Towers and John W. Todd have formed a copartnership for tfit conduct of a general mercantile business"h Ander son. Mr. Towers is one of tho cttlcst and most roliablo merchants in our towi, and is too well known to need any introuu lion to tho public from us. Mr. Todd, the junior I member of the firm, is also a gcntleaan of experience in his business, whose} intelli gence and honor render him a worthyneni ber of thc new firm, which will doubtless continuo to receive thc confidence r*pl ex tensive patronage always accorded lc Mr. Towers and those associated with liln in business. We regret to state that Dr. W. G. Brovne, who bas been so well and favorably kntwn os the resident dentist of Anderson, hasre moved to Atlanta, Ga., where he has fotr.od a copartnership with Dr. J. W. Gurley in the practice or ientistry, surgen* and ceahin branches of medicine.

Thc .summer meeting of thc Gland Divis ion of the Sons of Temperance 01 Soutn Carolina will convene at Williamston, in this County, on next Wednesday, the 25th inst., at ll o'clock a. m.

The Resolute Base Ball Club of Green ville have challenged the Anderson Base Ball Club and tho challenge has been ac cepted. A match game will be played le tween these two clubs in Anderson at t\c Base Ball grounds on to-morrow (Friday] afternoon. Thc Resolutes have had mon practico and experience than thc Andersoi Club, but wc predict a close and intercstin] game. Thc ladies and gentlemen of Auder son aro invited to be present and witness thi playing. _ u_ THE CHANGED SCHEDULE. As wiii bo seen by reference to the sched nie of the Greenville and Columbia. Rail road, published elsewhere, the time for th arrival and departure of trains hos bCei greatly altered. This chango is made In th interest of Charleston, and makes the tri] from the up-country to Charleston, or ric versa, consume only one day. The arriva of tho down train, though early in til morning, is not objectionable, but thc even lng train reaches Walhalla, and all point above Bolton, unreasonably late. By lca\ ing Charleston ono hour earlier, and makin thc trip ono hour quicker, by running a Iii tlc foster and shortening thc timo at sh tlon.s, this objection could easily ho renn died, and the schedule made to suit all sex I tiona. We hope thc railroad anthon tit I will consider thc nronricty of so nlt^rt" flic schooule os to adapt it aa far as possibl to nil stations along the line. \ -. - THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

As will be seen from thc progrnmmo, thc i-ntir? music of thc Conimeneeniont was furnished by these accomplished ladies und the music pupils of Mrs. Pinkind, who pre sides over thc Musical Department of the College. The young ladies displayed line musical attainments, and reflected great credit upon their teacher. The Commencement this year waa a very fine auecesfi. and was an ..TCeodingly agreea ble anuir, which displayed io fine advantage the work nf th? institution for the past ses sion, which is \ory encouraging to the friends of co-education of thc sexes, and must bc highly salisfactory to the patrons and pupils of the institution.

WATSON, Grange Agency, No. a Benson Block, Anderson, H. C. CERTIFICATES. ANDERSON, July 2, 1877. Tilia is to certify that I purchased from J. W. Chapman it Co., last Summer, a No. I li) feet long) Perpetual Evaporator, (gal vanized iron,) with which I made ov*r eight hundred gallons of Syrup from Sor ghum and Implico canes. I mode, under favorable circumstances, us high as ten gul lons per hour, and think that i could make with suitable mill from 75 to 100 gallons per day. Tho Evajwrutor Ls simple in con struction, easily operated, ami makes an ar ticle of Syrup unsurpassed hy any other that I have seen. Tho cheapness, (as com pared with others,) greater amount of boil ing surface and simplicity of construction, certainly give it thc pre-eminence over all others. JULIUS lt. EARLE. ANDERSON, June 28, 1877. JOHN B. WATSON, Agent Pomona Grange, Anderson County, S. C. : DEAR SIR-Yours of the 2?th inst., re specting the merita of tho "Chapman Per petual Evaporator, ls received. In reply, I used a No. 2 (galvanized) Evaporator last year, nt a cost of fifteen dollars, with which I made ono thousand and fifteen gallons of molasses, equal in quality to any I have ?cen. 1 made from 40 to 50 gallons per day, (i.e., in ten hours.) Thc lubor of making was light and pleasant. It is so constructed that in uprating requires but vcrv little labor, much less than that of "Cook's Evaporator." In fact, I feel warranted in 'aying that from observation and informa tion of others, that the "Chapman Evapo rator"'has no superior, if an equal, md nt loss than half the cost. I can certainly re commend it in preference to any other, bo ng fully convinced that a trial will satisfy iiiy one, however skeptical. fo Patrons of Husbandry.-If we practico mr professions in economy and reform, you viii buy "Chapman's Evaporator"-thc ihcapost and the best.
