The week before last a little child of M Jink Parneil was burned to death. Last Wednesday Mr. J. M. Huckabee an Miss Annie Hawthorn went to Anders >n. Wednesday night we bed a show, and show it was. As it was not tbls writer' pleasure? lo attend be can only speak of I from hearsay. It consisted of one white mar (Furgason), and one colored man, a piece < burnt cork with which ibe white man wa partly blackened, and a little lint cotto which the name white man set on fire an pretended to xwallow, wblcb constituted a far as is known the outfit, and of course tb spectators were highly delighted with the fu afforded. At the close of the faroe, the pre prletor, thinking no doubt that his audlenc aid not relish the swindle, announced tbi some of the company and its best actors wet to have come up from Calhoun Falls that ev< nlng, but as tbey did not ooroe there would b a free and better sbow the next night, be somehow tbey forgot the engHgement an skipped during tne nlgbt, leaving some < our citizens somewhat mourning their depai ture. Their expenses were abont fourdollai and their receipts twodollirs and a quarter. Mr. Marlon Mattison, of Anderson, repn sentlng the New York Mutual Insurant Company, was In town Thursday. Mr. C. T.

More of this last late LuBt Friday week ago tbe undersigned, b better half, and their daughter, Miss Lllll left by the dirt road for Fort Hill.

AUCU TT V VVQWM ?w a part of tbe dispensary, or blind tigers, coul ot be determined which, and from there o many patrouizers were met and In the clt still more friends were seen. We spent tb night very pleasantly with tbe family of M W. B. Mugruder. The next morning an earl tart gave us an early arrival at the plac around which, a great deal of luterei throughout the State centres. We received a warm welcome at the prove blally hospitable home of Prof. J. F.C.DuPr at which we spent several very enjoyab days. We of course took In a great deal tbi was very pleasing to us. Much has been sal and written but the half has not been toll Professors Newman and PuPre, the one, i charge ol the agricultural, tbe other tbe ho ticultural department have each In tbelr pa tloular spheres done wonderlul things. I two years they have cleared original forest and tuken up lands washed into gullle whloh they have terraced, and by a propi preparation and cultivation, together with liberal and judicious application of fertilize have caused them to bring forth bountlfi crops. Tbe boundaries of the Clemson Cc lege lands can at a glance be defined by tl very percepuoie eviueuces ui aupcuui ma agement. Although much of tbe lands are hilly, jthere are through them miles of nicely grade drive ways, lu every dlrectloo,giving easy a cess to them, also giving to visitors so desl lng, a full view of all parts of the grounds. We leurned that In tbe grading of one these roads, tbe old tort, from which the plai takes Its name, was discovered. It had bee covered up and worked over lor years, A _ that remains of it Is a shallow excavatl X walled up with brick. It now has buta rou plank shelter over It.

Andn Pickens, son of the above named, and his w repose in the same brick enclosure. G< Pickens was burled there In 1817. There are doubt graves there of a much earlier date, = many ot them have no marks to show wh they were made. There Is an oral tradition connected wl one of the older graves, which is denied some, yet known to be partly true by the o er citizen*. It 18 mis: xears ag ?ei-uovei or Perry RDd a man by the name of Byna fought a duel on an Island In the river, a f< miles fioin this graveyard. The lust nam was killed, bis remains were brought to tl to place after Highland burled.

So much for that. It Is needless to say that we were very i vorably Impressed by all that we saw ai beard. What has been done there In tv years Is an earnest of IU possibilities. In co nection with the usual college currlcului dally lessons In practical and experiment farming and gardening, as well as many ot etr er things, are being given, bo that a boy gra aatlng ibere Is fitted for any pursuit lu life.
