and to feed a morbid Imagination. To get
up good library will take time as well as
money. But everything must have start
ing point, and then grow to Its maturity.
We do not expect to accomplish this thing
in year any more than We expect to soc
the dry-looking acorn sprout the majestic
oak in night. But we can SOW the seeds
now for good work, and every one who
claims to have benevolence in his nature
may become public benefactor to posterity
by casting in his mite. Little by little we
imperceptibly grow up to manhood; words
added to words make sentences; thoughts
piled on thoughts make books; books added
to books make up the largest Libraries in the
world. There is scarcely one person in the
whole community but what can contribute
something towards furthering this laudable
enterprise. A mite, book, a kind word of
encouragement, will lay the foundation,
not of mental fabric of vain airy vision,
but for a noble structure which will last
when each of us shall have passed from this
stage of earthly action, and for which COM
ing generations will bless US in their search
for useful knowledge. If the citizens will
assist us we will doubtless make arrange
ments for some literary feasts to which all
shall have special invitation. We appeal
specially to the ladies to help us in this good
work. Shall our plea be in vain?

READING CLUB.

We are glad to notethe fact that reading
club has been formed in Anderson. Its first
meeting was held on Wednesday evening,
the 10Th inst, at the residence of Capt. ]. A.
Hoyt, and temporary organization effected
by electing Prof. w. J. Ligon President and
Mr.. A. J. Watt Secretary. A committee
consisting of Messrs. Louis Sharpe, W. 81.
Frierson and w. w. Keys and Misses
Vashti Burress and Jefie Edwards was ap-
pointed to draft constitution and bylaws.
Messrs. A. S. Todd and G. F. Jones and
Misses Ida Brown and Rosa Webb were
appointed readers, and Misses Mary Will
hite, Jefie Edwards, Anna Bewley and
Mary Towers were appointed to perform
upon the piano at the next meeting, which
was held at the residence Of Mr.. Daniel
Brown on last Tuesday evening. The Club
will meet on next Tuesday evening at the
residence of Rev. J. s. Murray. Messrs.
Louis Sharpe and Leonidas MCGEE and
Misses jamie Frierson and Lula Watson
were appointed readers, and Mrs. Van
Wyck and Mrs Belcher and Misses Gussie
Brown and Rosa Webb were appointed to
furnish music at this meeting. A perma-
nent organization is expected to be perfected
at this meeting. This is q club which has
long been needed in Anderson, and we hope
it will become popular and do much towards
cultivating and improving the literary at
tainments OF its members.

The Charades at Pendleton.

MEssRs. EDITORS: The Pendleton Cornet
Band gave the second of series of enter
tainments at their Hall in Pendleton on
Tuesday night the 18th inst.
These entertainments consist of music on
the Band, Plays and Charades. I feel no
little hesitation in attempting to describe
either the playing or the acting, for any de-
seription to do these young people justice
would appear partial and exaggerated to
those who have not witnessed their perform
ance indeed any one would be surprised to
see how well this company of amatuers per-
form. feel, however, I can safely say that
the music was fine and the acting excellent,
and together afforded fund of amusement
and pleasure well worth the time and money
spent in attending. One old gentleman
over seventy-ive years old, and who had
ridden in from the country four miles, re-
marked in the presence of the writer that he
was well paid for his trouble. We would
advise all who enjoy the pleasurable excite
ment of the finer sensibilities, or who de-
light in real good, hearty laugh, to attend
one of these entertainments, at least, and I
am assured they will be well pleased and
amused.
There were three Charades or Plays acted.
''The Race For Widow" "Misadventure,"
and "Mishep." The actors were Messrs Joe.
and II. P. Sitton, L. L. Green, ]. A. H.
Brinsden, T. D. Bacot and NJ. NJ. Hunter.
The actresses, the Misses W., Miss H. NJ,
Miss v. E., Miss S. G. and Miss NJ. s. The
plays were all so well rendered, and the
actors each performed their parts so we'll,
it would be difficult to say which afforded
the most satisfaction, suffice it to say the
entire performance was success, if the loud
and repeated applause Of the audience testi-
fed to anything. Not the least among the
noticeable features of the entertainment was
the song "Over the Hills to the Poor House"
by MIR. Joe. Sitton. This song alone was
well worth the admission fee.
Considering the unselfish object these
young men have in view, and for what pur-
pose .he proceeds derived from their enter
tainments are expended, We would bespeak
for them the liberal support of all lovers of
innocent amusements, and would urge upon
all who can conveniently do so, to attend
their next performance, and thereby assist
them to render their worthy object COM
plete success.

The Young Mems Christian Association.

MEssIs. EDITORS: We wish to make an
appeal to the citizens of the town of Ander-
son in behalf of an enterprise which the
young men are about to set on foot, namely
the organization of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association. We know people are dis
posed to look disparagingly upon all new
undertakings, but if the name of this organ
ization is not sufficient to commend itself
without obtrusion, then truly there is moth
ing in name. But apart from the name,
the very fact that the young men-the ac-
knowledged hope of our country-are going
to enlist their energies and zeal in this
work, must enlist the sympathies of all the
good thinking citizens of the town; and
their sympaties being enlisted, will they not
give us their hearty cooperation in this
matter? A vigorous, healthy state of vir-
tue, morality and christianity in any town
or community is dependant, in great de-
gree, upon the young people. Culture, re-
finement, sociability and christian piety
make the status of every community in
which-it is encouraged. Our object shall be
to engender true christian piety among the
few who now propose this thing, with the
hope that, like the widows cruise of oil, it
will pernleate the whole; and if our hopes
are to be realized, no cold water must be
thrown at our heads. We mean by the help
of God to make the work success, and
therefore when any one is so unkind and
uncharitable as to intimate failure" on our
part, We will simply shake off the dust from
our feet, and let your own children be your
judges in after life.
In connection with our organization, we
propose to get up good library. Our books
shall be of such character as to improve
both the understanding and the heart
books that are worth reading and not trashy
stuff written for the purpose of corrupting
good morals, weakening the understanding

DEATHS.

We regret to announce the death OF Mrs.
Rebecca Clinkscales, wife of the late Maj.
Abner Clinkscales, which occurred at her
residence in this County on Saturday last,
from erysipelas of the neck. Mrs. Clink-
scales was about sixty-five years Of age at
the time of her death. Her remains were
inferred in the burying ground of Cross
Roads Church on Sunday last.
We regret to record the death of Mrs. NJ.
R. Casey, which occurred at the residence OF
her husband at Due West on Monday morn
ing last. Mrs. Casey was daughter of Mr..
T. B. Wright, of this place, and her remains
were brought to Anderson and placed to
rest in the Presbyterian Cemetery on last
Tuesday.
1t is our painful duty to announce the
death of Mr.. William NJ. Leayell which
occurred at his residence near Bolton on
last Saturday night from inflammation of the
liver, of which he had been suffering for q
long time. He had been for the last two
terms member of the Board of County
Commissioners of Anderson County, and
was esteemed for his integrity and upright
character The funeral services were con-
Quoted in the Baptist Church at Bolton on
last Monday morning, after which his re-
mains were inferred by the Sons of Temper
ance, of which he was member. The
burial service of this order was very solemn
and beautiful.

Raising a Corn Crop.

MEssRs. EDITORS: You asked in the Intel
ligencer for some of our experience in rails
ing corn that is right. If you want to get
"rit" out of countenance, just let some of us
pumpkinhead, clod-hoppers know it.
I was once asked by wag where I was
raised. I told him on farm, and great
deal of my time between two corn rows.
He replied that I was punkin, or punkin-
head, at least. I felt much honored by the
name, and left him expressing the degree Of
his victory in loud laugh.
Now for the corn. My experience in corn
raising is, that more depends upon the char
acter, condition and locality of the soil, than
does upon the cultivation after planting.
We all have seen the rudest cultivation pro-
duce very fine crop on good corn land.
The adage that the crop is half made when
the land is in order for planting, is a very
good one. The greatest secret in corn raising
depends upon this one phrase: see that the
land is in good order for raising corn crop.
Order in this sense means many things. It
means that if the land is not in naturally
good condition for planting corn, it must
first be made so; if it be a very fertile virgin
soil, all that it needs is to plough it we'll
with narrow plow, and then it is ready for
the corn seed, that is if it be dry enough.
AS we in this section of country have but
very little of the above kind of land, it will
be seen that the most important item in rails
ing corn is the preparation of the land for
planting putting it in order by ploughing
and manuring. What kind of manuring is
best for the corn crop2 Just here, the ques-
ton is, did the land ever produce good
corn crop? If it did, and is now failing, it
is evident that we must return to the soil
some of those chemical constituents that are
found in the corn stalk and grain. Here is
table:
