The business of the town of Anderson
has been larger during the month of Octo-
Der than that of any month for the past
three or four years. Reason-.because it is
one of the best cotton markets in South
Carolina, and goods are sold here as cheap
as they can be bought at any neighboring
town for the cash.

We return thanks to Mr.. T. P. Quarles,
Secretary of the Abbeyille Fair Association

great extent since its political regeneration,
and shows it on every occasion. 1t will not
be behind on: this.
The exhibition in Calisthenics at the Ma
sonic Hall on last Friday. evening was
yery great success The address of Major
B. F. Whitner upon the advantages of this
system of education was terse elegant and
interesting, and. the performance evinced
much training and cystem in the pupils,
rejecting high credit .pon their teacher
Miss Wade, of the Sont lern Home School.
The attendance was large, and the enter
tainment in every way decided success.
Sol Smith RUSSELL the great musical actor
whose facial grimaces some OF our people
remember in connection with the Swiss
Bell Ringers, will afford the people of An
derson rare treat in the Masonic Hall on
Friday evening. He brings with him an
array of musical talent which is seldom met
with in travelling companies, and will more
than repay the attendance of all who love
a chaste and elegant performance. See the
advertisement elsewhere.
The merchants of Anderson should dis
cuss the propriety of chartering ferry
across the Savannah river to induce the
trade of neighboring counties in Georgia to
come here in greater quantities. 1t might
be made free for persons who trade at this
point and not elsewhere by issuing cnrtifi.
Gates to every Georgian who sells bale OF
cotton and buys bill of goods in Anderson.
BY charging all others the ferry would pay
expenses and be the source of gain to our
town, as we'll as benefit to portions OF
Georgia.
The entertainments given in the Masonic
Hall on last Wednesday and Ihursuay
evenings for the benefit of the Episcopal

rendered by an amateur club of ladies and
gentlemen to highly delighted audience.
These entertainments were very amusing,
and were well attended. We learn that
about eighty dollars was realized from
them.
