The entertainment to take place in the
p. MI. Chapel next Wednesday night for
the benefit Of the Library Association will
be an interesting one, and should have g
large audience. The programme will
open with a charming operetta, followed
by grand concert. rotations, vocal Ian
GERS, and conclude with AUD Lang
Synen in the singing OF which the audi
ence will be requested to join.
The Columbia Record says: "Mr. Eu-
gene Cramer, the efficient manager of our
0pera House has been engaged to paint
the scenery and attend to the fittings of
the new Opera House of Anderson, and
will enter upon the work at once. No bet
ter selection could have been made either
in the North or South, than Mr.. Cramer,
who is one of the very best scenics artist in
the country, and we feel sure they will
have q beautiful little theatre"
VIM. Giles, colored, of Pendleton, came
near being killed at the S. v. r. r. depot
last Tuesday. He was drunk, and had
walked in between the depot platform and
"a train of cars, which stood next to the
platform, when the cars moved and mash.
ed his body. Three ribs were broken, and
he is perhaps otherwise injured. He
received prompt attention from DR.. r. w.
Brown, and on Wednesday morning was
doing as we'll as could be expected.
Mr.. j. L. Hughey, of Greenwood, S. g.,
will be in the city Tuesday, the 10Th inst
in the interest of his new patent level.
He sold several months ago rights to sell
the level in all the townships in our coun-
Mills, Hopewell and Dark Corner. Mr..
<Hughey is q straightout Alliance man,
and is one of the most successful farmers
of Abbeville County. He was, until its
consolidation with the Farmers Alliance,
the leading spirit of the Greenwood
Grange. We hope those of our farmers
who have lands that are being washed
away will examine Mr.. Hughey's leve!
before leaving town.
The Greenville Enterprise and Mountain-
eer, of last week, says: "Mr. f. i. Nun
naly, who lives about eight miles from
this City in Anderson County, yesterday
informed us that on Friday night last two
men, Fred Nix and Bud Brooks, called at
his home and engaged him in conversa-
ton, and in few. minutes thereafter two
or three other men came in and all
together proceeded to tie him aud then
administer to him severe beating The
men were former friends, and he did not
once suspect they would thus treat him:
We have no doubt but that the atfair will
be- fully investigated in legal manner.
and those committing the outrage be Sc
verely punished. "
The Abbeville Medium, of last week, says: :
,"James 81. Simpson went up to Anderson
last week and while in that cheap market
bought claW-hammer paying fifty cents.
In Abbeville he could have bought one for
twenty-five cents or common hammer
for ten cents.n We will venture the asser-
ton. that the same sort of hammer Mr..
Simpson purchased in Anderson can't be
purchased in the village of Abbevil,e, for
the reason that her merchants do not keep
them in stock, and if they did they could
not sell it for less than Is cents. If the
Medium editor can buy the same hammer
at 25 cents, he ought to buy car load and
20 on the road at once, for it will pay him
q better profit than his paper.
John Robinson's Circus last Tuesday
attracted the largest crowd we have ever
seen within the limits OF Anderson. Va
rious estimates have been made as to the
number, and we think We can be safe in
saying that there were from twelve thous-
and to fifteen thousand visitors in the city.
Before daylight crowds of people began
to arrive in the city, not only from every
section of the County, but also from all OF
our neighboring Counties and across the
Savannah from several Counties in Geor.
gis, and by IL o'clock the Court House
Square and streets leading thereto were q
moving mass of humanity, of both white
aud black, both sexes and of all sizes and
ages: from the sucking babe to the gray
haired octogcnarian. It was halfpast ~
and it was followed by mass of people to
the show grounds, which were located on
West Market street. in the rear of Col. J.
D. Maxwell's g residence. The day was a
most beautiful one, but the dust the
dust lit was almost suffocating. On the
grounds there was a perfect jam, every one
seemingly wanting to enter the mammoth
tent at the same time. Upon entering. the
menagerie was the first | lie seen. The
collection was not large, but it contained
some excellent specimens and genuine
curiosities. From the menagerie the
crowd pushed its way into the circus tent,
aud In a short time it vas crowded to its
utmost seating capacity. Upon inquiry
Mr.. Lowlow told US there were between
five and six thousand persons witnessing
the performance. There were three rings,
with a large racing track around them,
and for two hours every ones eyes were
trying to see what was being done in all OF
the rings ut the same time. The perform
ance throughout was very good. Many
new features were introduced, and the
trapeze and acrobatic features, riding,
etc, were far ahead of the average circus.
Of course John Lowlow, the celebrated
clown, added much to the nerriment oi
the crowd. Notwithstanding the large
crowd, good order prevailed throughout
the day, which speaks well for this sec
ton.

which occurred at his home in Pendleton
