THE INTELLIGENCER.
LOCAL MATTERS.
BRIEF MENTION,

Note the change in the advertisement o.
H.B. FAINT. Instead of two hundred ano
fifty seven acres it should have been three
hundred and two.
We are indebted to Washington Reeves, a
colored man, for a specimen OF his sweet
potato crop-some nice white yams. Early
and acceptable.
A handsome monument has been erected
over the grave of the late Hon. James L. Orr
in the Presbyterian Cemetery at this place, a
description of which is crowded out this
week, but will appear in our next ISSUE
One of our citizens, who was Jealous
supporter of the citizens ticket, remarked
after tho election was declared on Monday
evening that he felt like Lazarus. When
asked how, he replied he felt like he had
been licked by the dogs.
We are requested to state that the train
will run from this place to Pendleton Fac
tory and return on next Sabbath, for the
purpose of accommodating persons desirous
of attending the colored Association, which
meets near that place. The fare for the
round trip will be sixty cents.
An obituary notice in the A. R. Presbyte-
-ian records the death of Mr.. Samuel Stew
art in Union County, Mississippi, on the 9Th
of july last, in the 18th year of his age.
Mr.. Stewart was native of Anderson
County. and some thirty years ago removed
from this State.
Mr.. J. Harvey Little of this County has
mule forty lone years Of age that has done
full work this season, having ploughed
crop of twenty acres. This mule was driven
to town on last Saleday and appeared more
sprightly than many of its tribe that are
considerably younger.
Our friend, Rev. George F. Round, who
is stationed in Edgeield this year, had the
misfortune to lose another one of his chill
dren during the last week or two-a bright
little boy of two or three years. His little
George was buried last Christmas, and now
another has gone to join the angel throng
We tender sincere sympathy in this
deep afaiction.
Rev. L. M. Aver, the recent pastor of the
Baptist Church in this Town, who removed
last winter to Jefferson, Texas, to take
charge of the Church there, has returned
to this country, having found the climate OF
the latter place unhealthy. He arrived,
with his family, in Anderson on last Tues
day morning. We are glad to greet them
in our midst again.
One of the many non-rcsidents, who was
claiming vote at the recent election but
who had not been in town for over six
months, gave as his reason for wishing to
vote that he was a citizen of the town
and had had some of his washing done here.
One of the by-standers remarked to him that
the washing consisted of two shirts, which
were detained for some of his debts and
had been cleansed since his departure. He
did not vote.
We have received from the Superintend-
ent. Col. J. P. Thomas, the official register
of the Carolina Military Institute for 1871
rs. with circular for 1S75-'76. The register
gives list of the cadets in attendance upon
the exercises last session, with the name of
the parents and the standing of each pupil
in each several study and discipline. The
circular sets forth in an apt and forciblc
manner the designs of the institute for the
future.
Several of our readers have asked us
about the statement of our Texas correspon-
dent that Col Elam Sharpe, the former
member of the Pendletoa Agricultural So
ciety, was now living in Texas. Our cor
respondent is mistaken. The Col. Elam
Sharpe to whom he refers is son of Maj Elan
Sharpe who was the member of the agri-
cultural society as stated in an article in this
paper some time since Major Sharpe was
the father of Dr. NJ. L. Sharpe, of our Town,
and lived at Pendleton. He has been dead
for some years.
