Clerk OF Court A. j. Boggs, Of
Pickens. was among the visitors to
Walhalla last week. Mr.. Boggs was
visiting his old friend, former Clerk
Of Court G.. Il. ID. Burns. and looking
after matters Of business. Mr.. Boggs
has been serving rs Clerk Of Court
for Pickens county for number Of
years, but suffered defeat at the
polls i'm the primary election on the
29th. He is a pleasant gentleman
and now that his duties will not Ion
ger hold him so closely we trust that
Oconccans will see more Of him than
in the past.
Among the visitors to Walhalla
during the past few weeks were Mr.
and Mrs. J. 7. NJ. Riser, of Selma,
Ala, who were most cordially well
coined among their many friends
here. Mrs. Riser is pleasantly re-
membered here as Miss Florence
Thompson, a daughter OF the late J..
w. +. Thompson. Mr.. Riser is one
Of the most popular railroad men Of
his adopted State. He is a native Of
Newberry county, and on the occa-
sion OF their all too infrequent visits
in South Carolina, Mr.. and Mrs.
Riser never omit calling on friends
in Oconee and Newberry counties.
