Medical aid was immediately summoned, but -we have been unabletolearn the result of their prognosis. At last accounts, though, it was believed that he would die.

Therefore, when the clans be gan to gather by preconcerted ar rangement last Tuesday morning pub lic curiosity was at the highest pitch, and not until the cavalcade disap peared down Greenville street did the gaping crowd regain its composure.

The senior class of College Temple will go out t-o Sargem’s factory this morning on a marooning expedition, if the weather permits'. They wiH bb Killing - of L. T »V. Couch by T.-N. Bur dett. Senoia was thrown into a state of the wildest excitement last Wednes day evening by a fatal rencounter be tween Mr. L. W. Couch and air. T. N. Burdett, both well-known citizens of the place, iu which the former came to his death at the hands of the la’ter. The details of the affair are harrowing in the extreme, a succinct recital of which will be found below: Burdett and Couch were neighbors and resided on adjoining premises. For some weeks previous to the kill ing Couch had been annoyed by Bui- dett’s chickens, and finally became so exasperated that he killed three or four of them. This provoked Burdett to make use of an expression that was personally offensive to Couch and he affirmed that Burdett would have to retract the remark or take the consequences. Neither par ty seemed willing to make any con cessions, and neither would agree to keep up bis chickens. Matters grew from bad to worse until about 7 o’clock last Wednesday evening, when the fatal meeting occurred. At that hour O, W. Floyd and Burdett were sit ting on the steps of the Shields build ing engaged in conversation. Bur dett held in his hand a medium-sized hatchet, such as carpenters commonly use in house-building. Couch came up and, stopping immediately in front of the parties, said: “Burdett, you calied me a d—n s—n of a b—h, and I will give you just half a minute to take it back.” As he spoke .he drew a 38-calibre Smith & Wessou self-acting pistol and opened fire-on Burdett, the first ball passing through bis left, side, about two inches from the nmbilicum. As Couch fired the second shot Burdett gained bis feet and, summoning all his strength, struck his adversary a terrific blow on the left sid^-of the neck with the sharp edge of the hatchet, burying it to the eye. The force of the blow severed both the carotid artery and the jugu lar vein, and as the blood spurted from the ghastly wound he reeled, walked fburorfveMepe} fired twpjbot* This was borne aloft by sturdy' bands, far above the smirch of dust or defeat, and the initiated knew at once that it was a detachment of “Gid eon’s Band.” Proceeding in a southerly direction, the cavalcade soon left the town far behind and penetrated the country be yond. In the course of an hour or so Young’s bridge was reached, crossing which the procession moved up the left bank of the creek to an eminence about five hundred yards distant from the road, and immediately overlooking a fine spring of water, wh se pellucid overflow purled and fretted along the narrow gorge that marked the ravine with a rippling turbulence more mus- i"al than noisy. The town contingent bivouacked on the brow of the hill—a hill so steep that one had to descend backwards to prevent his duster from dragging the ground—and in a few minutes they were joined by the ad vance guard of the White Oak Divis ion, who offered the customary frater nal greetings and extended the free dom of the valley. The first of the visiting brethren to avail himself of this privilege was Geo. Broom, who in trying to reach the spring at the foot of the hill by the nearest route, lost his legs and came doa n with an emphasis that sounded more like a seismic disturbance than the ordinary “thud” usually incident to such mis haps. He was followed at respectful utervals by Bob Johnson, Major Glover,Tolly Kirby and Payson What ley, who appeared to vie with each other in their precipitate anxiety to lave their tongues in the cooling fount. Capt. Bob Hardaway and John Ander son remained on the brow of the"” hill and refreshed themselves with casual draughts from au ancient calabash that was passed up from the spring. The author of these lines, with an abun dance of esntion rendered necessary by his valetudinary condition, lethim- self down by means of a plow-line and thereby escaped contusion. If others had profited by his example they might be alive and well to-day. Meanwhile, a committee had been appointed to scour the creek in quest >f fish, and after straining the limpid waters of the historic White Oak for two or three miles they returned with more than enough to feed the entire mnltitnde. These were promptly dressed and prepared for dinner, and constituted a very tempting feature of the collation. Hampers were then bronght forth from various places of concealment and their contents spread upon the ground, and with such a prod igal disregard for the, concinnities of festal arrangement that' one hardly knew where to begin or where to stop. The “substantial” stood out like ar mies of prosperity, while pies, cakes, tarts, custards, knick-knacks, and goodies of one description and another were in such plentiful profusion as to be really embarrassing. (The ingen uous chronicler of this event attached himself to a green apple pie abogt two feet in circumference and didiA re cover from his embarrassment until a late hour at night.) It fine, it was just such a spread as one might ex pect to find in the White Oak settle ment, and nowhere else under the sun. At any rate tint was the opinion pub licly proclaimed by an enthusiastic visitor, and the sentiment was approv ingly echoed by every one present. It was an occasion, indeed, whose di mensions could only be likened to the large-hearted hospitality of the Hun ters, the Youngs, the Bentons, the Camps, the Bowers’, the Carmicals, the Prices, and other leading families in this favored region, and the eveqt will be a green spot iu the memory of every visiting cavalier who was priv ileged to be present. After-dinner speeches were made by Hon. W. Y. Atkinson, Hon. J. B. Goodwyn.Col.P. S. Whatley, and per- bapsothers. Wesay “perhapsothers,” because at tuis interesting juncture we cut loose from the exercises and start ed out to hunt for our umbrella, which some unregenerateGideonite had mis laid, and it is just possible that others may have spoken during our absence. When we left, Col. Whatley had the floor, and in trying to ring in a quota tion from Burns to" appease Abe Young, whose ire he had aroused by a casual high tariff remark, got hope lessly stuck “On the banks of Ayr,” and it required the united efforts of hurrahing friends to get him off. Then followed a sort of love-feast, participated in by the entire band. While the workings of the Order are secret and cannot of course be review ed in this public manner, we feel at liberty to say that the exercises were intensely Interesting, Music was fur nished by Prof. Calamity Moore, of Lodi, who had been engaged specially for the occasion, and who walked all the way—a matter of fifteen miles or more—to keep bi3 appointment. That part of the programme which promised “music, both vocal and in strumental, also singing,” was faith fully carried out. There were like wise various accompaniments to the music not necessary to dwell upon here. The beautiful initiatory ceremony of the Order was then gone through with, the work beiog exemplified by Patri archs Young, Kirby, Camp, Glover and others. Below will be found a full list of the delegates in attendance: White Oak—A. H. Benton, C. J. Harris, J. D. Hunter, A. A. Young, N. Y. Hunter, W. W. Camp, Joseph Young, J. W. Bowers, A. H. Young, A.
