Adger & Co., Charleston, was in town last week, and honored the sanctum with his presence. Wm. S. Keese, another old resident of An? derson, gives us an occasional visit, and was here a few days ago. He represents the exten? sive house of A. C. & B. F. Wyly,. Atlanta,, and sells a large quantity of goods in this seGtion. J. T. McCarty, Esq., editor of the Elberton (Ga.) Gazette, was in our town on Friday last, and honored us with a brief visit. He says the Empire State is all right, politically and industrially speaking. Wm. F. Quincy, representing the establish? ment of Henry BischoIF& Co., Charleston, has been spending a few days in our midst. Quin? cy is the recognized commissary of subsistence fbr^his and adjoining States, and always keeps a full supply of provisions and things on hand for his customers. BRIEF MENTION. We return thanks to Mr. S. M. Orr for a copy of the Dublin "Nation." Mr. Orr is at present doing business in Springfield, Illinois. Splendid rains have visited various sections of our County in the last few days. The crops in this immediate vicinity, however, are need? ing rain badly. We are indebted to Mr. John T. Kay for a basket of fine apples from his excellent orchard. Our friend will accept many thanks for his kind attention. Mr. B. F. Wilson has removed his gun-shop to the small house on the hill between the res? idences of Mrs. Todd and Capt. Benson, where be will be prepared to do all kinds of work in his line. There was quite a pleasant pic nie at Keys' Spring on Saturday last.' Although only a small number were present, they enjoyed them? selves finely, and remained out until late in the evening. Carpenters are at work repairing and rem od- ! ellingthe interior of the store-room lately occu- j pied by Mrs. Dawson. It is to be connected with Fant & Bell's grocery store, and is intended for heavy groceries. Mr. C. A. Reed is building a carriage and buggy repository at the northeast corner of the Waverly House lot, near the railroad bridge, where he expects to keep carriages and buggies of all descriptions. We return thanks to Mr. S. S. Newell for a fine watermelon, which we received on Tuesday last and enjoyed very much. It was a rare kind known as the "Rattlesnake Watermel? on," the seed being purchased by him in Au? gusta last fall. A Dancing School has been opened in the Masonic Hall during the past week, under the management of Miss Rhett, an accomplished j teacher from the "City by the Sea." All par- j ties wishing to learn this graceful accomplish-1 ment can now be gratified. Miss Martha Lewis sends us a sample of ex? tra large peaches, luscious and ripe. Four weighed two and a half pounds. The variety is the Bordeaux, and the specimens uncommonly fine. Mr. P. K. McCully brings a peach weigh? ing twelve and a half ounces, the largest we have seen. We have received a note from Dr. J. W. Gurley, who is now sojourning in Atlanta, and will devote himself to the specialities of his profession. His successful treatment of various diseases of the Sye will give him a prominence in the Gate City, should he conclude to locate permanently. Dark Corner Tax Union was organized on Tuesday last, with a membership of fifty-two tax-payers, when the following officers were elected: Dr. J. H. Reid, President; D. E. Carlisle, Vice President; James A. Gray, Secretary; D. J. Shcrard, Treasurer. Exec? utive Gemmittee?David Sadler, John McCul lough, J..L. Bryant. Sullivan & Co. have improved their store? room considerably by having the ceiling paint? ed white and by erectiug a neat book-keeper's office, which adds greatly to the appearance of the interior. They have taken out the par? tition at the back part of the storeroom, thus making it one of the largest and most desira? ble in town. Go on with the improvements. All those who delight in music and pleasant entertainments, and who wish to aid in a praiseworthy undertaking should by all means attend the "Cantata" on Wednesday and Thurs? day evenings next. We feel confident in as? serting that all who attend will be highly pleased. Performances will commence at 8* o'clock. Tickets can be had at the Drugstores. A specimen of cotton known as the twin va nety was brought to the sanctum on Mondaj by Mr. H. P. Price, of Wilson's Creek. The seed were selected by Mr. Price from the Boyd Prolific grown by him for several years, and the formation of the squares and bolls is quite a novelty, there being two bolls produced by one square. Mr. Price thinks that other varieties are more desirable, since the bolls on this cot? ton are rather dwarfed in size. The ministers in charge of the several de? nominations iu town have agreed to invite the people generally to observe Friday, 14th of August, as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer, especially imploring the aid of Almigh? ty God for the conversion or the young people in our midst. We trust the announcement will be sufficient to induce all Christians to unite in the observance of the day. The programme will be found elsewhere in our columns. m- i? em-? NEW POST OFFICE. We understand that a new Tost office has been established on the route from this place to Ruckersville, Ga., to be known as Rocky River P. 0., and that Mr. A. M. Norris has been appointed Postmaster. This arrangement will afford a convenience which has been needed for a long time in that community. DELEGATES TO RAILROAD MEETING. At a meeting of the Town Council of Ander? son, held on the 1st of August, the following delegates were appointed to attend a meeting of the corporators of the North Georgia Rail? road Company, to be held at Carnesville, Ga., on the 4th inst., to wit: John R.

The citizens of Rock Mills township are re? quested to meet at Williford's Store on Satur? day next, 8th of August, at 10 o'clock a. m., to organize a Tax Union. SERIOUS ACCIDENT. We regret to learn that Mr. Themas Stacks, residiug about two miles southeast of Moun? tain Creek, met with a serious accident on Monday last. It seems that Mr. Stacks was engaged in felling a tree, which in its fall lodged against another close by. He then commenced to cut down the latter, and when it began to totter, gave a finishing blow, but only one corner of the axe struck the tree and glanced off, striking him on the leg, below the knee, cutting nearly half through the main bone, the force of the blow breaking the re? maining portion. A surgeon was soon called and the bone set, and at last accounts he was doing well. PUBLIC SPEAKING AND PIC NICS. Mr. John M. Glenn, of the Committee of Arrangements, informs us that Slabtown Grange, No. 141, proposes to have public speaking and a pic nie dinner on the 18th of August, at their regular place of meeting, Slab town Academy. Members of neighboring Granges especially, and the public generally, are respectfully invited to attend, not forget? ting to bring along something to refresh the inner man. \ Messrs. H. I. Epting and W. P. Cannon, Committee of Arrangements, write that the ! Patrons of Husbandry and the Knights of Jericho will have a pic nie at Williamston on the 12th inst. All the adjoining Granges and friends of Temperance are respectfully solicit I ed to join in the festivities of the occasion. Addresses will be delivered by suitable mem? bers of both organizations. VARENNES TAX UNION. Tho citizens of Varennes township assembled at Flat Rock Church on Saturday, 1st of Au? gust, for the purpose of organizing a Tax Un? ion. Col. J. W. Norris was called upon to preside, and Dr. J. T. McFall to act as Secre? tary.

The election of officers for the permanent organization resulted as fol? lows: Col. J. W. Norris, President; P. A. Masters, Vice President; Dr. R. E. Thompson, Secretary; W. T. McCown,Treasurer.

A meeting of the citizens of Broadaway town? ship was held at Neal's Creek' Church on Sat? urday, Aug. 1st, for the purposo of organizing a Tax Union. J. Willet Prevost was called to the Chair and J. B. Carpenter requested to act as Secretary. The object of the meeting was then explained by the Chairman, and a Con? stitution offered and adopted. The permanent organization of the Union was then proceeded with, and an election for officers resulted as follows: J. Willet Prevost, President; P. G. Acker, Vice President; J. B. Carpenter, Secre? tary ; W. A. McFall, Treasurer. Executive Committee?James B. Moore, Thos. \V. Martin, Joshua Holland, E. M. Holland and S. N. Pearman. Over thirty names were then en? rolled a3 members, and it was resolved to have a meeting in the way of a pic nie on Friday, 14th of August, at which time addressses may be expected from Maj. John B. Moore, James L. Orr, E. B. Murray and others, upon the subject of Tax Unions and kindred questions. A large committee of ladies and gentlemen was appointed to superintend the management. The public generally and the ladies especially are invited to attend with their baskets. Registration for the Town election closes Saturday morning next at 10 o'clock. DEATH OF A PROMINENT CITIZEN It is with sadness that we record the death of Dr. C. L. Gaillard, "an old, estimable and prominent citizen of this County, which oc? curred at his residence, about 10 miles north of this place, on the night of the 29th July last, aftera long and painful illness, occasioned by dropsy. The deceased was born in St. J..mes Santee, formerly one of the low-country parishes, but now included in Charleston County, and came to the up-country at an early age, and settled in what was then known as Pcndlcton District, but which is now Anderson County. He was twice elected to the Legisla? ture, once when he was quite a young man from Pendlcton District, and during the war from Anderson District. Ho was a local Methodist Preacher for a number of years, and was most zealous in his endeavors and teach? ings. During the last few years of his life he devoted himself to his earlier profession of Medicine, and did much good as a Physician. He was earnest in whatever he undertook, and did his utmost to do right. By his death the County loses a most valuable citizen, the com? munity a true friend, and his bereaved family a kind and indulgent parent and protector. At the time of his death he was in his 66th year. Beloved and respected by all who knew him, his memory will long be cherished. His remains were brought to this place on Thurs? day evening last, and interred in the Presby? terian Cemetery. Our sympathies are with the bereaved family in their present sad afflic? tion. GALA DA Y ON WILSON'S CREEK Of all the pic nics which have taken place in Anderson County during the season, none was better arranged or moro enjoyed than the one which took place on Thursday last, near the residence of Mr. G. L. McGce, on Wil? son's Creek. At an early hour in the morning people began to arrive from all sections of the County as well as from town, and by 10* o'clock a largo attendance was present. Soon after? wards speakiug was announced, and all wended their way to the beautiful grove on the left of Mr. McGee's residence, where a stand for the speakers had been erected. At 11 o'clock, Mr. Alonzo Welch, the Chairman of the Commit? tee of Arrangements, introduced the speakers in the following order: Maj. John B. Moore, Capt. James A. Hoyt and Wra. S. Brown, Esq. Afterwards James L. Orr and John E. Brea zeal Esqrs., were called upon, and delivered ap? propriate addresses. All of the addresses were able and eloquent, setting forth the necessity of honesty and reform in the State government, and commending social gatherings as a means of uniting the people in concord and unity, and of promoting pleasant associations. After the speaking was over, dinner was an? nounced. The table had been erected under some spreading oaks in another grove on the right of Mr. McGee's, and was well arranged. It was sixty feet square, the entrance to the interior being through a gate, over which was a beautiful arch of flowers and evergreens in? tertwined. A procession was formed and un? der the direction of the Chairman was marched to the table, all the ladies passing through the arched gateway to the interior and theu around, the gentlemen marching on the out? side, taking their respective places at the table, the ladies remaining within. The edibles which were various, bountiful and excellent, were disposed of in a manner that evinced the presence of no dyspeptic appetites. After din? ner, those who delighted in "tripping the light fantastic," enjoyed themselves on tho green beneath the oaks, and when the time came for them to leave, were loth to quit so pleasant a place. Late in the afternoon the gathering broke up and all went to their homes, carrying with them many aud pleasant remembrances of the day's pleasure. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS OF THE MURDER. It seems evident from the testimony of the witnesses at the inquest held upon the body of Miss Mary C. Tucker, that the killing was pre? meditated. Peter Carroll, one of the witnesses, testified that Henry Zeigler, in conversation with him sometime before the murder took place, said that if he did not get Miss Tucker she should never do anybody else any good> Further testimony went on to show that Zeigler came to town with Elbridge Tucker (a brother of Miss Mary Tucker) on the 28th July, and returned home with him about 9 o'clock p. m., and while on tho way home from town said that Miss Mary was angry with him. After going into the house, Zeigler took np Elbridge Tucker's pistol and examined it, saying that it was all right. Tucker told Zeigler to bo care? ful with the pistol as it was loaded, and some? time afterwards Miss Mary remarked to him that it was not rig'-t for a young man to carry a pistol. At tho time she said this young Tucker had gone to bed, but a young man named Brooks Gailey was present with Miss Mary. Soon after she made the remark about carrying weapons, Zeiglor presented the pistol and shot her through the forehead, the ball entering the brain. She fell over and said, "Henry what made you do that," and ho made no, reply. He then procured water and a towel and washed the blood from her face twice. Brooks Gailey asked Zeigler to assist him in removing her to another place, and he refused. Young Tucker who was in bed at the time, (10 o'clock p. in.,) uppn hearing tho report of the pistol, got up and came to the assistance of his sister. He examined tho pistol and found one of the chambers empty, one ball having been fired out. He then went out after assis? tance, and during his absence Zeigler left the premises running. Before assistance arrived, Miss Tucker had breathed her last. An inquest was held upon her body on the following morning, tho 29th July, Trial Jus? tice John Bryant acting Coroner. The verdict of the jury was, that "Miss Mary C. Tucker came to her death at 10 o'clock, on the night of 2Sth July, in her father's house, from a pistol ball entering the forehead and brain, the pistol being in the hands of one Henry Zeigler." Parties soon started in pursuit of Zeigler, and succeeded in capturing him tho following day at Ituckcrsville, Ga. Tho parties who captured him were Messrs. Wiles, John II. Morgan and Andrew Craft. They brought him to this place the next day, and lodged him in jail. Zeigler states that the shooting was accidental; that he examined the pistol before presenting it at Miss Tucker, and could not perceive any loads in it. EAR VEST FEAST OF THE GRANGES. The Harvest time is certainly being enjoyed by the different Granges throughout the Coun? ty, for this is to them a time of particular rejoicing on account of the present dawn of prosperity in the way of good crops. Town Creek Grange, No. 215, took advan? tage of the good season and fair weather, and gave a feast at Concord Church, about three miles above town, on Friday last. Quite a number of persons were present to hear the addresses which were to be delivered, and en? joyed the feast" afterwards. The speakers' stand was situated in the oak grove on the right of the Church, and at about Hi o'clock, Larkin Newton, Esq., the Chairman, intro? duced as first speaker Maj. Thos. B. Lee, who delivered an address replete with agricultural information. R. W. Simpson, Esq., was next introduced, and in a well delivered speech set forth the advantages in belonging to" the Granges, and the benefits to accrue by banding together in way of procuring cheap supplies and cheap transportation. Capt. James A. Hoyt was next introduced, and in a fitting and ap? propriate address, showed the mental, moral and social advantages to be derived from be? longing to the Granges. After these addresses were delivered, Hon. J. S. Murray was called upon, and said that he was an outsider, not belonging to the organization, but he was well aware that great and important benefits would accrue to all those in its ranks, and he said that all should belong to it in order to better their condition. James L. Orr, Esq., was called upon, but declined on the ground that it was growing late and that he was not well versed iu the objects of the organization. Dinner was then announced, and all parties repaired to the table in the grove below the Church, where a nice repast awaited them. After din? ner pleasant companies sat under the trees and discoursed or cooled themselves at the spring. All left in tho evening well pleased. Town rille Grange, No. 17G, also gave a Har? vest Feast, at Towuville, on Saturday last^ which was indeed a most pleasant affair. Par? ties from this place went out early in the morning, and arrived at Townville about 1(H o'clock, at which time a large number of peo? ple had already assembled. About 11 o'clock the Patrons of Husbandry formed in procession at the school house, and marched to the Church, where they halted, opened ranks and marched in inverted order into the building. The ex? ercises of the day were then opened with pray? er by the Rev. E. F. Hyde, after which the speakers were introduced by the Chairman, Capt. H. R. Vandiver, in the following order: Col. J. W. Livingston, John S. Verner, Esq., and Capt. James A. Hoyt. The first two gen? tlemen were from Oconee. The addresses were delivered in a clear and forcible style, impressing the audience with the earnestness of the sentiments expressed. After the speak? ing cloths were spread in the grove opposite the Church, and soon dinner was announced and partaken of with good appetites. After dinner the young people repaired to some of the adjacent residences, and whiled away the afternoon in the pleasures of the dance. The citizens of Townville have always been noted for their liberality and hospitality, and cer? tainly on this occasion they evinced thoso qualities in the highest degree. Every one left in the evening well satisfied, and wished those pleasant times would come round once more. ANNOUNCEMENTS. For the House of Representatives. ?$r- The friends of JAMES L.
