The crowds in town on Monday, Tuesday
and "Wednesday were simply tremendous.
The public square was jammed with vehi-
cles during the greater part Of the dny.
While there was considerable drinking the
order was good, and very few arrests were
made by the police.
We direct attention to the advertisement
of e. B. Benson & Co., Of Hartwell, Ga.
They have fine trade already in Georgia,
and making strenuous efforts to induce our
people across the Savannah to trade with
them. Those who go to HaTtwell ought
certainly to give them call.

our enterprising people and our rich and

1t would be hard matter to find hard
er-worked set of men than the train hands
conductors, engineers and all-on the An.

eighteen hours out of tho twenty four, day
after day, week after week, and month after
month, and you can form some faint idea
Of their hard lot.
Col. Temple. the Superintendent of the
Greenville and Columbia Railroad, accom-
panied by the Paymaster and other officers
ofthe Road, spent Monday night in An

Walhalla. The Paymaster is out on his
accustomed monthly rounds settling with
the employees OF the road, while the Super
;ntendent seems to be on an inspecting
tour.
The entertainment by the South Carolina
Minstrels ON "Wednesday, 1lth instant, in
Masonic Hall, was all that could have been
desired in that line of amusement. The
young men all performed their parts admi-
rably, considering that it was the first ap-
pearance of many of them on the stage.
Encouraged by the largo auji,ie1ioe with
which they were favored on their first ap-
pearance before the public, they will give
other entertainments of similar character
at an early day.
