hite, the father of Mrs. Baker.
John E. Allen, Esq, made q narrow es-
cape from injury while riding through the
square last Friday evening by his horse
:stubling and falling upon him. BE, how
ever, extricated himself so dexterously as
to escape unhurt.
j. Mr.. james M. Latimer and Mr.. Baker, of
Lowndesyille, were in town on Tuesday,
looking after the Augusta Railroad move
mens. They find the people of Anderson
in full accord with them upon this impor-
liant question.
Mr.. Newton a. McCully has been elected
cotton weigher for the town of Anderson
ifor the corning year. He was one OF the
jpubIic weighers for last year, and as such
gave entire satisfaction to both buyers and
sellers. He will enter upon the duties of
his Office at once.
The Pendleton Base Ball Club is TO play
the "Resolute Club" of Greenville match
game at tPendleton to-day or tomorrow.
We are hallooing for the Pendleton boys in
this game, and hope they win be able to
take the brag over championship out OF
their Greenville adyersacies.
Mr.. W. "A. Dickson, our efficient and
punctua1 Fork correspondent, whose dot
tings have been read with much interest by
our subscribers, has given up the duties OF
the school room and removed to Ninety
Six, where he will follow mercantile pur-
suits In the store of Mr. ]. P. Phillips. for
mezly of this County. We wish Mr.. Dick
SON uauch success in life. 49,
a little son of Mr.. John J. Mattison, who
lives near Calhoun in this County, was shot
lin the thigh by pistol discharged in the
hands of colored boy last Sunday morn
ing The shooting was accidental, and was
the result of carelessness on the part Of the
iboy who had the pistol. Dr.. E. M. Brown,
of Bolton, was called in and extracted the
ball. It is thought to be only flesh wound,
and though painful it is hoped il will not
prove serious or permanent injury.
Our young friend, VIM. M. Wilcox, who
has been connected with the furniture busi-
ness as clerk in the furniture ware-rooms
of MI. @. F. Tolly, of this place, for num-
iber. Of years, has removed to Ninety Six,
where he will shortly open furniture store
on his own account. Mr.. Wilcox Is q thor
ough-going and energetic young man OF
good business qualif cations, and is in every
way a.reliable gentleman. who deserves to
sncosed inhis new business venture.
A petition has been received from num-
ber Of persons in Martin township asking
the County Commissioners to order new
election upon the fence question in that
township. IF our friends who oppose the
change in that township will read the law,
they will see that it does not authorize
a anew election in townships which adopt the
change, end hence the Commissioners can
not comply with their request.
We would call attention to the advertise
ment of Messrs. Wilkins, Williams & Co.,
of Greenville, which appears elsewhere.
These gentlemen are the most extensive
dealers in hardware and agricultural imple-
ments in upper South Carolina. Not only
will the trading public find it to their ad-
vantage to give them call while in Green
vile, bat the merchants through our
County can have their orders as advan-
tageously filed at this house as they can in
the Northern cities.
Although writing about Base Ball Clubs
seems to be as dangerous as lighting matches
in powder magazine, we will venture to
suggest to ''that citizen of Great Britain"
that he virtually reiterates our article about
the composition ofthe Pendleton club. We
will stand corrected as to the gentleman
from Savannah, and in turn correct the
Great! Britain man about the gentleman
from Charlottesville. Mr.. Massey, from
Charlottesville, is only on q visit to Pendle-
ton and has never been there before. Now,
we are willing to quit and call it even.
Mrs. Margaret Cox, wife Of the late Capt.
VIM. Cox, died at the residence of her son,
Maj. Geo. W. Cox, on last Saturday morn
ing, from the effects of the paralytc stroke

was over seventy years Of age, and had been
q devoted christian and useful woman for
many years. The funeral services were
performed in the Belton Baptist church by
Rev. w. E. Walters on last Sunday, in the
presence of a very large audience of relatives
and friends of the deceased. The occasion
was very solemn and impressive.
A number of protracted meetings have
been in progress in the Baptist Churches OF

tised fifty-two persons on Sunday at the
