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.

I Mr. W. 8 Horton looses II In Ham
and Stables?Two Fine Mules
Burned.
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.
' $1,000 will not cover the 1 ss of
" Messrs Horton and Floyd and
i neither of them, so far as we have
j been able to learn, had a dollar's
1 worth of insurance.

' Dear Sir:?Truth will prevail;
many people doubt the Statements

j but when they see how it covers
and wears, they are prevailed up.
on to buy it, and about 10 years
f afterward, come back for more.
s The old paint is still in good eonj
dition; but they want to change
t the colors on the house. Thin
r paints are not in favor because
they are ^ linseed oil, and nobody
.. wants to pay a paint price for a
j lot of linseed oil. White lead alr
ways chalks and admits moisture
% to the wood. L & M Paint is
j non-challiable, and being semipaste,
requires the addition of a
large quantity of linseed oil, which
^ reduces its actual cost to the
I minimum.

Yours sincerely,
