Our neighbor, the Herald, in a com

for a diamond Hold, a greater interest
in summer diversions and entertain

Death of Dr. (I W. Duvall.
It is sad to have to record the death
of this good man and prominent physi

manhood and usefulness nnd had been
in failing health for some time, but no

Doth propositions to make new coun

in the contest to carve Oil parts of Sulli
van and Waterloo townships for llonea
Path. We are not surptUed, and grati
fied at the result. W*0 think it best for
all concerned. I.am cub is a compact
county, growing in property, ami in the
near future, promising to be in the
front rank materially, as she is n>w
abroad of any educationally and
morally. As to the matter of conven
ience to a few citix 'iis, as the old coun
ties are laid oil geograi Ideally it cannot
happpn that every locality ran be
hi ought within a stone's throw of a
Court House. Our Laurens friends
and neighbors in Sullivan and Waterloo
must certainly be content with a lar^e
majority against the proposition. Let
us be n unit for the steady develope
