Messrs. FAINT & Co.
L. R. McAboy, jr., agent of the Erie City
Iron Works, was on brief visit to Ander-
son last week. He will return again in

The Greenville Neps records the fact that
the dwelling of Mr.. Rogers, in Anderson
County, eight miles from Greenville, was
burned down last week, and his mother-in-
law, Mrs. Durham, was consumed in the
flames. She was in feeble health, and was
the only person in the house when the fire
broke out.
The delegate, from across the mountains
to the Railroad Convention were fine
looking and imposing set of men, besides
being the cleverest fellows in the world.
AS to their stature among humanity, we
will mention that four members of COM
mittee measured twenty-five feet! This is
positive fact.
A telegram was received here on Friday,
after the Railroad Convention had adjourn
ed, from Capt. S. Y. Tupper, President of

Charleston would give cordial welcome to

Charleston never fails in hospitality.
The furniture business of our friend, Mr..
G. T. Tolly, has been growing so constantly
that he is compelled to enlarge his facilities
for the display of goods, and workmen are
now engaged in preparing another room in
the basement story for the reception of fur
niture. There is nothing wonderful in the
increased business of this popular estab-
lishment, however, for the prices are ex-
tremely low, competing with Columbia,
Charleston and Augusta.
