Columbia to Hendersonville, N. c., where
he has opened frst-class hotel. He is
we'll known all over the State as the pro-
prietor for several years past of the Vir-
ginia House in Columbia, and will doubt

tourists will find better place at which
to spend few days than Hendersonville,
nor will they hardly find hotel at which
they will receive better attention than Maj.
Dodamead's.

The Atlantic and French Broad Railroad
Company have procured forty-nine convicts
from the South Carolina Penitentiary, and
are now working them in grading the road
from Easley Station, on the Air Line, to.
wards Pickens G. n. The Company have
gone to work quietly, without any demon
stration or parade about breaking dirt, and
all that fuss and feathers which usually end
in nothing. They evidently mean business,
and intend working their way over the
The Anderson and Easley
Railroad must be completed in time to
give US the advantages of this projected
Western connection.
The Oconee Republicans held their Coun-
ty Convention last week and elected two
delegates to the State Convention, one of
whom was NJ. n. Bryce, brother of Alex.
Bryce, the man who was murdered in
Oconee last August, the other delegate
being negro. The Convention passed q
series of resolutions, the general sentiment
of which partake strongly of the old Radi-
cal flavor. They want Grant nominated
for President, and think it advisable for the
Republicans of this State to put full ticket
in the field, and make square fight against
the Democracy.
Messrs. G. F. Tolly and II. G. Scudday
represented the Young Mems Christian AS
sociation of Anderson in the State Conven-
ton at Orangeburg last week. They say
the meeting was very well attended, and
that much good to the order in this State
will likely result from it. The meeting was
attended by some of the most eminent min
listers of the gospel in the State, whose pres
ence and counsel added great deal to the
interest of the occasion. Mr.. 7. ". STAN
land, Of Charleston. was elected President
of the Convention, which commences the
work of another year under more than
usually favorable circumstances.
The heavy rains on Saturday and Sunday
nights made the ground too wet to plough
on Monday, and it seemed that everybody
had business in town, and from early in the
morning until late in the afternoon the
square was crowded with vehicles of every
description. The merchants and theil
clerks were kept busy waiting on their
numerous customers, and from all appear.
ances did an unusually large business
"Mountain Dew" was freely imbibed, but
the police found little trouble in keeping
order, and everything passed off quietly
This is the way we like to see it. Il men
will drink ardent spirits, let them act like
they had respect for themselves, as well TO,
other people and the community at large.
A gentleman of this town, who was al
Seneca City on Sunday last. and who ha:
character for veracity, says that it rained
down frogs in abundance at that place on
that morning. AS an evidence that they
came from the clouds, he states that they
were seen to fall into house through 6
broken window pane, and that sprinkline
pot that was filled with rain water had sew
eral frogs in it. Considering the size of the
opening in sprinkling pot, they certainly
must have come thick and fast in order fol
several to have gotten into a single vessel o.
that kind. Should this shower of hopping
animals turn out to be of the green species
and our friends of Oconoe make up theil
minds to make the use of them that is made
in some sections, the demand for frying
sized chickens in that locality will not bt
very great this season. and the Countie!
adjoining will thereby reap some of the
benefits of this most wonderful shower of
living animals, as it will compel those Of
that County who have chickens for sale tc
seek marke: elsewhere. We desire to put
in Anderson's claim at once for her quots
of the surplus frying sized chickens.
