Anderson has certainly enjoyed q boom

Anderson has certainly enjoyed boom
that n8s other town or city in this State
has for long time, and while re rejoice
in our prosperity We are anxious about
the future. Shall We rest under the shades
after this toll is over, or shall we gird
our loins and go forth with renewed zeal
Let us cast a wistful eye in the dark mys.
teries Of the future, and, with every hand
to the wheel, make a united effort for q
continuous prosperity.
Rev. John T. McBryde, of Marshall,
Texas, who is now visiting his mother at
Pendleton, spent Tuesday in the city, and
was warmly greeted by many old friends
Mr.. McBryde is a native Of Anderson
County, and during the war was one oi
the brave soldiers of Orr's Regiment, the
reunion of which he attended yesterday at
Sandy Springs. In another column we
publish q short Renaissance from the
Abbeville Medium in reference to little
incident that happened at Spottsylvania.
Mr.. D. A. Shelton, who lives in Rock
Mills Township, is one of Anderson
County's best and most energetic young
farmers. Since he has been farming lie
has never purchased q bashel of corn, q
sack of -four or pound Of meat in fact,
has provisions to sell every year. There
are few farmers who can say this. Mr..
skelton says it costs him twelve hundred
dollars to make one thousand dollars
worth of cotton. He has enough wheat
and corn on hand now to do him another
year. We wish Anderson County had
several thousand such farmers as he.
Mr.. R. s. Hill has leased the two hand
some and commodious storer ooms in the
Masonic Temple and will move into them
about the 1st September, or as soon as
they are completed. One room will be de.
| voted to groceries and plantation supplies,
and the other to dry goods, millinery,
etc. This fall and winter Mr.. Hill will
carry larger stock than ever before, and
will be better prepared in his new quarters
to meet the demands of. the trade. By
reference to his new advertisement it will
be seen that he wants to get rid Of his
present stock, and for the next few weeks
will offer rare bargains to his customers.
Pay him visit at once, and don't forget
that after LIST September he will be in the
Masonic Temple.
The Elberton (Ga.) Star, of last week,
says: "a prominent and well-known
| gentleman Of Gilbert County asks us who
are the gentlemen named Earle and Whit
ner, Of Andersonville, who took such q
prominent part in the recent Grady de-.
monstration in that place. he says these
are the names of prominent old Carolina
families, and he wishes to know If these
gentlemen are representatives of them"
The Star can inform the gentleman that
the gen tlemen alluded to are sons of
prominent old Carolinians. Maj. Whitner
isason Of Judge 7. NJ Whitner, who, in his
day, ranked among our ablest jurists.
Mr.. Earle is son of Mr.. Elias Earle who,
prior to the war was one of the most in
tluential and wealthiest citizens of the old
Palmetto State.
Rev. P. ;. Yermillion has just closed q
very interesting apd successful tsn-days'
meeting at Reayerdam Church, in Will
liamston Township. Much interest was
| manifested in the meeting, and large
crowd attended the services. Mr.. Yer
million is a young man and has not yet
finished his studies in Furman Univer-
sity. He breaches In very plain, practi-
cal manner, and gives promise of being a
most valiant worker in the Masters Vine
yard. During the night services of this
meeting there we're many mean little acts
committed, such as cutting up harness
and whips, loosing horses, and taking off
taps from the buggy wheels. The officers
of the Church have the names of the
young men who did this mischief, and
are seriously thinking of prosecuting
them. Young men who commit such acts
ko1ght to be punished.
The Saluda Baptist Association con-
vened with Dorchester Church, near Bel
ton, on Tuesday. 9Th inst, and continued
in session through Thursday. The body
is composed of thirty-two Churches, and,
with two exceptions, all were represented
by delegates. The old officers were re-
elected, as follows: Moderator, Rev. J. s.
Murray; Clerk, Rev. NJ. McGee; Assis.
tant Clerk, DR.. John A. Robinson.
These officers have faithfully served the
Association in their respective Offices for
ten years. The sessions were exceedingly
interesting, but no business of very great
importance was transacted. The reports
of the various committees were encourag-
ing. During the meeting several able and
interesting sermons were preached. Be.
fore the Association adjourned there was
a spm of 81 500 subscribed by the dele
gates present for the permanent endow.
