Mr.. VIM. ID. Broyles, who has been
spending several weeks in Anderson visit.
ing his brothers, left yesterday for bis
home in Alabama, near Columbus, Ga.
He says Anderson does more business for
its size than any other town or city he has
ever visited, and calls it q second Atlanta.
He predicts bright future for our live
city, and says no stranger can come here
and go away without being favorably Inn
pressed.
A few friends gathered at the home Of
Mr.. j. u. Snipes, on South Main street,
last Sunday morning, at $50 O'Clock. to
witness the marriage of bis second daugh-
ter, Miss Belle Snipes, to Mr.. j. Mac. Hall,
of Varennes Township. The ceremony
was beautif fully and impressively per-
formed by pev. O. L. Martin. The young
couple start out on life's journey with
bright and happy prospects, and we join
their friends ID hoping that it may ever
continue 30.
People who believe In signs will doubt
less find something new in the following:
It is unlucky to be struck by lightning on
Monday. To sit on circular saw in mo-
lion on Tuesday. To get. wet when you
fall overheard on Wednesday. To fall
down stairs with coal scuttle Of coal on
Thursday. To see tax collector over
your shoulder on Friday. To marry
girl who practices with ten pound dumb
bells. To be one of sixteen at the table on
Sunday when there is only food for six.
Tomorrow (Thursday) has been set
apart by the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church, South, as day Of
prayer especially for young men, and the
occasion will be observed by the Presby-
terians of this city. The prayer meeting
which is held regularly in the Church on
Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock will be
postponed until tomorrow evening, at
7:30 o'clock, when a special service for
young men will be held. Tue public,
and the young men Of the city especially,
are cordially invited to attend the service.
The game law as frequently amended
now stands as follows: It shall not be
lawful for any person in this State, be-
tween the LIST day Of April and the 1st day
of November in any year hereafter, to
catch, kill, or ipjure or to pursue with
such intent, or to sell or expose for sale,
any wild turkey, partridge, quail, wood

of March and the 1st day Of August, any
dove; or at any time during the year to
catch, kill or injure, or to pursue with such

On the night of January LIST Mr.. @. W.
fuckers dwelling house, in Hall Town
ship, was broken into during bis absence
and lot of things stolen therefrom. Last
week John Martin, negro, who was sus-
picioned as being the guilty party, was arr
ted it,
ted to Jail in this city. Monday Mr.
Tucker secured search warrant and
went down into Abbeville, where the me-
gro was arrested, and found a loS of the
stolen property. This establishes Mar.
tins guilt and he will go to the Psniten-
tisry at the June term Of Court.
Last Friday some miscreant threw a
rock into the passenger coach of the Sc
yannah Valley Railroad train as it was
running near Deans. This has happened
several times recently along the Road,
and distractions have also been placed
on the track. Superintendent Anderson
has written a letter 10 Sheriff Gaines
com planning of these lawless acts, and
offers a,reward Of $500 for the arrest
and conviction Of the guilty party or
parties, and the Sheriff is determined to
sea if the guilty parties can't be detected.
It may be that some thoughtless boys
are committing these acts, and the pa
rents OF such living along the Road
should see that it is stopped, as they will
surely get into trouble if they are de-
tected.
During the past year South Carolina
had no scholarship in the Peabody Nor
NAL College, at Nashville. This year she
will have twelve, which offers splendid
advantages for that number of young men
aud women to obtain an education. The
examination for these positions will be
held July ~, 1854, due notice of which
will be given by the Superintendent OF
Education with proper instructions. A
Peabody scholarship is worth Sl00 year
and the Students railroad fare from his
home to Nashville and return by the
most direct route, and is good for two
years. The college year consists Of eight
months, beginning on the first Wednes-
day in October and closing on the last
Wednesday in May, and scholarship stu.
dents receive from the President of the
college $25 on the last days of October,
December, February and April.
Gov. Tillman attended meeting Of the
Trustees at Clemson College last week.
On his way back to Celumbia Friday
morning, he was interviewed at the depot
by q leading Tillmanite of the city. In
speaking of the Dispensary the Governor
said Anderson would not receive another
id cent Of the profits that the city
was full of "blind tigers, and that the city
authorities were making NO effort to sup
press them; that these officials even pa
tronized the "blind tigers" and that he
could prove it on them. The Governor
also said that the drummers kept him
posted how things we're going on in this
city, as we'll as in other places. He stated
that some Of the best drummers on the
road were employed as secret spies, and
made their reports regularly to him. The
Tillmanite made the above statement in
and we presume will stick to them when
the Governor Is summoned to Anderson
to prove his assertions.
Mrs. Hollie smithson, wife of Mr.. w.
G. Smithsou, and second daughter of Mr..
w. T. w. Harrison, who lives near this
city. died at her home near Westminster,
s. G., last Saturday, after long and pain

many of her friends in this section, very

One of the most interesting cases before
