hold of this city and borne away "a faith
ful wife and devoted mother in the per-
son of Mrs. Minnie Richey, wife of Mr..
Clarence G.. Richey, who died at the resi-
dence of Mr.. j. N. Watkins last Saturday
morning, after painful illness Of about
two weeks, aged SO years. Mrs. Richey
was Miss Ruddock, and a native of
Charleston. She had been resident OF
Anderson for number of years, and had
drawn around her very large circle OF
devoted friends, all Of whom feel sense
of personal bereavement in her death.
She was most excellent as well as q most
accomplished lady, and her sweet, gentle
disposition, with her many noble virtues,
always added sunshine and happiness
wherever she went. She was q model
Christian, and in the Church was ever
ready to do her duty. The heart-broken
husband and the three little children left
to cherish her memory have many SYM
pathizers in their bereavement. On Sun
day afternoon, at 4 o'clock, the remains
were laid to rest in the Presby yterian Gem
etery, Rev. DR.. Frierson conducting the
funeral services in the presence Of large
crowd of friends.
Mr.. James NJ. Sullivan, President Of
the Anderson Shoe and Leather Com
pany, returned last Monday from an ex-
tended trip up North In the interest OF the
Company. While gone he purchased all
the machinery necessary, of.the very best
grade and latest Improvements. The ca
pacity of the machinery purchased is 300
pairs day or more. This capacity can
be increased at very little expense to q
thousand pair day: Mr.. Sullivan was
very much encouraged by those engaged
in the same business up North, where
they have, disadvantages that We down
here would not have He also bought q
stock ofl.ather, &c. Mr.. Joseph Lac Chance,
of Camden. N. r., was engaged as Super
intendent, and came back with Mr.. Suni-
van. Mr.. LaChance is a man OF fifteen
years ex perience in the manufacturing of
shoes. He expresses himself as pleased
with Anderson aud the prospects of the
Company. Just as soon as the machinery
arrives and Is placed in position, the
work of manufacturing shoes will begin.
This will take about q month. AS soon
as possible the Company desires to en-
ploy several operatives, men, women,
boys and girls. Now would be good
time for some one TO begin an honorable
and profitable calling.
The young men are in earnest about the
Young Mems Christian Association, SO
are our business men. 1t is now settled
fact that they are to have house Of their
own. in which they can meet and enjoy
themselves, and improve themselves.
This fact is now assured by an actual sub
scription of over $1,000 to that purpose by
the people of Anderson. with Q reasonable
$4,000 more will be raised, making
$40 900 to be used for purchasing Y. NJ.
g. A.. building. No steps of progress more
gratifies us than this one, and from no
other investment of that amount will our
community derive greater benefit.
Give US young men well read In pure lit
erature, and properly trained in the en-
ioyment of themselves In innocent pleas
ure, thoroughly moral and upright, and
yor give us the best basis for genuine i'm
provement He Is most a man who does
most for man, and it ia conceded by all
that the proper care, protection and train
ing of the young, and especially the
Young men, is the greatest good that can
be done for man. A man is great or igno-
bic according to what he ia, and not ac-
cordipg to what he has. Consequent
ly we much prefer that our young
men should be great and noble, rather
than have great riches and be unworthy.
However, being great and noble only ln-
creases their capacity for the proper accu-
mutation of wealth. We repeat it is with
peculiar pleasure that we announce the
assured success of this undertaking. No
one who has son, or kinsmen, or friend
among the young men in and around An
derson should feel satisfied to not have q
part in the erection of this building. We
even 20 farther and say that no one who
feels deep interest in the young. men OF
Anderson, should let this undertaking be
completed without contributing to it.
Messrs VIM. Laughlin, r. s.. 4igon,
Ernest Cochran, John M. Hubbard, or
almost any one else, will receive contri-
buttons for this work.
