Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1908-08-12

n. zimmerman, the Intendant, made
mention OF this and suggested the
building Of fence at the park to
cut off the view from the negro settle
ment below. We had forgotten this,
however, until our attention had
been called to It. Inasmuch as the
park has a balance to It's credit the
amount might be increased by SUBJ
scription anc the fence could be con-
structed and some seats purchased.
We hope to see keen interest mani
tested on the part OF our citizens.
Mrs. j. H. Ligon Is visiting in Bir-
mingham, Ala.
Mrs. Fannie Morgan, OF Atlanta,
has been visiting in Westminster the
past few days as the guest Of Miss
Henrietta CASTOR, Mrs. w. NJ. Cos
sett,. Mrs. B. H. Cross and others.
Her maiden name was Foster. She
and her sister, Miss Annie Foster,
moved from Seneca to Atlanta about
"a years ago The Foster old home
stead was near Richland, and the
farm is now owned by j. d. McMa-
| han. Mrs. Morgan says The Keo-
wee Courier Is the first paper she
| ever read, and her love for the paper
has never grown cold as 1t still finds
lodgment in their home in Atlanta.
We had the pleasure Of forming an
acquaintance with j. b. Cuartermus
| a few days ago. He came here from
Kenansville, N. c., and has associated
| himself with J.. G.. Tannery in the
contractor and architect business. Mr..
Quartermus is graduate of the In
| ternational Correspondence Schools
| OF Scranton, Pa. He is fine archi-
tect and draughtsman and showed us
the designs of the new Christian
| church, which he had drawn. The
| church will be erected on the corner
Of Augusta and Retreat streets, op-
| posite DR.. Rosser's residence, and
will be credit to much larger towns
than Westminster when completed.
1t will be 40X42 feet, with two colo
| nial towers. 1t will be heated by
modern furnace in the basement,
which will have four registers. The
peus will seat $50 people and will
be arranged SO every one in the audi
ence will face the pulpit. This new,
church edifice will cost about $2.5O0.
Mitchell street, the thoroughfare
leading in the direction Of the shut
tie factory and the knitting mills,
has been put I'm excellent condition.

vile this week.
1t is quite an uncommon sight in
this section to see so many big wa
| termelons as have been In ]. Wade
| Dickson's patch. He has about one
| and a half acres that are as good as
heart could wish. Mr.. Dickson plants
the Watson variety of seed and uses
a special fertilizer, and with his plan
of cultivation is cry successful.
! While at his home the other day Mr..
Dickson was kind enough to slip a
| 53-pound melon in our buggy. He
also has a patch of the best fruited
cotton we have seen in this vicinity.
| We would recommend that the diff
ferent sections or wards of the town
be named, so that one part OF the
town could be designated from ano-
| ther. We have two-fold purpose in
making this request. Newspaper
men in recording happenings would
find 1t very helpful If they could in
dicate every section by a certain
name, and it would assist everyone
i'm directing strangers to certain
homes they may chance to be inquir-
! '.,g about. We believe in system in
everything, and we feel sure the
town would be better systematized If
this IS carried out. Now, the section
! lying between the street the park is
on and the street crossing North Main
street at the Parker place is fast be-
ing filled with handsome residences.
Between these. boundaries forty-odd
members of the Presbyterian church
and Sabbath school reside and we in
ytte some Of our Presbyterian friends
to furnish name. Then there is
big settlement South of Augusta and
Retreat streets crossing. The Bap-
lists are In the majority here, and
we invite our Baptist friends to sug-
| gest a name. The Christian church
will be built on block opposite the
above section, and we hope the MEM
bers of that denomination will come
forward with name. And for the
block on which the Methodist parson-
age 1t situated we invite Rev. j. l..
Singleton or members Of the Metho-
dlst cnurcn TO omer name. Tne
handsome block on which the Bap-.
tist parsonage Is located might be
named by Pastor Moore or some OF
his neighbors. The hill where Rev.
A. p. Marett lives has a future be-
fore It. and might be called Prospect
Hill, or something of the Sort. We
hope some of the residents there will
give the matter some thought. Other
parts of the town might be mention
ed, but we give the above just to
get the work started. Furthermore,
