Do not wait, for your neighbors to make the show, but contribute a portion of it by showing specimens of your own growth or manufacture. The fruits, grains, cotton and grasses of our farms, arc well worth ex hibition. The stock-horses, cattle and hogs-should also be displayed. There Ls no charge for anything that is exhibited, and ii costs nothing to go in and seo the exhibition. Let us all, then, work to inuke the display commensurate with the occa sion. THE WAVERLY HOUSE. This well located hotel in AndcrHon bas changed hands, Capt. T. P. Benson relinquishing and Mr. E. E. Kee.se as Huming charge of it. Wo learn that Mr. Keene will bo assisted in the manage ment of tho hotel by Mrs. L. E. Cochran, his mother-in-law, and wo have no doubt that it will bo kept up to tho standard of a first class hotel. Our citizens should endoavor a? fur ns possible to render tho maintenance of a tip-top lintel in Ander son, not only possible, but necessary. We hope tho now management will not only have to depend upon transient cus tom for putronago hoi that they will havo many permanent boarders. A good hotel adds greatly to tho prosperity of a town, and tho business public should feel that they are interested in tho suc c?s i of an enterprise of this kind us well as thc proprietors thomsolvos. AH EXTRA TE All?. Wc are glad to learn that the Greenville <fc Columbia Railroad has established an extra train front Belton to Anderson on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, which is run in connection with thc freight trains, so as to enable persona to come to Anderson from Hodge's Depot and intermediate points and return upon the same day, after remain ing five hours in town. Thc same is true ns to Wllliamston also. The return train leaves Belton a little after nine in the morn ing and reaches Anderson at fifteen minutes past ten, and after remaining over fiva hours returns at half-past three, reaching Belton after four, in time for thc down freight. If our business men utilize this change it can be made beneficial to thc mercantile inter ests of our town. SOSXCISS. On hut Thursday, thc 2Gih ult., a diffi culty occurred upon a plantation of Mr. Sam'l. Hutchison, in this County, near Ixjwndcsvillc, between two colored men named Scott Davis and Alex. Harris, in which the former killed tho latter. There aro conflicting rumors as to thc origin of the difficulty, but in any ease it was ovor some trilling matter that thc quarrel began. It, however, ended in an attack upon Davis by Harris. Thc former retreated to his house, where he got his gun and shot the latter while advancing upon him, lodging fifty four shot in bys breast, from which he soon died. An inquest waa hold by J. L. Bryant, Esq., acting Coroner, and Davis was com mitted to jail to await bis trial. THE FEROE DISCUSSION. We would suggest to the -xlvocates of the "fence law" that lt would bc well to arrange for a meeting In every township between thc 13th and the 17th of August. This will bc thc last week, and meetings projverly con ducted will contribute much to thc adop tion of this important n;".5ure. If three or four townships meet on thc same day they can all be supplied with good speakers, and by having meetings nt thc last good results om ho accomplished. Send hi thc notices of public meetings before next Wednesday, that they may be published. We hope the citizens of every township will adopt this suggestion. ^ BASE BALL AT PENDLETON.

We had the pleasure a few days ago of visiting Dr. Adger's farm. This farm is under the supervision of Mr. D. F. Russell, a gentleman of unlimited experience, judging from the skill manifested in thc cultivation of the soil and thu value and beauty of tho growing crops. Mr. Russoll has a field of three acres of rom that will yield sixty or seventy-five bushels to the acre, provided he has good seasons from this on. Wc ulso enjoyed looking at the Doctor's fine stock, especially his milch cows. He has some of tho finest specimens of tho Brahmin and Jersey sleek.Last Saturday afternoon a number of the citi zens, both white und colored, assembled at Sandy Springs Grange Hall to discuss thc fonce question. Both sides were represen teil, although very little was said on thc negative that hod any great or direct bear ing upon tho subject under consideration Thc affirmative-that is, the stock law-was amply and ably discussed by Mr. W. W Russell. He unravelled many of the appa rently intricate und instirruountob's diScu! tics connected with this question, and an swered sutisfuctorily to every reflecting mind all tho objections that liavo been urged against its advancement. If tho peo ple vould throw aside selfish motives, fogy ism and be convinced that this law, if passed, will inevitably prove untold bless ings to all classes, of whatever order or dis tinction, they would voto solidly in its favor. Mr. D. H. Russell being present was asked to give his experience 'tudor the ?tock law. Mr. Russell lived eight years under this law in Benton County, Indiana, as a tenant, where it was in full force, wo, king successfully and giving general satisfaction to all classes. Besides this, lie said it had a tendency to make men better men ; it im proved them in their customs ana habib;, and made bettor citizens of them generally. If so small a thing can accomplish such grjut things thc law is indispensable in this country. Maj. T. H. Russell was also pres ent mid made a few 1111161}' and valuable remarks, principally to thc colored men, urging them to go with us in this effort as they did in thc lust campaign, und success would crown their offorts. Mr. R. M. Burns represented tho other side. Tho meeting passed off with remurkubly good order and decorum, with the exception of n few wonts thoughtlessly uttered by the last speaker. otra UntJrjr the Supervision of the Exeoutivo Committee of Pomona Grange. Pomona Grange adopted a resolution at its last meeting appointing the Worthy Master and Overseer of every subordinate Orange a committee to take up a small collection from their respective Granges, to supplement tho appropriation of Pomona Grange, to defray tho expenses that may be incurred in providing for the meeting of the State Grange at Anderson on thc 6th oj' August next. Payment may bo made to the Treasurer or Secre tary of Pomona Grange. This is an im portant matter, and we sincorcly hope will not bc rejected by our Worthy Mas ters and Overseers, if each Grange vM? collect and send up fron one to tarea dollars, tho amount will supplement the sum on hand, and cnablo the committees to carry out in good order tho arrange ment contemplated. Everybody will bo pleased to have good music on the Fair Ground, and musicians must be paid for good music this hot weather. _ SECRETARY P. G., P. H. Southern Home School.
