PendletOn Dots.

Everything is as quiet as ever here now.
Nothing has transpired worthy of men
ton during the past week, save the going
and coming of the Summer visitors, and
everyone talking about the progress at
Pendleton. Our merchants are all doing
thriving business, despite the scarcity
of money throughout the country. Pen
dleton is bound to grow. She cannot lie
almost idle always, and this fall when
money becomes little more plentiful,
she will begin to boom again. A weekly
newspaper, factories, hotels and other en-
terprises are being freely talked of by the
business men, and it seems that nothing
short of complete panic in money mat
ters will ever stop these new schemes.
Several new buildings are being built and
some of the old ones renovated and paint
ed again, which gives our town much
more attractive appearance. Pendleton
will yet be one of the leading places in the
State.
Pendleton would be greatly improved
if the men who had money to invest
would build several nice houses to rent
and sell. If this were the case, people
would move here from distance to settle
near Clemson, where their sons can come
home occasionally.
There was great deal of excitement
here last Friday night when the people
heard of the accident at Clemson College.
Fortunately, none of the Pendleton boys
were hurt, except Frank Sloan, who had
his face scratched and hard fall, which
somewhat bruised his head.
One of Major Smythe's fine horses ran
away last week, and, while running
through the ood, got hard lick on the
head, which instantly killed him.
J. E. Harper, of GreenYille, will open
his school here in the Male Academy on
September 5th.
Several burglaries have been committed
around here lately, and the people will do
we'll to keep an eye open for tho rascals
and give them warm reception with
powder and shot.
Mr.. o. II. P. Fant has sold his planta-
tation near here, on the Seneca River, to
gentleman living in Piedmont. He re-
ceived handsome price, which shows
that money can be found sometimes in
the country. Mr.. FAINT will probably
build here or else move to Seneca.
J. E. Wofford, of Flowery Branch, Ga,
has an application for the postofiCe here,
but it is needless to say that he will not
get it, as he is not resident Of Pendle-
ton.
G. G. Richey, of Seneca, was in town
last week.
Miss Mary Morris, of Anderson, is
