I The Reunion Pic Nlo of the Old Veterans at Heath Springs. Thursday was a gala day at j Heath Springs. The occasion was the reunion of the old Con federate soldiers of the county. The attendance was very large, being estimated at from 1,200 to 1,500 persons. The decrepit, tho middle aged and the young, buoyant with life, were all there and it was a day of greatest pleasure to all. Heath Springs and vicinity, proverbial for hospitality, put their best foot foremost for the occasion, and compliments shower i cu upon mem ior tneir grand en: tertaioment of the old veteran^ their families and friends were indeed many. The committee of arrangements, Messrs A P Brown, K B Mackey, H II Hori ton, S W Mobley, VV J Hammond and W T Stover, were untiring in their efforts to make the occasion the grand success that it was. Nothing was left undone by the committee that would have added to the enjoyment of the day. It was conceded by every one present to have boen the most pleasant i day of their lives. The old sol-* diers wee all in the best of humor and happily discussed incident* of the war. The candidates, their fa< >es all wreathed in happy smiles, were meeting old friends and making new ones. The young folks were carrying on j their sweet little tete a totes, and even the children seemed more ! full of life than usual in their romping and playing. It was an ideal day of pleasure. About noon the long table, I which had l>een erected under the 1 hade of the trees, was filled with I the choicest viands and the old veterans, 117 strong, were formed in line by Capt Foster with colors hearer Usher at the head liearing . the handsome banner of the Dixie ! camp U C V, and marched to the table where a gallant charge was made for about 40 mi antes, but they fiiial'y retired without much damage being dono to the heavily ladened table. Tne table was then replenished and the next charge was mudo by the ladies and children, but the greatest damage resulted when the final onslaught was made by tha men and Ixiys. The enemy was over come then, and don't you forget it! You see they had been hold in reserve a good while and were more eager for the fray. The arrangement of the dinner was admirable. After dinner the time was spent just as pleasantly as in the forenoon, and it was with regret when the hour for separation arrived. It was nearly 5 o'clock before any of the pic nickers turned their faces homeward, and tho sun was low in the Western skies t>efors the grounds were entirely deserted. The placo for the next re-union has not yet l?een selected but ye editor can \>e counted on to l>e present when it comes otf. PASTOHZA.

We regret to learn of the heavy , loss which befell our old friend, t Mr W S Horton, who lives near ! Kershaw, in the loss of his barn j and stables, corn and forage and [ a large portion of his wheat and , uai crops, oy lire last Thursday afternoon. The fire originated , from sparks from the engine of the thresher, and everything being ; so dry it was with difficulty that even his residence was saved. Mr Robert Floyd lost two very fine . mules by the fire and also had his thresher badly damaged?the rear ( end of it being burned off. The mules were in the stable when the fire started but were gotten out before the fire reached them and turned loose. It was not known until their charred remains were s found in the debris that they had t run back into the burning build. ' ingQand had been burned to death.
