Mr. Win. B. Painter of Memphis,
Tenn., is in the city, the guest of the Wa
yerly House. Mr. Painter left Anderson
with his parents when quite a small boy,
more than thirty years ago, and this is
his first visit here since then. His father
settled the place now occupied by Mr. C.
A. Reed. At that time all that portion of
the town was in woods. Mr. Painter is
the State Agent for Thompson's Universal
Garment Cutter, a very valuable and use?
ful invention.
Miss Nelly Byrd, the young and be?
witching travelling agent of tho Sunny
South, illuminated our sanctum with her
bright countenance last Friday. Miss
Byrd has just made a tour of tho State,
and despite the bard times has been quite
successful in swelling the subscription
list of her paper. Tho Sunny South is an
excellent literary paper, and is very cheap
at $2 a year. Although the paper has a
good list of subscribers at Anderson, Miss
Byrd, by her winning and pleasing- man?
ners, secured a number of new names.
Our young friend, Irvino Twitty, ore
of Messrs. Crayton & Sons' handsome
clerks, has received from a Western
friend quite a curiosity. It is a species of
a bat, called by naturalists tho Drenabati'
cits. This specimen was found clinging in
a semi-torpid condition to an old wall of a
ruined building, and was removed by
sheer force, so tenaciously do they cling.
Their bite .is pronounced by physicians to
be dangerous, and frequently cause death
-It is indeed a rare bird, and must be seon
to be appreciated. Mr. Twitty will take
pleasure in showing it to any one who
may desire to see it.
We had the pleasure of mooting Hon?
Wm. Henry Trescott, of Washington, in
our city on Tuesday. Col. Trescott was
formorly a citizen of Pendleton, and is
now spending some weeks there as a re?
creation. He is a Very able man, and tins
proven himself to bo ono of the most skill?
ful and accomplished diplomatists in the
United States, having negotiated several
delicate and important treaties. We
! hope that be may have occasion to visit
Anderson often during his stay at Pen?
dleton.
Mr. C. C. Habenicht, one of Columbia's
substantial and popular citizens, has been
in the city for a day or two. On Fri?
day evening he mode a donation of $10 to
the Pioneer Fire Company, which -Is the
largest single donation the Company baa
yet received. Such gifts arc highly ap?
preciated by the Pioneers, who will no
doubt place Mr. Habcnicht's name on
their honorary roll. Since the above was
put in type we learn that Mr. "Whack" J
Bailej', the .popular representative ofj
Reab, O'Connor & Bailey, wholesale I
liquor merchants, has also contributed $5
to the Pioneers. j
The Pionetr Fire Company has receivod I
and accepted an invitation to attend the I
Firemens' Tournament at Greenville on
the 24th and 25th inat. The running team
has been selected, and the boys have gone
to work in earnest practicing for the oc?
casion. Greenville is making extensive
preparations for the Tournament, which
promises to be a big affair. A low ratoof
fare has been secured from all the stations
along tho C. & O. R. R. Tho round trip
fare from Anderson is $1.00, tickets good
for three days. This low rate should in- I
duce a large attendance of our people, j
There Is not much business on the rail?
road at present, and the authorities, we
think, could well afford to run an extra
train from Anderson to Groenville und
return on each day of the Tournament.
A larg? crowd, we venture, would attend I
the Tournament from her? if they could
go and return the sains day. If the rail
road authorities will carry out this sug- j
gestion, we guarantee it will pay them.
The McCormick Advance, of the 4th I
inst., says: "General Humphries, Prcsi- j
dent of the Savannah Valley Railroad I
was in town yesterday and day before
looking after tho interest of that Road, I
and we are glad that we can inform our
readers that all disatisfaction in regard]
to the right of way of the Road now has
been amicably adjusted from one ond of the
line to the other. The work of laying the
super-structure will commence in a few
days. We are also informed that the
Road will be completed as far up as Mt.
Carmel in time for the next crop of cotton. I
The planters on the line of the Road have
much to be proud of for the reason that,
although many obstacles have been thrown
in the way of building the Road, yet by
the indomitable energy nod pr-rseverance J
of tho officers and stockholders thoy have J
made a success, and that thoy will soon
hear the sound of the whistle of tho en- I
gine as it passes the forests and fertile
fields of tho Savanuah Valley." Tho Ad?
vance also says: "The first shipment to
the Savannah Valley Railroad arrived in
McCormick last Tuesday, consisting of
spikes, bolts, etc., furnished by tho Cen?
tral Road. It looks now as if work will
begin at once. Capt. Estea is building
the side-track of S. V. R. R. at present."
Peter Waddleton, colored, who was
perhaps the oldest person in this section
of the State, died last Saturday at his
home near the eastern suburbs of the city.
"Unole Peter," as he was familiarly call?
ed, was for many years prior to the war
the property of Mr. Valentine Fant, de?
ceased, father of our present Chief of
Police. He was born and reared in Vir?
ginia, having been brought to South Car?
olina when a young mau by the Nevitt
family. In the year 1812, owing to the
death of his owner, Peter was sold at auc?
tion, the bill of sale putting, him dowu at
28 years of age. According to this he was
about 101 years old at tho time of his
death. He claimed to be five years older,
however, than he was accredited in the
bill of sale, which would mako him at
the time of his death 106 years okl. ' Un?
cle Peter'' was strictly honest, and was
never known to have been engaged in an
offenco of any kind. He had the confi?
dence of evory one who knew him. Be?
fore the war he often visited Augusta
alone with a load of cotton, which hp
would sell and return home with the pro?
ceeds to his master. He was always re?
markably stout and healthy, and up to a
few weeks ago was able to go about and
do light jobs of work. He owned a little
piece of land, which he always planted
and worked himself. 3o hid a very re?
tentive memory, and could relate things
that happened at tho beginning of this
century._
The Conclusion of the Anderson Military
School Commencement.
In accordance with the programme tho
annual Plume Drill of the cadets took
place on Wednesday afternoon of last
week at 6 o'clock on the Court House
Square. At taat hou r a very large crowd,
the major part of which were ladies, had
assembled on the Square to witness the
drill. The Company paraded for some
time, and was finally formed in line oppo?
site Brick Range, when the contest for the
plume began. Capts. T. F. Hill and J.
E. Allen and Sergt. Foster Fant were the
judges. The drill in tho manual contin?
ued for some time, and the cadets gradu?
ally droppeJ out until the contest nar?
rowed down to Cadets Raymond Beaty,
W. N. Mlllor and Alexis Ford. Those
young gentlemen vied with each other for
about fifteen minutes, and it was evident
t'hkt tho judges had no einy task before
them in deciding'who was entitled to tlie
plumo. Finally the plume win awnrdod
to Cadet Raymond Beaty. Gen. Capers
then stepped forward and presented tho
plume to Mr. Beaty, and in a few inter?
esting remarks complimented the cadets
on their drill and general appearance.
He also said it was an exceedingly pleas?
ant duty to him to present the plume to
Mr. Beaty, as ho had commanded Mr.
Beaty's father in the lato war, and on
every battle-field found him a true sol
dier. Tbe Company then gave three
cheers for Cadet Beaty, and took up its
inarch for headquarters.
On Wednesday evening the chapel was
filled with u larger crowd than on the
preceding evening to witness the termi?
nation of the Cor.: ni on cement exercises
of the School.
The Young America Cornot Band open?
ed the exercises with a lively selection of
music, after which Rev. T. P. Boll led In
prayer. Tho following cadets then dulir
ored origiuul spot-clies in the order
named :
Victor I. Masters, of Anderson, "KfTecta
of Iynorunco."
D. Joseph us Simpson, of Toccoa, Ua.,
"Our Ancestors and their Offspring."
Frank C. DnProe, of Abbeville, "Beau?
ties of Nature."
Marion M. Mattison, of Donaldsvillo,
"Self Reliance."
John J. Norris, of Anderson, "School
Days."
William McD. Green, of Suiuter, "Per?
severance."
Marion Gassaway, of Anderson Coun?
ty, "Some Hints as to How an Education
May be Obtained."
Marshall 0. Ligon, of Anderson, "La?
bor."
Alexis C. Ford, of Polzer, "Ambition."
These speeches wero very interesting,
and wore listened to attentively by the
audience. The young gentlemen have
every reason to be proud of their efforts.
The speakers word tho recipients of many
beautiful floral tributes and warm con
gratulations from their friends.
This clesed tho exercises of the Com?
mencement, and everybody retired feel?
ing that the occasion had been a grand
success.
Wo cannot close our report without
adding a word in commendation of this
popular school. Since its beginning it
has grown more popular every session, as
its large roll of students will show. Tho
reputation of tho school, too, is not con?
fined to our own County, but it is attract?
ing the attention of parents from almost
every section of the State. Messrs. Ligon
<fc Reed, the Principals, are thorough
scholars, with yeitra of experience, and
when a boy Is put under their charge they
know exactly how to train his mind.
The recitation rooms are supplied with
the latest improved desks, maps, &c, be?
sides being well ventilated, comfortable
and commodious. Parents who have
boys to educate could do no better than
place them in the Anderson Military
School.
The Anderson Female Seminary Com?
mencement.
The Fifth Annual Commencement of
this deservedly popular educational in?
stitute came off last week, embracing
Thursday evening, Friday morning and
Friday evening.
The occasion had been the talk of the
town for several weeks prior, and of
course the friends and pupils of the Sem?
inary looked forward to tho time with
pleasant anticipations. With each suc?
ceeding year the interest in these aunual
demonstrations seem to be on the increaso,
and the attendance of visitors from a dis?
tance this year was larger than any pre?
ceding year.
The exercises were held In tho Baptist
Church, which had been kindly tendered
Gen. Ayer for that purpose, theSoininarj'
buildings being inadequate to accommo?
date the crowd. According to tbe Pro?
gramme Ibo exorcises were to begin at Si
o'clock, but long boforo that hour on
Thursday evening crowds of people were
wending their way to the church, eaoh
one desirous of getting the best seat pos?
sible to witness the exercises. When the
hour arrived for the opening of the exer?
cises, every available seat in the edifice
was occupied, and those who arrived late
had to stand up.
A large temporary rostrum had been
erected between the pulpit and the pews.
On the wall in the rear of the rostrum, in
bold letters, were the words, "Anderson
Female Seminary?Excelsior." The flo?
ral decorations above and around the ros?
trum gave evidence that dextrous hands
had been engaged at work there. The
whole arrangement was very neat and
tasty. Immediately in front of the ros?
trum sat the pupils of the Seminary, each
of whom looked as pretty as a pink.
The exercises were opened with a fer?
vent prayer by Rev. J. W. W?lling,
The first thing on the programme was
the rendition of the beautiful Cantata,
"Faith, Hope and Charity," which was
participated in by the little girls?about
thirty in number?of the Primary De?
partment. Miss Nellie Towers, a charm?
ing little lassie, was the Queen, and was
attended by a number of beautiful Maids
of Honor, each of whom sang their part
in a manner that attracted the admiration
of eaoh spectator. The Cantata was ex?
ceedingly interesting and highly enjoyed
by the large audience.
At the conclusion of tho Cantata, Gen.
Ayer stepped forward, and, in a few ap?
propriate remarks, introduced Rev. T.
P. Bell, who had been invited to address
the young ladies of the Etocbean Society.
Mr. Bell said he appreciated the compli?
ment for having been seleotod as ths
orator for the first anniveraarj' of the
Society. Tho sceno before him made him
wish that he wero a bey again. He an?
nounced for his subject "The Girl of the
Poriod," which ho discussed in an elo?
quent, scholarly manner. He said that the
girls of to-day hud better advantages, and
wero more ouligh;cned than their moth?
ers, There was no excuse for a girl to
grow up ignorant, and jf she failed t-Q
secure her portion of kuowledge it was
her own fault. He urged the young la?
dies to keep posted in tho current events
of the day. Many of them perhaps
would have to right their own battle
through life, and they should bo prepared
for it. The true girl of our period wa9
tho Independent girl, and sho should bo
encouraged. The girl who know how to
use the tolegraph key was just as worthy
as the one who tipped tho ivory keys of
tho piano. Tbe address was replete with
sound, practical advico, and doubtloas
made a deep impression on the minds of
every nearer.
Mr. Boll's address was followed by an
instrumental trio, "Hallelujah Chorus,"
by Misses Hatlie iloko, GussieSitlonand
Lillie Moore This was followed by an
instrumental solo, "Schorz-i," by Miss
Verna Ayer.
Gen. Ayer then delivered prizes to
Misses Emily Divver, Mamio Barr and
Carrio Morse for proficiency in various
studies.
Miss Lnhih Ayer rendered a vocal solo,
"Tho Message," which was followed by
an instrumental sole, "Rhapsodic Hon
groiso." by Miss Varina Brown.
Next on the program mo was a vocal
duet, '!Al(! could I Touch tho Nightin?
gales," by Misses Lul?h and Verna Ay or.
The evening's exercises closed with a
beautiful rendition of "Allld Lung Syne,"
by n number of young ladies.
The exercised of Friday morning con?
sisted of tho reading of reports of the ex?
aminations of the pupils, interspersed
with beautiful selections of instrumental
and vocal inw.->ie. The examinations of
the pupils in their various studios had
been rigid and thorough, and showed
that they had made rapid progress, whieh
was no doubt very flratifying to the pa?
rents.
On Friday evening the crowd in nttond
auee was simply immense, there being
scarcely standing room.
Tb/i exercises opened promptly at the
hour appointed, Rev. T. F. Gadsdcn lead?
ing in prayer, after which that familiar
and ever beautiful snug, "Annie Laurie,"
was rendered by the vocal claws in a most
entertaining manner.
This wan followed hy an instrumental
trio, "AlHjehe do < 'indrillon," by Minxes
Adelt? ltyysor, Olive Brown and Irene
Goodman, and nu instrumental duet,
"Overture to Light Cavalry," by Misses
Annie Hell and Xellic Towers.
Gcu. Ay er then introduced Judge Lo?
gan E. Blecklcy, of Goorgia, to the audi
euce. Judge Bleckloy recited an original
poem on the subject of "Woman." He
consumed nearly an hour, during which
time the audience was most highly enter
taiuoJ. It was ouo of the most remark
ablo productions we have over listened to,
abounding with beautiful thoughts, pa?
thos and humor. It is impossible fur us
to give a synopsis of the poem, but wo
will endeavor to get Judge Bleekley to
give it to us for publication at au early
day.
An instrumental duet, "A Winter's
Tale," was next rendered by Misses Hut
tie Hoke and Gussle Silton, followed by
a vocal solo, "Watching," by Miss Luluh
Ay er.
Gen. Ayer stated that as it was growing
lute be would huvo to dispense with the
balance of the musical programme. Ho
then proceeded to read the essays of the
young ladies of the graduating class on
the subjects named, as follows:
MissVnrina Brown?"Christian Clvili
zation;"
Miss Lois Watson?"Mind and Heart."
Miss Lnlah Ayer?"The True Aim of
ah Education."
Miss Lucillo Nirdin?"Classical and
English Literature."
In their essays these young ladies
oviticed a high grade of intellectual attain?
ments, at the same time showing a thor?
ough mental training. Tho essays wero
written in an easy, graceful style, and the
subjects treated In an able manner.
Gen. Ayer, in a few interesting and ap?
propriate remarks, presented the diplo?
mas to tho graduates, who received them
amid the applause of the audience.
This terminated tho Fifth Annual"Com?
mencement of the Seminary. Through?
out the exercises wore very interesting
and entertaining.
The Seminary has closed the most suc?
cessful session in its history, the roll of
pupils numbering one hundred and forty.
Such an educational institution is a credit
to any community. Long may the Sem?
inary live and prosper.
Description of the Sandy Springs Cyclone.
Mr. Editor: Asa matter of informa?
tion to your readers, I will toll you in tho
following what I Raw of tho cyclone on
the 27th of May, and what I have seon
since of its results:
While standing In the door of J. W.
Major's house on that evening about two
o'clock, I saw three cloud; moving in
different directions, ami when they met
over T. E. Diukfton's home, as they
seemed to nie*tho wholo mass of clouds
or tho blackness turned toward the earth.
It was a grand, but a fearful scene. It
looked like a monstrous elephant falling.
The moment it struck the ground the
work of destruction began. It did not
strike the ground with much force until
it had passed T. L. Roids's residence,
where it commenced its terrible execution.
Its direction was from a little south of
west to a little north of cast. The cyclone
blow down every one of the outbuildings
on J. W. Major's plantation, except a
tenant house that was entirely out of its
path. It also blew the most of the roof
off of tho dwelling houso and injured, to
a considerable extont, the iuside work.
Every thing in the house, very nearly,
was exposed to a hard rain, which im?
mediately followed the wind. Thore was
also a hard rain with the cyclone. The
wind blow down the most of tho out?
buildings for Messrs. D. A. and Andrew
Elrod. Tho top of Andrew Elrod's house
was partly blown off and a tonant house
torn down to the sills, every thing In it,
owned by Jas. McClue, was utterly
ruined. Some ono ought to help a little.
Mr. Andrew Elrod had a buggy litorally
torn to atoms. It was not a lino ono but
a good ono. Whilo tho cyclone only
blow the tops off of two of R. B. Brock's
outbuildings, yot it did him very great
damage in blowing off his young cotton,
and the line timber it blew down. It
destroyed about a bale of cotton for D
A. Elrod, two for R. B. Brock, one for
Mrs. J. W. Major, one and a half for
Andrew Elrod. For the samo persons
the cvclone almost ruined their orchards.
On J. W. Major's place, five largo Juno
apple trees, heavy loaded with fruit, were
blown clonr up by tho roots. Others
suffered considerable loss. Mossrs. Peter
and John McPhail, J. M. Blackman and
Kay. Fortunately for tho most of thoso
over whom this cyclone passed, it did not
touch tho earth. It kept itsolf moro In
tho atmosphoro than auy I have ever
Keen. There is no doubt as to whether it
was a cyclone, for it had tho rqtary move?
ment. When any one sees tho width and j
direction of ouo of these storms. It is too
late, let mo tell you, to run out of the
way. If you aro already out side, why
it is no trouble to keop out. Its ralo of i
travel was about 120 to 140 miles per hour. |
Its width was about ono-sixth of a milo,
Mr. D. A. Elrod's family was not at
home. Mrs. J. W. Major and sou saved
their livos, perhaps, by getting into their
cyclone pit. Mr. Andrew Elrod's family
went into tbolr cellar. I don't believo
any man can keep from being somewhat
uncomfortable while a wind of this kind
is going over. The iiolso was like unto a
thousand reapers. It Is a ?sol'ilely won?
derful that no oiut go: hurt. Tht! HintilfV
were blown to tii>- Kills from over Un.
J. W. Major's horse ami mill, and imithi-r
wore hurt ?erioiisly. I would, in Un
name of all so badly damaged in lim
recent cyulotie, thank the community for
their generosity and kindness toward
them. I also hope, that I may never be
an e3'e-witnes."i to another srtch wind.

Skin Diseases.
I have a little daughter seven years old,
who for tho last four years has been
afflicted with a peculiar skin eruption on
the face and one hand. I have tried sev?
en or eight physicians, among them the
best in California and in this province,
but to no purpose. The child kept grow?
ing worse. Fortunately, I saw a state,
ment in a St. Paul, Minn., paper, of a
cure of a disease similar to that of my
child. It was affected by Swift's Specific.
I secured six bottles and commenced giv?
ing it to my little girl. In less than one
week this terrible disease, which had
baffled all tho known remedies within
reach, began to disappear. She has boon
taking it throe months?is perfectly well,
and her skin is as clear as wax.

To the average reader this will sound extravagant, but nevertheless the case. Find
ing-these goods entirely too fine in quality for this market, we have concluded to offer
them for LESS THAN COST, in order to enable us to replace with such goods as are In
demand here. We have not the space to ennmerato, but you will see that these aro
solid facts.
our stock is immense,
And money rather scarce, hence it will pay us to dispose of these goods rather than
carry them over until they bacome shell-worn and out of style. Old ideas are dying out
and new ones taking their place. The only sure road to success is by keeping pace with
fluctuations in values as well as with dosirable and stylish goods.
THIS IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY,
Never again to be offered to the people in the upper part of the State, and we propose to
save you money on a!l the goods you may buy from us.
we ask all
In doubt of these assertions to come early and inspect our stock and hear our prices,
feeling assured that if you belong to yourself and free to spend your money wherever
you believe to get full value for it that we can suit you.

To examine our stock before you spend a nickle elsewhere, and you will go home satis?
