Anderson Letter.

Our town has used some paint this
spring and frightened up in spots. We
hope the ton or more that is needed will
soon be spread, and the town made
slightly to the numerous summer Wis
itors we are expecting from the hot
cities. We continue to merit common
dation for good behavior, the Mayor s
courtroom having been unused since
we last mentioned the subject.
Among our visitors we note Miss
Fanny N. Moon, an elegant and accom-
plished young lady from near Scots
vile, Va. She is visiting Mrs. Andrew
Jones, her cousin, in North Anderson.
Mr.. K. Il. Morris, of Huntington, a
civil engineer of the Ches. Il Ohio Ry.,
visited Col. Ashby Johnson last Satur-
day.

are boarding with Mr.. VIM. G. Miller.
They are here for the summer.
Mr.. j. A. Kilgour and wife, of Chi
cago. are boarding at the Anderson
House. The heat of the cities will soon
make many flee as birds to these noun

from two weeks visit to the country.
w. r. Burdett was on our streets
Tuesday.
Capt. Roberts reports himself in good
health, with plenty to eat and plenty

Rev. H. Mclaughlin baptized six per-
sons in the Greenbrier last Sabbath.
Did your readers ever hear of the ice
worm ? Well there is such an animal.
He is an inch or more long and looks
like cotton thread. He has developed
in the Ice cut from the Greenbrier river
last winter TO the great annoyance of
those who filled their ice houses from
that stream. AS soon as all the wat Ell
from the ice melts they begin to die,
showing that their temperature must
not be over $50. have heard of them
in ice cut from ponds along the Ohio,
but had supposed the rapid Greenbrier
would be free from the pest. That the
germ is in the water is shown from the
fact that microscopic investigation does
not detect them in the ice taken from
Muddy creek.
Mr.. Jesse Arnott died at the residence
of Mr.. Jesse Jones on Wolf creek, on
Monday, aged 81. He died of throat
trouble, brought on by too sudden cool
ing off from the heat of exercise. Mr.
ArnOtt was native OF Centeryille,
Monroe county, and went West many
years ago, where he had at first the ex.
perience of great business prosperity
and in later years that of considerable
adversely. He was engaged i'm the liv
cry business at the time of President
Lincoln's burial, and, as undertaken
had charge of his burial. He was in
good health to within few hours of his
death. His remains will be taken tt
st. Louis for interment, that being hi:
place of residence.
Mr.. Everett b. Miller, who is can
didate for Assessor of the Lower dis
trict Of Greenbrier, complains that par
ties are representing him as unqualified

disqualification mentally, morally OF
physically those who know him bes
