I boo the great heroino Is still sub ject to debate, yet the last Headlight seems to settio tho niattor of her mar rlago, death, etc., if not her burial. I wish beforo it's oold to add what I know about the matter. My father's family and Mr. John Hutchlmon's all took water from tho same spring from tho tiuio 1 was big enough to work till old enough to want to ecurt ono of his girls. Aunt Becca, as we called her, always claimed her mother, to bo the Mary Musgrovo of Horseshoe Rob inson fame. She olalmod to bo the daughter (which I know was so) of George Berry, whoso wife was Mary Musgrovo, and her grave was pointod out to mo tlmo and again. Sho win burled at tho old B?rry graveyard just bolow tho old homestead, and I never hearJ of It bolng disputed but that she was tho veritable Mary till a year or so ago. The Hutchinson family was a vory interesting ono for that day and tlmo, both educationally and in tellectually. The old man himself had a large library, and was the only man who took a newspaper In that sec tion. He had nine chlldron?seven girls and two boys?all of whom wore educated. I was, during my growing up, just as familiar with thorn as I was with my fathor's family, and to con elude it does soom that Aunt Rocos, ought to know who her mother was, ami that also Mr. John Ilntchonson ought to have known who his wife's mother was, as ho lived In the samo section of the county where ho married his wife And now tho Intelligence of tho Hutchinson community Is hard to boat. Tho lead in/ men thoroof wore woM known to mo, such as Matthew lloloday, John Dean, Thomas Dean, Charles Allon, John Todd. Matthew 11 unter. Jarnos Hunter, John Threat, Jarno? Hutohenaon, Dr. James DUlard, (Seulllotown), John MoOltntook. (War rlor ('reek), Henry Meredith, Robert Pattoreon, William Cowan, .Tamos Martindale, Jack Byrd, Samuol Now gon, Young Terry, 'Phos. McGill, Charles Smith, Thos. McCarloy and W. W. Hitch. Every one of the above woro substantial clti/.ons, evory ono educated, ovory ono a land ownor, and all except two or threo wore slave ownors. How thoy woro all so for tunate to bo so woll oduoatod in their day and time I can't toll, for they all must havo been born about tho heols of the revolution, for lomo of thorn ap peared to bo older and somo youugor than ny father, and ho was born In 1780. I never saw ono of thorn intoxi cated or hoard of one being accused of a criminal offense. They all formed what might bo callod a community.? Thoy had evory thing at home. Charles Allen was tho coroner, Cargll and Dil lurd the doctors, Todd and Jake Byrd tho merchants, John Dean and Win. Rose the toachors, Fowler and Hutoh on8on, tho brandy makers. They havo all long sinco died, and T would liko to toll how thoy all livod and workod, but tho articlo is too long now. J. F. Sr.oan. Tho abovo communication of Mr. Sloan appeared In tho Plodmont Headlight, An intelligent, but modest lady of Tylcrsvillo, a rela tive of the Romantic Mary wrltos In reference to facts stated in a commu nication to tho Falrflold News and Herald and copied In The ADVER TISER of recent dato and inclosing Mr. Sloan's letter says: "I soo in the Laureus Advhrtiser of May 3rd an article copied from the Fair 11 eld News and Herald entitled a "Historic Locality," containing a short sketch of Musgrovo Mills. It Is correct ox cept tho latter clause which statos that Mary Musgrovo Is burled on a rugged hillside ovor the rlvor. Mary Musgrovo la burled in tho old Berry graveyard near Warrior Creek. Sho marriod Capt. B?rry and was tho mother of four children, tho oldest of whom was my grund-mothor, Rebecca Berry, whu married John Hutchinson. Mary Musgrovo, tho heroine of Horse Shoe Robinson, certainly marriod and was my groat grand-mothor.

To glvo force to tho fact of Mary being a historic porson-igo ac woil as romantic, It comes weil au thenticated to tho wrltor that Horse Shoo Robertson oortalniy was.

On this tour ho gathorod the faots and Incidents and skotohos of many of the porsonagos Immortallsod In his story. Near Pendleton he met Horso Shoo, who was a blacksmith, residing In the bond of a creek, which gave to his name its distinguishing feature. From Horso Shoo himself tho author got tho main Incidents of this historic romance. Yoars after wards when tho book had won groat popularity, Konnody wrote to a frlond in this county with a viow to securing a picture of tho horo, for a now odl tlon, but Horso Shoo had joined tho great exodus to the fresh pastures of Alabama and Mississippi and a coun terfeit prosontment of the horo'a fea tures "was lost to posterity. In 1850 or 1851 Kennody then a feoble old man, oamo South with his "Whig Chief, Flllmoro, visiting the Capital of this State, whoro he was more hoartlly ro eelved than his Whig Master and uni versally weloomod as "Horso Shoo." A roceptlon was hold by Flllmoro at tue old Hotel in Columbia, afterwards tho Catholio Seminary, from which hundreds of bright and beautiful glrl9 wera turned into tho streets and tho building burnt on tho night of tho olty's destruction In 1805. A FARMER'S TROUBLE. Lowndesvillo, S. C, May 7th, 1808.?R. F. Gordon a well known farmer of this plaoe,Btates that he was a great sufferer from indiges tion and was obliged to follow a certain diet. He weighed only 180 pounds when he began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, but after the use of two bottlos of this medicino ho gained 18 pounds, and when ho had taken six bottles he was able to follow his plow all day without any fatigue. Hood's Sareapr.rilla also cured him of pimples. The War is On but it wont be necessary for all to go and tight. Our coun try's needs are not urgent as yet. For most of us the path of duty lies in the direction of working on, providing for our households. If any are sick better go to The Laurens Drug Co. for medicines. It's the skill of putting together, as much as the proper ingredients that makes a prescription right. Better go to The Laurens Drug Co. Todd Block. \ i Sheriff's Sales for June, 1898.
