Local News* WEDNESDAY, F KB. 1, 1S99. Septus Hems. We have just returned from a trip to Pickens, and have traveled over some of the worst roads we have ever seen. We think the roads in Anderson Coun ty bad, but "law me!" the roads in Pickens are just simply awful. In some places one has to quit the road and go through the fields, or run the risk of being turned over or have his vehicle broken. How many of us at the beginning of the present year made a solemn vow to the Allwise and most powerful Ruler of tho Universe that we would lead a better and purer life; live more conse crated to "Him who doeth all things well" during the next 3(15 days than we have ever lived in the past ? And how many of us, if it were possible, would not call back the moments that are passed and forever gone, that we might have one more chance at catching the golden opportunity that we so cruelly pushed to one side ? Never thinking ?hat we would ever have any use for so small a thing as an opportunity, but all the lime rushing wildly, madly on in our nish for fame and fortune. But, alas! after it is eternally and everlast ingly too late we can see the result of our early practiced folly. The health of our people is pretty bad at present, owing to prevalence of the "grip." Most of the cases though are of a mild character. More hog and hominy and less cot ton will be the battle cry of the farm ers this year. So, Mr. Editor, you may expect to hear of a wave of prosperity striking the Southern farmer, such as has never before been realized. They can now see and realize what a great mistake they have made in planting their land all m cotton and depending upon Western farmers to supply them with Hour, corn and meat from their bountiful store. Sad and lonely was the Christmas for some of our neighbors. The cruel hand of death visited the home of Mr. Jas. S waney, just before Christmas, and laid its icy grasp upon the form ot* his little i eleven-year-old daughter, and wafted her spirit into the great "beyond." She had been sick about five weeks with several diseases. Her remains were interred in Corinth cemetery. Also, on Christmas night, about 12 o'clock, the grim visitor came into the home of Mr. Thomas Black, and bore away the spirit of his beloved wife. Mrs. Black leaves a husband and four little children, who will sorely miss the guiding hand of a kind and affectionate mother. But they have comfort in knowing that she "passed over the river and rests under the shade of the trees." Her remains were laid to rest in Lebanon cemetery. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved families. Rain, mud and bad roads are what the farmers generally have for guano hauling time, and this year is not going to be an exception. * Mr. Editor, wc think it is a shanie and disgrace to the State of South Car olina for her Governor to be talking of economizing by cutting down the . appropriation for the old grizzly Con federate soldiers from $100,000 to $50, 000. We think the Legislature would do better to appropriate $000,000, in stead of cutting it down to a mere pit tance indeed. Cut off their already small pension one-half, and it will give them upon an average between seven and ten dollars, not enough to support one of them one month. Shame upon any man, or set of men, who will try to bring into starvation the already needy veterans of '61-65. They fought and shed their precious blood for us, and we think that now, after the snows of three-score years have fallen upon their heads, that we should support them in their old and enfeebled days. Give them a large appropriation. We have no marriages to chronicle but think we will have some in the near future. Mr. Lester Hames is now working in the shop at this place. Mr. A. T. Pressly is now domiciled in his new storeroom, and invites the careful buyer to inspect his nice line of goods and his prices. There is still some Cotton in the fields. Mrs. Rebecca Pickle and Miss Leola Thompson visited Mrs. Wm. Watkins last Sunday. L. ESSIK. Corinne Dots. How beautiful the sight which met our gaze Saturday morning when we awoke and found that the. earth had silently, during the night hours, taken on her mantle of snow. Suppose those who enjoy hmitiug were glad to see it. Messrs. F. W. Banister. W. H. Dar racott, H. M. Tate, C. M. Gray, Alston Thompson, Robt. McClellan, Dis. How en and Lynford went bunting last Fri day. Think they lani great success from what they say. Misses Annie ami Cornelia Geutry, after a three-months" visit among friends and relatives, returned to At lanta, Ga., last Wednesday, soon to go onto their new home at Rhine, (Ja. During their stay they won many friends, who were sorry to see them leave. Dr. Lanford. fron Atlanta, is doing some-good work in this and other com munities^ extracting teeth by a painless process. The oyster supper given by Dr. bun ford at the residence of Mr. 1". W. Kan ister, on the night of the 20th, was highly enjoyed, lt was au occasion which will ever bc remembered by tiioso who \\ere present. OM account of the immense crowd the table was placed in front of the house. After the crowd had gathered around thc ta ble they were greeted with a song, "Happy Welcome/' rendered bj thc choir, standing on the veranda. Al ter partaking;-of i lie good things placed bc fore them they were again greeted with another song, "Poor Old .loe." windi was rendered by Pro!'. F. W. Banister, Drs. Bowen and Lanford. Prof. Ban ister and Dr. Lanford, alter making their appearance and buding that the song required three to sing it, called for "Bill," who responded from the backyard, and was found upon arrival to bc Dr. Bowen disguised as a darkey. The song proved to be very amusing. We shall not forget Dr. Lanford for his kindness and hospitality in giving us all such a pleasant entertainment. We are glad to say that the health of our worthy bachelor friend, Mr. Wm. Bauson, is much better. He is unable to visit'round, but his many friends call frequently to see him. These calls they flatter themselves to believe arc very acceptable on his part. PKARL. Good Hope Items. You have often had dots from the "Corner,'" Mr. Editor, but rarely ever from "Good Hope," unless it be tin usual notice, when after a blushing couple has sought the parsonage, and then after a few moments sent forth rejoicing and reveling in each other's beloved companionship. There have been many such notices, and for ought we know there may be many more. Cupid is still at work in these parts, and you would be surprised to hear of the conquests he has made, and is mak ing among the lads and lassies of our neighborhood. Good Hope Church is soon to have a new carpet, and other improvements are contemplated, such as repainting the Church inside. Mr. Luther Bowie, one of our pro gressive young farmers, has remodeled his dwelling house, which greatly adds to its appearance. Mr. Joseph C. Ligon is clerking for i Mr. A. S. Bowie, at which place he will I be glad to have his friends call into see him and wait on them. also. One of the attractive features of our neighborhood is the "store" of Mr. Albert S. Bowie, attractive, nor so much because his goods are stored in sucha large, grand and spacious build ing, but because we can not help being attracted, on account of the large sup ply of goods he has on liand, together with the rock bottom prices at which they are going. By dint of energy and business tact he has succeeded in es tablishing a splendid store of general merchandise, and by reason of the low prices at which he sells his goods, has succeeded in building up a fine trade. He buys everything usually found in a first-class country store, from a five cent lamp chimney, up to a Twenty-five dollar gold watch, and will sell as cheap as any one in country or town, any thing from the value of one cent up to the highest denominations of "Federal money.*' Mr. Bowie is determined not 1:0 be undersold by any merchant, in Anderson County, and promises to his customers the very best dry goods, supplies, etc.,# obtainable ar the very lowest prices possible. Besides his store, he has other enterprises at work, viz., a splendid ginnery complete, cot tonseed crusher, corn and saw mill, all of which is open to the general public. He hopes, before many weeks roll by, to have a postofiice. established at his store, which will be a great convenience to this immediate neighborhood. Mr. J. W. Reid, of ?cidville, S C., has been in this neighborhood terracing his lands. While here he won a host of friends, who will be glad to see him again. Mr. Wayman Hall is now in the em ploy of Mr. A. S. Bowie. Mr. R. A. Love, a popular traveling man. spent several Hays in our neigh borhood. We are sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Robt. Harris, which occurred last Thursday night. Mr. Harris had many friends in this neighborhood, who ure saddened to hear of his death. His remains were laid to rest in Generost.ee cemetery Sunday morning at ll o'clock, funeral services being conducted by Rev. J. V. Black. The sympathy of the entire community is with the be- 1 reaved wife and children in this sad hour of pain and anguish. 1 PAW NEK. I Corner Creek Shiftiugs.
