tuok, place during the week ending last Satur-

preceding weeks this month and decided
abatement of the disease. For the forty-elght

For the anderson MteMigcncer.

At recent meeting of the Farmers Asso-
citation, the undersigned were appointed COM
mittee to arrange an entertainment to be car
ried on in connection with the next annual
exhibition of the said Association, commencing
on the 1st of November next, with the view of
raising fund to purchase grounds, erect
buildings, &C., for the Anderson Farmers As
sociation.
In furtherance of this object, the committee,
appreciating the difficulties in their way, un-
aided by the active efforts of the ladies, have
taken the liberty of appointing SUBJ Commit
tee of ladies to solicit donations, and aid in
any way they may deem proper the Committee
of the Association, in making the projected
entertainment a success. The names of this
committee will be announced in the next issue
of the Anderson lntelligencer, and blanks ex-
planning the object Of the subscription will be
furnished to the various members of the Sub
Committee and to others who feel willing to
aid lis. The object of this entertainment is
two-fold--that of establishing the agricultural
association upon firm and permanent basis,
and to make the occasion of the approaching
Fair gala season, of pleasant, social enjoy
ment. To meet the expectations of the Asso-
ciation, and to get up an entertainment worthy
of patronage, we feel authorized in asking aid
and assistance from a liberal and generous
public, who have ever manifested lively zeal
in all enterprises having for their object the
advancement of the material interests of our
County.
If encouraged and assisted, as we believe that
we will be, the programme of the committee
will be to give an entertainment each evening
of the Fair-furnishing refreshments, solid
and light, relieving the monotony of these oc-
casions with inspiring music and entertaining
charades, theatricals and other amusements.
