Be sure to read E. W. Brown d Sons
new advertisement. In addition to thei,
large stock of general merchandise, they
have in store a large lot of the Generostee
and Atlantic fertilizers, which they are
offering at very low prices. These fer
tilizers are among the best on the market
and our farmers should call on these
gentlemen and get their terms and prices
A correspondent of the Elberton, Ga,
Star has this to say ola young lady who
formerly resided in Anderson: "Misz
Alma Wicklife, the sweet songstress ol
North. East Georgia, entertained large
and select audience at the residence oi
Hon. A. O.. Harper on Monday evening,
Each song was heartily encored, and she
was voted the future prima donna Of the
South"
We had pleasant call last Friday from
Mr.. j. A. Groves, of st. Landry Parish,
Louisiana. He, accompanied by q
niece, was on his way to Florida, and
stopped over in Anderson to visit rela.
tives. He is now 81 years Of age, and still
retains much of his youthful vigor of both
mind and body. Mr. Groves is native
of Abbeville County, but left this County
when young man.
Rev. B. M. Pack and family, formerly
of this County, have moved to West Un.
ion. Mr.. Pack will preach at West Union
and Walhalla twice month, and will
continue to serve Salem Church in this
County. He called to see Us last Satur-
day, and says he is well pleased with his
new home. His congregations up there
gave him very warm reception in very
substantial manner.

discuss Harrison's Southern policy, but
we think it is to make out slate for the
upper Counties

The recent session of the Legislature
made some changes in the pension law,
and all the pensions heretofore allowed
by South Carolina have been cancelled or
revoked, and applicants must make new
applications, proof of disability, poverty,
&c. Under this new law, parties who
consider themselves entitled to pensions
will appear for examination before a
County Board of Examiners, which will
meet at the Court House Of each County,
and whatever applications these Boards
approve, are sent up to the State Board,
and, if there approved, the pensions are
allowed, and are payable in two semi
annual installments of fifteen dollars
each. 1t will probably be early spring
before any checks will reach the benef-
Charles. The County Pension boards will
consist of two x-Confederates soldiers
and one. .practicing physician to be ap-
pointed upon the recommendation OF the
several Senators.
