We learn that he was taken for a minister on the train at Hodges. Mr. Yates says it was on acccount of his good qualities, which beam from his countenance, but we suspect it was on account of his good looks. Col. R. E. Rowen, Vice-President of the C., C. (j. & C.

We hud ton days of beautiful fanning wont her. it is about time for one of our young men to visit Anderson Court house again. Prof. L. P. Kennedy and Mr. Payson Kennedy returned last week from a course of medical study in XeA'j York. We saw all three of our doctors go- j ing last week to see one patient. The Psalm Singer has an "Infidel" ; in its ollice. We are a little curious to \ know what department he will edit. If you take the first letter of U?S'ctte.c' i and the loiyth letter of " Prater" yon J will have respectively the first letters i in th<; family name of the two corres- j pondents that have boe.i discussing so j vigorously and ably the union between j the Associate Ueformed and United Presbyterian chure'nes in the columns of the Associate licformed Presbyterian. To help the guessing we will add they are both ministers. The Psalm iS'vnger comes out in new style and dress?a sixteen page paper anil neatly printed. Mr. R. W. lladdon received inos encouraging news concerning the (J. C. (?. & 0. rail road in an oilicial couiuiui ication recently. It is pitiful to see the sneers of souk; people at this road and that too after they have said publicly their opinion would cease. Words ate someumes cneap. And John P> right is to speak in Lindsay M ;il 1 again. I lis speech here thirty years ago is regarded by many us the linest ever devi'iered at any commencement occasion in Due West. l'rof. Hood has a copy, which he highly prizes. The heloved Miss McQurns who has been ill, we are glad to say is much better. She has lived a faithful life and even now, when past her four score years, she is like a ministering angel in every good undertaking. We acknowledge "the Industries of Atlanta" sent with the compliments of a friend. We have enjoyed a perusal of this pamphlet. A splendid statue of lien llili is on the frontispiece. A sketch of the "Exposition of cotton quiits" unci of the linn of Moore, Marsh & Co, we have read with interest as we havd friends connected with each. The output of the "Exposition mills" is 30,0(X) yards of eloth a day or ti.UOO.OOO a year. 1). N. Speer is its President. The Constitution makes ;i line showing also. We enjoy reading this sterling paper. We had the pleasure the other day of taking a in; al with Mr. II. C. Hrownlee and lady, who live some couple of miles out of town. They spread a most beaut:.ful table, have everything plentifully around them and Mr. Urownloe is energetic and pushing and is succeeding well, lie has a nice ulunlation of fresh iand. In a trip through the country we passed Cheataill's mills located on Turkey creek. It has a splendid water power and has a tine two story mill house, i>ut we were surprised to find that it was closed up on account of needing repairs. This ought not to be, some pushing individual ought to get hoid of this excellent locution. We acknowledge a package of papers consisting of a uunber of issues of the j Augusta (J/ironiclc. Among these are several copies of their centenial addition. They make a line showing for Augusta, the State of lieorgia and especially for the Chronicle itself. In last week's issue Prof. White presents his views on the negro and pronounces i hi in :l failure agriculturally an i the ( ! it t'/tr) i/ /o orwlitrc.'K vio trc iully. We do noi endorse the views of Prof. "White especially if the foreign im- | migrants that have come here are a sample of the Peasants that he would hav* to rake their place, which we believe o l?e impracticable. We believe the ne- 1 gro is here to stay, placed here by Pro- i vidonce and moreover we believe he is the best labor for cotton < and corn that the South will ever get. Wo take no stock in this crusade against him. He is easier managed than the white labor and much cheaper. It is a different thing to run an agricultural farm supported by the State with plenty of money, Irom a common farm with everything scanty. If Prof. White means simply as a tenant with no supervision his position is more tenable. Mr. Patton Kennedy had one bone broken in his ankle last Thursday by the falling of the platform trucks on it at Donalds. Maj. Nance lost a fine mule by gelting its leg broken in the stable last week. We guess he made enough recently out of the drover to replace it! The Missionary meetingo ccurs next Thursday evening. Mr. Stewart is the speaker. To an inquiry last week about early corn we received from J. H. Alexander of Augusta, the names of four varieties of line early field corn, "The champion white dent," "Blount's white proline,"Favorite golden dent," and "The golden beauty" each .$3.00 per bushel. These varieties all ripen in July and will supplement the short oat crop. All farmers should plant some of this corn this year. Mr. Alexander highly recommends "The Kotlir corn, the new forage grain," for both grain and forage. Is better than milo maize, stands drouth well and is adapted to poor land and makes two crops a year. Mrs. J. W. Power has been very ill for several days with no change. 1 no "l'eierKin cotton seed" is the great rage now. Besides a large yield it turns off 40% of lint to the 100 pounds of seed cotton. It is worth at Alexander's Augusta Georgia, .$1.50 a bushel. President Kennedy of Female college hfcfi been gracefully remembered. He now carries a hnndsomo gold headed cane. It was a present from his son Mr. L. P. Kennedy, while in New York *n<l is a beautiful token of affection. On lust Saturday evening wo great! enjoyed the sputi-monthly cxhihitio jriven at.the Due West Kctnale col log' These are private entertainments an only a few friends enjoyed this iiih which, however was excellent and we 111> with the public ones.

One of the cheif features o the evening was the reading at the clos of tho exereises of the pupils of a beau liful pei'in ?>v the talented Miss.Iemii T. Clark, who is on the stall' of t li< faculty. This touching poem was writ ten in imitation of Longfellow's Bridge It was scholarly, pathetic and beautiful We hope to be able to present it in ful to the readers of the M kskkxokk.
