BRIEF MENTION.

bhlEE MENI1UN.
We received a very fine one year old beet
from Mr.. ]. G. Cartee on last Friday. 1t
was nearly round, and weighed 1s3 pounds.
Mr.. E. W. Byrum sent to our Office last
week an Irish potato weighing % ounces.
1t was an unusually large potato, and heads
the list for weight in this County so far as
we have heard.
Orion Lodge, I. O. G. T., will have pic
mic at Mt. Bethel Church on the LIST Saturday
in August, and DR.. w. G. Browne, Mr.. G..
F. Tolly and DR.. G. V. Barnes are expected

a glimpse at the Centennial, Niagara Falls,
and many prominent cities.

shot in the leg with buck shot in difficulty
with white man named John Wilson, at
Donnaldsville, on last Tuesday. Wilson
has not been arrested.
We regret to announce the DEATH of little
son of Mr.. John H. Hembree, which oc-
CURED on the 18th inst, after brief illness.
The funeral services were performed BY Rev.
D. L. Whitaker, and the remains inferred

We are requested to announce that Mr..
w. w. Russell will install the officers of
Meals Creek Grange on Friday tomorrow
morning, at 10 o'clock. The members Of
the Grange are requested to be present.
There will be Grange dinner, and very
pleasant day may be expected.
A train is now running from Walhalla to
Sandy Springs, and in few days it is ex-
pected that the break, between Anderson
and Pendleton will be repaired, when the
regular trains will be resumed, making the
connection at the Broadway trestle. A
large amount of timber has bsen taken to
Broadway, and we learn that the rebuild
ing of the trestle will be pushed forward
vigorously.
We are pained TO record the death of Mr..
W. L. .Cornog, an esteemed citizen of Hart
County, Ca, which occurred on the 26th
ult., in the 34th year of his age. He was a
warm-hearted, genial gentleman. and greatly
respected wherever be was known. He was
an active, influential citizen of our neigh
boring State, and was much endeared to
numerous friends and acquaintance in
South Carolina.
We regret to learn that our friend, Mr..
D. a. Glenn, who resides in the neighbor-
hood of Fair Play, met with terrible acci-
dent last week in running thresher, by
which one of his arms was caught in the
machinery, and so terribly lacerated that
amputation above the elbow was necessary.
DR.. ]. B. Browne performed the operation,
and at last accounts Mr.. Glenn was doing
as well as could be expected.
We are indebted to Mr.. John H. Clarke,
Secretary of the Anderson Bee Company,
for q nice specimen of honey, taken from
one of his patent hives. These hives are
great improvement upon the old style, the
honey being extracted without breaking the
comb, and with little trouble. Mr.. Clarke
took twenty-four pounds from oneohive.
Mr.. Clarke will take pleasure in showing
the advantages of this hive over the old
plan. Give him a call.
Little Baylis, oldest child of Mr.. D. s.
Maxwell, Of this place, came near being
killed one day last week by an infuriated
COW. He was at Mr.. B. F. Crayton's on
visit, and in attempting to pass through the
lot was pursued by the cow, which caught
him at the fence and tossed him over her
head, and turning upon him began hooking
at him while on the ground. But for the
timely interference of Mr.. s. NJ. Crayton he
would certainly have been killed in short
time. He was fortunate to escape without
serious injury.
