Our young lawyers are too young,
yet to even count their "pin feath-
ers.' SO we give only those who are
really prominent as the world counts
such. They are as follows: The late
Major s. p. Dendy; Col. j. s. Werner,
now of Columbia; Col. r, T. Jaynes,.
of Walhalla; w. Burton Jaynes, now
of Washington; and Hon. Charles
Werner, now OF Tuscaloosa, Ala.
We beg to add that we can also.
boast of two splendid f,ddlers, OF
local talent, who were reared on
Richland soil late Thomas Y.
Jaynes, who died in Texas several
years since, and Capt. s.. X. Dendy.
We do not suppose that the world
at large has been benefited by the
local history of either Bounty Land
or that of Richland, but we DO think
that The Courier has been, as wa
know of one subscriber that our lit.

With best wishes, adieu,
