Brief Mention of Local Incidents.

The Board of County Commissioners, at their
meeting on Saturday last, reelected Mr.. John
Brown as Steward of the Poor House for the
ensuing year.
We are informed that DR.. John A. Barks-
dale, Lecturer of the State Grange, will attend
at Bishops Branch on Thursday next, 23rd
inst, and organize Grange at that place.
The Anderson farmers and Mechanics As.
sociation will give handsome prize for the
best horsemanship displayed in the Tourna-
ment, which comes off on the last day Of the
County Fair.
w. R. Rankin, Esq, late Of the Calhoun
(Ga.) Times, was in our town on last Friday,
and honored the sanctum with his presence.
He was on brief visit to his old home in the
Slabtown neighborhood.
All signs fail in dry weather, except the
"Red sign," which never fails to issue an ut
tractive bulletin every week. The proprietor
wants to encourage the youthful aspirants for
notoriety in cotton picking, and makes ibe-
raj offer to that effect this week.
w. T. J. Woodward, Esq, agent of the
Great Southern Freight Line, and Col. John
T. Sloan, special agent of the South Carolina
Railroad, were in our town last Saturday,
prospecting among the merchants on the
freight business Both were in good health
and excellent spirits.
We are Informed by the Chief Marshal that
the ordinance against cattle running at large is
again in force, and owners are notified that the
law will be enforced. The business portion of
the town is the forbidden ground, and all un-
lucky COWS and such like found within the pre-
scribed limits will be impounded.
Persons who have inferred any relatives or
friends in the Baptist graveyard in this town,
within the last two or three years, are advised
to examine the regulations on the subject,
which can be- obtained by calling upon S.
Bleckley, Church Clerk. The rules and regu-
lations are to be strictly observed hereafter.
The latest on dit among the gossips is that
quite a number of Observation-Disclosures
young gents hereabouts will enter that blissful
state of existence very shortly. Wedding cake
and marriage notices will become quite popular
among the printers. We forgot to mention
that an equal number of young ladies will
share the bliss of these anxious young men.
We would call attention to the advertisement
of the Grand Tournament and Ball to be held
here during the Fair. The four most success
full knights will crown the Queen of Love and
Beauty and three Maids Of Honor, and alas |!
for the least successful one, he is doomed to
wear the Tin Cupl Much pleasure and ex-
element is anticipated, and we predict for the
young people gay time.
We were unusually fortunate one day last
week. In the first place, "old man" Bleckley
gave us fine pocket-book, but we had no
money to put in it, and are waiting for the
panic to get over to make use of his present
N. K. Sullivan & Co. thought we needed some
ginger preserves, which are not affected by the
hard times, but proved highly acceptable for
immediate consumption; and FAINT & Bell
wanted us to try their brandy peaches and other
good things, for which we return many thanks.

The Boundary Line.

1t seems that the project for re-adjusting the
boundary line between Georgia and South
Carolina, above the confluence of the Tugalo
and Seneca rivers, is being actively revived,
although the intelligence reaches us from a
distance. A correspondent of the Edge6eld
advertiser makes the following statement con-
cerning the project, and emphatically declares
that the people Of the Fork are in earnest.
We are inclined to think that the gentleman
who has undertaken the job will find it difficult
to convince the Legislature of its feasibility or
propriety. Instead of losing rich and fertile
portion of the State, our lawmakers would
rather add to the taxable property, and thereby
increase the revenue of the State Treasury, in
which they are so deeply interested. But we
COPY the statement of the correspondent afore-
said, who is gentleman of veracity, and doubt
less obtained his information from what he
deemed authentic sources:
One of the most desirable sections of the
"Palmetto State" including the whole of Oco-
nee and portion of Anderson District is sit
uated between the Tugalo and the Seneca.
The t inhabitants of this rich and pleasant
country are making arrangements to become
an integral part of Georgia by the process of
nnueunfion Liberal subscriptions in money
have been obtained to defray the expenses Of
transfer. sThe Governors brother-in-law, who
is & lawyer, has undertaken the job in Colum-
bia, and if not successful, he is to make no
charge for his services" This is no hoax.
The movement is o reality, and It means bust
ness Exhorbitant taxation, and nothing but
debt to show for it, is the reason given for wish
ing to withdraw from poor old South Carolina,

REPUBLICANIsM in France has not been
completely crushed by the present govern
ment. On Sunday the 10th instant there
were elections of counsellors- general in nine
departments. The republicans were success
full in all but three cantons, an | in two ofthese
there was no choice. In the city of Lyons
the radical candidate was elected by more
than two to one. The project of the RhoDe
had forbidden the posting of this candidates
address on the walls, and the election showed
how little difference the interdict made.
The Journal DIES Dsbdts warns the govern
ment that its course is leading directly to
radical success, but says this is a truth which
will unhappily be recognized too late.
