We are borne. at Gods commanding,
Nearer-closer to the landing,
Every day.

Wrung from hearts with anguish aching,
For the hearts Of some are breaking

Words of hope for the despaiiing,
And their troubles gladly sharing,
Give our souls a higher bearing,

Hits the Wrong Man.

EARLY BRANCH, October ga very
serious accident happened this morning
TO Mr.. William NJ. Stokes, eldest son Of
Gen. VIM. Stokes, of this place. The
following, in brief, are the circumstances
Several oiepredations had been perpetra-
ted on the store of Steinmeyer & Stokes,
and q gun had been "planted" in the
store in such way that a person passing
behind one of the counters would strike
with his foot string attached to the
trigger s.Dd discharge the gun. This
morning, Mr.. @. w. Ficken, the clerk of
the firm, had forgotten, on opening the
store, to detach the string, as usual, and
Mr. Stokes, who, with his cousin, DR..
John l.. Stokes, had gone down to the
store to transact little business before
breakfast, was passing behind the counter
to a showcase, his cousin, the Doctor,
being about six feet.in the rear of him,
when his left foot struck the string.
The gun was discharged and full load
of buckslaot literally tore away the pos.
terror muscles of the middle portion of
the right thigh. DIR. Stokes, as soon as
he realized the nature of the accident,
and fearing the severance of the femoral
artery, grasped his cousin round the
wounded leg and held him till assistance
reached them, when Mr.. Stokes was con-
veyed to his residence, and Drs. Greg
orie and Hutson promptly sentstor.
Although the wound is serious one,
yet the bone is uninjured, and amputa.
ton will be unnecessary. A long period
must necessarily elapse, however, before
Mr.. Stokes will be able to leave his
room.

A CARD.

WE would like to call to the attention
of the people of Anderson County few
Significant facts concerning the Drug
Store of HILL BROS, recently moved
from Broyles'; Building ON Main Street to
McCully's Corner on the Public Sqqare-
Smiths old stand.
In the first place these men endeavor,by
watching their business closely, 10 keep
always on hand such Drugs, Patent Med
icines, Lamps, and other articles in their
line, that'pafties wishing to come or send
to their Store for anything, not entirely
out of date, can always be. accommodated.
For instance the season for sowing wheat
is now upon US, and they have plenty of
Blue Stone for soaking it all; and so
when the bilious seasons come they have
always on hand plenteous supply of
Liver Regulators, Pills, &C., and in the
chillsaud fever time they double their
stock of Quinine and Chill Cures of all
kinds. And even so in the season when
"young mems fancies lightly turn, &C.,
that is, along about Christmas, you can
always find there what you want in the
way of beautiful Celluloid Sets, hand
some Dressing Cases, deliciously scented
md elegantly decorated Perfumed Bottles,
Ladies' Worl, Boxes, lovely Mirrors and
Fancy Articles of every description.
1t is true they keep stock of all these
things throughout the year, but they try
TO regulate the quantities to suit the
season for which they are particularly
adapted; antEwhie even in Spring and
Summer they keep their stock of Lamps
full, you will find that they have now on
band the largest and best selected stock
of Library, Extension, Stand and Hand
Lamps they have ever kept before-it is
really worth a walk over there to see the
display.
Another significant fact, is, that the
Junior partner, who is The; Druggist,
sleeps on the Public Square, in easy sac-
cess to those wishing Prescriptions or
Medicines prepared at night.
