Ford.
We are glad to see our good
friend, VIM. Lausterer, out again, af-
ter a prOtracted illness. He is look
ing much better than for some time
past, and we trust he will soon be en-
joying his usual robust health. He
has so far recovered as to be able to
resume work, and it is his intention
to open his shop next Monday at the
old stand, where he will be pleased
to meet friends and patrons.
r. II. Cowan, Of the Oconee
Creek section of the county, was in
Walhalla last Saturday and paid The
Courier a pleasant call. Mr.. Cowan
is a very pleasant old gentleman. In
October next he will have reached
his S0th year, and his wife attained
her S1st year last February. Mr.
Cowan has read The Courier con-
tinuously as a subscriber for Sc
years, he having subscribed for it
first in 1858. He was born and
raised in Oconee, and has spent all
these years, with the exception of a
few when he resided in Alabama be-
fore the war, within the bounds of
Oconee. We hope that our good
friends may have yet many more
years of happiness and prosperity be-
fore them.
