ing toSNou. II IS the reason of the tliscours
znnd dsrot tiie epitiets that convince men.
The only fourth Of July oration had Il
Anderson, was delivered by Mr. 8. Blecl,ley
:as Is his annual custom, in the Anglo Ge,
man dialect. OF course 1t was appFopriat
to the occasion, and was highly appreciate
by his audience.
The convenience of access to the Metho
dist Church, and the appearance of the lot
has been very much improved by running
new fence so as to allow persons tc enter
and retire from the Church without opening
and shutting gates.
All the townships have sent in their petit
tions for the stock law except Brushy Greek
and Williamson. We learn that these
townships will have their petitions in soon

notice thereof published next week
We are requested to announce that the
citizens of Savannah. Township, %ho are III.

are requested to send statement Of their
memb crship, the value of the property be-
longing to the order, and the number OF

We regret to announce the death of little
Rosa May, daughter of Mr.. William ~.
Osborne, which occurred on last Sunday
morning. 4 bright child of fifteen months
she was the idol of her fathers household,
but earth was not her home, and death trans
planted the little flower to bloom forever
more in Heaven.
Messrs. Leak & Moss advertise that they
now have large and we'll selected stock of
chewing and smoking tobacco, which they
will sell Mt prices to suit the times They
have fine arrangements for securing their
stock on the most advantageous terms and
arc thereby enabled to command liberal
custom from our people.
the protracted meeting in the Baptist
Church closed on last Saturday. On Sum
day morning the usual communion service
of the church was administered, and on Sab
bath afternoon three additional converts of
the meeting were baptized i'll Rocky River
This number made sixteen in all who Joined
the church during this meeting.
Our valued correspondent from Honea
Path, Mr. William Lee. has gone to the
mountains of North Carolina with the pur-
pose or recreating for few weeks. Al
though we in common with our readers Hill
miss his interesting dots for few times, we
wish him very pleasant sojcurn, and hope
he may find cooler climate than he has
left behind him.
Yesterday. the Fourth of July, rssse; CT
without any demonstration in Anderson.
The exercises Of the Carolinn Collegiate In
stitute were suspended for the day, and the
students were gratified by having holiday.
This College is in fourishing condition,
and both patrons and students were plensed
mt its observance of the glorious fourth.
The fence law discussion which came Off
near Mountain Spring Church ON isst Sat
nrday was q very interesting affail. Quite q
number Of white and colored voters were
present, and entertaining and convincing
speeches in favor of the new Law were made
by Messrs. William and Jerreha Harper, B.
F. Crsytoa and w. ". Russell. It IS
thought the result of the meeting will be
favorable for the change.
Some of the opponents of the fence law
are endeavoring to induce influential men
not to take sides OH the fence law question
by threatening never to vote for any mnn
who favors the change. Go ahead, friends,
whenever you have bulldozed any man out
of expressing his honest views, you mny pu.
it down as q settled fact that he is not worth
8 vote for any Office.
The attention Of our readers is respectfully
asked to the advertisement of Mr. John D.
Watson. The Kentucky Mill and Chap,
mans Perpetual Evaporator is one OF tho
very hest for the manufacture of Sorghum.
The merit Of these mills is nttestod by the
published cards from Rev. Julius r. Earle
and Mr.. Peter r. Brown, both of whom are
well known to our readers as intelligent
and reliable gentlemen. Sec advertisement.
Andersen Division, No. /, Sons of Tenn
pernncc, is In Hourishing condition.
Twelve peti.icas Cor membership were re-
ccivc:i on last Thursday night from promi-
nent gentlemen of this town, and their
initiation will take place at the meeting
tonight. The other divisions of the Cca Il ty
arc also represented as in prosperous con-
dition. A little more interest on the part
Of members will still further increase the
gnGd work OF securing recruits for the tenn.
perance army.
The idea that Governor Hampton is re-
sponsible for the fence law is entirely with.
out foundation. Neither he nor the Legis-
lature have committed any crime about this
matter that We can perceive. They simply
allow the people to say whether they want
to change the fence .awJ OF not. 1t would
have been. .presumptuous tyranny for them
to havc refused to allow the people d righ
to say whether they wish, to change the
plan of fencing In any county in the State
We would call attention to the advertise
