to make early application to this Office. The

ter days, and yields reluctantly to the pressure,
which is caused by the non-appearance of de-
linquent subscribers.
Miss Mary Ina Morse, daughter Of Rev. A. A.
Morse, died at her fathers residence in Gaines
ville Ala, on the 9th of November, after a
short illness. She was an estimable young

At about II m. on Wednesday, plank kiln
near the new residence Of Mr.. S. II. Langston,
on McDutie street, caught on fire, and was
soon consumed. There was 1900 feet of lum-
Der destroyed, making loss of about $25.
Considerable excitement prevailed for time,
as every one thought it was his dwelling.
Sheriff McGukin has been engaged for seve-
raj days in an Intellectual search for the venera-
BILE cooked hat and sword so long the happy
possession of his predecessors. He will be
compelled to resign the office, unless these
relics of the past can be procured III ample time
for needed repairs before the next term of
Court.
Messrs. Simpson, Hill & Co. are still making
Improvements, and adding to the beauty and
attractiveness of the interior of their Drug
Store in the Benson House. During the past
week they have put up handsome counters,
which are painted and grained so as to repre-
sent different kinds of marble. They present
beautiful appearance.
We learn that the extensive brick building
belonging to Capt. Daniels, on Main street,
near the residence of Rev. L. NJ. Aver, has
been rented by Messrs. David Stephens, New
ton Scott, Jesse Fant and ". a. Fant These
gentlemen intend carrying on the blacksmith
and carriage and buggy business on a large
SCALE They are experienced mechanics, and
we wish them success.
We direct attention to the advertisement Of
Richard Tozer, Columbia, who manufactures
agricultural engines of the best quality. Quite
number of these engines are in operation In
Anderson County, and afford general satisfac-
tior to tho purchasers. Messrs. n. X. Sullivan
& Co. are the authorized agents, and will take
pleasure in giving specific information to par
ties wishing to purchase.
AS time rolls on, wonders never cease. We
are reliably informed that during the Christ
mas holidays shooting match will take place
at the Fair Grounds The prizes are to be old
bachelors and widowers, and the contestants
old maids and widows. 1t is said that many
of the old maids have commenced practicing
already. This will be a long ways better than
shooting for turkeys. Won't it?
The lawyers are trying to circumvent the
order of Judge Cooke in regard to their habits
not that any of them are chargeable with un-
lawful habits, however. But it is suggested
that it would prove economical to organize
Joint stock companies, by which they will be
enabled to purchase black coats enough to an
swer every purpose of the entire bar. Ihe
plan is to procure assorted sizes, and form the
members of the bar into three or four firms,
and take it time about in attending Court.
The annual meeting of the Grand Division,
Sons of Temperance. was held in Columbia
last week. Among the visitors was F. M.

suited in the choice of w. D. Leitner, Esq, of
Camden, for Grand Worthy Patriarch, and
A. B. Towers, Of Anderson was elected Grand
Chaplain. We understand that quarterly
meeting of the Grand Division will be held at
this place in August next.
