Anderson, we venture, has one OF the
most skilled photographers to be found In
the State. We allude to our clever friend,
Mr.. George Brown. He has kindly sent
us pack of beautiful visiting cards, with
our name, in full, written in several styles
upon them. The style and shape of the
letters are original and unique, and the
cards look as neat as those turned out
from the best printing press. The cards
are highly appreciated, and we tender Mr..
Brown our sincere t. anks for them.

The Walhalla Courier, of last week,
saws: "We saw gentleman from Clay
ton, Ca, on Tuesday morning, who in
formed us that Capt. Ham had reached
that point in securing the right of way OF
the Cumberland Valley and Unaka Rail-
road, and would in few days be engaged
in securing the right of way for said road
through Rabun County in the direction Of
Walhalla. The gentleman referred to
said to US he was certain that the road
was going to be built and that right speed
ily."
We invite your attention to the adver-
tisement of Mr.. W. A. Chapman, which
appears elsewhere. He is very anxious to
make room for his Spring stock, and if
you need any winter goods, now is your
chance to buy them. He is offering gen.
uine bargains in many fine goods, which
our readers should examine. Mr.. Chap
man carries nice stock and selects his
goods with great care, and will give you
as much for a dollar as any other man.
Read what he says, and don't fail to give
him call.
On Wednesday morning George Davis,
young negro man, met with most hor-
rible death on the Blue Ridge Railroad,
about three miles above the city. Davis
was in the employ of Section Master Rus
sell, and on Wednesday morning he, with
other hands, was coming down the road
on the Lever-car, and at the time of the
accident was engaged in propelling the
car. Suddenly the car struck stick of
wood, which was lying across the track,
and Davis was thrown directly under the
car, which ran over his head, crushing
his skull in frightful manner. The un-
fortunate man was placed on the car, and
by the time he reached the city he was
dead. Coroner Nance held an inquest,
and verdict was rendered in accordance
with the above facts. It is believed the
stick of wood was placed on the track pur-
posely. If this is true, the party who
placed it there should be ferreted out and
punished.
There is perhaps no person in this Sec
ton who enjoys hunting game more than
our young friend, James T. Roberts, OF
Williamson. Last Fall, after having en-
joyed a number of fox chases, catching
seventeen out of twenty foxes, some Of
which were the largest reds generally seen
in this country, Mf. Roberts sold his pack
of fifteen hounds to Mr.. E. w. Jester, pro.
prietor of the st. George Kennel in Della
ware. Mr.. Jester tried the dogs on sever
al chases. and was SO we'll pleased'with
his bargain, that he has recently presented
Mr.. Roberts with pair of thoroughbred
setter puppies, their pedigrees accompany
ing them. "Royal Gladstone" "Royal
Duke" "Countess' and other famous
dogs, all imported from England, are
mentioned in the pedigrees. Mr.. Roberts
is very proud of his present, and he has
reason to be, for he now owns the finest
pair of dogs, we venture, to bo found in
upper Carolina. The puppies sell in Del
aware at $50 each.
