The train came in on time and was met by a number of friends of in? dividual Cadets and admirers of Cadets collectively. Tbe drill at the University campus was beautifully done and every? body praised the performance of tbe neat, alert young soldiers. Then tbe grey uni? forms scattered out and were all over tbe streets, afoot, abuggy and awheel, for many of the Cadets procured bicycles and others secured fair companions and there was a very frequent juxtaposition of Spring raiment and brass buttons. The visitors and tbe visited seemed to have a thoroughly good lime, and one of the best features of the whole affair was the pres? ence of some of the best sets of features in Anderson, a select assortment of remark? ably pretty girls having come over to help the P. M. I. represent that city, /'he ball game between the-P. M. I. and Furman University was interesting and well played. Farma*. outdid Anderson at the bat, but tbe Carets showed themselves to be wonderfully neat, quick fielden." Rev. W. T. Matthews, the evangelist of the South Carolina Presbytery, closed a very interesting and successful meeting at Roberts Church last Sunday nigtt, after having preached eight successive days and nights.

Shame on you old brothers; you claim to be Christians and yet can't get down on your knees in a prayer meeting and ask God for a blessing.

His visit, though short, was quite a pleasant surprise to his rela? tives and friends in this community. Broadmouth Girl. A Pleasant Success. The excursion to Atlanta, Ga., last week was a very pleasant success, as has been all the excursions run by Mr. L. P. Smith. Over three hundred people from Hodges, Honea Path, Beiton, William? ston, Anderson, Denver, Pendleton and other points took advantage of this rare chance to visit the metropolis of tbe South. The previous rains had cooled tbe atmosphere and laid tbe dust, and conse? quently rendered what might have other? wise been a hot, dusty ride, real pleasant. The train was on time, and left Anderson at 2 30 Wednesday afternoon, and reached Atlanta at 8.30. There were no stops nor delays, and everybody was happy over tbe quick trip to tbe "Gate City/' and as tbe train rolled into tbe car shed the boys made the welkin ring. It wonld have surprised any one to have seen how quick the orowd disappeared from the depot, and they remained very much scattered until the hour for return arrived. Thursday was spent in seeing Atlanta. The following places of interest were vis? ited: McPherson Barracks, one of the best equipped U. 8. Army Stations. It was a real treat to see this place and hear the excellent mnsic of the band. Grant Park is another point tbat presents attrac? tions. Here can be seen the elephant, camel, lion, bear, prairie dog, wolves, leopard, rattlesnakes and other animals and sights worth seeing. In this park is Fort Walker, with attractions for the sol? dier. The State Capitol is a building worth seeing, and from its dome one may get a view of Atlanta from above. This is a magnificient structure, and surpasses our State Capitol, which cost three times as much. A ride up Peacht. je Street gives one a view of fine residences and beau? tiful yards not often found in tbe South. West End is another interesting drive, along which may be seen tbe progress of Atlanta. The Equitable building is prob? ably the finest in tbe city. Ponce De Leon Springs affords another attraction for visi? tors. A professional game of ball between Sa? vannah and Atlanta gave another attrac? tion on Thursday afternoon. The opera on Thursday night finished tbe day's sight seeing and enjoyment, and brought the hour for return. At 1 o'clock Friday morning the train pulled ont, and at 7 o'clock it rolled op to tbe depot at Anderson, bringing a sleepy and tired orowd. Nature aud art unite to make the city of Atlanta one of the most attractive places of the South. Tbe excursionists were very much pleased with their trip, and are under many obligations to Mr. Smith. Two dollars for the round trip to Atlanta ia a very low rate. No one who can go should miss the next chance to visit Atlanta. Several other excursions will probably be rnn by Mr. Smith daring tbe Summer. One. Honor Boll of Tovrnvlllc High School for April, 1803. HighSchool Department?Eighth Grade ?Newt.
