Mr. Simpson, of this County, has intro
duced bill in. the House Of Representatives
to alter and amend the present act relative
to Trial Justices of Anderson County. We
have not seen the text Of the bin, but pre-
sumo it is an Improvement upon the present
system. J
Rev. w. 81. Strickland, by request, re-
peated his lecture to young men on last
Monday night in Temperance Hall. There
was good attendance present, and the lee
ture gave the same pleasure to its hearers
which it afforded on its delivery the week
previous.
Mr.. Orr has introduced bill in the House
to admit Mr. J. e. Allen, of this County, to
the practice Of Law. Mr. Allen is minor,
but has read law in the Office of Maj. John
B. Moore, and IS an excellent young gentle
man. We wish him much success in the
profession of the Law.
We would call attention to the card Of
DR.. E. g. Murrah, who again offers his pro-
fessional services to the people of Anderson
County. Dr.. Murrah is acquainted with
many of our citizens, and has done pcofes-
sional work for numbers of them who have
been much pleased with it.
The Iadiesgf the Episcopal Sewing Soci-
ETY. requests to announce that they will

Hall on next Monday evening, for the ben
eft of their Church. Strawberries, cakes
and other refreshments will be prepared,
and the ladies and gentlemen of the town
are requested to give the occasion their pat
ronage. Admission is free.
We would ask the attention of our readers

which appears elsewhere. Dr.. GurleyS .
gentleman of fine attainments in his profess
sion, and has wrought some very remarka-
BILE cures for persons in this County whose
ewes and ears have been affected. All per-
sons afflicted with any of the diseases alluded
to in his card, would do well to consult him
when he comes to Anderson.
We are requested by the Hall COMMITTEES
to call the attention of visitors to the Young
Mems Christian Association to the fact that
number of spittoons have been provided
to accommodate gentlemen chewing tobac-
co and splitting. They are respectfully invi-
ted to use them, as by complying with this
hint the walls, carpeting and furniture will
be greatly saved. It is reasonable request,
and we are confident that all persons will in
future conform to it.
The ladies of the Baptist Sewing Society
request us to announce that on next Thurs
day night, the 10th inst, they win have
strawberry festival at the University. All
persons who attend the May party on that
night are invited to bring their purses with
them, and partake of the feast of strawber-

Mesrrs. Gaines and MeGarly, merchants
ofTownville, were arrested on last Tuesday
by the United States revenue detectives, for
having in their possession boxes of tobacco
upon which, the stamps were Improperly
stamped. These; gentlemen are country
merchants, and bought their tobacco from q
reliable merchant, thinking it all right.
These proceedings are great nuisance to
honest men, and do not as a general thing
Inconvenience rascals, for these sneaking de-
tectives are too cowardly to interfere with
any other than honest men; or perhaps the
difficulty comes from the fact that they are
rascals themselves, and do net care to report
other rascals, because fellow-felling makes
them wondrous kind.
Senator Cochran has introduced bill in
the Senate to reduce the per diem Of jurors
from $1.5O to s10o and mileage. We have
never thought the pay for jurors too high.
If a farmer is taken from his crops for one
or two weeks he will lose more than he can
make by serving upon jury. Moreover,
when gentlemen come from the extremes OF
the County they cannot board themselves
and their horses upon the present allowance.
It would work hardship upon this class to
reduce the pay. There are other needed re-
forms which take precedence over this, and
we are glad to ses that Senator Cochran is
looking after some Of them. We hope,
however, that his measure to reduce the pay
of Jurors will not become law.
kiss and Forget, Love-" is the title of q
beautiful new song and chorus by the popu-
lar composer, Charles D. Blake, which ap-
pears in the Southern Musical Journal for
April, and, if our musical friends only
but knew what gem it is they would have
it, cost what it might. In the same number
is also the famous American Rife Team
Victory March," by G. 0perti; fine an
them, "Plead Thou my Cause" by L. o.
Emerson, and three pleasing hymn tunes,
suitable for church or home use. Every
month brings, in this magazine, an equally
choice supply of music, at the triaing cost
