UNION, S. C., JUNE ! , lhCr>.
OUDALEE.
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

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.

Tu, truest. ?'
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.

Duck Pond Church Celebrates
Its 143rd Anniversary.
Mr. Editor: Allow mo a short
space in your valuable columns t<?
say a few words about tbe eelebra- 1
tion at tipper Fair Forest ?better
known as Duck Pond?on last Sun- i
day, May 2Hth, set apart by tbe i
church to celebrate its one hundred
and forty-third year. Sunday i
morning the sun rose bright and
clear, and sent its bright rays across
the continent and promised to bo a
lovely day, and so it was.
About 1) o'clock the buggies,'cav- <
riages and wagons began to roll on
the grounds; and they kept coining
till about 12 o'clock. The
grounds were covered with horses !
and vehicles. T1 e crowd was esti- i
mated to be about one thousand. i
Services were called about 11 :!>0 I
by Rev. C. P. Felinet. The first
song was sung by the choir, and
the congregation joining in. Miss i
Nannie Sexton, of I'nion, kindly
consented to he the organist in the '
morning service. After singing <
"leaning on the Everlasting Anns"
.1(1. Fai r led in prayer. Rev. Pel- '
met, pastor, read a lesson from ?
Psalm 13. And after this, he read <
some history of this church. In
seventeen sixty-two, thirteen persons
left their church on Rroad
River in the upper part of South
Carolina, and settled on Pair Forest
where they were again formed
into a church. In ten years their
menibership increased to one hundred
and sixty-seven. I
After reading this history, Rev.

dinner at 1: dO.
Mr. Editor, you ought to have
been there to see the good women
hustle around to get up the well
tilled baskets. 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.
This was a good day for all present
vnd I think every one enjoyed this
iccasion. So, Good-bye J. G. F.
