BRIEF MENTION.
Mr.. ]. G. Keys lost a fine mich cow few
days ago from choking TO death with a
peach.
The minutes of the last Saluda Baptist
Association are now ready for delivery at
this Office, and Churches entitled to receive
them can get them by sending.
The Lowndesville and Ruckersville Base
Ball Clubs played a match game near
( Lowndesville on last Saturday. We have
not heard the result, though suppose
Lowhiesville won.
The Greenyille bound train of the G. & c.
r. R. on last Saturday ran off near Ninety
Six, injuring box car and causing delay
of some two hours, which threw the train
into Anderson after eleven o'clock at night.
Capt. John McGrath has taken warrant
for three citizens of Anderson. upon the
charge of illegal voting in the late town
election. Thecharge is without foundation,
and the defendants viii certainly be ac-
quilted.
, Mr.. Samuel NJ. Crayton brought to our
office last week very large and delicious
watermelon which weighed thirty EIGHT
pounds. It was the largest we have seen
during the present year, and shows that
Mr.. Crayton is an expert in the cultivation
of watermelons.
The trade of Anderson bids fair to increase
very much this fall. Lower freight rates
and brighter business prospects have made
our merchants determined to sell as low for,
cash as any other town in South Carolina
Try our markets and see if these promises
are not carried out on all cash sales.
We noticed one day last week wagon
load of cotton from Hart County, Georgia,
which was sold in Anderson and a load of
supplies and goods carried back in its place.
The farmers of this and adjoining Counties
will, we believe, find this as cheap cash
market this Fall as any,in the State.
Miss Lizzie Williams, of the popular
Ladies Store in Anderson, has gone on to
New York, where she proposes to. lay in an
extensive stock of the most tempting goods,
which will arrive in Anderson very soon,
and then the gentlemen may prepare to,
hand over considerable portion of the con-:
tents of their pocket books.
Rev. E. R. Carswen has just closed an
interesting revival meeting at Lebanon
Church. During its continuance eighteen
members were received, one of whom was
oyersixty-six years old. On Sabbath morn
ing the congregation was very large, num-g
bering some eight hundred persons. The
exercises were quiet and orderly during the
entire meeting.
Mt. a. J.. Watt left Anderson on last
Monday morning for Charleston, for the
purpose Of buying stock of goods, which
he will open out in the store-house about
eight miles south of this place, on the road
to LowndesYiIle. Mr. Watt has been en-
gagged in the mercantile business for six or
seven years in Anderson, as clerk for several
of our most enterprising firms, and is thor
oughly informed asto the wants of the peo-
pie. We wish him much success.
The. business houses of Anderson are
nearly all represented in New York at this
time. Messrs B. F. Crayton. s. Bleckley,
A. 9B. Towers, J.. P. Reed, jr., w. F. Barr,
N. K. Sullivan, P. 4. McCully and w. s.
Ligon, representing their respective firms,
are in the Northern markets purchasing to
meet the demands of their customers. Mr..
Arnstein has also been North for some weeks
past purchasing for the New York Cash
Store: They will all return in a few days,
and then Anderson viii be alive with busi-
ness and trade.
We would call attention to the advertise
ment of the WILLIAMSON Female College,
which appears elsewhere. This institution
is under the control of Prof s. Lander, who
is so well known in South Carolina as an
accomplished teacher and polished gentle
man that it is useless for US to attempt to
add to his reputation or the reputation of
the College over which he presides. The
ladies it has graduated attest its praises
more thoroughly and more practically than
words can do.
A young gentleman, representing one of
the leading houses in Charleston, was in
Anderson last week, and undertook to pay
an evening visit to some lady friends in the
place. About eleven o'clock he withdrew,
and attempted to wind his way through the
streets of this extensive town to his hotel.
He, however, missed his way, stirred up all
the dogs in the Southern end of town, and
was finally overtaken by policeman, who
showed him back to the Wayerly House.
The gentleman in question thinks it is very
easy to get lost in as lsrge a place as Ander-
son, especially where one has been living IN
a small town like Charleston.
The committee appointed by the Demo-
cratic Club of Anderson have, under in,
structions of the Club, taken out warrants
for the whole of the persons charged with
Illegal voting in the late town election.
The persons embraced in the warrant are
Isham Harrison, Charley Calhoun, Mack
Singleton, William Gaillard, Lewis Will
liams, David Hagood and Alex. Saxton
Next Saturday, at 10 o'clock a. M, has been
fixed for the holding of the preliminary e1-
