BRIEF MENTION.

BRIEF MEN1ION
We understand that fishing party visited
Rocky River one day last week, and despite
the united efforts of the whole party, and an
entire afternoon spent, only two m'nhows
were caught. How Is that for high?
The gentlemen comprising the 'Harmonia
Club" have rented and fitted up handsome
club.room in the third story over the store of
Mr.. A. P. Hubbard, where they practice on
Tuesday and Friday nights. They furnish ex-
cellent music.
Mrs. Frances Richie, consort of Mr.. David
Richie, died at her residence ten miles north
west of this place on Friday morning last, af-
ter long and painful illness, occasoned by
dropsy. The deceased lady was about thirty
five years old.
We are informed by Mr.. J. H. Won Hasseln,
the efficient clerk of the County Auditor, that
out of the large amount of $4,000 State, County
and Poll taxes which were levied upon this
County, only Sl27 was returned nulla bona
This speaks we'll for the banner County of the
State
We observe that Mr.. A. Summer Todd, who
received his diploma in the art preservative
from this Office, has been promoted by the
Dalton (Ga.) Citizen, and is now the assistant
local of that excellent journal. May success
attend him all the days of his pilgrimage in the
newspaper business.
The Harmonic Club have kindly consent
ed to furnish the music for the Anderson The
atrical Company on Saturday night next, and
all persons of whatever sex or age wishing to
enjoy excellent music and first-class acting,
should go to Masonic Hall on the above night.
Admission, only fifty cents.
The Strawberry Festival on Friday evening
was complete success, and the ladies realized
upwards of seventy dollars from the enter
tainment. The hall was handsomely decora-
ted, the assemblage was pleasant and agreea-
BILE, and the refreshments were profuse, tempt
ing and delicious. One feature is worthy OF
especial mention, that the charges were ex-
ceedingly moderate, even less than such luxu-
ries ordinarily cost.
We regret to announce the death of Mrs DR..
Jasper Browne, which occurred at the resi-
dence of her husband near Storeville, on Tues
day morning Mrs. Browne was stricken with
paralysis on last Friday night, and fingered
unconscious from that time. She was the
daughter of the late Robert Smith, and has
many relatives and friends who will mourn
her untimely death. Her funeral took place
yesterday, at Ebenezer Church.
A flying trapeze, or horses, was put up in
Mr. T. M Whites yard on Saturday last, which
greatly amuses both old and young. 1t is &C
companied by hand organ or grinding ma
chine, the inspiring strains of which excite the
intrepid riders OF f., deeds of daring, such as
taking rings, etc. 1t was largely patronized
late Saturday evening, and in the dim twilight
might be observed the pcrtly forms of three
gentlemen Of mature years, who were boldly
riding around to the tune of the "Mulligan
Guards and each mentally circulating
'Would were boy again."
We learn that during the late sitting Of the
Auditors Convention in the city of Columbia,
Mr. Thomas J. Webb, our able and efficient
County Auditor, received the highest praise
from the Comptroller General, the Chief Clerk,
and many Of the Auditors from other Coun-
ties, for the neatness, correctness and regulari-
ty of his tax duplicate book. It was conceded
by all to be the best kept book present, and it
would certainly have taken prize, if any had
been offered. Our County officers are among
the best and most competent the State affords,
and they are never derelict in duty.
