Middling cotton is worth to-day "wednesday
14l cents, cash.
The meeting closed at the Baptist Church on
Sunday night resulting in six accesssions to-
its membership. The ordinance Of baptism
will be observed on next Sunday afternoon at
the usual place.
The Carosel, or flying horses, left town en-
Monday last and many wistful glances were
cast after the dray upon which they were being
conveyed to the Depot by the youths who had
enjoyed their sojourn by frequent rides.
We learn that Henry Burton, the colored
man who attempted to outrage young lady
near Mountain Creek some time ago, and es-
capped, was captured by constable Brooks in
Abbeville County last week, and brought to
this place and lodged in Jail.
The Hon. L. Cass Carpenter has appointed
Mr.. James II. Mcconnell as Deputy Internal
Revenue Collector for the Third District Of
South Carolina. better selection could not
have been made as Mr.. Mcconnell has always
been an able and efficient officer, and we feel
confident that he will discharge the duties Of
his new Office satisfactorily to all.
The funeral services of the late Rev. Andrew
H. Cornish took place at Pendleton on Wednes-
day evening, in the presence of large concourse
of sorrowing friends. The religious services
were conducted by Rev. P. F. Stevens, Of An
derson, assisted by Rev. Ellison Capers, Of
Greenville. His remains were consigned to
the grave with the usual honors of the Mason
ic fraternity, Of which he was an exemplary
and beloved member.
Divine worship, according to the rites Of the
Roman Catholic Church, was celebrated at the
residence of Capt. John McGrath on Sunday
last, by the Rev. A. M. Folchi, formerly Of
Charleston, but now Of Greenville. About
fifty members were present, and the ceremo-
nies were solemn and impressive. A Catholic
Church is to be erected at Greenville at an ear
ly day, and after its completion steps will be
at once taken to build one at this place.
The examination of the pupils Of Bolton
Academy took place at Bolton on Thursday
last, and was creditable alike to all concerned.
Addresses appropriate to the occasion were de-
livered by DR.. w. C. Brown, M. E. Mitchell
end Warren D. Wilkes Esq. This lourishihg
Academy is under the able management Of
Mr.. C. B. Williams, the Principal, and al
though it was begun but short time ago, 1t ia
destined to become an institution Of considera-
BILE note.
The Town authorities have entirely renova-
ted the old Market House on Main Street. and
it now presents neat and handsome appear
ance. Both the exterior and interior of the
building have received new coats Of white
waslis and the blinds have been painted green.
The floor is nicely sanded, and the interior is
divided into two apartments-onef for butchers
stalls and the other for the buyers the two be-
ing separated by lattice-work. This improve
ment has been badly needed. and we are glad
to see that our ''city fathers" have taken step
in the right direction.
We are sorry to learn that our respected
townsman and fellow-citizen, Mr.. Thomas M.
White, met with severe accident, by which
his arm was broken near the wrist, on Friday
night last 1t seems that Mr.. White had just
finished supper, and came out to sit down upon
the lower piazza of the old Benson House,
where he resides, when he put one foot down,
thinking to touch the steps, which he imagined
were lust beneath him, and fell on his arm and
side breaking one bone Of the arm near the
wrist, and njuring his side. The piazza from
which he fell is about six feet from the ground,
and he narrowly escaped striking his head
against large stone which was lying on the
ground below. He is now able to be out, and
wa hone that he will soon recover from the
injuries he sustained.
