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.
