A certain young man Of our acquaint-
ance recently called on a young lady.
During the visit he pulled out his elegant
gold watch several times to see the time.
The young lady apparently did not no.
tice his watch, and the last time be took
it out of his pocket he remarked that he
had been offered 10000 for it, but did not
know whether he would. sell it or not.
s.Perhaps it is an heirloom remarked
the young lady. 'No, it amt" replied
the young man, "its a patent lever"

Several gentlemen are talking very
strongly of organizing stock company
for the purpose of building commodi-
GUS hotel in this city. A good idea. If
there is any thing that Anderson needs
badly, it is comfortable hotel building.
If some prominent man would take the
matter in hand, we believe he ecould soon
organize company with sufficient capi-
tai to erect q suitable building. Let us
wake up from our lethargy and display a
little more enterprise and progressive
ness. Such things build up place. An
derson is growing steadily, the Savannah
Valley Railroad will be completed in an
other year, and to meet the demands ofthe
increasing travel, we must and will have
big hotel. Who will take the lead in
this enterprise? This Fall would he the
most favorable time for organizing the
company.
