On last Sunday evening Bishop E. G. Andrews, of Washington D. C, preached a most excellent and practical sermon to a crowded audience in the Southern Methodist Church, in this City. All who heard the sermon were pleased both with the manner and the matter of the Bish? op's sermon. Persons from surrounding towns and cities say that Anderson appears to be the busiest market in the up-country. This is the place to come if you want to buy goods cheap and to sell produce to the best advantage. Don't forget this when you go to make your arrangements for this year's trading. Come to Ander son. Last Monday was a bright, clear day, and a large crowd of people came to the oity. Very little real estate was sold by the officials, but numerous pieces of per? sonal property were sold to satisfy chattle mortgages. Horses were sold as low as six dollars and a half apiece. The crowd was very orderly, and the policemen did not have much to do. The merchants did a good business. Talk up your town. Do not Bit down and cry "hard times," for despondency always makes the! picture gloomier tban it really is- Every citizen should resolve to talk up the interests of his town. Show to strangers its advantages, and en? deavor to attract new capital and new en? terprises. Li re men make a prosperous place. Let its be awake and endeavor to advertise otvr advantages. .3 . . Oh "Wednesday morning as-Geor'ge Har? rison, a colored man, was driving Mr. W. J. Drennan's team of mules, about three miles below Anderson, they became frightened and. ran away, throwing the driver out and breaking his right arm above the elbow and tearing up the wag? on. The unfortunate man was brought to the city, and Dr. M. L. Sharpe attended to his injuries, which are severe. Not long since a couple in the Eastern section of the County wanted to get mar? ried, but there was no preacher or officer convenient, so they applied to our jolly friend, Mr. H. C. Poore, to tie the connu? bial knot for them, and he did so. The ceremony pleased the couple exceedingly, and since then he has joined quite a num? ber of couples. Our friend is now think? ing of applying for a patent ou his cere? mony. It is now in order to advocate better roads. People always urge the impor? tance and necessity of well worked roads when they get so muddy and bad that it is impossible to work them. When they are comparatively dry and smooth the matter is not referred to. It is s good deal like the darkey and his leaky cabin: When it was raining he couldn't cover it, and when it was not raining it didn't need covering. Last Monday we bad the pleasure of meeting in the city Mr. Hugh H. Colquitt, General Manager of the Furrnan Fertil? izer Co., of Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Colquitt is a brother of Hon A. H. Colquitt, one of Georgia's representatives in the U. S. Senate, and is an affable, courteous gen? tleman. He had been spending a few days in Belton with friends, and express? ed himself as being very favorably im? pressed with our County and people. Remember that your preacher can't give a Ben for supplies. He will need a little money and that very early in the year. Suppose you pay him in monthly instal? ments. Try this plan. Or if you will pay bim half the amount of your assess? ment now and the balance in the Fall, it will be better both for him and you. By all means pay your preacher. If you have none of your own, pay some other man's preacher. Don't deadhead yourself along to the better world. During one of the mornings of the re? cent cold weather we understand that a little boy in Corner Township stuck his tongue to the wagon tire, when, of course, it froze to the iron, and In attempting to release it his lips also became frozen to the iron. His mother, after trying In vain to release him, went for a kettle of warm water, and the boy, seeing her com? ing and fearing a scalding, tore himself loose, leaving the skin from portions of Iiis tongue and lips upon the tire. He was a sadder and wiser boy, but doubtless will hereafter prefer to obtain his wisdom in some less painful manner. Capt. B. F. Morrow has return :d from Hart County, Ga., to his plantation in Corner Township, and intends remaining in this County. We are glad to have him return to our County. Mrs. Anna L. Leak died at the resi? dence of her husband, Mr. T. J. Leak, in this city, after an illness of four months, on Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock, in the 43rd year of her age. ;Mrs. Leak was the oldest daughter of Mr. James A. Drake, of Martin Township. [She was for many years a member of the Baptist Church, and was noted for her kindness to those in need and the sacrifices she constantly made to minister to the wants or comfort of the sick. Mrs. Leak conducted a la? dies' store in Anderson during several years past, and was full of energy, throw? ing her whole soul into whatever she un? dertook to do. Her deceaso will be re? gretted by a host of friends throughout the County. Her remains will be interred this afternoon in tho cemetery at Ebonezer Church in Martin Township, where other members of her lather's fam? ily are buried. Rev. T. P. Bell will con? duct the funeral services. She leaves a husband and sou, who have the sympa? thy of our community in their bereave? ment. Anderson's Fire Department, although j-oung, is rapidly assuming the position of a thoroughly equipped and first-class department. The company in charge of the Pioneer Engine has, on several oc? casions, done first-class work in protect? ing the property of our city, and the City Council has acted wisely, wo think, in supplementing this Engine by the pur? chase of a hand engine to be given to tho colored people who havo formed a com? pany which thoy have named Tho Rough and Ready Fire Co., and elected the fol? lowing officers : President, Lawrence Jones ; Vice-President, Jesse Williams ; First Director, Bei ry Williams?foreman, Henry Birch; Second Director, Henry Wilson?foreman, Ed. Edwards; Third Director, Barbous Frazier?foreman, John Peyton; Fourth Director, Newt Williams ?foreman, Sam Mitchell; Secretary Jim Crawford; Treasurer, Charlie Bart. In addition to this, a number of tho young men of the city have organized a com? pany to man a hook and ladder equip? ment, which they have named "The.In dependent," and have ordered a complete outfit which is expected to arrive about the first of March. Mr. G. M. Tolly is President, and Mr. A. C. Todd, Secretary of the provisional organization. When these companies are fully organized, our city will have three fire companies which will be in keeping with its growth and business prosperity. Mr. Joseph L. Byrum, an aged and well known citizen of this County, died at his residence two miles West of An? derson, on Monday, the 1st of February,, at the age of seventy-six years. During the latter years of his life, Mr. Byrum was a great sufferer, having been stricken with paralysis some fifteen years ago, which impaired a naturally strong con? stitution, and compelled him to change the habits of active, energetic exercise, for comparative quiet and rest Some twelve months ago he suffered a second stroke of paralysis which reduced him to helplessness, which was only relieved by death. Ho was a native of Brushy Creek Township in this County, and has lived all of his lile in the County with the ex? ception of a few years, during which he resided in Georgia. Mr. Byrum was a brick-mason by trade, and was a fine workman, accumulating a good property as tho result of his industry and skill. He had, however, given up this work for many years before his affliction. Mr. Byrum was an upright, honest man, and during last summer united with the Pres? byter ial Church. Tho funeral services were conducted at the house of the de? ceased in the presence of a number of the friends and relatives of tho deceased, by Rev. D. E. Frierson, D. D., and the remains were interred in the family cem? etery with the impressive burial service of the masonic fraternity, which was conducted by J. E. Breazeale, Esq., Mas? ter, and the members of Hiram Lodge, of* which the deceased was a member. A Cutting Affray. The Columbia Register of Saturday gives the following account of a cutting affray, which appears to have been a most unjustifiable and outrageous crime: "A very unfortunate difficulty occurred at the cotton warehouse of Miller Bros., near the Union Depot, yesterday after? noon which came near proving serious to oue of the parties. It seems that Mr. Little, whose father (Dr. Little) is the book-keeper of the establishment, with some other young man was annoying Mr. Wilton Lee, the cotton weigher, by jumping on and oil the scales when he was engaged in weighing cotton and that he told them to desist. Young Little got on the scales and told Lee if he wanted him off he must put him off. Lee pushed him off, but as the relations of the parties were perfectly friendly up to that moment, Lee turned off to go into the office with no feeling of anger, as he avers, and suspecting none on the part of Little, when the latter suddenly attacked him with a knife, inflicting several severe wounds upon him. The knife was driven into Lee's left shoulder just above the breast, and another cut was made just over the heart and was prevented from penetrating by striking the ribs, and an? other wound was made in the back. The interference of several young men at this stage prevented young Littlo from doing further damage. Mr. Lee went in a hack to Dr. Taylor's office but he was out, when he was carried to Messsrs. Millers' on Marion street, where Dr. Taylor subse? quently attended to his wounds. The wounds are painful and serious, but not necessarily dangerous. Mr. Little had not been ?rrestei up to a late hour last night." Mr. Lee's many friends in Anderson regret to hear of his injuries, but hope that he will speedily and complotely re? cover from the effects of his wounds. The Methodist Conference. The annual meeting of the South Caro? lina Conference of tho Methodist Episco? pal Church has just been held in Ander? son. This Conference is connected with tho Northern portion of the original Meth? odist Church of this country, and is com? posed entirely of colored Churches. The Rev. B. F. Withorspoon has furnished us the following account of its session : Mb. Editor: The twenty-first session of the South Carolina Conference of the M. E. Church was opened on Wednesday, January 28th, in the Thompson Centen? nial M. E. Church of Anderson, S. C, Bishop E. G. Andrews, D. D., LL. D., presiding. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered to tho ministers of the Conference and the members of the Church. The roll was called and fifty-four answered. Rev. J. B. Middle ton was re-elected Secretary and Rev. W. R. Jervey statistical Secretary. Several assistant Secretaries were appointed. The hour of meeting and adjournment was fixed. Rev- D. E. Frierson, D. D., Rev. J. W. W?lling and Hon. H. G. Scudday were introduced to the Conference. Sev? eral visiting officials of the Church wore present The usual committees wero ap? pointed. Revs. F. Morris and L. T. Smith wero introduced. Several anniversary meetings were held during the evenings. On Sabbahth morning the Bishop preached and ordained a class of nine Deacons. In the afternoon a missionary sermon was preached by Bo v. W. H. Law? rence, after which two Elders wero or? dained. On Sabbath night the Bishop preached at the M. E.'.Church, South. The several Churches were lilled by min? isters of tl 10 Conference, an:l the Churches at Grcoiiville and Petidletoii wero sup? plied during the Sabbath. The session of the Conference wo? marked by its freedom from discussion, which was broken on Monday when the question of Camp Meetings was raised. Tho report was referred to the Presiding Elders of the Districts of the Conference. The Bishop was caused to speak when tho report on Freed men's Aid Society was submitted. Ho said that this should be the lirst collection taken in our Churches in the South. The several committees reported on Monday, one of which is worth special mention : that on memoirs on the wife of Rev. Dr. A. Webster, who died during the past year. Several spoke to tbe re? port, and tho Conference took a rising voto, singing "Servant of God, well done." None of tho ministers have died during the year. Tho collections of tho Conference this year aro smaller than last year; however, more than thirty-five thousand dollars have been raised for all purposes. The business of tho Conference has boen dispatched, with groat rapidity, as no afternoon sessions have been held up to Monday for the minute business of the Conference. Bishop Andrews is tho groat business man of our great Board of Bish? ops. For two years the Conference has pub? lished a paper known as the Methodist Messenger. On motion, It was continued, and made a weekly instead of bi-monthly. Three of the Presiding Elder's term of four years have expired. Presiding Elder J. E. Wilson received several presents, such as a silver swinging pitcher, a gold headed cane, a gold fountain pen, a set of four pieces of silvor, and a tea set. Dr. Webster and Rev. F. W. Sasportas receiv? ed presents also. More than two hundred and forty-two dollars was given to the widows and orphan children of deceased ministers, and disabled and distressed ones. Tho seat of the next Conference was fixed at Aiken, but was reconsidered and fixed at Kingstree, Williamsburg County. Eleven candidates were received on trial. One person was admitted on his credentials as a Deacon, also two were re? ceived as Elders. Fivo of the ministers of Conference wero left without appoint? ment so as to attend school. Heretofore there have been only four Districts in the Conference, but there are now five. Vote of thanks were passed commendatory to the good people of Anderson for their good care and excellent entertainment. More than one hundred and ten ministers and applicants were present. The names of the Presiding Elders are as follows: Charleston District^-Alonzo Webster. Florence District?F. L. Baxter. Greenville District?E. M. Pinckney. Orangeburg District?W. H. Lawrence. Port Royal District?E. C. Brown. Rev. J. B. Middleton was appointed to Anderson. The Conference, after tbe reading of the appointments, adjourned sine die. B. F. Witherspoon. "don't feel well."

TAYLOR & VANWYCK, DEPOT STREET. _Jan 28.1886_._20_ OFFICE OF Mc0ULLY, CATHCART & CO., ANDERSON, S. C. DEC. 24, 1885. We call your attention to the above Plow, for which we are the Agents. Call and see it, Xo our Friends and Patrons : WE have been so very busy for the past two months that we have not had lime to write a new advertisement. We desire, however, to return our thanks to our friends and customers for their very liberal patronage during tlie season, notwithstanding we have bten wearing our same old clothes, and have been unable to don a new dress. Yo i are all familiar, no doubt, with the old song of "Big Stock," "Selling out at Cost," and such headings with which the papers are tilled ; and while we have never claimec: to sell at cost, nor to carry the largest stock in the City, yet you have always found our Stock complete, and our prices as low as the lowest. We are here for the purpose of doing a legitimate business. This is our home, and we have no idea of moving to auy other clime. We understand the wants of our cus? tomers as well as any one else in the trade, and shall use every opportunity of getting the inside figures and bottom rock discounts on everything we buy, thus enabling us to sell as iow as is consistent with fair, square dealing. Now, look around and get all the "Cheap John" prices, then come to us and get full value for your money. We guaran? tee to give it. Now, we have a word to say about what we have already done: You remember about that balance you owe us on Note or Account or for Guano sold yoc. Well, we have waited patiently until the cotton season Is almost over, and must now insist that you come to see us at once, without further delay, and make set? tlement, for if you do not we will be compelled to look after our interest; and it is bet? ter for you to come to see us than for us to have to go about through the County en? quiring where you live, because ali your neighbors know what a man is after when he travels around enquiring the way to people's houses at this time of the year. So yon had betier come on and see us. Business is business, and friendship and friendly rela? tions an good things to cultivate. We must insist upon a strict compliance with the former, while we like also to enjoy the latter. Remember to call and see us when you want to sell your Cotton. We are always in the Cotton Market for Cash. Yours trulj', _McCPLLY. CATHCART & CO. FALL AND WINTER GOODS. As A FULL STOCK UT 6EITERAL MERCHANDISE, STAPLE AND FANCY DRY GOODS.

WE desire in this the beginning of the year to extend our thanks to the good peo? ple of Anderson County who have kindly given us a share of their patronage during the past year, to wish them, one and all, a prosperous and happy New Year, and to endeavor on our part to merit a continu? ance of the same kindly relations by keep? ing our SJock full in every line, and keep? ing prices down to the bottom. And to this end we would ask those who have been indulged^by us to come to the front with the "Stamps." It is no fault of ours if cotton is cheap. Our debts have got to be paid, whether cotton goe? up or down, and those who haven't paid us must do so at once. HILL BROS., Jan 7,1880 2G Drugget? > 0 s - 0 ST '< 1 rt 0 I 0 0 s ?
