Revs. Mike McGee, W. H. King and James K. Fant began an interesting meet ing at Neal's Creek Baptist Church on last Friday. Tho services, which ure solemn and impressive, secure large audiences, w hich nfford a prospect of thc accomplish ment of lunch good by them. * Tho speech delivered by Mr. William Bewley at the Commencement of the Caro lina Collegiate Institute last week was origi nal, unu notan extract as stated in our last issue.

Thc conductor and employees on thc Blue Ridge division of the Greenville A Columbia Railroad are advocates of the fence law, for if people oro required to fence in their stock, trains will not bc stopped nor hands sent ahead to drive out of the way of the eugine leon cows which arc too lazy to get off of thc track, oven to save their own lives. Every furnier who has not already done so should plant at least one ncie in corn sowed in tho drill for fodder. The amount of roughness to be derived from it cannot bc so easily and cheaply obtained in any other manlier. Give it n trial ono time, and you will loam a valuable lesson as to how to tevii yuUi who niui hillsea iii wliiior, WltU very little expenso.

A member of Neal's Creek Orange has in vented a new mode of freeing his swect I>otntoes from grass cfter the slips have been planted out.

The Greenville Club, which is composed of younger men omi 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, und had not become well acquainted with the rule? and practice of the game. The discipline of tho Green ville Club was exe* lieut, and Mr. Capers displayed line capacities as thc gcncrul of the game for the Greenville combatant.-, deserving, no doubt, much of thc success achieved by his Club. Thc Grcenvillians were s malle than thc Anderson players, and from thc beginning of the game had the sympathy of C.? audience, which in spired them und ?'.bcouraged our Club. Both sides won fro'tent applause by nu merous good plays. J. L.

The Evaporator is simplelu con struction, easily operated, and mnkes an ar ticle of Syrup unsurpassed by, my other that I have seen. Tho cheapness, (as com paied with others.) greater amount ol boil ing surface and simplicity of construction, certainly give it thc pre-eminence ow? all others. JULIUS lt. EARLE. ' ANDERSON, June 28, 1877. JOHN H. WATSON, Agent Pomona Grange, Anderson County, S. C. : DEAR Sm-Yours of the 20th inst., re specting tho merits of the "Chapman Per petual Evaporator, is received. In reply, I used a No. 2 (galvanized) Evaporator last year, at a cost or fifteen dollars, with which I mode one thousand and fifteen gallons of molasses, equal In quality to any I have seen, I meale, from 40 to 50 gallons per day, (i.e., in len hours.) The labor of making wa?, light aud pleasant. It is so constructed that In operating requires but very little labor, much less than that of .'Cook'H Evaporator." In fact, I feel warranted lu saying that from observation and informa tion of others, that the "Chapman Evapo rator" has no superior, if an equal, ona at less than half tho cost. I can certainly re commend it in preference to any other, bo ng fully convinced that a trial will satisfy any ono, however skeptical.
