LETTER FROM PICKENS.
PICKENS C. H., S. C., Oct. 14.
DEAR MESSENGER : You were a
welcome visitor up here last week. We
heard you comnpliumented very mnuch.
A happy face, a brand-new dress, an
enterprising front, anid a chattering
tongue, will make you take superla
latively well. Long and happy be
your life ; high may your head ever be
and( full your purse.
There ia nothing exti'a new in Pick
ens. Everything pursues the eveni
tenor of its way ; nimble-tongued gos
sip has much. .to say, but we will not
tell on her this time. Good s'chool,
many boys, inany girls-but neamiy all
of them are prizes located away up to
ward the top of long, slender, greasy
poles, and the gaping throng of COnl
testants are kept back from the fort of
the "tall sycamores" by flowing
swords. Ruling with rigidity up here
wIns tihe title, of the "Tall Sycamore
of the Wabash."
Tile young men of the lorlmont*
College have decided to give-a publie
debate in the Hall. of the Pakiorian
Literary Society next week. It comes
oft on Friday night. Oie of your
editors would be received with open
embrace. The girls of the College are
going to organize Into a Society this
week for their "Itnprovement lit Rati
ocination and Intellectual Gimnas
ties."
Mr. G. W. Taylor has just returned
from a visit among the ditherent fairs of
the State. ie must have met with his
fate, for he has tremor cordis all the
time. It's a poor fair which don't
make some fellow "live Ip among the
stars.'j The more he sh.ikes his torch.
the more It shiiie;'.
Pickeis has a dumde. We are ahead
of Easley in that respect. :i't we ?
Easley's paper, sounds pretty higt
though.
We are settling down to Winter
quarters now. No more Sunoner ro
ses to bloom and tlotirisi among us.
All the visiting young lad5ies have gone
except Miss Lucie Ilagood, and she
leaves for the sea-shore this week.
"We would that it were Smummer al
ways." But time does '"move on in
it's ceaseless course."' Such depart uires
is enough to make a fellow '-os:e his
mirth an(d his disposition go so heavily
wit ii Him that the brave, overhanging
firmament, all fretted with golden
tire," seem but a waste of (lty va
pors. We close; so long. C.
P. S. There is to I. a- B up here B-4
long ; we will send you anl iivitation
or ai piece of cake to dream oi.
-For several days the colored
people have been holding a camp
meeting at Keysville, near town.
Before it started one of the lead
ing brethren approached a white
gentleman who lived near and
raised a good deal of stock, and
the following conversation ensued :
"Boss, how many pigs is yer got
and where is dey ?" "WYell, about
thirty, and most of them are in
the woods." "Boss, I'd 'vise
you to put dem hogs in de pen
and sit over dem with a double
barrel gun. Camp meeting and
hogs don't mix well together."
Washington (N. C.) Gazette.
-We see how much a man has,
and therefore envy him ; did we
see how littic he enjoys it we would
pity him.
