Said an old citizen the other day: "The
making Of the old.time gingercake is one
Of Che lost, arts, and 1t is rare for one made
like they were. before the war to be seen.
The gingercake business was considered
one of the best in the country. At sales,
court grounds and all public gatherings
the gingercake could be found, with a
glass Of corn beer thrown in. Those days,
however, are over, and now 1t is hard
matter to hear of, much less see, an old
time gingercake."

The Western o Union Telegraph Company
has secured control of the telegraph ays-
tenn of the PR. & VIC. r. r., the trans
fe. being made on the 1st August. Our
city needs and should have city Office,
located in the business part Of the city,
and our business men should make an ef.
fort to get it. We would auggest that the
Board of Trade petition the Western

cities noylarger than Anderson have q

Owing to the wet ;reather, many of our
wells have surface water in them. This Is
dangerous to health and life. A prudent
man will take the f>p,est number Of risks,
and will empty his well. Nearly all Of
our sickness is caused by poisonous well
water. As matter OF economy 1t is
cheaper to draw the water out Of the well
and to clean our premises than it Is to pay
doctors bills or funeral expenses. Our
life and our health are our richest estate,
therefore we should take proper care not
to tempt Providence to visit us in
"mysterious way"
The Westminster Banner, Of last week,
says: "'Dot,' the smart and sweet little
child, of Mr.. and Mrs. R. F. White, was
taken from them on last Thursday night
after brief sickness. She was a remark
ably bright child and was almost adored
by her fond parents. Rev. r. W. Barber
conducted the funeral services and she
Yves laid to rest in the cemetery at the old
Baptist Church on Friday afternoon. The
afflicted parents have the sympathy Of the
entire community" Mr.. and Mrs.
Whites Macy friends in Anderson
County will read the above with sadness.
