THE INTELLIGENCER.
LOCAL MATTERS.
BRIEF MENTION.

AS we go to press, the Ladies' Store is
crowded with visitors who are inspecting
the rare display of elegant and beautiful
goods arranged for the Grand Opening.
We regret to announce the death Of Mr..
John Dalrylnple an aged citizen of our
County, which occurred at his residence,
some miles northeast of this place, on last
Thursday afternoon.
Rev. J. D. Mccullough, of Spartanburg,
will preach regularly hereafter in the Epls-
copal Church of this place, on the fourth
Sabbath in each month. He also supplies
the church at Pendleton once month.
Bishop Howe, of the Episcopal Church,
was on q visit to Anderson during the last
week, and delivered interesting sermons in
Grace Church on Sunday last, morning and
afternoon. His little flock in this parish
were much encouraged by the Bishops
visit.
We are indebted to the managers for an
invitation to an entertainment of charades
and tableaux vivants, to be given in Seneca
City on Friday evening, the oath inst, for
the benefit of the Church at that place.
This is laudable enterprise and should re-
ceive liberal patronage.
Mr.. J. Reese FAINT returned home on last
Tuesday morning from trip to Rochester,
N. Y, whittier be had been on matrimonial
business. 1t is useless to add that his trip
was an eminently successful one as he
brought his bride back with him. May
happiness and prosperity ever attend their
lives.
For the benefit of the gentlemen of the
Law in our community who may have busi-
ness in the Court of Bankruptcy, we will
state that Judge Bryan will sit, at Chambers,
at the new Court House in Greenville OH the
osth and 10Th instants, for the purpose OF
hearing motions and passing orders in bank
ruptcy.
A splendid opening for young men, mid
-dle-aged men and old men, who are sub
scribers to the Anderson Iateuigencer, is now
offered. The privilege is accorded them to
make an examination of our subscription
books, where their names are duly recorded,
and which will reveal much curious, inter
esting and valuable information. Office
hours from a. m. to 6 p. m.
"Cheap for cash" is no longer the motto
of one of our merchants. He says that it is
best to sell cheaper on a credit, for then in
case the debt remains unpaid his losses will
not be so heavy. We intend to make him
carry this theory into practice, and will ut
terly refuse to divulge his name, as we want
to keep him on this line for our own exclu-
siye benefit.
Messrs. Arnstein &, Rose have received
large and well selected stock in the various
lines of dry goods store, and will be
pleased to have the business public of our
County call and examine their stock at the
store formerly occupied by Messrs. Lewis O.
Co., on Granite Row. They will doubtless
build up fine trade by their energy and
enterprise.
The equinoctial storm was slightly ahead
of time this year, and gave the inhabitants
of this region an unexpected visit on Friday
and Saturday last, when fires and winter
clothing were decidedly agreeable. The fall
has now set in with carncstncss, and we
shall bid farewell for season to light fab
RIGS, open windows, flies and mosquitoes.
The last named is not invited to return SO
numerously, at least.
We are glad to see that the Town Marshal,
Mr.. Clark, has been making some substan-
tial improvements upon the northern por-
ton of Main street. Among other sensible
work, he has had quantity of sand thrown
upon the sidewalk in front of Mrs, Iodds
residence, and thereby rendered this very
muddy hillside more agreeable for pedcstri-
ans. Now is the time for work upon the
streets to be pushed with vigor, as q little
now is worth more than q great deal after
the rainy season sets in.
The revival meeting at the Cross Roads
Church ended on Sunday night, after being
in progress exactly two weeks, resulting in
the addition of lightweight persons to the
membership. Thirteen were received by
letter and sevcnty-fve by experience. The
administration of the baptismal ordinance,
owing to unavoidable circumstances, was
postponed until next Sabbath morning at
ten o'clock. A large congregation attended
the service on last Sunday, and listened to
an able sermon by the pastor, Rev. E. R.
Carswell, who up to that time had preached
twenty-five sermons during the meeting.
He was assisted one or two days by Rev.
E. C. Rice The meeting has been remark
able one, and the deep solemnity pcryading
every gathering of the people, day and night,
with the utmost propriety and decorum on
the part of all, are mentioned as marked
and interesting features of the meeting.
