The Hampton Guardian, new paper pub
lished at Hampton G. II. by Mr.. NJ. b. Nc
Sweeny. made its appearance on the 22nd
inst. 1t was formerly published at Ninety
itself an enviable reputation. 1t promises
now, however, to be even better in it's new
than 1t was in its old field, and we hope the
people of Hampton County will show their
appreciation OF its worth by liberal pat
ronage.
:, q meeting of o portion of the citizens of
Varennss township was held ut Flat Rock
ey OF subscribing to the capital stock Of the
Savannah Vallay Railroad. Col. J. w.
Norris was called to the chair, nnd addresses
were made by Messrs. Latimer, Diver,
Iolly, Norris, Humphreys. Rucker and
barnes, all in favor of the Road. The son.
vided, but by far the larger portion appears
TO favor the subscription.
The Battalion Drill at Cross Roads ON last
Saturday was most creditable affair. Mai.
MCGEE showed himself to be q. fine drill
master, and his men were well up to the
mannuvers. Col. Walters and Lieut.-C
Jones, with the regimental staff, were also

the citizens of that section entertained their
visitors with sumptuous and abundant
basket dinner, which was evidently much
enjoyed by all who were present. The oc-
caston was very pleasant one.
Capt. J. @. Stribling has our thankt for
the largest watermelon we have ever seen,
and which was grown by him on the Ashta-
ouia STOCK Farm, near Pendleton. The
melon was well proportioned, and measured
three feet and three inches in circumference,
with weight Of forty-seven pounds. The
pest part OF 1t, however, was that it was as
delicious to the taste as it was attractive to
the eye. Such water-melons as that are
worth raising, and Capt. Stribling knows as
much about how to raise them as any man
in the County.
The ladies of the Presbyterian Church
invite the citizens of Anderson to q festival
TO be held in the Masonic Hall on Friday
evening, 29th. at o'clock, when ice cream.
cake, sherbet and fruits may be enjoyed.
at o'clock chaste and simple tabIeau
VIII be exhibited, wholly under the control
OF the Indies and in the interest of the new
Church. After the tableau the sale of re-
freshments will be resumed. An excellent
Orchestra will furnish music for the occa-
sion, and it is hoped our citizens generally
will turn out Admission at the door free.
There are some persons who fear that if
we vote tax to the Savannah Valley Rail
road in Anderson County our money will
be taken to build the Road to Lowndesville,
ana we will be left without Road after
paying our money. The only puarantea
that we have against this is that we are sub
scribing more money than the three Abbe
vile townships, and can therefore control
the matter; and in the next place the char
ter requires the Road to be constructed from
not from Augusta to Anderson, The work.
therefore, must begin on this end of the
line, and our money will be spent IL. c:r
own midst.
the review and inspection of the 11th
Brigade OF Cavalry, By the Adjutant and
inspector General and Governor, which
taxes place in Anderson to-day, promises to
pecting full turnout Of both Regiments.
AiIer the inspection and review, the crowd
Will assemble at Hampton Park and be ad-
dressed by Governor Simpson Adintart
and Inspector General Noise and Congress-
man Aiken, each of whom are accomplished
pecially and cordially invited to witness
the review and attend the speaking. The
occasion will be a most interesting md
pleasant one.
A new daily, the Palmetto Youn,an, O five
column evening paper, made It's appearance
IN columbia for the first time on Thursday
last. 1t is neatly printed. well edited, and
career In the journalistic field. It is edited
and published by Mr.. G. M. McJunkin, a
practical printer of many years experience.
and who is well known to the people of
south Carolina as one of the original foun-
ders OF the Register and for several years
the editor ana proprietor of the Working
Christid',, now the Baptist Courier. The
people OF Columbia are not n lied for their
nDeral1ty towards or appreciation of good
newspapers, but we trust the Youn,a,, will
receive meritorious patronage ut their
hands.
The South Carolina and the Greenville g.
Columbia Railroads will sell excursion
tickets to Charleston and return, beginning
Sn the LIST and ending on the Sd of Septeme.
Der, and good to return until the 8tb. 9th
and 10Th of September, thus allowing seven
days for the tip. which will give FIVE days
IN charleston. The fare will be about S.
or not more than $3.50, from Anderson to
Charleston and return. This yery low rate
IS offered as an inducement to our mer-
chants from the up-country to go to Charles
ton to purchase their gou ). and we hope it
Will have the effect of inducing very manv
to turn their direction from New York to
charleston. at any rate, the railroads have
done their. part, and will no doubt have a
very liberal patronage as their reward. Tho
notice ia. however, too short to be available
TO as many as would otherwise have zone.

The announcement of the death of Mrs.
