Last Friday afternoon we were treated
to ride by DR.. R. F. Diver on his
"Peerless" Traction Engine. The engine
was fired up at his shop, and went across
the Blue Ridge Yard, up by the Presby-
terian Church and down Whitner street
to the creek, thence back to the Square.
Going down the steep hill on Whitner
street, the Doctor stopped the engine sud
denly, showing us plainly that complete
control is always had over it. Coming
back up the hill, Master Paul Diver
took hold and successfully guided the en-
CINE, thus evincing that it is easily man
aged.

A correspondent Of the Seneca Free
Press, writing from Pendleton, says:
sWe are pleased to state Mrs. Hall, an
estimable duenna who resides near this
place, and who was quite severely hurt
by the recent cyclone, has recovered SO
as to be able to attend to her domestic
affairs" The same correspondent also
says: "The people of this vicinity were
very generous and kind to the poor un
fortunates who happened to reside in the
track of the recent fearful cyclone and
as it were with one simulta-
neous effort to provide shelter, food and
raiment for the homeless and destitute.
Ere four days had elapsed after the occur

houses were made habita-
BILE and the needy inmates made the hap
of many valuable donations
in the shape of money, furniture, food
and clothing"

The Easiey Messenger, of last week, says:
'"The action of Aiken and Edge6eld will
influence the vote along the whole route,
if each refuses to helpit. Easley, though
anxious to have another road, can not
build it by herself. That is most obvious.
But we tell you what she can do, she can
catch on to the Savannah Valley Rail-
road, aid in getting up boom and help
to extend that road from Anderson to
this place. We are glad to bo able to re-
port that work has been resumed on this
