Ibe condition of the cotton market In Greenville has been a source of much perplexity and annoyance to tbe meichants and business men, who are dissatisfied with tbe manner in which the' cotton trade has been handled, because there is little inducement for the farmers to market their cotton in this city. The buyers represent tbe mills In this vicinity, and there is no competition, In tbe market, as a price Is fixed each day, and all * ?mkotanaii oruHa io hniicht of that COHUU U1 ? ?. price. Tbe consequence of ibis arrangement bat been to destroy tbe market, and very little cotton has been brought bere this seaton. Twenty or thirty baleB a day Is about tbe average, and some farmers bave come to tbe olty with cotton only to turn away and seek another market. A prominent farmer who lives not far from Easley brought cotton here this week, and he hauled it back home, going to Easley with It. This market has been from one-fourth to one-balf cent below Easley, Orler's, Piedmont and Pelzer almost every day since tbe season was opened, whloh Is due to the fact that a uniform price was paid here wblie elsewhere tbe cotton Is graded, and only tbe highest figures are quoted where a comparison is made with Ureenvlll#. This condition of affairs was calculated to excite comment and promote action among tbe business men, wbo naturally do not wish any retrograde movement In the city, and tbe meetings beld this week show that they are In earnest about Instituting a change In plans and methods, so that the cotton market will keep pace with otner activities In the Mountain City, and tbe farmers will be offer ed Inducements to bring their coUod where the largest and most extensive stocks ol goods are to be fouDd In tbia section of tbe tate. Tbe prime movers In tbls eflort to chance conditions for tbe batter were careful and dlsereet in tbelr action, lor there la no disposition to conflict with the cottton mills, which are recognized as feeders to the trade ol this city. But tbe Interests of tbe merchants demand that the cotton market be revived, nod tbe farmers shall recognize tbe fact that Greenville can afford to pay as high prices for tbelr ootton and otber produce as any other market in this section, lor tbe merchants can be satisfied with nothing less. Their aim la not to Injure any one, but to repair damages already done to tbe trade of tbe city, and a united purpose will be fouod to exist which can overcome the apparent obstacle to tbe accomplishment of tbelr object.

For the past week or two mountain wagons have been supplying our people with apples. roe Dome raiitea suppiy w?o uaiuijr cuu^u . when our wants In this line were satisfied with the foreign raised. Some of our people, aa early In the week as Tuesday, began to go to AbDevllle that they might get a lull benefit 01 the Fair held at! that place, and every day afterwards too, aDd including Friday, others followed, so that from first to last, our town and section was well represented. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Turner, of ElbertOD,! were over for several days last week ut the home of Mr. C. H. Cllnkscales, father-in-law of the Urol named. The comparatively oool weather for the past few weeks,or something else, has quite noticeably decreased the sickness which has prevailed in this section since the beginning of the year. Our physicians say that they have never kDOwn a year when they were more constantly employed than this. Their rest days have been very few, and although their time has been so constantly spent in visiting the sick, yet, the sickness nas In the main been of light form, but very few deaths or serious rases. Prof. Clifford, the blind musician aod ballad singer, gave a vocal and magic lantern entertainment at the Kay House Wednesday night. Home of those who attended were well (?) pleased.

Daniel began a protracted meeting in Smyrna church, yesterday a week ago, with the 1130 a. m. service, and continued till Thursday night with two service" a day, one at 11.30 a. m., and the other at 7.15 p. in. He was Assisted by Rev. Foster Speer, both of whom gave to their hearers sermons abounding in the truths ol thegospol, which doubtless gave rise to earnest consideration. The congregations were by no means large; perhaps this was owing. In part to the busy ?eason. The first-named received a telegram kk...dmqo oucnlntf. savinsr that hlsaered moi h er, who lives In Laurens county was* very ill. He accordingly left, very early Friday mornlug lor bis home. He however returned Saturday and brought the sad Intelligence that bis loved one had passed away when he reached there. She was buried that evening and he came back the next day. The fall and winter months matrimonial campaign with us opened Wednesday about 1 p. m., by Dr. J. D. Wilson leading to the Hymenlai altar altar Miss Ella Sherard. The interesting e^eni took pUce near Moffatsvllle in Anderson county, Rev. R. Ligon officiating. Tbe attendants were Mr. R. H.

At the close of the ceremony a splendid dinner vras served; after which the bridal party boarded the C. & W. C. train for Mt..Carmei and theD by private conveyance to the home of Mr. Wm Wilson, father of the groom, where a recep Hon was given them. Dr. Wilson has been for sometime an able and successful practitioner of medicine in this place, and Is popular with all of our people. Miss Sherrard is pretty and accomplished, and has a bostof friends to congratulate her in her changed estate. The Doctor and bis bride upon tbelr return to their future honoe here to day will be most cordially welcomed. The tide has begun to flow In this Rectlon, and as to Just bow many of our marriageable people will be swept off by It, belore Its ebb In the spring, none can tell. The waves are said to be crowding, but not scaring, several others. More reports In the near future, perhaps. Several days ago, after a sometime absence, Miss Jennie Harper returned to her home In this place. Mrs. M. E. Latimer and her children left Friday lor her old home In Klngstree to spend some time. Heretofore there has been only a trl-weekly rural mall delivery route from this place. On and after the 2ud of December next there will be a dally mail, which will be of much satisfaction to the people In the country. Mr. W. W.Thompson Is most heartily congratulated in being appointed to the additional service required. Messrs. B. Boiln Alien, Herbert Brooks, Will Armstrong and Dr. T. O. KlrkpatricK, went to Abbeville Saturday, the last from there went to the Fair in Columbia. Dr. J. C. Harper, of Starr, came down several days ago to spend a few days with the family of Mr. E. W.

McCalia's, to attend the nuptials of Mr. Under, of Hartwell, and Miss McCalla, daughter of the exSenator, named above. From all of the accounts obtainable the late Fair at Abbeville wus au event In the history of the old county, which will not soon be forgotten. When ltlB remembered that that the time given for preparation for It after It was decided to have a Fair, was comparatively J IN(j o, we will m -1 i /S 1 lvionaay s saj and call and great deal, t and the trad< at $5.( A.nd as for B; 38Er8ti quite limited, it Is remarkable that in all of its appointments it was far beyond expectation. The management deserves great credit for the efforts put forth, which made of It bo complete u success. I It cannot be denied that upin the part, of the peop'e aenerally since the matter ot having a Fair was first mentioned (a silent to a considerable extent) an undere.ineut'of distrust, not alone as to the advisability of attempting in hold a Fair, but more especially has there beon a doubt as to the ability and willlngneHS of the people of the county to takean active interest In It,"as to induce them to lend their aid In iiccomplishlng tne purposes of such an underinklng.yet at the time appointed, through curiosity, perhaps, more than great expectations, ihere collected at Abbeville pprhaps ttie largest crowd pver assembled at that place. They went, they snw. and were conquered to chaneean old tlmcHxlom. The exnlblts?(th?-y would have been much better with more time in prepare tlieui) ?proved that the business interests cf our county were receiving their merited attention, and th? other attractions of the Fair were all that could be desired. At such times, too, hospitality plays a very lmportpnt part, for without it such gatherings would lose much of their popularity. Under this head all are very grateful for favors bestowed. Troupe.
