Brief Mention of Local Incidents.

The finest Tomatoes we have seen this season
were raised by our young friend, Mr.. B. Frank
Crayton, who resides near Williford's Store
He brought us fine supply on Monday last,
and promises to place some of his crop on ex-
hibition at tie Fair.
The Editor rejoices in the possession of a
new hat, for which he is indebted to Lewis q
Co., the polite and accommodating merchants,
who are now receiving large stock of fall and
winter goods. Our hat is not for sale, but
Lewis & Co., can supply "all the world and
the rest of mankind" with suitable covering
for their craniums, at reasonable cost.
Rev. E. A. Bolles, District Superintendent
of the American Bible Society fer South Car
olina, honored the sanctum with visit on
Saturday last. Mr. Bolles was here for the
purpose Of attending the twenty-6fth auniver-
sary of the Auxiliary Bible Society for Ander-
son County. He preached in the Baptist
Church on Sunday night, upon "The nature
and Importance of true religion" an admirable
discourse.
Hugh Wilson, Esq, of the Abbeville Press
and Banner, made us brief visit on Monday
afternoon He reports the financial stress in
Abbevlle as exceedingly great, and that there
was not much demand for cotton in that
market He is looking quite we'll and is ex-
tremely happy, if we may judge from outward
appearances.
Simpson, Hill & Co., have removed to their
handsome and commodious store in the north
east corner of the Benson House, and await
the visits of their numerous friends and Gus
toners. Their establishment is most elegantly
arranged, and is inferior to none in the Up
country for convenience, good taste and comely
appearance The wide reputation of the firm
for fair and honest dealing will insure the con-
tinuance of liberal patronage from the pub
lie.
Mcssrs. FAINT & Bell will occupy the house
lust vacated by Simpson, ELI & Co., on The
northeast corner of the public square. They
are wholesale and retail dealers in groceries Of
every description, and will sell at short profits
for the cash. The senior member Of the firm
is O. II. P. Fant Esq, who is we'll known to
the people of this section as strictly reliable in
all of his transactions. His partner, Mr.. Bell,
is q new conner, whom we welcome to this
community. Their stock of goods was pur-
chased in New York, and will be ready for the
trade in few days,

An Extra Term.

On Saturday last, the Court was adjourned by
the Clerk and Sheriff, according to the require,
ments of law, and the petit Jurors were dis
charged FROM any further attendance. The
grand jury was ordered to attend an extra
term of the Court, to be holden on Monday
3rd of November next, and the Jury Commits
sioner will draw petit jurors for the said extra
term. We are glad to note the fact that Judge
Cooke readily acceded to the request of the
bar, in postponing the special term until No
vember, as it will give the farmers better
opportunity for picking out cotton during this
month, 1"
