LOCAL AND STATE NEWS.
S1aSs OF THE TIMEs.-Tt is good thing 10 let
people know where. you are, and hence we have
always advocated the policy of advertising.
Through reverence for old times and associations,
however, We have neglected TO ''bang our banners,
upon the outer wall,' and the entrance to our es-
tablshment has only been Indicated here ofore by
the dapidated sign OF our predecessor, the Ander-
sou Gazette. Overcoming the prediction in favor
of fnmiliar name, we have caused to be placed
over the entrance neat and well-e1ecuted sign,
.INTELLIagNcIR OFFICE" the handiwork OF our
Young friend, w. A. FAINT, whose taste and skillin
this respect is duly appreciated by the community.
II will likewise be observed that our estimable
neehbors, SHARPE g. FAINT, have had their sign
remodeled.
SALEpAY.-The crowd in attendance on Monday
last was greater than we remember to have ever
seen in Anderson ON similar occasion. Mer-
chants and tradesmen enjoyed an unusually fine
trade while the auctioneers we're kept busy. The
vast concourse upon the public square indicated
thriving times, aud everything remained quiet and
orderly until late in the afternoon. One OF two
very small rows, and occasional exhibition OF
the effects of John Barleycorn, closed the days
proceedings.
HonsE THIEF ARngsrEp.-Capt E. L. Parker,
of this town, had horse stolen from his stable on
Tuesday night last, and suspicion at once fell upon
o freedman by the name of Bob Thompson, who had
been lurking around the plemises for several eve
nings The case was taken into hand by JOHN r.
COCHRAN and we learn that the thief was arrested
with the horse al Wiston, in Barnwell District, on
Saturday The means employed to secure his ar
rest was by issuing handbills promptly, and seat
tering them throughout the State 1t proved ef-
| fectiye in this instance. and secured the above
gratifying intelligence in less than one week from
the time this bold theft was committed.
PERsoSAL-We had the pleasure, on Monday
last, of making the acquaintance of Maj b. ToMp-
KINs, now on q brief visit to our neighborhood
1t will be remembered that Maj T. was engagedin
defence of our tcllow-citizens, Messrs. KEYS,
SHOWERS and ByRus. and exhibited unusual talent
and ability in the conduct of the case, besides per-
| severance and energy in their behalf The numer-
Gus friends of these gentlemen will be pleased to
know that their earnest advocate and steadfast
friend is in our midst. Maj. ToNPKlss was an
officer in the United States army, and subsequent
/ to the war prac,iced low in Nashville, Tenn. He
now halls from the Indian Territory.

FASHION MAGAz1SEs.-Foremost among this
class, Godey's Lddy's Book is entitled to large
shure of attention. Every number seems to reach
perfection, and yet the succeeding one charms
aresh. The February issue has been duly receiv-
ed. The IntelAgencer and Cooley one year for SIS.
Frank LesAes Lady's Aayazine contains al the
promised new features, and more besides. Its su-
perb engravings are not the least attraction Of this
work. In the last number beautiful and costly
engraving Of HELEN FouRMEsr. the wife of RU-
BENs the great painter, is given. The fashion
plates and patter ms are extensive, while the read
ing matter is vuried and interesting Published

The February number of Demoresfs Monthly is
also upon our table, We have often commended
this publication to our readers, and can honestly
praise its execution and general character low,
but we regret to notice that illusions are made in
the last number scarcely entitled to applause from
us. We do not care 10 censure where there is so
muen deserving oi praise, ouI the iacI 49, lha'
Nine. DEMoResr has NOT exhibited ordinary tact
and enterprise in giving prominence to her prefer
ence in a matter involving social equality without
distinction of race or coior With her opinion
we have nothing to do, but the taste displayed is
not to our liking, and we cannot allow it to pass
unnoticed.
