BRIEF MENTION.

The farmers say they never had better
weather for gathering cotton.
The wood market has opened at seventy
five cents for two-horse loads.
The drop down in cotton has caused
falling off in receipts for the last few days.
Remember to pay your subscription when
you sell your cotton. We need the money.
The cold east wind on Sunday and Mon
day last made fire quite necessary for COM
fort.
The Rev. R. 81. Nall, of Greenville, will
preach in the Presbyterian Church next
Sunday at IL p. m.
The continued dry weather has made the
streets and roads very dusty, and everybody
is wishing for rain.
One gossipper, in twenty-four hours time,
can destroy all the peace and good feeling of
whole community.
Another big colored camp meeting next
Sunday. This time it is held at Hunnicuts
Crossing on the Blue Ridge Railroad.
The corporators of the Savannah Valley
Railroad will hold an important meeting al
this place on next Wednesday, October 1st.
A typographical error in our last issue
made Master Johnnie Cooper, the champion
cotton picker of the Lowndesville neighbor-
hood, % years old instead of l3.
Mr.. c. D. Shuford has commenced work
on residence for Capt. J. ]. Fretwell on
the lot on Main street beyond the residence
of Mr.. S. Bleckley. 1t will be a cottage of
four or five rooms.
Don't take your cotton elsewhere until
you give the Anderson merchants trial.
They will pay as much for cotton as the
merchants of any other place, and will also
sell goods as cheap.
Messrs. j. P. Reed, Jr., and Columbus
Wardlaw have gone to Virginia to continue

to be found in this issue of the New York
Cash Store, Paris Store Barr & Co., Ladies
Store, Reed g. Herrick, Cunningham & Co.,
Miss Della Keys and j. B. Clark & Son.
The Abbeville County Fair will be held
this year on 29th, 30th and 31st of October,
just one week after the Anderson Fair. It
| will doubtless be success, and we hope
some of our citizens will find time to at
| tend.
The cotton receipts ut this place for the
week ending Tuesday night last aggregated
| 744 bales against 323 for the same time last
year. This makes 1888 bales for Anderson
this year, probably the largest amount ever
sold here this early in the season.
| We had intended this week 10 have given
the business houses of Anderson an extend
ed notice, but owing to the fact that Court
has been in session all week, i'll which the
editor has been constantly engaged, we have
been compelled to postpone it until next
week.
| The Abbeville Press and Banner calls for
| reduction from fifty to twenty-five cents in
the gate fees of the Abbevlle Fair and says
ave want a big crowd and the only way to
have large attendance is to reduce the gate
| fees to q reasonable price. Let families come
in Mt the rate of dollar dozen or twenty
| five cents,for single person." We repro
duce the suggestion for the benefit Of our
Fair authorities.
The Circuit Court is still in session, and
| will likely consume the greater portion. if
not ALL of the week. The jury causes were
finished on last Friday, and since that time
his Honor, Judge PRESLEY. has been dill
gently disposing of the equity causes, some
of which have been long and tedious. The
| Court has been one of the most pleasant
that has ever been held in Anderson and
the bar and our people are greatly pleased
with the presiding Judge, who has increased
| the favorable impression he first made by the
better acquaintance, which his administra-
ton of the law for the past ten days has CIV
en- our people with him.
The Augusta Chronicle aud Constit,aionalist
says that work is progressing on the bridge
for the Augusta, Knoxville and Greenwood
Railroad across the Savannah River. One
| of the abutments has been completed and
another is under way. The lower portion
of the piers will be done during the dry
| weather in order that there will be no delay
when the rains commence and the River
rises in the Winter. The abutments and
piers will be constructed of stone masonry,
of the most substantial character. The
bridge will be ready by the time the grad
ing on the entire line between Greenwood
and the River is finished.
| The Palmetto lcOmdn recently stated that
Elder Thomas Dawson, of Pendlcton, was o
veteran of Waterloo. Our contemporary
has made q mistake, but one which has been
current among the friends of Bro. Dawson
for many years. He was lieutenant in
the British army when the battle Of Water
