dent desires full attendance.
The Savannah Township Democratic Club

The reports from the wheat crop are very
discouraging from various sections of the
County. The heads are not filling and the
grains are faulty.
Foster Blodgett passed down the railroad
on Saturday last returning to his home in
Newberry, after experiencing sensational
reception in Georgia.
The officers of the Anderson Farmers and
Mechanics Association will meet on Satur-

Have you seen the new Centennial
stamped envelopes? They are very pretty
and unique, and we trust the P. NJ. at this
place will order supply.
The State Executive Committee of the
Democratic party met in Columbia last
night. Maj. John B. Moore went down yes
terday morning to attend the meeting.

The candidates are beginning to take a
wonderful interest in every assemblage of
the dear people, and on saleday they were
abundant as full crop of blackberries
The Greenville and Columbia Railroad
Company are issuing Centennial tickets to
Philadelphia and return for $36. These
tickets are on sale at the Anderson depot.
The Pomona Grange held a lengthy ses-
sion on last Monday, discussing matters
pertaining to business of, the order. The
meeting was largely attended, and was in
session four or five hours.
Capt w. s. Sharpe has some of the tallest
orchard grass growing upon his lots we have
ever seen. He is giving much attention to
the grasses, and is devoting considerable
time to farming these days.
There were not many persons from the
country on last Monday, and altogether it
was a dull saleday. The sale of delinquent
lands occupied only short time, most of
the tracts advertised being postponed tn
future days.
Rev. A. w. Lamar will re-enter upon his
appointments in the Saluda Baptist Asso-
ciation on next Sabbath, beginning at
Turkey Greek Church in Abbeville County.
The change is made from Walnut Grove at
the instance of members in that vicinity.
Centennial tickets to Philadelphia and
return are on sale at Seneca City and Green
vile, cia Lynchburg or Richmond. The
trains on the Air Line Railroad now run
through to Richmond, which will prevent
change of cars at Charlotte, as heretofore.
Messrs. j. L. FAINT and Newton Scott an
nounce to their friends and the public that
they have resumed business, and are now
prepared to meet the wants of their Gus
TONERS. They are industrious and deserv-
ing citizens, and merit liberal share of pat
ronage.
One of Tozer's engines attracted much at
tention on last Monday, and kept the crowd
together for some time. It was put under
full head of steam, and Mr.. Tozer was pres
ent to explain its good qualities to the ad-
miring spectators. We learn this engine has
been purchased by Mr.. S. C. Humphreys.
The colored people had q Sunday School
celebration on Saturday last, in the suburbs
of town. The Baptist and Methodist con-
gregations united in the celebration, and the
day was spent in appropriate exercises.
Messrs. G. F. Tolly, L. P. Smith and A. P.
Hubbard accepted invitations and addressed
the Sunday Schools.
The following citizens of Anderson Coun-
ty have been drawn to serve as grand and
petit jurors for the August term of the Uni
ted States District Court at Greenville:
Messrs. J. Reese FAINT, Thomas Crymes and
William McFall as grand jurors; Messrs.
B. f. Crayton, Ira G. Williams and N. K.
Sullivan as petit jurors.
We would suggest to some active and en-
terprising young man that money might be
made by getting up an excursion train to
Charleston, on the occasion of the Fort
Moultrie Centennial on the 2Sth inst. Many
of our citizens would like to visit Charles
ton at that time, provided excursion tickets
were offered at reduced rate.
The heaviest rain of the season occurred
in the Fork country on last Saturday, and
we regret to learn that much damage was
inflicted upon the growing crops. The lands
were badly washed, fencing carried away,
and the small grain crop considerably in
iured. Unusually hard rains visited that
section on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Mr.. J. Baylis Lewis has been appointed
local agent for the sale of Centennial tickets
by the Atlantic Coast Line and can give
choice of thirteen different routes to and
from Philadelphia. Ifyou are going to the
Centennial this time, consult Mr.. Lewis
before deciding upon the route. He has
extra inducements to offer clubs of ten or
more persons.
Everything nowadays partakes of the
Centennial, but some Of our subscribers
may be properly termed bi-Centennialists,
as we don't believe they will display their
patriotism and generosity towards US within
the next two hundred years! From present
appearances, they are willing for US to suffer
the pangs of depleted pocket-book the
balance of this century, at least.
