Memorial I at,
Tho Lsclies* Memorial Association t f
| McDnffiie County tnay congratulate
! themselves that their celebration of
j Memorial Day in 1894 wa*s the most ef
! fective and impressive ever witnessed in
| Thomson,
The weather could not have been more
j propitious, and the patriotic sentiment
\ of love for the brave soldiers who gave
their lives in defence of the South,
j warmed every heart and shone in every
| face.
Early in the day the crowd began to
! assemble and throng the streets. Busi
| ness Bouses were closed and a general ;
, holiday was given. The program pub- ■
| lished in last week’s Journal was oh-j
: served except that the services were held j
at the Methodist church instead of tho
| Courthouse, The music rendered by ;
the Memorial Choir, with Miss Alma j
Worrill* as organist, was well selected, !
beautiful and appropriate.
After an eloquent and fervent praver j
by the Chaplain, Iv v. R. F. Eakes, and j
a sung by the choir, Judge B. M. Gross, j
in a few very appropriate remarks, in- j
troduced Prof. Charles Lane, of Atlanta, !
the Orator of tire day. When we say
that the address of Prof. Lane was the
best ever delivered in this place on such
an occasion, we express the sentiments
of ail who heard it. His happy blending j
of humor and pathos, Ins faultless rhet
oric and graceful and impressive deliv
ery awakened the patriotism and aroused
the deepest sympathies of his vast audi
ence.
After the address and a song by the
choir came the beautiful ceremony of
decorating the soldiers’ graves by the
children, which was the crowning feature
of the day.
At the Courthouse the Indies of the
Association served refreshments to tin
big crowd and reo ivetl a liberal patron
age. They also took a collection at the
church, and from those two sources real
ized quite a sum for the Confederate
Monument.
We cannot too highly commend the
untiring labors of Mrs. McLean, the
President, and the other noble ladies of
the Association Never for a day has
their splendid patriotism faltered or
their love for our fallen braves grown
cold. The heroes in gray are, to many,
a fading memory. To these- faithful and
devoted women they are still an idolized
reality--the cherished representatives of j
a loved and lost sentiment-—which joy
nor sorrow nor drifting years can ever
erase from their hearts. Purely the
approval and the blessing of Deity will
rest upon a devotion so constant atd t
patriotism 8% lofty.

Shield*, the following named citizens
have subscribed , the amounts opposite
their names to purchase uniforms for

names of only a few of our citizens.
Next week wo will announce many oth

ing the ajif ty of the town at heart and
not insensible to gratitude for the noble
work which our Firemen have already
dine, can refuse to aid in improving
their equipment and increasing then
usefulness. Even those who have al
ready contributed should increase their

I the end in view. Let everybody cou

SANDY ITEMS.
P.Y TRICKSY.
It has been sometime since I had a
chat with the readers of the dear old
Journal, and, although I have had quite
a lively time, I did not forget to think of
them.
Since I last wrote I have spent two
weeks very pleasantly with sister Dumps.
While theie I had the pleasure of meet
ing a number of old friends. Among
them wore Mrs. Rebecca Priutnp, Miss
Dixie Priutnp and Mr. Alec Thrasher,
of Thomson; Mr. Dee Printup and Mrs.
; O. G. Gan ter, of Augusta ; Mr. and Mrs.
| Eu!ie Lansdell and their sweet little boy
and Mr. Maud Williamson, of Harlem.
I also spent a few days with Miss Car
rie Hodo. She is one of Deariug’s
sweetest girls, and certainly knows how
to make it pleasant for her guests.
I am due Mrs. Tom Clark many thanks
for a kind invitation to eat chicken pie.
There is nothing that will compete with
a good, old-fashion chicken pie. But O,
my! Fate decreed that I should miss
this one.
Wednesday afternoon last, in company
with Miss Carrie Hodo, and with an am
ple rig of fishing tackle, I took a bee
lino for the Railroad pond, a short dis
tance from Dearing. Wo had splendid
success, and I will say to those who un
derstat'd the art of fishing for frogs that
they should give Railroad pond a trial.
Bat they must name their hooks and
spit out! eir bait, or will have no luck.
Everybody has about finished planting
corn, but on account of the hail last
week and the cold mornings, J fear that
much replauting will be necessary.
The Gospel Trumpet preacheas from
Augusta seem to bo carrying the day in
the neighborhood of Mt. Horeb church.
They have been preaching night and
lay, and have baptised a great many.
They do not have any church ; say they
belong to Christ’s chuivli.
Our roads are being rapidly improved
under the new road-law system. I thiuk
they should adopt it all over the State.
Miss Ida Jordan, the popular teacher
at Woodland, spent a few days at her
old home near Wrens last week. Guess
who wore a long face when she was gone.
Miss Anna Swann, from near Stella
viile. spent a few days in Sandy last
week. Come again, Miss Annie ; wo are
always glad to see you.
Mr. Joe Oliphanf, the “lucky card
player,” spent last Sunday with relatives
in Sandy But, Oh my ! where was the
girl he played cards with for a kiss?
Miss T. E. Patterson, who has been
spending some time with her niece, Mrs.
Dr. Holmes, near Muofjfeon, returned to
her homo in Sandy last week,
Mr. and Mrs. Jas, Hughes, of Head
stall, spent lost Sunday with Mrs. Alex
Freeman, tho daughter of Mrs. Hughes.
Mrs. Charlie Parish is very ill with
fever, but, under the skilful treatment of
Dr. J. W. Pilcher, I hope she will soon
recover.
Cards are out announcing the marri
age of Mr. Jim McMillan, of Blackville,
and Miss Rebie Pilcher, of Stellaville,
o i Wednesday next at 5 o’clock, p. m.
I congratulate Mr. McMillen, for he will
get ouo of Jt fferson’s best and sweetest
girls. I wish them a long and prosper
ed life.
Guess tho young lady who writes such
long letters to her sweetheart that she
lias to pay extra postage on them.

a brother of Mr Jos, DeMedocis, of this
bounty, died of consumption in Augusta
on Tuesday last. His body was brought
to Thomson and carred out to Salem
church for burial.
The election of r. W. R. Hadley as !
Chief of the Fire Department is a step j
in the right direction. He m the best !
man for the place in the town, and bis !
skill, experience and thorough manage- j
