The bridge on Main street, south Of Judge
Reeds residence, is in dangerous and
.dilapidated condition. A citizen Of Ander'
son was riding over it last week and his
horse got leg fastened in hole, throwing
the rider, who narrowly escaped serious in
jury. The present plank bridge ought to be
succeeded by substantial rock culrert,
which will in future be both safe and sub
stantial. sif4i \
Mr.. John Kaufman, of Walhalla, has
commenced the erection of q handsome and
commodious cottage for Mrs. Mary E Sloan
upon the vacant lot in Anderson, where her
residence which was burned some three
years ago formerly stood. The house will

bine beauty of appearance with a conve-

Amember of Meals Creek Grange has in
vented a new mode of freeing his sweet
potatoes from grass after the slips have been
planted out. 1t consists simply in letting
his potato patch alone until it becomes
oyerrun with grass, and then transplanting
the slips into a clean and fresh prepared
patch. We are assured that this expert
ment has been tried three times this season
with complete success and satisfaction. We
do not know that the device is patented,
but would advise our readers as O measure
of precaution to obtain the inventors per-
mission before making the experiment.

at eleven o'clock. The public generally are

The meeting is entirely tor the considera-
ton of the stock or fence law, and it is
earnestly desired to have all friends and
opponents of the measure present at the
meeting.
