Miss Bugenia Stapel, OF Mont
gomery spent several days In West
Union last week visiting her cousin,
Mrs. G. w. Wickliffe. During her visit
there she was among her friends and
relatives in Walhalla part Of the time.
Miss Stape! Is a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. G. Stapel, who at one time
resided near Walhalla. Her friends
and relatives here were delighted to
meet her again.
From communication from
New Hope, received too late for pub
lication in full this week, we take the

PLY married on January f21st, Rev.

&C. A. Burton, who has been one
Of the merchants Of Walhalla for a
number OF years, has decided to re-
tire from business, and after to-day
his place at the corner of Main and
Tugaloo streets. known as the G. l..
Reid stand, will be vacated by him.
Robert Burton, it is understood, will
shortly leave for the West, and Mr..
Burton's health will not permit Of his
conducting the business without the
assistance Of his son.
If you appreciate the beauty and
should call at our store Thursday,
Friday and Saturday Of this week.
G. w. & J. e. Bauknight, Walhalla.
-R. D. Oelkers last week bought
the two buildings at the corner of
Main and College streets that have
long stood as landmarks and eye
sores to Walhalla. The buildings are
being torn down and what lumber is
worth saving will be Utilized by Mr..
Oelkers in the erection Of cottage
in another part Of town. Not long
since the lots on which these build
ings stood were sold to gentleman
In Greenyille, and at the time it was
understood that 1T was his intention
to erect hotel on the E Qrner lot.
This rumor Is again current, but we
cannot affirm or deny it.ip 1t is GER
tain, however, that Walhalla needs a
real tourist hotel-one that caters to-
the summer travel. There Is great
field open for Walhalla in this direc-
tion If it Is worked for what 1t is
worth. We hope that the rumors of
another hotel arc true.
Hunter, Seneca, Is offering some
exceptional values in wash fabrics.
The price Of cotton has been low.
Hunters goods are lower in price
than ever before. See his ad.
News was received In Walhalla
last Wednesday to the effect that lit
tie Miss Katherine McAlister, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Dell G. McAlis-
ter, Of Columbia, had sustained a Sc
rious and very painful injury through
an accident on the tracks Of the Co.
lumbia street railway. 1t seems that
the street car tracks were undergoing
repairs, and near the McAlister
home some excavations along the line
had been made. Katherine McAlis-
ter had started to cross the tracks,
when she noticed a car coming and
turned to go back, hesitated and
then went forward again. Her
foot was caught as she got off the
tracks and she fell, her body falling
into an excavation, leaving the left
foot on the track. The car passed
vation, but the wheels crushed the
toes and q part Of the left foot. The
injured child was taken to her home
In a serious condition, being later
removed to a hospital, where it was
found necessary to amputate part
Of the injured foot. Information this
morning is to the effect that the lit
tie sufferer Is getting along nicely,
being able to be out in a wheel chair.
She has many little friends here who
will regret to learn Of her misfor-
tune, but who are glad to know Of
her improved condition.
