It is useless for US to speak of MIR. Less
er's goods and prices, as every one knows
that bargains can always be secured in

out shopping be sure to drop in and see
him.

days, and they attracted the admiration

We are informed that the beautiful and
commodious church about to be erected
at Pelzer is the gift of Francis ]. Pelzer,
Esq, of Charleston, in whose honor the
town is named, to the Pelzer Manufactu-
ring Company, and is not being erected
by the efforts of the different denomina-
tions there, though it will be occupied by
them all on different days. We copied
the statement, now corrected, from the
Greenville Nep,.
Mr.. Henry Groce, Of Gainesville, Ga,

Hon. J. E. Boggs, of Pickens, paid
Anderson visit of few days last week.
Mr.. Boggs has been an able and efficient
representative of his County in the House
of Representatives. He is candidate for
reelection, and will doubtless be return
ed by his constituents with an increased
majority, as tribute to his past service.
In addition to his interest in politics, Mr..
Boggs is one of the leading lawyers at
the Pickens Bar.
Walhalla Courier "The Perry Brothers
have received eight knitting machines
for their stocking factory in Walhalla,
which are being placed in position, ready
to commence work about the first of May.
The capacity of each of these machines is
about four to FIVE dozen stockings per
day. This will be new and important
industry for this section of country, and
we hope it will prove profitable to the
young men who have made this venture
in manufacturing in our midst"
In company with our young friend,
Willie Crayton, We took horseback ride
late Tuesday afternoon out to tho Gen.
erostee Stock Farm. We arrived there
just as the big herd of cattle were being
stabbed for the night. Notwithstanding
the lateness of the hour and our limited
time, we could not resist the opportunity
of going through the stables and looking
at the fine cattle. 1t is sight worth
walking miles to see. At some future
time we propose telling our readers
something about this enterprise.
Our Pickens friends are anxious for tie
Savannah Valley Railroad to be extend
ed to that place. The Sentinel, of last
week, says: "Should the Savannah Val
lev Railroad be extended to this place, it
is evident that Liberty Station and town.
ship will make an earnest effort to have
the road extended via that place. The
question is now being quietly agitated,
and the friends of the movement claim
that the road via that place would be
shorter and develop better section Of
country than it would via Easley Sta
tion."
On last Saturday afternoon number of
citizens gathered at Mr.. E. B. Murrays
fish pond in the city to see the new steam
fire engine, "Pioneer," recently purchased
by the City Council, tested. DR.. r. F.
Diver was in charge of the engine, and
soon had it properly fred up, but finding
that the whistle and some other parts we're
off, the test was delayed until he could
procure others from his machine shop.
Soon after his return steam was raised,
and the stream of water started. Owing
to air leaks, however, the stream did not
reach near the height which was expect
ed-the stream only going some fifty feet
in the air. With a little experience we
have no doubt the engine will prove eff
cient. DR.. Diver will thoroughly over
haul the various parts of the engine, and
put it in first class order. AS itstands now,
the engine will throw stream to the top
of any house in Anderson.
