New Books.
BY MRS. j. E. MCcoNAUGHY.

No one can keep up with the times
in which he lives, who does not now
and then buy and thoroughly read
some good book, that has stirring,
earnest thought and valuable infor-
nation in it.
It is related that DR.. johnson
was once conversing with George
Ill. in his library at Windsor Cas-
tie, when his majesty asked the
author what book he was then en-
gagged in writing.
4 am not writing anything just
now, please your majesty. The rea-
son is, have told the world pretty
much all that ] know, and | am at
present reading to get something
fresh"
The Sabbath-school teacher who
does not read new books, judlcious-
ly chosen, will soon tell his class all
he knows. Unconseiously he will
drop into the same beaten track land
tell over his same old stories, the
WEAKNESS Of his young listeners.
A new book of the right stamp
will wake up his own powers, and
start new trains of thought in his
mind, an advantage hardly second
to the valuable information he gains
from it. To read a new book to the
best advantage, one needs to own it.
The satisfaction of possession en-
hances the enjoyment we take in
reading it. Then too borrowed
book can rarely be read with that
leisurely attention and care, so
necessary to get at the real marrow
of its teachings. 1t is great help
to mark with a pencil on the margin
passages which especially strike
you, and to which you may wish
again to refer. This, of course, can
only be done in your own books.
Those whose means are limited,
need to think well over every pur-
chase of a book, before deciding upon
it, and not allow their money to be
trifed away ON those which are of no
permanent value. If you cannot af-
ford to buy both those intended for
mere recreation. and those which
will give you valuable instruction,
unhesitatingly choose the latter.
If you wish to energize your souls
afresh with the true Sunday-school
spirit you will hardly find anything
better calculated to do it, than Mr..
Hart's new book, "The Sunday
School Idea"

NV Initiation.

Met a friend on the street:
asked me to join good Templars,
have a first rate time, get &C
quainted with lots of pretty girls
and go home with them; asked
me if he should take my name,
told him '.don't care if you do"
Got a letter saying I'd been elect
ed; thought I'd join, started up
Division street, thought I'd 90 in
Bob's and look in the glass, saw
sugar in the glass; went in Qua
ker's, looked in glass to fix nectie;
started to find hall, asked a fel-
low if he knew where it was said
he didn't, saw some girls going
up stairs, thought that must be
the place; went up two pair of
stairs, knocked at the door, man
inside put his ear to hole, asked
him what hewanted,said he want
ed the pass word, told him l
didn't want to pass any words
with him, said | couldn't come
in, told him Ed come to join, he
let me in a little room and told
me to set down. Bimebye a fell
low come out and asked if there
were any to be initiated and went
in; then two other fellows with
red collars on came out, one ask
ed me if 1 believed in'the exist
ence and power of the Almighty
God, the other asked me for
stamps, planked down the cash
and they departed. Soon, fellow
No. 1 returned, told me they
were ready and to follow him. He
knocked at the door, fellow inside
wasn't going to let us in-chang
ed his mind and opened the door;
girls and boys all jumped up and
commenced singing,soon got done
and sat down; walked me before
an officer with young lady on
each side of him, thought I'd like
to change places with him; next
took me around and halted be-
fore a young lady on the opposite
side of the room-dont know
what she said was looking at her
all the time. Marched me around
again, heard the girls whisper
ing and talking: s'wonder if he is
married-he is pretty good look
ing-perfectly horrid-splendid
Pm just going for him." ETC.,
halted before another officer who
came down and shook hands with
me, l said how do you do, how
are all the folks? He kept on
talking and told me to go sign
the constitution. Done so and
was marched up before the first
officers, who gave me a lot of
signs-don't know what they
were, was looking at the girls on
each side of him. Soon, all the
boys and girls jumped up and
Joined hands; one of the girls
handed me a glass of water, it
wasn't very bad but pretty thin,
the other girl put her arms around
my neck and put a white collar
on me-thought she was agoing
to kiss me but she didn't. Then
they put me in the circle, Joined
hands with the girl who said l
was "splendid', then they had
intermission, all came up and
shook hands with me-called me
brother, did'n know l had so many
brothers and sisters before. In
the latter part of the evening ask
ed the girl who said she was ego
ing for me" if l could see her
home, she said | could if her hus-
band was willing-didn't wait to
see, but took my hat and left
whistling-"Shoo Fly, DON'T bod
der me-"

Ayers Cathartic Pills,
For all the purposes of a Laxative
Medicine.

Perhaps no one medi-
cine is so universally

purgative Pill. The
obvious reason is,
that it is more relia-
BILE and far more ef-
fectual remedy than any other. Those who have
tried it, know that it cured them; those who have
not know that it cures theirneighbors and friends;
and all know that what it does once it does al
that it never fails through any fault or neg
glect of its composition. We have thousands upon
thousands ofcertfcates of their remarkable cures
of the following complaints, but such cures are
known in every neighborhood, and we need not
publish them Adapted to all ages and conditions
in all climates; containing neither calomel norany
deleterious drug they may be t.ken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating preserves them
ever fresh, and makes them pleasant 10 take while
being purely vegetable, NO harm can arise from
their use In any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal yiscera to purify the blood and stimulate
it into healthy action-remove the distinctions
of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs OF
the body, restoring theiriregular action to health,
and by correcting, wherever they exist, such de-
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:-
For Dyspepsia or indigestion, Lisf1ess-
ness. Languor and Loss of Appetite. they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stOui-
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and its various symp-
toms, Bilious Headache, Sick Head
ache. Jaundice or Green Sickness, Bill
ious Collie and Bilious Fevers, they should
be judicously taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or remove the distractions which
cause it.
For Dysentery or Diarrhnea, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For Rhcumatisna, GOus, Gravel, Pal
pitafiOn of the Heart, Pain in the
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For Dropsy and DroPsicaf SweIlsngs
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect Of a drastic purge.
For Suppression a large dose should be
taken as 1t produces the desired effect by sym
pathy.
As Dinner PHI. take one or two Pills TO
prosaote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often adj
vantageous where no serious arrangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a
dose of these Pills makes him feel decidedly bet

the digestive apparatus.

age.

The fourth annual Fair of the Anderson
Farmers Association will be held on the lst,
End and 3rd days of November next. We sur
render much of our space this week to the pub
lication of the Premium List, to which we
would invite the attention of all Interested
The list has been considerably enlarged, and
now numbers nearly two hundred articles for
which premiums will be awarded We want to
see lively interest in this Fair by all classes
of our people, Other counties arc pointing to
Anderson with pride, as The possessor of an ac-
tive progressive organization and as the sue
cess of our Association depends in a great
measure upon the exertions of its friends at
this particular juncture, every citizen should
press forward its claims and seek to place it
upon more lasting basis. Another successful
exhibition, excelling all previous attempts, will
crown the efforts of the Association with endu-
ring honor, and secure The permanent cstab-
lishment of this institution in our midst
The Committee of Arrangements, appointed
TO devise an entertainment in connection with
the Fair, likewise publish card in this issue,
which sets forth in general terms the plan
agreed upon. These gentlemen make strong
appeal to the ladies' for assistance in this mat
ter. and we are confident that they will not ask
in vain. Ehe object is to raise funds for the
purchase of fair grounds and the erection of
buildings thereon, and the experience of the
past assures us that generous public will be-
stow patronage most literally toward this OBJ
iect, as every dollar contributed will be set
apart for this special purpose.

Deaths.

We regret to chronicle the death of Gen.
John w. Guyton, which occurred at his resi-
dence in this county on Saturday last, after a
brief illness. Gen. Guyton was popular and
influential citizen, and served the people OF
Anderson most efficiently as Sheriff for one
term. He was Brigadier General of Cavalry
some years prior to the war, and always mani
tested great interest in the volunteer organiza-
tions of this character. His death will be
lamented by a large circle of relatives, friends
and acquaintances.
Also, the sad intelligence has reached US that
Mr.. Preston L. Dean, of Fair Play, is no more.
He has been in failing health for some months,
and it was feared that he would never recover
from the prostrating illness. Mr.. Dean was
native of Laurens District, and had been res
ident Of this section about fifteen years. He
was warm-hearted, generous friend and an
exemplary citizen He was about 35 years OF

chases. OF course the trade is mostly barter,
bacon being leading article. The complete
failure of the apple crop is sorey felt. Per-
sons here look to the fruit and apple brandy for
ready money to buy groceries with, just as we
do to cur bag of cotton. There was consldera-
BILE talk and excitement about the railroad from
Clayton to Ducktown, and every one seemed
willing to aid and help. We can feelingly say
one thing that they need a Railroad if any
people ever did. Their trade goes mainly to
Athens, because of better road through Ma
cooche; but now that Gainesville, only 44miles,
is connected by rail with Atlanta, of course
everything will go there, until the same facili-
ties are offered by way of Clayton. This val
ley is quite extensive, and lands in cultivation
are rating at good prices. Copper ore abounds,
and is only awaiting cheap transportation to
become the leading article of commerce. One
mine, very near the village, has been opened
and many tons of copper ore, of as good quail
ty as that of Lake Superior, is lying there, ut
terly valueless. Gold and silver also are found,
it is believed, in sufficient quantities to warrant
further enterprise and explorations. The time
spent here waiting for that wheel to be repaired,
passed very pleasantly. We were under great
obligations to Mr.. McC., merchant of the
place, who entertained US at his house. The
views from his door were charming, and one
could hardly tire looking out, with the ever
changing hues of mountain, river and valley.
