A Pleasant Social Event.
Editor County Record:
Your correspondent h?d t he
pleasure of attending a moon liglii
picnic at Hon. John $ Graham's
on the evening of Aug. 2, which as
an occasion of enjoyment. deserves
more than a passim: mention. Ar.
riving at Mr. Graham's in company.!
j with Mr. Avant, on the evening in
question, we found a crowd ol
young people already assembled, ;
and with the lawn well lighted up i
and decorated for the occasion,
the scene was like a glimpse of
lairyland. The young ladies present.
than whom none are to be
lound more captivating, moved to
and fro in the mellow, witching
moonlight, reminding one of a
tropical scene where beautiful
birds in beautiful plumage moved- j
about under a moonlight sky.
Seats were comfortably arranged
for those who might wish to do
homage at Cupid's shrine, and
there were many fx ho felt thusj
disposed. Others enjoyed games j
of various kinds till supper wasj
announced. The table was not
oalv loaded, but fairly groaned
with delicacies tit for an epicure.
The hospitality of the LSIack Mingo
people cannot be excelled and
those who availed themselves ot it
were not lacking in appreciation.
For pretty girls that vicinity is J
most highly favoied, and the young j
men saw that allot' theui received
their share oi attention.
The Misses Graham, Miss Cook
and their assistants are to be congratulated
upon the complete sue
cess of the affair, toward the enjoyment
of which they so largely
contributed. Another most pleasant
feature of the evening was the
delightful music rendered by Mrsj
George Cost in, Miss Moliie Graham
and Mr. Lawrence Steele.

For sixty years or longer he was i i
a member of tiie Presbyterian.v
church, first at the Williamsburg I j
Church, near Kingstree, then at ; *
Union, not far from his birth place. 1
Lie was an elder in the church ol'
his choice from about 1855 up tohis
death. Gentleness, modesty and
refinement marked his every day
life, and he never once forgot that ,
he was a gentleman. In his last (
illness lie was the same meek, <
gentle child of God, and I hav? 1
never seen one more appreciative
than he of kindness or respect J
shown him. His heart, which he r
gave to God so many years ago, :
heat in sympathy not only with )
his kindred and friends, but also (
for strangers; and God alone knows ^
who can take his place in bring- s
ing together those among whom i
coldness and east ran geinent may '

Died of Apoplexy.
The sudden death of Mr. S D M

SIr. Editor, witli your permission,
ve are going to nominate a man

physicians that impart blood is the
ause of the msyority of our diseases,
'wenty-five years ago this theory was uped

y this famous old household remedy are
ufficient to prove that the theory is correct,
