Two old copies of The Keowee
Courier were left with us last week
one bearing date Saturday, August
%, 1862, and the other Saturday,
them of interest, especially to those
of mature years, who recall many in
cidents of the long past by these rec
ords of fifty years ago. These copies
were left with us by ]. l.. Talley,
who has read The Courier ever since
he learned to read. They were orlgi-
nally mailed to Thos. r. Davis, Mr..
| Talley's father-!n-law. The paper
dated August 90, 1852, Is just two
years and four days older than it's
present owner, Mr.. Talley having
been born August 18, 1854. This is
getting back to the first days Of The
Courier, which was established in
1849.
