Col. A. N. speights, the chief engineer Of
the Greenville Daily Nes-', was in our town
on last Monday and Tuesday. He is very
handsome youth, and is exceedingly we'll
preserved for q man of his years. We were
right glad to see him, and 80 were his legion
of friends in Anderson. He cautioned US
against mentioning his name in the papers.
and we are not apt TO neglect the request.
The columns of the Greenville Daily Ne,us
may never tell the adventures of its honored
chief in Anderson, and we merely suggest

proved methods of farming in Anderson.
Speights will retire from the newspaper
business whenever he makes money enough
to buy farm.
