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.

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.

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.

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. NEWELL,

GAS ! GAS ! !
GREAT REVOLUTION !!
NO KEROSENE!!
NO EXPLOSION!!
nPHE great revolution we allude to is not
JL a bloody one, on the contrary, this
revolution will save many thousand of lives,
and untold loss of property by fire, from ex?
plosion of Kerosene lamps. Why will you
use Kerosene and jeopardize life and proper?
ty, when the French Illuminating Oil is so
much cheaper and entirely safe, having been
subjected to every test and found non-explo?
sive. The Lamp* in which this oil is used,
and which we are selling so rapidly, emits a
tlame far superior to the best Kerosense
lamps, and equal in brilliancy to city coal
gas. We can furnish Lamps suitable for
lighting public halls, churches, hotels, stores,
offices and privatedwellings, securinga light
equal to gas?cheaper than Kerosene and
perfectly safe.
READ ! READ !! READ ! It
Testimonial from Home-Folks.
We the undersigned having witnessed nu?
merous tests applied to the French Illumi?
nating Oil and Lamps for burning the same,
take great pleasure in) recommending its
general use, being non-explosive ; more eco?
nomical and giving a clearer, brighter light
than Kerosene. For public houses, stores
masonicand other halls, it is especially desira?
ble as a substitute for coal gas.
