this afternoon;
then woe to you who feel 100 good
after the rain.
The commencement exercises were
largely attended Friday night, al
though the weather was very unset
tied. The exercises were very good,
and especially the thesis of the grad.
yates and the Indian club drill. A
large crowd of out-of-town present.
Among those from Pickens were
Messrs. Ernest Folger, Eugene Alex
auder, James Carey, jr., and others
we can't mention now.
A game of ball was played here
Saturday between the Easley mill
team and team from Mills mill,
which had all the fire, ginger, smoke
and fume in it that it takes to please
the balloon fanatics. TWAS pitch
ers battle from start to finish; Werner
being on the firing line for Easley
with Ashmore for Mills mill. Up to
the fifth inning only four hits had
been recorded. But a few costly
errors run the score up in the last
four innings, the final score being 7
to s in favor Of Easley. The next
game will be played here next Satur-
day against Poe mills.
The K of P. ball team has been
doing some heavy practicing Of late,
preparatory for the game against the
Pickens Knights next Wednesday.
A reception at the Easley Mill hall
Saturday night for the benefit of the
ball team netted about $4,000. A
nice little sum for one night and will
help out the team very much.
J. P. Carey, Esq, was in Easley
yesterday Ell route for his home from
Columbia, where he-has been in at.
tendance upon the Supreme court.
Messrs. George Williams and Tom
Hughes, two prosperous farmers OF
Looper, were in town today. They
report good rains in their section for
the past few days and crops good.
Coed rains are reported in all sec
tiops of the county except south OF

There was young student in Eas-
ley who dreamed dream one night
last week. He dreamed that he was
about to be kicked, and jumped from
his bed overturning a table which
went down with q crash that sounded
like 40 pound sledge hammer fall
ing in a basket OF lamp chiuneys,
awakening the household stopping
late travellers who wondered where
the explosion had took place. Say,
Young fellow. sleep with your eyes
open next time.
Mr.. Editor, I have just beard some
thing squeak, and I am afraid some
one is trying to steal our name again,
so we will tie up our budget for the
time being. Dall Neeo'e'
