r DEATH Of GBPT. WILLIAM PERRY. ONE OF WALHALLA'? OLDEST CITIZENS- | P03TMA3TER UNDER ARTHUR. 9 Capt William Perry died at. bis resi dence in Walhalla on Tuesday, 25th in stant, at ll a. m., after a lingering illness from the infirmities of age. He wac born at Patterson, NeW Jersey, on March 20, 1810, his parents being James and Ellen Walker Perry. His youth was speut in that city, and at the age of elgh Uou year* he came to Virginia, wbere hs reeMed for several years, engined in the i manufacturing business. On June 22,1845, he waa happily mar ried to Miss Margaret MoCarty, of Alex andria, Va. A few years before the war they removed to South Carolina and lived for some time at Vaucluse, Aiken county, where he was in charge of a ootton mill. At different times Capt Perry was en gaged in the manufacture of ootton gooda I at Vaucluse, Bateaville, Reedy River and j Pendleton in this State. About twenty five years ago he removed to Walhalla I with his family and has resided here ever | since. , He served one term of four years as j postmaster of Walhalla under the admin istration of President Arthur. Mrs. Perry died here ten years ago. He leaves surviving their eleven ohildren, namely : Mrs. E. O. Roberts, of Chatta nooga, Tenn. ; Mrs. J. W. Keys, Char lotte, N. C.; Mrs. S. K. Dondy, Walhalla; William G. Perry, Greenville; Walter J. Perry, Spartanburg; Charles W. Perry, Knoxville, Tenn. ; Mrs. Kate P. Lewis, Walhalla; J. Addison Perry, Broxten, Ga. ; Louis E. Perry, Asheville, N. C. ; George D. Perry, Silver City, N. C., and Miss Carrie Perry, of Walhalla. In their bereavement they have the sincere sym pathy of many frionds in this and other States. His remains will be buried this (Wed nesday) afternoon at six o'clock in West view cemetery beside his wife. The fun eral services will be conducted at the I residence by Rev. J. C. Yongue. In the death of Captain Perry we lose I one of oldest residents of the county. In former days he was a successful manu facturer and was among the pioneer cot ton mill men of South Carolina. After retiring from business, he located in Walhalla, where bis latter years were spent in a quiet home with his daughters, Mrs. Lewis and Miss Carrie Perry, who were devoted in their attention to bis every need. His long life of more than four score ?ears was one of great usefulness. D?r rn; the days of mature manhood he gave his entire attention to the oouduot of I cotton manufacture. In this work he| spent and was spent; and to suoh cour ageous pioneer spirits the manufacturing South to-day owes a debt of lasting grati tude. They belonged to the former gen eration, but they blazed out the way in whioh so many since have followed. In domestic life Capt Perry was a de voted husband and affectionate father. He was greatly blessed in his children? | and at the ripe old age of over eighty-1 seven years, ne leaves eleven ohildren, several grandchildren and greatgrand children surviving. To them he has left the record of a life well speut, and the precious legacy of a good name. A Largs Family ol Cabbago Snakes. j Frank Heaton, of the Fall Creek sec tion, left at The Courier office last Thurs day a bottle of cabbage snakes-mother and children-numbering upwards of 100. Mr. Heaton is a miller by occupation and several days ago a patron presented him with a head of oabbage for dinner. He laid it do'.rn on the mill house floor, andina short while happened' to be sit ting near tho oabbage. He heard some thing "outtin1 tho greens" and waited for further developments. In a fow min utes a cabbago snake, about thirteeu in ches long, Hipped itself out on the floor. Ho proourod a fruit jar and placad some water in it and then put in tho "snake-' and set it aside. In a short while he looked at the jar, and, to his surprise, he found it about one-sixth full of the snakeB. He had a small bottle, and tranBfeired the mother "serpent" to it, with, as said before, about 100 of her offspring. He could not get over half the ohildren in the bottlo and threw the remaindor in the ereok. The bottle of oabbage snakes has been placed in The Courier museum, and oan bo seen any day from 8 a. m. to 0 p. m. without charge. Chance for an Oconee Girl.

The beautiful and spacious country home of Major and Mrs. Wm. J. Strib ling was the sceme of much gayety on Friday evening last, the occasion being an entertainment given by the Misses Stribling In honor of their fair guests and handsome beaux, Miss Nance, of Due West; the Misses Stribling, of Westmin ster, and Allen Watson, of Ninety-Six; Geo. Watson, of Greenwood, and Wales Lowery, of Seneca. On the arrival of the guests they were presented with a red star, to be used as a score card in the lively contest of "matchiug stars." This contest, waa en tered into with* zest and good natured rivalry. As a star was matched, the for tunate ono would have a small gold star pasted on her score card and when time wa? called Miss Nance bad gained the largest number and was presented with a pioture framed in a large star. A delioious ice course was served on the piazza and lawn, which were lighted by numerous Japanese interns. The punch bowl, being in the extreme oornor of tho lawn, was the exouse for strolls, but many oouples lingered on the way, tempted by the numerous rugs and cozy corners on the lawn. Some of the fair guests added much to tho pleasure of the ovening by their sweet music. At last tho happy party broke up, each returning to his or her respectivo home, to dream of the oharming evening they had just spent at this hospitable home in suburban Walhalla. The Misses Strib ling are oharming entertainers. Somo Race Ball Dope. The "Fats" and "Leans" crossed bats on the diamond on Faotory Hill last Fri day afternoon at 4.30 o'olook.

"If" the "Leans" hadn't played botter ball than tho "Fats" the latter would have boat in tho Anal wind-up. See? i Umpire Seaborn's decisions wem ques tioned in a great many instances, and "if" tho "Fats" had had advantage of all these, tliey would, we think, have been victorious. Until the ninth inning thtnga looked very flabby for the "Fats," but at this juncture it stacked up very well consid ering and wound up pretty-"nit."

Kichlnud, Jane 20.-Editors Koowoo Courier: I noticed your editorial regard ing the farmers' and Cotton .Nssooiation pionlo on July 19th at or near Walhalla. E. D. Smith wrote to me a few days before your announcement oame out aa to coming to Ooonee. I wrote him that we would announoe his ooming for Utah land on the 19th, as this place is nearer the co? tor of the cotton growing section of the county, also on the railroad, j Therefore, the Cotton Association is railed to meet at Biohland Academy Hall on July 19, at 10 o'clock a. m. E. D. Smith, F. H. Hyatt, P. H. Weston and perhaps other prominent speakers will make addresses on that date. The. pub lic are oordially invited to be present. A basket pionlo dinner will be served in the grove after the speaking is over. Our bankers, merchants, and in f aot all of our buainess men who are interested in maintaining a profitable prioe for cotton for the producer, are urged to take a day off and come.

Does thia platform interest you, kind reader? Then come out and hear and help us. E. D. Smith as an orator has few equals in the South.

It appears that the First Judioial District is composed of Sequo yah, Adair, Cherokee and Deleware counties. There wero Hover,.' candidates for the position and the oampaign was oxciting.
