R., which will take place on the Sth of June. Spikes are being driven in the cross-ties all along the road on one side, so that the rails can be moved and made secure in a very short time.

Bryan, of the Central system of railroads, and Mr. M. E. Trumer, of the Jefferson, Madison & Indianoplis Railroad. A horse attached to a sewing machine wagon made things lively on lower Main street Monday morning by running away. The wagon was turned over, and the two machines and the driver thrown out.

The surplus leg bung from the left side, and was nearly as large as the other legs, though the chicken seemed to have -no control over it. The chicken was a week old and was lively, and well-formed. Miss Lizzie B. Cornish, of l'endleton, S. C, has gone to the Boston Conservatory of music to take a thorough course in the higher branches of music and volcal cul? ture. Miss Cornish is a young lady of rare accomplishments and culture, who will doubtless enjoy and utilize the ad? vantages of the institution which she is attending. Hill Bros., who are noted for handling excellent cigars, have just received a new brand?"Our Sam"?which promises to become very popular.

The tickets will be on sale on the 26th, 27th and 28th mat., and are good until 3rd of May. This is the most pleas? ant season of the year to visit Charleston, and this low rate will no doubt induce many persons from the up-country to visit that city. Bleekley, Brown & Fretwell have an interesting advertisement in this week's Intelligencer, and it will do you good to read it. A visit to their store will con? vince you that they have one of tho most attractive stocks of goods ever shown in upper Carolina. They buy their goods in big lots and do a huge business, conse? quently they can afford to dispose of their goods at small profits. Take our advice and visit this firm. A Farmers' Club was organized at Slab town Academy on Saturday, 17th inst. Capt. G. A. Rankin was elected Chairman and John M. Glenn Secretary. After at? tending to some routine business, John M.

The meeting ad? journed to meet again on the second Sat? urday in May, at 3 o'clock p. m. Mr. H. C. Poe, Soliciting Agent of the South Carolina Railroad Company, was in the city last Monday. Mr. Poe is a na- : tive of Anderson County, having been born and raised at Pendleton. By bis excellent business qualifications and thorough knowledge of railroad business, he has worked himself up to bis present position, which is an important one. He is a very pleasant gentleman, and we are always glad to see him in Anderson. The Leesburg (Pia.) Commercial of the 15th inst., says: "Dr. P. A. Wilhite leaves to-morrow for South Carolina, but he will return in the Fall. His fiue Win? ter home in Orange Bend is a sufficient attraction to lure him back, and especially so when tho frosty air of auother Winter there recalls to memory the balmy atmos? phere of our sunny land." The Doctor will reach home to-day, and will, bo gladly welcomed by his many friends. Ham Webb's moustache is beginning to attract the admiration of the girls as well as the boys. Some of tho latter have in? quired of Ham how he made it grow so rapidly. At first ho seemed loth to teli, but the inquiries were so frequent that he finally told them he used the fertilizer manufactured by the Anderson Oil Mill. Since he let the secret out, numbers of tbe youth of the city, it is said, are rubbing this fertilizer on their downy lip every day. In tearing down the front wall to make some improvements in the drug store now occupied by Messrs. Orr ?fc Sloan, on the south side of the square, the work? men in removing the corner stone found a bottle closed with a leaden stopper, and upon breaking it found a piece of round silver about the size of a dollar which was inscribed upon its face as follows: "Built by Joptha F. Wilson for J. P. Benson, 1845," and on the reverse side were the words, "Deposited by Jno. B. Wynne." The improvement will be completed during the coming week, and wiU add greatly to the convenience and attractiveness of the drug store. List of letters remaining in tho Post office for the week ending April 21 : Ida Blackmon, Mattio Banks, Henry Car? son, Andorson Dickson, Effie Freeman, Rev. Thos. H-. Garret (2), Mrs. Margaret Harris (2), Mrs. M. Pi. Harris, Mrs. Nancy Harper, E. B. Harrison, S. A. Jones, Miss Mary Jones, James S. Loliess, Miss Hes? ter Reed, .Tno. R. Smith, Jas. H. Smith, David Smith, Mrs. Louvinia Smith, Mrs. Harriet Simmons, Mrs. Betty Thomas, H. S. Thompson, Mrs. Lou Williams, col., B. L. Young. This paragraph from an exchange con? tains a good deal of wisdom presonted in a very effective manner. It says: "Young man, it is a good thing to keep on the right side of 3'our dollar. It makes a great difference in your comfort and pros? perity whether you spend 93 per cent, or 100 per cent of it, but it is a positive insult to the dollar to spend 105 per cent, of it. You will be sorry enough for it when the dollar gets a fair grip upon you. A dollar represents a mortgage upon itself. It will never serve you cheerfully if j-ou dispose of it before you get it." Messrs. Means & McGee have ordered a very pretty uniform for tho Young America Cornet Band, and it is expected to arrive in a few days. The uniform will consist of blue flannel suits, with brass buttons, and caps to match. The Young America has devoted the Winter months to practice, and are now ready to mako engagements to render-music at any place on any occasion during the Summer. They furnish excellent music, and their terms are very reasonable. Persons de? siring to engage the services of tho Band should address Col: J. W. Trowbridge, this city. The coming ovent in the way of amuse? ments will be tho production of the opera "Mikado," by a number of our young ladies and gentlemen next Tuesday even? ing in the Masonic Hall. The Company has been rehearsing the opera for a month or more, and it is safe to predict that it will be rendered in oxcellent style. The Company embraces about fifteen per? sons, and includos tho best voices in the city. The opora is exceedingly interest? ing, and those who attend may rest as? sured that they will be highly entertain? ed. The proceeds of the entertainment will be donated to the building fund of the new Methodist Church. The young ladies and gentlemen engaged in tho opera have spared neither time nor ex? pense in getting it up, and we bespeak for them a crowded house. Tickets will be on sale at Hill Bros, drug store on Mon? day and Tuesday. The admission price is 75 cents, with no extra charge for re? served seats. Last Friday evening the fifteen dele? gates, representing the three Fire Compa? nies in the city, mot in the Pioneers' Hall for the purpose of electing a Chief, an As? sistant Chief and a Secretary and Treasu? rer of the Anderson Fire Department. The City Council had given the Compa? nies this privilege, reserving the right to either reject or confirm the gentlemen selected for the positions. The election had been talked of among the Firemen for several days prior, and considerable interest bad been aroused among them in regard to it, especially in the selection of a Chief. When the delegations assembled, Mr. G. M. Tolly, of the Hook and Ladder Company, was called to the chair, and Mr. J. M. Ciitbcart, of the Pioneers, re? quested to act as Secretary. Nominations for Chief being declared in order, Dr. R. F. Divver and Mr. A. W. Todd were nom? inated. A ballot was ordered and Dr. Divver declared elected, he having re? ceived eight votes and Mr. Todd seven. Mr. John O'Donnoll was thon elected As? sistant Chief, and Mr. J. M. Cathcart Sec? retary and Treasurer The Council met on Saturday and confirmed these gentle? men, who will make most efficient offi? cers. A Visit to Greenville. Last week business called us to our neighbor city, Greenville, where we spent a day and two nights very pleasantly. Since our last visit there many improve? ments have been made, and the work is still going on. In the past few months the city has been visited by several disas? trous fires, but the owners of the proper? ty are energetic, progressive men, and are promptly rebuilding. We met a number of the substantial business men of the city, all of whom made a very favorable impression upon us. Among those we visited were Messrs. Westmoreland Bros., the proprietors of the Calisaya Tonic, an advertisement of which is running in the Intelligence!;. These gentlemen are building up a fine trade in this medicine, which is recog? nized as one of the best preparations on the market. It is highly spoken of in Anderson by those who have used it. We also visited Messrs. D. T. Bacot ifc Co., another one of our advertisers, who are manufacturers of an excellent liver pill, which is becoming quite popular. Business was like it is everywhere else just now?on tho decline. The merchants, however, have had a line Winter trade, and can afford to stand tho dull season. Greenville's local industries are a con? siderable backing to her welfaro and pros? perity. Her factories are prosperous, and afford employment to a large number of hands. We regret that limited time for? bid us accepting several invitations to take a stroll through these enterprises. From these industries Anderson might learn a lesson. If we had a few such, how much more prosperous would our growing city become. We took a stroll over a good portion of the business part of the city, and found thrift and enterprise on every hand. The colleges and schools are flourishing, and the church buildings aro an honor to the city. The Presbyterians have recently completed a $22,000 edifice, which is one of the handsomest church buildings in the State. Our brethren of the press seemed to be prosperous. Messrs. Hoyt & Keys, the proprietors of the Baptist Courier, aro ex Andersonlans, but they aro thoroughly identified with Greenville and her inter? ests. Their excellent paper, however, is the State organ of tho Baptist denomina? tion,and is doing a great work. It de? serves the liberal support It is receiving, for it has few superiors as a roligious paper. Capt. A. B. Williams, the hand? some and brainy proprietor of tho News, is also an adopted citizen of Greenville, but he has his whole soul interested in her welfare, and is doing his share in the upbuilding of the city. We called on Mr. Bailey, of tho popular and faithful old Enterprise and Mountaineer, but failed to seo him. Wo met a number.\of ex-Audersonians, who are residents of tho city, and all of them seemed to be faring well. During our stay in the city we made our headquarters with Col. W. T. White, at the Exchange, which is one of the best kept hotels in the State. In a few weeks Col. White will movo from tho Exchange to the Goodwyn House, on Main street, which is more commodious and which has been thoroughly renovated, being fur? nished with all the modern conveniences. His increasing business forced him to do this. Col. White is a most excellent gen? tlemen, and does every thing in his power to entertain his guests and mako them comfortable. We could writo two or three columns on Greenville and her enterprises, but our time and space forbids. Wo are especially indebted to our young friends and former townsmen, Messrs. H. H. Wilcox and P. W, Symmes, for many favors shown us during our visit. Always buy your coffee from j. P. Sullivan & Co. Holland's Store Items. Mil Editor: As wo seldom see tiny thing from this section, will give you a fow items. Sonic unprincipled villain used tho windows of Shiloh Church as a target for bis markmanship some time tho past week. We are not aware who tho perpe? trator is, but will use every means to ferret him out and bring him to justice. Such things should not be toloralod in a civil? ized community. Tho farmers are working with a vim. A large number have finished planting cot? ton. Some havo corn up nearly large enough to work. Wheat and oats aro looking very well, where the latter did not get killed out. Mr. T. B. Wright has a 12-acre field of wheat that will hide a rabbit all over. Come down this Spring or Summer, Mr. Editor, and take a fishing excursion with us on tho Savannah. I will prom? ise, however, that ydu will not get in the predicament that friend Smith did in Florida. I am afraid ho has destroj-ed his usefulness as a Sunday School lecturer in our part of tho County. Burke. [We are truly glad to hore from "Burko," aud hopo he will favor us with frequent contributions. If possible we will take advantage of his kind invitation to visit him.?Local Ed.] >'o\vs from Other Counties. The school girls of Troy, Edgefield County, have a military company and a base ball nine. The screens have been removed from the front of the bar-rooms in Sumter. The County Commissioners, backed by the Grand Jury, were the moving cause. So far as we have been able to learn, pro? hibition will be the winning issue in the next campaign. Duo West is overwhelm? ingly in favor of it. On my own responsi? bility I take the liberty of nominating Dr. J. W. Wideman on this ticket for the House. We know he is favorable to it.? Due West Correspondence Abbeville Messenger The track-layers on the Savannah Valley are in the midst of s ome heavy and lengthy trestle work and their progress, as regards covering space, is necessarily slow. The work is being carefully and well done, and after they cross Becky River, near Lowndes ville, they will have smoother sailing and will move along at a rapid rate. "On to Anderson" is tho watch-word.?McCormick Advance. The Laurensville Herald states that a counterfeit silver dollar, or what has the appearance of a silver dollar, is in circula? tion and the public would do well to keep asharpoyoto the/'dollar of our daddies" before taking such coin. It is easily de? tected, however, especially when compared with thegenuine. The counterfeit is lighter than the genuine and feels like polished soapstone or lead, though it is a good imi? tation of the silver dollar now in general circulation. Hardy White, a colored citizen of Fort Mill Township, in this County, is in pros? perous circumstances, and his success in life is a fair example of what any of his race can accomplish by using the proper means, while it also goes to show that-in the acquirement of a competency the black man has an equal chance with the white man, and that in this County no obstacles are thrown in the way of the colored race. Handy was a slave of the late William White, and after emancipation he began working on Capt. S. E. White's land, rent? ing for six or seven years as much as he could work. By economy and good man? agement he has been enabled to buy 115 acres, for which he paid $12 per aero, and with his family is comfortably situated, with stock and farming implements in abundance, running six plows, and has cotton of last year's crop on hand.? York ville Enquirer. Mr. W. W. Wilson, a citizen of George? town County, was accidentally shot and killed by Mr. William Lambert, of the same County, on Thursday morning last in the neighborhood of Cedar Creek, just across the Williamsburg line. On Wed? nesday evening these gentlemen made an engagement to go turkey hunting the next morning and were to meet at a designated place. They reached there from different directions. About daylight Mr. Lambert heard the gobbling of a turkey and ap? proached as near as he could, but before he could get an opportunity to shoot it flew down in the opposite direction from a tree which Mr. Lambert was nearing. He followed it and saw an object through the bushes, which he thought was a turkey, but it was his comrade, Mr. Wilson, crawling on the ground trying to shoot the same turkey. As soon as the smoke cleared away from his gun he looked to see if he had killed the turkey, but to his great horror Mr. Wilson rose up and approached him saying, "You have killed me, take care of my wife and children." He had been struck in the neck and in the side of the body with large shot, and the blood was spurting from the wounds. Assisted by Mr. Lambert he walked some distance, but soon sank to tho ground. Mr. Lambert hurried to the nearest house for assistance, but on returning found Mr. Wilson dead. He was a young man and leaves a wife and several children.? Williamsburg Co. Record, April 14.

Bead This Carofally. Tho following letter from a well-known Western lady explains itself and is worthy of careful reading: "I wish to say to the sick and those that are feeble and weak from any cause whatever, that in all the vocabulary of medicines they will find the most virtue aud the greatest benefits from Parker's Tonic. I have been an invalid for fivo or six years past, and give up to die by the most skillful physicians of Kansas and Colorado, but Parker's Tonic has kept me alive, and raised me lip after everything elso failed. I have organic heart disease, combined with spinal and great nervous debility, and have cold sinking spells with no pulse, and the only medicine that will bring on a reaction is Parker's Tonic. I have never known it to fail in curing a cold if taken ^n time, and it will relieve pain quicker than any remedy I have ever tried. I send you this because I would like for others to know how much good it has done mo. It is just as good for children. Tr3r it and be convinced." Mrs. D. Shultz, Louisville, Kansas. Parker's Tonic.
