S Mr.J. L. Hughey, of Greenwood, s. c.,
will be In the city Tuesday, the 29th 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-
ty, except Broadway, Centerville, Rock
Mills, Ropewell and Dark Corner. Mr..
>Hughey is a 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.. Rughey's level
before leaving town.

The Abbeville Medium, flest week, says
stJames H.. Simpson went up to Anderson
last week and while in that cheap market
bought claW-hammer paving fifty cents.
In Abbeville he could have bought one for
twenty-five cents or common ham mer
for ten cents.n We will venture the asscr-
ton that the Same sort of hammer Mr..
Simpson purchased in Anderson CAN'T be
purchased in the village of Abbeville, for
the reason that her merchants do not keep
them In stock, and if they did they could
not sell it for less than rs cents. II the
Medium editor can buy the same hammer
at Is cents, he ought to buy a car load and
60 on the road at once, for it will pay him
q better profit than his paper.
John Robinson's Circus last Tuesday
seen within the limits Of Anderson. Va
rious estimates have been made as to the
number, and ne think we can be safe in
saving 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 ell of
our neighboring Counties and across the
Savannah from several Counties in Geor-
gia, and by II o'clock the Court House
Square and streets leading thereto were q
moving mass of humanity, of both white
and black, both sexes and of sll sizes and
ages, from the sucking babe to the gray
haired octogcnarian. It was half-past Il
o'clock when the street parade took place
and it was followed by mass Of people te
the show grounds, which were located on
West Market street. in the rear of Col. j
D. Maxwell's residence. The day was 8
most beautiful one, but the dust | the
dust lit was almost suffocating On the
grounds there was 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 short time it vas crowded to it!
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 large racing track around them
and for two hours every ones eyes were
trying to see what was being done in all o
the rings at the same time. The perform
ance throughout was very good. Many
new features were introduced, and tn,
trapeze and acrobatic features, riding
ETC., were far ahead of the average circus
OF course, John Lowlow, the celebrated
clown, added much to the merriment o
the Crowd Notwithstanding the large
crowd, good order prevailed Throughout
the day, which speaks we'll for this sec

The death of Mr.. Thomas S. Crayton
which occurred at his home in Pendletot
last Friday, 18th inst, at 2 O'Clock, caused
