corn measuring fifteen feet long, which pro-
duced two ears of corn twelve inches long.

The Circuit Court for Anderson County
adjourned last Friday, and special term
was ordered to begin on next Tuesday, but
Judge Northrop's appointment as District
Attorney renders it doubtful whether we
have any Judge.
Mr.. David Geer, ore of the Oldest and
most highly respected citizens of Anderson
County, has been i'll from paralysis for the
past two weeks at the residence of his son,
Mr.. Solomon Geer. We regret to learn that
his condition is not improving.
We regret to announce the death of Mrs.
Martha J. Richardson which occurred at
the residence of her husband, Mr.. Matthias
Richardson, near Slabtown, on the LIST of
September last. She leaves many relatives
and friends who mourn her death.
Read the advertisements in the INrELLI-
GEScER this week and you will be convinced
that Anderson is the place to buy your sup
plies. The freights to this point have been
reduced, and our merchants are selling all
classes of goods at the lowest figures.
Oscar, eldest son of Maj. John B. Moore,
met with painful accident while visiting
Mr.. Frank Sitton in Oconee County last
week. He got his hand caught in cotton
gin and had his front finger cut off. His
injuries are, however, not serious, and he
may be considered fortunate in escaping
even with the loss of finger.
Cotton has been opening rapidly for the
past two weeks, and the best estimates count
about third off from an average crop for
Anderson County this year, and yet the
price is very low. AS our people seem fond
of working for other persons, we predict
that they will plant as much cotton again
next year as ever.
Do not forget the railroad mass meeting
which is to be held at Milford's Store on
next Saturday, beginning at 10 o'clock q. m.,
in the interest of the Anderson & Augusta
Railroad. Every one-ladies and gentlemen
should endeavor to be present to manifest
their interest in the important enterprise
which calls the meeting together.
The soldiers of Hart County, Ca. had
largely attended and pleasant reunion at
Hartwell on last Tuesday, at which num-
ber of speeches were made by invited ora
tors. The Anderson Cornet Band was in
attendance, and discoursed its best music to
enthuse the military feeling in all who were
present. The day passed off pleasantly, and
our boys returned highly delighted with
their trip and the manner in which they
had been entertained.
We regret to announce the death of Mr..
James r. brennan, which occurred in this
place on last Tuesday morning after long
and painful illness. Mr.. brennan was a
young man of amiable disposition, and
made many friends wherever he was
known. During his illness he received all
that medical skill and tender attention
could do to arrest the hand Of the destroyer,
but to no avail. He leaves large circle OF
relatives and friends who regret his death.
Our Honea Path correspondent announces
the death of Capt. S. NJ. Tribble, which oc-
Cured on last Friday, after an illness of
little more than one week from an attack OF
paralysis, of which mention was made in
our last issue. Capt. Tribble was gentle
man of the highest character, and was much
esteemed and beloved by his neighbors and
acquaintance. The death of such man is
loss to any community. He leaves wife
and several children to mourn loss IN
which they have the sincerest sympathy of
the entire community.
We understand that company of well
trained young ladies and gentlemen, ama-
teurs, of this place, have in course of prepa-
ration some very fine standard plays, with
which they propose to enliven our commu-
nifty during the approaching Fair, begin
ming October oath. AS their object is a
most worthy one, (building Rectory for
the Episcopal Church, they should receive
the liberal patronage of the people. Fur
ther particulars will be given hereafter.
We would remind our people that the
Anderson Farmers and Mechanics Fair
will be held at this place on the oath, 25th
and 26th of this month. We trust very
general interest in its success will be mani
tested. and that every person who can will
bring something in the way of stock, field
crops, manufactures, household and fancy
articles to exhibit. 1t is County Fair, and
by the display made at it by our citizens,
the value and prosperity of Anderson Coun-
ty will in large measure be judged OF by
persons who may be visiting Us at that time.
