Mrs. Crawford Keys, of Audersou, c?u>e ' do?wn Monday, aiid spent a lew days at Mr. ' E. VV. Harper's. ( Mrs. J.H. Latimer, of Abbeville, came up I Tuesday aud remained to tthe last of the ' the wees witt the lamlly oi her brother-la- 1 law, Mr. J. T. Latimer. j{ Wednesuay evening home of our young peo-', Die had quite a jolly ride. They suiried with J' a four-horse te<un t? a wagon. Just alter | starting, oue of the team kicked out 01 Its I trappings, and was left at home, tjulte sensl- j ble, 1 would have kicked out too? tbe party j drove to Harper's Ferry and back that night. j Mr. and Mis. T. Baker left Thursday morn- J lDg for Washington, D. C.t where they Willi stay for some time with their children, i Messrs. Jas. M. and O. L. Baker. Mr. and Mrs. Mouiton Speer, of Atlanta,: reached here Wednesday, on a visit to their | kinsman, Dr. A. J. Speer and family aud other | relatives. . j We congratulate Dr. J. B. Moseley, aud all who are interested in our postal affairs, In I this place, that mere will oe no change In ; our postmaster. Tuesday evening a small crowd, consisting of Messrs. J. T. Gassaway, J. H. Lawrence, 01 Central; E. F. Looper. Pickens; and George Darby, Pendleton, S. C.,came In, in search ol j good fox-hunting grouuds. They were well prepared lor a good time, haviug five horses/ a wagon containing a well-appointed camp-, lng outfit, and eight or ten hounds. They expected to locale a lew miles below here. By tbe way,Senator McCaiia has a pretty j large body ol land wired in, In which he j keeps stock of different kinds. Last year i some fox-hunters entered tiie pasture, their I dogs stampeded his flock of sheep, number-j lng tnlrty-flve or forty, which rau off, and be I has never since heard of them. Sometimes! there 1b enough, In prospective, in such j snort, to induce men to travel many miles; In search of It, but sometimes mere is! not much fun to those near wuere these huu ters make their headquarters. Last week Messrs. Allen Tennent moved ' their bachelor sleeping quarters Irom the rear end of their store to an upper room ou | the opposite side of main street, over the store of J. C. Tnomas. Monday evening Hev. H. C. Fennel, Rev. E. I W.Mason, Dr. B. A. Henry, Mr. .las. Boles, | aua peruaps oiuers, tveut u? oatauuttu ivner to lake a flr-li. When they came back tbe next aay tbey reported a catch of about 150 pounds. Thai, ot course, was pretty hard to swallow, but the word ol two preachers and a doctor could not be, by worn or look, disputed. This leuiarkable statement was soon j explained. They put out several trot-lines with hooks attached, and In tishing them the next morniug a dead negro was louud on one of the hocks, which had in some way entered one ol his heels. A siring was tied around one of the mun's arms ana ihe body was floated to the Georgia bank of tbe river, and the authorities of lhat State were noti fled. This was done, because our party had i learned lhat on the Friday before, a colored) inan, living in Georgia, had been drowned a j mileor two above wnere this body was found. Frof.
