little daughter OF Mr.. j. j.. Nance, OF hal
township, which occurred from an affection
of the throat, supposed to be diphtheria, or
Sunday, 25th of August, after an illness O.
few days. The little girl was but thres
years of age, and the fond parents have the
sympathy of the community in their be-
reavement at her untimely death, just a:
she was entering the years of interesting
childhood.
Complaints have been made to US for two
weeks that the Toney Creek package ol
papers from this Office does not arrive until
one week after they are issued. This
should not be the case, for the papers are
mailed here on Wednesday evening and
ought to get to Toney Creek on the Friday
following. We hope the attention of those
along the line will be given to this matter,
and that they will be forwarded regularly
hereafter. The package ought to reach
Bolton Thursday morning and be forwarded
from there.
The Camp Meeting at Sandy Springs be-
gins W Wcdnesday next and continues until the
following Sabbath. This is the most large
ly attended religious encampment in the
upper part of the State, and attracts large
congregations from this and the surround
ing counties. The attendance this year is
expected to be fully up to the large average
which has been attained during past years.
Ministers of ability and eloquence are ex-
pected to conduct the religious services, and
very interesting meeting is anticipated.
It is with sorrow that we. announce the
death of Paul, little son of Mr.. Mike
Nicely, of Bolton, which occurred on last
Monday morning, after short illness from
diphth.ria. He had just past FIVE summers
when the destroyer claimed him as not of
this world and transferred his little spirit to
a better and happier world. The remains
were brought to Anderson by special train
on Tuesday and inferred in the Presbyterian
Church Yard after appropriate funeral SER
vices. The community sympathize with
the stricken family in their loss.
The Anderson and Central Base Ball
Clubs played match game with picked
nine from each club at the Blue Ridge Yard
in Anderson on last Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Thos. F. Hill acted as umpire, and
very large crowd Of ladies and gentlemen
assembled to witness the game, which was
very close and exciting one, ending in favor
of the Anderson Club. by score of twenty
nine to twenty.six. This places the Ander-
son Club as the champion club Of the up
country. We learn, however, that Central
is not satisfied, and that two more games
are to be played to decide the championship.
Parker is going to have Republican
County Convention at Anderson on the
2lst day of this month to nominate Re
publican ticket for County oficers-in other
words to nominate Parker for the Legisla-
ture. We suggest to the colored people of
Anderson County that they will find it
more profitable to stay at home and work
in their crops than to come to Anderson for
the purpose of acting as the tail of the po-
litical kite of which Parker is the head and
body. That kite will not be able to raise
wind enough to get up respectable sail,
and on the fifth of November it will be
buried by about four thousand Democratic
We regret to announce the death of Mrs:
J. C. Allen, which occurred at the residence
of her husband in the Corner township of
this County on last Sunday morning after
q lingering illness. Mrs. Allen was sister
Of Rev. w. A. Hodges, and was an excel
lent lady in all of the relations of life. She
was an affectionate wife, fond mother,
and genial companion, and has gone to
the grave lamented by friends and acquain-
tances who sympathize with her family in
their sore afaiction. On Monday her re-
mains were placed to rest in Roberts
Churchyard, where many of her family
who have preceded her in death sleep that
sleep which knows no waking until the
final day of all things come.
The Columbia Register boasts that one of
its citizens has chicken which lays an egg
one day and crows like rooster the next,
but we can beat this. Capt. J. L. Bryan,
of this County, has hen which laid two
eggs at the same time. The Captain has
brought the eggs to this Office in proof Of
his assertion, and they show clearly that
they are twins, having their sides consider
ably fattened, and fitting to each other e1-
actly. The Captains hen is prodigy, and
if she will only keep on laying two eggs at
q time will be doubly as valuable as m or
dinary hon, and four times as valuable as
the one OF which the Register speaks, for it
only lays one egg in two days, while Capt.
Bryan's would lay four in the same time.
Mr.. n. A. McCully is doing an extensive
business in hauling goods from Central to
Anderson. This is the result of oppressive
and discriminating freight tariffs on the
GTeenVlll6 O. NOluluUld dllO SOuLu SdlOliiid
Railroads, which have not only driven
freights from these Roads, but has also
driven trade from Charleston to great ex-
tent. Arrangements are now being made
by which it is expected to carry cotton from
Anderson to New York as cheap or cheaper
than it is now carried to Charleston, and if
this is done most of the cotton from this
section will 60 to New York. Charleston
ought to bring influences to bear on Mr..
McGrath which would induce him to
change his course, which only tends to in
jure everything connected with his Rail-
roads. This is no idle talk, but is repre-
sentation of things as they exist. 1t will be
lucky thing for the State if'a change in
the control of these.Roads can be effected so
as to get rid of Mr.. McGrath's management.
On last Monday little boy some ten or
eleven years old took horse, saddle and
bride, which belonged to Mr.. w. Lewis
Green, and was hitched on the lawn by the
Baptist Church in Anderson. He rode the
