A Terrible Death-Watch.
Scenes in the President's Chamber Saturday
Night.
Special to the New Yor k Times.
WASHI-NGTON, July 3.-Never sinc
the 14th of April, 1865, when th'
citizens of the entire Nation were
looking fsi the momentary death o:
the martyre. Lincoln, has the Whit,
House been the scene of such a terri
ble death-watch as it Ras last night
Wbether the President lives or dies.
the night of the 2nd of July will for
ever mark an era in the history of the
Executive Mausi"',. -md the incidents
of that night, when the life of Presi
dent Garfield hung trembling in the
balance, will be read with interest
so long as th, English language is
read or spoken. The full particular,
of that night of anxious watching and
fearful forebodings will probably never
be written. The actors in the sceue
were too busy and too much excited
by their fears to remember half of the
little incidents which go to make up
the. tragic story ; but some dim pie
tures of the terrible life drama which
was enacted in the President's cham
ber, while the whole world was await
ing with.breathless anxiety its culmi
nation, may be drawn at this time,
while the actors of it still hold its
prominent features fresh in their
memory. The Times' correspondent
has seen and conversed with most of
.of the ladies and gentlemen who passed
the night in the White House, hoping
and fearing alternately for the safety
of the life of the Chief Executive of a
nation, and the stories which they re
late serve to make a graphic picture of
a scene which all Americans will look
opon with intense interest, and serve
still more forcibly to depict the char.
acter of President Garfield , and to
place him before the world as a hus
band and father as he never could
have been known but for the attempt
made upon his life yesterday by the
assassin, Guiteau.
From the time of the shooting in
the Baltimore and Potomac depot
yesterday morning until very nearly
midnight, but little, if any, hopes of
saving the President's life were en
tertained by the physicians who at
tended him. It is safe to say that
but for the remarkably abstemious
course of life which he had pursued
from boyhood up he never wot;d have
rallied from the shock. His one
thought, when it became possible for
him to think calmly at all after being
remove to his chamber in the Execu
tive Mansion, was for his wife and
children. He feared the effect of the
terrible news upon Mrs. Garfield,
and he was anxious to have her and
their dxughter Mollie with him, that
he might reassure them, if possible,
and look upon them for the last time
if it was decreed that he should die.
He was very weak at this time, and
to all appearances sinking fast. He
was told by Mrs. James, wife of the
Postmaster-G eneral, and Mrs. Hunt,
who were doing all that sympathetic
women could do to make him com
fortable, that Mrs. Garfield would
be with him by 6 o'clock. Every
moment seemed an age to the fast
sinking father and husband. He
* turned restlessly in his bed and asked
the time of dycontinually. It was
evident that his anxiety to meet Mrs.
Garfield was aggravating the effect of
the wounds which he had received,
but nothing could be done. Six
o'clock came, and with it, instead of
Mrs. Garfield, the news that the en
gine of her train had broken down 17
miles outside of Washington. This
L'ews was carefully kept from the
-- suffering Pesident, and a fresh e-ngine
started off to take the place of the
disabled one. It brought Mrs. Gar
field, Mollie Garfield, Gen. Swain,
arnd Mrs. Rockwell to the the city, at
the rate of 60 miles an hour, and at
6.50 the party drove up to the pri
vate entrance in the rear of the
White Honse.
Here the almost heart-broken wife
was met by her son, James A. Garfield,
Jr., Mr. and Mrs. James and Attor
ney-General MacVeagb. She placed
her hands in those of Mrs. JTames and
directing a piercing inquiry into
her eyes, exclaimed interrogatively:
'Well ?' 'Oh, everything is going on
beautifully,' said Mrs. James in re
ply, 'only he mnst not be excited,
You must be very calm when you
meet him.' Mrs. Garfield had nerved
herself for the ordeal andi she answered
simply, but with gret firmness :'I
can do it.' The party then went sad
ly up the stairs, young James A. Gar
field with his arm about his mother's
waist. Arrived in the library, every.
body but Mrs. Garfield paused, and
the doctors withdrew with bowed
hends from the President's chamber.
Mrs. Garfield passed quickly in, and
the door closed. Of that solemn
meeting between husband and wife no
record will ever be given. The two
were alone together, without witnesses
At the end of about fifteen minutes
the door opened, and Mrs. Garfield
came slowly out. There were no tears
in her eyes, and she walked with a
tirm step and took her seat in the
library. She was very brave and bore
up nobly under the great blow which
had fallen upon her. As she left the
room Mrs. James passed in. The
President was smiling and he beckoned
with his finger to the lady to approach.
She leaned over the President and he
said: 'Have you met Crete:' Mrs.
Garfield's Christian name is Lueria,
and Crete is the pet name by which
the Presdent always speaks of her.
'Yes, I hav-e met her,' said Mrs.
J,ames. 'And how does she act ; how
did she bear it ?' was the next eager
question. 'She bore it like the true
wife of a true soldier,' answered Mrs.
James.- 'Ah, the dear little woma-n.'
exeise~d the President, 'I would
rather die than this should cause a
relapse to her.
Soon after Miss Mollie entered the
room. She, too, was very brave, and
forced herself to assa'ne a calmness
which she could not feel. Adyancing
steadily toward her father as he lay
be,, she ;aid : Oh, papa. I'm so gla
to get. back to you. but I':- : sorry to
sev you in this way.' Then she
kiwsed him, and the Presidont. Put
tin_- his arm around her neck, ex
claim:ed : -Mollie, yuu're a brave.
good littie girl ' 'Vell. 1'n not go
ing to taik with you now,' said the
stout-hearted little girl, as she tender
ly removed his arm from her neck ;
-wait till you get well,' and with these
parting words she kissed him again
and turned and walked froto the room,
followed by a beaming smile from the
President.
From the moment of Mrs: Carfield's
visit to him the President sc.med to
gain in strength and spirits, a id if he
recovers the doctors say that i will be
due greatly to the presence vf his de.
Voted wife. After Mollie had left
him he turned over, and with one
hand clasped firmly in one of Mrs.
James's and his head resting upon
her other baud, he fell into a gentle
sleep. In half an hour, however, he
awoke and complained of a pain in his
feet. It did not last long, and he
dozed off again, still holding the hand
of Mrs. James. This time he slept a
little over half an hour, and when he
awoke -he said to Mrs. James : ;Do
you know where Mrs. Garfield is
now ?' 'Oh, yes,' Mrs. James an
swered, :she is close by, watching and
praying for her husband.' He looked
up to the lady with an anxious face,
and said : 'I want her to go to bed.
Will you tell her that I say if she
will undress and go to bed I will turn
right over and I feel sure that when I
know she is in bed I can go to sleep
and sleep all night. Tell her,' he
exclaimed with sndden energy, 'that
[mill sleep all night if she will only
do what 1 ask.' Mrs. James con
veved the message to Mrs. Garfield,
who said to her at once : 'Go back and
tell him that I am undressing.' She
returned with the answer, and the
President turned over on his right
side and dropped into a quiet sleep
almost instantly.
Strange Coincidences.
Augusta Chronicle & Constitutionalist.
That such a villain as Guiteau
and we take his father's evidence for
the villainy-should have been born
into the same world with such a gra
cious man as Mr. Garfield is suffi
ciently remarkable. But that the
path of such a fiend should cross the
noble orbit of the President, and with
such fatal significance, is a fact that
no earthly lore may satisfactorily ex
plain. There would seem to bein the
lives of some men the most startling
conjunctions. History is full of such
marvels. The most memorable need
not be evoked, for they rise up in
the mind of the most ignorant. ~ Tra
ditiou is replete with examples. The
Bible fairly bristles with them. Every
ancient or modern history taught in
the schools makes them proverbial.
We find examples of greater or less
significance in the ordinary walks of
Ilife. Nothing is so common and
nothing so startling as the strange in
fluence one individual has upon the
destiny of another. Often this fatal
collision of mortals is unexpected and
brought about, as in the Washington
tragedy, by accidental causes, or what,
in our ignorance, we are compelled to
regard as such. It would be easy for
us. to fill this and other pages with
illustration, but refrain from doing
what may be a superfious thing. One
remakable incident bearing upon this
proposition may be pardonably men
tioned, because, perhaps, it is not gen
erally known. When school boys in
Pranee, a French lad named Lamori
ciere always accused an Italian urchin
named Cialdini of possessing the evil
eye, so far as he was concerned. In
numberless cases the Italian discom
fited the French boy, and, in many
respects, without deliberately intend
ing it. Th ey left school and went in
to the world, their pathe diverging
widely. Both became soldiers, and
both became famous. It is supposed
that they met, for the first time since
college days, on an Italian steamer.
INo sooner did the Frenchman per
ceive the Italian than he left the boat
hurriedly and in distress, excusing
himself for his abrupt departure by
stating that the evil eye of the Italian
compelled him to do so. Years
passed. The Frenchman had become a
hero of many battles, and then, in a
burst of zeal, offered his sword to the
Pope, who was beginning to be envel
oped by armed enemies as well as pri
vate foes. Against the Pope's Gen
eral marched Cialdini, his evil genius,
and, as if to carry out dramatically
the presage of youth, the French
officer, conquered and mortified, sur
rendered to the adversary of his col
lege time a sword that was dearer to
him than life. From that time forth
Lamoriciere's star sank beneath the
zenith as his old enemy's planet rose,
whether for good or evil, upon the
ruin of another's hopes.
This is a curious example of fore
knowledge of disaster, through an un
friendly interposition. It is very
rare. In the cases of Mr. Lincoln
and Mr. Garfield, there is generally
small warning, if any, of when and by
whom the blow shall be delivered.

Some Iicidents of the Attempt
ed Assassination.
President Garfield's fortitude
and bravery under his severe afflic
tions have been heroic. Shortly
after he was shot he asked the Doc
tors what they thought of his con
dition. One of them replied, "You
have a chance for recovery." "Then,'
said the President, "I'll take that
chance." It is said that his strong
will and cheerfulness have dont
much towards bringing him
through.
If the President had not been a
man of regular habits and strong
constitution he never could have
survived: he would not have ral
lied from the fir.t shock.
Mrs. Garfield has borne hersrli
bravely through the trying ordeal.
Though just recovering from a long
and severe -illness she has done a
great deal by her quiet cheerfulness
and self control to encourage her
husband and keep him in a hopeful
frame of mind. Had she given
way to her grief the effect on her
husband might have been very se
rious.
Amid all the sadness and horror
attending the shooting of the Pres.
ident there is one comforting re
flection : the occurrence has created
a bond of sympathy and fraternal
feeling between all sections of the
country that nothing else could
have done.
Another good that may flow from
this evil is, that it is a solemn warn
ing against the spoils system-the
bitter contest for offices. There
seems little doubt that this dread
ful calamity was the natural out.
come of the bitter, partisan feelinga
engendered by the war on the ad.
ministration. This miserable wretct
Guiteau, unbalanced in mind, and
frenzied by refusal of office, im
agined he was doing the country a
service by removing the President
out of the way and thus bringing in
to power Arthur, Conkling and that
faction. If Conkling and his parti.
sans were in the line of duty in
their fight against the administra
tion then they are entirely blame.
less ; but if their opposition to the
administration was simply a fight
for place, as we believe it was, then
they are, in some degree, responsi~
ble for the result, though no fair
minded man will accuse them of in.
tending, or even desiring, such an
occurrence as has happened.
When President Lincoln was as
sassinated by a Southern man the
enemies of the South characterized
the act as the embodied spirit of
slavery and rebellion, and the
South was held responsible for the
crime. When the attempt was
made to assassinate President Gar
field enemies of the Conkling,
Grant and Arthur faction charged
them with being responsible for
the crime. The charge evas natu
ral in both instances, but in both
unjust. Booth did not represent
the South, any more than Guiteau
represents Conkling and his fac
tion. There is this difference be
tween the two cases : The South
had nothing to gain by the assassi
nation of Lincoln ; Conkling aud
his crowd had everything, political
ly, to gain by Gargeld's assassina
tion. The Southern people have
felt the gross injustice done them
in holding them responsible for
Booth's crime: they should there
fore be very slow to charge Gui
teau's crime upon the anti-Adminis
tration faction without any evi
dence ; and there is certainly none
so far.
The New York Methodist says:
"However wve ma~y glaze it over,
this assassination is a fruit of our
strife over the miserable spoils of
office."
"This is the shame of it, the in
delible shame of it, that our politi
al animosities over dirty and dis
onorable gains of office have armed
an unbalanced man to do a deed of
horror."
The Manchester Guardian, one
of the leading papers of England,
says:
"By reforming their system of
patronage the Americans will best
show their sorrow for Mr. Garfield's
death, or their thankfulness for his
recoverv."
It is known that Guiteau was a
constant reader of the stalwart
newspapers, and their editorials
convinced him that Garfield ought
to be Iut out of the way.
Ex Pres. Jeff. Davis says: "I
sincerely trust the President may
recover, and that the startling
event will arouse the people to the
consideration of a remedy for the
demoralization which a wild hunt
after office is creating."
The International Cotton Ex
posit-ion, Atlanta, Ga.
The following circular has been
issued:
To INTENDLNG ExHIBToRS: I have
the pleasure of announcing that the
financial success of this great inter
national enterprise is assured be
yond a doubt by the liberal sub
scriptions that have been made to
its stock, by the large number of
actual entries already made, and by
the certainty of an immense throng
of visitors. On my return from an
extensive trip through the North
and West, these facts were laid be
fore the Executive Committee at its
regular meeting, held June 28th,
when it was unanimously voted, to
rescind that part of the rule rela
ting to exhibits which required pay
ment for every square foot of floor
space occupied, and to make the
entry fee of $25.00 the only charge
against them.
Under this decision, every mer
chant, mechanic or manufacturer in
the civilized world can enter his
wares for exhibition, and secure the
necessary floor space, by sending
his furmal application n ddressed to
THE INTENATIONAL CoTTON ExposI
TION, accompanied with his check
for the entry fee of $25.00, in ac
cordance with the following amend
ed rules herewith :
RrULE 4. An entrance feeof $25.00
(except for products of the soil,
works of art or educational exhib
its,) will be charged for all exhibits.
There will be no charge for floor
space.
RULE 5.-The entrance fee must
in each case accompany the appli
cation for epace.
RULE 6.-Merchants and manu
facturers' agents desiring to make
a collective exhibit of the goods
they handle in their own name,
may do so upon payment of one
entry fee; and the award will be to
the person making such exhibit.

Director-General.

The railroads have agreed to
transport all articles intended for
exhibition free of charge.
The Commissioner of Agriculture
of this State is manifesting great
interest in the Exposition ; he
urges the citizens of the State to
send exhibits of manufactures, farm
products, minerals, and everything
else that would tend to set before
the world the resources of the
State. And he advises all who can
to attend, for the benefits that they
would derive from witnessing what
-will be on exhibition.
The Exposition will be opened
the 5th of October, and will remain
open till the 31st of December.
The New York Chamber of Com
merce has offered to Mrs. Garfield
8250,000 as a token of their esteem,
and as a means of relieving the
mind of the President from any
anxiety as to the future of his fami
ly. It has been described as a no
ble and generous act, and perhaps
correctly so. Had the Chamber of
Commerce waited until the Presi
dent's death* (in case he does die)
then the act would certainly have
been both noble and generous ; but
a gift to the wife of the President
while he is living is like a gift to
him, and when made by men whose,
business interests may be affected
by Executive favor or disfavor,
there is room for suspecting inter
ested motives. We cannot say that
any such motives actuated the giv
ers in this case. It would be bet-.
ter, however, that Mrs. Garfield
decline the gift with thanks. If
the President survive she will not
need it ; if he die and the offer is
then made she could accept it with
out impropriety.
The New York Legislature is

FOR TUE HERALD.
Our Washington Letter.
'WASHINGTON, I). C.,
July 6, 1881.
Two days ago we at Washington
were contemplating the disadvantages
which a fatal result to Guitean's infa
mous act would produce. To-day we
look forward to advantages to arise
from the President's recovery, and, in
directly, from the attempt on his life.
T1here is infinite cordiality in the tele
grams and other messages which come
here from all parts of the land. The
country is united as it never was before.
Much of this, and much more of like
good will follow in the future from the
fact that the President and the Vice
President-one face to face with death
and the other with a great and unex
pected responsibility-have te most
cordial relations now in place of the
constraiped if not unfriendly feeling of
a few days ago. Enmity, contention,
distrust-all have ceased. If, happily,
the Preside3nt shall survive, he will
hardly have hereafter during his term
a thought but that his duty is to the
people of the whole country, and with
out regard to party. If, on the contra
ry, the Vice-President shall become the
President he will not be the Arthur who
was a week ago intriguing against the
President's wishes in New York, and
who seemed to think his duty done only
when he served Senator Conkling.
Grievous as the offense of Guiteau was,
and deplorable as its results will be in
s'o,ne respects, it has yet not been with
out good effects which will be long en
dluring if not permanent.
There is a suggestion, made by an
excellent Republican here-an admin
istration man-which is gaining sup
port. It is that the New York Legisla
ture, whose members sem incapable of
acting upon the Senatorial question
with any degree of calmness, shall ad
journ at once, and permit the factional
strife on the subject now before it to be
forgotten. It has been said that such
action would be turning the State over
to the Democratic party. That, how
ever, whether it would be a misfortune
or not, is by no means so unlikely a re
suit as it seemed a week or a month
ago.
The opinion, so prevalent a few days
since, that Guiteau was insane, has not
now nearly so many supporters as it
had. That he does not realize the en
ormity of his offence, and is incapable
of doing so. is certain, but the theory of1
his actual insanity loses currency daily
in view of the events of his past life.

July 6th, 1881.
In accordance with titne-honored
usage we are enjoying a short sumner
flitting, destination, as in tiwes past,
Glenn Springs, and by happy chance
lighted Friday night of the day of
leaving in the lively town of Union,
into the hospitable armb of the Parker
family. It came about in this way.
Two trains are advertised to run on
the Spartanburg road so as to connect
with the up and down C. & G., and
so they do. The morning line is hot
an accommodation train, but puts the
the passenger into Spartanburg in
quick time, the other is and gets in
about the time the passenger is ready
to vote
SLOW TRAINS A HUMBUG.
There were but four unfortunates, self
and better half, Capt. Nelson, commer
cial traveler, and a darkey. The three
first named smelt the mouse early,
when the conductor presented a little
blank book with printed heading for
inspection. It read somehow thus:
no passenger allowed to ride on this
train without signing away his right
to demand damage of the road in case
his neck should be broken, and that
the conductor must enforce the re
quirement. The* Captain and self
signed the death warrant under pro
test, for the sake of peace, with the
mental reservation that if we were
killed to sue for $100,000 each, and
reaching Union without broken bones
at 8.30, got off. The,
DARKEY FOUND IT OUT
in a different manner when the con
ductor demanded his fare. "Why,"
said he, "I been told dis was a 'com
modation train, wid"nothin' to* pay."
The poor fellow was unecived, .the
callous conductor taking his dollar
and a quarter without the slightest
compunction. It was a pleasant change
from a slow coach, dimly lighted, to a
comfortable hotel, a good supper and
surrounded by pleasant friends. So
much had to be said that when bed
was sought the time was somewhere
in the "wee sma' hours." The sleep
which followed required no rocking,
the bed was all that could be asked
for, and more than is looked for in the
average hotel. Morning cool, bracing,
a capital breakfast, and then by invi
tation of Mr. Parker, Sr., we were
treated to a
DELIGHTFUL EIDE
through town and suburbs, behind a
spanking pair of chestnuts. The ride
was highly enjoyed, Miss Kate adding
much to it by her lively sallies. Union
is well worth viewing, with its many
pretty cottaiges and fine mansions;
the people are good looking too, and
have a fsesh, hearty appearance, indi
eating that the atmosphere and water
are good. Jack Jones is there, wait
ing on the ladies in a first class dry
goods store, and is doing well-and
whispered in our ear that
"HE IS A GOOD) BOY''
now; anybody must be good who is
thrown much into contact with the
ladies. Early in the day we concluded
to make the balance of the journey
overland from Union, only 16 miles,
instead of another ride by rail and 12
by hack from Spartanburg. This was
another happy idea, and much the
pleasanter way of the two, as by it we
had a charming morning with our
friends and another first rate meal at
the Parker House. Leaving at 2
o'clock, Glenn's was reached at 5.30,
ahead of the regular backs from the
other point. We cannot conclude our
pleasant experience of Union without
a word or two for the
PARKER HOUSE,
and for the benefit particularly of, the
traveling public, who do not know the
family as well as the people of New
berry, nor how well kept their excel
lent house is. Mr. P. is a caterer of
long experience, while Mrs. P. cannot
be excelled in her management or
keeping ; everything is as bright as a
new trade dollar and clean, while the
ooking is unexceptional. Our people
at home know this all to be true to
the letter. We advise parties going
to Glenn's to stop at Union, particu
arly if they come down the road and
bake the accomodation.
AT GLENN'S ONCE MORE.
For years we have been making
egular annual visits to Glenn's-only
issing the last sumer-and on ap
yroaching on this occasion pleasant
issciations were recalled of times
ast, of the many friends made here,4
nd of the many who have been re
tored to health by its healing waters.
[he year the valuable-properties of
he water were discovered we have not
~nquired, but it dates back to where
he memory of men at present living
unneth not back; suffice it it was die-. a
overed by the Indians. The present
die was built in 1838, by a company I
omposed of Dr. Moore, Dr. Win
.i. , J B n R Sm, Wur. Pen:
)avid Caldw-ll, Robt. Moorman, Dr.- I
ran Lew, Dr. 0. B Trvi.' Dr

WATER WAS HELD.
it was kept by Dr. Moore and Dr.
Win,Rmith in 1840, and in 1841 by
David Caldwell and Robt. Moornian
at the close of that season it was sold
by the Sheriff, bringing $15,000. Dr.
Vasn Lew became the purchaser, who
transferred the property to J. B.
Gleun, by whom a new company was
furmed. In 1842 Mr. John C. Zim
mernian took charge and by good
management made a bnug fortune.
Some years later it was bought by this
gentlewan; the whole period embraced
in his experience being 10 years, Mr.
J. C. Janney managing it for h.im a
part of the time. In 1853 the Revs.
Arthur and McCullough, Episcopal
ministers, bought it and establislied a
High Schh(el: th;s pr.oving unsuccess
ful, after one year's tria., it was again
opened as a hotel by Thor. Steen and
run for two years. Mr. A. W. T.
Simmons, of Newberry, then beoame
the purchaser, and after an experience
of two years transferred his interest to
W. C. Anderson, an Englishmaa, with
whose eccentric habits as a host many
of our readers are acquainted.
This period of the Hotel history brings
it down to the time of our acquaint
aree. Mr. Anderson kept it through
the war aqd for 10 years, making
only enough to keep
BODY AND SOUL TOGETHER,
and so used had he become by this
time to the bard blows of fickle for
tune, that when times began to change
he would not accept it, preferrirg to
fight it out on the same line. One of
his oddities was a table which so
oommodated eighteen persons, the
nineteenth applicant being invariably
refused admission. Of course he
never paid the purchase money and
the property then came into the hands
of Geo. D. Smith and Dickson Fow
ler, and after a short while into sole
possession of the latter who made
money. In 1874 Dr. J. W. Simpson
-now deceased-and J. Wistar Simp
sou, his son, bought the property from
Fowler, and it has been run success
fully since then to the present time,
every succeeding year adding to its
popularity and restoring it to its
ANCIENT PRESTIGE.
We trust that this account has not
wearied the reader ; if it has, the best
apology which can be offered is tat
we did not know that Glenn's had so
much history when we commenced to
write it up. The facts may be mixed,
but in the main are corrteet. A fair
complement of visitors are already
here, widows, wives and maids pre
dominating, with the usual number of
infants and little folks. The infants
under the soothing effects of the water,
it is pleasant to say,
.DO NOT CRY
except when hungry, and that is rare,
for the abundant good fare furnished
by our landlord insures a bountiful
supply of lacteal nourishment. The
widows are charming, as they always
are-the writer has a weakness on this
point-while the maids and misses
are all that fancy can paint them.
One from Newberry has already
taken captive an old widower from the
pine regions of Orangeburg-his sighs
make night hideous, and the quantity
of water he inibibes in the vain effort
to drown his passion and smother the
fire which
CONSUMES HIS GIZZARD
is fearful. The doctor thinks his case
one of enlarged liver, but he does not.
and continues to sigh. All the time
the young lady scatters her smiles
right and left. Major J. P. K. is
much missed, but we have the conso
lation that sleepers have no fear of
being disturbed in their morning
slumbers. The friends of Miss Emma
L. will be gratified to learn that she
is improving very rapidly, and that
by her agreeable manners and general
amiable qualities has made herself a
universal favorite-we feel under many
Dbligations to her for kind attentions.
Every day adds to our numnber
and soon the building will be full.
Come on then, friends, come before
the-rooms are all taken, come if you
are sick and be healed. We regret to
say that Mr. Wistar Simpson has been
juite sick for several days and for
several days the guests have been de
prived of the pleasure of his company
-he is convalescent at this writing.
We can not omit mention of an old
riend, well known in Newberry, Mrs.
Bobo, who lives at the crossing, with
vhom we had the pleasure of dining
n Tuesday last. Her house is full
Lnd is as well kept as of old. Mr. e
nd Mrs. Goree are here, but leave in
he morning. The yuung ladies are
barming as ever.
