Mr. John II. McGill, editor Of the Hart
well, Ga, Sur, spent last Saturday and
Sunday In the city, and of course our
sanctum was honored with the presence
OF MS handsome and genial countenance.
Mr. McGill publishes one Of the best
weeklies in Georgia. He is a native of
Anderson, and naturally hes tender
place in his heart for his old home. Time
has dealt gently with him, for he does
not look day older than when he first
learned the writer how to set type. His
many friends here were glad to shake his
hand, and regretted that his stay was so
brief Como again, Bro. Nc, and spend
several weeks with us.
The Anderson Democratic Club, No. /,
met pursuant to call by the Executive

in the absence of the presiding officers
Mr.. A. B. Towers was requested to pre-.
side. On motion of Maj. L. Il. Murray.
the Executive Committee was instructed
to prune the Club list by striking off the
names of all members who do not bona
jfdc belong to the Club, as requested by
the County Executive Committee. On

journed to meet on Friday afternoon, 10th

The citizens Of Anderson met in the
Court House last Friday afternoon and
elected delegates to represent them In the
Convention OF Stockholders of the Sa-
vannah Valley Railroad Company. which
met at Lowndesville on Wednesday, Isth
inst. Mayor Maxwell was called upon
to preside, and Mr.. J. Feaster Brown to
act as Secretary. The following gentle
men were elected delegates: Messrs. E.
B. Murray, W.. w. Humphreys, b. +.
Wilmer, p. X. McCully and DR.. s. NJ.
Orr. Subsequently the City Council ap.
pointed Messrs. s. Bleckley, r. L. Moor
head, w. s. Brown, J. NJ. Payne and L.
M. Rucker to represent the Council in
this meeting. There is no doubt, We
suppose. that the former officers of the
Road have been reelected for another
year. Their management of the affairs
Of the Company has been prudent and
successful, and they deserve the compli-
ment Of reelection, which they doubt
less received by, unanimous vote at the
meeting just held.
correspondent of the Seneca Free
Press, writing from Pendleton, says; "a
report, that seems we'll authenticated,
gays there Is project on foot to. erect ut
an early day largo and comrnodious ho-
tel at this place. Our town Is an excel
lent and cherished summer resort for the
people of the low country who wend
their way toward our saluhrious cline
during the warm season, and our present
hotel (although kept in princely style) Is
inadequate to accommodate the demand.
A number of applications for board was
received and refused by private families
here last summer, which proves very
oonclusiyely that .auch an investment
would be exceedingly lucrative.' Fen-
dleton, the alma mater Of soma of'the most
brilliant intellects that have ever adorned
the pages OF American history, should
arise from her lethargy !; and we know Of
nothing moro conducive. 20 this end than
the building Of Substantial hoteLh The
idea is In every wayfe 'ible. and we in.
dulge the hope that Ill be speedily
consummated."
The Sunday School Celebration in the
Methodist Churchilast Sunday afternoon
was an exceedingly interesting occasion.
