Mr.. j. T. Roberts last week shipped by
express twelve fox hounds to hunter IN
Colorado, for which he received S75, the
purchaser paying the express. Last year
Mr.. Roberts sold two dogs to Missouri
hunter, and he was so much pleased with
them that the late order was the result.
The Missouri hunter writes that in chase
his dogs often catch the grey fox, but that
invariably it is the dogs he bought from
Mr.. Roberts which catch the red fox. If
other hunters want dogs from this Coun-
ty, they can readily be supplied, and we
think Anderson world be considerably
ahead on the transaction.
In speaking of the work of the pick
pockets at the State Fair last week, the
Columbia Record says: "Mr. M. Erwin, OF
Honea Path, missed q small sum from his
trousers pocket. He turned and saw two
men, walked off, returned and made sey-
eral movements as if to see that the bal
ance of his money was secure. Presently
a man leaned on his shoulder, another
stood close in front of Mr.. Erwin, when
one of the thieves carelessly let scarf
fall over the supposed location of Mr..
Erwin's money. In moment or two
Mr.. E. felt one of the thieves in the act of
'unbuttoning his vest, when he turned
and seized the scoundrel. His confeder-
ate seized Mr.. Erwin, but the cry of 'po-
lice soon found thief number one in the
hands of the law"
We haye Just returned from q very
pleasant trip into Northeast Georgia, and
during our visit we spent two days in
Harmony Grove, one of the most pro-
gressive and prosperous towns in that Sec
tion of the Empire State. 1t is situated
on the Northeastern Railroad, which runs
from Athens to Lula, on the Air Line
Road, and is the centre of trade for the
four surrounding counties, handling from
ten to thirteen thousand bales of cotton
annually. The surrounding country is a
very fine farming section, and land is
comparatively cheap. Like everywhere
else in the South, however, the people
raise too much cotton. There are quite
number Of Carolinians in and around
Harmony Grove, and some Of them ma
tives of Anderson County. We met
number of the prominent business men
and citizens of the town, and we can say
unfeignedly that we have mover met a
more clever, sociable people. During our
stay in Harmony Grove we were guest
of the Bohannon House, which is under
the management of Mr.. Berry Bohannon,
q native of Anderson, who certainly
knows how to run hotel. His house is
recognized as one of the best hotels in the
State, and is most pleasant place to stop
of
