P02E?NA GBAHGB.
We are requested to announce that the
regu^quarteriy meeting of Pomona Grange
?will be held in Temperance Hall at this
place on next Saturday, the 7th day of April,
at 10 o'clock a. m. Delegates are requested
to meet promptly, as business of importance
will be laid before the Grange.
SALEDAY.
Last Monday being saleday, a large crowd
of persons from all sections of the County
gathered in Anderson. Several tracts of
land were sold by the Sheriff at very low
figures. There was evidently very little
money for investment. The day passed off
very quietly. Information from every sec?
tion of our County shows that our farmers
are busily engaged upon their farms, and
the prospects for a large crop this year are
very flattering. Our people are making a
desperate effort by economy and hard work
to get out of debt and once more enjoy
prosperity. They seemed generally cheer?
ful and evidently they are looking forward
to better times.
LITE EASY LECTURE.
? The lecture delivered by Rev. D. E. Frier
ron before the society of "Woman's Mission
to Woman," on Wednesday evening, the
28th ult., in Temperance Hall, was as might
haye been expected, a polished and highly
interesting discourse. The subject selected
by tie speaker was "Woman's Work," and
'"air^ho" arelahnTfcr with Mr. Friereon's
h beautiful and terse manner of oratory can
* well imagine the treat enjoyed by these who
were present. Quite a number of persons
were present, trad we learn the Society in?
tends having a series of lectures from differ
? ont persons during the sumroor. We wish
them much success in their undertaking to
advance the missionary cause.
PLAUT C0BH.
Our people should remember that for the
past twelve- years we have planted cotton
very extensively,' and have been growing
gradually poorer every year. We have been
raising cotton to buy corn with, and at the
jj. end of the season the account stands against
the cotton planter. We should learn from
the past that we ought to raise our own
grain, and after that the more cotton we can
raise the better it will be for us. We ought
not to buy corn from abroad, and as long as
. we do so long will we be getting poorer.
Our farmers should remember their experi?
ence in the post, and profit from it. Plant
com as a crop and cotton only in such quan?
tities as can be cultivated, after thoroughly
working enough com to be sure of an ample
supply for our home market
THE SEE DEE WATCHMAN.
This is the name of a new paper which
. Messrs. A. A. & F. A. Gilbert propose com?
mencing the publication of between the
10th and 20th hurt., at Darlington C. HM
S. C These gentlemen were for a number
of years connected with the Sumter Watch?
man, and propose to make their new paper
"a vigorous, sound, fresh, first-class news?
paper." The prospectus announces that "it
will- represent and work earnestly for the
.development of the interest of every portion
of Darlington County, specially, and in so
far as may be practicable to extend its influ?
ence for good to the wider circle embodied
in its name. To the State it will be an un?
faltering defender of high-toned, honest and
economical government, and hence the
strong advocate of honest and competent
men for office, while it will seek, through
every available chancdl, to assist in uplift?
ing our loved mother Carolina and planting
her feet firmly , upon that platform on which
she won all of her illustrious past."

The second annual convention of the
Young Men's Christian Associations will be
held in Greenville on the 28th, 27th, 28th
and 29th days of April. This meeting is
composed of delegates from the various As?
sociations throughout the State, and all oth?
er persons who are in sympathy with its ob?
jects will be heartily welcomed to take part
in its deliberations. The discussion of dif?
ferent topics connected with the peculiar
labors of these Associations will be assigned
to experienced workers, and such a gather?
ing of active, zealous Christians from every
denomination must be productive of whole?
some influences. The usual reduction on
the railroads of three cents a mile has been
granted to delegates, who are requested to
forward their names at once to Mr. L. B.
Austin, Greenville, 8. C, so that homes may
be assigned them on arrival. We presume
that delegates will be appointed from An?
derson at the regular business meeting of
the Young Men's Christian Association,
which takes place on next Wednesday even?

0RIGIE OF THE SED SHIRTS.
The Columbia Register calls attention to
the fact that our friend, Capt. A. J. Sit ton,
originated the idea of the famous "red shirt
clubs," which became so general in the last.
campaign. His mounted rifle club was the
first to adopt this appropriate costume,
which was a keen satire upon the "bloody j
shirt" so long paraded and flaunted over the
country, metaphorically speaking, for the
delectation of the Republican party. By
adopting-.this emblematic costume, - upon |
entering a campaign which was destined to
take the stain out of the ensanguined wear-'
ing apparel of Morton, Chandler & Co., the
Invincible heroes of peace and reconciliation
between the races were enabled to move on
solidly to victory. Capt. Sitton deserves the j
credit most assuredly for the happy idea,
and it was our intention to make suitable
mention of the fact when all traces of the
"bloody shirt" were removed from the State.
Our Columbia contemporary has anticipated
the announcement, and we can only add
that as Capt. Sitton is entitled to the credit
of making the first red shirt, we think he
deserves likewise the honor of securing the
fairest of Carolina's maidens to keep up his
wardrobe et cetera.
A WASHING TO PABSHTS.
The melancholy accident which occurred
recently at the Abbeville depot, resulting in
the instant death of a promising little boy,
reminds us that parents in Anderson ought
to be placed upon their guard to prevent a
similar accident at the depot here. Almost
every day, when the cars arrive, there is a
crowd of boys at the depot, and many of
them get upon the train when it is in mo?
tion, or ran ahead of the cars as they are
being shifted, or in some other manner en?
danger their lives by risky performances.
Doubtless the parents are oftentimes una?
ware of the fact that their boys frequent the
depot at that time, and in case of an acci?
dent, like the sad occurrence in Abbeville,
the bereaved parents would be astounded to
know that their boy incurred such riBks.
We have no disposition to curtail any proper
enjoyment of the juveniles, nor are we con?
cerned in this matter except for the safety
and happiness of our neighbors, whose chil?
dren are allowed to visit the depot at a time
when there is a rush and hurry to get
through the business of the railroad. Be?
sides the danger involved, when boys are so
prone to take great risks upon themselves if
unrestrained in their conduct, the presence
of so many at the time specified must often
interfere and annoy the railroad officials,
who are only allowed a few minutes to get
through with considerable business. Parents
can revolve this matter in their own minds,
and then act for themselves.

Mr. John B. Watson has a fine piece of
Barley growing on his lot in town. The
first head of barley appeared in his patch on
the 31st of March last, which is earlier than
any we have heard of in this County. It is
a good crop and should be more generally
-planted.

Two merchants in Anderson sowed an oat
crop last fall upon shares. One furnished
the land and the seed oats, and the other
prepared the ground and put in the seed.
The crop is an entire failure, and now they

examine their stock.
Mr. Z. D. Chamblee, the proprietor of the
Anderson Emporium of Fashion, is receiv?

One of the most striking cases of absent
mindedness occurred last 8unday we have
ever known. A colored man named Joe
Washington, living upon the plantation of
Mr. E. M. Holland, ploughed in the field
nearly all day, believing fully that it was
Saturday. He did an extra fine day's work
upon the supposition that he was closing up
the week, and felt heartily ashamed of the
mishap when the truth was told him the
next day.

The citizens of this community will regret
io Karri thai; the excellent gentleth?n.above
named left Charleston on' ?ast"Thursday for
Eufaula, Alabama, where he will make his
home in the future. Mr. Gregory has many
friends and admirers' in this town, and we
regret that he has found his duty leads him
to reside in. -mother State. He carries with'
him the warmest .wishes for his success and1
prosperity in his new home. Speaking of
him the Charleston News ana* Courier says:
It is learned with sincere regret that this
highly respocted young Baptist minister has
taken his departure hence to reside perma?
nently in the flourishing town of Eufaula,
Alabama, i}d Irving been called to the pas?
torate of the First Baptist Church.
Great merest is felt here'in the future of
Mr. Gregory, because here" he was born,
I reared, edt>:ated and ordained to th?Chris
tian minist.. y, and here had much honor in
I the estimation of a people who saw him de?
velop from boyhood into physical and intel?
lectual nnsr.hoc^ v After careful prepara?
tion he was ordained in January, 1871, at
the First Baptist Church, the Rev. Drs.,

deeply interested congregation. After; five
?ears' devoted and faithful service atrMount
leasant, Christ Church Parish, he removed
to Kingstrc-.f in this State, and did''much
pastoral and general evangelical work. He
has been actively identified with,the South?
ern Baptist. State "ConVentibnJ Charleston
BaptLeL~ Association,' and the Baptist Semi?
nar;' at Greenville", and in all these impor?
tant fields cf Christian labor has been zeal?
ous and successful. .?'?
About tea days ago he was invited to go
to Eufaula by the congregation of the First
Baptist Church there. He went, proved ac?
ceptable, whs regularly called to that charge,,
accepted the call and left Charleston for his
new home on last Thursday, accompanied
by his estimable family. Mr. Gregory is a
ready and graceful writer and speaker, and
one of the growing lights of the Baptist de?

There is a dearth of striking events in this
section. We are all "well," however, and
doing the vary best we can.There are
one Presbyter'an, two Methodist and four

the colored element.Since spring has set
in wheat is growing rapidly, and the pros?
pect now begins to look more encouraging.
.Does everybody know that the Fork
representative on the Board of County Com?
missioners is a bachelor? Well, he is, but
It must not b.- inferred that he is averse to
wedlock. "A good un" could easily induce
him to take pti3sage on the uncertain sea of
matrimony.The Fork proper is that part
of Anderson lying between Seneca and
Tugalo rivers extending southward from the
Oconee line, a distance of ten miles, to An
dereonville, where these streams unite and
form the Savannah.
The^ farmers on the creek called Devil's
Fork are moving along with more diligence
than usual this spring. The soil seems more
thoroughly prepared for tho reception of the
seed, and there is a larger area of ground
planted in com than usual......Wheat Crops
are looking w>el 1 generally.More sorghum
is being planted than at any time since the
war. W. S. and L. S. Gray have planted
eight acres in cane, and every planter more
or less.It is gratifying to see the farmers
arc determined to raise their own supplies
at home.Good fences greet the eye every?
where. C. B. G. and R. F. W. have the best
fences in the township.S. C. H. has tho
best Berkshire pigs in the County.T. J.
R. has the best l&3'ing hens. He took from
cne nest forty-three eggs, and ho thinks
there might have been as many more, as ho
could only reach the outskirts of the nest,

.Arrangements are being made to locate
a a team saw mill, which will add materially
to the thrift of Bowling Green.This is
principally a farming community, and
thera are four farmers in the immediate
neighborhood who are going to run their
farms this year without a pound of guano.

THE BEST PUMP IN THE WORLD.
"VTOTHING conduces more to GOOD HEALTH than PURE WATER. Such is fur
jj( nished by the
DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP,
Manufactured by J. C. Nichols & Bro., Atlanta, Ga., which brings the water pure and fresh
from the bottom of the well. No slime or filth collects on the pump or in the well. No
snails, worms or green moss gets about the water. It is free from rust or other impurities,
and can be operated by a small child with ease, and brings the water fresher than any oth?
er Pump. It is of stone, glazed inside and outside, and never will decay. It improves the
water beyond a doubt by ventilating the well, and keeping it like a moving stream of
water. With a hose attached, it becomes a good fire-engine, ever ready at your door to
extinguish the flames in case of fire. It is better and cheaper than insurance. Its work?
ing gKst complete satisfaction, as those acquainted with it will testify.
It Is a home enterprise, permanently established, and relies on its own merits, upon
which it asks your patronage. This Pump is represented in Anderson and adjoining
Counties, together with the Counties of Hart, Elbert, Wilkes and Oglethorpe in Georgia,
ALONZO Tj. WELCH, Anderson, S. C.
Send in orders at once for Pumps, and they will be delivered and put in immediately.
