The city fathers met last Monday night
to elect a policeman to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Mr.. John D. Da
yid. The lat of applicants was long one.
Mr.. w. B. King was the successful candi-
date. Mr.. King has had much experience
in this Office and will doubtless make a
good officer. He had many friends who
were glad TO know that he had been re.
insta.ed to his old position. The "gro.
cery" in "Happy Hollow" is now closed.
The "Blg Groceryman' has been meta.
morphosed into the "Big Policeman"
And he is happy.

Mr.. J. ID. Redwine, chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners of Hall
County, Ga, was in the city last Friday,
and we had pleasant call from him.
Mr.. Redwins is an old newspaper man,
having edited the Gainesville (Ga Eagle

the Anderson County farm and homo for
the poor and afflicted of our County had
reached his ears and he came over to see 1t
was in the hands of Chairman McGill,
who, in his usual kind and courteous
manner, took him to the farm and gave
him all the information possible. OF
course be was more thsn pleased with the
institution, al every stranger who visits

Late Saturday afternoon a negro girl,
about 10 years Of age, Was accid entally
shot and instantly killed by negro boy
Of the same age. It happened on Mr.. j.
s. Fowler's place, in Centerville Town
ship. Coroner Nance went out there Sun.
day morning and held an inquest. From
the testimony heard at the inquest, 1t
seems the children were alone In the
house. The boy picked up gun aud
went out in the yarG to shoot bird.
The girl followed him. The boy cooked
the gun but did not FIRE it. AS he was in
the act of letting the hammer down, the
girl walked in front of him and the ham
mer slipped, and the whole load of shot
entered her side, making terrible
wound.

Methodist Church in this city, will preach
his farewell sermon next Sunday morn.
ing. he has served the Church here four
years, and, under the rules of the Confer

During Mr.. Smiths stay in Anderson be

Church, and has continued to grow
stronger in the love and esteem of not only
his own congregation but Of our whole
people, who reget to see him leave Ander-

family circle he is most congenial com.
panion. He never fails TO make friend

men especially are always delighted to

The Hartman (Tenn.) Daily Advance
seems to be confident of the success of the
Hartman & Port Royal Railroad, which
will follow the old Blue Ridge Route to
Wslhalla, thence to Anderson and on to
Port Royal. Here is what the Advance
says: Chairman is taking lively inter-
est in railroads just now, and several rail-
road builders are also taking lively in
terest in Hartman. This is desirable
point for business; we are in one OF the
great commercial pathways OF the coun-
try; this has long been q junction Of two
of the great railway systems of the South,
and it will be the crossing place for rail-
road lines uuartering the country. Rail-
road men build roads for the money there
is in them; to earn money they must
have freight and passenger traffic and a
manufacturing center like Hartman
affords both. Already this point is the
most important, measured by number of
passengers and amount Of freight handled,
anywhere on the Cincinnati Southern
between Cincinnati and Chattanooga.
And business is growing rapidly. Other
roads will come, and the thunder dragon
of progress will make musical the wild
canyon of the Big Emory. We shall have
the shortest roate to the sea in the Harri-
man & Port Royal, road that is certain
to be built and that will open to us vast
region Of diversified wealth. At recent
meeting of the directors Of the road the
following officers were elected: President,
A. e. P. Rockwell; Vice. President, James
Mcdowell; Secretary, Daniel Denny !;
Treasurer, j. D. Roberts; Manager, r. g..
