| Ida two weeks ago, mas declded TO Decome
citizen of that State, and will not return
to Anderson. He will settle at Ocala, and
his family left on Tuesday to join him
there. He has rendered his resignation to
the City Council as Chief OF Police, and
his successor will be elected tomorrow.
Mr.. FAINT has been member of the police
force for number of years, and was
most efficient officer. We regret to see
him leave Anderson.
Several of our citizens went over to
Greenville last Thursday to hear Rev.
Sam Jones's lecture. They speak in the
highest terms OF the lecture, and say it
was worth going twice the distance to
hear. Before leaving Greenville they had
an interview with the great Georgian,
who promises to visit Anderson on the
2lst of April and deliver lecture. Our
people will be delighted to hear this, and
when he comes he will be greeted by a
very large audience. Further particulars
will be given later on.
The Greenville News, of Tuesday, says :
1" Malcolm Erwin, owner of the well
known Erwin's Mills in Laurens county,
about three miles below Triangle, died at
his home Sunday, aged about fifty years.
He was buried at Honea Path yesterday.
His wife and four children survive him.
The deceased was native Of Ireland, and
q staunch and valuable citizen of his
adopted country. he was man of con-
siderable wealth and Of great usefulness,
and one whose death will fall as a severe
loss upon his neighborhood and his coun-
ity.D
a new schedule went into effect on the
SaYannah Valley Railroad last Sunday.
The train which has been arriving here at
10. 10 g. m. and returning to Mccormick
at 2.40 p. IN. has been taken oil. The
other train now arrives from Mccormick.
at 2.15 D. m. and returns Immediately.
This schedule is only temporary, and it
will be changed again in few days. Du-
ring the summer season the business OF
the Road will only justify the manage
Sment to run one train day, but it is the
intention of superintend dent Starr, to run
this train 80 as to suit the business inter-
iests Of And erson.
Messrs. B. f. Crayton and G. Wardlaw,
in company with some school boys, went
up on the six-and- Twenty last Saturday
to join Mr.. John L. Jolly and others In
rabbit hunt. They report very pleasant
trip. Mr.. Jolly's "Beagles'' were the
only dogs that were allowed in the hunt.
He has five and his neighbor two, making
a pack of seven. We had an invitation to
join in the sport, but to our great regret
we had to decline. The party dined with
Mrs. Reeves and Mr.. Joseph Douthit, part
going to one Of these places and the bal
ance going to the other, at both Of which
places they had an elegant dinner. That
is a good community, and those who live
there know how to make people enjoy
themselves.
With the approach offspring everything
in. nature assumes its gay plumage, and
1t is natural that the people, too, should
have a desire for the new and beautiful.
Anticipating this Messrs. G. F. Jones &
Co, with their usual good taste and judg-
ment, have laid in store one of the larg-
est and prettiest stocks Of spring and
summer goods they have ever shown in
Anderson, and the trading public would
do well to inspect it before making
parchases elsewhere. This firm is COM
posed Of live business men,, and they
know exactly when, what and how to buy.
They handle nothing but the best quality
ofgoods, and arealways prepared to meet
all honest competition in prices. No one
can afford to purchase spring goods before 4
looking through their splendid stock.
