The progress of Anderson is unparalleled
in her history. The people are awakened
to their best interests, and are now most
urgently requested to completely remove
the cause of the misery and torture attend
ing the great life-eating monsters-Indi-
gestion, Dyspepsia-and all diseases of q
generally disordered stomach and liver, by
the use of Anti-1ndigestine Dyspepsine,
the great medicine, and recent development
of his power of mind, Dr.. Won Harrisope,

ening, the Club was greeted with fair au-
dience. The exercises were opened with q
piece of vocal music by all the members Of
the Club-"All to Christ I owe" The
first piece on the programme was Christ
mas Story by Mr.. J.W. Rothrock, which
was read in clear and distinct manner,
arousing our spirits for the reception of
things vet to come. Next, "Peter Sargum
in love, !" recited by Willie Welborn. Mu-
sic on harps. Next on the program ME was
charade-.'There is no rose without q
thorn" by Miss Lula Bowen, B. ]. Smith,
Miss Minnie Burriss and G. Stribling.
which was rendered in such style as would
have given credit to more experienced am
ateurs. Vocal music Next came ''Old
Sugars Courtship." By Dock Craig, which
created great deal of laughter, as well as
showing forth human nature. Music-"A
smile was all she gave me- by Miss Lula
Bowen. Then We had q discourse by a
colored man," by Henry Walker. Music
by S. A. BoWen-"Old black Joe" Both
OF the above were blacked and dressed in
most becoming style, and could not have
been better rendered by any one. Next
was piece read by Mrs. W. B: Quails. the
name Of which your reporter did not learn,
but suffice it to say it was well read, and
that it was full of many good illustrations
of human nature. Vocal muslc-'She is
gone" Next came "Girl's address to boys"
on harps, organ and violin. Next, recita-
ton by Miss Mamie Quails-"Lines on

have been surpassed by anything short of
professionals. Music on 'harps, violins
and organ. The President announced the
last piece-"The darkies' concert" which
was rendered in such q natural style that
had we known no better would have
thought them 'sure enough" darkies.
Now, summing it up as a whole, Mr.. Edi-
tor, we think you miss treat every time
you miss the entertainments given by this
Club The funds that are raised by this
Club are given to finish the school house at
Lebanon, which renders it more worthy of
patronage by the surrounding country.
They expect to give another entertainment
soon. No one need fear that it is not a
suitable place for them, for everything is
dong in decent and orderly way. w.

love to me. Since was in this place I
preached for the Rev. Mr.. Beard Is congre-

pie full Of the christians love. In my
Judgment believe the people Of And
are very social, both white and colorsd:.
I visited some of the business houses of
this place, and was well treated. also
visited the Book House of Messrs. FAINT d
Son, and they took great pleasure in allow.
ing me to examine their stock. I am
glad to see the sociability of the people.

c,o.,,c E.ercises OF a school.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t was our pleasure to
attend the closing exercises of Miss s. ].
NIcClain's School, in Fork Township,
September 1st, 1888.
The school could not use The arbor pro-
vided for the occasion, and had to look for
larger quarters, when Mrs. Sallie Cox
willingly give the use of her house, near
at hand
The exercises opened with song from
the school, which give us to understand
their musical education had not been neg
lected.
The speeches by the children were very
fine, and credit to themselves and
their worthy teacher.
So ended the morning exercises, and
brought dinner, which was spread out in
the hall, and all mado welcome.
The evening was spent in listening to
music by the school, with Miss Effie
Durham at the organ. Short and appro-
pirate addresses were also made by
Messrs. B. T. FELTON, and ]. r. Caldwell.
We extend our thanks to the ladies fof

Mrs. Rachel McFall died at the hom 6
of her son, Mr.. W. A. McFall, in this
County last Saturday morning after very
brief illness, Mrs. McFall had reached
the ripe old age of &c years, and had been
quite feeble for the past three years, but
was not confined to her bed only a few
hours before her death. She was the
relict of the late Andrew McFall, and was
well known throughout the County. She
has resided in our midst all her life, and
she has a host of friends and relatives
throughout the County who will regret to
hear of her death, for she was highly es.
teemed by every acquaintance. Mrs
McFall was from the days Of her sirlhood
faithful and jealous member of the
Presbyterian Church, and always illus
trated the virtues of a christian woman
hood. Amiable and devoted in her do
mestic relations, she was the light, the
comfort and the joy Of happy home.
She was always kind cheerful and chari-
table, and ever ready to assist the poor and
the distressed. Her remains were laid to
rest in the Presbyterian cemetery, in this
city, on Sunday afternoon, DR.. Frierson
conducting the funeral services. Her loved
ones weep not as those without hope, for
they know that their loss has been her
eternal gain.
The Work Of the Rains.
Anderson County has been wet for the
last Two weeks beyond all questioning.
There were about two weeks that we did
not have s'an unclouded' day. Every
stream has been full to overhowing, and
along Deep Creek and Seneca River i'm
menss damage has been done to the corn
crop. Mr.. Duck Bolt has lost about 1000
bushels of corn. Messrs. Robert Martin,
Thomas Shearer and others have also lost
heavily. Our public roads have been
washed very much, and those that were
fresh worked are left in worse 6x than be-
fore they we're worked.
The railroads in this section have been
washed and so Injured that no mails have
come for several days, except from toward
Atlanta, Ca There has been no train
over the Savannah Valley Railroad since
Monday. The train which left Anderson
that day is between two wasbouts, near
Little River, and consequently unable to
move out either way, It is not yet known
when the trains will begin to run on this
road. There has been but one through
train to Columbia over the G. & 6. R r.
since Wednesday of last week. There are
several washouts on the road, and the
trestle over Ninety-Six Creek is washed
away. It. is impossible to ascertain just
where and what the damages are. The
telegraph wires on both roads are down.
AS will be SEEN from another column,
Augusta, Ca, is under water.
We have been unable to getfull accounts
of the result of the rains, owing to the
failure of the mails. It is safe to say we
have had the greatest rain n-fall ever seen
here in two weeks.

We have had a long wet spell, which
has done considerable damage to the
crops. Cotton is injured by the bol]s that
were open sprouting and those just cracked
rotting. A large amount of fruit has also
been thrown off on account of 80 much
rain. Corn in low bottoms is almost
wholly destroyed, and large amount OF
fodder has been lost. We hear Of some
damage to bridges and mill-dams, viz !:
The bridge over Three and Twenty, near
the Earle place, washed away. The
bridge over Six and Twenty, near ]. w.
Majors, partly gone. The bridge over
Hembree creek, near j. Bolton Watson g,
washed down. also bridge on same creek,
near Walter Hembree's, abutment gone.
The ubutment of Mr.. T. r. Simpsons
