The following resolutions were adopted by the Pleasant Hill Sunday school September 13, li)03: ( Whereas, The spirit of R. W. Walker , has been taken to its reward. He was , energetic, active, and impressed by mo- , lives of a high quality. He joined the j church quite youug, shortly afterwards ( united wit h the Sabbath school and has , been-ever since ready and willing to dis- ( charge any duty incumbent upon him. j As it has pleased God to separate us from , his kind and modest companionship, we have lost his valiant presence. Therefore j be it resolved: First, that while we,, with his parents, sisters aud brother, mourn the loss, we ] bear submissively to the will of our Heavenly Father, believing that He doeth j all things for the best. Second, that a copy of these resolutions | be inscribed in our minute book to bis j memory and a copy be published in the , county papers. We, the chosen committee, G. W. Hughes, , J. G.

Ui.mer, September 26.?Mr. Editor: The facts referred to will be "chestnuts" to some but will be uew to a majority of the readers of The Herald. The late Ubas. bmitti, *'13111 Arp , u&u a uciguuui prior to, during the Civil War, and several years afterwards, by the name of William Arp. The latter was a plain, practical farmer, and only a zigzag fence separated the lands of the two honest yeomen ?the one to "the manor born", the other, in the parlance of the day, a plebeian. The twain would often meet at the line fence and "cuss" and discuss the topics of the day. Mr. Smith would eagerly listen to the odd and unique ideas and expressions of his friend, and then return home and indite them on paper and in a fewr days those ideas would be in the public print, perused and "ruminated on" by thousands of readers throughout the land. All kuow that Mr." Smith possessed a store house of wisdom and originality of thought, but it was the pecul.ar notions of his neighbor-friend that he wished to convey to the world, and iu his early writings ofteu purposely mispelled words in order to do so. On one occasion there came a terrible freshet in a nearby stream, the Tombigbee. William Arp had a hog pen on the hillside of the said stream containing several hogs. A cloudburst fell late one afternoon and the creek, like a Johnstown flood, overflowed its bauks, and next morning Mr. Arp went to look after bis stock and behold, the pen had been swept away by the rushiug waters from the face of the laud. Meeting Mr Smith, who had also repaired to the river to see the extent of damages, etc., be said: "Well, lnabor' my pen, swine and all have gone on a 'scursiou down the Tombigbee. Away back in the sixties, the writer accompanied a notable character, Major "I'l Pomniiill 1-WklmtW In "thfi ?J , U4 uiu iiaiunvu wmmvj , -? ? city by the sea." He, like the Edgefieldian, Ned Bruce, (Bacon) had a penchant for having fun wherever he went. Meeting up with the late Dr. B , of Aiken county, they went to the drug house of Dowie & Moise and on coming out the major said the doctor had bought all the pills, powders, and pullakens the firm had in stock. Having spent three or four days in the city, purchasing goods, seeing the sights, visiting some of the forts, etc., the major and the writer boarded a train for Bamberg. A mile or so from the city, the conductor entered the door and hallooed "tickets." When he approached the major, the latter said: "Cap, I have ao ticket or the 'tiu' to pay my fare; uow, what are you going to do about it?" The captain replied: "Well, if your friend liere can't lend you the money, you must get off at the next station." Major B retorted: "My seat-mate and I are just from 'Dead-brokenborough,' and can't scare up a ha' peuuy." With a shrug the 2onductor passed on. Before reaching Summerville the newsboy came in with tiis papers and books; among the latter was an epitome biography of Bill Arp. The Major opened one of the latter at the frontispiece and gazing at the picture lwhile said: "Why, that is an imposture; you see that is not a true type, and even the autograph is not a facsimile and I will flammergast the publishers for such i burlesque." The newsboy passed through the coaches and "norated" that the renowned Bill Arp was aboard. Passengers and train crew soon came in the aisle craning their necks and leaning nverthe seats to get a look at the so-call3d great humorist. At Branchvillesever i\ of the citizeus came to the windows to < get a glimpse of the Georgia writer, and numbers left the waiting Columbia train, ran across the v-shaped platform, and some of the ladies even passed through ,he doors of the "no tick" bar-room to 1 get a peep. One lady passed through the entire length of the coach facing Major B and wore a rather short 1 iress of cheesecloth or sarcenet when he, a'ith u lnnt nf drv hnmnr in his eves. subtlely remarked: "I bedadgummed if that woman oughtn't to retire to her bouJoir and finish her toilet." The incident had created so much curiosity and pleasurable excitement on [he train that the conductor followed the major to the waiting-room and importuned him to continue his journey to Augusta and his car fare should be?nil, but Lie was just opening a store about 25 miles in the country and had to forego [he kind invitation. Of course he had banded up his ticket before reaching Brauchville. Newspaper Grumblers. Written for The Herald. Grumbling about newspapers is as ancient as newspapers themselves. And, notwithstanding the multiplication of these modern conveniences, and the sleepless efforts of publishers to adapt their papers to every variety of taste and every grade of sentiment, affording, one might think, ample opportunity to readers to suit themselves perfectly; yet there is still, perhaps, as much grumbling about newspapers as tl^ere ever was. We suppose it does not often occur to the grumblers that possibly they themselves may be at fault?may be unreasonable, may expect impossibilities, may be out of humor, or may be stupid or unappreciative. It may never occur to them that the men who toil night and day to furnish them with the latest news, the greatest variety of information and entertainment, are mortal, and sometimes get tired and sleepy themselves and need, aud deserve, too, some consideration and even sympathy from those for whom they unceasingly work. Fault-finding readers seem to forget that a newspaper cannot be made for general circulation and yet in everything exactly suit any one person. A thoroughly good, enterprising newspaper is really like a well spread dinner table; it contains variety as well as quantity, something for every taste, and enough of each kind to satisfy any reasonable appetite. Just so it is with every well edited paper. No one is expected to read everything in the paper, or to like everything if they read it, but every one is expected to find enough that is good, and useful, and agreeable, in the ample columns spread out before them to be a full equivalent for what the paper Cost, and if they happen to find on the carte an article that offends their taste, or is in opposition to their views, they have just to let that alone and leave it for another whom it will just suit, and for whose taste it was gotten up.

The annual reunion of the surviving members of this historic old command, j which had been looked forward to with much pleasure for some weeks past, was held at Ehrhardt last Thursday, and was largely attended by the old veterans, their wives, sons and daughters. The reunion was held in the beautiful grove near Mr. C. Ehrhardt's resideuce. ' The meeting was called to order by Capt. J. B. Hunter, chairman of the executive committee, and Co. G fell in line, only twelve in number. Capt. Hunter introduced the survivors as the remnant of Co. G of the 1st South Carolina Volunteers, which was organized at Barnwell court house in 1861, consisting of 103 young men, their ages ranging from 17 to 23 years, only three married meu in the company, and surrendered at Appomattox court house in 1865. Capt. Hunter then spoke of the death of our late captain, whose death had occurred since the last reunion, Capt. R. J. Steedly,and suggested that, according to military rule, First Lieutenant J. J. Copeland should be promoted to the captaincy of the company, which was unanimously done. The following resolutions were then unauimously adopted: Whereas, God in His wise providence has removed from our midst our late captain, R. J. Steedly. Resolved, That his death removes a gallant and noble gentleman, endeared to us by many virtues. Heroic in courage, steadfast in principle, our commander and friend, his loss can never be replaced. We herein express our sense of his great worth and we will ever cherish the memory of his virtues and courage and keep that memory bright until the last of his comrades here answers the last roll call on the final day. Second, That a page in our company roll book shall be devoted to his memory, and his virtues aud character be embalmed in our memory forever. Theu all Confederate soldiers present, numbering about forty, were called into line, and Col. F. H. Creech, of Barnwell, took charge of them aud drilled them around and finally marched them up in front of the staud, where Capt. Hunter introduced E. T. La Fitte, Esq., of Denmark, as the first speaker, who made a fine historical speech. Col. F. H. Creech, sheriff of Barnwell county, who was a member of the 1st S. C. v., was next introduced and made a good speech. He spoke of all the me auderings and history of the company and regiment from Fort Sumter to Appomattox court house; he spoke very highly of Co. G and gave the young people some good advice. Capt. W. Gilraore Simms, clerk of court of Baruwell county, was then intro- ] duced, and as usual, made a good speech, after which a prayer was offered and the . benediction pronounced by Rev. E. P. Monroe, pastor of Mt. Pleasant Lutherau ' church. The committee of arrangements, which ( was composed of sous of veterans, took charge and marched the old soldiers to a ^ specially prepared and separate table, where they were well fed and waited on , by the good women of the Ehrhardt sec- ( tion, who know how to feed people and have the wherewith to feed. God bless the women of Ehrhardt and surrounding 1 country. There was a large crowd and enough good things to feed them three . times over. ' Messrs. George J. Hiers. J. D. Padgett, I. W. Carter, G. L. Kinard, the sons aud committee of arrangements, registered the names of all the Confederate veter- ans, and the following is a list of the same: Col. F. H. Creech, Co. C, 1st S. C. V.; Capt. J. B.

Siclc and nervous headaches are amongst the worst ills of life. The man or woman who is subject to headache at irregular intervals, goes through life bearing a load of misery and wretchedness that is terrible to think of. Headaches as a rule, result from a disordered condition of the nervous system. Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting causes. When the brain becomes tired and debilitated, the whole nervous system is weakened, and headaches result. If the liver is sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion deranged, headaches invariably follow. To j cure and prevent headache, the nervous system must be strengthened and vitalized. The most persistent cases of headache, nervous feebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the great reconstructant of the nervous system. Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich., tells of her release from suffering as follows:? " I have been troubled with dyspepsia and sick headache for a number of years. About every week I would have a bad spell of sick headache, but since I began using Paine's Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and I do not have any more headaches. I feel better than I have for years." Xo Need Soiling the Bands with DIAMOND DYES Diamond Dy?? are easy and cleanly to use. Made for home economy; never disappoint.
