The flash of a diamond that adorns the

ornament ON the hand is visible it attracts,

DR.. W. g. Browne, of Atlanta, formerly
of this place, is on visit to relatives i'll our
midst. He is we'll known to the people OF
Anderson County as an excellent dentist,
and any one desiring his professional SER
yes can obtain them by calling on him at
the Benson House.
We would give word of warning to the
parents of Anderson who allow their boys
to frequent the depot at train time. When
they are allowed such privileges they soon
become reckless and daring, which often
leads to some painful accident. Keep the
boys away from the depot.
Rev. S. Lander, D. D., President of the
Williamson Female College, lectured on
education in the Methodist Church on last
Friday night. His lectdre was interesting
throughout, and the tone study" and "pri-
vate graduation" features of his College
supported by able arguments.
We would direct attention to the card of
R.A. Reid, NJ. D., which appears in this
issue. DR.. Reid recently graduated IN the
Charleston Medical College, and now offers
professional services to the people of An
derson and surrounding country. He is
gentleman of culture and ability, and will
doubtless receive liberal share of public
patronage.
We are indebted to Mr.. S. NJ. Crayton for
basket of very large Irish potatoes. They
are decidedly the finest we have seen tins
wear, if not the finest we ever saw raised IN
this Comfy. There is no crop that makes
a better return to the farmer or gardener.
when properly cultivated, than Irish pota-
toes. and we would be pleased to see some
one make All experiment in this section OF
raising them for market.
On the Sth inst. two little colored boys,
children of Warren Sanders. on the planta-

township, killed rattlesnakc four feet long,
ten inches in circumference. and having ten
rattles. The little fellows were only Ave
and seven years of age, and killed the snake
with stick not exceeding two feet long.
This was certainly remarkable battle for
such small boys, who were utterly uncon-
scious of the danger they ran.
Mr.. John E. Peoples has doubled his a1-
yertising space this week. He is determ-
ined that everybody in Anderson County

sents number of certificates from respon-
sible gentlemen in this County, whose
opinions are worth considering. He is also
selling an excellent cotton press and porta.
BILE engine, Whlch ne ~lSnes those VINO uc-
sire to purchase to examine.
We know of nothing but the wind and
moon that changes oftener than the schedule
of the G. & G. r. R. True, the last change
makes it little better for passengers on
the Blue Ridge Division going in the dircc-
ton of Columbia, as the morning train
now reaches Belton about an hour later,
reducing the time for lying over at that
place to three hours; but why can not there
be some stability in the management of af-
fairs? The morning train now reaches this
place at S.17 and leaves at 1927.
