There is perhaps no more puzzling ami unaccountable thing in v life than that of the names of peo- ^ pie, places, countries, nations, j mountains and streams; there is j however significance in names if j adequate data could he obtained as Sl to origin. When the white man v first landed upon shores of America v he found the red man in possessu n , and the only human inhabitants of j this country. Indian had his own , language and gave to beast, bird, ^ mountain and stream a name. The }1 names given by the Indians were soft, melodious, euphonious, pie- t turcsque and unique, and every * name was significant and full of j meaning. I Minnaliaha largling waters and t all of the streams were appropriately * named by the Indians, but the white man stepped in and made | some shocking changes in these r names. Among the fartherest re- r moved from the Indian name is ' that of tin* "Oudalee,'' sometimes ^ spelt "Oodaleo," now called Tiger. The way in which the change if l the name of this river from its li<>n or wild eat and thought it was j a tiger, from this incident it was \ ever afterwards called the Tig( r ? river. Some would-he historians j have said that this river took its name from a man, this is most ini- .| prohahle. A large majority, in a fact nearly all of the rivers retain ( their Indian names to this day, ' ami very properly so. No man by j right of discovery should give his or the name of any other man to a <1 river. il - u Jefferson Davis' Birthday c Celebrated. Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock (.' assemhled in the city park were a ^ remnant of Confederate veterans, William Wallace Chapter, Daugh- a ters of the Confederacy and many ^ citizens to honor the memory of our dead chieftain, Jefferson Davis, ;l president of the Southern Confed- a eracy, this the drd day of June the ( anniversary of his birth. T Rev. I)r. R. (i. Clifford opened t. the exercises with a most appropriate prayer, (apt. F. M. Fair ,, r ad t hi? roll of ('onfederate veterans j. t > whom would he given crosses of p honor. V. K. Del'ass, Fsq., do- p livcred the address, lie gave a jj short and authentic history of the real cause of the war between the |,: North and South, eulogized the p nohlc Lee and Jackson, and paid a deserving compliment to the cour- p age, fortitude and hravery of the Confederate soldiers. He paid a j,. glowing tribute to the women of j] the Confederacy, whose self-sacriticing patriotic devotion to the cause js should he rewarded by the perjietua- j, tion of their sacred memories by the erection of a monument so hicrh - o- VI that it would he the first to he }} kissed hy the rays of the rising sun and the last to l>e painted hy the p tints of the departing splendor of j, the setting sun. We say that the \\ same epoch that gave the names of ,.j Lee and Jackson to glory and fame, p should give the name of Jefferson ,, Davis to immortality. The name ()j should he written in characters of |M living light upon a firmament as j| radiant as the every letter was a j,, living star, that should grow bright c|j er and brighter through the coming ages as the embodiment of true, (_?, patriotic devotion to the cause for which we fought. He fought the ost strenuous buttles of the war as lief magistrate and executive, and worthy of our homage, and is no *s a hero than those who won j urels upon the field of battle. , 10 crosses of honor were delivered v the following veterans by Mrs. .

Tribute of Love. Mrs. Paulina, Gregory, widow of die ls?t4? J. T. Gregory, was born near Union City, Union county, i south Carolina, September 3rd, I IH'20, and died March 3rd, lhOo, lit ! the home of her daughter, Mrs. I Alia Reynolds, at Cedar Bluff, Clay county, Mississippi. in 1857 she moved with her husband, children and slaves to . Mississippi, settling in this (Moil- I roe) county near old Cotton Gin. After a few months residence in the new home a handsome dwelling, attractive in all its appointments, was erected. A generous hospitality to which was added the grace and charm of lovely daughters and courteous sons soon won for the family an enviable reputation that was admirably sustained- until by death and removal the dear old home was left in the hands* of strangers. Of a family of 13 children 7 remain to mourn the departure of a mother who was to them all a mother could be. Patient, gentle and wise and looking out ever for their lx'st interests, they can but love and bless her memory, striving to emulate her example of love, good will and generous Iteming towards all who came within her reach. She was in very truth a woman of whom none would speak disparagingly but who won dmd held throughout her life the highest esteem of those whose privilege and happiness it was to know her. Judgment, censure had no abid ing place in her heart. The mantlii j of Charity she held ever ready t<> shield from the critical eyes of the world, the faults and failures of the weaker ones. She loved to find the higher and better qualities of those about her and to lend an uplifting hand to the helpless. Of such a woman and such a life too much cannot he said, and pity it is the world does not know them better. Certain it is that her in> fluenee will live long after the tender hands are folded o'er the pulseless heart and the pain wearied eyes are closed in the dreamless sleep that liberates the Heaven lAmgry soul so glad to flee to the Father who welcomes to a home of endless day and eternal bliss. Of her sons and daughters two, Mr. Dave Gregory and Mrs. Joe Johnson remain near the old home. jtut po 1 ass u r: i nee Wm^over "Yonder" all may he again reunited, and, with new service and new song, and praise iu unison with the hosts of counties redeemed the Father who spcakfc peace to her sorrowing children. ; This brief tribute of esteem 6 from a lifelong Nkk.miiok am?

Miss Paulina Gregory, whose death in a beautiful and deserving tribute is chronicled in her home paper from which the above is taken, was Miss Paulina Sartor, a sister of the late \V. llenry Sartor and Dr. Danl.

Finally, all things were made ready; and chickens, oakos, pies, and many other good things were put in sight. Amf when your humble servant came to himself, he was surrounded by two nice baked hens, and you know it has been said that all Methodist preachers like chicken, and that is true in my case. Mr. Editor, when you feel like : vnn mm) ?i ^ .. ? willing [Urine, come up and we will give you a I good time. Recess lasted for one hour and a ! half. The young people, seemed to| he putting in good time. Services were called at '1 o'clock. The choir sang "We will Work till Jesus Comes.*' The afternoon service was spent in making addresses; and each one had the privilege of choosing his own subject. Rev. J. (i. Farr made the lirst address. He spoke of the lirst settlers in South Carolina, that is, the lirst Christian workers, and of the present. After a song. Mr. Joseph Sanders made a good, touching talk. Rev. J. 11. Crosby spoke of his work in Louisiana and said that preaching was not as pleasant there is it is here in South Carolina, lie jaid tin; Roman Catholics predominate, and you had to he very careful in order to break into their homes and get their children into a Protestant church. His talk was good and interesting. Rev. Felmet closed the services with a few remarks that suited the occasion. The closing hymn "How Firm a Foundation" was sung.
