This paragraph from an exchange con-
tains good deal Of wisdom presented in
very effective manner. 1t says:
"Young man, it is a good thing to keep on
the right side Of your dollar. 1t makes
great difference in your comfort and pros.
perity whether you spend 95 per cent. or
100 per cent Of it, but it is a positive insult
to the dollar to spend lo5 per cent. of it.
You will be sorry enough for it when the
dollar gets fair grip upon you. A dollar
represents a mortgage upon itself. 1t
will never serve you cheerfully if you
dispose of 1t before you get it."
Messrs. Means g. MCGEE have ordered
very pretty uniform for the Young
America Cornet Band, and it is expected
to arrive in few days. The uniform will
consist of blue flannel suits, with brass
buttons, and caps to match. The Young
America has devoted the Winter months
to practice, and are now ready to make
engagements to render music at any place
on any occasion during the Summer.
They furnish excellent music, and their
terms are very reasonable. Persons de-
string to engage the services of the Band
should address Col: J.. W. Trowbridge,
this city.
The coming event in the way Of amuse.
ments will be the production of the opera
"Mikado," by a number of our young
ladies and gentlemen next Tuesday even
ing in the Masonic Hall. The Company
has been rehearsing the opera for
month or more, and it is safe to predict
that it will be rendered in excellent style.
The Company embraces about fifteen per-
sons, and includes tho best voices in the
city. The opera is exceedingly interest
ing, and those who attend may rest as
sured that they will be highly entertain
ed. The proceeds of the entertainment
will be donated to the building fund OF
the new Methodist Church. The young
ladies and gentlemen engaged in the
opera have spared neither time nor ex-
pense in getting it up, and we bespeak for
them crowded house. Tickets will be
on sale at Hill Bros. drug store on Mon
day and Tuesday. The admission price
is 75 cents, with no extra charge for re-
served seats.
Last Friday evening the fifteen dele
gates. representing the three Fire Compa-
nies in the city, met in the Pioneers Hall
for the purpose of electing Chief, an AS.
sistant Chief and Secretary and Treasu-
rer of the Anderson Fire Department.
The City Council had given the Compa-
nies this privilege, reserving the right to
either reject or confirm the gentlemen
selected for the positions. The election
had been talked of among the Firemen
for several days prior, and considerable
interest had been aroused among them in
regard to it, especially in the selection OF
Chief. When the delegations assembled,
Mr.. q. NJ. Tolly, Of the Hook and Ladder
Company, was called to the chair, and
Mr.. j. NJ. Cathcart, of the Pioneers, re-
quested to act as Secretary. Nominations
for Chief being declared in order, DR.. r.
F. Diver and Mr.. A. w. Todd were nom-
mated. A ballot was ordered and DR..
Diver declared elected, he having re-
ceived eight votes and Mr.. Todd seven.
Mr.. John O'Donnell was then elected AS
sistant Chief, and Mr.. j. M. Cathcart Sec
retary and Treasurer. The Council met
on Saturday and confirmed these gentle
men, who will make most efficient Off
