The Young Ladies' Society of the Presby? terian Church will furnish Ice Cream and other refreshments in the Masonic Hall on Friday evening from 6 to 9 o'clock p.m. The Methodist parsonage is rapidly ap? proaching completion, and persons who have subscribed for its erection are urged to j make payment to John W. Daniels, Esq., who is authorized to receive the money. Owners and persons in charge of threshers are requested to report at once to this office the amount of wheat and oats threshed during the present season, so we can as cer? tain the number of bushels produced in An? derson County this year. We had pleasant calls last week from Messrs. D. A. Smith, late of the Columbia Phoenix, H. Bascom.be Brown, of the Spar? enburg Herald, and Rev. J. H. Thornwell, of Concord, N. C, all of whom are on visits to relatives in this County. We had the pleasure of a call on last Monday from Maj. F. Melchers, editor of the Deutsche Zeitung and Commissioner of Immigration for South Carolina. The Maj. is on a visit to tho mountains, and is stop? ping for a few weeks at Walhalla. ? We are informed that Mr. Freeman L. Jolly, of Franklin County, Ga., sowed last fall three pecks of wheat on one acre of land, "which he manured with cotton seed, and the yield therefrom was twenty-three bush? els of wheat This is an encouraging ex? hibit. Messrs. Seibels & Ezell announce in another column that on Wednesday next, August the Hth, they will offer for sale, until disposed of, valuable lots in Seneca City. Parties wishing to purchase can in? form themselves of terms, etc., by reading the advertisement. The fall session of the Williamston Fa male College opened on Monday last with more boarding pupils than any previous one. The third-story rooms in the new wing of the college building are to be completed by the 1st of September, which will give Accommodations for more boarders. The Masonic fraternity will give a series of entertainments during Fair week in Oc? tober next, for the benefit of the Carolina Collegiate Institute. The committee of ar? rangements will meet at Maj. Humphreys' office at 9 o'clock on Friday morning, and further announcement may be expected next week. We had a call on Monday last from Mr. A. M. Smith, of Fowler, Indiana, who re? moved from this State to his present home early in 1860. He represents the country from which he comes as a live prosperous one, and his visit to our State at this time was prompted principally by matrimonial business. The third quarterly conference of Ander? son station, M. E. Church, South, will be ?held on Saturday next. Services may be expected in the church on Saturday and Sunday, morning and night. Revs. 0. A. Darby and S. A. Weber will be present and conduct the services. The pastor, Rev. W. W. Mood, is still so unwell as not to be able to leave Spartanburg. An excursion train, with ample accommo? dations for passengers, will leave Central Station, on the Air Line Railroad, at four o'clock on Saturday moming, 14th of Au? gust, and arrive in Atlanta at 11.30 a. m. The excursionists will remain in Atlanta six hours, leaving that city at 5.30 p. m. PersonB wishing to visit the Gate City will find this an excellent opportunity. Messrs. W. F. Barr and J. Reese Fant have formed a partnership for the conduct of the mercantile business in our town. With their well earned reputations for energy and integrity, together with their ex? perience and former success in business, we take pleasure in recommending them to the public for a liberal share of patronage, and predict for them the success they eminently deserve. The New Prospect Division of Sons of Temperance had a pleasant Pic Nie on Sat? urday last, at which Messrs. J. C. C. Feath? ers ton and James M. Sullivan made beaut tiful and instructive temperance addresses. The Worthy Patriarch, Mr. 8. L. Eskew, also made a well-timed speech at the close. After the speaking a sumptuous dinner was served and the occasion passed off most pleasantly, and it is to be hoped profitably to all present. We are requested to state that the Ander? son County Musical Convention will hold its seventh anniversary with Lebanon Church on Friday before the fourth Sabbath in September next. By resolution of the last Convention, each Sunday School is aUowed representation, and is entitied to three delegates chosen by the members of the school. The Sunday Schools through? out Anderson County are expected to re? spond to this resolution. Messrs. Byrum & McGrath have done a good business the past few months in erect? ing lightning rods, and have received testi? monials of satisfaction from those most com? petent to judge of the character of their Tvork. Persons wishing work in either re? pairing or erecting lightning rods would do well to leave their orders with them. They are the only home company doing business in the upper part of the State, and we are glad to know they have succeeded so well. We are requested to state that the Pic Nie intended to be given at Providence Camp Ground on Saturday, the 7th inst., by the Seneca Division of the Sons of Temperance, has been postponed to Saturday, the 14th day of this month, at which time tho public Seneraliv are invited to attend a basket Pic lie at Williford's Store, to be given under the auspices of this Division. Speeches on the subject of Temperance may be expected | on this occasion from Rev. W. A. Hodges, L. A. Simpson, and others. Messrs. Divver & Burdgess have formed a partnership for the purpose of opening Ma? chine Works in Anderson, for the purpose of building and repairing engines, and carry? ing on the business of machinists generally. We are very glad to see this enterprise start? ed in our midst by gentlemen so capable of making it a success. Both of them are thorough workmen, and understand the theory and practice of their business. We hope they will meet with every encourage? ment at the hands of our citizens, and there? by be enabled to make the business profita? ble to themselves and beneficial to our town. THE TOWN MEETING. The meeting of the citizens of Ander? son, called by a number of citizens in our last issue, convened in the Court House last Monday evening, and not? withstanding the rainy evening was the largest gathering of white citizens of the Town we have seen in several years. The meeting was called to order by Capt. W. S. Sharpe, upon whose motion Dr. P. A. Wilhite was called to the Chair and J. J. Baker requested to act as Secretary. The Chairman, in a brief address, ex? plained the object of the meeting, and called for business. E. B. Murray, after a few remarks, of? fered a resolution that the question of license or no license be made a separate issue in the election for town officers, and that the Town Council be requested to meet on Tuesday and order a separate ballot-box to be opened where every voter might vote "license" or "no li? cense," and that the nominees of this meeting be pledged to carry out the wishes of the people as expressed by the majority vote upon this question. After remarks by Col. R, S. Hill, the resolu? tions were unanimously adopted. Capt. W. S. Sharpe moved that the thanks of the meeting be returned to the present Council for the manner in which they have discharged their duties, and that a committee of seven be appointed to nominate an Intendant and four War? dens for the ensuing year. The resolu? tion was adopted, and Mr. B. F. Cray ton and Col. Cochran acknowledged the thanks tendered them as members of the old Council in short speeches. E. B. Murray then spoke of the peculiar cir? cumstances which had caused this meet? ing. Every member of the old Council had expressed himself as unwilling to run again, and it was thought a favorable time to inaugurate an era of good feeling and harmony among all classes of our citizens, and stated that the meeting was ready to nominate a full ticket that would givo satisfaction to all, provided there was a promise from all present that no other ticket than the one nominated by this meeting should be run. At the con? clusion of his remarks, Col. Cochran arose and said that he might support the ticket nominated by this meeting or he might not. Mr. Murray then said that if that was the ground assumed, it simply meant there would be opposition, and the meeting had as well prepare for it. That there was a party of men in the meeting who wished to control it, and that failing in this they would oppose its nominations. He commented plainly upon such conduct, and moved to recon? sider Capt. Sharpe's resolution, and so amend it as to nominate only two War? dens, as under the system of cumulative voting we could only hope to elect two. Col. Cochran then said that he was a free man and twenty-one years of age, and that if he felt like running he would do so, independently of any nomination, and that he had no part in the meeting and would not be governed by it. After speeches from Capt. Sharpe and Col. Hill, the motion to reconsider was adop? ted, and the Chair appointed the com mitte as follows : A. R. Broyles, T. M. White, J. B. Clark, E. B. Murray, A. B. Towers, W. S. Sharpe, Harry Gaillard and Henry Whitefield. The committee retired aftd made the following nomina? tions, which were received with enthusi? asm by the meeting: For Intendant?James A. Hoyt. For Wardens?G. F. Tolly, J. TS, Brown. The report of the committee was adop? ted, and the meeting adjourned. This is considered one of the strongest and best nominations that could have been made, and the meeting certainly did its work well, considering the disor? derly conduct of the crowd of colored people who came into the meeting for the purpose of disturbing its proceedings. Of course there were some of them who behaved properly, but we think tho con? duct of the majority called loudly for the interference of the police. The citizens of the Town are highly pleased with the nominations, and their election it is thought is within our power. The con? test wUl probably be a close one, and every person should go to work with a determination to elect the citizens' ticket. FIRE. On last Tuesday morning, about half past eight o'clock, the residence of Mr. J. B. Clark was discovered, by the ladies of I the house who were alone, to be on fire. The smoke in some of the rooms was very dense, and was issuing rapidly from the top of the house. Soon after the alarm was given the crowd assembled, and by diligent work succeeded in sup ' pressing the fire before very great dam? age had been done. The escape from a [ burning was indeed a narrrow one, the . danger being so imminent at one time as to cause them to remove nearly every? thing from the burning house into the streets. The fire must have originated from matches set on fire by rats, as it caught down stairs between tho parlor and a back room and burned upwards between two pieces of studding which served as a flue to carry the flames up? wards. Mr. Clark was not insured, and his loss reaches several hundred dollars. Had the fire occurred in the night it is more than probable the house would have been consumed. The frequency of fires in our midst shouid call the atten- J tion of our town authorities to tho sub? ject of having some regulations tending to reduce the danger as far as possible. If it is impossible to do anything more there might be a set of town ladders pro? vided for use on these occasions. If the lightning rod wagon of Messrs. Byrum <fc McGrath had been out of town it would have been very difficult to have reachod the top of Mr. Clark's house and the flames might not have been subdued. If a set of laaders were provided and kept in some central place they would there? by avoid the danger of being unable to reach top of buildings, and might be found of great use in time of fire. ORKVILLE HIGH SCHOOL. On last Saturday one of the pleasantost Bocial gatherings of the season took place at the Orrville High School, under tho auspices of the students of the institu? tion. Col. W. J. Lomax, the efficient principal of tho school, made an excel? lent introductory addross, and intro? duced in order Messrs, E. B. M .iray and C. W. Moore, who made brief ad drosses, after which the excellent dinner prepared for tho occasion was onjoyod. In tho afternoon a pleasant dance was indulged in, notwithstanding the warm weather; and at a late hour in tho after? noon tho many who were in attendance loft highly pleased with the festivities of tho day. A SAD CALAMITY. It becomes our duty to record ono of the saddest deaths we have ever known, bringing sudden and unexpected grief to a household, where all was brightness and sunshine before. Our young friend, Joel S. Perrin, Esq., of Abbeville, was snatched from the land of the living in the twinkling of an eye. He came to Anderson with his family on Wednesday last, for the purpose of making a visit to Col. F. E. Harrison and family at Ander sonville. He remained in our town until Friday morning, when he left here to carry out his previous intention of spend? ing a few days with his friends and rela? tives. Ho was a little unwell after reach? ing Andersonville, but his condition did not excite any alarm; in fact, his unfavo? rable symptoms were trivial and almost unnoticed even by himself. On Satur? day morning, in company with a little son of Col. Harrison, he went to the creek which empties into the Tugaloo River near the junction, and got into a bateau with a view to ?shing in the stream. Not long after reaching the boat, the little boy noticed that Mr. Perrin was falling backwards from his seat, with his eyes closed, and gave the alarm to some persons near by, who hastened to tho spot, and found that life was already ex? tinct. It is supposed that he was attack? ed with heart disease, and almost instant? ly met the grim monster. Mr. Perrin was a son of tho late Col. James M. Perrin, of Abbeville, who was mortally wounded at the battle of Chan cellorsvillo. He inherited many of the noble qualities which endeared his father to all who knew him, and there was not a more popular or deserving young man in Abbeville than Joel S. Perrin. He was admitted to practice law a few years ago, and was engaged in a successful business. Bright,'hopeful and resolute, with an extensive family connection, and the prestige of a noble and untar? nished name, the future seemed to prom? ise gladness and sunshine. But human hopes and human expectations are as naught when compared to the inscruta? ble decrees of an All-Wise God, who de? termines the number of our days, and sends His messenger at an hour we think not. The remains of Mr. Perrin were brought to Anderson on Sunday morn? ing, and were taken to Abbeville on an extra train, which brought a number of friends and relatives from that place, who were inexpressibly shocked at the sad termination of this visit. The fune? ral services took place on Sunday after? noon at Long Cane Church. The deceas? ed was about twenty-six years of ago, and leaves a wife and one child to mourn the loss of an affectionate husband and fond parent. A MODEL GRANGE* We do not propose to devote this article to the praise of an organization, as the cap? tion would seem to indicate, but we use the word grange in its original sense, and our present reference is to the model farm of ] our esteemed and energetic friend, B. F. Crayton, Esq., the wide-awake President of | our Agricultural Society, who is so widely known as an encourager and promoter of j progress in farming. On Saturday last, a number of ladies and gentlemen were invi? ted to spend the day with Mr. Crayton and his family, who arranged for a pic nie occa? sion to close the labors of the summer, pre? paratory to the in-gathering of a bountiful and fruitful crop. As is well known to many of our readers, Mr. Crayton is em? ploying German laborers exclusively this year, and the pic nie was mainly intended for thir benefit. The families employed by him were brought directly from Germany, and include three men with their wives and children, numbering altogether twenty three persons, and making a working force of ten or twelve. Their industry and thrift is everywhere apparent, and the experiment has proven a decided success, which has induced Mr. Crayton to make a further ven ture in this direction, as we learn that other families are now engaged by him to come out this fall, The occasion to which we refer was one of | purely social enjoyment, and when the morning had passed away in animated con? versation with and about the Germans, we were invited to partake of an excellent din? ner at the spring, under the wide-spreading oaks, to which ample justice was rendered. A number of the invited guests were famil? iar with the German language, and we have no doubt this added much to the enjoyment of Mr. Crayton's employees, who were made to feel that the day was set apart for their special benefit. It was not long after din? ner until the crowd were invited to the house, and the afternoon was spent in danc? ing, which was participated in to a large ex? tent by the Germans, although some of our native-born citizens "tripped the light fantas? tic" with considerable vigor. The entire time was an unalloyed pleasure, for which we have to thank our generous hoBt and his excellent family. We understand that Mr. Crayton intends at an early day to erect a new dwelling upon his farm, and the prospect is that he will take up a permanent residence at Gantrya ville. His devotion to farming, and tho great success which has attended his efforts, make him anxious to provide comfortable quarters for old age, and we trust that he may long enjoy the fruits of an honorable career. THE GRAND DIVISION OF SONS OF TEM? PERANCE. The quarterly meeting of the Grand Di? vision of Sons of Temperance in South Carolina will convene in Temperance Hall, at this place, on Wednesday evening next at 8 o'clock p. m. On Thursday morning at 11 o'clock there will be a mass meeting of | the Sons of Temperance of Anderson Coun? ty held in the Baptist Church, where ad? dresses from distinguished speakers in the Temperance cause may be expected.

IMPORTANT aale of VALUABLE LOTS in the flourishing town of SENECA CITY, at the crossing of the Air Line and Blue Ridge Railroads beginning on WEDNES? DAY, Ilth day of August, 12 o'clock, and contimiing from day to day until the entire property is disposed of. This will afford an opportunity for purchasers to buy the un? sold Lots, many of which are very desira? ble, in this healthy and fast improving town. Seneca City possesses peculiar advantages in being located in one of the most healthy sections of the world, with a full supply of Pure Free Stone Water. Located within the Cotton Belt, it must command a good trade in that staple, as well as the rich harvests gathered in the valleys of the Seneca and Tugaloo Rivers. Conneross, Cane and Mar? tin Creeks and Little River afford numerous and extensive Water Powers, within a few miles of the city, which, taken in connec? tion with the fact that extensive Beds of Fine Iron Ore and Rich Gold Mines are found near by, insures the success of the place, and, before many years shall lapse, it will undoubtedly be the largest city in the Western section of South Carolina. Parties in want of a Pleasant Home, will do well to attend the sale, which will be without reserve, on the following terms: One-third cash; balance in two equal pay? ments of four and eight months.. Purcha? sers to pay for papers. Arrangements will be made with the Railroads to take parties attending the sale at reduced rates of tare. July 22, 1875 1 VALUABLE FARM FOR SALE.

CERTIFICATES. Anderson, S. C, May 11,1874. Mr. W. S. Sharpe?Sis: The Fifty Saw Brown Gin bought from you last season has given entire satisfaction in all respects. It cleans the seed better than any other Gin, and makes as fine sample of cotton as any I have ever seen. It runs very lightly, and its machinery is very simple in its construc? tion. I take pleasure in recommending this Gin to any one wishing to purchase. Respectfully. " B. C. MARTIN. Williamston, June 15, 1873. Mr. W. S. Sharpe?tiin: In answer to your inquiry in regard to my opinion of the Brown Cotton Gin, I can say that I would not take it down to put up any other Gin that I am acquainted with. It runs very light; is no trouble to keep in order. To prove the last assertion, I ginned three hun? dred and twenty bales on nunc and never removed the caps from the inks; in fact, I don't think I lost twenty minutes in all the time from anything wrong with the Gin. It makes a very good staple, and sells in our market at the highest prices. Yours respectfullv, C. E. HORTON. Hall Township, June 21,1873. Mr. W. S. Sharpe?Sir ? We bought from you a Fifty Saw Brown Cotton Gin, on "which we ginned 150 bales of cotton. We think it is the best Gin made. The Gin runs light, picks fast and clean, and makes a fine sample. W. B.
