He is now in a UPW and elaborately appointed suite of offices on Peachtree street, juBt opposite the Hotel Aragjn, offices in which the latest appli ances in his chosen branch of the medical profession are included. Few men in At lanta have more friends than Dr. Brown. They are all confident of his genius in solving the mysteries of the delicate organs of sight, bearing aud breathing. They re cognize in bim a man of remarkable prom ise in his profession and his recent progress is a source of sincere gratification to all of them." Mrs. Mvrtle Duncan, the beloved wifo of Rev. W. T. Duncan, died at her home at Starr last Baturday night after a brief illness, in the 28th year of her age. Mrs. Duncan was a daughter of the late Capt. W. A. McDonald, ot this County, where she was born and reared, and was a most noble, Christian woman, whose doath has brought sorrow to tho hearts of a wide circle of friends, who knew her and loved her for ber many beautiful traits of char acter. It was only a little more than a year ago that she stood at the marriage alter as a bride, with the promise of a long, useful and happy life, and her death is truly a sad one. In his pastoral duties her husband had a valuable helpmate, for she was ever willing and ready to seek the needy, comfort the sick and afflicted and stroogthen the weak. She was a faithful member of tho Methodist Church. On Suuday her remains were laid to rest at Smith's Chapel, the funeral services bting conducted by Rev. U. V. Barnes, in the presence of a large congregation of sorro w lng friends. Besides a devoted husband, she leaves an infant Bon, about ten days old, and many friends and relatives to cherish her memory.

The Greenwood correspondent of the Abbeville Press and Banner attended the recent camp meeting at Sandy Springs, and this is what he says about bis trip : "I passed through and stopped in the beautiful city of Anderson. They have the get up and get vim about th?ni that go to make a live town. Anderson reminds me more of Greenwood than any town I bave visited lately. The roads in Ander son County are just splendid. They are in as good condition, if not better than the streets of Greonwood or Abbeville. They are worked with the road machine. The crops are tine, especially bottom corn ; rain is very much needed in this section to cool the parched earth. The ex treme bot weather is telling on the crops very rapidly now. "I counted 46 candidates in the Ander son papers for the various offices, 15 for the Legislature, 9 for Sheriff. 6 for Treasurer and quite a number for the other offices. It is a general saying among those I have met that they cannot make a ticket for the House out of the 15 candidates on account of their incompetency. It is said that Josh Ashley is the best ma.n in thc race and will head the ticket. I would rather have one representative as five members. "The camp meeting commenced Wed nesday night with a small attendance, very few are tenting. I arrived on the ground at ll o'clock Thursday morning. The greatest curiosity I have *een is the old trumpet that is sounded 6 times a day, viz, at day light to wake the tent?is, at ann up for prayer at harbor, ap ain for preaching at S, ll, 3 and night, l uis old trumpet has been in continual usa since 1830. It bas 1830 cut on it. Tin's camp meeting was organized about 182*', and has never suspended except four yearn during the late war. If this old trumpet could talk and write, it could furnish a wonderful history. Old 8andy Spriogs is a sacred spot to many. My grand father and grand mcther Major's precious dust^ sleep in the cemetery near by, together with many other relatives. The people don't go out here for show, but r.o worship God. Many, yes a great many point to this old sacred spot as the place where they first found the Lord. This old camp ground is located on the Blue Ridge R. il., 9 miles above Anderson, S. C. I guess all the survivors of Orr's regiment of rifles re member old Sandy Springs. This regi ment was camped here for several months before going to the seat of war. "Sandy Springs is about 8 miles from Clemson College, and about one mile from Pendleton factory. The only living sister of my father, Mrs. Eliza Smith, lives about 3 miles from the camp ground. I have a host of relatives here. From my aunt's piazza, yon have a plain view of Blue Ridge mountains in the distance of about 25 miles." Lowndesvillc News. Mr. C. C. Allen, of Washington, D.

It is always a pleasure to see the smiling face of the delightful young lawyer among the visitors to this rnral summer resort and it can truthfully be said that no young man has ever made more and bet ter friends by his pleasing manners, his good address, and bis courteous style, than bas Mr. Coffin, sinco first he began to spend a portion of bis Bummer vaca tion among the Seven Hills. He has the happy faculty of remembering names and faces, and never fails to inspire a conversation with tho relation of pleasing incidents. Mr. Collin graduated from the Citadel in 1892 with distinction, stand ing with the first of his class in point of classics-and holding the position of Cap tain of "B" Company as a compliment to bis military genius. It is upon the shoulders of such young men the destiny of this Republic is assured, and would that we had more of them. The subject of this notice must ever feel "that Lown desville has a warm welcome for him, that bis many friends here are ever glad to note his success, and will always insist upon a continuation of his summer visits.

The contest between the campaign liar and the amateur fisherman still rages without abatement. It is enough to make old John C.
