The weather continues disagreeable, but

There is young man in this County that

The family of Mr.. E. G. Evans have
moved into the house recently occupied by
Mr.. Samuel E. Craig.
Anderson, S. c., is now better cotton
market than Augusta.-Hartreu SIN. Or
any other inland market.
There have been fewer horses and mules
brought to this market for sale this season
than for several years past
Persons communicating to our represen-
tatives in the Legislature should address
them at the Virginia House.

handsome and commodious dwelling at his
Beaverdam place, in oconee County.

.. Persons entitled to premiums awarded
at the last County Fair cen get them by

Mr.. E. T. Cashine, the operator at this
place, requests us to say that the telegraph
Office is open every Sunday from 9 to 10 q.
m. and from Sto 0 p: m.
The Revenues" don't relish such jokes
as the Lowndesville boys deal in, and we
venture the opinion that they won't spend
another night in that section again soon.
Mr.. James Anderson is fully prepared to
supply his customers with Christmas goods
of every description. Be sure to give him
call, as lie is in every respect worthy of
your patronage.
A friend told us the other day that the
announcement of our purpose to secure
list of all the preachers that went to the
circus kept them away. Well, that &C
counts for SO many vacant seats on Friday.
Saleday passed off quietly, and only few
pieces of real estate were sold. The busiest
men in town were the horse-swappcrs, sew
eral dozen in number all of whom carried
home different critters from what they
brought.
The firing of pistol in the hearing of
"Revenue" by anybody else except himself
is an objectionable sin, and the perpetrator
of such foul deed deserves to be hung by
the tongue in the highest tree in Abbeville
County, and his body left for food of carniv-
erous birds.
Remember that the old firm of E. B.
Murray &.Co. are anxious to close up their
business, and that all who are indebted to
them, either for advertising or subscription,
would confer a very great favor by calling
at the INrELI1eENcER office at once and Set
tling up.
We were pleased 10 meet our esteemed
friend and neighbor, Mr.. D. A. Smith, of
the Keowee Courier, in Anderson on last
Friday, who was down on business. The
Courier has just entered upon its fourteenth
volume, and is one of the best country
papers in the State.
Mr.. VIM. E. Pagett, formerly of this
County, but citizen of Ellis County, Texas,
since the fall of 1871, died on the 10Th ult.,
of pulmonary consumption, in the 5Oth
year of his age. Mr.. Pagett was well known
in this County, having been born and raised
within its limits, and the news of his death
will be received by many with sadness.
The Washington (Ga.) Ga=ctte says that
little steamer was carried up the Savan-
nah river last week, bound for Tugalo river,
where it will ply between Fort Madison, on
the Air Line Railroad, and point about
thirty miles distant down the river. Its
course will comprise about all of the navi-
gable portion of that river. The steamer
was carried up the river OH flat.
The Great London Circus exhibited here
on Friday last, but was not so extensively
patronized by our people as circuses Gener-
ally are. The crowd on the street was quite
as large as usual, though the attendance
upon the performance is said to have been
much smaller, many questioning whether
they paid expenses. The circus proper was
better than the average, while the menag-
erie was somewhat inferior.
The Young Mems Christian Association
OF Newterry have recently opened q read
ing room, which is well supplied with
wholesome and instructive literature, and
is open every evening from to 10 o'clock.
Cannot Anderson afford rs much? There
is nothing that tends to elevate the standard
of morality and intelligence in O communi-
ty more than the distribution of good, sound
and wholesome reading matter. Yves should
have the reading room, and it should be
free to al.
An alteration occurred between two
young men by the name of Mcdonald ard
Hall on last Monday about three miles
south of this place, which resulted i'll the
stabbing of Hall in the left shoulder by
Mcdonald. The wound is very painful
one, though it is not considered dangerous.
1t seems that there have been differences
between the parties for some time past, and
they made the accidental meeting OH the
public highway the occasion for settling
them. They were alone and further par
