Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. LomaX and little babe

at this the old home Of the first, who is tax
ling a needed rest. .
another L~owndesville boy, came here Mon
day and spent a day or two.
Mrs. A. J. Speer and her two children
went to Cornelia, Ga, her old home on
| Monday to remain there for several weeks
A protracted meeting began in PrOvi-
dence church this place. Tuesday at II a.
IN. with two services a day, the II at that
hour, the other at 8 p. m. These services
were conducted by Rev. ]. d. Fleming,
evangelist of the Augusta Presbytery. He
was favored with large crowds OF attentive
listeners, who highly valued his impressive
and instructive sermons. They were given
much to think about, and doubtless were
profited thereby. The meeting closed last
night.
Quite a nice little crowd Of people who
were passing through this place Tuesday
| stopped here a while, when it wa learned
it was Mr.. Dave Gillian and family, OF
Warrenton, who were on their way to a
mountain outing trip. A two horse car
rage, with three couples in it, a two mule
buggy with Mr.. and Mrs. Gillian and a
four mule wagon team loaded with every
thing needed in q camping out outfit. EV-
ery one who has taken u trip of that kind
can much better form al idea OF the pleas
| ures OF it than can be described
Rev. R. w. HUMPHREYS went up Tuesday
to Seneca to help the pastor, Rev. j. L..
Singleton, in a several days meeting; came
back Saturday.
The arrival Of last weeks county papers
somewhat changed the peculiar conditions
political as to Legislative aspirants in this
county. Up to that time it looked as ii
there were only three men in the county
| with moral courage enough to offer to rep
| resent the proud old county in its House OF
| Representatives. The announcements
made in last weeks papers complexities
matters very much. 1t seemed as if the
three then named would have an easy walk
over-no promises to make to secure votes
out OF which candidates sometimes and in
some places (such things have been heard
of have had to crawfish and wriggle out OF.
Mrs. 0. NJ. Abney, of Springfield, is the
guest of DR.. T. o. kirkpatrick and family
land has been since the first of last week.
Miss Pauline Hill, of Augusta, Ga, came
up Friday and has since been with the
family of Mr.. r. d. Cooley.
A good rain was given to us i'll this Sec
ton Saturday evening.
Mr.. d. l.. Barnes, who several weeks ago
went to Anderson, went into the hospital
and had an operation performed, 50 far re-
gained his usual health as to come back to
his home here the latter part OF last week,
which we are glad to report as he was for
some days In q critical condition.
On Saturday a large number of the col
lored people met near here to enjoy the
pleasures of a picnic. Everything moved
along quietly and peacefully till near its
close, when the tide changed from an era
of good feeling and peace to one of wal to
the knife and pistol. Mann Hunter, from
accounts, was the ringleadcr, had u bullet
hole through his heal just under his eye
through his jaw bone, and Henry Johnson,
his wife and %son-in-law, and two others,
pretty badly cut: First named did the cut
ting, but who did the shooting? That Is TO
be decided. DR.. J. D. Wilson was called in
and gave the wounded the necessary atten-
ton, in dressing, patches and stitches. Az
last accounts those receiving lead anu steel
were doing as well as could he expected.
