When she deeded this; laud she appointed sixteen Trustees, with tho Rev. Hugh McLees as chairman. The meeting was presided over by Maj. T. H. Russell, and addresses were delivered by Messrs. M. F.

Normal Mtulo School Concept. it was otir "good fortune to be present at the Concert given by the Normal Mu? sic School at Salem Church, about five miles Northwest of the city, last Friday 'night. Despite the inclement weather, the Church was comfortably filled with an intelligent audience, and everyone present seemed to enjoy the entertain? ment, which consisted entirely of vocal music, as will be seen by the following programme, which was rendered : "Glory to fsrea'ls God,'*?Anthem. "Good-bye, Sweet Day"?Quartette and Chorus. "From his Home on the Mountain"? Humming Chorus. ? . "Good-night, Darling"-^-Solo and Cho? rus. "My Old Cottage Home"?Quartette and Chorus.

Showalter, of Walton, Ga., who has been teaching the Normal. The progamme was admirably rendered, and was alike creditable to botl pupils and tutor. We would like to oniment on each piece separately, but fcr fear of do? ing an injustice we will not attempt it. This was the closing of the third an? nual session of the Normal S chool. The session has been a very successful one, there having been an average attendance of about seventy-five pupils, nearly nil of whom participated in tie Concert. Prof. Showalter has given perfect satis? faction in hie labors, having won the es? teem and confidence of every one, and has proven conclusively that lie is a thor? ough master of his profession. Willianiaton News and Notes. Mr, EniTOR: The morning of Thurs? day, the twenty-seventh of August, did not conform to what most persons would regard as an "ideal" day for an open air pionic. The day' was the tv/elfth anni? versary of the laying of the c orner-stone ot thei Williamston Female College, and had been set apart by the College authori? ties as the occasion for an ' educational "pic-nic" in honor of the evont. It re? mains to the credit of the College manage? ment and its friends, that in ?pite of the wpful lack of enthusiasm on the part of the mercury, in seeking its w onted posi? tion of extreme exaltation, anil in the face of our evident desire on the part of the sun to shield himself behind a bank of sombre clouds, the anriiversa ry celebra? tion was a complete success. j f. The exercises were opened in the col? lege chapel at 11 o'clock a. m. when addresses were delivered by the Rev. W. D. Kirkland, Presiding EMer of the Cokesbury District, and Coll.. John G. Clinkscales, School Commissioner. The chapel was decorated with evergreen wreaths, festoons and mottoes, which combined to produce an effect of decided artistic beauty. Mr.' Kirkland! discussed the subject of "Female Education," with especial reference to the defects of the sys? tems for Female instruction In the past, and the ever-increasing needs und widen? ing possibilities of the work in the near future. The manner in which his address was received by the intelligent and in? tensely appreciative audien :;e showed that they regarded the speaker as having done full j ustice to his well-known abili? ty as an orator. Col. Clinkscalos touched a responsive chord in the breasts of his listeners when be chose as the subject of his discourse, the Institution, which Wil liamston people are proud to call "Our College," and of which he himself, had the honor of being a devoted "Son-in law." He portrayed, with effect, the wholesome influence that the College had exerted upon Williamston and the Wil liamstonians, by elevating and intensify? ing the moral character of the place, and . inspiring in 'the minds of its youth of both sexes a desire for a higher and better education. Asa proof of this, he adduced the fact that Williamston had produced more College graduates iu the last few years, than any other town of its size in the country. The Colonel's address was frequently Interrupted by applause. Next following the delivery of the addresses, came the serving of I he basket dinner, which took place in ;he Spring Park. The viands were spread in gener? ous profusion on little tables, in terspersed with delightsome frequency throughout the cool and shady enclosure. The geni? us of hospitality was abroad a:ad infused into the mingled crowd of school-girls, ex-school-girls, alumnre, mati ?ns, -heads of families, and the youthilil^sclons thereof, a superabundance of -genuine good feeling, which mado the afternoon one of real social enjoyment. The Alumnoe Association of the Female College held a meeting during' the after? noon. Nineteen of the fifty-three gradu? ates now living were present. Mrs. George E. Prince was chosen 'President; Mrs.. Ella Cox Cromer, of Abbeville, Vice President; Miss Lila Prince, of William ston, Recording Secretary, and Miss Mat tie Brown, of Williamstou, Correspond? ing Secretary. The Association agreed to have an annual reunion on the coruor stono anniversary day, and committees were appointed to arrange therefor. In the evening, tho College parlors, halls and corridors were thrown open and a general invitation extended to the friends of the Institution to attend au informal "reunion" of the old graduates, who wore present. Tho ceaseless stream of promenader?, the continual hum of lively conversation, and the merry rip? ples of laughter that broke in upon the strains of softly flowing music from piano and string baud, made up an evening of rare pleasure for the happy partici? pants. At ll.tfO the guests c.isbauded, and with their partings, the Williamston Female College bad farewell to this her first corner-stone celebration. A more enjoyable, appropriate and harmonious event has novor transpired in this place.' The Young America Band interspersed specimens of their excellently rendered music throughout tho day's program, and for tho evening's guyoties tho Piedmont String Band afforded unmixed melody. Tho day passed without a hilch in the arrangomonts, a fact which speaks vol? umes for Dr. Lander, whose versatile originality and practical cxecuti vo ability have combined to make the College of his foundation what it is to-day?a' high grade institution, honestly conducted on a firm basis, and thoroughly prepared to do tho work it proposes to do. The Doc? tor has valuable assistants, in tbe persons of his two sons, Messrs. John M. and W. Tortius Lander, who are now associated with him in the College management. otdckr items. Prof. A J.

Mr. Editor : For some reason the im> presHion prevails in Some parts of our" County that the W. C. T. U. of Anderson has discontinued its work, and as you have kindly given us space, we wish to say a few words in regard to our Union. Although defeated in the Town election, and in our efforts in other directions last Fall; we are not at all disposed to give up this work: on the contrary we feel that we are not at liberty to choose for our? selves in this matter. We have been clearly shown our duty in this work, and we dare not shirk that duty. At a very interesting meeting, held on Tuesday afternoon, August 25, the follow? ing officers were elected for the coming year: Prsident?Mrs. C. R. Murray. Vice-President from Baptist Church Mrs. L. P. Smith. Vice-President. from Presbyterian Church?Mrs. A. B. Towers. Vice-President from Episcopal Church ?Mrs. Rosa Webb. Vice-President from Methodist Church ?Mrs. Eva Smith. Treasurer?Mrs. B. F. Wilson. Corresponding Secretary?Miss Jeflie Edwards. Recording Secretary?Miss Lenora Hub bard. Assistant Recording Secretary?Miss Lulah- Watson. . Committee on influencing the Press Miss Lenoia Hubbard and Mrs. E. A. Featherston. Thus we enter upon the second year of our existence as a Temperance Union, feeling more deeply the need of work in this direction, and more than ever deter? mined to continue our efforts until they are crowned with success. Our business meetings are held on Tuesday afternoons at 6 o'clock, in Temperance Hall; and we ask all ladies interested in temperance work to join us. In the same Hall on Sunday afternoons we have a Temp era nco prayer meeting, conducted by gentlemen who are honorary members of our Union, and to this meeting we invite everybody. Especially do we ask our friends from the country to attend, and so help to sustain the interest in our cause, which we are glad to know is extending over the whole County. We have been defeated in our City, and now we appeal to tho County. God's blessing is on this work: let us bo faithful in our duty, "for God and Home and Native Land." L. C. H. Company D, 2nd South Carolina Rifles. Townville, S. C, August 29, 1885. Mr. Editor: I have before me the pocket memorandum of Mr. J. A. McLeskey which he carried during the last year of the late war. He was 2nd Sergt; of Com? pany D, but for some time prior to the close of the war he acted as 1st Sergt. In this book I find a roll of the com? pany, which, however, is not the original one. This company, it will be remembered by many, was recruited by D. L. Cox, who was its first commander, and who through tho regular channels rose to be Major of the regiment. Upon the promo? tion of Capt. Cox, Lieut. Lanford suc? ceeded to the command of the company, which he retained till the close of the struggle. Lieut. Harrison, whose days were ended amid the most intense suffer? ing from rheumatism at bis borne near Anderson C. H. just after the war, was one of the original officers of this com? pany. Captain Lanford was scrupulously neat in his apparel, was a stern disciplinarian, and had the rare capacity for holding men well in hand during battle. Lieut. Grubbs, who often held the tem? porary command of the company, was accorded the confidence and esteem of all the men, and Was a' most excellent drill master. For some special act of gallantry he was presented with a beautiful'sword by some ladies pf Petersburg,. Virginia. It is noteworthy that all the commis? sioned, officers of this company, save Lieut;;Harrison, are living. >t .This was one of the original companies composing the battalion'commanded by the gallant John V. Moore. By the ad? dition of other companies the battalion soon grew to a regiment?the 2nd ?. C. Riiles'^and Major Moore became its Colo? nel and held the command till his fall at the Second Battle of Manasses, Aug. 29, 30, 1862, Following is the company roll referred to": Captain?S. P. Lanford ; Lieutenants W. L.Grubbs, 1st; T. J. Keese, 2nd; Ser? geants?1st, W. H. Gwinn ; 2nd, J.' A. McLeskey;. 3rd, A. Bradberry,; 4th, C. A. White; 5th,H. F. Suber; Corporals? 1st, W. W.

Of these all tho commissioned officers, three sergeants, two corporals and thirty six privates went from this Fork coun? try. Twelve of tho surviving privates live within tho limits of Fork Township. A reunion of the survivors should be held in order to perfect the roll and col? lect all data of interest to the company. The survivors in the Fork would be glad to hear from Maj. Cox on the subject.
