Jack Frost has touched the foliage with his heavy lingers, and the trees are shedding leaves, crimsoned with their life blood, ambered by ago and brightened by the lingering tints of emerald. The woods are beautiful to behold. There is a mellowness and a richness about the leaves just now which is seldom ever seen. It is attrib utable in part to the unusually delight ful weather of the present fall, and to the lack of cold weather. If you are a lover of nature go out and enjoy the "pleasure of the pathless woods." The South's magazine, Thc Alkahest, Atlanta, Ga., for November is a very excellent number. A serial, "Gen.

'"The Major and the Colonel" is a racy and hu morous story of the old days, Alabama's humorist, Wellington Yandiver, mana ger of the Alabama Chautauqua. A son of Abe Stewart, a negro living on J. Y. Kay's place, on Saluda River, went out hunting a few days ago, and, failing to return, his people began a search for him and found his body near the river bank. His gun was leaning against a bush and his hat was hanging on the sume bush. Thc body was found a few steps away. The gun, it is thought, was accidentally discharged, the load entering his abdomen. His faithful dog kept watch, over the body until he heard thc boy's father passing, when he ran barking and led him to thc spot. A friend writes us as follows from Buford, Ga., under date of the 17th inst.: "Last evening a reception was given at thc residence of Mr. H. H.

Browning, one of Buford's most popular young men. At 10 o'clock Miss Webb and Mr. Browning lead the assembled guests into the dining-hall to partake of the delicious refreshments. The oc casion throughout was most enjoyable and every one present regretted when the hour for departure arrived. Miss Webb has made many friends herc." The Greenville Xcirs of yesterday contained the following account of a painful accident which happened to our clever friend, John M. Geer, for merly of this county: "While trying to board a freight train at Gainesville, Ga., at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon John M. Geer had both bone:, in his right leg broken just below thc knee. He is now in bed at his residence in Highland avenue, this city. Mr. Geer was struck by the iron step of the mov ing train, but not only succeeded after ward in boarding the train but walked half a car length down the coach and took a seat before discovering that his leg had been broken. When he seated himself in the car he saw that his leg was bent at an angle. But even with this discovery he did not realize what had happened until he binned over and tried to straighten out his leg. He was carried to Lula, Ga., where his leg was temporarily bandaged. Arriving here at 5.20 p. m. on the Southern's north bound vestibuled his leg was set by Drs. T. T. and C. B. Earle. Greenville has not a more thoroughlyjbeloved and honored citizen than John Geer, ant! the sympathy with him will be univer sal. The accident is particulary un fortunate at this time when he has sc many important matters to attend to but he is enduring the pain and loss oj valuable time with the quiet courage that characterizes him always."
