The Resurrection of the Flowers
Quadrupeds and Creeping
Things.

Editor The Advertiser: This is
the first day of May and l am stand
ing at the foot hills of the Blue
Ridge mountains, looking down up
on the Keowee river as it flows
through the beautiful valley, along
whose banks the Red men would
angle the trout and shad. Oconee
county has some of the prettiest
natural scenery that [ have ever
seen; the rolling hills, the bubling
springs, the flowing brooks, the
beautiful waterfalls and the verdant
valleys. This is one of natures open
books, like the Blue Ridge noun
tains, new every morning and fresh
every evening. If there was nothing
in the Bible to teach me that there
is a resurrection, this great open
book of nature would tell me that.
IF man dies he shall live again.
The green foliage OF the trees tells
me that, the nuts, acorns and small
est seed tells me that there will be
resurrection. They have been lay
ing dormant all the winter in their
icy beds and the brown leaves their
mantle, now as the gentle rays OF
the sun warm them into life their
little shells will burst forth down
iu their leafy bed and you will see
the little bud peeping out of It's
dark winter grave and as the gen.
tie rays of the sun strike the bud
it is kissed into a beautiful flower
throwing into the air its sweet fra
GRANGE, so much so that it attracts
the attention of the humming bird
and the honey bee, and they suck
the sweet nectar from its little
bosom, and all the while the little
birds are singing their sweetest car
OILS. And all the four-footed quad
rupeds, reptiles and creeping things
are now waking up and coming out
from their long sleep. Nature tells
them that spring time is their res
direction morning.
Mr.. Editor if any one wants to
know who hit Billy Patterson tell
them he is in Seneca city. But if the
sheriff wants to know, tell him !
will be in RADON county Georgia
hunting for Villa.

The New Court House.

The following account of the COM
plelion of the present court house
was taken from an old copy of The
Advertiser dated February 81,
1889. DR.. LaBorde and Mr.. William
F. Durisoe were editors at that time:
"The new court house is now com
nleted and we invite the citizens Of
the district and strangers to come
and see it. 1t is a large and noble
looking building, standing on the
western side Of the great road lead
ing TO the upper country, and but
a few yards distant from the site of
the cid court house.
TIE building is of brick and is
two stories in height. In the lower
story there are six looms, the sher-
ifs office, the clerks, the commits
sioners in equity, the ordinary's a
Jury room, and small apartment
adjacent to the clerks office. A
large and spacious passage runs be-
tween the rooms.
The front of the edifce is at the
southern end, and is painted so as
to resemble granite. By a noble
flight of granite steps, protected by
block iron ratings, the visitor as
cends into the portico which is sup
ported by four massy columns.
From thence he enters the court
room, which is large and spacious,
and contains sufficient number of
windows. Besides the seat for the
Judge which is neat and those for
the jury, there are others arranged
conveniently for spectators. In the
court room there is a large semi
circular table for the gentlemen of
the bar. In the western end of the
upper story there are two jury rooms
and small retiring room situated
Immediately in the rear of the
judges seat. AS the visitor enters
the village by either of the great
thoroughfares the court house pre-
sents a commanding appearance,
and Immediately attracts his atten-
ton. In conclusion, it may be truly
said, that the style of the building
is chaste, and that it is an ornament
to the village.
