A heavy storm of wind and rain visited
the Southern portion of the County on Mon
day last, and we are informed that great
damage was inflicted upon the growing
crops. We are without any definite and re-
liable information, and trust the reports are
exaggerated.
Mr.. Newton Bryson, of Centreville Town

Mr.. A. Summer Todd has associated him

Usher and editor sf the Anderson Journal,

We notice that the street hands are pre-
pairing to make drains on the sides Of the
hill at Whitner's Greek. This will bea good
piece of work, and will in great measure
stop the washing away of the street. A lit
tie work might also be advantageously put
on the hill of Main street at the Carolina
Collegiate Institute.
Reform is the watchword of the hour, and
seems to permeate every phase of life. N. Z.
Sullivan & Co. are inaugurating practical
reform in our midst, and will seek to impress

politics. Further particulars may be OBJ
tanned by perusing their advertisement in

Refreshing showers have passed over most
portions of our County within the past week,
and have been ofinvaluable service in some
sections, particularly in the lower part of
this County where the crops were fast be-
coming parched by the long continued
drought. Agreat deal of the upland; corn
is now safe for fine yield, and the prospect
for good crops generally is encouraging to
our farmers.

The Anderson Sun has re-appeared under
the conduct of Messrs. r! Edmund Belcher
and John BE- McGiil. 1T presents neat
typographical appearance, and is, taking
position in the Democratic ranks. We wish
these propristors all the success they desire
in their new eopartnership. There are now
three weekly papers in Anderson, a fact
which speaks well for the business pros

We learn that there are number of cases
of bilious remittent fever along and near
the junction of thestreams Three and Twen-
ty and Six and Twenty. None of the cases,
however, SO far as we know, have proved
fatal up to this time. 1t is probable this
sickness results from the very high water in
these streams during the freshet last June,
whereby much bottom land was overhowed,
and decayed vegetable matter was washed
upon it, and left to produce miasma.
