BRIEF AEN11ON.
The Ladies of the Sewing Society have
ice cream at MI. J. R. Smiths store al
five o'clock, Thursday afternoon.
Rev. 8. Lander, President of the Will
lian,sson Female College, will preach in
the Methodist Church at this place on
Sunday night next.
Read the advertisement of Capt. W. s.
Sharpe, in which are many testimonials
to the worth of the Brown Cotton Gln'
for which ho is the agent at this place.
See the advertisement of Messrs. B. F.
Cravton g. Sons. They are agents for the
celebrated ssWedge and T"' cotton ties'
which have won such just reputation
for excellence.
We are requested to announce that all
land owners along Mountain Greek, are
reouested to meet at Norris Ford, on
Wednesday, the 2Sth inst, to consult
relative to measures for the drainage OF
this creek.
Mr.. A. C. Keys brought us a specimen
of the Cheatham cotton. It is beautifully
formed. and there can be'no doubt that it
is a superior cotton as nearly all the
forms are twins. 1t would be well If this
improved seed could be more generally
iutneduced into our county.
Ou;te numbr of persons left Ander-
son on Tuesday and yesterday Tor wal
halla to attend the Reunion of Orr's
Regiment. The meeting took place yes
terdav. and was doubtless quite q
nleasant occasion. A report of its pro-
ceedines may be expected next week.
There is to be Temperance Pic Mic at
New Prospect on Saturday, the 3lst inst.
A large attendancei is locked for, and sew
eral speeches on the Temperance ques-
ton may be expected. The Division at
this place is in q dourishing condition..
The pupils Of Col. Lomax's school pro-
pose having Pic Mic on Saturday, the
3lst inst, near the residence of DR.. +. u.
CARPENTER. An invitation to address the
school upon some subject connected
with education has been extended to r..
B. Murray.
We are requested to announce that the
next meeting of the second Union Dis
trict of the Saluda Baptist Association
will convene at Meals Creek Church on
Saturday before the fifth Sunday in Au-
gust. 1t will embrace the fifth Sunday
in that month.
We learn that meeting to organize q
Temperance Society was held at Hope
we'll Church on Saturday last. MIR. T.
K. McCully was requested to act as
Chairman, and Mr.. G. F. Tolly made an
earnest and telling speech. Twenty-one
charter members were received.
Persons having doubts concerning the
protitableness of water melon culture
cannot be convinced unless the expe-
rience of Mr.. J. W. Lewis will satisfy
them. Up to the 18th inst. he had sold
shirty-fve dollars worth OF water melons
this wear from about the eighth OF ao
acre. Cotton growing is poor business
compared with such returns.
Persons living on the roads leading TO
Sloan's Ferry and Centreville from Ar
derson complain that trees blown down
by the storm some weeks since have
been allowed TO remain across these
roads. thereby inconveniencing travel.
The commissioners should have this at
tended to, and it would also he well to
have the holes in Main street, just this
side of Col. Roberts, filed up, as they are
very bad, and would require very little
work to remedy them for the summer, at
least.
We had the pleasure of meeting }. Z.
Bailey, Esq, Editor of the Enterprise d
Mountai,,eer, who was in town last week
attending the Commencement exercises
of the Carolina Collegiate Institute IL
ia the first occasion he ever spent any
length of time in Anderson, and we trust
the exercises of the Commencement sue
ceeded in giving him favorable opinion
of our town.
We are requested by Maj. F. c. v.
Borstel, Superintendent Of the Thlrd
Union District of the Sabbath School AS
sociation, to state that the next meeting
Of that Association will be held with the
Church Union at Mountain Creek on
Saturday before the fifth Sunday in Au-
pust next at ten o'clock A. NJ. An cleo
ton of officers for the ensuing year and
other important business will claim the
attention of the body at that time. A full
attendance is desired.
On Thursday night, July the Sth inst,
q white man applied to an old colored
man, named Ned Majors, living in the
Fork. one mile above Andersonville, to
permit him to stay at his house that
night. Majors permitted him to remain.
Next morning the man sought his oppor-
tunitv, captured the old mans watch
and left. He is described as middle aged,
about five feet six or eight inches high,
light eyes, sandy colored beard and hair,
stoop shouldered, and his left shoulder
had been broken and sticks up, he said
by being blown up in we'll. He would
,,a+ toll his name. but said he was from
