Editor of the Sen ley County Enterprise: —Please let me con- tinue Mr. X’s, history of Pondtown, and tile little county of Schley, which was made of Hunt ter and Marion counties, two districts front Sumter and twofrftm Marion. These districts all had names. Bumphead, took its name from a little No.of hills in its vicinity. On my first visit to NubbinhiU I was convinced from the poorness of t lie soil that the name was very appropriate!in those days guano was not in general use), Another was called Lickskiliet, it took its name from some body eating ail the meat and licking the skillet. The other was called pan handle 1 was informed that it took name from a fracus that took place between the bar keeper and one of his customers. The latter was getting the best of the when the bar keepers wife took an old pan handle and soon ended the fight by heavy and well diiect- ed blows. The doctor of course had some use for needle and thread and sticking plaster. Pondtown was situated in the midst of a beautiful farming try not very fertile, but over an average,and was settled by as Intel- ligent clever people as could be found anywhere.But it was quite conveient and expensive to attend court court ana and serve serve on on me the jury iurv without compensation. Hence toe necessi- ty an,I importance of getting a new petitions, the le^ifeldture made t.n county as stated above. The first thing was to elect county officers and locate the place for the county site There was a good many thought Pondtown was the place others beleived it should be located at or as near the center of the coun¬ ty as possible, and the question of removal or no removal and on this question there was a division, each had their candidates and after much contention and disputation the elec¬ tion came oft', which resulted in the triumph of the removal party;coin- missioners were appointed and after due ddiberation it was agreed to locate where Ellaville, now stands not quite half mile front Pondtown, and a little over half mile southeast of the center of the county; and was named in honor to Miss Ella Burton, the eldest daughter of Capt. Burton, who sold to the county the land upon which the town is built and it is be yond doubt one of the most beautiful locations, I have everseeti.lt is indeed a lovely place 1 envy not the man who can see the heautiful groves with their dark green foliages and the earth covered with wild clover and have no emo- tionul feelings of gratitude to the God of nature. I don’t own any land in this city. On a it it v. A Ticket 51 Incites l/mg. General Passenger Agent Watson of the Fitchburg railroad, yesterday sold to a Buffalo physician an im!i- mitted first-class ticket for $fi,140, the highest price ever paid for one ticket, it is said. The paste-board was one and half yards long and consisted of thirty-five coupons and the contract. It is good for for a special tunnel route to Ban Antonia, Tex., and return by the way of the Atlantic coast.— Boston Transcript, IICIIIS l'lOIII 1’ II11131 III. Putnam, <1a 10, 1886.

B. Whisky's Awful Work. j Mr. Newburn, of this county, who has just returned from Echols, gives us the following particulars of the burning of his unde, Mr. Fisher J Griffin, in that county on Saturday night last. Mr. Griffin had been drinking for some days, and going home about dark, drove his wife from home. Half an hour after¬ wards Mr. Lee, ills nephew, went to tho house and found him on the doorstep with every particle of his clothing, except his shoes and socks, burned from his body. He was still alive and trying to crawl, but died soon afterwards.Investigation shows that he fell into the lire and that he was too drunk to get out immediate- ly. When he did get out he crawled out Into the yard with his clothes on lire, and here, in his agony, lie had stripped the burned skin front both hands like a glove, tearing out as he did so every finger nail on botli hands. In this awful condition he ! crawled back in the house and then j again era a led out to the doorstep where lie was found, He was liter- ally roasted alive. Mr. Griffin was a well-to-do farmer and mill man, j and when not drinking was liked in , the community.—Quitman Free ! Press. I l.oio ami l.mv. | ! He.

The Courier-Journal is one of the Dost papers in the United States; it is in our opinion unexceled anywhere, If you want to know all about na- tionai affairs read it; if you want to know all about tariff reform, read it; it will keep you posted on ail ques¬ tions of general interest. We would not bo without it for double and thribble its cost. Take the Courier- Journal. The Arkansaw Traveler, is a very fine paper. The humor in it is hard to beat.
