-The school entertainment f
the ademuy last Friday nigI
was a great-success. We ai
afraid to specialize for all acte

ran, Miss Irwin as an Iris
maid and Miss Hutchison as a
ld lady. Then, on the othE
hand, we must say that W.J
Bolt, Joe Johnson, Bruce Bogg
Wyatt Jennings and the MissE
I'aylor, Cogburn, Irwin, Mrs
Swittenburg-in fact every on
connected with the play-acte
their parts to 'perfection. Th
entertainment was good and
showed that there is quite a k
of histrionic talent going t
waste in this town. We woul
suggest to these young peop
that they form a Dramatic Clu
and regale the people of Picker
and vicinity with periodical er
ertainments. They could giv
a better evening's entainmer
than most of the lycem course:

The Lecture at the Presbyt
ian church last night was w
attended and very interesti
and instructive. 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

to men, as she dosnt go n

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

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.

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. Long may she wave
ed and gladden our homes with her
it weekly visits. Correspondents,
at all of you write more frequently
ad and let us all help the editor to
eimake our paper brighter and
