Mrs. Margaret Attoway, wife of the Rev.
John Attoway of the South Carolina Metho-
dist Conference, died in Williamson on
Monday, the oath of April last.
Strawberries have made their appearance
in Anderson, and though rare at this time
promise to be very abundant, notwithstand-
ing the cold weather which has destroyed so
much other fruit. .s ,,a
The New York Herald says "the newspa-
pers In the South are having hard time.
Some of them are models of provincial
journalism; but the people are poor and are
spending most of their money for other
fertilizers"
We would call attention to the advertise
mont of Messrs. ]. B. MCGEE & Co., which
appears elsewhere. They are engaged in
general auction and commission business,
and will give prompt attention to the wants
of oil their customers.
Trial Justice S. S. Jones, actingas Coroner,
held an inquest on last Wednesday over the
body of white infant, which was found in
Six-and-Twenty Creek. The jury rendered
a verdict that it was drowned by some per-
SON or persons to them unknown.
We concur with the Richmond Wing
when it says: We object to railroad men
CHASING editors as 'dead-heads" on their
railroads, unless they admit that they-them-
selves are dead-head advertisers. The press
fully repay all the courtesies it receives or
accepts in that line.
Mr.. Theodore C. Caskin, of Memphis,
Tenn, arrived in town on Monday morning
"a newly married man. The bride was
Miss Pickett, who refugeed to Anderson
during the war, and made many friends in
our community. They are the guests of
Mr.. Samuel NJ. Crayton for few days.
We had the pleasure of meeting Mr.. H.
Bascom Browne, of the Spartanburg Herald,
in Anderson on last Tuesday. Mr.. Browne
had been to Greenville in attendance upon
the Grand Lodge of Good Templars, and
came to Anderson for the purpose of spend
ing few days with relatives and friends in
this County.
The Episcopal Diocesan Convention meets
in Columbia cl the 10th of May. We learn
that delegates to this Convention, who have
not already been provided for, will be
accommodated at the Wheeler House or
Columbia Hotel during their stay in the
Convention at 50 so per day. A full attend
ance is expected to be present.
The most accommodating man we have
yet heard of, is young gentleman who
went from this place TO attend the Grand
Division, and after its session went from
Orangeburg to Branchville simply to deliver
n bundle. He says it affords him much
pleasure to be of service to his friends upon
such an errand. He would make good
candidate-for matrimony.
One of the most sensible men we have
heard of in some time lives in Maryville,
Tenn. He is the editor of the Republican,
and exhibits his sagacity in the annexed
sentence: "We are now receiving in ex-
change the Anderson Is. C.) Intelligenccr,
published by Hoyt e. Co., at 50 per year.
It is an eight column paper, and is the best
weekly paper received at this Office
We would direct the attention of persons
wishing to purchase steam engine during
the coming season to the advertisement of
Mr.. Richard Tozer, which appears in an
other column. Messrs. n. X. Sullivan d.
Co. are the agents at this place. Call and
examine this engine, as it is manufactured
at Columbia, so that by purchasing it you
will be aiding an enterprise in your own
State.
Men may disagree about forms of govern
ment, or the fine arts, or the relative merits
of poets and painters; and whether they
are right or wrong, may be perfectly sincere
and well-meaning in their opinions, but
whoever denies that the styles and prices of
the New York Cash Store are not to be ex-
cclled in this market must be given over as
incurably infected with prejudice and per-
verseness. Ask Arncstein Il Rose if this
isn't true.
The friends of Rev. P. F. Stevens who
knew of his failing eyesight will be glad to
hear that successful operation has restored
# The operation was performedin Charles
ton by DIR. Frank Parker, whose careful and
successful surgery is making quite name
for him. Nor is DR.. Parker's skill confined
to the eye, but he is successful in all the
branches of surgery. We commend him to
tho suffering public who need cautious and
