The Court of General Sessions
for Oconee adjourned last Thursday
afternoon, and the jury drawn for
thl second week were notified not to
apr "a for service last Monday.
'udge Prince returned to WalhaIla
tuesday,, and such civil matters as
can be disposed Of without a Jury are
being given attention. 1t is thought
the Court will be adjourned sine die
thlS afternoon.
R. S. Thompson, Of Anderson,
arrived in Walhalla Monday in re-
sponse to a telegram announcing that
his father, Col. Robt. A. Thompson,
was not SO well. The venerable gen
tleman is, and has been for some
time, quite feeble, though his present
condition, we are informed, is due to
the weakness Of age and not to dis
ease. We trust that Col. Thompson
may be soon greatly improved.
W. NJ. Perry, of the Little River
section of the county, vas In Wal
halla Monday in company with his
son, Andy Perry, Jr. Mr.. Peer re-
ports fairly good crops in his section,
as that part of the county has mad
much more rain this spring and sum-
mer than others. In some parts Of
his section Of the county, he says,
crops are unusually good, and farm
ers will make a full yield.
We regret to chronicle the death
of Mrs. Frank Morton, which occur
red at the home of her father, Thos.
e. Deaton, west of Walhalla, on
Tuesday, the 18th. Mrs. Deaton had
beer in bad health for several months
and her death was not wholly uneX-
pected. The deceased is survived by
several children. Mrs. Morton was
a consistent member Of Zion Metho-
dist church and funeral services will
be held there this afternoon at four
o'clock. lnterment will be made in
Neville burying-ground. To the be-
reaved father and mother and orphan
children is extended the sympathy OF
a large circle Of friends.
Last Friday morning little Mary
Louise, t~wo-year-old child of Solicit
tor and Mrs. X. p. Smith, Of Ander-
son, had a narrow escape from in
slant death at the home of N. FAINT
in Midway, where the Smith family
were visiting. The little one was
found screaming with an uncorked
bottle of ammonia in its hands. from
which it had evidently attempted to
drink. DR.. B. f. Sloan was hastily
summoned and with heroic efforts
soon had the child vomiting. Beyond
some painful burns Of the mouth and
throat there were apparently no fur
Their injuries and little Mary Louise
has, we are glad to say, rapidly re-
covered and is quite herself again.

mer School for Teachers will close
