Recently she returned to this country, after soendiner a year under instruction of the great musician Burmeister in Berlin. Miss Kirkpatrick is not only a talented woman and a j finished musician, but is also an I exceedingly intelligent young lady, and will doubtless do much : to make the music department of the Normal and Industrial Col- I lege of Georgia one of the first of I the South* "Miss Mabel Kirkpatrick, younger daughter of Dr. Kirkpatrick, will leave within a few days for Chicora college, Green- : ville, where she is to teach modern languages.

Editor The Times: We have nothing of interest to eport from this section, so will -elate an incident of the war, speak a word of comfort to some >f the defeated candidates, etc. i And now Cousin John Jaggery tnd Uncle Jim Cansler, we vould advise you to just stop hat running or you will come up ill broken-winded one of these lays and then you will be a . barge on your friends. But we idvise you both to get you a plug nule, or horse, a one-horse wag>11 and go to peddling tinware. 3ut Cousin Jogn, if you should ake a notion to run again, we vould advise you to cut olf the ail end of your name?just run t John Gary-and you might ?et there. We have quite a vivid recolection of your Uncle Mart Gary rom '02 to 'G5, and we don't emember to have ever heard of lis running one time. Rut i< vas said of him that he could ight harder and curse louder han all the rest. We remember o have heard him cursing one ime when he was more than a nile from us. And now we will tell you a j rue story in summer of '61. The >art of the army to which we be-1 onged was stationed down James iver at a point called New Market Heights, which was a high j range of hills overlooking James ' iver, but more than a mile from be river. We could plainly see he gun boats manuevering up md down the river and every >nce in awhile they would fire on lur line, and one day a shell fell ust inside our line and killed 7 ;oldiers outright, and then a , >hell fell in our line which failed .0 explode. It was measured md, to my recollection, was 22 nches long and 18 inches in circumference. When stood on ts end, it resembled a small churn. Gen'l Lee walked this ine one day, he had his field jjlass and seemed to be counting he number of boats on the river. Between our line of battle and .he river was a fine field of corn, hen in roasting ear. Our picket ine, which was some half mile in 'ront of our line of battle, was lirectly through this field, and ,ve thought we were going to i lave a high old time eating corn, nit there came orders to the effect that not a single ear of that corn must be taken. Well, the .emptation was too great, and .vhile there was none taken right Uong the line, the boys would go ?tr at a distance and bring it in jy the arm-full, and we know , me fellow that eat 15 ears at one feed. Splinter. 1 I\ S.?A friend 'phoned us recently from Fort Mill saying that he believed us Gold Hillites had just quit work and were putting in all our time talking politics. What will we call this, now, a mistaken identity with him, or what? If he will just come up here and nicss with us awhile, he will find out that it is nothing but pure and undefiled Democratic, blue-blooded patriotism that we are all clogged up with. A man may be engaged to a ' woman ten years, but he will never hear that she has duties she owes to her relatives until after he has married her. WANTED To act as your Executor, Trustee, or Guardian.
