We regret to learn that Mr.. E. B. Rice, of
Belton, had one of his hands and arm badly
torn by cotton gin on Friday last. Two or
three of his fingers were nearly cut in two, and
his hand and arm severely lacerated.
Mr.. J. D. M. Dobbins gives notice to those
indebted to him that he is wanting money, and
must have enough of the "spondulix' to carry
on his business. He is in earnest in demand
ing payment, and means to collect right away.
The roses are yeti bloom. We saw some
of them the other day, on the cheeks of "the
fairest of the very fair" who were perambu-
lating the public square, and who will attend
the County Fair, and prove considerable
attraction there. This poetry is altogether
original.
The local editor of the Greenvile Repub-
lican says that corn is selling in that city at
fifty cents for cash and sixty cents in trade.
He neglects to state whether it is measured by
the bushel or the quart, or sold by weight or
liquid measure, which makes difference in
price over this way.
Rev. Robert King preached in the Baptist
church on Sunday night last This aged and
venerable minister, so well known to our entire
population, is full of fervency and zeal in the
cause of his Master Notwithstanding his ad
vanced age and the arduous labors of nearly
half century in the ministry.
I The County Board of Examiners will meet
On Friday and Saturday, 14th and 18th of
November, to examine persons desiring to
teach free schools during the next fiscal year.
All interested should observe the notice of
Capt Thos P Benson, School Commissioner
of Anderson County.
Mr., George W. Reid, a veteran of the war of
1872, and also of the Indian war of 1886, died
in Walker county, Ca, on the 18th inst. Mr.
Reid was between eighty-fve and ninety years
of age at the time of his death. He was raised
in Anderson District, S. c., but had been a
citizen of Georgia for thirty years.
Judge Cooke adjourned court in Abbeville
on Wednesday morning last for one week,
which prevented Messrs. Orr, Murray and Ken
nedy from being examined for admission to
the bar, as they intended on leaving Anderson
that morning. We suppose the young men
will apply for admission before his Honor next
week.
The extra term of the Circuit Court begins
at this place on Monday next, as Judge Cooke
announces positively he will be here. A large
amount of criminal business will come before
his Honor, and if sufficient time is allotted to
the extra term, we presume that the lawyers
will arrange for the dispatch of civil business,
which is beginning to accumulate on the
dockets.
Mr. E. Simmons Esq, the correspondent of
the Charleston Mews and Courier, arrived in
our town on Tuesday evening. He will remain
several days, and will give that entcrprising
journal and its thousands of readers full ac
count of the Fair and its attendant incidents
We are glad to meet with Mr. Simmons, and
trust that he will be amply repaid by his visit
to Anderson at this auspicious time, when there
will be fair opportunity of judging its pop
ulation and surroundings.
DIR. John 7. Norris, former citizen of An
derson, is in attendance upon our County Fair.
He has a small fruit nursery in Newberry
county, and will be pleased to supply his old
friends and neighbors with Strawberry and
Raspberry Plants, and Grape Vines, of the
most approved quality and embracing varieties
wholly adapted to this section of the country.
The Doctor is thoroughly reliable, and offers
plants and vines at lower prices than can be OBJ
tanned elsewhere.
If you want to know how to get sixteen cents
pound for your cotton, read the advertise
ment of Messrs v Richards & Bros of Au-
gusta, Ga, who are willing to exchange their
dry goods for cotton at the price named. These
gentlemen are the proprietors of the famous
Fredericksburg Store, one of the largest and
most popular establishments of the kind in
Augusta, and they propose to cliff the veil and
remove the pressure" of these stringent times
by making fair exchange with the farmers.
A terrible accident occurred upon the plan
tation of Mr.. A. w. Guyton, near Piercetown,
on Tuesday of last week, by which three negro
children were burnt to death. These children
were left in cabin, while the parents were
