The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1878-10-17

citizens from the surrounding country as
sembled to hear of The new road which it
is proposed to build, connecting their quiet
town by direct line with the great West.
A number of interesting speeches were
made, and the discussion of the merits of
the proposed road elected great deal of
genuine, though quiet, enthusiasm in its
behalf. These meetings are but the prelim-
inaries to the vigorous effort that will soon
be made to secure the completion OF the
road, and its friends were fully satisfied
with the interest manifested. After the
speaking q splendid barbecued dinner was
spread before the crowd, and every one
seemed to have most pleasant day.
Several citizens from the Brushy Creek
country have been to Anderson with cotton
to sell during the past week, and expressed
themselves as highly pleased with the place
as q market. If the citizens of this section
would turn their trade to Anderson they
would no doubt find the difference in the
market here make up for the additional dis
tance to this point. hepriccs given for cot
ton are as high as those given anywhere in
the upper portion of the State. Supplies and
goods are sold as reasonably as they can be
procured in any neighboring market. The
goods sold by our merchants are standard
and reliable. Taking everything into con-
sideration, We are satisfied that the citizens
| Of every part of Anderson County will find
it greatly to their interests to make their
| own Court House town their market.
We are requested to announce that Hamp-
ton Grange, No 364, P. H., will hold its
| next regular meeting on Saturday 10th
inst, at 10 o'clock q. M. Business of i'm
portance demands full attendance.
The entertainment of the Little Girls
Mission Society ON last Friday evening was
literally patronized by our citizens, but we
have not been able to ascertain the amount
of the proceeds.
Capt. ]. l.. Bryan, presented lis on last
| Friday with half dozen second crop June
apples, which were about thesize Of q guinea
egg, and fully matured.
We neglected to acknowledge in our last
issue the receipt of some very fine sweet
potatoes from Mr.. w. B. Erskinc.
The sweet potato crop in this County is
very fine this year.

AMONG THE TOMBS.

The genial sunshine, clear blue sky
and almost balmy temperature of last
Sunday, 10th OF March, lured many Of
the citizens of Shepherdstown to health
full, outdoor strolls; few walked among
the Tombs in the beautiful Elmwood
Cemetery, spot that all might occa-
sionly visit with profit. TO the proud
it would teach humility; TO the over
ambitious and avaricious, the uncertain
ty of earthly hopes, and the vanity OF
worldly distinction and possessions, in
the presence Of the great leveler, death.
The sermons in stones" carved TO com
municate the dead, are, TO the living,
impressive and eloquent in their silent
speech. The brevity of life is there
made s,rikingly apparent, the great
majority having passed away in early
lie, very few, it is seen, reached fifty
years. a few have lived out the allott-
ed time of three score years and ten.
They have been carefully laid away;
tender care has been taken of their rest
ing place. As stood with my friend,
G. d. McGlincy, this thought impressed
itself upon my mind, "dnst thou art, and
unto dust shalt thou retnrn," seemed to
be in my mind continually, as ! saw the
tombs all covered over with wreathes
and votive offerings. Many graves
were unknown TO me, yet each is occu-
pied by somebody's darling" With
the warm sunshine Identifying the land
scape, we left the city of the dead, re-
fecting on the varieties of life, its tur-
moils and struggles, and marvelled that
any one cheered by the promise of i'm
mortality should unduly mourn for those
who, having ended their pilgrimage,
have gone to join the innumerable
throng who people fairer chimes.

TAKE UP THE BONDS.

This is question of great importance
TO orr citizens, and one which should
be taken into consideration by ouS1ext
Council. There is no use in allowing
ourselves to be taxed for an indefDate
time upon 3 debt that can in some meas
ure be avoided. Let something more be
done in the future than has been done 10
the past, in reducing the number Of Cor
pora,ion bonds, upon which we have
been for the last eight years paying six
per cent in gold as interest. Let our
municipal expenses be eurtailed, and ill.,
stead OF expanding four or FIVE hundred
dosSays upon our streets, let the most OF
that amosnt be applied to the lifting of
these bonds Tbis * debt that must
be paid, aud the sooner We get rid Of It
the better We will be Of Let our city
fathers expend no more upon the cor
poration than absolute necessity de-
mands, and with economical and pru-
dent measures, we think the taking up
and paying off of our boads can be ac
complished in much, more rapid man
ner than has been done in the past.
We make these suggestions, because
we think they are IN accordance with
the wishes and best interests OF our ci,i
zens. There has been more money ex-
pended upon our streets during the past
year than there has been any necessity
for. Several hundred dollars should
have been used in buying bonds.
