THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. 1800 TO ADVERTISERS. lSOO The Anderson Iktellkjescer has the largest circulation of any country paper pubh'shed in the State, and lias more than three times the circulation of any other pa? per in Anderson County. We print and cir? culate regularly 1800 papers. Our list in the County has increased instead of dimin? ished, and we hope to receive a still greater increase during the coming fall. We are willing at any time to verify the above by an inspection of our subscription book, or our paper bills; or when desired, we will furnish advertisers with an affidavit of the correctness of our statement as to the circu? lation of the Intelligences. { BRIEF MENTION. - CorroK.?Middlings from 10 to 10i. Mr. Julius A. Daniels has just received a lot of fine jewelry for sale. He also does nice repairing. Persons wishing to purchase land would ?do well to read the three advertisements of .'places for sale in this issue. Rev. W. H. Strickland has been assisting Rev. W. T. Carter, in a protracted meeting ?at the Baptist Church iu Honea Path, this *week. The Anderson County Fair begins on next Wednesday, and articles for exhibition must be entered on that day. Come, and 'bring something to enter. A lot of Trial Justices' executions and At? torney's blanks are on hand at the Intelli? gencer job office, and will be sold as cheap as they can be bought anywhere else. Mr. D. S. Maxwell has erected a hand? some green house near his residence on Main street. It wiU be filled with beautiful flowers, and will be quite ornamental. Mr. J. W. Bailey, of the Fork Township, brought to our office last week a limb of cotton very heavily boiled. It had upon it seven full bolls in a space of five inches. We would ask the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Miss Delia Keys, which appears elsewhere. Miss Keys is an accomplished lady, and we bespeak for her a liberal patronage. Mr. John Kaufman is erecting a hand? some cottage for Mrs. Amanda Allen on the street north of the Carolina Collegiate Insti? tute and West of the residence owned by John E. Breazeale, Esq. ' Mr. R. Edmund Belcher has taken charge ?of the Intelligences job office, and will do "work as cheaply, as expeditiously and as neatly as it can be done anywhere in the ^ State. Send in your orders. Rev. Wm. Henry Strickland, requests us to announce that he will preach in his . church at this place, on next Sabbath morn j ing, at 11 o'clock, a. m., upon the subject, "Infant Baptism not of the Bible." The Pendleton Baptist Church will par? take of the Communion on next Sabbath morning, and in the afternoon two addi? tional deacons will be ordained. The ser? vices will doubtless be very solemn and im? pressive. Next week promises to be a gala week in Anderson. The festivities of the week are ?to be terminated by a grand Tournament Ball at the Waverly House. Extensive preparations are being made to render it a .?grand success. The business of Anderson has improved wery much this Fall, and persons who have 'bought here represent themselves as much pleased with this place as a market, and say '<hey save money by buying here. Come atnd see for yourselves. It is hoped by the Walhalla, Pendleton and Anderson people that the railroad au? thorities can be induced to arrange so as to run the construction train with a passenger coach from Anderson to Walhalla and re? turn every other day, so as to secure daily communication. Cudgo Thompson, a colored man of Mar 1 tin township, sent us a specimen of his make of sorghum, which is highly creditable to him. He is a very progressive colored man. He voted for Hampton and for the fence law, and is very industrious. He deserves the success he is achieving. We would call attention of those who have bought guano upon the cotton option plan, that the time for making payment in cotton expires on the first of November. It is to the interest of all farmers to pay these claims in cotton. See the advertise? ment of Messrs. Wilson & Reed. Look out for John G. Lindsey's Washing "Machine at the Anderson Fair next week. Mr. W. N. Payne has the right for Pickens, Oconee and Anderson Counties, and will s*>ll Township Rights. He will take pleas? ure in showing the operations of the ma? chine to those visiting the Fair 1* Hon. W. J. McGrath, President of the SoUth Carolina and Greenville ?& Columbia Railroads, and Col. Thos. Dodamead, Super intendant G. & C. R. R., passed through Anderson on Wednesday morning upon a special train. They did not, however, stop in Anderson longer than a few moments. See the advertisement of Messrs. Barr & Fant.r They are selling dry goods and gro? ceries at bottom prices, and the citizens of Anderson and adjoining counties can pro? cure their supplies from them as cheaply as at Greenville or elsewhere. They have a very large stock of bagging and ties for sale at very low prices. Willie Maddox, son of Mr. John Maddox, of Broadaway township, picked 300 pounds of cotton one day last week, and Charlie Cobb on the same day 200 pounds. Willie is only twelve years old, and hence is the champion cotton picker of the County, and as far as we have noticed of the State also. Who can beat him? We cannot publish any further contro? versy between ''Justice" and "Fact," Each side has been presented to the public, and there is no public end to be subserved by further comment. Brushy Creek and Wil? li amston Townships have a trial justice of their own selection, and there is no occasion to discuss the subject any more. We would ask the attention of our read? ers to the advertisement of Messrs. T. W, Davis <fe Co., of Greenville, S. C. They are among the largest dry goods merchants in the mountain city, and our readers who make Greenville their market will find these gentlemen prepared to supply their wants at the most reasonable rates. Call and see them. Mr. J. D. Maxwell announces in this issue tlmt he is now prepared to have photographs, (fee., taken or copied in elegant style at his art gallery, and we hope he will be liberaUy sustained in this business, which it is such a pleasure and convenience for any town to jxwsess. Capt. Wrenn, who is with Mr. Maxwell, is an accomplished artist, and makes a capital picture. Capt. James Adams, an oid citizen of the Southeastern portion of this County, died after a lingering illness of some months on last Manday afternoon, the 15th inst He was about sixty-eight years of age, and had many friends throughout the County. His remains were interred at Mt. Bethel "Church on Tuesday last, in the presence of a large concourse of his friends and acquaintances. Remember the Exhibition in Calisthenics which is to be given in the Masonic Hall on Friday evening, the 26th inst.. at 8 p. m. Maj. B. F. Whitner will deliver an address upon the subject of the exhibition, and a pleasant evening may be expected. Ad? mittance, 25 cents; children, 15cents. Pro? ceeds to go to Presbyterian Church. Tickets can be had at the drug stores and else? where. Rev. W. C. Smith preached his farewell sermon to the Presbyterian congregation at Pendleton on last Sahbath morning. It was an eloquent discourse, abounding in tender feeling. Mr. Smith goes to the meeting of the Synod next week, and will we hojie be assigned a new field of labor in our section. He is a most excellent gentleman, and any community will be fortunate in securing him as a citizen. We would call attention to the advertise? ments' of Mr. C. A. Reed, in another col? umn. There is no more reliable or courte? ous gentleman than Mr. Reed, and his many customers will find his store supplied with a full stock of goods, which lie will be Eleased to exhibit to his jiatrons. Renieni er his place of business is the east end of the Waverly House, and when you come to Anderson to trade pay him a visit. Mr. Moses Garrison was accidentally shot by the discharge of a pistol which he was examining in the hands of another person on Wednesday. It was not known that the pistol was loaded, and hence the accident. The wound we learn was not dangerous, as the ball, was a very small one and did not reach any vital point. We hope Mr. Garri? son will receive no serious inconvenience from the wound. For all kinds of plaiu or fancy job work come to the Intelligencer office instead of sending to other places. We have on hand a stock of excellent material, and are pre* pared to do plain and fancy work in one or more colors as expeditiousiy, as cheaply and as neatly as can be done elsewhere. Send in your orders for letter heads, bill heads, circulars, cards, invitations, statements, It.w blanks, haud bills, pamphlets, &c. Read the advertisement of Messrs. Jones, Davis & Bouknights which appears else? where in this paper. They have the most extensive retail ary goods establishments in the State. While in Columbia at the State Fair, or on other business, our readers should pay them a visit. The ladies in our midst who wish to purchase a fine line of dry goods, &c, can receive samples from these gentlemen by mail, and their orders will receive prompt attention. Capt. Frank Robertson, an old and re? spected citizen of this County, died at his residence on last Monday, the 15th inst., after a long illness. He was about eighty seven years of age, and leaves several sons and daughters, with a host of friends, to mourn his death. He was an upright and hightoned citizen, and on Tuesday a large attendance gathered at Honea Path to pay the last tribute of earth to the departed one, whose remains were interred in the church yard there. The meeting at Lowndesville on last Sat? urday, in the interest of the Anderson and Savannah Valley Railroad was well at? tended and enthusiastic. Speeches were made by Messrs. E. M. Rucker. J. S. Mur? ray, W.*C. Brown, Thos. Thompson, W. K. Bradley and E. R Murray, after which res? olutions approving of the plan of County and township subscriptions by taxation, and pledging Lowndesville township to vote a subscription of twenty-five thousand dollars were unanimously adopted. On next Saturday a mass meeting will be held near Calhoun's Mills, in Abbeville Couuty, and similar action is expected there. We would ask the attention of the public to the advertisement of Messrs. A. B. Tow? ers & Co. They are selling dry goods and groceries this season at prices which not only compete with the other live houses in Anderson, but also with the most enterpris? ing houses of the other up-country towns. Mr. Towers has been a merchant of Ander? son for many years. , and has established a reputation for reliability and business skill which has made his store very popular with purchasers. The reduction of prices which the lower freights have enabled them to make will render their store more popular than ever. When trading in Anderson give tbem a trial and you wiU be pleased. CONFECTIONERY, TOYS, &C. Messrs. Andrew & Vandiver announce to the public this week that they have entered into a copartnership,'and are prepared to sell to their customers all kinds of confec? tioneries, toys, potted meats, etc., &c?in? deed nearly everything that is calculated to please the appetite or fancy of men, ladies and children. Read their advertisement, and remember them when you come to purchase. They have all articles at the low? est prices. A SMITTEN FAMILY. During the past tour days Mr. John C. Shaw has lost three interesting little chil? dren from diphtheria and membranous croup, the oldest of which was about five years of age. On last Sunday two?Olden and Golden?died, and on Tuesday their little bodies were placed to rest in a single grave in Mt. Bethel Church Yard. On Wednesday morning the little infant daugh? ter, Minneola, was gathered by the reaper from earth, and to-day her body will be in? terred by the side of those who had so short? ly preceded her. The afflicted family have the sympathy of the entire community in their very sore bereavement./ AMUSEMENTS DURING THE FAIR. We are authorized to state that our com? munity is to be treated with some very fine and highly amusing comediettas, to begiven during the week of the forthcoming fair, the proceeds of which are to be appropriated to the fund for building a Rectory for the Episcopal Church. These delightful enter? tainments will be given on Wednesday and Thursday nights, 24th and 25th instants, at the Masonic Hall, beginning at 8 o'clock. Admission, 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. Refreshments, such as hot coffee, oysters, etc., will be supplied at mod? erate rates, and the entertainments promise to be most agreeable in every respect. SCHEDULE CHANGED. Commencing on last Monday the schedule on the Blue Ridge division of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad was changed so as to run only tri-weekly trains from Ander? son to Walhalla. The nights upon which the trains goes to Walhalla are Tues? days, Thursdays and Saturdays, and Mon? day, Wednesday and Friday mornings it returns; The nours of running remain unchanged except as stated above. This is a very serious inconvenience to all points from Anderson to Walhalla, and es? pecially so to points above Anderson, which will hereafter be restricted to only three trains a week, and only receive tri-weekly mails. It is an inconvenience to the town of Anderson, not only as it abridges their means of travel, but also throws their Northern and Western mails twenty-four hours behind, for these mails will hereafter be brought via Belton and reach here so late at night as to be generally not received un? til the following morning. The reason assigned by the company for this change is that the road above Anderson is not paying expenses. We suppose the daily trains will be put upon the road again next summer, when the travel to the moun? tains begins. Until then we will have to stand the inconvenience occasioned by the new schedule. W. W. COLE'S HEW AND GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH. Read the advertisement of Cole's Cir? cus, which will exhibit at this place on Tuesday the 30th inst, at the reduced admittance of fifty cents for grown per? sons, and then read the following com? ments from a leading Southern paper: The long expected arrival of W. W. Cole's Circus, Menagerie, Museum and Trained Animal Exposition of Wonders took place yesterday. The show busi? ness now seems to run to consolidations, in which the aim is to include the old style circus, menageries, museums and an aggregation of shows exceeding the small affairs of a few years ago as much as can be imagined. In carrying out his plan Mr. Cole did not stop with merely one or two collections but gathered in at once the Great New York Circus, Trained Animals, etc.; that of the famous New Orleans Menagerie, Museum, etc., and collossal aggregation of the World's Won? der Exhibition, massed in one grand city of tents of monster proportions. In or? der to keep pace with the times Mr. Cole has reduced his price of admission for adults to 50 cents; children under 9 years of age, 25 cents. So great has been his success since the inauguration of cheap rates for the people, that he has been compelled to enlarge his exhibition tents to more than double their former capaci? ty to accommodate the tens of thousands who patronize this great show daily at ail points where it exhibits. Naturally, a street procession of an exhibition like this is sufficient to attract no small at? tention of itself. The parade yesterday more than justified aU that has been said of the show. The chariots and splendid costumes, with all the pharaphernalia of a circus, were of the most elaborate and costly description; but the success of the affair is as much owing to the artistic taste of the proprietor as the lavish ex? pense which he has entered into. The performance in the tents was fully wor? thy of the parade in public. The zoolog? ical departments was fully represented. The rare wild beasts, birds and reptiles, the trained animals, magnificent speci? mens of oceanic lions in the sub-aquatic mansions, made up a monster exhibition which would go far to disprove the late "A. Ward" that the show business has by no means "seen its panniest day." We commend W. W. Cole's Great Show to the public and the press generally throughout the South.?Louisville Courier Journal. Sickly children may be restored to health and beauty by the use often cents' worth of Shriners Indian Vermifuge. Do not let your I children be dragged to the grave by worms. County Correspondence. SARD? SPRINGS. Messrs. T. L. Reid and D. A. Zeagler vis? ited Walhalla a few days ago. They found the village prospering, and great improve? ments, both public and private, being made. The educational advantages of Walhalla are evidently on the increase, judging from the number of pupils contained In both the male and female colleges. The Adger Col? lege now number one hundred pupils. The Smeltzer College sixty. Walhalla is un? doubtedly composed of an energetic and en? terprising set of men. We wish them God's speed in the great work of education.Mrs. B. F. Wilson departed this life on the after? noon of the 9th inst. She was ill for four months, a victim of consumption. The funeral services were conducted the follow? ing afternoon, at Sandy Springs, by Rev. J. T. Attaway, after which the body was re? turned to mother earth. The relatives of the deceased have the sympathy of the en? tire community In their sore bereavement. .Mr. Henry Sitton, (the Secretary of the Factory,) has opened the store at the Fac? tory, which contains a full stock of goods, and is now selling cheap for cash. RAILROAD MEETING. The meeting at Sherard's Store on Wed? nesday, the 10th inst., was not largely at? tended but was composed of a number of representative men from the Dark Corner. Dr. J. H. Reid was elected President, and Capt. J. T. Barnes was requested to act as Secretary, after which speeches were made by Messrs. A. G. Cook, E. M. Rucker, J. S. Murray, J. C. C. Featherston, B. P. Whitner and E. B. Murray. The following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas we, a portion of the citizens of Dark Corner township, in meeting assem? bled, are in favor of the Savannah Valley Railroad enterprise; and, whereas, we favor the plan of County, Town and Township taxation for the purpose of building said Road. Therefore be it Resolved, That we call a meeting of the citizens of said township, to be holden on Friday, 2nd day of November, 1877, to sub? mit the question of taxation to the people of said township. Resolved, That we urge this view upon the people, and will use our best endeavors to have a full attendance at said meeting. Resolvsd, That the action of the present meeting be published in the Anderson papers. J. H. REID, Chairman. J. T. Barnes, Secretary. Mr. Editor: As "Rusticus" has not been furnishing you dots from this section lately, I send you a few lines. Martin township embraces the section of Anderson County formerly known as "Mohawk Beat," and it was one of the points of general muster in this County before the war. Although this "Beat" was named "Mohawk," it would have been rather unpleasant for a stranger to have attended one of these general musters and have called out "Mohawks." He would have received the attentions of the whole company.When the County was divided into townships this "Beat" was named Mar? tin township, in honor of Col. John Martin, who is one of its oldest and most honored citizens. He has been Sheriff of Anderson County, and filled other public offices. He is now in his 84th year, and is still strong and vigorous. He walks out a mile or two every day. He is a member of the Meth? odist Episcopal Church South, and is re? spected by all his neighbors.Mrs. Shirley is erecting a handsome dwelling on the road leading through this township to Belton. .Mr. Reuben Clinkscales is erecting a commodious residence of brick near the popular mills which are owned by him and bear his name.Ebenezer Church is in this township, and is one of the oldest places of worship in this County, having been located over seventy-five years ago. It has attached to it a large grave yard, which is kept in the neatest order. In it are the graves of many persons who have been prominent in this section, and among them that of Robert Breckenridge, who was a famous teacher in this part of the County. His grave has no tomb, and we think the many scholars taught by him should unite to erect a monument over his grave.Pro? fessor C. L. Reed has a flourishing school in our midst. He has been teaching in this settlement for eleven years, and is very much liked by his patrons. ALPHA. TOWlTvTXLE. We are having lovely weather, and our farmers appear to be employing their time profitably.The health of this community was probably never better than at present; and with fine weather, a delightful country, abundant crops and, above all, good health, it seems that we should be contented and happy.Mr. Charles B. Sullivan has em? barked into the mercantile business, having, as we understand, recently opened an ex? tensive stock of family groceries at his resi? dence near Harrison's Mill.We hope our people will remember the public meeting at Townville on next Saturday, 20th instant. Speeches are to be delivered by Messrs. Russell and Rncker, and perhaps others, on topics of general interest, and though the meeting is to be held under the auspices of the Grange, everybody is invited and earn? estly requested to attend.Dr. Smeltzer failed to meet his congregation at Double Springs on Sunday last, Dut will be expected on the second Sabbath of next month, at which time the holy sacrament will be ad? ministered.Messrs. W. C. McCarley and J. A. Gaines have just returned from Charles ton, whither they have been replenishing their respective stocks.The County Com? missioners have put the private and seldom frequented highway, leading from Snow Hill over into the Tugalo plantations and to a third-class Georgia grocery, in first rate traveling order. This work would, were it not for a number of gates that obstruct the way, meet the approbation of a goodly number of our boys, and will doubtless be a great convenience to a few planters in that sequestered locality.The Tugalo Associa? tion, which convenes with Reed Creek Church, Hart County, Ga, commences next Friday, the 19th inst., embracing the third Sabbath of this month.As we cannot concur with "Romulus," "that a person in this community can hear anything ne wants to hear," we must confess that with this our stock and fund of news is exhausted; not? withstanding we frequently hear that which we do not wish to hear, and as our "dreamer" has bad no remarkable or extraordinary visions of late, we must desist for the time being. G. N. C. B. OUR BOOK TABLE. The Carolina Farmer is a monthly agri? cultural magazine published at Wilming? ton, N. C. Its typography is neat and its editorial management is able. The most practical advantage it has is dependent upon the fact that it is published in a section of country similar to ours, and therefore all of its reading matter would be beneficial to our planters. It is a southern enterprise, which promise much success to its proprietors. Among the many publication houses in America, that of Messrs. John E. Potter & Co. stand among the first for reliability and business enterprise. They publish nearly one hundred styles of bibles, and, from the handsomest to the cheapest editions, they are neat and substantial. They received the highest award on these at the Centen? nial Exhibition. They are also publishers of many educational and literary works, such as Potter's Popular Encyclopedia, Pot? ter's American Monthly, &c., which rank high among the publications of this age. We commend these gentlemen to the pat? ronage of our readers. For their address, &c, see their advertisement in another column. Now and Then. It is only now and then that such men as Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, Ex-Gov. Smith and Ex-Gov. Brown, of Ga., endorse a med? icine for the throat and lungs, and when they do it is pretty good evidence that the remedy must be good for the cure of coughs, colds and lung affections. They recommend the Globe Flower Cough Syrup, and their testimonials are to be seen round the ten cent sample bottles of the Globe Flower Syrup, for sale by SIMPSON, REID & CO. A sample bottle relieves the worst cough, and will cure sore throat. Regular size bottles, fifty doses, $1. Astonishing Success. It is the duty of every person who has used Boschee's German Syrup to lot its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without immediate relief. Three doses w ill relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Drug? gists to recommend it to the poor dying consnmp'ive at least to try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was re? ported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup ennnot be too widely known. Ask your Druggist about it. Sample Bottles to try sold at 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents. For sale by all druggists in U. S. OUR GRANGE COLUMN. Under the Supervision of the Executive Committee of Pomona Grange. FRUIT TREES. By resolution adopted in Pomona Grange, the whole matter of collecting and ordering fruit trees for the Granges of Anderson County was referred to Jonn B. Watson, who will receive all orders and forward the same to the most favora? ble bidder for the order. All orders should be in his hands by the 15th of November at farthest. The prices can be ascertained from our Agent at Ander? son, and the cash deposited with him to secure any order desired. The terms are very favorable, and now is the time to secure your fruit trees. THE COUNTY FAIR. The County Agricultural Fair will be opened next week at Anderson, and in order to make it a reasonable success, every farmer and granger in the County ought to feel interest enough in it to be present as exhibitor or interested specta? tor. They should bring along their sam? ples of produce or handi-work without any regard to carrying off the premium. High-minded exhibitors have very little care whether a premium is awarded to them or not. They have a higher and more commendable object in view. They seek to improve the condition of the country by honorable comparison and fair competition in the results of the year's production, whether by agricul? tural or othir industrial acquisitions. Should they fail to carry off the distinc tion conferred by receiving a premium, they have contributed to the success of i the Fair, and to the edification of their fellow competitors. And if, per chance they go away under the impression that their own specimen was the more meri? torious, notwithstanding the premium was awarded to his neighbor, they have the manliness to console the disappoint? ment by frankly admitting the correct? ness of the award, or if not strictly cor? rect, then have the generosity to admit that it may have been an error of judg? ment on the part of the committee and not of intention, and go away with the determination of returning next year with a more pointed excellence of the goods exhibited. Besides, it often occurs that two or uiore articles are so nearly equal in excellence as to make a difficult task for a committee to declare a differ? ence and award a premium. Hence it often happens that a premium is taken by a very small superiority over its com? petitor. In such cases no parties should take exception to the action of the com? mittee, feel disappointment or be dis? couraged. So let us all go to the Fair, taking with us everything that can con? tribute to its success, not leaving behind a heart filled with generosity and charity for the short comings of others. THE STATE EAIR To be held in Columbia, commencing on the 13th and closing on the 16th of No? vember, is near at hand, and should com? mand the attention of Grangers, farmers, merchants and all other blasses of indus? try in the State. The talent of some of our best men are already being extensive? ly exerted to make it a success. The pride and patriotism of our people, and of our Grangers particularly, should prompt them to energy and activity to aid and assist the accomplishment of a result so nearly connected with the gen? eral interest, prosperity and welfare of all classes of citizens. It is expected that the railroads will make some favorable concessions in favor Of visitors to', tie Fair, and we should like to see every? body go, and be sure to carry along some? thing to exhibit. The editor of the "Agricultural De? partment" of the Charleston News and Courier makes the following sensible sug? gestions in reference to a practical appli? cation of benefits that may accrue to Grange men, which we should be glad to see carried into practice: "We suggest that the master of the State Grange request the three hundred Subordinate Granges each to send two delegates to the Fair, (their expenses and admittance to be paid as each Grange thinks proper,) for the purpose of ob? taining useful information for the benefit of the Granges represented. If these delegates would meet in Columbia Mon? day night of Fair week and appoint com? mittees among themselves, they could the next day examine the articles on ex? hibition, and on Tuesday night meet again and report the result of their ex? amination, and discuss the merits of the articles examined. This could be re? peated every day and night till the close of the Fair; and he would be indeed a dull man who would not during the time gather a vast deal of information worth carrying hack to his Grange. Many fine points in the several breeds of animals ; the advantages of certain improved im? plements ; household receipts, and gen? eral information of every character could thus in a single week be gathered, and in as short a time distributed all over the State that would be incalculably valua? ble to our farmers and people generally. We suggest, however, that the citizens of Columbia and the Master and Execu? tive Committee of the State Grange should call for excursion trains at a pas? senger rate of about a cent per mile each way, to be run by all the railroads into Columbia on Monday and Tuesday, and out again on Friday and Saturday of Fair week. Thousands will by this means be induced to go, who will, at the old half-fare rates, stay at home. Co? lumbia had better hire the trains and run them at this low rate of travel than not have it done. They will be reimbursed. The people remember those summer ex? cursion trains, and know the railroads were well paid. Why will the railroads not help the Fair that much, if they will be paid for it, too ? The railroads can make our Fair a success. i1 THE LARGEST AND THE CHEAPEST LOT OF COOKING STOVES Ever brought to Anderson, WHICH I will deliver in my Wagon at any place on the Greenville & Columbia Railroad, from Williamston down to Cokes bury, At Greenville Prices.
