It was a very lapse potato and was well shaped for one ofits unusual weight. It was the finest one we have seen during this year. ? We are requested to announce that there will be a Musical Association organized at Betheada Church, Brushy Creek Township, Saturday August 3rd, at 10 o'clock a. m. All Churches in the Township are invited ; to attend and participate in said organiza? tion. The colored man that fell from the second story window during the entertainment Friday evening, at the Masonic Hall, we are glad to learn, was not materially hurt,, al? though they say his head struck the side* walk first He was not a member of the society.' In accordance with a resolution passed by the Anderson Division, 8. of T., requesting the ministers of our town to preach on the subject of Temperance, the Rev. H. F. Chrietzberg has consented to preach on this subject on Sunday night next at the Methodist Church. The Anderson Democratic Glob will hold its regular meeting Friday afternoon at 6 o'clock, in the Masonic Hall. Hon. R. W. Simpson will deliver an address. Members are requested to be punctual in attendance, as business of importance will be brought before the meeting. We take this opportunity to thanfc jars. John M. Moorhead for some very excellent Sugar Plums Bent us. They were light col- ? ored and averaged five inches around. This excellent fruit should be extensively cuJti- | rated. Mrs. Moorhead has a fine orchard and succeeds well with her fruit. ' The congregation of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, atPendleton, are most fortunate in having secured the services of Rev. Wm. M. Handele, of Charleston, as Rector. Mr. Hanckel is a pleasant and intelligent gentle mart, who is quite an acquisition to the town of Psndletorf. He is an earnest, and at times an eloquent speaker and is very mach admired and liked by his new con? gregation. It will be rejn^riibered that the anniver? sary of the "Bed Shirt" organization at Pen dleton will be celebrated at that place on the 23d of August, as mentioned in our last issue. Gen. Humphreys has received and accepted an invitation for his Brigade to be present. The celebration gives promise of great success. Several prominent gentle? men are expected to address the people on that occasion. Onthe.afternoon of the eclipse, heavy clouds obscured the sun. until about ten I minutes to six o'clock, when it was not one fourth eclipsed. The moon passed off at the soutli eastern portion of the sun's disc. Many astronomers had a fine view of the eclipse along the line of its totality. Whilst it wzs comparatively a failure here, we had a rain which refreshed the parched vegeta? tion vwy mach. Messrs. C A. Reed and J. E. Peoples have purchased the right for the. sale of The Great American Fruit Dryer, winch they are having manufactured, and will have on hum! for sale. Every one should call and examine this great invention, with which you can dry fruit in three hours, better than any oth?r way. The fruit dried by this Dryer, commands a better price than that dried in the usual way.

Elias McGee, accompanied by their staff officers, and Maj. J. N. Vandiver,'y>f the Eastern Regiment The companies were well attended, ana mo pursue jhuvou to be a very great success. The officers and men shew great proficiency, and the com panics went through the various move? ments with a skill which would hare been creditable to men with doable their prac? tice. After the chilling.was over, the con? course of people, which probably numbered one thousand, assembled by the Church, and were addressed upon the political situa? tion by Messrs. John B. Moere, E.

(Humphreys presided over the meeting, and appropriately introduced the speakers, who made short and pointed speeches, at the conclusion of which dinner was announced, and the crowd gathered in small parties around the numerous baskets of goo? tilings j which had been-provided to revive the inner man, and from the hearty appetites of which they gave evidence, we can safely testify that the repast was both abundant and tempting. In the afternoon the young people gathered at Mr. Long's gin house, and for several hours defied the thermome? ter's proclamation of heat by engaging most ardently in the dance. Everything passed off very pleasantly, indeed, and all present testify that the day was an interesting one. TOWHTOLE. Providence Democratic Club, Oconee County, baa nominated Maj. A. R.

Pursuant to a will made by the Prosidsmt of the Anderson Farmers' and Mechanics' Association, the ?tockholdcrs met in the Court House on Monday the 29th inst. The President stated the object of the meeting to be for the election of officers to serre for the ensuing year, and for the transaction of Much other business as might be brought before the meeting. A majority of the stock being represented, it was moved tbat the old officers, to wit? B. F. Crayton, President; F. E. Harrison, Vice President: J. L. Tribble, Secretary and Treasurer; W. W. Humphreys, j. W. Nor ris, D. j. Shearard, W. H. D. Gaillard and J. W. Prevost, Directors?be re-elected by acclamation, which was adopted. The President then returned bis thanks to the stockholders for the honor conferred upon him as an expression of their renewed confidence. He stated that he had thought to decline a re-election, so as to let some one else fill the place. That he was afraid that some might think him selfish in hold? ing on to this, after being elected President of the State Agricultural Association, but, if the stockholder wished him to remain as the President, he was still ready and will? ing to do all he could toward making An? derson County the Banner County of the State in her agricultural interests. That he was giving much of bis time in the interest of the State Agricultural Association, and hoped the farmers of Anderson County would also take an interest in it, and lend both their products and their presence to the next State Fair. That he felt satisfied that they would continue to assist him in making the County Fair a success. The following delegates were appointed to attend the summer meeting of th* Stab; Agricultural Association in Spartanburg, with power to appoint their alternates if they should not be able to attend, to wit: j. W. Prevost, W. H. D. Gaillard, W. j. Ligon, J. Belton Watson and P. K. Mc Cully. ? ? After transacting other business of less importance, the meeting adjourned sine die. j. L. Tribble, Secretary. A. CARD. Mr. Editor: Recognizing the wisdom o:f Gov. Hampton's advise, that "the people should select their best men for the Legis? lature, and require them to serve," we pre ? sent Hon. H. R. Yandiver to the Democ? racy of the County for re-election to thc House of Representatives. If high charac? ter, long experience, a mind capable of ap? preciating the wants of tbe people, and a steadfast devotion to thoir interest, consti? tute a claim to their confidence and sutfcr age, then his friends, confident of success, ask him to go before the people at their pri? mary election. Capt. Vandiver's character and record are too well known to the people of the County to need any extended notice here. We be? lieve he has served longer in the Legislature than any man in the County now available I for tbe position, and during the many years of this service, both before and since <hc war, tbe record will show as close attention to the duties of his position on bis part ts that of any Representative who served du? ring the same terms. The firmness and courage with which he stood by his Demo? cratic brethren in the dark and perilous days of November, '76, is sufficient guaran? tee that if by any misfortune those^vil days should return, he will not be found want? ing in those qualities which sav-'d the State in that hour of her extremest -?eed. In the Legislature, Capt. ^andiver is emi? nently a working member. His friends do not claim that he is a .>reat speaker, and they are not so sure bn tbat this is in some measure a recoramen^ion, for it is feared that the extreme W8*h of the legislative aaesions of late yeva is owing to too much "Buncombe spt'^ng" and not enough work.

Strickland, Chairman. W. S. Ligon, Secretary. A CARD. To the Democratic Clcim ok Anderson: Having been nominated by several of the leading Clubs for re-election to the House of Representatives, I feel itincunibchtupon me to acknowledge my most sincere thanks for the honor they have conferred upon me, but to say to them that it will be impossible for me to serve. Having devoted most of the last four years to the public service, I have neglected my privato affairs and pro? fession, so that they now require my per? sonal attention. During my two terms of office, I have used every effort in supporting Gov. Hamp? ton, and for the best interest of the Demo? cratic party, the people of Anderson, and the State of South Carolina; and it affords me infinite gratification to have my course endorsed by the Democrats of this Coun%. If it were necessary .that I should serve again I would make the sacrifice, but such not being the case, I must respectfully de? cline t? allow my name use d. I have only to ask that you select the best men, and those who are thoroughly in accord with Gov. Hampton and his atfministration. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Jas. L. Orr. Hood Digestion. "Give us this day our daily bread" and good medicine to digest it, is both reverent and human. The human stomach and liver are fruitful sources of life's; comforts: or, disordered and diseased, they tingle misery along every nerve and through every artery. The man or woman with good digestion see beauty as they walk, ami overcome obstacles tliey meet in the routine of life, where the dyspeptic sees only gloom and stumbles and growls at even imaginary objects. The world still needs two or three new kinds of medicine before death can be perfectly abol? ished; but that many lives have been pro? longed, and many sufferers from Liver dis-. ease, Dyspepsia and Headache, have been cured by Merrell'h Hei'atine, Is no lontrer a doubt.
