Pickens, South Carolina
14 January, 1909

    E. H. Gilliland, of Piedmont, was in Pickens last Saturday shaking hands with old friends, and, incidentally, settling for his “old home paper,” which he says he could not do without.  Mr. Gilliland for a number of years has lived near Piedmont, but has recently moved to the Dr. Richardson farm, near Shiloh church, in Anderson county. His address will still be Piedmont, R. F. D. 1.  Last year he made 13 bales of cotton and 100 bushels of corn with one horse. This is a pretty good showing and lots of people could set their pegs for this kind of showing in 1909.
