After All, "Oconee" is Best Name for
County--I/ocal Nows.
Bounty Land, Feb. 5.-Special:
vMss Sallie Davis was a gucBt |ast
week ol" Miss Hortense Jones, near
Westminster.
The three children of Mr. Berry

M. Morris'. All are up again and im
proving.

Miss Mortice Cleveland, who ls

fined to her room for over a week
j with severe cold. Her many friends
hope that she may soon he able to
resume her attendance at school.
We heartily agree with the Green
ville man about changing the name
of the county to Bounty band. The
jinnie ls suggestive of abundance.
lt ls true that Richland has a simi
lar significance, but land may hcf
ever so rich and yet may not. yield
bountifully, owing to improper till
age. Besides all this, the State al
ready has a Richland county, and we
are not sure but that Its area ls
some larger than the area of Oconee.
Then it would naturally follow that
the two counties would he designat
ed "Big Richland" and "Little Rich
land." Wouldn't that be a' pretty
come-off.> for-Richland, after all her
.proud boasting about corn prizes,
eloquent orators, etc., tc be dubbed
"Little Richland"? Mr. Editor, let's
don't let them change lt, or If they
do, let's have it changed to Bounty
Land. One Richland is enough for
one State; and besides lt would be
unfair to merge the whole county Into
insignificance on account of the
thoughtlessness of a mero few, how
ever great their achievements.
