The Reception at the Sewing Machine
Parlor Of Mr.. G. A. Reed on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of last week was
largely attended, and every one who went
there did not regret it, for there was on
exhibition the grandest display Of fancy
work ever seen in Anderson. Mr.. ii. G.
Lee, Of Atlanta, Ga, representing the
New Home Sewing Machine Company,
was present and executed some very
pretty work on the New Home Sewing
Machine. There were various fancy
articles, consisting OF pictures. curtains,
lambrequins. ETC., on exhibition, all of
which had been executed on the New
Home Sewing Machine without any
attachment. Some of the articles were
rare and unique, and one could hardly
believe that they were executed on sew
ing machine. !.
The Young America Cornet Band re-
turned home last Saturday, having spent

The Greenyille correspondent Of the
Charleston Sunday Ns,rs, under date of the
21st inst, says: "a new freight tariff
between spartanburg, Greenwood, Lau.
,rens, Anderson and Greenyille and Eas:
tern points and Charleston, was promul-
gated here to-day, and promises to cause
a mild and pleasant sensation by its pro-
nounced reduction in rates. The new
tariff goes into effect on Monday. The
T rate on frst-class freight is reduced eleven
cents q hundred. On bacon the reduction
Is three cents per one hundred, on grain
two cents, and on flour ten cents PEI
barrel. Other classes come down in pro-
portion. It is noted that reduction has
been made solely at points in this section
where the Richmond and Danvllle and
Georgia Central come together, and there
is a faint suspicion that 1t means war in
rates.
