Pa., has been called by thc Walhalla Lutheran church to preach a trial sermon, looking to a permanent call as pastor of the con gregation. He has answered that he will be here and preach in the Walhalla Lutheran church on thc first Sunday in May. It is probable that he will be called to the pastorate. Col. R. E. Holcombe, a prominent and universally respected citizen of Pickens, died at his home, six miles from Easlcy, Sunday morning at 3.30 o'clock.

He hopes to be able to reach Walhalla Saturday evening, and if so, preaching may be expected Sunday morning as usual. A matter for the immediate considera tion of the railroad authorities or the Town Council is this: Upon the arrival of the passenger train each night, at Walhalla, the staps and platforms of the cars and the passage way along the side of the train becomes at once so crowded with boys and negroes that it is almost impossible for passengers to get out and away from the train. This thing has be come a grievous annoyance and should have some attention from the authori ties.

The confidence that people have in Ayer's Sarsaparilla as a hlood medicine is the legitimate and natural growth ol many years. It has been handed down from parent to child, and is the favorite family medicine in thousands of house holds. Mr. H. C. Thurber, of Madison ville, Tenn., and Mr. F. W. Aldrich, of Bristol, Tenn., have beeu in Walhalla for several weeks. They are stopping at the Nor man Park Hotel, and will remain here indefinitely. They . are gentlemen of 'culture. Mr. G.

Parties desiring to become members of the Walhalla Industrial and Wage Earners Democratic League can do so by calling at the office of IL A. H.

The main objects ot the new order are to take ease during the coming summer months, and not to worry or tret about not having anything to do, for their leading object will be to take ease. Thc membership is already large, but a few more applica tions will be received if put in without delay." We have no doubt this organi sation will be very popular as the season ul vanees. Dr. W. E. A.

DEAR COCKIER : The farmers are get ting on with their work very well in this section. It is a nice time for planting corn. On the tirst Sabbath there was a very nice singing at Pleasant Kidge church. There was a large congregation present. Mr. C. Farber Jones is a great help to Oconee county. He is doing a good busi ness in his store at Tomassee. It seems as if Jeff Perkins is gone dead.

We have found several of these articles at different houses between here and Walhalla, where he had given them for something to eat. We didn't find the articles were missing till Sunday, the 10th instant, and a dilligent search was made for him, but so far he has not been cap tured. He will be easily identified ped dling on second-hand Bibles, hymn books and church property in general; about 6 feet tall, square shoulders, stoutly built, 40 to 45 years old, sandy hair, red |.dish and short, stubby beard and mous tache, long face and high cheek bones; when seen last was wearing a suit of blue overalls, with long, brownish and badly worn overcoat, small soft black hat; ? gave his name as Frank Wilson. Also, he sold some books here from Chauga church. Any one who will capture this tramp ? and robber will be well paid for his trouble. We are having fine weather for farm ing, and the farmers owning the bottom lands along Conneross and Richland creeks have made good usc of the dry season and have about finished planting their low lands. A considerable amount of guano has been put under bottom corn here; so this, in part, accounts for the heavy purchase of fertilizers. The 10th seemed the day set apart for start ing to plant cotton and a number of our farmers began then. The cry here is, "Where can I buy any cotton seed?*' The planting will be cut short on account of no seed. "So mote it be." Mr. W. E. Dendy left us Mr.nday last to make his headquarters at Walhalla and take a course in law under Maj. S. P. Dendy. Prof. Marshal S. Stribling, of Easley, S. C., spent Thursday night last here with his mother and brother on his way to the South Carolina Presbytery. Mar shal is the picture of health and wc never saw him looking stouter. Truly, Easley deals very easily with him. Mr. T. B. Wyley was called to Carnes ville. Ga., on Friday last to attend the burial of his father. Mr. Oilver Wyley. Mr. J. C. Hunnicutt, after a lingering illness, died at his home near Mr. J. J. Ballenger's on the morning of the 10th, and was buried to-day at Return church. Mr. Hunnicutt had about completed his four score years and had been in feeble health for several years. He left a wife and several children, who did everything possible to make his last days painless. 'Tis seldom that a father is more kindly and devotedly cared for than was he by his youugest son, Will. Mr. W. H. Hughs' little son, nenry, has been q?ite sick for the past few days with pneumonia. At this writing he seems to be improving slowly. Messrs. Martin ?fc Bowlden are cutting diingles in a hurry on lands of J. P. Stribling near Richland. There seems to be an unusual amount Df land being clear? d in this part of thc country this spring. Soon first-class tim bered lands will be scarce; 'tis very scat tering now. j. p. >. t< tl ti tl lb I P a; tl ft Oak way Dots. OAKWAY, S. C., April ll. 1803. DEAS COUBIEK: We send you a few lots this week, which may interest some sf your readers. Farm work is being carried on very rapidly. The most of the farmers are lone planting corn and a few are done planting cotton. Mr. W. T. Bearden has three acres of the finest wheat we have seen. Mr. A. Bearden has also a fine crop. Mr. danton Davis, a well-known tra veling agent and machinist, spent a few days with Mr. J. W. Bearden this week. Mr. Davis is a lively young man and receives much attention among the ladies. Weddings are not at all out of season. Mr. Stephen Baldwin and Miss Samantha Herbert were married at the residence of the bride's brother-in-law, Mr. J. B. San ders, Rev. W. B. Justus officiating. Also, on the 0th, Mr. Edgar Thresher and Miss Lily Shaw were united in the holy realms of matrimony, Rev. D. B. Wait officiating. We congratulate the two couples in their j j new relations and wish for them peace, prosperity and happiness. Mrs. Nancy Haley died at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. Matthew Smith, on the Tth. She was in the 67th year of her age. She leaves three children and many relatives to mourn her death. Her remains were interred at the Presbyte rian church at Townville, of which she was a member. Sunday was a pleasant day at Bethel. _Rev. R. W. Seymour preached one of his excellent sermons to a large congrega tion in the morning, after which an in termission was given for dinner, and as there seemed to bc nothing short in that line, all wen soon refreshed and ready for the even;:-.g services. According to an appointment Rev. Dr. Manly, from Seneca, cauie ever and preached on the subject of mhsions. Excellent preaching, sweetmusic, pretty girls and plenty to eat, combined with'th" oleasant day and soft summer breezes, made one of the most enjoyable days we ever witnessed. Miss Fannie Sheldon's school, at this place, is still in a flourishing condition. The decrease has been very light so far. Much success to the COCKIER. Her columns are always filleo with interest ing news. OBSERV?E. A CALL, All the young men of Walhalla are re spectfully solicited to attend a meeting to be held at Reid's Hall next Tuesday night. April 18, at 8j o'clock, to talk over the building of a nice "Fark" on Col lege Hill. Such a park would be an ornament to the town and is actually necessary as a place where residents and visitors may enjoy a few hours' recrea tion apart from the monotonous scenes of the street. . The Walhalla Comedy Company have in reserve a fund towards this purpose, which is available at any time. Now, with this and some aid from the Town Council and the hearty co-opera tion of all the young men in the town, there is no reason why College Hill may not be speedily converted into a garden spot of beauty, in which the whole town would feel much pride. ? We, the undersigned, will give our aid in every reasonable way, and not only this, but manual labor towards the construc tion of the park. Can we not .have com pany?

It wa's a different jour-1 ney she sought. Reaching the head off the dock she threw herself into the river. She was, however, rescued after conside rable strangling. I doa't know how the love affair is getting on since. Thursday night witnessed a great whis key burning here. Eighteen thousand barrels were consumed by the dames. The blue flames leaped forth with fury, and as it ran down the streets burning, shot out from the top of the building r like the fiery tongues of evil spirits, the \ sight was wonderful to behold.

As the Journal ?ubi?shes a talk with him on the same ?ne, covering what he said, it is now re iroduced here, as follows: "Going back to the convention held in it. Louis last fall, Mr. Bowden said that t was not a Third Party convention, but . gathering, in conference, of all labor rganizations, to consider tre political ituation of the country. The fact that liane gentlemen w?*e at that convention ced not necessarily stamn them as Third 'artyites, and so far ax that conference rent, the charge against *i>em af \Vash igton is not true.

Carefully prepared reports show that the cotton acreage Has been increased 20 per cent in Texas and li? per cent in Georgia. The amount of commercial fer tilizer used in the Southeastern cotton States is grenier this year than it has been for several years past. Despite the warn ings of the faithful press, it is evident that the cotton crop this year will be much greater than it was last year. The result will most inevitably be lower prices. The indications, on the other hand, are that there will be a scarcity of grain and bacon in the Weat, and the prices for these products will be higher. lt is, perhaps, too late to reduce the cot ton acreage, but there is still time for farmers to prepare to raise all their pr*> visions at home. The man who'depends on cotton this year to buy his provisions makes a mistake for which he will be sorry next winter.-Columbia Begister. ! Lexington, S.
