= The following is taken from the Hartwell
Sun, one of the liyest and best weekly pa.
pers published in Georgia. It is edited by
John McGill, Esq, formerly of this place.
The people of Hart County are indebted to
him much more than they may suppose
for the progress and prosperity of their
community, and if they fail to give hirn
that liberal support and encouragement he
deserves, they thereby work against their
own.interests. If he should leave them it
would be hard to get another such editor:
son last Saturday afternoon the 'swe'
man of the Sun paid q visit to the city Of
Anderson for the first time in eight years,
returning Monday afternoon. To say that
we were amazed at the growth and pro-
gress of the city would be putting it mildly.
It eclipsed our brightest anticipations.
The streets were filed with bustling
crowd and every individual seemed to have
resolved himselfin into a hustler; and as
there were 300 bales of cotton sold there
Saturday it was not to be wondered at. All
of the stores were crowded with eager GUS
toners and the army Of clerks were kept in
trot. It was hard to realize that this
noisy city with its many magnificent new
buildings, constructed after the most artis-
tic modern architecture, and with its smart
business air, was once the sleepy old town
of our boy hood days. Ours was purely
a business trip, and it is not our purpose to
write up the town at this time. However
we will mention the fact that this, the
most progressive young city of the State,
has steam cotton factory in full blast,
with 300 operatives, and that their goods
rank A an iron foundry; ice factory;
water works, electric lights shoe factory,
&C., &c. and to cap it all, the most superb
hotel in the State, the "Chiquola," equal
to the Kimbnll OF Atlanta, in everything
except dimension. It is an ornament to
the city and monument to its enterprising,
public.spirited originators. Another new
enterprise now about to get under way is
q newspaper under the auspices of the
County Alliance, to be called "The Peoples
Advocate, F" name broad and comprehen.
siye enough to embrace every class and
calling. Anderson has already two well
conducted newspapers, the INTELLIaEN.
GER and the journal and the resources and
advantages of the city and surrounding
country will not lack for efficient and wide.
spread advertising. Our stay was rendered
extremely pleasant by the cordial greeting.
and open handed hospitality of many of
our old friends. Hurrah for Anderson -
may she 20 on prospering and to prosper.

Cotton cotton! cotton e! The fields
are just full Oft, and yet some think that
the crop will be rather short this year.
Everything is getting quiet now, since
politics have cooled of, and the campmeet-
ing at Sandy Springs has closed. By the
way, two Of our young men. on their way
to the campmeeting lastSunday morning,
lost silk umbrella between Pelzer and
Beaverdam Church, and that was not the
worst Of it; they were so bewildered about
1t that they just drove on, after it began to
rain, with a good blanket and oil.cloth in
the foot of the buggy, and didn't know it.
Won't the finder be kind enough to remove
that bewilderment by leaving the umbrella
with the Postmaster at Pelzer, or, If not
convenient, by dropping the Postmaster
card stating where it can be found. You
will be suitably rewarded.
Our young fIiend, W. H. Welhorn, who
