Mr. lladen Kceter, father of our fel

fell last week and seriously injured him
self. Mr. Keeter is one of the oldest set

We are pained to chronicle the death of
Tony, son of Mr. John L. Keefer, of
Town Creek. He was attending school in

Mr. J.B. Debord relates to ns his ex

embarked in this business. A clear profit
of $72 over and above expenses is a re
markable attainment for a fanner in this
country. Mr. Deoord’s experience may
profit those engaging in this lately devel

Facts about HerOrgan
izati n and Name,
Tb we i* a commonplace trend and an
| air of pmaaic monotony about tbe parsing
: event* of today, Mid although character
ized by the brilliancy of the times, they
lose their spell on the minds of men a
recurring sceues replace the foirasof llieir
rapidly rcttcatiug predecessors, ibe rest
less spirit of man seems to tiud a satiation
in the flurry and glare of events of the
honr, and men look not upon their splen
dor as a tliiug of legacy. But not so with
tlie things of long ago. The disposition of
men is rather to regard even the most staid
and common tiauaactions of early history
with a partial favor and veneration. A
singular halo clusters about the doings of
our nnmeval predecessors,and the ordinary
affairs of their ways gather richness and
effulgence hy the lapse of time. TLe must
of years lends an air of romnnee to the
trite and commonplace affairs of our fore
fathers, and instead of taking their recep
tacle in tbe vaulted mausoleum of oblivion
they increase in volume and public venera-
tion us each succeeding generation treads
the pathway ot history one more lifetime
distant from the scenes of their progenitors,
i here is a winsome fasciuation about their
antiquity that links us with the glories of
the past, and we cherish them as a tradi
tional inheritance of fiction rather than a
thing of reality. So it is with the early
history of Pickeus county, the chapter
reads like a book of romance, and the
simple statement of her daily routine of
affairs seems to be, in tne light of the past,
the web of a vivid fancy or the fabrication
of a fruitful imagination.
During the recent term of Pickens Su
perior Court a Courier man while visiting
the scene of Justice’s doings, sought out
two of her oldest citizens and from them
learned scraps of Pickens history that
shine like the glamour of fiction. Mr.
Janies Simmons and Col. Lemuel J. Ai
red are ttie men whose hoary locks arc the
finger-boards of her history, and their
reminiscence of men and things prioi and
during the organization of Pickeus as a
county of Georgia are indeed interesring
to oue of to-day.
MR. SIMMONS
moved to his present home on the old
Federal road, two miles west of Jasper,
that Gen. Hickory Jackson’s Army cut
on its famous march from Athens, Ten
nessee, to Athens, Georgia. It was back
in the days of the thirties, when the
stealthy tread of the red man lurked be
neath the encroaching footsteps of civili
zation, and all this entire section, known
as the Cherokee domain in Georgia, was
called Cherokee county. H; moved to
this country in 1833. five years before
the removal of the Indians by the Feleral
Government. His home is known tar
and near as one of hospitality and wel
come, and it served as a hotel iu the early
travel through this entire sectiou by
horse-drovers and general travelers. The
place is on a gradual eminence, shaded by
the ceaseless twitter of tall and stately
aspens trees and the old mansion bears
the image of its original styles and cus
toms, and its weather-beaten visage shows
the remorseless ravage of time. It is
dotted.on its outskirts by large chestnut
tress that have each year borne their
fruitage of burs that have gladdened the
heart of many a little urchin. The old
homestead has an air of warmth and wel
come, and every one who knows the spot
points to its time-honored identity with >■
proud veneration. Mr. Simmons was 84
years old the 1-itli of last month; liis
people kuow him, and love and venerate
him. His life has been one of ceaseles
activity, liisseryices have been invaluable
to bis . onntry, bis character is spotless
and above reproach his name is a syno
nym of liom.-ty and integrity, and his
word is regarded as a bonded oath. The
old gentleman is in his declining years,
and although his hearing is seriously un
paired his eyesight retains its youthful
perceptibility with remarkable accuracy.
He stated to the Couhieu man that lie
could kill a squirrel with a rifle gun now
almost as well as at period of his
life. He has occupied several places of
note and distinction among his follow
citizens as a reward of his meritorious
worth He twice represented this dis
trict in the Georgia Senate, and was a
member of the Georgia Secession Conven
tion that carried the State out of the Un
ion. It is a fact of history that lie, with
two others, refused to sign the ordinances
of Secession, tliou. li when Georgia joined
the column of seceding States lie cast his
fortunes with the destiny of the Confed
eracy.
He has alwas been a leading and one of
the most progrestive men of the county,
ft ith him life will have its greatest re
ward in the aftermath of existence, the
influence of his life has, aud will, tell on
the history of that county. His services
will not probably be known and appre
ciated by tiie people of the State at large,
because the leading journals of Georgia
have failed to record his life and doings.
But his community knowß them and will
remember them.
COLOXRL L. 1. ALKKD
is another conspicuous landmark of Pick
et* county. Hig life and doings ate in
terwoven aud have become a part and
parcel of her identity. His -ervices as a
politician and a law-maker date from the
,ncipieucy of this regiou as a law abiding
community. Ue as horn in Picaeus

went to work actively for the measure.
Wi.an tbe bill pasaed Fulda went before
the committee <ni naming and offend tbe
name of "Picked-” for the new county ii.
tumor of Ue rral Pickens of South Caro
lina, F eld' n e State. Tne name as
adapted, ad uIS .4 the county was or
ganized by electing Steve Griffith, Else
tiury Tarbutton, James Tally, Jesse Pad
get and Willi* West judges of the Inferi
or court. Griftiith said wlicu installed
that “1 don’t know a d—m bit of low, but
l know w bat's justice.” Tarbutton
could neither read nor write, but made
oue of the best judges of tbe l>ench. That
was iu the days of liome-spuu honesty
when men regarded truth and the right
with a zea ous care. Buck Soseiiee was
elected first Sheriff over Bill Foster who
not many years ago murdered a man liesr
Jerusalem in that county and was sentenc
ed to ten years in tiie cliaingang.
John Wofford was elected firs* clerk of
tlie Inferior Oourt, and Win. Tate first
clerk of the Superior Court. None ot tlio.se
officers are now living except Mr. Tate,
fattier of young Garter Tate the present
representative of Pickens, and probably
Judge West of tbe Inferior Court who
moved to Texas some years ago.
The court proceeded to lay off a town
and name it. After the place was located
Mr. Simmons proposed the name of “Mt.
Vernon” as the appellation ~f the new
born little city. Aired offered tlie name
of “Jasper,” which the Court accepted.
Colonel Aired was elected a member of
the House twice and tlie Senate once, be
fore the war, and a number of times since.
Tbe most hotly contested race probably of
this section before the war was between
Col. Sam Tate and Col Lem Aired, for
the Senate. Tate was wealthy, ambitious
and generous, and spent money lavishly,
while Aired was a shrewd politician, pop.
ular ami understood the cord of public
sympathy. The campaign resulted in a
victory for Tate by a majority of only e 7.
They were warm and fast friends. After
the election Aired was appointed executive
messenger by Joe Brown, who had just
been chosen Governor at that election.
The Tate family has alway beeu a wealth y
influential and leading one of Pickens,
their vu6t possession of wealth iu marble
being a prime cause ot the family’s notori
ety.
There are many facts and incidents of
the early Listoiy of Pickens worthy ot
note, but a lack of space forbids further
mention. Thisbrief epitome of history
shows the character of the people who
usurped the happy hunting grounds of a
vanished race, and these occasional per
sonages til >t stand out the spared relics of
Hie past teach us unfading lessons of polit
ical honesty and private purity rarely inci
dent to Ihe machinations of today. They
were sculptors of a people’s destiny, and
in their budliood they shaped the fruition
which we, as tlie rising generation, reap
and enjoy as their legacy. These pioneers
on the foothills of progress have well nigh
relinquished their sphere of activity to a
generation of younger men whose hopes
and desires aud ambitions have a different
east, anil whose aspirations seek a realiza
tion in the developments of an untold fut
ure in musing on such changes, we in
voluntarily exclaim how great are tlie imi
tations of Time in the pmgress of nations
and iu tne course of human vicissitude !
The Session's Close.
The spring term of the Eilijay Seminary
closes to-day with a union picnic. On
last Sunday Kev. Dr. T. C. i alter, of
Chattanooga, preached the annual sermon
in the upper hall of the building to a very
intelligent audience. The sermon was an
hour and twenty minutes in duration, but
was listened to with close attention by the
full concourse of beams. Ilis text was
the inquiry of Delilah to Samson, “Tell
me, I pray thee, wherein thy strength
lieth.” He dilated upon the elements
that constitute the moral man, ennnmer
ated them in turn. The sermon was elo
quent, fervent and convincing. He held
up tiie biographies of illustrious men to
illustrate the power of a mother’s early
training: He also preached Sunday night
with marke.i effect. His appeal to the
sinner-world was persuasive and jeloquent,
aud caught the close attention of the
crowded house.
Monday and Tuesday were deyoted to
examinations, and to’day a picnic will be
hail by the students aud friends of the
school at which speech and feast will hold
sway. Cadies and flowers will form au
inviting feature of the day.
T be tiustees met Monday but made no
setectiou for Prof. Early’s successor. Prof.
Early came among us last July and as
sumed control of the Bcminaiy under
rather depressing circumstances. But
sihjii lie increased its attendance to 160,
the largest number it bas ever lieen. The
success of 'he institution is due to Ins
efforts and the result is a compliment to
his efficiency.
Dr. L. L. Bishop returned funn Atner
jeu* nisi Monday wutre he has been at
tending the annual convention of the
Stale Sunday School As-'oti .turn. He
reports uis mp a delightful one, aud
Ameiiens a lovely city. T e people gave
the convention a warm welc .me, and the
>CMMou was profitable aud interesting. It
will probably convene at Gam svillc next
