O UANO agents, merchants, a hotel keeper wh:o has outside business, and bloated bondhiolder's, are going to fur nish many of our farmers wit h fertili zers, &c., next year.

WE learn of a new candidate in Pickens for honorable mention. It is Mr. Boggs, Junior, who may some day follow in the footsteps of his., Lycur glan father. There is also another aspirant, in our town, for the councilman's chair. His efforts will be united with those of his father, Mr. Isaac Williams, in making Easley one of the grand distributing points of upper Carolina. WE say hurrah for the farmers who are honestly endeavoring to settle their just accounts. despite the evil teach ings which might have resulted from a grand mass meeting. Make an effort to pay up the merchants, f riends, so that you may live off of theh favor again next year. Remember those who have so kindly fed and clothed you, and who are willing to do it again if you will but treat them right.
