In giving the list of ministers who assisted
at the ordination of Rev. James K. rant, the
name of our venerable and much beloved
brother, Rev. Robert King, was inadvertently
omitted. We are glad to state, in this connec-
ton, that Mr.. King has recovered from recent
injuries, and is now in his usual health.
Rain in abundant quantities has visited this
section during the past week, and in some To-
calities, owing to the heavy washes, 1t has
done no little injury. On the plantation OF Mr.
John Dalrymple, on Six and Twenty Creek, 1t
ruined about twenty acres OF corn, ana washeo
away much wheat which had been shocked up
in the bottoms.
Our young and enterprising friend, Mr.. John
B. Harrison, the representative of the extern
sive and fourishing boot and shoe establish
ment of T. J. Magruder & Co., OF Baltimore,
will leave town next week for the Boston man
ufactories, whittier he goes to assist in select
ing the fall stock for his house. Mr.. Harrison
is we'll versed in his business, and Will no
doubt make selections suitable for his many
customers South.
We were shown on Monday last, at the store
of Messrs. McGrath d Byrum, the giant shoe,
No. 50, made by Messrs. Werner q F1lzlnger,
of Walhalla It contains one kip skin for the
upper and quarter; one side oak sole leather
for the sole, and is lined with two sheep skins.
AS feet don't grow quite as large here as in
Walhalla, it will be used as house of refuge
for small men who get too heavy for easy nav
igation.
We have received the annual catalogue Of the
Duo West Female College, showing the num-
y
lib. The institution is under the charge of
Rev. J. I. Bonner, D. D., which is sufficient
guarantee of its thoroughness and efficiency.
The catalogue is handsomely printed at Due
West by Mr.. B. G. DuPre, publisher of the
4. r. Presbyterian, and is highly creditablo to
his taste and skill in the art preseryative.
The Greenville Daily NeaVs makes the an
nexed ample apology to one of our prominent
citizens, and we are inclined to believe that 1t
will be accepted. We want to see the "Major'
when he dons the wardrobe of Bro. Speights: {:
eve have recently learned that We uninten-
tionally neglected and insulted our very best
friend, Maj. B. F. Crayton, of Anderson, by
falling, after promising, to loan him our "claw
hammer coat" with brass mountings and silver
tassels, in which to appear at reception. The
failure to furnish it to him was entirely unin-
territorial, and we apologize, because we can't
afford to lose our best friends at time when
our enemies are increasing and becoming
pugilistic. The Major is welcome to the use of
our entire wardrobe, including our hickory"
shirt, when he visits Greenville."
saleday has come and gone, and one accus-
toned to the hustle and excitement of such
occasions in the past, would have hardly real
lied this important fact. Monday last was the
eventful day without any events, however,
save those gotten up by the small crowd who
congregated in front of the Court House for
the purpose of weather gossip, etc. There
were no. sales. We saw one fellow looking
for a Trial Justice to have somebody bound
over to keep the peace for daring to say that he
was the best man in the County. What has
become of the liberty of free speech?
We learn that Col. Thomas Francis Greneker,
editor of the Newberry Herald, has. secured
the Agency for the Torpedo Chicken, which is
Just now attracting so much attention among
poultry fanciers. This splendid invention Is
destined to create revolution in the chicken
business, and make the feathered tribe far more
numerous than ever before known, since 1t Is
sure and certain preventive against the dep
relations of poultry thieves. 1t is an exact
imitation of the chicken, made Of iron and
things, and whenever it is touched by the
wrong person, torpedo within makes an ex-
plosion sufficient to arouse the neighborhood.
In one instance, whero an explosion took place,
a certificate states that "tho body of the ma
chino was blown to atoms, but its two legs
wero found intact, tightly grasped by hugo
black hand, which had been literally torn from
the arm. Death mover held tighter to dead
nigger than this niggors dead hand grasped
those two.chicken legs" Col. Greneker is the
only authorized agent for the State of South
Carolina, and wishes to dispose of county
rights upon reasonable terms. Send him your
name and post Office, and enclose three cent
postage stamp for reply, when further particu-
lars will be made known. Exchanges please
