BRIEF MENTION.

Cotton remains steady at fifteen cents for mid
dlings. Very little offering.
Tuesday last was a regular March day, and
overcoats were in demand.
The ladies' have come out in the latest spring
styles, and look charming.
The clover patches around town are the most
luxuriant that we have ever seen for the time
of year, and promise abundant yields.
The many friends of the Rev. Robert King
WILDE glad to learn that he is improving, and
will soon be restored to his former strength.
We are requested by the Worthy Patriarch of
Anderson Division, No. l, to state that there
will;be no meeting of that body on this Thurs
dayl evening. The Division will meet as usual
on next Thursday evening.
Aiprotracted meeting in the Baptist Church
has been in-progress since Sunday last, with
increasing interest. Rev. 0. +. Gregory OF
Charleston, has been preaching every night
with unusual earnestness and power.
We are glad to see that good, substantial
work has been done on the street going in the
direction of the Presbyterian Church. The
sidewalk opposite the Ladies' Store has been
raised, and is now in an excellent condition.
One of the Town ,Marshals informs us that
there is one place in town where the civil rights
law is strictly observed, and no objections
made; where the lion and the lamb can lay
down together undisturbed in their repose.
The name of that place is the "Calaboose."
Again have we been visited by copious show
ers, which have rendered the sidewalks and
roads in bad condition, and retarded the pro-
gress of our farming community. Saturday
and Sunday last were wet, sloppy, disagreca-
bic days, and quite a storm passed over the
town on Saturday night, which brought visions
of cyclones, tornadoes, ETC., to our minds.
We are sorry to announce the death OF Mrs.
Mary McCown, mother-in-law of our worthy
townsman, Mr. VIM. McGukin, which sad
event occurred at her residence, six miles
south of this place, on Friday last from pneu-
monia. The deceased was most estimable
lady, and during the long period Of her life
was ever a devoted and consistent Christian.
She was in the 18th year of her age.
We were shown on Tuesday last, Alfred
Rodens Improved Cultivator, manufactured
at Oxford, Ala. This Cultivator is different
from any that we have ever seen. 1t has two
beams 10 winch can De aCtdCueu Minus
Of plows, and these can be regulated by iron
braces which connect the beams together, SO
as to suit the nature of the ground. One plow
opens the furrow, while the other covers, thus
doing the work of two single plows. Mr..
r. G. Roberts, the agent, was in town, and
sold to Mr.. w. J. Hix the rights for the Coun-
ties of Anderson and Oconee.
Mr.. G. A. Reed, the proprietor of the "Empo-
rum of Fashion, situated in the Waverly
building, has just received large and we'll
selected stock of ladies' dress goods, hats,
shoes, ribbons, ETC., fresh from the fashionable
emporiums of the North, which he proposes to
sell at the lowest figures. This extensive es-
tablishment is under the superintendence OF
Mrs. J. B. MCGEE and Mrs. Sloan, both of
whom are experienced in the business, and
will take great pleasure in attending to the
wants Of the ladies. Connected with the "Em-
rum" is the dress making and millinery de-
partment, where dresses of the most improved
STYLES are made, and hats trimmed to suit the
seasons.
