A large attendance and very interesting exer cises aro expected. Every person is invited lo attend tho Convention. So fin- A adcrson has ?lone nothing for the Widtorboro sufferers. Nearly every town in the State has contributed liberally lo wards helping them, and we sincerely trust our town authorities will nt once toke steps towards raising funds for their aid. Sincetheabove paragraph wai putin ty|>e, und ns we go to press, eflbrts are being mode by our Intendant to secure contributions to help thc sufferers in Wnltobom. He thinks he will secure ut least Wc lind thc pleasure C.' a call on last Kat unlay from Col. Earliu L. Jennings, who was in Anderson representing the Augusta Chronicle nnd Const Hut ionatitt. Col. Jen nings is a very pleasant gentleman, who makes many friends wherever he goes, and we wera glad to learn that lie had succeeded in obtaining n good number of subscribera at this pince to the very excellent journal he represents. Indeed, we cr truly say that the Chronicle and Cotuiu?'':jnalist is one ?if the most progressive, enterprising, read able nnd reliable panera in the whole eoun try. It ami its accomplished agent have ?mr bivt whdics for prosperity. A jail delivery was attempted on last Thursday morning. Whilo a man was cleaning out the prisoners' rooms, Mr. John McConnell, a son of 8heriff McConnell, vas at the upper door, the lower entrain o being upen. Joe Arnold, a colored man charged with participation in tho Franklin murder in Abbeville County, broke by young Mr. McConnell and effected his es? ?opa from the jail enclosure. Another prisoner started out, but thc young man closeil thc door and stopiied him. Vigorous pursuit wns ">?..!.. <.:>..r Arnold, who had fled in the direction of Gencrosteo swamps, and after a short and exciting chose Mr. Jose; '! R. Faut, our efllclcnt Chief of Po lice, ovcrbaulc?l tho fugitive, who was re turned to lils former ?piarters, where ho will bc more rigorously confined until time for lils trial. This affuir tentls to strengthen tho nlrenily extensive belief that ho is guilty of the offence which is ehnrged against him. A difficulty occurred between two coloml men nt Belton on last Sunday, which, had it not been for a hen! bend, might have furnished ns a murder case for tho next Court Wc bnve not been nblc to leam tho facts as to tho cause of tho altercation, but understand that tho difficulty was com menced on Saturday, when there was a show ul knives. They were prevented from ( liming together nt that time, however, but from M.bsequent developments lt seems they wera not satisfied, and songht the first op: .H tun i ty of adjusting mattera on their own terms. They met on 8>;nday, and after exchanging a few blows ono of them drew a pistol und shot the otl cr directly in thc forehead, the ball ranging upward und ?imply cutting thc akin back tu thc crown uf bis head.

Wo regret to announce thc death of Mrs. Jane Russell, wife of Mr. W. W. Russell, which occurred at the residence of her hus band near Handy Springs in this County on lust Muuday morning, after an illness of several weeks. Mrs. Russell wu* the daughter of Mr. John H. Sitton, of Fem. ton, nnd a most excellent and amiable lady, in the midst of a responsible und useful life, which has been terminated by un un timely death, which desolates a happy home, and leaves a fond husband and seven little children to mourn thc irreparable loss they have sustained. Mrs. Russell was a member of the Pendleton Presbyterian Church, and as such was s pure and con sistent Christian, jiossessed of those virtues which not only adorn thc wife, the mother and the member of society, but also befits their possessor for the higher and better sphere of action beyond this world. Death Is always sad. It continually bathes its tracks in the tears of de o?ate friends, ami creates an aching void in the hearts of j stricken loved ones. If, however, it is I possible to make comparisons of itsmourn I ful work, thc saddest death is that which removes from a family of little ones th? tender love and anxious caro of a Christian mother. Thc stricken finn ?ly hus thc most sincere sympathy of tho entire community in their sore bereavement. It becomes our sad duty this week to placo on record the death of a promising young man of Anderson, und one who hud just fairly entered upon the journey of life. On lust Monday morning about 0 o'clock Mr. John G. Murrah breathed his last, in the 24th year of his age, after a long and tedious i.lness of consumption. He was a son of Mr. E. F. Murrah, of our town, und bud been unable to engage in any active business for more thuu a year past, and for several months hud been confined to the house. He was a young man of ninny noble traits of character, und possessed In an eminent degree the friendship and confi dence of all who knew him. He was of a quiet and retired disposition, und mingled little with even those of his own age. He was moral, temperate and upright in every respect, and was possessor! of a warm heart, generous impulses and friendly nature. His remains were interred in the Presby terian cemetery, after solemn and impress ive funeral services by Dr. Frierson, on Tuesday afternoon, in the presence of many sorrowing relatives nnd friends. V. M. C. A. Rending Room. Thc Young Men's Christiun Association are discussing thc propriety of establishing a Reading Room in Anderson for thc use of the public, and a meeting to take final action upon the subject ic to bc held in Temperance Hall on neut Tr csday night at 8 o'clock, which all of the citizens of An derson are invited to attend. The end in view is certainly c. very important nnd de sirable one, (four people will but think ol it. If successfully opened it would afford access to the most interesting literature ol thc day, which would pince valuable infor mation in the reach of very many w ho have not now thc means to supply them selves with books and periodicals. It would give to all a very great and instruc tive variety of rending for u comparatively small amount of money. It would afford the young men of thc town a resort, where they would find charming literature and good company, and thus induce many o: them to forsake associations which arc un profitable, to say thc least of them. They would thus frennent a place tho influence from which would be refining and improv lng, Not only this, but the boys who an approaching the agc of manhood wouh find in it amusements more profitable thut pluying marbles or other occupations of i more questionable character, in w hich thei parents in many instances have no ida their sons arc participants. In fact, w think such a rending room, well suppliei with choice literature, would be a great ad vantage to tho younger people of the town as well os to such of the older citizens u may have time or inclination to avail them sci vet of the opportunities it will present We hope, therefore, that the older citizen and business men will take un interest ii this enterprise, and assist its accomplish incut by their advice and by liberal contri butions to it. J.I will both gratify and in: provo their sons, their clerks and then selves if they wish. It will give travelei and visitors in our midst an agreeable plat to spend a few leisure hours. It will be a improvement to thc town, supplying a pre: need, the benefits to result from which wi many times repay nil the contributiot i hat muy bo made, and that too in a gr? variety of ways.

We are all trying to reach out after young men. As thc sentiment with which we would greet you, let us all sing "Dlest be tho tie that binds," and as wo sing, let us pray thut, while bound by kindred ties, we may bc united In common love to our Heavenly Father. Mr. (i. F. Tolly followed ill behalf of the town, and said : 1 know you to bo true, earnest and faithful Christian workers, and as such I welcome you to our towy. I re mt .?ber the former State Conventions and the work that was dono ut them, mid I tender thc delegates to this Convention, in behalf of our citizens, a warm and cordial welcome. We appreciate the catholic spirit of the Association ; the broad and noble platform on which you stand, and tho pious zeal of your active wo/kera. You conic freiguted with valuable information, which wc want to get, and we trust thc meeting may be blessed to you as well ns to us. Mr. K. H. Murray spoke, reprcsentiiuj the press. Ho said that he hud been ns signed the pleasant duty of welcoming th? Association on the purt of the Press, he sup posed because the highest und noblest aim; of the press of the country are to elevan and moralize mankind, and therefore it wa: recognized as in sympathy with thoexnltec purposes of the Young Men's Christian As sociution. He said that all Christians, ye all well-wishers of humanity, welcome tin Convention, and appreciate tho noble worl in which it is engaged. He trusted tb meeting would be pleasant, and that will each revolving year it would urow more in tercsting and more useful to mankind. Rev. Dr. Fricrson, of che Presbyterial Church, a representative of the Churches said : We greet you as workers in thc sam cause, as fellow-soldiers fighting nenias evil, against intemperance and profanity against greed and coldness, against crim and sin ; as those worknig to build up tb kingdom of God. Diversified work tic velops diversified furces. All evil that in feels thc world bas one common aiiliiiui polarizes against one object-against Jesu Christ, Our enemy is strongly intrenchet ably handled, and wo of the ministry ri joice to welcome any new forces coming t our help. Remember, a thousand thee logical eyes are watching your work, te keenly perhaps. Possibly their criticisn have been too outspoken, but it warns yo to be careful. Ito true to your Churchs in ranks, and the ministry will recognii you as fellow-workers. Rev. Mr. Carlisle, of tho Methodi Church, suid: I greet you as pastor of tl Methodist Church, os n minister, but, abo) all, as a Christian. The carnost wish i my heart is that you may be successful i your noble work. We all recognize tl Church as first-it is divine in its fonndii and mission-but we recognize and wc come you as the handmaid of the Chore paving thc- way for it. To thc work of yoi organizations largely belongs tho credit f the oneness of spirit that marks the Chun of the present day, and when a now genci Hon, trained in the Associations, como be thc Church, we sar.il sec that bond union more strongly marked. Rev. W. H. Strickland, of the Bapt Church, suid : As a pastor I am glad y have come, and I wish you a hearty Gi speed in your noble work. May you blessed in coming and we in receiving ye May thc Church be quickened und the co munit/ aroused. When Paul, on his w to Reine, came to the Three Taverns, frien met bim and they thanked God and to courage. So we trust yoir coming ni cheer and enc urage us. He closed with exhortation to the delegates to be active Christian effort in the homes ns web a. thc meetings. In response on the part of the Conv lion, Mr. L. N. Zcaly, of Columbia, sai The wurmth of your welcome does not s prise mc. I expected it. I have one reg -one who used to bo with us in tho w< is not herc to-night. I refer to Uro. H. Chrieizberg. Let us pray for those v have so kindly opened their homes to that God may bless them. Wo have b blessed in previous Conventions. Let pray for a blessing here. Let us pray the presence and guidance of the ll Spirit, and our Convention will be a t; lng to us and our work. Mr. Cree, of New York, said, in rcspo that thc criticism, while somo of it i have been unjust, had been benefii That the Associations had made mista but they were learning wisdom, and the suit was they were stronger now throi out tho South-standing better with pas and business communities than ever bel He spoke of the need for person? \ eil and closed by saying that we wer. aere dimply ns representatives of the ASM lions, but as cnibassndors for Christ, tc what we can, and, above all, as "the of God," and wo should bear weil thc nity of our position, and our lives sin be such ns become the members of family to which we belonged.
