OR, THE WORLD HAS CHANGED. 61 



Since the days of which \Ve have been speaking, ^the second 

 and third generations are passing fiora the stage of action, 

 rapidly losing their grip on life, and falling off into the sea of 

 time. Of the second, Colonel Tom Pickens, Mr. Dickson and 

 John Sitton alone remain, Mr. William Galliard having died 

 but recently, and but a remnant of the third generation is left. 

 The Clemson Agricultural College is now being erected at old 

 Fort Hill, the John C. Calhoun place ; a fine hotel is about to 

 be built at old Pendleton, and it is thought the old town is 

 looking up somewhat. May the Lord bless the faithful old 

 spot, and may she become once more as she was in the days of 

 yore, as a "city set upon a hill. "
