Miss Florence South daughter of Mr.. E.
w. South, of this city, died at the residence
of Mr.. Solomon Geer, in Broadway town
ship, on last Monday evening, aged about
q years. She was a member of the Pres
byterian Church in this city, and her re-
mains were inferred in the cemetery OF that
Church on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. D. e..
Frierson, D. D., conducting the funeral
services.
Mrs. Mary Hinton, Of Garvin township,
was bitten one day last week by dog sup
posed to be mad, which came into her yard
and seemed disposed to bite little chiid'
but upon being interfered with by her
seized her, inhicting painful wound upon
the ankle, which it is feared may prove Sc
rious. The dog afterwards bit several dogs
before be was killed. Another rabid dog
was killed in the same neighborhood by
Mr.. James A. Carson on last Friday.
There is considerable excitement over the
subject in the neighborbood, and it is feared
that quite number of dogs have been Bit
ten. In consequence of this several dogs
have already been killed in that vicinity,
and it is quite probable that others will be
put out cf the way of doing harm in the
same way.
The Atlanta Constitution, Of last Sunday,
contained an illustration and description Of
the Gate City Bank building, which was
recently completed. Our young friend, ].
P. Reed, Esq, has his office in this build
ing, and the Constitution, in giving short
sketch of the occupants, has this to say
about him: ..'Mr. Reed has only been in
Atlanta few months, coming here from
Anderson, s. c., his old home. He is very
nicely situated in room number 80, having
his Office elegantly furnished. His library
is one Of the most valuable in the State,
which he inherited from his father. It
contains several hundred volumes, many Of
which are rare copies of books long gone
|!out of print. He has copy OF Coke on
Littleton, published in 1870, the value Of
which is hard to estimate, being worth
probably $4O0. This IS only one of great
many such works Mr.. Reed has of equally
rare value. He is a young man of excep-
tionally fine address, coupled with strong
intelligence, and is destined to build up
fine practice" :"
An election was held in theseveral town
ships along the line of the Savannah Val
ley Railroad in Abbeville County last Sat
urday on the question Of making another
subscription, aggregating $4,000, for the
purpose of completing the said Road. The
following is the result in the various town
ships: Lowndesville-199 yeas, nays;
Magnolia yeas, % nays; Calhoun
l91 yeas, 45 nays; Bordeaux-lOO yeas, 81
nays. This result insures the completion
of the Road from Lowndesv;lle to McCor-
nlack's. 1t now devolves upon the town
ships interested in Anderson County to de-
eide what we will do. The friends of the
enterprise are now more hopeful than ever
before, and if the townships in Anderson
County will only do their duty it will not
be many months before the trains will be
running through their sections. Every
body should 60 to work in earnest now,
and not stop until the last rail has been laid
and the last spike driven on this important
commercial highway.
