"0ur informant, who told us about the
senior proprietor of the Anderson INTELLr-
eENcER losing his watermelon crop betting
on Grant, was in error. We are glad to
know this, and can assure the old man
that it took an awful amount Of swearing
10 convince US that he had done so foolish
thing, especially as every good, sound
Democrat in the country knew that Grant
could be too easily defeated by the 'unter-
rified,' and that there was no such good
luck in store for us as his nomination
Garfield will be defeated, however, and as
the old man has won half crop from
his neighbors the next handsomest thing he
can do is to invite US up to get away with
the melons. we join you,' with pro-

proviso?
Mrs. Albert Baker, nee Miss Eliza Kay,
died very suddenly at the residence of her
husband, in Central, on Monday morning
last. She was of delicate constitution, but
for several weeks Immediately preceding
her death she had enjoyed unusually good
health, and on Monday morning got up as
usual and prepared breakfast, and partook
of the meal with more than usual relish,
but before IL o'clock she was corpse, hav-
ing died of hemorrhage of the lungs. Her
remains were brought to this place on Tues
day morning and conveyed to Mountain
Creek Church, where they were consigned
to their final resting place in the graveyard
adjacent, after impressive funeral services.
She was an excellent lady, and had many
relatives and friends in this County who
mourn her death.
The Columbia correspondent of the News
| and Courier sends the following bit of news
to that paper under date Of the 18th inst. ::
GA proposition emanating from one of the
county chairnen of this Congressional dis
trict has lately been made to the chairmen
of the other counties composing the district,
suggesting that the convention for the third
Congressional district be held at Abbeville
on the 9Th of July. The matter was dis
cussed informally by a number of the chair
men, but without agreeing upon any date
or place for holding the convention. 1t has
been suggested here that August will be
early enough to nominate Congressman,
and that Newberry, from its central loca-
ton, would be the proper place for the con-
vention to meet. This idea will be presen-
ted in due time and will probably prevail" !"
So far as the time for holding the convcn-
ton is concerned, We agree entirely with
the suggestion that it should not be called
to meet esrlier than August, but as to the
place of meeting we do not favor either of
the places mentioned. Abbeyille is more
central than Newberry, but Hodges is more
central than Abbeville.
