It is of chenille net work, open to the border, with limp crown of velvet and clustering puff of feathers. The chic of this bonnet is the small lace cap, which is placed inside over the head. It is most fresh and youthful looking. It ' suffices to sew inside the bonnet, just on the line which touches the head, a gather ered lace border, with a small butterfly bow of colored ribbon nestling in the hollow of the bonnet. It is quite simple, and yet very stylish. Dr. A. P. Job nstone has purchased the stock of goods of Mr. J. M.

List of letters remaining in the Postoffice at Anderson for tha week ending January 29: Rev. John Attaway, J. H. Cobb, Jas. Cannon, Mrs. Sallie Columnar, Anderson Dickson, Geo. Duckworth, L. L. Dogan, Henry Hill, J. If. Hembree, Louisa Ham? mond, Marth A. Harvey, Miss Letty John? son, D. W. Jackson, Wni. R. Johnson, Jackson James, Rob't M. Johnson, Maggie McCown, Emily Meidith, N. S.

Zachery. ?MaV Peter Williams and Pink Kay, both col? ored, became involved in a quarrel in Messrs. Moss <fc Brown's store, on'Depot street, last Saturday evening, which resulted in the former being painfully stabbed with a pocket-knife by the latter. Two wounds were inflicted?one in the left side, above the hip, and the other in the left arm. Doc? tors J. O. Wilhite and R. F. Divver were immediately summoned and dressed Wil? liams' wounds, after which he was removed to police headquarters, where he was cared for until Sunday noon, when he was car? ried to his home in the suburbs of the city, Officer McGee, who was near the scene of the affray at the time of its occurrence, im? mediately arrested Eay, who is now in jail awaiting trial. Williams is doing very well, though he is not considered out of danger. Great complaint is made by the citizens living North of Anderson that the main ! road just beyond the mile post is well near impassable. It is impossible to get through it with a half load. It is a notorious place, and onght to be thoroughly fixed by the County Commissioners. We know of no work that is more badly needed. The cheapest and most substantial way to work I it would be to lay it with rock, and be done I with it. We hope the Commissioners will let it out by contract to be done as soon as the weather will permit. It will bo worth more to the County than any contemplated work with which we are acquainted. The improvement of these boggy holes in our public roads by permanent work should be insisted upon by our people. We had bet? ter have fewer bridges and better roads, than bad roads and numerous bridges. Death invaded the happy household of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Fowlar last Friday after? noon and removed from our midst their bright and interesting little son, Elias C. Cooley, aged eleven years. He was at? tacked quite suddenly Thursday night with meningitis, and everything possible that loving parents and skilled physicians could do to relieve the little sufferer was done, but all in vain, for after twelve hours of great suffering his little spirit took its flight to that bright world above. Besides being the idol of his mother and step-father, Elias was a general favorite with all his acquaint? ances, who will greatly miss his cheerful countenance. After appropriate funeral ser? vices, conducted at the Waverly House by Revs. T. F. Gadsden and D. E. Frierson, D. D., the remains of the deceased were in? terred in the Presbyterian cemetery on Sat? urday afternoon. The afflicted parents have the sympathy and condolence of the whole city in their bereavement. While strolling around the other day on the look-out for something to write about, we were informed that His Honor, Mayor Maxwell, had been "caned" by the police? men of the city. We had never heard of anybody being "caned" by policemen, for they usually "club" people. Consequently we sharpened our pencil and made a rush for the Mayor's office, determined to see fair play, and, if necessary, use our pencil on 1the belligerent(?) policemen. Arriving at the office we found tho Mayor absent. Eager to learn the particulars, we mado in quiry in regard to the affray, and learned that tho policemen had only presented the Mayor with a beautiful gold-headed cane, as a mark of esteem nnd respect they have for him. This is a merited tribute to Mayor Maxwell, who is ever mindful of the peace I and welfare of the city. He appreciates the present very, highly, and no doubt will ever remember the efficient policemon he has had during his administration. We regret to announce the death of Mr. John Hall, which occurred at his residence in Martin township on last Sunday morn? ing, after a brief illness of pneumonia. Mr. Hall was about seventy-two years of age. He was a pure, upright man, com? manding the universal respect of all who knew him, and although living to a good old age, never made an enemy. He was for more than forty years a consistent member of the First Creek Baptist Church. The Bible was pre-eminently the book which he studied and which he made his daily companion. Few, if any, were more thor? oughly versed in its teachings. Mr. Hall leaves a very large circle of relatives, con? nections and friends, who though sadly feeling their loss in his death, will fondly cherish the memory of his pure life. His remains, after appropriate funeral : ervices by Rev. J. S. Murray, were interred in the First Creek Cemetery. We tender our sin? cere sympathy to the bereaved in their affliction. According to announcement, a number of our citizens met in the Court House last Friday afternoon for the purpose of organ? izing a Literary Society. Nothing of im? portance wa? done, however, beyond ap? pointing a comn ittee to prepare a Consti? tution and By-Laws for the government of the Society, which committee was instruct? ed to report at an adjourned meeting to be held Monday afternoon. On Monday after? noon another meeting was held, when the organization of the Society was completed by electing officers and adopting a Consti? tution and By-Laws. The following are tho oflicers: President, Rev. D. E. Frier son. D. D.; Vice-President, Prof II. 0. Reed; Secretary, Treasurer and Librarian, Frank E. Harrison. It was decided to call the organiztttiun "The Anderson Literary Society." The initiation fee is fifty cents, and the dues fifty cents per quarter. The regular meetings of the Society will beheld on Tuesday after the first Monday in each month. The Society starts out with a membership of fifty-one persons. An ex? cellent set of officers has been selected, and if the members will manifest the proper interest the success of the Society is assured. We are glad to chronicle the fact that such a Soeiely has been organized in our midst. Each and every citizen should feel an in? terest in it, for it will undoubtedly prove beneficial to our people, especially to the younger portion. The first regular meeting of the Society will be held in Messrs. Mur? ray, Breazeale & Murray's law office next Tuesday afternoon, when it is earnestly de? sired that all the members and those who desire to join will attend. A Card of Thitnks.
