THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. BEIEF MENTION. Cotton?Middlings, 8 to 81. Eggs are in demand at 10 cents per dozen. Tbe Lowndcsvillc boys play "prartieal jokes." The weather continues disagreeable, but is not very cold. Anderson is among the few counties in the State that have no forfeited lands There is a young man in this County that has postponed marrying until cotton rises. The family of Mr. E. G. Evans have ? moved into the house recently occupied by Mr. Samuel E. Craig. Anderson, S. C, is now a better cotton market than Augusta.?JIartwell Sun, Gr any other inland market. There have been fewer horses and mules brought to this market for sale this season than for several years past. Persons communicating to our represen? tatives in the Legislature should address them at the Virginia House. The sale of the delinquent lands, adver? tised to take place on last Monday, has been postponed to the IGth inst. Mr. E. P. Earle has recently erected a handsome and commodious dwelling at bis Beavcrdam place, in Oconec County. The Carolina Collegiate Institute and Willianiston Female College close their fall sessions respectively on the 6th and 20th instants. ? Persons entitled to premiums awarded at-the last County Fair can get them by calling at tbe office of the Secretary, Mr. J. L. Tribble. Mr. E. T. 'Coshine, the operator at this place, reqnests us to say that the telegraph office is open every Sunday from 9 to 10 a. ru. and from 8 to 0 p. m. The "Revenues" don't relish such jokes as the Lowndesville boys deal in, and we venture the opinion that they won't spend another night in that section again soon. Mr. James Anderson is full}' prepared to supply his customers with Christmas goods of every description. Be sure to give him a call, as ke is in every respect worthy of your patronage. A friend told us the other day that the announcement of our purpose to secure a list of all the preachers that went to the circus kept them away. Well, that ac? counts for so many vacant seats on Friday. Salcday passed off quietly, and only a few pieces of real estate were sold. The busiest men in town were the horse-swappers, sev? eral dozen in number, all of whom carried home different critters from what they brought. The firing of a pistol in the hearing of a "Revenue" by anybody else except himself is an unpardonable sin, and the perpetrator of such a foul deed deserves to be hung by the toDgue in the highest tree in Abbeville County, and his body left for food of carniv erous birds. Remember that the old firm of E. B. Murray & Co. are anxious to close up their business, and that all who are indebted to them, either for advertising or subscription, would confer a very great favor by calling at the Istelligexcee office at once and set? tling up. "We were pleased to meet our esteemed friend and neighbor, Mr. D. A. Smith, of tbe Kannte Courier, in Anderson on last Friday, who was down on bnsiness. The Courier has just entered upon its fourteenth volume, and is one of the best country papers in the State. Mr. Wo. E. Tagctt, formerly of this County, but a citizen of Ellis County, Texas, since the fall of 1871, died on the 19th ult., of pulmonary consumption, in the 50th year of his age. Mr. Pagctt was well known in this County, having been born and raised within its limits, and the news of his death ?will be received by many with sadness. The Washington (Ga.) Gazette says that a liitle steamer was carried up tho Savan? nah river last week, bound for Tugalo river, ?where it will ply between Fort Madison, on the Air Line Railroad, and a point about thirty riiles distant down the river. Its jpourse will comprise about all of the navi? gable portion of that river. The steamer was carried up the river on a flat. The Great London Circus exhibited here on Friday lost, but was not so extensively patronized by our people as circuses gener? ally are. The crowd on the street was quite as large as usual, though the attendance upon the performance is said to have been much smaller, many questioning whether they paid expenses. The circus proper was better than the average, while the menag? erie was somewhat inferior. The Young Men's Christian Association of Ncwlcrry have recently opened a read? ing room, which is well supplied with wholesome and instructive literature, and is open every evening from 7 to 10 o'clock. Cannot Anderson afford as much? There is nothing that tends to elevate the standard of morality and intelligence in a communi? ty more than the distribution of good, sound and wholesome reading matter. We should have the reading room, and it should be free to all. An altercation occurred between two young men by the name of McDonald and Hall on last Monday about three miles south of this place, which resulted in the stabbing of Hall in the left shoulder by McDonald. The wound is a very painful onej though it is not considered dangerous. It seems that there have been differences between the parties for some time past, and they made tbe accidental meeting on the public highway the occasion for settling them. They were alone, and further par? ticulars arc not known. - The aggregate number of hales of cotton received at the depot at this place "luring the month of November this year were 2504 against 1S71 for the same month last year. The fact that Anderson is the best cotton market in the up country is still recogrized by our people. The total number of bales brought to Anderson for the past three months amount to 8092 against ?O0C for the same period last year. For a considerable amount of this cotton we arc indebted to the good farmers of Hart and Elbert Coun? ties Georgia, into which region the fame of Anderson has extended. The Pickens Sentinel informs us that some of the citizens of that County are talking about selling out their property and seeking homes in other sections in order to avoid paying the heavy railroad tax that will nec? essarily have to be levied to meet the in? terest on the bonds of that County, which the U. S. Supreme Court has recently deci? ded are a valid obligation, and wisely ad? vises them not to dt> so, but to remain on their old homesteads. The people of Pick ens have fought the matter in the courts for four or five years, and now that the highest judicial tribunal in the land has decided the case against them, the best thing to be done is to go to work and get rid of the heavy burden as quick as possible. Tho people of the whole State no doubt sympathize with our neighbors in this misfortune, which is made aggravating by tho fact that it is in a large measure the fault of bad leaders and injudicious officers. Moreover, the County is not benefited one dollar's worth by the thousands that it is compelled to pay,? Don't leave your old homes, our neighbors, but bear your burden as best you can. The down freight train on the Greenville & Columbia Railroad ran over and killed a white man between Bclton and Williamston on hist Saturday evening. The man was lying across the track, and was not discov? ered by tbe engineer in time to stop the train. His body was terribly mutilated, his head being crushed, one arm entirely severed from his body, and his feet and legs badly mashed and broken. The unfortu? nate man was supposed to be a tramp wending his way southward for the winter months, as be was unknown to the citizens in the community. It is supposed that he was intoxicated, and had fallen asleep. The South is being overrun by tramps, who arc coming hither from the North for the winter months. They are generally able-bodied men, who arc too lazy and trifling to earn their bread by honest work, and rely on the liberality of the ever gen. erous and hospitable farmers of the coun? try for their food and shelter, for which tho least compensation is never ollered. We think it is about time these fellows were being taught that the South is not an asylum for such vagabonds and scoundrels. We hope tbe farmers in this section will refuse every one of them food and shelter until it is earned by work. If this plan ol dealing with them was adopted by the farmers iroughout the country, tramping would soon cease, and many idlers compelled to go to work. We can conceive of no otM^Bcans by which they can be gotten rid of. The more th?y are kindly treated and entertained, tbe more they arc encouraged to continue tramping, and the sooner a cheek is put to their course the better. In case they should refuse to work in return for foid and lodging, or other benefits conferred, where it has been made in advance, call in a little assistance, if necessary, and administer a practical re? buke, and one that won't be forgotten. There are a few ignorant and worthless negroes' about Anderson who still continue to agitate the minds of the colored people about emigrating to Liberia, the most prom? inent among whom is Elias Tcrrill. At a meeting held in the Greeley Institute on Saturday last, of which this worthy was chairman, and which was attended by about fifteen town negroes, it was decided to call another meeting to be held at the same place on Friday, the 13th inst., "to consider the great question of Liberia, their Father? land," to which the colored people of the whole County arc invited. We sincerely hope, howevur, that they will pay no atten? tion whatever to the foolish efforts that are beim: made by these ignoramuses to make them dissatisfied with their lot. We advise them to stay at home, and to give their at? tention to securing homes for another year, which is at present the most important question to them, for their chances to get to Liberia, even if they desired to, go, is about es good as their chances to get to the nnxm. The only thing we sec to be accom? plished by :hese fellows is the distraction of the minds of the colored people from their work, and causing them to neglect the im? portant matter of making arrangements for another year. If Terrill really desires to go, we do not doubt that if he will make the effort he can securo sufficient funds by do? nation to defray his expenses, provided he will promise never to return. We arc ready to give our portion, and will consider it as doing our country service. We would remind our readers of the ! advertisement in our columns of the Mc Smith Music House. When a Music House , can sell such instruments as the Chickering, the Weber, the Knabe, the Mathusbcck and Dixie pianos, (the favorites of our Southern people,) and the famous Mason & Hamlin organs?the worlds favorite and choice?we must say they are, and will al? ways be found, reliable. This house guar? antees every instrument, and having se? cured the services of Prof. Anton Berg, of Cokesbury, they will agree to keep all in? struments sold by them In perfect tune for one year. This gives a full and reliable test of ail their piauos. And should any of our citizens at any time wish their pianos . organs tuned or repaired, Prof. Berg vgjB* serve them and guarantee his work, as he is thoroughl}' competent. Address the House at Greenville or Prof. Berg at Cokesbury. f TOWNVHiLE. The cotton ginning season is about ended, though a good deal of the staple remains to be marketed.It is said that another mer? cantile establishment will be opened here shortly. Townville will then have five stores.Messrs. J. T. & J. R. Moorhead, of the vicinity of Anderson C.

The short crop of this year appears not to have discouraged the farmers.:....A drove of Tennessece mules was in town last week, but no sales were effected. This sec? tion is self-stocked, so to speak, in that line. .We understand that Mr. Samuel Burns, who, with his family, removed from this place to Bartow County, Ga., come eight years ago, contemplates returning at an early day to this community, where he will abide permanently. Mr. Burns is a good citizen and has many relatives and friends here who will gladly hail his return to the scenes of his early years.The Sunday School at Cedar Grove Church, near Shal? low Ford, gave a celebration on last Satur? day, which was largely attended, and which was greatly enjoyed by all present. An ample dinner was provided by the good people of that community. Rev. Mr. Hyde delivered an address of rare beauty and edification. A live Sunday School has been in progress there during the vear.

He has already served his constituency as State Senator, and this re? newed endorsement signifies that his servi? ces have been highly satisfactory. His ex? tensive practice in the treatment of Chronic Discuses will not, we are informed, be neg? lected or sufi'er in the least when the time arrives lor him to take his seat in Congress, it being intrusted to his brother and other experienced medical gentlemen who have long been ; s ociated with the Doctor in the Medical Department of his celebrated World's Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel. Besides, as the Forty Sixth Congress does not convene until December, ls7D, Dr. Pierre's patitnts will not lose his personal attention for some months yet. IIYMEXEAE.

Me, Editor: A few thoughts on the sub? ject of "bard times"' may not be out of place; especially if persons reading them would "govern themselves accordingly." Who of us do not feel, to a greater or less degree, the pressure of the present bard times? Indeed, so sensibly is this felt that every one is ready to ask for the cause and remedy. Various causes, no doubt, are combined in producing effects so much to be deplored. Among them we may men? tion, this year, short crops, from natural causes, as storms, rust, drought and so on. In many parts of the County these were sq great as to reduce the yields of the cereals and cotton to one-half, or even less. The decline in the price of our leading staple, cotton, is another unexpected cause of the financial pressure. With the adjustment of European troubles, last spring farmers flat? tered themselves they would realize a fair price for their cotton this fall, but their hopes have been disappointed. Old debts, contracted under high prices, press also like a mighty incubus upon many, who find it hard indeed at present prices for cot? ton to pay off tbo same. Unreliable labor comes in also for a share in producing bard times. It is a sad truth that our labor sys? tem is exceedingly defective. Among many lahorers a common qrror prevails that six or eight months in the year is sufficient time to make a good living. Industry, care, economy and a good "holding on" to work are at a premium. But there is yet another fruitful cause of bard times: the yielding to the disposition common to us all to buy too much. We magnify our imaginary wants, and either greatly strain our credit or deplete unnec? essarily our purses. Fashion urges to ex? cessive purchases, and its devotees sink in financial ruin. And it were well if the ruin was eonfind to tbe devotees; but rarely so, for they generally drag others with them. Many men find it exceedingly difficult to keep their families "in the fashions." They, like all other men, love their wives and children, and dislike to sec them behind in the latest styles, hence they risk theirearthly all in trying to keep them up. Often while the family rejoices over the new, fine goods just purchased, bo whose duty it is to foot the bill is almost ready to weep over tbe gloomy prospects for funds to do so. Wives, daughters and sons, let ull foolish fashions and extravagancies go. Let the originators of the many foolish styles and fashions gather as few followers as possible, and soon they will come to you for work and bread. Ladies and gentlemen both, in the full sense of those terms, can be ladies and gentlemen without dancing all their time to the costly music of fashion. Dress excesses arc fol? lowed often also by table extravagancies. It is hard for some people to get out of the way of high, luxuriant living. If, how? ever, you make it at home, atid don't have to go in debt for it, you may afford to live well. Again, we say we buy too much. Let every one keep clearly within his income, and bard times will spread his wings and fly away. To do this he must live upon what he makes or produces. Every farmer should make his own meat and bread, wear largely, if not altogether, clothing made at home; and, in short, have nothing to buy except salt and iron, and such other article! a3 be is unable to make or produce. Let cotton be tbe surplus crop?the supplement of the farm, not the main crop. Above all things, keep out of debt, keep out of debt. Dktjs.
