THE INTELLIGENCER, LOCAL, MATTERS. BRIEF MENTION1. Several of our citizens enjoyed' sleigh riding on Tuesday morning. Dime Beading to-morrow night at the residence of Rev. W. H. Strickland. Candidates are feeling*around and will soon have stakes set preparatory to a grand war for office. The Savannah'Valley*,Minstrel Club will give a performance in Masonic Hall on Wednesday evening next. Dr. D. H. Kannady, who hadadrug store in Williamston last summer, died at Cokes bury on the 25th January. Capt N. R. Reeves, of Garvin township, an aged and highly respected citizen, died on Tuesday morning, 27th ult. WUliamston promises to be, at no distant day, a town of no little importance, if not a city.?Tcmperxmce Standard. That's good news. The Clerk of. the Town Council is now prepared to collect taxes. Fay up before March 1, and save the penalty of twenty per cent. The'Sd Union District of the Saluda As? sociation will convene with Salem. Church on Saturday before the 5th Sunday in this month at 10 o'clock. Mr. Henry Ewbank, a representative of the Charleston News and Courier, spent last Thursday in Anderson in soliciting sub? scribers to that paper. Mr. J. G. Clinkscales is now one of the editors of the Temperance Standard, pub? lished at Williamston. We will naturally expect improvement. Rev. W. H. Strickland brought to our office on Monday morning an Irish potato plant eighteen inches high that grew in the open air without any protection. In consequence of the inclemency of the weather on Tuesday evening, the lecture of Rev. Mr. Win go, of Pendleton, was post? poned until next Tuesday evening. Married, at the residence of the bride's father, by Rev. A. C. Stepp, January 29th, 1880, Mr. W. M. P. Hall, of Anderson, and Miss Elizabeth A. Murff, of Laurens. CoL John R. Cochran showed us on Monday morning seven or eight hundred dollars' worth of gold in a crude slate, which was taken from bis mine in Oconee County near the Anderson'.line. Appointments of the Y. M. C. A. for next Sunday: To conduct the afternoon meeting, Dr. R. P. Dlwer; Poor House Committee, A. B. Towers, J. W. Daniels; Jail Commit? tee, A. P. Hubbard, R. R. Todd. A larger number of farmers of adjoining counties are coming to Anderson to buy their supplies than ever before, which is an evidence that they have found ont where they can secure goods on the best terms. Court convenes on the third Monday, and Judge Thomson, of Abbeville, will preside. It will be the first term of the Anderson Court the Judge has ever held, although he has been on the Bench more than two years. The great anxiety universally felt by the citizens of 1 bis section about the small grain crops, in consequence of the ravages of the I insects, was relieved on Monday evening by the fall of sleet to the depth of two or three inches, followed that night by a hard freeze. We regret to announce the death of Mr. John B. Adger, Jr.. son of Rev. John B. ? Adger, D. D., which occurred at bis resi? dence near.Pendleton on Tuesday morning last from injuries received by being thrown from his carriage on the 6th ult. Mr. Adger was about 29 years of age, and was a devoted and exemplary member of the Presbyterian Church. He was generous, noble and be? loved by all who knew him, and the sin cerest sympathies of the community are with his family in this sore bereavement. Hi? remains were carried to Charleston on Wednesday for interment. At the meeting of the Town Council on I last Tuesday evening week, a special tax of 6 mills was levied for the purpose of raising the first instalment of the amount subscribed by the town to the capital stock of the Sa? vannah Valley Railroad. One-hall of the amount is due and payable from February 1st to June 1st and the other half from October 1st to November 1st. The first payment may be deferred until the time of the second payment and the whole amount paid at once, with a penalty of five cents on the amount of the first payment. An alarm of fire was given on Wednesday morning about 10 o'clock, and in a few minutes it was generally known that the residence of Mr. Julius A. Daniels, situated near tbe Jail, was on fire and that the flames were making rapid headway. A large num? ber of citizens, both white and colored, soon gathered at Mr. Daniels', and after a few minutes of faithful work succeeded in get? ting the flames under control. The fire originated in a closet under the staircase, and was caused, it is supposed, by the igni? tion of matches by rats.

We were glad to learn from him that work on this Road is to commence at once. They have made a lease of fifty con? victs from the State, have erected their stockade at Easley, and will commence the work of grading the Road the latter part of next week. They will commence at Easley and work to Pickens C. H. He also in? formed us that a public meeting of the citi? zens of Transylvania County, N. C, was appointed for yesterday at Brevard, for the pnrpose of perfecting arrangements for the commencement of the work in that section. They have bad the promise of three or four hundred convicts from the State of North Carolina as soon as they are ready for them, besides subscriptions of money, provisions and land from private citizens sufficient to maintain the convicts until the work is completed. The North Carolina people are working for this enterprise with great zeal and determination, and hope at no distant day to have their beautiful country opened up to railroad communication with the rest of the world. The Captain is very hope? ful of the prospects of carrying the election for the railroad in the three townships of this County that vote on the question ou the 28th instant. We certainly wish the enterprise success, and it does seem that that is what its friends are working for. Townvllle. Mr. H. C.

Ms. Editoe: I desire to return my sin? cere thanks to the citizens of Anderson for the valuable services rendered me on Wednesday morning in saving my resi? dence from destruction by fire. Julius A. Daniels. Onion Culture. It is the universal custom in the South to grow onions from the set or immature onion of the previous year's growth. As this season the price of sets will be very high, we would direct the attention of our gardeners to the fact that by proper culture large onions can be raised from the seed*the first season. This is true of all the varie? ties, but an Italian variety, called the New White Queen, is said to give better results than any other, producing by July 1st bulbs two inches through, and of very fine Savor. To produce a crop of onions from the seed the first season, it is necessary to sow the seed in clean and very rich soil; otherwise you will not be paid for your trouble. Use well rotted stable manure, and be sure to get in the seed as early as possible in the Spring, no matter if it is ever so cold and unpleasant; for if onions do not get a good growth before the hot, dry weather, tho crop is sure to be failure, f hin them out early, and keep the soil mel? low and clear of weeds, and if your seed is good you will have a large crop. Sow in shallow drills not less than a foot apart. When the onions are three or four inches high, thin so that they will stand two inch? es or more apart, according to kind. Dis? turb the roots of onions as little as possi? ble, either in thinning or hoeing, and never hoe earth towards them to cover them. The sets are grown by sowing the seed thickly in drills on poor land, and as they gene? rally sell from six to seven dollars per bushel in the Spring, we believe it would pay some of our enterprising farmers to try the experiment of raising lor market. The American varieties are much inferior to the European in sweetness and mildness of flavor as well as in size. The finest va? rieties come from Italy. The New White Queen we have already mentioned. The Giant Rocca, of Naples, is the finest of | them all, producing in Italy bulbs weigh? ing four pounds. We keep the seeds of | both of these varieties. It should be men? tioned, however, that it is difficult matter to keep these varioties from rotting. An? other fine variety of onion is the English Potato onion. This produces bulbs in clusters .under the ground, and is a very early variety. It is much esteemed where it is known. We offer two dollars and a half as a premium for the best peck of onions from our seeds or sets, samples re? turned. We will deliver any assorted bill of Seeds amounting to five dollars (not in? cluding potatoes) free of transportation at any depot on the G. & C. or the Air Line Railroad.

S. ?S3~ WE desire to inform thepublicgen erally of our prospectus for this year. While we are thankful to all for their libe? ral share of patronage bestowed upon us during the last few years, we feel satisfied that we have fully merited our great success. It was due to no especial good fortune, but the result of a combination of causes principal ly of which is, our strict cash sys? tem. We have to sustain no losses, run no risks, but receive the cosh for every article sold. As our expenses are small, compared with the amount of business we transact, a small margin will suffice, and we firmly be? lieve in the maxim, "make slow haste to be rich." While at all times we offer great bar? gains to our many customers, we shall adopt for this year the metropolitan idea of hav? ing "Special Sales In certain Departments." We have no doubt that it will be successful, for the ladies will soon rind out that if we have a "Special Sale" in Embroideries, for instance, for one week, the low prices for tbe time being arc "Special," and much be? low regular value. It thus creates a mu? tual interest, for while we are selling those joods at "Special Prices," we will sell twice is many of them; and by buying twice as much as we used to, we certainly will buy meaper. On agural sale will last thirty lays, beginning r ebruary 1st, and in order ;o introduce this system will be exception dly grand, our whole stock of Winter Hoods are to be offered?in spite of the re? lent advances?at lower prices than ever, ind we hope our many friends will come md look, if nothing more. For the coming season, besides an IM? MENSE STOCK OF DRY GOODS, we hall have a line of Ladies', Misses' and 7hildrcns' SHOES that is unsurpassed in his State, the orders for which we have ;iven already, as each pair is made to our irder and warranted. We shall also have a completo line of amples of Cloths and Cassimeres?up to he very finest?and make to order all kinds >f garments for gentlemen in the very la est styles. Our stock of Millinery Goods shall be omplete, thus supplying a long needed vant?an effort that we know the ladies vill appreciate. Everything that is desira ile and new, we intend to show it, and our tock shall be first-class in every particular, ind our prices always the very lowest. ARNSTEIN & ROSE.
