THE INETLLIGENCER. LOCAL. MATTERS. MENTION. His Honor Judge Reed is up the country spending the interval between his Courts with his family in Anderson. Mr. J. L. 0. Branyon brought to our office last week a, very fine Sample of peas igrown upon his farm. A crop of such "would be very valuable. Mr. Elias D. Pruitt lost a fine young milch cow on last Monday morning. The animal died very suddenly, and he has been unable to detect the cause which produced it? death. Mr. James M. Smith brought us a corn tassel on last Wednesday, which was en? deavoring to turn into from forty to fifty little ears of corn. It is a very remarkable freak of vegetation. Mr. James M. Payne has hung oat a neat sign, pointing to his new harness shop up stairs over Bleckley, Brown & Go's, store on Granite Row. It is an- invitation to the public to give him a call. The amount of noise and disorderly con? duct about the depot at the time of the night tram's arrival is very disagreeable to ladies who may be obliged to go to the depot, and should be stopped by the town authorities. Seneca Division, Sons of Temperance, is requested to meet at Providence Camp Ground on Saturday, the 4th of August, at 2 o'clock, p. m., to attend to important bus? iness. A full attendance of the members is desired. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Mercer Brown, traveling agent of the Co? lumbia Register, in Anderson on lastFriday. He represents the ~Rcgister as receiving every where that warm support which its inde? pendence and ability deserve Mr. Th?s. F. BUI was knocked down on last Tuesday while ploying base ball, by a lick from a ball which had been batted near him. The lick produced a severe contusion over the eye, but we_ are gratified to note that Mr. Hill is not dangerously hurt. We had the pleasure of meeting on last Wednesday Messrs. Ligon ana Fisher, of Columbia, who are. recruiting for a short time in the upper portion, of th? State. Mr. Ligon: was- formerly of this place, and his many friends are gratified tcj have a visit from Arthur. ' We are gratified to learn thatj Col. James A. Hoy t, of the Columbia Regker, intends visiting Anderson oh the occasion of the meeting of the State Grange and. State Fair Association on the 9th of Augusl It will be pleasant to meet him back it his old home once more. V The meeting to discuss the ince law, which was announced for Long'} Shop for next Friday, will be postponed until Wednesday, tie first day of Augut, at two o'clock p. m., at which time a ftp discus? sion is desired, and the public generally is invited to be present. Revs. Mike McGee, W. H. Bng and James. K. Fant began an interestSg meet? ing at Real's Creek Baptist Churcion last Friday. The services, which are solemn and impressive, secure large a?iences, which afford a prospect of the acctnplish ment of much good by them. " j The speech delivered by Mr. Villiam Bewley at the Commencement of th Caro? lina Collegiate Institute last week wi origi? nal, and not an extract as stated in nr last issue. His subject was "Ambition,"tad its preparation and delivery were highl^cred itablc to their author. \ The temperance pic nie at Ebeueq- on the 3rd of August will be an interestini oc? casion. Tue morning will be devote to temperance addresses, and the afternooi to a discussion of the stock law. A large m tence is expected, and a pic nie dinner \ll s enjoyed by those who attend. * i Mr. John Kaufman, of Walhalla, about completed the erection of a handsdje little cottage for Mrs. M. J. Wilson on \e vacant, lot between Mr. L. P. Smith's aS the Catholic Church lot. It will be a con fortable building, and will add considerabl to Ihe appearance of that portion of town. | There will be a meeting at Williford'il, Store on the 16th day of August, to discuss ( the fence law. Messrs. E. M. Rucker, F. E.g Harrison and William R. Parker, colored, are invited to speak. The meeting will be? gin at 10 o'clock a. in., and both sides are invited to be present and participate in the discussion. Col. J. B. E. Sloan, the popular senior member of the well known and reliable firm of Sloan & Seignious, factors and commis? sion merchants, in the city of Charleston, was in Anderson a short time on last Fri? day. The Colonel and his family are spend? ing the summer at their country residence at Pendleton. The Town Council of Anderson have passed an ordinance to prevent throwing or playing ball upon the Public Square. This ordinance is timely, and its provisions should be noted by all who have been in? dulging in the forbidden pleasure. Its vio? lation will cost fifty cents, or six hours in the calaboose. The conductor and employees on the Bine Ridge division of the Greenville & Columbia Railroad are advocates of the fence law, for if people are required to fence in their stock, trains will not be stopped nor hands sent ahead to drive out of the way of the engine lean cows which are too lazy to get off of the track, even to save their own lives. Every farmer who has not already done so should plant at least one acre in corn sowed in the drill for fodder. The amount of roughness'to be derived from it cannot be .so easily and cheaply obtained in any other manner. Give it a trial one time, and you will learn a valuable lesson as to how to feed y?ur cows and horses in winter, with very little expense. There will be a meeting of the citizens of Hopewell Township, at Hopewell Church, on Thursday, the 2nd day of August, at 11 o'clock a. m., to discuss both sides of the fence question. The ladies, and citizens generally, are requested to attend and carry their baskets, in order to spend the day, and have a full consideration of the subject. Messrs. B. F. Crayton, E. M. Rncker, and others, are invited to speak. Mr. W. A, Fant has just, completed and put up a handsome sign over the door of Messrs. McCully & Taylor's store on the northern side of the public square. These gentlemen are becoming well known to the I farmers of our County for their liberal and fair dealings, which have rendered their store justly popular with the trading public. Their new sign will raider it easier for per? sons coming to town to find their place of business. The following officers were publicly in? stalled to serve for tbe present term, in Union Grove Division; Ifo. 104, Sons of Temperance, on the 7jh inst., by Deputy Grand Worthy Patriarch H. I. Epting, as? sisted by Prof. S. Lander, acting Grand Conductor: E. M. Snipes. W. P.: J. A. Landres, W. A.; D. C. McConncll, R. S.; Miss Sallie Broom, 4 R, S.; Miss Ella Drake, F. S.; E. Ml Griffin, T.; A. D. ) i Bowlan, Chap.; Miss J. J. Broom, Con.; H. A. Landres, A. C; Palmore Campbell, I. S.; L. W. Harris, 0. S., H. S. Broom, P. W. P. After the installation services, cheering and interesting speeches were made by the installing officers. The bridge on Main street, south of Judge Reed's residence, is in a dangerous and ?dilapidated condition. A citizen ?f Ander? son was riding over it last week and his horse got a leg fastened in a hole, throwing the rider, who narrowly escaped serious in? jury. The present plank bridge ought to be succeeded by a substantial rock culrert, which will in future be both safe and .sub? stantial. Mr. John Kaufman, of Walhalla, has commenced the erection of a handsome and commodious cottage for Mrs. Mary E. Sloan upon the vacant lot in Anderson, where her residence which was burned som? three years ago formerly stood. The house will be constructed after a modern plan to com? bine a beauty of appearance with a' conve? nience of construction. Its completion will give another elegant residence to the North? ern portion of Anderson. A member of Neal's Creek Grange has in? vented a new mode of freeing his sweet potatoes from grass after the slips have been planted out. It consists simply in letting his potato patch alone until it becomes overrun with grass, and then transplanting the slips into a clean and fresh prepared patch. - We are assured that this experi? ment has been tried three times this season with complete success and satisfaction. We do not know that the device is patented, but would advise our readers as a measure of precaution to obtain the inventor's per? mission before making the experiment. We are requested to announce that there will be a meeting at Mr. R. R. Beaty's Mills, in the Dark Corner, on next Satur? day morning for.the purpose of discussing both sides of the proposed fence law. Suit? able speakers have been invited on both sides, and the speaking will begin promptly at eleven o'clock.. The public generally are invited to attend. There will not be any pic nie as has been previously announced. The meeting is entirely ror the considera? tion of the stock or fence law, and it is earnestly desired to have all friends and opponents of the measure present at the meeting. The members of Neal's Creek Grange met on last Thursday afternoon and re-organ? ized by electing the following officers, who will be installed on next Saturday, at two o'clock p. m., in their Grange Hall, by the Master of Belton Grange: Master, J. B. Carpenter; Overseer, J. A.Major; Lecturer, E. B. Murray; Steward, J. M. Elgin; As sistant Steward, P. B. Gentry; Chaplain, Thomas Erskine; Treasurer, E. M. Hol? land ; Secretary, C. A. Kay; Gate Keeper, L. T. Holland; Ceres, Mrs. E. T. Vandiver; I Pomona, Mrs. M. L. Major; Flora, Mrs. C. A. Kay; Stewardess, Eliza Elgin. This i Grange is once again in good working order. As will be seen from our advertising col? umns, the "Southern Home School" is to be re-opened soon. It will be under the efficient management' of Miss Wade, an accomplished lady of Columbia, who comes into bur midst with the most flattering tes? timonials as to her mental and social quali? fications from a number of leading men of Columbia, among whom is Hon. Hugh S. Thompson; State Superintendent of Educa? tion.' Miss Wade will have competent assistance' in her school; and will occupy the residence of Mrs. John "V. Moore, on Greenville street. Under her control it will no doubt be a prosperous and popular insti? tution.. There will be a Grange and Temperance meeting and basket pic nie at Mr. Andrew Harris' Spring, near Bowlan Green, on Fri? day, August 3rd. Dr. W. C. Brown, of Bel ton, Dr. H. I. Epting, Kev. S. Lander, M.E. Mitchell, and others, have been invited to speak on the occasion. An invitation is also extended to any person who desires to speak in opposition to the proposed change in the fence law. The public generally and ladies especially are invited to attend with their baskets. Neighboring Granges and Divisions are requested to be present in full regalia. We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson, which occurred at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. Claudius S. Beaty, of Toccoa City, Ga. Mrs. Robinson rras originally an inhabitant of Abbeville County, but for the last fifteen years she had lived with her son-in-law in this County mtil she removed with his family to Toccoa Tity. She was an excellent lady, and died jt the ripe old age of seventy-five years, Wh beloved by a large circle of relatives ?d friends. Her remains were brought to iderson on last Monday and placed to in Good Hope Church yard, where ?W of her relatives who had gone before sV \ THE HOPEWELL PIC HIC. 01 of the most pleasant gatherings we bavettended this season was had, accord? ing ^announcement, under the auspices of Hopflell Division, of Sons of Temperance, at H^wel!

Greenville and Anderson contend for the Championship?Victory Perches upon the Standard of the Mountain City Club. On last Friday afternoon a match game of Base Ball was played in this town between the Resolute Base Ball Club, of Greenville, S. ft, and Anderson Base Ball Club, No. 1, of this place. The Resolute Club was rep? resented by Messrs. F. T. Capers, Captain, and W. E. Beattie, T. J. Glover, A. G. Gow er, E. B. Rutledge, S. T. Weyman, J. Win stock, P. B. Rowland and G. M. Wilkins. The Anderson Club by Messrs. E. T. Cashine^Oaptain, Jesse R. Smith, jr., Louis Sharpe, James M. Payne, Sam'l. M. Orr, W. H. Wilson, John E. Allen, George Har? rison and Clement Brown. ?t three o'clock, the hour appointed for the beginning of the game, a large' con? course of ladies and gentlemen assembled to witness the play. Comfortable seats were provided in advance, and the game pro? ceeded promptly and with alacrity. The Greenville Club, which is composed of younger men and boys than the Anderson Club, is yet a great deal older in the time of its formation and experience in base balling than our Club, which had only been organ? ized some three weeks, and had not become well acquainted with the rules and practice of the game. The discipline of the Green? ville Club was excellent, and. Mr. Capers displayed fine capacities as the general of the game for the I Greenville combatants, deserving, no douVt, much of the success achieved by his Caib. The Greenvillians were smaller than \he Anderson players, and from the beginning of the game had the sympathy of th\ audience, which in? spired them and diicouraged our Club. Both sides won freqlent applause by nu? merous good plays, j J. L. Tribble, Esq., lad been selected Um? pire, and his decisions throughout the evening gave entire satisfaction, and c n manded the respect a' both players and spectators. J. A. Brick, Esq., acted as Scorer, and at the contusion of the game, the following result w\s announced, amid loud and enthusiastic cfeering: SCOBE OF GAME?TIME, 3*IOURS, 27 MINUTES.

Thel trip to our town was pleasant for our piple, and we trust that it proved agreeable tj our visitors also. _ I METHODIST DISTRICT COHERENCE.

These reports were very^ncour aging, representing the Church as increasing in its membership and Christian usfulness. The Sabbath Schools are also repres ited as in a flourishing condition. The la mem? bers were, however, complained of ! a cer? tain extent because, as a general thi j they do not read sufficiently of biblical littature, but like most other Christians of the jrcsent day depend upon their pastors alnist en? tirely for instruction. It was recoralended that the ministry exert its influence i far as proper to correct this state of thingj The finances of the Church are not as sati&ctory as desired, and as a consequence the ilaries of pastors are poor and the Cburchcnter prises somewhat crippled. Additionfo the membership are reported in every q arter, Rev. H. F. Chrietzberg, of Amsison, preached an eloquent introductory s r>ion at night from Romans, 2:3. SECOND DAY. Reports from the various chargeiitvere continued, showing in some instanc* the property of the Churches to be in ba con? dition, and in other instances n?tin; im? provements. Two new parsonages iave been secured since the last meeting. The condition' of the Churches within the bounds of the Conference is reported gen? erally flourishing. . At 11 o'clock Bishop Wightman, kho had arrived, preached an able and intevest ing sermon from the text, "I am crudfied with Christ," &c?Galations, 2:20. I THIRD DAY. On Saturday the session was very intfcst ing. The publishing committee mad^its report, and after an address from Bijhop Wightman twenty-eight hundred doWs was apportioned out to be raised byihe churches in this Conference during jhe present year. 1 Prof. W. W. Duncan, of Wofford Collie, Spartanburg, S. ft, then made an elequ^it and elaborate speech upon the educati interests of the church in South Carolii and secured a subscription of seven bund and fifty dollars to the endowment of "V\ ford College. The election of delegate5 the annual Conference resulted in the sol tion of Messrs. B. F Few, G. W. Andera A. H. Cureton and Larkin Newton w Messrs. W. T. McGill and G. B- Thorn as alternates. After passing the usual compliment resolutions, and fixing Easly Station as place for holding the next session, the 0 ference adjourned sine die. SUNDAY morning services were begun by a love feit in the Chapel, where stirring speeches wej made and telling experiences related. Thi impressive services were interspersed wil beautiful hymns, and at 11 o'clock rf Wightman preached to a crowded house f intent listeners a thrilling sermon from Rci 1:18?"I am he that liveth and was deacB and behold I am alive forever more, amea and have the keys of hell and death." Tn other pulpits of the town were filled hi ministers from the Conference, but tbj greater portion of the attendance was out fj hear Dr. Wightman. At night Kev. S. B. Jones, D. D., of PeJ dleton, preached one of his most able anj forcible sermons from Joshua 2&: 15?"An] if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord choose you this day whom ye will scrve,| &c. The sermon commanded the mosj profound attention from the large audiencd who enjoyed the privilege of hearing till esteemed divine .who is among the first ministers of the State in talent and ability This closed the exercises of the Confer^ ence, which was well attended and most! hospitably entertained by the citizens, of Williamston, irrespective of/denomination. THE CARSWELL INSTITUTE. i Second Annual Commencement?Co Education of the Sexes Practically Successful?Au Interesting Occasion. On Wednesday, the 18th inst., the Cars . well Institute, an excellent institution for the co-education of the sexes, of high order, under the charge of Revs. E. R. Carswell and W. E. Walters, together with efficient assistants, situated near Milford's, in Hall township, celebrated its second annual com? mencement under the most pleasant and encouraging auspices. The hall, which is a moderately large room, was not near spa? cious enough to accommodate the large co. course of spectators, who numbered at least ONE THOUSAND PEOPLE in the morning. This contingency, how? ever, was not unexpected, and had been amply provided for by the erection of an extensive arbor, with seats prepared to ac? commodate a great number of persons. The exercises of the morning were opened by music from the Due West Cornet Band, after which prayer for the institution and its students was offered by Rev. J. I. Bonner, D. D., of Due West Female College, and was followed by another piece from the band. THE SALUTATORY, by Miss Annie D. Long, was beautifully written and well read. It was also followed by music from the band, after which the following little boys spoke from the subjects named: Willie Pruiett, "Pin Back;" Sam mie Bowen, "Who is boys, Man or Wo? man?" Willie Milford, "Fence or no Fence." Music followed, and compositions were read by Misses Minnie Adams, "Head in a Bucket;" Lucy Dean, "Vacation;" Rosa McPhail, "The Letters at School;" Lucia Walters, "How a man Hunts for Clean Clothes;" Rosie Dean, "A Little Child's Fancy;" and Sallie Pruiett, "Some? thing Impossible." Music again, Kollo wed by an amusing dialogue about "A Shuffling Witness," and the reading of "How an Irish? man Struck his Talent," by Miss Lula Long. Next the spelling class was called up, and an illustration of the workings of the school was given to the satisfaction and delight of patrons and visitors. After music from the band, readings were had from Misses Rosie Prince, '.'The Honey Bee;" Mattie Ramsey, "Prize Grange Song;" Ora Spoon, "A Gim? let is not a Cork Screw;" and Lily Milford, "Courting." After another charming piece from the band, speeches were made by Messrs. Walters Dean, "Whitewash;" Eu? gene Milford, "Triumph of Temperance;" Willie Mitchell, "Co-education of the Sexes;" Lawrence Dean, "How to Appear Wise." The band played again, and the next readers introduced were Misses Annie Gable, "Things we like to See;" Laura Ramsey, "A gallant Brother," and1 Mira Mitchell, "Kindness at Home." Speeches were made by Messrs. Claudius Dean, "The wonderful country"; James S. Starke, "Human Excellence not self-born," and Cal lie Harkness, "What a drunk man thinks." After music from the band, Rev. W. E. Walters introduced as an invited speaker for the occasion, Mr. E. B. Murray, who made an address upon the subject of "Men? tal Progress," at the conclusion of which the morning exercises were' closed, and the crowd enjoyed a bountiful repast upon the choice basket dinner which had been pre? pared by numerous ladies who were attend? ing the commencement.* IN THE AFTERNOON the crowd re-assembled at the arbor to wit> ness a continuation of the commencement exercises. Speeches were made by Messrs. John Earle, "Lee's Surrender;" Perry T?te, "Education;" Samuel J. Wakefield, "Confi? dence;" Jesse J. Moorheaxl, "Battle of War? saw," Robert F. Gray, "Degrading effects of Intemperance;" E. Calhoun Pruiett, "Lan? guage;" George T. T?te, "Immortality;" Joel L. Gassaway, "How long we live, not years but actions tell;" David M. Ramsey, "The Cataline of South Carolina." The following compositions were read by the ladies named: Misses Janie Ramsey, "A Plum(b) Country;" Lou Ramsey, "Sunset;" Carrie Gray, "Jack Brown's Wife on Trial;" Annie Long, "Jack Brown's Wife on Trial;" Florence T?te, "Will it Never End?" Julia Watkins, "Simply I, and nothing more;" Rosa Milford, "How Mrs. Susan Jane Ma? ria Ann Smith talked;". and Ann McPhail, "Our School Days." Miss Nannie*'Hark? ness personified the maniac with much suc? cess, and displayed great theatrical talent. TOE BAND interspersed these exercises with excellent pieces of music, and are entitled to the thanks of all who were present for the fre? quency and cheerfulness with which they contributed their important part of the pleasure of the day. The Due West Cornet Band is an organization of gentlemen pos? sessing fine musical talent, and are justly popular wherever they go. REV. J. I. BONNER, D. D., President of the Due West Female College, was invited to deliver a speech upon this occasion, and much to the delight of the audience, responded in an excellent address. He congratulated the country upon its polit? ical regeneration, and especially congratula? ted this section of Anderson County upon possessing such a fine educational institution in their midst as the Carswell Institute. He made a strong plea for the higher education of the ladies of our country, insisting that they should be afforded as high advantages as are given to our young men, and asserted the belief that girls arc as capable of improv? ing educational advantages as their brothers. He paid a very high compliment to Miss Harkness' rendition of the "Maniac," and said he did not believe there was a boy or young man in the audience who could have equalled it. After further dwelling upon the subject of female education, its impor? tance and advantages, Dr. Bonner closed with a wish for the long continued prosper? ity and usefulness of the Carswell Institute. This speech closed the exercises of the after? noon, and the crowd dispersed until 8 o'clock IN THE EVENING, at which time a large portion of it rc-assem blcd in the Institute Hall to. attend an en? tertainment given for the benefit of the Institute, at which a small admitte ice fee was charged, realizing, we learn, the sum of forty-seven dollars and thirty-five cejjts. The following plays, by ladies and gentle? men of the school, constituted a portion of the evening's exercises: "The Unwilling Witness," "Personating Olders," "Courting .Malindy," "A Windfall," "Out all Around," "Train- to Mauro," "Too Greedy by Half," and "Contest,"?a tragedy. Theso plays, which were well rendered, and produced much merriment and pleasure to the audi? ence, were interspersed with martial music from the Cornet Band, as well as the follow? ing delightful programme, which was ex? cellently rendered by the different ladies of the music class: Song, "Watching and Waiting"?by the School; song, "A Starry ? Night for a Ramble"?Miss Julia Watkins ; song, "Jewels"?by the children; song, "The Danube River"?Miss Ida Rice; and a duett, "As Gayly o'er the Sea we Glide"? Misses Janie Ramsey and Rosa Milford. The exercises were closed by a fine valedic? tory oration delivered by Mr. E. C. Pruiett. THE ORDER throughout the entire day was unusually fine, and the students acquitted themselves most creditably. Indeed, several of the original speeches of the young men and compositions of the young ladies would have been creditable to the pupils of any College in the State; and the-thoroughness and ability in instruction displayed at this cjmmenccment entitles the Carswell Insti? tute to rank high among the educational institutes of our State. I County Correspondence. SANDY SPBINGS. The Factory has been re-covered and is now undergoing a thorough brushing and general overhauling, so that it may be fully prepared to commence running just as soon as cotton can be had. Mr. B. F. Wilson, a man of experience and skill, is putting it in fine repair. The wool cards arc now ready for carding, nothing wanting save your wool to keep them in perpetual motion.We are happy to say we were visited last Wcdnfisday night and Thursday by beauti? ful and refreshing showers. The crops are looking finely and growing rapidly. No grass can be seen.Rev. W. M. Rampley, of Franklin County, Georgia, came over on the 20th inst., for the purpose of spending a few days with his relatives and friends in this locality. Mr. Rampley is one of Franklin's most influential and worthjT citizens. He is enjoying fine health, and is looking very well indeed.Our school is now prospering, and we hope it may con? tinue to grow in interest and numbers dur? ing tl.j session. Free schools are now open, therefore each and every child is al? lowed the estimable privilege of enjoying a portion, at least, of this great boon. Will they, especially those who are unable to educate their children without public aid, take advantage of the present opportunity? No. We are sorry to say we have some citizens?yea, neighbors?who are so irre? trievably blind to their own interest and to everything that is high and ennobling that they will not make the slightest effort to? wards the education of their children. Can such be tru'v called citizens? FORE. Mrs. Sallie Freeman died at her home at the old Sloan's Ferry place on the morning of last Friday, after a very short illness. She was the youngest daughter of Mr. Wm, Sears, being about twenty-three years of age. A year ago she married Mr. Edward Freeman, and leaves an infant not yet two weeks old.W.T. Hutchens, residing near Townville, and for a year or two suspected of trafficing in contraband whiskey, was arrested by the proper officer one day last week and taken to Anderson, where, in a preliminary examination, sufficient testimo? ny was adduced to warrant his commitment for trial at the approaching term of United States Court at Greenville. The accused is a young man of rather improvident habits, and has a wife and several small children. .Rev. J. B. Adgcr, to be assisted by Rev. D. E. Frierson, of Anderson, will conduct a three days meeting at Townville in this month, embracing the fifth Sunday, on which day the Sacrament will be commem? orated. We will state in this connection the gratifying fact that the Presbyterians are taking active steps toward, erecting a Church at Townville, and its completion at an early day may now be regarded as as? sured.We but express the opinion of others who are competent judges, and who have had occasion to know whereof they speak, when we report the crops in this township as superior in most respects to those of any other section within the Coun? ty's borders. Our farmers are among the most progressive of the times, aud it is en? couraging to note that a greater number of the young men. than has been usual, are betaking themselves to this pleasant, health? ful, and if rightly conducted, highly profi? table pursuit. The people of the Fork have abundant cause, we think, to hope that a season of substantial prosperity is dawning J upon them. HONEA PATH. ^ The farmers on Little Creek report dam? age to crops from the heavy rain on the morning of the 19th. This creek was higher than the June freshet of last year. There was some damage to crops on Broadmouth Creek, also.

There was a bell to call the hungry to dinner, as Mr. McM. sugges? ted there should be; and we doubt now if he thinks one at all necessary, but somehow all came forward, ate, were satisfied, and still there was a good sized cart load of pro? visions left. To make the grounds more in? viting, two circular rows of seats were placed near the head of the table, and be? tween these a neat rustic seat was made, while? overhead were suspended several hanging baskets, made of leaves and filled with choice flowers.

WILSON & REED, No. 7 Granite Row. THE BEST PUMP IN THE WORLD. NOTHING conduces more to GOOD HEALTH than PURE WATER. Such is fur? nished by the DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP, Manufactured by J. C. Nichols & Bro.i 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 weU, 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 gives complete satisfaction, as those acquainted with it will.testify. < It is a home enterprise, permanentlv established, and relies on its own merits, upon which it asks your patronage. This Pump is represented in Andersen and adjoining Counties, together with the Counties of Hart, Elbcrt, Wilkes and. Oglethorpe in Georgia, ALONZO L. WELCH, Anderson. S. C.

WATSON, Grange Agency,' No. 3 Benson Block, Anderson, S; C. CERTIFICATES. Anderson, July 2,1877. This is to certify that I purchased from J. W. Chapman & Co., last Summer, a No. 4 (9 feet long) Perpetual Evaporator, (gal? vanized iron,) with which I made over eight hundred gallons of Syrup' from Sor? ghum and Imphee canes. I made, under favorable circumstances, as high as ten gal? lons per hour, and think that I could make with suitable mill from 75 to 100. gallons per day. The Evaporator is simple in con? struction, easily operated, and makes an ar? ticle of Syrup unsurpassed by any other that I have seen. The cheapness, (as com? pared with others,) greater amount of boil? ing surface and simplicity of construction, certainly give it the pre-eminence over all others. JULIUS R. EARLE. Anderson, June 28,1877. John B. Watson, Agent Pomona Grange, Anderson County, S. C.: Dear Sir?Yours of the 26th inst., re? specting the merits of the ''Ghapraan Per? petual Evaporator, is received. In reply, I used a No. 2 (galvanized) Evaporator last year, at a cost of fifteen dollars, with which I made one thousand and fifteen gallons of molasses, equal in quality to any I liave seen, {-made from 40 to 50 gallons per day, (i. e? in ten hours.) The labor of making was fight and pleasant. It is so constructed that in operating requires but Tery little labor, much less than that of ,TCook'8 Evaporator." In fact, I feel warranted in saying that from observation and informa? tion of others, that the "Chapman Evapo? rator", has no superior, if-an equal, ana at less than half the cost. I can certainly re? commend it in preference to any other, be? ug fully convinced that a trial will satisfy auy one, however skeptical. To Patrons of Husbandry.?If we practice our professions in economy arid reform, you wiU buy "Chapman's Evaporator"?the cheapest and the best. Fraternally yours, PETER R. BROWN.
