TilK OSWICIIKK XKKillllOlillOOD.
The Observation* af ii C'olumbuslte Who Makes a
Brief Visit to that Vicinity.
Enquirer-Sun: It was the pleasure of your
correspondent to sojourn recently (only too
briefly) in what is familiarly known as the
“Oswichee neighborhood.” This designation is
verily an appropriate collocation of terms, ut
once in the euphonious name thus transmitted
fVom the Indian tongue, anil in the character of
its people as implied iu the latter word of the
phrase. The Indian is fast disappearing from the
face of tho earth, and it is well that the
English vocabulary, however fortunately
composite already, should be yet farther
enriched by inheritance from the Indian language
before it becomes finally as dead as tho Indian
himself. The ‘‘brother in red” lingered as long
in Oswichee as the Creek and other wars allowed
his continuance in this part of our country;
whence he must go west, over and beyond that
soil of Alabama, whose name (with its signifi
cance of “Here We Rest”) was a mockery as he
thus took his line of march to the "brother
already ahead of him. Long live the Indian
tongue among us, if its speaker must needs have
gone, while among those names to which we
have fallen heir, those will perhaps he'longest-
lived whose special melody is recognized in the
termination “c e” (double e.)
The living white race being at once of more
interest and far mure importance than the dead
or banished Indian. Oswichee derives its chief
consideration from existing relations, anil from
none more so than those features which, in the
highest sense of the term constitute good neigh
borhood. The Oswichee community has the ad
vantage of having now been time-tested, while
similar undertakings have mostly come wholly
to grief, or arc now the mere remnant of former
prosperity. Rich, virgin soil, partly on river
bank, and all adjacent to river and city, tell the
story of its first attractions; planters from
middle Georgia and elsewhere being
lb us pioneers, and cowing to
“verdant fields and pastures new”
with Die personal skill and trained labor already
acquired upon acres now become too few for the
“field hands,” who has multiplied and been
reared in their possession. A continuous resi-
d-nce of more than fifty years of adult life in the
person of the venerable William Alexander is the
most distinctive single proof of those “qualities
which wear well” in the soil and other features
of the place. In the preference which is properly
given to that place of residence accessible to the
physician, preacher and teacher, the city is
sought at the expense of the country. It is the
good fortune, however, of Oswichee to have bad
an exceptional proportion of capable and devoted
men in her “apostolic succession,” the wisdom
of Solomon seeming to have been perpetuated in
the name and, perchance, the lineage of the
present incumbent of the Methodist church;
while the physicians have been “country doc
tors” only in name, and-her teachers have been
known, some to fame, while others have been no
less efficient in directing the character and in
telligence of youth. The homogeneous feature
is perhaps the most distinctive element and the
truest criterion of the “good name” so long
maintained by this community. Numbeis are
quite sufficient to have occasional dissensions;
the “disturbing element” is numerically in the
ascendant; there is every diversity in “means,”
“religion,” education, habitation and other
earthly advantages. Yet their ways have been
ways of pleasantness, and their paths have been
those of peace. The enterprise of the com
munity is shown in an agricultural
club, composed not alone of the immediate
residents, but adjacent parties. In pursuance of
the more distinctive rurposes of the club the so
cial element is brought to bear in a monthly
“feast” of something besides “reason,” while
the “flow of soul” forbids the “flow” ol aught
that is contraband. Woman’s agency is herein
seen, as well as in other features of co-operation
in tlio club of which she is here a member.
The crops of Oswichee have suffered from
causes, mainly unpropitious seasons common to
the country at large, yet arc represented to be
better than those of most sections contiguous to
Columbus.
A shadow has fallen over the spirits of the en
tire community in the resent death and burial,
in their midst, of Mrs. Arabella Nisbet.resident for
more than forty years.and wife of Hon. F. A. Nisbet
himself having died during the last year. In re
cognition of the character of the latter, the com
munity have put a memorial tablet over bis re
mains, while the latter is just buried in the un
divided affection and honor of those among
whom and to whom she devoted a lite so long
and beautifhl.
Mention is due of “the blood of bulls ami
goats,” trotting stallions, brood mares, the “im
proved hog, Guernsy and Jersey cattle in varia
tion of a herd of Devon, and divers other proof of
fled “industry” of the people.

Fair and square dealing, coupled with courte

habitant of Columbus anil surrounding country
that favor the Central Drug Store, Evans &
Howard, proprietors, with their patronage. We
| are never too busy to give information or show
I our goods, whether you buy or not. In the last
p stock | few days we have received a lot of the prettiest
and b eat ma( j e Tooth Brushes to be obtained;
specially imported for our trade. So much
trouble is experienced from the bristles coming
out of brushes. In the one we are offering this
objection is obviated.
We are now headquarters for the Oakley Soap
anil Perfumery Company, and have on display a
magnificent line of their goods we are selling at
living prices. Our stock of Hair, Tocth, Nail and
Scrubbing Brushes, Ivory, Celluloid, Rubber and

every style, make and price always on hand. We
stock every new preparation in the Drug, Chemi
cal, Patent Medicine, Perfume, Soap or Toilet
line as soon as brought to notice. Many articles
can be found in our varied stock that cannot be
obtained from other sources.
To the smoking public let us say we have re
cently received large additions to this depart
ment, and we think there is no stock of Cigars
in this section equal in quality to ours.
Recent heavy additions to our Toilet Goods
line now gives us the largest, most meritorious

Give us a call, let us price you our goods, and we
