If they will do so, we believe they will agree with us in saying that Anderson County needs a new Court House, and that badly. Hon. H. G. Scudday has been suffering greatly from an abcess in the head, which has rendered his service in the past ses? sion of the Legislature particularly trying and, at times, painful to himself. He is, however, improving, and we trust will soon be permanently cured of the trouble. * Some of the ladies of Shiloh Church, in Savannah township, with the laudable purpose of raising funds for the comple? tion of the Church, propose to give a Hot Supper at Williford's Store on the even? ing of Wednesday, December 31. .Doors open at 8 p. m.

Belton Watson to know that ^he has taken an influential and creditable position in the House of Representatives during his first session.

Mr. Eskew has no clew, as yet, as to who the burglars are, but will- use every effort to ferret them out From the tracks around the build? ing and the amount of goods carried off, it is believed that there were four or five persons engaged in the burglary. . The City Council held a yery important I meeting last Thursday night. A petition of a large number of our citizens was 8resented asking the Council to raise the quor license for the ensuing year to $600. After some discussion, it was agreed to grant license for $500, which is $200 high? er than the present license. The license for billiard and pool tables was placed at $30 for one table and $20 for each addi? tional table. The bar-rooms and billiard saloons will be required to extinguish the lights and close their doors promptly at 10 o'clock p. m. After adopting several Ordinances, and appointing Messrs. J. N. Brown, 8. Bleckley and W. a Ligon Real Estate Assessors for 1885, the Council ad? journed.

This is right If these laws are strictly en? forced, much good will he accomplished. Mr. Keuben Burriss died at his resi? dence in Savannah township, in this County, after a short illness, on Wednes? day night, the 17th inst., in the 78th year of his age. Mr. Burriss was one of our most substantial and upright citizens, who always commanded the confidence and respect of his acquaintances. He was a successful planter and a man of fine bus? iness capacity for the occupation in which be was engaged. He was for many years a member of the Mountain Creek Baptist Church and Superintendent of the Sab? bath School there. Tho remains of the deceased were interred in the Mountain Creek Cemetery on Friday morning, after appropriate funeral services, conducted by Revs. Baxter Hays and M. McGee, in the presence of a large congregation of the relatives, friends and acquaintances of the deceased. Mr. Burriss was a valuable citizen, whose death will be a loss to the Community in which be lived. Died, at the residence of Dr. W. J. Mil ford, in this County, on the 16th inst., Miss Harriet L. Swilling, in the thirty sixth year of her age. In early youth, when about thirteen years of age, she connected herself with the First Creek Baptist Church, and continued a faithful, devoted and exemplary member to her deatb. She was an earnest and efficient worker in the Sabbath School, the La? dies' Mission Society and the Church. The large class which she taught in the Sabbath School will miss her, her co laborers in the Ladies' Mission work will miss her and the Church and community wikjnius her. Naturally endowed with a gentle and sweet disposition, she en? deared herself to aD who knew her. Her life was one of faith Jand works, and ber death, preceded by protracted suffering, was one of peace, hope and triumph. She was buried, after appropriate funeral ser? vices, conducted by Rev. J. S. Murray, in the First Creek cemetery, near the spot whore she bad spent so many hours of her life in the work which her Saviour gave ber to perform for Him. The South Carolina Conference.

An Arkansas Traveler. Last Spring one of the first emigrants from this County was an old colored man, named Adam Guy ton, from the Brusny Creek Township of the County, who is I about fifty-five years of age, and be has come back thoroughly disgusted with . Arkansas. He went out in the party with Joe Lee, Mose Lee, Jehu Thomas and others, and settled abont one hundred miles from Little Rock. All of the party settled as farm laborers except Jehu Thomas, who organized the party, and he says taught school until the sickly season, and then left them. The country is a low swamp, in which the health is said to be healthy until Summer, when chills and fevers rage with destroying violence. The water, be says, is foul and bad tasted. They are paid seventy-five cents per day for wages when they do day work, but are required to board them? selves, and buy from the man they work with. The most of them, however, are paid a part of the crop. He says they are charged 18 -cents a pound for bacon, when the stores sell it for 11 cents; $1.25 for meal, which sells at 75 cents, and other articles in proportion. He says bands are called to work by a bell, and that they are pushed by an overseer on horseback all day long. He states that hands here do not know what work is, and says he has come back to stay in this country. He says of the party of thirty men and women who went out with him, about half are dead, and that nearly all of the children in the party have died. He ad? vises all who think OT going to Arkansas to live to abandon it at once. He gives terrible accounts of the want, privation and utter destitution of the poor, deluded negroes who go out there. All who con - template going should see and talk with him. He is now living in Brushy Creek Township in this County. The Market.

"Words fail to express my gratitude," says Mr. Selby Carter, of Nashville, Tenn., "for the benefits derived from Ayer's Sar? saparille. Having been afflicted all my life with scrofula, ray system seemed sat? urated with it. It came out in blotches, ulcers, and mattery sores, all over my body." Mr. Carter states that he was en? tirely cured by Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and since discontinuing its use, eight months ago, has had no return of the scrofulous symptoms. The untidy, dirty appearance of a griz? zly beard should never be allowed.

Wetumpka, Ala., Sept. 28, 1884.? About six years ago I became afflicted with a very disagreeable skin disease, with large, dry sores and many crusted ?imples on my face, hands and shoulder, he sore on my shoulder eat out a hole nearly an inch deep, and the cancerous appearance of one of the sores near my eye alarmed me very much. I tried all kinds of treatment, but found nothing that seemed to affect the disease. I final? ly decided to try S. S. S. on advice of a physician, and in a short time the scabs dropped from the sores and left my skin smooth and well. I consider S. S. S. the greatest blood medicine made, and the only thing that will cnre the disease with which I was afflicted. I think my trouble was the result of a terrible attack of nib larinl fever, contracted while farming in the Tallapoosa river swamp. I can be found at my office in the court house at Wetumpka. You can refer to me. J. Li. Rhodes, Dep. Sheriff Elmoro Co , Ala. SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Drawer 3. Atlanta, Ga. N. Y. Office, 159 W. 23d St.; Philadelphia Office, 1205 Chestnut St. "Those Who Live in Glass Houses Should not Throw Stonen." It is amusing to see how tender-footed ceitain blood remedy proprietors have become of late. They make much ado about "apes and imitators," when none are in sight. The proprietors of B. B. B. would say most emphatically that their remedy stands upon, its own merit. Should we attempt to imitate, it would not be those who do not understand the modus oper? andi of that which they offer. Our own long experience in the profession pre? cludes such an idea. The field for blood remedies is large and broad affording ample room for all present aspirants, We do not desire to close the door against others, neither shall it be closed against us. B. B. B. is the quickest remedy, does not contain mineral or vegetable poison, does not imitate, and is in the field as an honorable competitor for public favor. 4-22 ALSO, ? AT ?

We give this notice thus early so that arrangements may be made accordingly. R. S. Hill will continue the business at the same stand, and he hopes to be better able than ever before to supply all the wants of those who promptly pay their debts. We now have on hand a very large Stock of General Merchandise, which is being sold as low as the lowest, and we would simply ask an inspection of those "looking around." Very Respectfully, R S.
