Signor savano remained in Anderson lover
Friday night, delighting large audiences with
his tricks of magic and gifts innumerabie. On
the last evening, the capital prize consisted Of
lady's gold watch, which was won by an
exceedingly clever fellow, who sold it the next
day for $25, preferring greenbacks to gold
The Signor left for Pendleton on Saturday
afternoon, but promises 70 embrace this town
in his next annual tour.
The most genuine and thoroughly wintry
day we have experienced in this vicinity for
the present season was Monday last. Fast as
the rain fell, it was frozen upon TIE trees and
shrubbery, and the earth was thickly crusted
with ice in hard places. Sunday was moder'
at and pleasant day, until the afternoon, when
the clouds began to thicken, and the thermom-
eter fell rapidly. The change was sudden and
unexpected, but it was no greater than that
which succeeded the freeze on Monday, for
Tuesday morning was bright and beautiful
With the sun dispelling even the muddy traces
Of Mondays rain and slosh.
We had the pleasure last week of meeting
With Mr.. W. S. Reese, q former resident Of
Anderson, who has been living in Atlanta foI
several wears. He was warmly and cordially
received by numerous friends, who were glad
to see his familiar face in our town once more
he has recently become connected with the
popular and aourishing house Of A. G. & B. F,
WHY, wholesale grocers and provision dealers
of Atlanta, whose position and business equals
any house in the Southern country, we are
informed. Mr.. Reese is travelling through
upper South Carolina for the purpose of ex.
tending the trade of this firm and offering
special inducements to merchants, and we have
NO doubt he will meet with unbounded success
as he is known far and wide as an excellent
salesman. The business card of the Messrs
