ed light in few days.
We are informed that the celebrated DIR.
Thomas G. Lane, who makes a specially of all
species of impediment of speech and asthnatc
affections, will visit Anderson in a few days.
His visit is to cure all affected with the above
diseases.
About twenty German immigrants arrived in
town on Tuesday evening last. They were Or
dered by B. F. Crayton, Esq, and will be en-
gagged on farms within the county. These i'm
grants are quite acquisition, as labor is bad
ly needed in our county.
The Pendleton road, which was worked some
time ago by the workmen under the manage
ment Of Mr.. VIM. G. Clark, is now in q very
bad condition, and it is hoped that some meas
ures will be adopted to put it in condition to
accommodate the travelling community.
We had the pleasure of call on Tuesday last
from Mr.. John r. Christian, Editor Of the
Times and Planter, lively and interesting
journal, published at Sparta, Ga. Mr.. Chris
tian was here in the interests of his paper, and
We hope that its subscriptions may enlarge in
our State.
The far-famed Berger Family will make their
appearance at this place on Friday evening
next. They are attended with several expert
enced comedians who aid materially in max
ing the entertainments given as interesting and
pleasing as possible. We bespeak for them
crowded house.
We learn that Gov, Chamberlain has reap
pointed B. D. Dean, Esq, as Treasurer OF An
derson County. Mr.. Dean is good selection,
having filled the office of County Treasurer Of
this County for the past two years with satis-
faction and ability, and we feel sure that his
re-appointment will be hailed with delight by
the citizens of our County.
Monday last, Saleday, was day of unusual
interest to the people of the County. Various
valuable tracts of lands were sold, as well as
other property of minor Importance. The old
swapping ground was thronged during the day
with those who desired to better themselves in
the way of horse flesh, and many swaps, both
for better and worse were made The votaries
of John Barleycorn were not behind hand in
showing themselves off to advantage.
In the matter of Henry Ledbetter for the
homicide of Burrell Owens, writ in ha6eas
corpus was issued, returnable before John
Wilson and G. w. Hammond, two of the Trial
Justices for the County of Anderson. On the
hearing, the evidence on affidavits was of such
a character as induced the said Justices to grant
bail on bond of the principal for Sooo, ana
one surety for SlO0, the evidence showing that
the killing was justifable. Messrs. Harrison
g. Whiteield appeared for the accused.
The Abbeville Press and Banner, referring
to Judge Cookies order as to the habit OF the
legal fraternity, says: "The order makes no
mention of pants, and we suppose that they do
not come within the purview Of the order.
Perhaps the Judge remembers the reply of
member of the Anderson Bar, on certain oc-
casion, to Judge O'Neall who objected to his
striped pants, that the rule of Court did not re-
quire the barrister to wear any pants at all.
De n,ini,nis lee non curat-the law disregards
such small things as pants"
We are panied to record the sudden death OF
Mr.. J. Milton Brown, which sad event occurreu
at his residence at Townville, in this county,
on Sunday morning last. Mr.. Brown had been
i'll for some days with neuralgia OF Inc heao'
but was improving, when on Sunday morning
his mother administered dose of medicine.
The medicine given produced vomiting, and in
the act he ruptured blood vessel, which caused
death in a few moments. Mr.. Brown was the
brother of Col. J. N. and Mr.. w. 8. Brown, Of
this place, and was beloved and respected by
all who knew him. Up to the time of his death
he had been engaged in merchandising at
1ownvillc. He leaves behind to mourn his
loss kind wife and loving children, besides a
host of relatives and friends. Our sympathies
are with the bereavcd ones.
