At meeting Of the young men on last

The lamp in the rear of Granite Row has
been broken, and therefore is not kept
lighted. The business men Of this Row
subscribed to erect :his lamp with the un-
de,.tanding that the Council was to furnish
1t with oil and keep it repaired. We hope
our present Council win have it fixed as it
is the most important lamp about the town.
BY bdng lighted 1t prevents nuisances, end
is o great protection to the property Of the
Row, and If nothing better can be done, We
are sure the people Of the town would pre-
fer having the lamp in front of the Row re-
moved to tho rear. We hope the Council
will look after this matter
The reduction in freights has given to
Anderson very considerable advantage over
former seasons in her business prospects.
The reduction which this has made in the
prices Of goods, the convenience Of this
point as market, and the reliability and
reputation for fair dealing which our mer-
chant, have established, together with the
standard quality Of merchandise which has
slways characterized the business here,
combine to entitle Anderson to large and
prosperous trade this Fall. Persons need
not go to other points, for they can do as
well or better simply by coming to Ander1
son.
The many friends Of Mr.. David A. Wood
son will regret to learn of his death, which
occurred last week in Salisbury, N. c., in
the si1ty-ninth year of his age. Mr.. Wood.

yean ago. where he married and settled.
After the death of his wife few years ago,
he sold his property here and returned to

spend his last days among his kindred and
the scenes of his youth. During his resi-
dence in our midst he made many friends,
. all Of whom will sympathize with his be-
reayed relatives. he was printer by trade,
and for many years faithful compositor in
this Office.
