A Trip to Plat Springs. Saluda Mills, Newberry, Co. j Messrs. Eds: I received a letter last Friday inigh Aug. 17, stating that my sister Nane3 living at J. L.

C. -A LIFE SAVED!I IT IS NOW HIS VADE MECUX. Mr. H. (C. Ermi.ger of the firm< Eringer & Goldsmith, large Caud manufacturers Atlanta Ga., cheerful] and gratefully, gves us the followin wonerful facts: "I reached Westminster August ti 19th., that night I was seized with violent attac of Cholera Morbus Fifteen actions on the bowels occurre in less than four hours. The pair kept on increasing and the actions o my bowels were more frequent. Ti usual remedies, Paregoric, Jamaic Ginger, &c. The symptoms wei growing worse and these remiedit were more than useless.

Before I began themu of this medicine I was in th rate agony, my bowels unche4ged, and was so completely exhausted t sarcely to be able to speak above whisper. The relief wasso sudden an so complete, that I could hardly reali2 it and I knew no bounds to the expres son,- of my gratitude for the reined that saved me from impending deati I now feel, I am doing a serivce to m fellow-men in letting them know it merits that they also may have its al in time of their danger. The traveling salesmen of the Wholi sale Grocery tirm'of A. C. Wyly, A1 lanta, Ga., Mathewson the Hotel pr< prietor, and others will cheerfully te' ify to the above facts." 'Truly and gratefull y ous Satfes Talka. I have been sick, sick all over, and for so many weeks, that I am weaken e. ed, and don't feel very well no how. re Home chicken does net agree with me, h and when I am able, I go to the home k of a country cousin and try the bird d there. There is quite a difference as .to where it is eaten-no doubt - theI e knowledge that the home chicken costs 20 ets., and the country chicken is not bought at all, has some thing to do with it. I think so. I went to cousin Sim Brown's house last Thursday. and e. was told that he lived seven miles from n the-Court House, on the Joe Caldwell at road. but found the distance eight and it a half. Seven miles from town ! How is many of my cousins are just seven s. miles off, north, south, east and west, in Prosperity, Jalapa, Beth Eden, Silver e Street, all seven miles ; and each place it filled with cousins, and my horse is so ,o accustomed to the seven mile trot, that is it is diffieult to get him farther. The e extra mile and a half to Cousin Sims ie was more than that highly educated yf animal bargained for, and I had to talk is to him in tones both loud and deep to ie convince him that some people lived -s farther off than others. Horses are intelligent. The distance was made however, and the house found at eleven O'clock, off fromthe road about a quar et ter of a mile. It is a large, substan e tial, comfortable and c'onvenient house, r. and it is full of young Browns, but S-why it was built so far from the road, ir puzzles me. It was built afterthe war re and perhaps recessed to be free from t road tramps, and night lodging hun ters. Be that as it may it stood invit 1. iugly prominent to my view. t-Cousin Sim is d good fellow. intelli d gent, and a good farmer, but like most n others following the same profession, is now realizing how difficult it is .to t. make corn and cotton without rain. te Poor follows all, I sympathize with y- them deeply, and bid them keep a stiff if upper lip, and tight breeches. Surely d a better time is coming. I saw some d patches of corn which looked well. h Tom Chalmers, Carter Wilson, Antine Buzhardt and others on that road seem to be living. While waiting for dinner, I asked our cousin if he knew how our tf town Mollohon derived its cognomen. Le he answered that there was no cog t about it, but that four men-Messrs. 's Henry, Nathan and Jack Whitmire, e and Edward McMorris, all four hail p: ing from the country Mollohon, came n to town, settled, and having money e enough, bought the block, or the land n on which the block once stood, and ee named it Mollokon, in hofor of the a place they' came from. Well, from 1- whence the name of the original Mol e lohon. Scratching his head, cousin' . Sim said; it was so named after an i old and eccentric woman, whose name was MOLL, who lived in that settlement, e and whose chief pleasure it was to sit .r and lie about in the festive sunshine r amid the rocks. In the neighborhood , of Mr. Joe Caldwell's there is now a e huge rock, bearing the name of "Moll's ,r rock," from the fact that it was one of her trysting places. So much for Mollohon, and now for dinner. It was a good dinner, a country dinner, there f- was no pate defoi gras, nor yet birds 1 nest, orfricandeau of puppy t la chinese, but there were other condiments. bet >f ter and-more to my taste. - Late in the afternoon I beat a re d treat for home, and the horse realizing - that eight and a half miles lay between him and his oats made the trip better . than that - of the morning. On the y way, a little girl in front of a farm p. house was asked if her mother had any k butter for sale,. "no" said she, "but d aunt Sallie has some." "Where does aunt Sallie live ?" "In Gainsville, n Ga.," was the reply. I suppose Aunt . Sallie had written to her mother, and e among other items of news had im y parted the intelligence of having but t ter for sale. It was then about six i o'clock, the sun heavy and ready to dip behind the western hills, and I r thought it best not to go in search of e aunt Sallie and her butter in Gains r flle, Ga., but to get home, which I . did, feeling much better than when I started. d The Tabor Picnic. Last Thursday morning we set out in company with a brotherquill-driver, to the school exhibition and pienic at Tabor church. We were driving, or attempting to drive, a mule-we had been more successful at driving the quill. .The Mule demurred to the pro ceedings, and the demurrer was sus 'tained, without argument. - January was promptly exchanged for a horse. ra A late start was followed by a late ar e rival, and when we reached Tabor the exhibition was over, dinner had been y eaten,-and the table cleared. We were o not too late, however, for dinner;, and s~ from what was left, we are disposed to r think that what was eaten was smp s tuqus, s The school at this place has been , under the charge of the Rev. J. K. a Efird. The morning exercises, which o we were so unfortunate as to miss, . consisted of the sping of extracts Sby the boys and girls of the school, a and;a valedictory essay by Miss Maggie a Monts. Those who witnessed the ex s hibition, and who were capable of judging of its merits, bestowed the u highest praise upon Mr. Efird and a his school. The children seemed satis li-fed with the manner in which they had acquitted themselves, and their e parents looked equally happy and con e tented. r We were pleased to learn that the Tabor school does not depend upon the public school fund for support; but that it guarantees a stated salary, and deducts from the tuition any sums that may accrue from the public fund. This - accounts, in great measure, for the success of the.school. In the afternoon the crowd reassem bled in the church, completely filling it. A piece of organ music was played in good time by two little children, a vboy and a girl, of Mr. Sam. Sligh of SFlorida, after which addresses were g delivered by the following gentlemen, who were pleasantly introduced by the e Rev. J. A. Sligh: Jacob L. Bowers, a Henry Counts, M. M. Kinard. Ge.o. G. . Sale, and Geo. ~B. Cromer. It had d never been our pleasure to hear the s three first speakers in public, but in a our judgment their speeches on this e occasion, were highly creditable to a themselves as well as to their training. e The exercises were interspersed with a music, Miss Carrie Sease performing' y on the organ. L. We left Newberry in the dust, but e in many places on the way, we splashed d through mud and water, a heavy rain a having fallen the preceding'afternoonl. e The crops aloftg the roadY from New 4 berry to Tabor are much injured by I the long-continued drouth, but they a are a greatdeal better than the aver a age of the other crops that we have l seen this year. e POST OFFICE, lNawrax- C.

We suggest that a competitive drill be tween the Palmetto Volunteers, of Prosperity. and the Newberry Rifles would be a very interesting feature.
