Last Saturday Coroner Nance, in com?
pany with Sheriff Bolt and others, went
to the grave of Andy Hillhouse, colored,
and exhumed his body, for the purpose of
examining it and seeing whether he had
been shot, as had been reported. Dr.
Duckworth made a thorough examina?
tion of the body, and could find no marks
of violence or wounds upon it. How the
report that Hillhouse had been shot by
Constable Smith originated,' is a mystery,
as that gentleman never attempted his ar?
rest.
Jimmie Catbcart, son of Mr. and Mrs.
P. K. McCully, died at the home of his

in his home, and his death has caused
great" grief. His remains were laid to

Sunday afternoon, Rev. Dr. Frierson con?
ducting the funeral services, in the pres?
ence of a large concourse of sympathizing
friends.
Married, at the residence of the bride's
father, near Belton, on Tuesday, April 26,
1887, at 4 o'clock p. m., by Rev. W. A.
Betts, Mr. Hammond Webb, of this city,
and Miss Gertrude Brownlee, eldest
daughter of Mr. G. P. Brownlee. Imme?
diately after the ceremony the bridal par*
ty came to this city, where a reception was
tendered the couple that evening at the
residence of Mr. A. P. Hubbard. We
join the many friends of the couple in
wishing them a long life of happiness and
prosperity.
We learn from the Orange, Texas, Tri?
bune of the death of Dr. S. M. Brown, who
several years ago was well known in this
County. He was killed by being run
over by an engine on the railroad track.
He was- a brother of Dr. ?. M. Brown,
who a few years ago resided at Belton.
Dr. S. M. Brown left this County at an
early age and located in Mississippi, where
he studied medicine. He afterwards
graduated at Louisville, Ky. He return
ad to this County, with his family in 1860,
he having married during his stay in Mis?
sissippi. In 1861 he went to the front in
Orr's Regiment to fight the battles of his
country, and was assigned to the dnty of
field surgeon, and afterwards became a
regular army surgeon. After the war he
returned to his native home, but soon
sought his fortune out West, locating at
Jasper, Texas, and afterwards at Orange
City, where he resided at the time of his
fatal accident. The account of his death
.Is as follows: "A little girl had lost her
hat under the long bridge, and he was in
the act of helping her to find it, when the
engine came upon him and bore him
down; and though by no means an ab?
sent-minded man, so full of sympathy
jyae he for the anxious child, and so in?
tent were his thoughts upon relieving the
distressed little one, he did not hear tho
approach of bis doom."
The Firemen's Parade.
The second annual inspection and pa?
rade of the Anderson Fire Dopartment
took place last Thursday afternoon, ac?
cording to announcement. Nearly the
whole city turned out to witness the dis?
play, and by 4 o'clock the sidewalks, win?
dows and verandas on the West side of
the Square were crowded with persons of
every age, sex aud color.
The Department formed in line on north
Main street, at the intersection of Green?
ville street. The procession started off
with the police force, mounted on fine
grey horses, at the head, followed by the
Chief and Assistant Chief of the Depart?
ment, the Young America Comet Band,
the Independent Hook and Ladder Com?
pany, the Pioneer Steam Fire Engine
Company, and the Rough and Ready
Hand Engine Company in the order
named. Following the Companies came
the Mayor, City Council and several in?
vited guests in carriages. The procession
proceeded down Main street to Belton
street, and then returned to the Square
and formed in line opposite Brick Range.
The Companies were then inspected by
the officers of the Department and the
Mayor and City Council, accompanied by
Gen. M. L. Bon ham, of Columbia, and
Mr. F. W. Martin, first Assistant Chief of
the Greenville Fire Department. After
the inspection, Mayor Tolly made a short
speech to the Companies, in which he
highly complimented the Department
He said he was proud to know that An?
derson could boast of such fine Companies,
which were composed, of men who were
always ready and willing to do their duty.
The Pioneer and the Bough and Beady
Companies then repaired to their respec?
tive engine houses, and the Hook and
Ladder Company to the top of the bill op?
posite Chief Divver's residence for the
purpose of indulging in a little practice.
In a few seconds the alarm was sounded,
and out came the firemen, the Engine
Companies running to the cisterns on the
Square and the Hook and Ladder boys to
Brick Range. The Companies made good
time, but the Pioneers threw the-first
water.
The firemen presented a most creditable
and handsome appearance, and were
highly complimented by the many stran?
gers in our midst. The Hose Reels and
Truck were tastefully and beautifully dec?
orated with flowers and evergeens.
Anderson has cause to be proud of her
Fire Department. Our efficient Chief,
Dr. R. F. Divver, takes a gieat deal of in?
terest in the Department, and by his ex?
cellent management aud superior judg?
ment has made it one of the most efficient
in the State.

Grand Lodge of the Knights of Honor.
The tenth annual session of tho Grand
Lodgo of Knights of Honor convened in
this city on Wednesday evening, 20th
inst., with Grand Dictator M. L. Bonhain
in the chair. All the officers were pres?
ent except Col. M. B. McSweeney, Grand
Vice Dictator, of Hampton. Out of fifty
three Lodges in the State, forty-eight were
represented, the total attendance of dele?
gates and officers being about sixty-five.
On Wednesday evening the reports of
the various officers were read and referred
to appropriate committees.
The sessions on Thursday were devoted
to routine work and hearing the reports
of the committees on the officers' rep rts.
The reports of the officers showed the
order to be in a most healthy and pros?
perous condition, and gradually on the
increase throughout the State. There are
at present fifty-three Lodges in the State,
with i total membership of about 2,200.
During the year ending April 1,1887, there
have been twenty-two deaths in the State.
Prosperity Lodge, of Georgetown, won
the banner which had been offered by the
Grand Dictator to the Lodge securing the
largest increase of membership during
the year.
An effort was made to locate the Grand
Lodge permanently, but the effort proved
in vain. An effort was made also to have
bi-ennial sessions, but the Lodge decided
to continue to meet annually.
The following officers were elected to
serve the ensuing year:
Past Grand Dictator?M. L. Bonham, of
Columbia.
Graud Dictator?Edmund Bacon, of
* Spartanburg.
Grand Vice-Dictator?P. H. Waidlaw,
of Edgefield.
Grand Assistant Dictator?W. R. Del
gar, of Sumter.
Grand Reporter?G. W. Hollandr of
Newberry.
Grand Treasurer?J. T. Robertson, of
Abbeville.
Grand Chaplain?B. G. Clifford, of
Union.
Grand Guide?W. W. Simons, of
Charleston.
Grand Guardian?C. P. Quattlebaum, of
Conway.
Grand Sentinel?P. K. McCully, of An?
derson.
Grand Trustees?W. H. Lockwood, of
Beaufort, P. H. London, of Rock Hill,
and M. F. Ansel, of Greenville.
Grand Dictator Edmuud Bacon was
elected Representative to the Supreme
Lodge for two years, and M. L. Bonham
and B. G. Clifford for one year.
The Grand Lodge concluded its sessions
on Thursday evening, and adjourned to
meet next year in Beaufort.
The sessions of the Lodge were very in?
teresting throughout to.those whose priv?
ilege it was to.attend, and it is the general
opinion that a-more intelligent nor finer
looking body of men never before as?
sembled in Anderson.
The Order is in a most flourishing con?
dition throughout the United States, hav?
ing a membership of about 130,000.
Within the past year more than $120,000
has been expended in charity, and in ad?
dition has paid out $3,123,000 to the bene?
ficiaries of its members. Right here in
j Anderson the Order has been of great
benefit. No mutual fraternal Order ranks
higher.
The Banquet.
The Banquet given by Anderson Lodge,
No. 290, Knights of Honor to the Grand
Lodge Knights of Honor, of the State on
Thursday night of last week, in the chap?
el of the Anderson Military Academy
was quite a success.
[ The Grand Lodge was escorted from
the Masonic Building, where they- held
I their annual meeting, to the banquet hall
by the local Lodge of the city, preceded
by the Young America Cornet Band and
I followed by the members of the Pioneer
Fire Company and the Independent Hook
and Ladder Company, who were invited
to participate at the banquet. Besides
these there were other invited guests,
making in all two hundred and fifty or
three hundred who were present. Al?
though the Hall was full, yet perfect order
seemed to reign, and everything passed off
quietly and pleasantly.
There was no intoxicating drinks served,
which no doubt accounts for the great
success of the entertainment, and is a
forcible illustration of the truth that ban?
quets can be made pleasant and enjoyable
without wine, and it is commendable in
the Knights of Anderson Lodge that they
decided to have nothing intoxicating on
this occasion. The Hall -was beautifully
decorated, and the tables well filled with
good things, and all seemed to enjoy the
evening.
When the procession arrived in the
Hall and all had been provided with seats,
prayer was offered by Rev. B. G. Clifford,
Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge.
Mr. J. M. Sullivan, the Dictator of An?
derson, on behalf of said Lodge, wel?
comed the Grand Lodge in very appro?
priate and eloquent words, to which M. L.
Bonham, Past Grand Dictator of the
Grand Lodge, responded in a most inter?
esting and entertaining speech.
Mayor Tolly then, on behalf of the cit?
izens of Anderson, welcomed the Grand
Lodge in a most hearty manner, to which
Mr. O. Sheppard, of Edgefield, responded
quite happily.
The following toasts were then proposed
and responded to by the gentlemen
named:
The Orders/ the KniglUs of Honor?An in?
stitution knightly and exalted, embracing
the whole brotherhood . of man; sound in
its business principles and united in bonds
irreproachable. Proposed by L.W.Miller.
Response by G. W. Holland.
South Carolina?A. State of the original
thirteen, distinguished alike in peace and
1 war, foremost against the aggressor, ever
jealous of her inherent rights, and supreme
? in the discharge of every patriotic duty.
, Proposed by G. E. Prince. Response by
M. F. Ansel.
? The City of Anderson?Unbounded in its
hospitality, noted for its enterprising spirit
and business capacity, secure in its present
! prosperity and loyal in its patriotism.
Proposed by W. W. Simons. Response by
E. B. Murray.
Our Guests?Whom we delight to honor,
, faithful guardians of a sacred trust, watch
, ful protectors of the suffering and distressed
?thus fulfilling the mandate of the Su?
preme Ruler of the Universe, "Love one
' another." Proposed by J. E. Breazeale.
, Response by G. 8. Mower.
Woman?Man's helpmate, the inspiration
1 of his hopes and fears, the guardian of his
i noblest achievements; in her beauty, mod?
esty and purity of soul, the admiration of
creation's lords: thus may she ever stand
as a beneficiary of our Order, receiving
homage and aid from every true Knight of
i Honor. Proposed by F. H. Wardlaw.
Response by R, T. Caston,
At intervals during the evening the
Young America Cornet Band dfc>
. coursed some excellent music, which
was highly enjoyed by all present,
i ' Several of the speakers of the evening
alluded to the part the women of Ander?
son bad taken to make the evening pleas
i ant. Too much cannot be said in their
i praise. Their skill and handiwork were
to be seen on every side. While they
were not present participating at the ban
, quet, it was evident to every observer
that they were "behind the curtains" and
were directing and doing the general boss
i ing. To them is much due for the success
of the entertainment.
Some of the young people of the city
had provided for a dance in another room
of the building, and enjoyed themselves
very much, as young people always do on
such occasions. After the banquet was
over they were joined by some of those
who up to that time had been engaged in
the banquet hall. Among the delegates
to the Grand Lodge who seemed to enjoy
the dance, none seemed to enjoy it so
much as the genial delegate from Aiken.

Doath of Mrs. T. C. Itcctl.
Pied, at her residence in this city, on
Sunday evening, April 24th, 1877, Mrs.
Theresa Caroline Reed, relict of the late
Judge J. P. Reed. She was the eldest of
twelve children oi the late Judge William
Hammond, of Dallon, Ca., and was born
in Carnesville, Ga., on the 12th of Februa?
ry, 1819, being at the time of her death in
the G9th year of her age. Her mother,
Frances Hammond, nee Frances Acker,
died when she was only nine years old.
She was married to the late Judge J. P.
Reed on the 2nd day of April, 1836. Rear?
ed nine children?two sons and seven
daughters, all but two of whom survive
her. In early life, soon after her marriage,
she and her husband connected themselves
with the Baptist Church, and were bap?
tized together. She enjoyed unusually
good health until within the last year of
her life, when she began gradually to de?
cline, but was not confined to her room
until three days previous to her death.
For over forty-five years she occupied the
same family residence, adorning and beau?
tifying it, and by her Christian and social
virtues connecting with it the sweetest
memories of a devoted wife, fond mother
and consecrated Christian. Few persons
have ever left to loved ones, and those who
came within the circle of their influence,
such rich treasures of hallowed virtues as
has this lovely, Christian woman. Unob?
trusive, meek and gentle by nature, she was
the centre around which clustered the pu?
rest affections of an almost idolizing fami?
ly, and was honored and esteemed by an
unusually large circle of friends. Her
Christian virtues so obscured her imperfec?
tions as to render them imperceptible. She
was truly a peace-maker, having a kind
word for every one, sowing the seeds of
peace and harmony in every circle of life.
It was always her pleasure to dwell upon
the good traits in the character of those of
whom she was speaking, throwing the veil
of charity over every fault, thus leaving
an' example worthy the emulation of all.
She was not only a peace-maker, but was
truly charitable?charitable to the needy as
well as to the erring; her hand was ever
open to supply, as far as she could, the
wants of the poor. The last lew days of
her life were as calm and peaceful as the
duties of her life had been quietly and
faithfully performed. Life's labors done,
when the summons came it found her, like
the wise virgins, with her lamp trimmed
and brightly burning, ready to meet her
Saviour. Her remains, after appropriate
funeral services, conducted by Rev. J. S.
Murray, assisted by Rev. L. M. Ayer, in
the presence of a very large congregation,
were committed on Tuesday, the 26th inst.,
to their final resting place in the Baptist
cemetery, by the side of her beloved hus?
band.
Fork Items.
As it is not the custom of the Fork to be
heard from through your most valuable
paper, please permit me to inform your
readers that we are hereand alive, never?
theless. Everything and everybody is
moving along about as well as the hard
times will permit.
Corn is about all up, and will soon he
ready for the plow and hoe. There is a
larger amount planted than nsual, and I
think the farmers will be able to gather
more this year than they have for several
years, if nothing serious happens to it.
Cotton is all planted, and some is begin?
ning to show itself above the ground.
Wheat looks fine, is in a prosperous con?
dition, nearly all in the boot.
Oats are not as good as I have seen for
the time of the year?in many places there
is not more than a half stand, and some
have been plowed up and planted in some
other crop.
The Postoflice at Broyles' is expected to
be moved in a few days to the store of Mr.
John C. Gantt, but will retain its same
name.
The roads have nearly all been worked
out under the new law, and look so much
better that, though it took hard work, we
are proud of them, and can now thank Mr.
Murray, though we abused him before.
We have had some good rains in the last
few days, and everything looks fresh and
green, and we feel like spring is upon us in
all its glory.
There is to be a pic nie at Andersonville
on Saturday, May the 7th. The public in
general are requested to attend with their
baskets, so that all can enjoy the occasion.
Mr. H. C. Routh was called upon last
Saturday to gin three bales of cotton. It
seems from that, that there is some surplus
cotton in the country yet.
Mr. McCanckle, the bridge builder, is
now stationed at Sloan's Ferry with his
force of hands, and has begun laying down
the iron, and making preparations to put
in our long looked for bridge.
"And then as ii. were in olden times,
A thing we have mostly needed,
A good substantial bridge of iron,
To help us to market more easily."
Ivon.
The farmers of the Fork are well up with
their farm work. The late rains have re?
freshed our grain crops very much, and I
must say that it has been many years since
prospect for wheat has been so fine. Our
farmers are very energetic in their efforts to
get their crops planted, and most of them
have the uplands ready seeded and their
bottoms broken. With good seasons we
can reasonably hope to make more] cotton
than ever before, and corn, if seasons hit,
will be abundant at every man's door at
harvest time this Fall. With the above
hope for good seasons, &c?good roads
(which the late law assures us) to haul
our crops to market over, and the liquor
temptation removed, as we hope it will be
ere long, how can we help being a happy,
prosperous and a'contented people ? With
all the above blessings in one year he who
will not he happy is a misanthrope, indeed.
R. J. W.
Bock Mills Items.
We had good raina Friday and Saturday
last.
Farmers are working corn the first time.
Cotton nearly all up and will soon call for
its share of attention.
Wheat still looking well, and if no disas?
ter befalls it, promises to make an extra
yield.
The school at Williford's vacates this
week till July.
Mr. T. J. Williford is one of our most
successful and enterprising young farmers,
and it's a pity his home is so lonesome.
Dr. R. G. Witherspoon has just purchas?
ed an elegant chaise, especially adapted to
his professional work. It is provided with
lamps and several drawers and compart?
ments in which to keep his medicines,
instruments, &c. Dr. Witherspoon is one
of our most prominent and successful
physicians, and has a large and extensive
field of practice.
We agree with "Burke" that a man who
has as large a heart as our friend Mr. C. B.
Giliner, deserves a good*house, and wo are
glad to know be is preparing to build at an
early date. Rock Mills can boast of no
more excellent nor whole-souled citizen
than Mr. Gilmer. He is ever ready to take
hold of, and push forward any measure
that pertains to the good of his commu?
nity or country.
We learn from one of Mr. E. J. Earle's
sons, that his father saw a bear, or some?
thing that resembled one, not far from his
home one day last week. Some of his
boys started out in pursuit of it, but the
dogs failed to strike its trail, and nothing
more has been heard of it.
Mr. S. A. Jones has captured a strang
looking bird for this part of the country,
While on the way to the field his setter
pup set and caught it. It is considerably
larger than a dove, it has a dark color, with
something of a green cast, its head and
neck are very beautiful and unique ; it has
a long beak, the point is green, and from
there to the top of its head is a beautiful
red, has long and green colored legs and
toes about three inches in length, We
have seen no one who was ornithologist
enough to give it a name.
The first Sabbath in May will be com?
munion day at Roberts. Mr. Ligon, the
pastor, is expecting assistanco on that day,
Aliquis.
Eureka Itomfl.
Wc wero shown a few days ago by Mr.
J?. M. Holland, a pocket knife, a relic of
the lute Capt. John Holland, of this town?
ship, that was bought out of the first store
that ever was at Ander.-on C. II. Mr. E.
M. II. could not toll positively who the
merchant was. Who can tell ?
Wehavo busied ourselves for the last
few days to enquiry about the prospect of
tho wheat crop, generally in this section,
and as a general thing the prospect is at
the present only a fair average. It ;is a
little further advancod than usual at this
season. The oat crop is looking well
enough, considerable improvement in its
appearance since the receut rain.
We would like to make mention of
several farmers in our township, but we
have so many good ones that we are
afraid to mention one or two, lest we
might wound the feelings of others who
stand equally as high in agr'cultural
circles. We believe that our township
can show some of as good farmers as
there are in the County. They are fur?
ther advanced than usual on their farms
at this season of the year. The cotton
crop is about all planted and is coming
up. Up-land corn is all planted, a good
stand up, and a large proportion of the
low lands are planted. There is more up?
land planted in corn in this section this
year than has been for years, and we are
glad of it.
The Eureka Reading Club meets at Mr.
B. B. Breazeale's next Friday evening at
7:30 o'clock.
There will be "something new under the
sun" for the children of Broadaway
Township on the 21st day of May next.
It will take place at Carpenter and Qeer's
Mill. We have been authorized to name
it an educational pic nie. It is given to
the children at the suggestion of one of
the' Trustees, (A. A. Carpenter,) of this
township; it is therefore a children'n day,
but a cordial invitation is extended to all.
All teachers (white) of the public
schools of this township, are earnestly re?
quested to be present, together with as
many of their pupils as possible. The
Eureka day school will furnish music for
the occasion. The other schools will give
calisthenic exercises. Hon. B. F. Cray
ton, Col. John G. Clinkscales and Hon.
E. B. Murray will deliver educational
addresses on the occasion. All issues now
before the public mind are excluded from
the meeting. The above will be food for
the mind, a well filled basket brought by
every one will furnish food for the body
on that day. *
Sunday School Union.
Mn. Editor: We know that your
paper is not a religious one, yet we feel
that you will suffer the following to be
inserted in its columns. As you will
observe, the article is addressed especially
to the Sunday Schools of the Third Dis?
trict of the Saluda Association :
Dear Brethren : As the timo of our Sun?
day School Union is drawing near, we
think it not amiss to refresh your minds
of the fact. We want, we actually need a
full representation at that meeting, from
all the Schools in our Union. Each
school is entitled to two delegates for the
first fifty pupils, and one additional dele?
gate for every twenty-five over the first
fifty. According to that basis of repre?
sentation we ought to have twenty or
twenty-five delegates present. Will we
have it? It will be an opportunity
offered to us, not only to show our love
and devotion to our blessed Master, but it
will afford an opportunity to prove our
zeal and energy for his cause. We want,
therefore, as many of the workers in this
department of Christian activity present
as possible. We hope and confidently
expect to meet many of these noble men
aud women of God at Salem on the 5th
Sabbath in May next. Such a gathering
together Jas is there contemplated will
have two grand results. First, the Union
Meeting itself will be a success, which we
all know has been a failure for a number
of years. Secondly, it will bo the means
of provoking others to love good works,
and thirdly, (but this is not near all,) the
Sunday School Union will be a success,
and we will all feel so good and happy
after it is over.
Now, we wrut all the information and
every item of interest we can get from
each Sunday School. So in making your
reports, please state how many officers,
teachers, pupils, what kind of literature
the school uses, how often you meet, and
state if tho school contributes to missions.
All of these Items when collected will tell
us what we are doing for the Master.
Tho following is the programme of the
meeting: Place, Salem Church. Time,
5th Sabbath in May next, at 0:30 o'clock.
Exercises opened with singing and prayer.
1st. Reports from all the Sunday
Schools, either verbal or written, verbal
preferable. Music.
2nd. The reading of essay on the mag?
nitude of the Sunday School work, pro
pared by Miss Alice Usula Loverett, of
Cross Roads Church. Music.
3rd. An address by Col. L. E. Camp
belle, of Eureka. Music.
4th. Essay prepared by Mrs. W. B.
Quails, of Lebanon Church. Subject of
her own choice.
5th. Address by L. P. Smith, of An?
derson Baptist Church.
The Sunday School at Salem will fur?
nish music for the occasion,
W. H. King, President;
C. O. Burriss, Clerk.

Helton Items,
Notwithstanding the inclement weather
on last Friday ovcuing, a goodly number
attended tbe Dime Reading in Stringer's
Hull. We bayo not tbe space to comment
on tho various pieces rendered, but suffice
it to say that all the participants did
credit both to themselves and the Club.
One day last week our town was
thrown into quite an excitement on ac?
count of the appearance on the streets, of
a dog, supposed to have been mad. Sev?
eral who saw the dog say that it exhibi?
ted decided symptoms of hydrophobia.
It was shot, but uot until it had bitten
several dogs. None of these, however,
have shown symptoms of the disease.
Rev. G. SI. Rogers preached a temper?
ance sermon last Sunday, at Dorchester,
which was one of great force and effect.
Let the friends of temperance and prohi?
bition stand fast. The ultimate result
canuot bo otherwise than right. Injus?
tice, ignorance, vice and anarchy mu9t be
superseded by right, enlightenment,
morality and law. W. E. B.
Holland's Store Items.
The cherry and plum crop promises
pretty fair, which will bo better than no
fruit.
The warm days, together with the
beautiful showers, has given wheat and
oats a fine start
Our farmers, generally, procured good
stands of corn. Cotton is coming up and
will soon need the master's most earnest
, attention.
' The cultivation of sorghum will claim
a part of the attention of farmers this
season. Some of our friends will run
portable machinery for tho manufacture
of it into molasses.
The colored people of this section are
somewhat excited over tho report that a
wild animal of not a very friendly nature,
is at large. They describe it as about as
large as two large dogs combined, and
making the most hideous noise that mor?
tal ears ever listened to. Whether true
or not, it will have a tendency to make
them stay in doors at night. BruivE.
A Correction.
I notice that a correspondent of the
Anderson Journal, writing from Major's
Mill, says:
"Mr. Wm. Chamblee has the finest carp
pond we have seen. He also terraces his
land more to my notion than anybody I
have seen. He has succeeded in stopping
several gullies which he thought was doing
a great deal of damage to the bottoms and
throwing too much sand and rocks into
the creek."
In this he pays me an unmerited com?
pliment. I have pursued the plan of hill?
side ditches run upon a level, and haye no
terraces upon my place ; neither have I
succeeded in stopping any damaging gulliesi
He was probably cutting at some work
done by some hands on my place, which
was intended to change these washes, but
were torn down by a neighbor who
thought they would injure his land. I
had nothing to do with it, and would not
erect any structures which would throw
water in any way calculated to damage a
neighbor. I should not have noticed this
article, but for tbe fact that it appears to be
an attempt at irony at my expense. I
prefer for the facts to be accurately stated.
I do not take the Journal, but a copy of the
number with this extract was handed me
by a neighbor who understood the refer?
ence. % W. T. Chamblee.
SIr. Editor: In your issue of the 21st,
you have a communication from "B," in
reference to a public cemetery. I will
state for the information of "B" and
others interested, that the Presbyterian
Church has passed no resolution forbid?
ding any to bury in said cemetery except
families of members of the Church. The
fact is, there is no vacant ground in the
grave yard, even for families belonging to
the Chuich who do not now have a place.
There are members of the Presbyterian
Church who have no place in tho grave?
yard to bury their dead if some of their
family were to die, but would have to be
deposited temporarily. This ought not to
be. I hope our town authorities will
move in this matter at once. T.

have come, but oar retail Stores on %rd Avenue and 56/A Street are not complete, and we fear that by the time we can occupy Ihm,
