Both editors are away this week, and any
improvement in the InteLigencer for this
issue may be attributed to the ''deyil," who
has full sway for brief season.
The Elberton Gazette says that F. Graft,
on the Savannah River. is running four
boats regularly to Augusta, and at one ship
ment last week he carried 800 bales of cotton.
The Emmonsville Ne.us records the death
ofRey. Allen McCorquodale, an aged and
highly respected minister of the South Caro-
lima Conference, who died in Bishopville on
Saturday, 18th inst, after protracted ILL
ness. The deceased was native of Scot
land, and was well known to many Of our
readers.
The spartanburg Spartan, in speaking of
the anniversary orations before the literary
societies of Woford College, pays high
compliment to our young friend, Mr.. ]. G.
Clinkscales, who was chosen orator of the
Preston Literary Society,", and acquitted him
self with great credit.
We have been informed BY Col. ]. Cox
Gass that there will be q drove of fine Ten
nessee hogs at this place about next Weanes-
day or Thursday. This news will be hailed
with delight by the lovers of sausage and
chitterings. We do not know at what
,,r;nnoj II, an, oro tn no anld
Saleday in December promises to be an
important one in Anderson. There is to be
very large quantity of land sold by the
Sheriff, and there will be mass meeting in
the interests of the Blue Ridge Railroad. 1t
Is probable more persons will be here on
that day than have assembled at Anderson
at one time in several years.
The Greenyille Ne.rs states that q colored
boy named John johnson, supposed to be
from. Anderson County, offered steer for
sale one day last week in Greenville. The
low price at which the animal was offered
excited the suspicion of Capt. Greer, chiefof
police, and he arrested Johnson, who con-
sessed he had stolen the animal from Mr.. A.
Rice, of Anderson County. Johnson made
his escape, but Capt Greer has the steer,
awaiting the owner.
A note from Mr.. NJ. W. Newton informs
us that he had the luck Of killing ON eagle
on his premises, near the line OF Pickens
and Anderson, the other day. The bird
measured seven feet from tip to tip, had
claws three inches long, and beak near
thres inches, very hooked. he saw the
eagle aEght to the ground, and threw
rock, which struck it on the head and killed
it instantly.
A postal card from the proprietor and
manager of the Clara Wildman Theatrical
Company informs us that this toup will be
in Anderson in the course of a few days.
This nsWs win be received with delight by
our citizens, and especially by those whose
GOOD fortune 1t was to attend the Splendid
ontertainmens of this Company during
their visit to this place last winter. Come
ahead, Clara; andwe bespeak for you lib
eral patronage.

The bridges over the Railroad cut in town
sre in bad order, with the exception of the
road bridge on Main Street. and should, if
possible, be attended to. McDufae Street
has for some time been stopped up by its
unsafe bridge, and the sidewalk bridge on
Main Street is decayed and insecure, though
it is used without any immediate appearance
ofdanger, Our town authorities should try
once more to look after our interests by in
ducingor compelling the railroad company
to rebuild them.
We are much gratifed at the deserved
promotion of our friend and townsman, Mr..
A. B. Towers, who was elected last week to
.,tlle honorable position of Grand Worthy
Patriarch of the Sons of Temperance in
South Carolina He was the unanimous
choice of the delegates, we understand, and
we are' confident will meet their eIpecta-
tions as the head Of the order. For more
than quarter of a century, Mr.. Towers has
illustrated the principles of this noble insti-
tuition in his daily walk and conservation,
and proven himself unfaltering in principle
and seclous in good works. Such men de-
serve the honors of their associates.
Our enterprising townsman, Maj. A. R.
Broyles, has recently purchased the splendid
plgatation, known as the Maxwell place,
lying about three miles above the town Of
Townville, for which he paid the sum Of
$4,000 cash. While We will regret very
much to see the Major leave Anderson, We
cannot refrain from congratulating the peo-
pile of the Fork upon so valuable an addi-
ton to their already large number of Sue
cessful and enterprising farmers. We un-
derstand, however, that Maj. Broyles does
not intend removing to his new home until
the latter part of next year.
We learn that the Sons of Temperance
of this place contemplate giving fair or hot
supper during the Christmas holidays, for the
purpose Of raising funds to eid them in
making additional Improvements on their
hall. Committees have been appointed to
wait upon our citizens and solicit donations
in the nay of edibles or fancy work, and in
fact any thing that will be of service to them
in making their entertainment success.
An this entertainment will be given in the
interest of so noble and praiseworthy cause
