Ham mett, who leaves us to-day to assume his new position and duties at the Orr mill in Anderson, will bear with hint the best wishes ol'every one in our lit tle city. So closely has he been iden tified with every interest ol' the town as it has been developed that he will he missed by old and young alike. Coming to our (own as a permanent resilient some twelve years since, he has always seemed a part of the place and to succeed in a measure to the position in the hearts of the people left vacant by tho death of his well loved father, Col. H. P. Hammett, to whose energy and forethought Piedmont owes its existence. From starting pos itions as oiler, card stripper anil gen eral utility hand, soon he was promo ted to an oflice position as clerk, then to tins position of paymaster, which he has tilled for seven years to the satis faction of his employers, ns evidenced by his promotion to his present posit - ion. In the pursuance of his duties here he has disbursed $240,000 annual ly in payment for mill service, as well as paying for 10.000 bales of cotton each season; and it is said that ho has al ways met people in all that time with a pleasant greeting, under all circum stances and conditions. In his new position as assistant treasurer and sec retary at the Orr mill he may have seemingly received a promotion and attained a higher position, but wo doubt his ever acquiring any place or position in which he will bu held in higher esteem than by his old-time tried friends in Piedmont, who will at all times wish him the fullest measure of success.-Oorrespon(lenee of thc tfreenritle News. Autun Items. The health of our community, with the exception of the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen McAlister, who has been ill for a few days, is very good. Grain ia looking line, and with favor able conditions until harvest, there will doubtless be several barrels of "Billy Seldom" garnered in our neighbor hood. Tell the politicians to grease their ankles and get out on ihn road in good speed, so that if they should be defeat ed they will bo so completely exhaust ed that they could quietly rest, thank ing themselves that tho thing was over. The other day my friends and I chanced to raise the question: "From which, observation or reading, does one gain tho most knowledge?" Now, 1 be lieve that reading contributes the most to our knowledge. If there is any who has a different opinion we would be glad to hear their arguments. Spring is coming, and ere loug wo will hear ever anon the fields ringing with the voices of those who draw thc bell cords over their balsams' backs. BOB AMATEUR. Card of Thanks. Through the columns o favour paper I desire to express for myself and fami ly our most profound thanks. First), to the fire department for their prompt response to the call of the fire bell, and for their efficient services, which evi dently prevented the spreading of tho flames to other buildings on the premi ses. Next, to our friends and neigh bors who so bravely rescued a number of the horses from the burning build ing. To those we cannot lind adequate .expression for our heartfelt gratitude. And also for the many kind expressions of sympathy we feel deeply grateful. ; Sincerely, C. A. HEED. - As soon as the moon gets t'iisec-quartora it proceeds to getfall. Soles From IVI/.er. Mr*. I!.
