A LETTER FROM HIV. HENRY CAITTHEN. VIITES lUTEtfSTlNGLY OF BIS NEW iWE-UND VOIDS FOB KINfiSTREE. Editor Conuty Record: North Augusta, S C, March 25: I am in receipt of s. copy of the new Record and hasten to say that I am delighted with it. Your new farm is attractive, and the contents aeoord with mj idea of what a county newspaper should be. Having been a newspaper man in South Carolina I have some knowledge of the Weeklies of the Stttte, and have no heeetancy in saying that your paper is the peer of any of them. It is a source of no little pleasure to me to see your improvement 1 trust f . you may continue to grow. It may interest seme of my Wil Ijanuburg friends (and i am prona to claim many stan Dch ones there) to know that I am most delightful* ly situated here ou the border of Georgia. North Augusta is the Carolioa section of the Georgia city and a most demrable place to lire; There are some two thousand people in the suburb. It is not a business town but distinctly a residence ' ,point. The wealthy Georgians hare mo*edjfrom Augusta to this place Vtoiuise of the elevation aud other / Natural attractions. The chief point of interest here is the Hampton Terrace hotel, the most costly and magnificent of Soutaein tourists hostelries. It cost more than a million dollars and charges from $9.00 tot$MH).00 per day for entertainment! There are now four hundred guests at the hotel, among them many millionaires?Marshall Field, the Chicago millionaire, Robt S Liucoin, Abraham Lincoln's son, J Ogden Amour, prejident of the Beef Tract, Edward F Swift, the Chica. go pecker, and numerous others who hare much of this world's goods. Among them we hare many friends of our beautiful Grace chaich. Our church is one of the handsomest in Augusta and from the Northerners we have secared a [good portion of the money that built it. Some nights ago oar young people gave an entertainment in the parlors of the Hampton Terrace and I stated to the guests the object of it. We passed around the bats and when they came back they contained soqae of the most dignified bills yon ever aw. Thoee folks do not deal in mlrer. When they tome to church they put paper on the plates. An old gentleman asked me the amount of the church debt aud when I told him gave 'me a#100.00 bilK They don't mind spending their money if they know where it goes. I find I them democratic and clever. Our Southern friends here are exceedingly kind. They are ever thoughtful of as. Soma n'ghts ago they came in large numbers to our home Winging handsome presents, in wood and when I asked for an explanation, was informed that the night was the fifth anniversary of onr marriage. I had fo?gotten it! Bnt,while we are splendidly fixed, having a chnrch that cost $12,000 ' and the best parsonage we hare ever occupied and a congregation of I wealth'and refinement, we can never forget onr three years Jin Kingstree and oar staunch friends there. It painful to leave the historic old ' town and we propose to [accept the namerons invitations we hare received to return. I am looking for- < ward with keen pleasure to a visit in the summer when I shall see my fe| good friend and enjoy some days on will please notify my choice friend, the mayor, that I will gi?e him more lessons in the art of fishing when the summer comes! With hest wishes, Henry Cauthen. SNAPSHOTS FROM SCRANTON AND VICINITY TRAVELING HAN IN HARD LUCKDEATH OF AN ESTEEMED CITIZENPERSONAL NOTES. Sceanton, March 27:?
