We cn joyed our trip hugely. Got a big prico for orir cotton, bought goods very obeaii, and bought a half gal lon of good old “XXX” and came homo in order, so wo have been told. We took in the show, the Goldens, and must say we were de lighted. While ih the city wo had the pleasure of meeting the Solicitor of the Recorder. Wc found him a man of plenty ol cheek, and we tbinkaucocssful at his calling. We had the pleasure of meeting tbe first train on the A. I*. A L. road, last Friday morning—five miles this side of town. She was la charge of Conductor Seals, and expected to reach Lumpkin some time dext spring. Ho slopped fif teen mite3 this side of town, and went to sawing cross ties for the road. His was tbe first traction ongine we ever saw on tho road. It was run without any mules to guide or help . pull it, and had a wagon hooked on behind with the mill on it, weighing nearly four thousand, and pulled the hills and saad btds with . ease. We are go ing to run one from Richland to the ville when- the railroad is fin ished, Come out and sec us. Wo crossed the now road three times from home to tbe city, and found hands working at each cross ing. WC really do believe we are going to have tbo road this time, and not on paper, as heretofore, and to the Recorder wo tender Clanks for her assistance in getting us the road, for without her wc do pot; believe the goad would ever have been build.

He was 84 years of age, bos been almost help less for several years, finally be- came paralyzed in his right side,and lay in bis. bed about two weeks, the latter week uqable to speak, was a Primitive Baptist preacher twenty; years, then , a Univcrealist preacher forty years, lived happily with bis wife 57 years, when death took her from .him. Ho was one of the founders ot tbe schools and churches at the Plains of Dura some forty or fifty years ago, which gMr. M. B. Pickett so graphically described in liis reminisences in the Sumter Republican. He bss for years expressed a desire to die suddenly, as his old aud distin guished friend, the Hon. Geo. R. Harper did, and had a great fear or dread of growing old and help less and becoming a burden to his people. He did grow old less, but thereiever wss a man, or even a child, more tenderly nursed watched over and cared for than he was by his son, Dr. W. C. Ken. drick, his son-in-law, Mr. Jas, H. West, bis daughter, Mrs. West,and his grand-daughter, Miss Willie Harper. Notwithstanding his death was expected every day for a week, and all knew be was prepared and deaired to die, when tho end came these relatives who sat by his bed side day and night, obeying every josture, and admin istering every comfort possible were completely overwhelmed witb grief, as though he was expected to live always. Such earnest and solicitous devotion is not witnessed every day in this cold and selfish world. These dear relatives have tho sympathy of this entire community.
