ihe nosrd OF Directors of the S. y.RR
ne' a' ho|ndesrille OIL Tuesday for the
purpose OF receiving and CONSIDERING n,o1
posals for grading the remainder % a.
road but we have not as yet heard the re-
~. VI Tue meeting. Several proposals had
peel paced In the hands of the secretarv
oi tne Board, and 1t is probable that tho
greater part of the line was let ont and ,hat
the work of grading will be resumed in y
very snort time. and pushed forward with
the greatest yigor. Such, at least Is tho
general hope of all our people.
Inc lecture of Rev. Mr.. DuBose in the
Presbyterian church Friday night ON China
was indeed very interesting and instructive
ne picture he presents of the superstition
ana nlolatry of the people is dark one
OUT a''er ten years of labor in China n, a
missionary he is satisfied ths. /, 10 not ;,
possible to introduce new religion into
.he country. He is pleasant speaker. and
heio the closest attention Of his audience
throughout his discourse. Wherever ho
goes and he is now making tour of tho
state we believe, he never fails to awolon
new interest in China missions
AT meeting of the Masonic Lodge ON
monday night it was decided to celebrate
tue 24th June, st. Johns Day. Several
speakers will he sac7eTc3 for the occasion
which will doubtless be one of grcs. olcas.
ure. On the evening of the Oath an enter.
taininent will be given in the Masonic Hall.
TO which the public generally will be iny.
ted, the object Of which will be to raise
money for the purpose of fitting ND the
HAL with new seats. etc. This is matter
IN which all of our citizens are more or less
interested, and we hope the entertainment
will be largely patronized.
we clip the following from the Hartwell
Sun, which is published as original (?) mat
ter; IA young South Carolina lawvcrs
maiden effort before Justices court on
hog stealing case: May it please your
Honor, upon the wild mountain ton.
where the green laurel grows and the
mountain goat leaps from cliff to cliff
there-there, may it please your Honor
there iuy this hogs skim Justice: Tint
hog wasn't stolen in the mountains of
Oconee; the counsel will please bring that
hogs skin back into Anderson county
where it properly belongs. This Courts
jurisdiction is somewhat limited"
Our subscribers at Townville and Fair
Play complain that they do not get their
papers until Saturday, whereas, by the
connection made at Seneca by the trains
in the afternoon since the change in the
schedules. they ought to get them or Thurs.
day. The mail for these points leaves here
wednesday afternoon and .,ht to reach
Westminster that evening, lom which
place the mail for Townvillc and Fair PLAY
is sent out Thursday morning We do not
know why it is our papers are delayed, but
shall endeayor to ascertain and have the
matter attended to. Some of the postal
officers are at fault, but exactly which one
we do not know.
