Offices on Monday last.
Mr.. W. a. Frierson, who has been teach
ing in Abbeville County, is on visit to his
relatives in Anderson.
Last Monday was the dullest saleday OF
the year. The farmers are too busy to fool
away time now in idle gossip. y
The contract for building the barn and

ceive them without the penalty up to the
10th of July.
About forty or fifty little boys, together
with five or six gentlemen ana as many
ladies, enjoyed "fsh-fry" at High Shoals
on Saturday last.
We understand that many of the farmers
in the vicinity Of Williamson have had to
replant their cotton crop in consequences OF
injury by the hail storm about ten days
ago. -
When town warden buys horse and
buggy and rides around town every day or
two for month or so before the day of
election, people naturally conclude that he
is a candidate for reelection.

A white rat was killed in the barn on the
plantation of Mr.. D. E. Carlisle about ten
days ago, the skin (which was stuffed and
sent to him last week. We have had the
privilege of seeing it, and are prepared to
testify to its genuineness. 1t is the first ne
ever saw or heard of.
The ladies of the Presbyterian Church
will furnish ice cream for sale at Hampton
Grove this Thursday afternoon at six
O'Clock. In addition to the refreshments
the young people will be provided with q
croquet set which will conduce to render
the occasion exceedingly pleasant.
a musical treat was enjoyed at the resi-
dence of Mr.. s. Bleckley on Friday night
last. Mrs. Pinkind, Mr.. Won Hasseln, and
other accomplished musicians, both vocal
and instrumental, contributed to the even
ing's entertainment. The Either, an instru-
ment rarely met with in this country, makes
delightful music.

The lecf IRE on the "Inmortality Of the
Soul" delivered in the Baptist Church on
the evening of the 2sth ult., by Rev. L. M.
Aver was very able one, and was attend
ed by large and appreciative congregation.
The lecture is the first chapter Of work
that will probably be published in book
form at o future day.
The County Treasurer's books for the col
lection of the first installment Of the tax

day last. The aggregate tax for this County,
including the poll tax, amounts to $50, 1888,
of which amount $7,326.O2 has been paid.
Receipts issued, 5s7. This is decidedly
better showing than most of the counties
can make.
As the summer season advances the usual
number Of mad dogs are being slaughtered.
We have not heard of any in this County
SO far, but if we were satisfied that their ter
rible malady would not be communicated
to other creatures, we would be glad to know
that at least nine-tenths Of our canine pop
ulation were stricken with it; and then
what thinning out of worthless ours, and
hounds, and bulls, and fees would follow.
A series of special meetings were COM
menced in the Baptist Church at this place
on Sunday last, ard will continue through
this and next week, and probably through
the week following. So far the meetings
have only been prayer meetings, and have
been held at o'clock in the morning and
at o'clock in the afternoon, the morning
service lasting IS minutes and the afternoon
service one hour. A very deep interest pre-
walls among the Christians of the whole
town, and the services are largely attended.
The Pastor expects assistance the latter part
of this week, and coed results are anticipa-
tel.
Tie Nems and Co,rier's prize story, Gas
hurst" has attracted very general commen-
dation throughout the State, and that paper
now announces that with the number Of
June 18th another story, entitled the
"Bloom Of the Peach" will be begun in
the weekly edition. The News and Courier
now reaches all points along the Greenville
and Columbia Railroad on the day Of its
publication, which advantage, taken in

will doubtless secure for it very large aces
