The time for the collection of the first in
stalment of taxes has been extended in this
County to the 18th day Of August inst. All
persons who have not paid the first half of
last years tax will be allowed until that
time to pay without any additional per
cent. being added. Mfr. Samuel E. Moore,
the efficient Treasurer, has been kept quite
busy for the past few days, and up to
Wednesday, the 1st of August, 977 tax
payers had paid in $11, ,550.7S.
The committee of Arrangements for the
coming Fair on the 9th inst, request US to
announce that all persons will be admitted
free of charge, but that charge of ten
cents will be made for entry on horseback,
and twenty-five cents for every vehicle.
Parties attending the Fair will please note
this announcement, and either hitch their
horses and vehicles outside, or come pre-
pared to pay the above charges for taking
them into the grounds.
Mr.. Fl. Lawrence Smith, who escaped
from Jail here few weeks ago, came up on
last Tuesday and delivered himself to Sheriff
Mcconnell to serve out the balance of his
term. He seemed in good spirits, and says
that he only wanted to spend while with
his mother, and he now wants to finish out
his sentence to be q free man once more.
This is the last of the prisoners who escaped,
and hence the only result of the Jail delivery
has been to have the building thoroughly
repaired, so as to prevent any recurrence of
the escape in future.
MIR. 81. B. FAINT. the Agent of the Southern
Express Company at this place, informs US
that this Company has reduced the rate of
charges for shipping fruits from here to
Columbia and Charleston. All persons
wishing to ship fruit to either of these
markets would do well to call for further
particulars as to- the manner of packing,
price, &C., upon Mr.. H. B. FAINT, the cour-
teous agent at the Greenville & Columbia
Railroad depot. This action Of the Compa-
nv is considerate, and is intended to encour-
age the production of fruits in this section.
We hope it will result in assisting to accom-
plish the intended end.
The finest peaches we have seen this sea-
son were brought us by Mr.. A. A. Dean on
last Tuesday. They were of the largest and
most luscious variety of the Chinese Cling,
and Mr.. Dean will please accept our thanks
for the liberal supply, which was q rare
treat. From the specimens we have seen
this summer we are confident that Ander-
son County is capable of becoming one of
the most prosperous fruit-growing sections
in the world, and we are highly gratified to
know that its resources in this respect are
being utilized. Every farmer should en-
deayor to cultivate his orchard, and if men
would engage in it upon large enough
scale to ship fruits to the cities, much
money could be made from it. Any man
who can raise such peaches as MIR. Deans
can always find ready sale for them in
market.
Capt. S. NJ. Pegg, who has been over vari-
Gus portions of Anderson County in the
interest of his new County map, furnishes
us with the following information relative
to the temperature of water in Anderson
County: Mr.. William Shearer, in Sayan-
nah township, has the well of coolest water
in the County, having temperature of 563
degrees, Farenheit, and Messrs. J. F. Wilson
and r. S. Hill have the next coolest wells,
each registering 81 degrees. Mr.. J. Willest
Provost has the spring of coolest water in
the County, which is 593 degrees. The
Williamson Mineral Spring has tempera-
ture of 60 degrees, and Keys Spring of GOT
degrees. Other wells and springs have very
nearly the same temperature, and the water
of Anderson County is equal to any in the
State and we do not believe it would be
much of an exaggeration to say that it is
equal to any in the world.
We would call attention of the afflicted to
the advertisement of the Atlanta Surgical
Institute, which appears in another column,
announcing that DR.. J. w. Gnrley, the sur
geon in charge, will visit Anderson on the
ninth of August, and remain here for one
week. We take pleasure in recommending
DR.. Gurley as an experienced and scientific
practitioner of the departments of medicine
and surgery of which he makes specially;
He is also one of the finest dentists in the
South. All persons who wish dental work,
or who NAV need attention for any of the
Affections mentioned in the advertisement,
should avail themselves of this visit of DR..
Gurley to procure his professional services.
He is q thoroughly reliable gentleman, and
his patients may rely upon receiving the
most skilful and honorable attention. He
will be in Anderson from the 9th to the 18th
inst and patients should visit him as soon
as possible.
