Our readers who go to Greenyille to trade
will find it to their interest TO pay the live
store of Sloan, Lee & Taylor acall. They
will pay the highest prices for cotton, and
sell goods as cheap as any other house in
Greenville. -.
The citizens Of Anderson are respectfully
invited to read the advertisement of Mr..
Richard Tozer, which appears elsewhere.
Mr.. Fozer is.the manufacturer of the best,
cheapest and most popular portable steam
engine now in use for farm, threshing, or
ginning purposes.
We are requested to announce that a pro-
tracted meeting viii be begun in the Bolton
Methodist Church on Saturday, the 18th
inst, by Revs. w. A. Hodges, G. v. Barnes
and H. F. Chrietzberg. It Is hoped the
congregations will be large, and that good
will result from the meeting. &
Anderson Is again becoming a live trading
point, and our streets are filed with wagons
loaded with cotton, which is sold at the
highest market prices, and loads of goods
purchased at the lowest figures are carried
home in return. Our people are fast learn
ing that they can do as well here as e.se-
where.
On Tuesday last Mr.. John Erwin, with
jerry Squier, Yancy Halland George Clink-
scales, oolored, picked fifteen hundred and
twenty three pounds Of cotton on the farm
of Mr.. John L: Nance, in this County.
This was good days work, in which each
hand averaged over three hundred pounds
an one day. tid
One day last week DR.. W. 81. Nardin per-
formed the operation of ithotomy upon a
colored man named Reese Thompson, who
lives some five miles south Of this place,
and extracted stone deposit which weighed
eight ounces. nleft alone it would shortly
have killed him, but we learn the patient is
doing well, and will probably soon recover.
We would invite attention to the adyer-
tisemcnt of the Copgaree Iron Works,
which appears elsewhere. These works,
under the efficient proprietorship Of Hon.
John Alexander, have become universally
popular for their thorough work and their
very low prices compared with those of
Northern. and Western manufactures.
Messrs. Sullivan d Co. are agents for this
place.
FOR all kinds of plain1or fancy job work

more colors as expeditiously, as cheaply and

Messrs. Sloan & Co., the active member

smokers to give them trial. They will
certainly please you in price and quality.
Mr.. John A. Emerson brought us on
Tuesday some most delicious winter apples,
grown upon his plantation in this County.
The late season has proved that Anderson
County is well adapted to peach culture,
and these apples show that it is equally well
adapted to the growth of this fruit. 1t is
certainly mistake to suppose that we can
not raise winter apples this low down. and
we hope Mr.. Emerson will have specimens
on exhibition at the approaching Fair to
show the people ofour County what can be
done with this fruit.
We have received from Messrs. Hoyt.
Emlyn & Mcdaniel, of the Columbia Regis
ter, the premium list of the State Fair,
which is to be held in Columbia, beginning
on Tuesday, the 18th of November, and
continuing to Friday, the 10th. The pre-
rniums offered are handsome, and will GER
tainly be paid this year. Excursion rates
will be issued over the various railroads,
and very large attendance is expected
from all portions of the State. The pre-
MUM list is gotten up in very handsome
manner. and reflects credit upon the Register
Office.
Persons desiring to obtain the opinion Of
committee as to the comparative merits OF
their babies, can have an opportunity OF
doing so at the coming County Fair, and il
each ones opinion that he has the finest
baby in the world proves correct, his judg-
ment will be rewarded by the presentation
of Al handsome baby carriage. This show
will doubtless be very interesting until the
award is made, after which all of the e1-
b;h;fors ercont two fathers and mothers
