Mr. Bryan, a Persian, now a student at i seminary, at Columbia, stui ing for the ministry, and wh he graduates he intends to : turn and preach the gospel to t Persians, where as yet it seel very few missionaries ha went. From his description of t country, with dry summe beautiful flowers, and gra: scenery, walled cities, and farming done with aid of i gation. Any of our male pop lation who have a special am1 tion to rule his household , preme and especially his spoui might be able to more ful gratify his ambition by going Persia, and joining the Mahon dans, and then he kick and ci his wife around to his hear content, and can't be sass back, and he would not be bot ered every change of the moc for his wife or daughter a n( hat as the women never we hats or disgraces herself talkii to men, as she dosnt go n shopping or even to the P< Office, but is to all intents al purposes a slave, of the lowi order, with no rig htsof her ow only just a slave for life. So much for the Mahomed; religion by which Persia is ri ed. The Mahomedan, Bible, made up without loye or t: divinity of Christ, so to be Mahomedan, and not stand with the priest, is to be in ye hard luck it appears. All Bil readers will readily call to mil the great city, of Nineva, a: Jonah, being commanded to to preach, and how he tried escape the work and was sw lowed by a great fish, and aft his tussle with the fish, he we and preached to Nineva et From the New Testament, seems the gospel was preach to the Persians. If so how is we find the Mahomedans, this date? who can tell? al again if they have let the gost get away from them are we n liable to the same experien judging from the tendancies the times in these U. S. from religious stand point? Who ci say. Capt.

Old Father Time, has call, in another Old Veteran. M. (Blue Tom) Smith, died at 1 home inlLiberty this mornin April 16th, of pneumonia, aftI nine days of serious illness;1 was 65 years of age, and leav a wife and three children, ai two aged sisters to mourn I death, besides a host of relativ~ and friends. The interme took place at the Liberty Cen tary, Sunday, the 18th. Burial Service was conduct< by Rev. - Henry, Qf Easley, presence of a large boncourse relatives and friends. The pi bearers, were all old soldiers, ai most of them were with hs'n the war. He was born and ra ed two miles east of Libert His father, was Squire Bil Smith, who lived at the old hon place, until a few years ago]1 moved here. When the war broke! out]1 CATEECHEE NEWS, as As this (Monday) is one 'f..l most lovely mornings it was ever our pleasure to enjoy and while seated in the shade enjoying a salubrious breeze, we will pencil a few scattering thoughts to - that dear old home paper, the 3, Sentlnel-Journal. idI s IAt the outset we wish to say 1 while there are scores of larger papers and papers that contain more news in general than the S.-J., yet there are none in cir culation that are as near and e dear to my heart as the dear old e Pickens Sentinel. It was that paper that the writer first ever )f read a line of print in and Maj. n D. F. Bradley, now of Easley, n S. C., was then its editor. It Is was through the good advice of d that Christian gentleman that .y the writer is able to pencil these - thoughts today. When quite 7 young and before it was ever our opportunity to enter a school room Major Bradley gave us ad vice as to the need of an edu cation and it so impressed us 3 that when we had an opportu nity (what few we did have) we t I made use of every minute. We - now see the importance of good y advice when properly taken and 1 right here we want to thank y Maj. Bradley and if it be that it e is the Lord's will to spare our nlife longer than his we want to a bow in humble submission at his grave and drop a tear for the e love and affection that we have e for him. ,e . Boys, always take good advice 3 from one who is capable to give a it. There is no telling as to its . importance in the future. S May the Sentinel-Journal live to see its brightest and happiest Lt days yet to come is our prayer. it It was our pleasure to take a e day's drive in the country last d Friday and were surprised to see e how much progress had been o0 made by the farmers in the past y two weeks. If the weather con 1- tinues favorable for a short time r- farmers will soon be through h planting and nothing to do un n til the corn and cotton gets up r large enough to work. -. In our rounds we stopped at ' Mr. W. C. Garrett's a few min s utes. Mr. Garrett is doing a - general merchandise business at e the I. D. Rice stand at Six Mile d and tells us he is getting a good e trade. He finished planting his icrop last Thursday. Wad farms >and Mrs. G. attends to the store. 0 Wad is too work-brittle to stand d behind the counter all the time. e He was raised to work and we b believe from the way he goes at s5 it that he likes it. eMr. Whit Garrett has just got t completed for himself at Six Mlle as good a house as there is in the up-country. Six Mile continues to improve y and at some future date will be e a good big town yet. r We also stopped with Mr. M. B. Evans a while. He owns 237 acres of land on the road leading from Six Mile to Gap Hill church and has built for himself a nice - residence in an ideal place and e from all dppearances he is doing k well. Mr. Evans has leased all Sof his land except about 15 acres 1and is kindly taking a rest in this latter days. We next passed by where Old Riddle lives and while we did not get to see her judging from the way everything looked there abouts she sure has been at work this spring. Boys, if you don't like to work, you had better never want to marry Old Riddle for she sure does work and every body around her has to do the same thing if they stay there. Just ask Old Riddle how she enjoyed the singing at Six Mile, for rather ask her if she sang any e that evening. s Mr. R. T. Hallumn, of Pickens, r passed through Cateechee yes S terday. Y Miss Angie Duncan, of Sene Yca, was at Cateechee last Satur e day, representing Mrs. Cochran's Smillinery parlors. She did a e good business. t Mr. Charlie Hendricks and his sbest girl were in Cateechee last ISunday. J. Alonzo Brown says I he never likes to refuse to mar gry a couple but if Charlie comes before him with that girl he will .have to refuse for he wants her ~himself.I i -Mr. Joe Johnson and his girl vol eered for one year, in 11 pril, 1861, and afterwards en ast listed for three years, with the Palmeto Sharpshooters, Cap - ast Garvins Co., and was elected 1st. I Lieutenant in 1862. was a brave S'and efficient officer, and s was seriously wounded i in the head, from which he suf P' fered more or less ever since, es q* pecially in hot weather. to Another old soldier, widely 'he and favorably known in this u- section, Mr. B. F. Mullikin, of the Slabtown section, died at ns his home on the 16th inst., after vn, a lingering illness of several i months, and his remains were laid to rest at the family bury ing ground near his home on the 17th with Masonic honors, a 9. large concourse of relatives and er- friends attending the funeral. ell He. too, served gallantly through ng the war. is Died here on the night of the he 11th, after a serious and linger Iy- ing illness of several weeks, a en little son of M. L. Sullivan, for re- merly of Anderson, but now a he resident and merchant of this ns place. The interment was had ye at the Liberty cemetery the day following, and the burial service he was conducted by Revs. J. C. rs, Bailey and P. F. Crawford. The ad bereaved parents have the sym all pathy of many friends in their ri- hour of sorrow. C. Pickens, R F D 4 u- Mr. Editor : I will try and ,e, give you a few dots from this Iy section. to The health of the people in this e- vicinity in general is very good at present. e' The Sunday School at Oolenoy ed is running along nicely since the - new Professor has taken charge n, of the singing class. ar Mr. V. S. 'Jones, an old Con ar federate soldier left this world ut of forrow when he breathed his >st last on Saturday the 17th inst, ad at about twelve o'clock.' You sall know that the Lord has fixed nan ample time for a man to live n, which is three score and ten (70) years, but this man had lived mover that time. He was over leighty-odd years old and was a 15 true and faithful christian who hie loved the work of the Lord. He .ia is no more; he has passed over mthe river of Life and gone to his Slong eternal home. It is a jour >ney we must all take, so' let us ad be ready and follow him. His ad remains were laid to rest in the go Oolenoy cemetery on last Sun day a large concourse of sorrow ing friends witnessing the last er sad rites. c. Hurrah for the old SENTINEL iJOURNAL.
