Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1907-05-01

To her aunt in Atlanta,
She could i'll afford to miss it.
Though Georgia 'gainst taking some
things.
Has yet no Law enacted,
And in some auto tour perhaps,
The measles she contracted.
j. K. Pickett and b. K. Bagwell,
Be it our fondest mission,
TO all our mental powers exert,
Or clear them of suspicion.
Would you my friend suspect these men
Had DER the wine cup gloatedp
If so you quite misjudge them;
Who, no sir; they're not bloated;
But sober quiet men are they,
Whose courage never falters,
Whose virtues shine like beacon lights
Across tempestuous waters.
Thos. Hubbard, who is now ensconced
In his new two-story domus,
Is an excellent example
For all ambitious farmers.
The Oakway school closed Friday,
And during her vacation,
Miss Leize Perritt expects a trip
To jamestown Exposition.
The Gillison boys have been again
These two old bachelor brothers
Resolve, we think, to profit
By the failures of some others.
They now (or one of them at least)
After serious meditation,
To shun through all his future years
The marital relation.
Though love he says is very good,
He never did deny it;
But tits by no means solid food,
And he never means to try it,
Wen own that many men who we'd,
Might avert domestic trouble,
If they'd but calculate ahead,
They'd find their means wouldn't carry
double;
Though Hymen's bonds have made them
one,
BY one now they are 'trothed,
Yet there are two mouths to be fed,
Two bodies to be clothed.
j. M. Gillison and j. l.. Smith
Good men of judgment sound,
But moro eccentric men than these
Are rarely ever found.
But what of eccentrioities2
For these we do not blame,
For have not all our noted,
All brainy men the same?
Mrs. Smith has suffered agonies-
Her sight almost obscured-
But all with Christian fortitude
Has patiently endured.
Miss Maude Ellison is no better;
We extend our heartfelt sorrow,
And may she yet her health regain
On some bright glad tomorrow.
We'd say of Capt. Ellison,
OF friends he has no lack,
For no one ever left his doors
But wanted to come back.
OF the Stones we little know,
Nor whence they came, nor why,
We judge they're men of firmness tho,
The name would this imply.
j. Erwin Dendy and family
Enjoyed a Sabbath's rest
At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Doyle,
OF whom they were guests.
D. A. Perritt's left hand never knows
(Nor ever yet his neighbors)
The deeds his right-What's that you
say?-
Neither of them labors?"
He makes living just the same
good one too you bet
Just wait, and keep on waiting
He may surprise you yet.
This page would seem blank indeed
Without Jap Doyle's name on it;
He who would evil speak of him
Might wish he hadn't done it.
Our rural mail man, Hunnicutt,
Comes promptly to deliver
Onr letters, some of which may cause
Many heart to quiver.
OF McDonalds, Guntharps, Mills we'd
write
In fact the whole creation
But time and space forbid us,
And lack of information.
Now we'd be grieved indeed to learn
A neighbor we've offended,
And beg his pardon in advance
And say twas not intended,
But If he would retaliate
With pen and ink on scroll,
We bow in meek submission
And say, Just let 'er roll."--E NJ. d.
