We have an abundance Of rain now:
When it first commenced we wero afraid
it would quit too soon, but now We are
afraid it will not quit soon enough. 1t is
natural for the farmers to feel uneasy, but
the farmers seem to haye more doubts and
fears than every other class together. We
were without rain five weeks. Early corn

prospects for an average yield are very
good yet. go

Just on the eve of starting he went to bid

declined to make it until he returned,
whereupon Ben. unpacked and says he
will have the promise before he goes, or
he will never see Texas. Cheer up, Ben.,

The Association at Cross Roads last
week was largely attended and most har.
monious throughout. The Introductory
sermon was preached by Rev. Mr.. Haw'
kins, young minister of much promise.
The good people of the Church and sur
rounding country certainly deserve credit
for the manner in which they entertained
the delegates and visitors present. The
Candidates were out in full force and, we
think, put in pretty good time.
We notice the Convention on the 4th
ult. endorsed D. X. Norris for Congress.
While we haven't anything to say detri-
mental to Col. Norris, we would be glad
to see the Democrats of Anderson County
cast their votes for Hon. E. B. Murray.
Mr.. Murray's record stands untarnished,
his ability is unquestioned, aud it is our
opinion that the person that falls to sup
port him is standing in his own light.
The rains have been bountitul in this
section for the past week. Crops of all
kinds are doing we'll. The potato crop
promises to be exceptionally fine.
Some of our people are topping their
cotton. It's mooted question whether it
pays or not, depending entirely on the
weather that follows.
DR.. r. G. Witherspoon received tele-
gram a few days ago from his fathers
family in Florida conveying the news OF

friends in this community who deeply
sympathize with his family in their be.
reavement.
Rev. w. H. King preached q good ser.
mon at Shiloh last Friday night. The

trust that revival of genuine religion will
be the result.

A New City Council.

The Democratic primary election for the
nomination ola Mayor aud six Aldermen
for the city of Anderson took place last
Thursday There was very little interest
manifested in the election and consequent.
ly small vote was polled. There were
two tickets in thetield for Aldermen, but
there was no opposition to Mr.. Toily as q
candidate for Mayor, and out of the 241
votes polled he received 237. The follow

ing of the Council, which will be held
this Thursday evening, when the elec-
ton Of Clerk and Treasurer and policemen
will be held. There are quite number
of applicants for these positions.
Mayor Tolly has served the city before
in the same capacity, and his administra.
tions were wise and conservative. He
has a good Council to back him, and we
believe they will continue to advance the
interests of our growing city with all the
energy possible, and administer its affairs
wisely, economically and carefully.
The retiring Mayor and Aldermen have
discharged their duties faithfully, and
have done much to keep Anderson on
the upward march. To their successors
they turn over about $4,000.

power that Church members were made
to stop, think and ask, am christian ?
The back.slider was made to repent and
come back to the Church and confess his
faults. Old men, with stubborn wills
were made to bow the knee, and ask,
what must do to be saved?
Yes, we had glorious meeting, and the
Church much revived with an addition Of
eight to their number. at the close OF
the service Bro. Smith was the recipient
Of valuable purse, presented to him by
the Church and congregation as token
of their appreciation for his services, and

we will make and exceeding good harvest.

not shed any. Corn is doing well and fod.

The kerosene oil can continues to do its
deadly work. An accidental burning on
Tuesday, the 5th, caused the death Of o
!colored child named Mary Parks. 1t hap
pened somewhat in this way: The father
and mother of the child went to preaching
on Tuesday evening and left three little
children at home. The Oldest was eleven
years. When dark came on the child
made an attempt to kindle O fire to make
light. She put some kinding over some
Goals that lay in the fire place, then got
the kerosene can and began to pour the oil
on. One of the other children said some
thing To her and she looked around to see
what was the matter, and while she was
standing thus The fire blazed up and run
ming back to the can caused an explosion.
The child's clothes were burned off of her.
She ran and got in tub Of water, then to
bed, and the skin stuck to the cover, leav-
ing large, raw places. On Wednesday the
child talked as if nothing was the matter.
She seemed to be unconscious of what she
said. She died Wednesday evening. On
Sunday, two days before, q visitor was
there and kindled fire that way, and
hence the child trying to initiate caused
