Roberts NaTa,

The entertainment announced to be held
at Williford's Store was broken up on &C.
count of the severe weather. The fresh
oysters came just the same, and, as they
had to be disposed of, a small party assem-
bled at Capt. Gilmer's and began the very
pleasant task by putting Mr.. T. W. Norris
and Prof. Willis to preparing the same.
This they did in good style, and in a short
time we were called to the dining-room to
partake of q bountiful feast, such as turkey,
cake, chicken, oysters, coffee, and other
things too numerous to mention. After
the supper we were given soue splendid
music by Prof. Willis. The next thing in
order was to increase Toms cash, which,
I am glad to say, was cheerfully done.
We are satisfied that all present apprecia.
ted the hospitable treatment shown them
by Capt. Gilmer and family. We hope In
the near future to give an entertainment,
and trust the weather will be more faVora-

Cadet Il. H. Harvin, of Clarendon
County, died at the Patrick Military
institute, in this city, last Thursday
night. about II O'clock, after an illness Of
only about iorty-eight hours of peritonitis.
He was about 10 years of age, and most
highly esteemed by his fellow Cadets, all
of whom were greatly shocked at the au-
nouncement of his death. He suffered
intensely during his brief illness, and
Col. Patrick did everything possible to
alleviate his sutterings. His brother,
Mr.. S. A. Harvin, a former Cadet of the
Institute, reached his bedside few hours
before he passed away. The young man
realized his condition, and few hours
before he died he offered up most beau
tiful and appropriate prayer to God. On
Friday morning the remains were taken
home in charge of the detail, being es.
corted to the O. S G. depot by the 1nsti.
tnte battalion.

AS has been stated the new schedule of
the cannon ball express train on the G. &

The train will leave Columbia at 6.20
q. m. and arrive at Anderson at 11.35.
Returning, it will leave Anderson
at 3.45 p. m. and arrive IN Colum-
bia at o'clock. 1t is proposed, We
understand, to run this train through
from Columbia to Greenyllle, and to have
the Blue Ridge train stop at Bolton and
return to Anderson. With the exception
Of this latter change, our people are very
much pleased with the new schedule.
through to Anderson and let the Blue
Ridge train 70 on through to Greenville,
as heretofore. This would obviats the ne
cessity OF making SO many transfers at
Bolton, l:,r Se are told by the Conductors
that rppre people nse the accommodation
train coming to Anderson than they do in
the direction Of Greenville, and a large
portion Of the passengers are women and
CHILDREN, 10 whom transfer is always
more incon venient than to male travellers.
We hope the authorities will reconsider
this action and let the Columbia train run
through to Anderson.
Rev. James G. Furman, D. D., died last
Tuesday morning at his home near the city
of Greenville, in the S2nd year of his age.
This will be read with spirit of deep re.
gret by all who knew him. lie began
preaching more than sixty years ago. He
was educated at the Charleston College,
and afterward took course Of study in the
Theological School al Sumter, and was
consequently thoroughly prepared for the
great work of the Master, so far as educa-
tion is a preparation. His first pastoral
charge vas at Camden. He was member
of the faculty Of the Furman Theological
Institution in Fairfield County for several
years, until he was sent out in lS49 by the
Baptists of the State to select location for
similar institution, but on larger scale.
He selected the present site of Furman
University, and as soon as the buildings
were erected was elected Chairman of the
faculty Of that institution, and remained
in that position with the change from the
Theological Seminary to Furman Univer-
sity, until 1851, at which time, On account
Of his age, he resigned. However, he still
remained an instructor in the University.
He was several times elected President OF
the Baptist State Convention of this State.
He was also connected with, and held inn
portant places in the Southern Baptist
Convention. DR.. Furman was well
known and greatly loved and admired by
the PEOPLE of Anderson and Anderson
County. How well do we remember the
very earnest and impressive sermon he
preached during his last visit here, and his
very touching appeal to those out OF
Christ.

Mr.. F. II. Wells, representing the Amer
lean Road Machine Company, was in An
derson last week and succeeded in selling
the City Council Champion Road Ma
chine and large surface Roller, both Of
which will be used in working the streets.
The Machine is recommended very highly
for building streets, leveling rough
ground, shaping cutters, drifting dirt and
filling in rough places, and saves great
deal of labor. The machine is expected
to arrive in about two weeks, and if it
does not prove satisfactory upon trial, the
Council need not take it.

The Leading Prizes Come to the
united State.
In the Quecn's last word contest, DR..
Edmund T. Stevens, OF Buffalo, N. Y,
won the first prize OF free tripp to
Europe and 5000 in cash, and Annie B.
Turner OF Deposit, N. Y, secured the
special prize OF a handsome Shetland
pony.
The publishers Of this well-known mag
azine have decided to offer one more
competition, and to the persons sending
them the largest lists OF English words
(of not less four letters) constructed
from letters contained in the three

relatives whether from sickness or not
say. There is no doubt but that
the republicans would give it that color
were itpossib'e, thereby seeking to throw
a cloud over the fair name OF our young
party-but then, republican journals
are nothing, nowadays, if not sensa-
tional.
The senatorial situation OF late has as
sumed more OF definite shape than at
any time heretofore. The republicans,
following the leadership Of the indepen-
dents, have adopted the same tactics
OF putting up first this man and then
that one, in the hope that they may
find some one whom the other parties
may be satisfied with. In this manner
Moody and Melville have been put up
and Friday the name OF Hon. Thomas
Stirling, OF Redfeld, was placed on the
roll OF honor, but the honor thus iarhas
proven to be an empty one and no new
developments were broughtabout. Kyle,
of the independent forces, holds his own,
but will hardly be able to reach theaoal.
1t is quietly rumored about, now that
if ifCampbell had tile full vote OF ths indie
.pendents once more, enough republicans
would swing over to HIM to elect HIM.
Whether or not this is true remains yet
to be developed, but in any event it has
a color Of truth from the fact that a
number OF the republicans have received
letters from their constituents asking
for this. The gentleman, ga Chestnut" /"
who received the vote OF Mr. Belknap
one day last week, is really very pop
ular candidate on all sides, and would
probably be elected by large majority
wore it not for the question OF his elligi-
bility. Tripp's forces broke on Friday
and seven OF them swung to Kyle, which
created considerable OF a sensation for a
time, but Saturdays vote showed no
material change, nor is it possible that
today's vote will be affected to any
great extent, so many OF the members
being absent.
M. A. Richards, of the Consolidated
Land and Irrigation company ofHuron,
will be very likely to get the appoint
ment as state engineer OF irrigation in a
few days. He is evidently well qualified
for the position, and is very amiable
gentleman withal. We should be pleased
to see him receive the appointment.
