Bolton has one of the most elaborately
adorned public wells of any town in theup-
country. 1t was built under contract with
specifications, and cost $4,000. 1t forms
quite an addition to the appearance of the
town.
An interesting protracted meeting is pro-
crossing at First Creek Baptist Church, un-
der the ministration of Rev. w. E. Walters.
Large congregations attend the services, and
much good Is expected to be accomplished
during the meeting.
We would call attention to the advertise
nssnt OF the Southern Home School, which
sppeas elsewhere. This institution now
has over fifty scholars, and is presided over
by four accomplished ladies of extensive
literary attainments.
The Anderson Junior Base Ball Club
have challenged the Bolton Club for
match game. The challenge has not been
accepted yet, but it may be in time to ac-
commodate the Juniors to one more defeat
before the season closes.
Mrs. Martha Cox, the mother of Msj. G.
w. Cox, Of Bolton, was stricken with paral-
ysis last week, and for 3 time her life was
despaired OF. Although she is very old
lady she has revived, and now we are glad
to learn that it is expected she will recover.
Threatening to whip editors may be
pleasant pass.time, and may invest those
who indulge it with the qualities of heroes
in their own estimation, but as a general
thing It frightens very few persons. Men
who have any idea of thrashing an editor
do not talk it about the street corners.
We are requested to announce that the
annual Fair will come off in Anderson this
wear on the oath, .25th and 26th of October
next and that the premium list of last year
will be offered again this year. Parties who
have not a list can obtain one by calling on
Mr.. B. F. Crayton, the President of the AS
sociation.
Last week we stated that the two white
men who were boasting about their votes
defeating the Democratic nominee for In
tendant contributed no more towards that
result than Sam. Green or Lawrence Walker.
Lawrence insists that we have slandered
him. as he did not vote at all in the election.
We deem this correction due him, and there
fore make it in this way.
Mr.. J. L. Tribble, the Clerk of the old
Council, was the most successful in collect
ing taxes of any Clerk the town has had.
Only six persons failed to pay, and e1ecu-
tions were issued against them. He collec-
ted and paid out during the year S2,276.42.
This is good record to show his capacity
and efficiency as an officer.
Mrs. e. E. Ledbetter sent US on last Mon
day large Spanish sweet potato weighing
four pounds. It is the finest one we have
seen this year, and we do not believe it can
be equalled in Anderson County. Most
persons think themselves fortunate to have
potatoes large enough to eat during the
month of August, without raising such
mammoth ones as to weigh four pounds.
We regret to learn that Mr.. D. A. zeigler,
our efficient and regular local correspon-
dent at Sandy Springs, is seriously i'll with
typhoid fever. We hope he will speedily
recover, and be able to attend to his school
duties again. Mr. Zeigler has been doing
good work in the cause of education, and
we would regret to see his sevices Withdrawn
on any account for any length Of time.
The Right Rev. w. B. w. Howe, Bishop
of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina
made his annual visitation to st. Pauls
Church at Pendleton, and Grace Church at
this place, during the past week. We learn
that six persons were confirmed In st. Pauls
Church and two in Grace Church. The
Bishop is very able and eloquent man,
and his visits are always enjoyed, not only
by his flocks throughout the State, but by
the communities in which they are located.
Messrs. Ludden & Bates, of Savannah,
Ga, the great wholesale piano and organ
dealers of the South. have Withdrawn all
local agencies for the sale of their instru-
ments, and will hereafter supply purchasers
direct, without the aid or Intervention OF
agents, at strictly factory prices. There are
no more reliable men in the music trade
than Ludden & Bates. Read their adver-
tisement, and send for catalogues, etc.
The pic mic at New Prospect on last Friday
was very successful and pleasant affair.
Grand Scribe L. P. Smith was present, ana
made an interesting and able temperance
speech, encouraging the Division at that
place, and urging it to renewed energy in
the temperance cause An abundant pic
mic dinner was provided, and the day passed
off with excellent order, all present enjoy
ING the occasion to the fullest extent.
The firm of Miss Lizzie Williams & Co.,
rs will be seen from an advertisement else
where, has been dissolved. The business
will, however, be continued by Miss Will
liams, whose experience and past success
are sufficient guarantee that the Ladies
store will continue to be a favorite place of
resort for the ladies of Anderson and vlcln-
ity whenever they wish to oprocure anything
