The party left,Newberry early in the day on Friday and traveled by way of the steel bridge and through the Coleman community to the home of Mr. Henry EIlis, arriving at 3 o'clock and enjoying with Mr. and Mrs.. El lis, a most excellent dinner, in fact, a real country dinner, which only those who know wIha that means can have any idel of tile repast which was spread before, tle visitors. This section of the county is one of the best rural contimities in tle sta-te. !The lands are fertile, the farmers prosperous. and everything has the oppoarance of confort and good livin. Mr. Pink Bouknight, whlo at one time lived in Newberry county, lives near by and three or four of his sons have settled in calling distance of his home, and Mr. W. E. Clary, who has two sons in Newberry, lives also in the community. In conversation with Mr. Clary, the qquestion, of course, of the weather came up, and ie remarked that his recollection of the cold spell in A'pril, 1849, was very distinct. He says that the snow which fell in tha.t year and in that month was on Sunday. the 15th day of April, and that on Monday it was -still very cold, and lie remembers that lie was a pupil at that time at the Mt. Enon Academy, and that, seventy pupils answered that morn ing to roll call andi( diriiinr the fifty ei,ht years since that April morniig fifty-ei,ri1 of those seventy have died. and twelve are still livi.r. Mr. Cliirv ha.s furnisniid The JTerald a News with the names o the sevenlty and they are published in this con neetion. The new iodge is located within one-half mile of where the old Mt. Enon Academy stood, and the lodge room is upstairs over a new school building, which has just been, erected in this district. In those days Mt. Enon was a famous school, and pu pils attended not only from the com munity, but from miles away 'and among the pupils were a number of Newberry boys and girls. The following is the roll call as fuit ished by Mr. Clary: Tle dead that answered roll call at Mt. Enon Academy, April 16, 1849, the day after the snow of 15th of April. 18-49. D)r.
