Tugaloo correspondence of tho Walhalla Courier: "We spent a portion of Wednes? day very pleasantly and very busily in Anderson City. Andorson was formerly our cotton market, and wo still like for our old Andorson friends to cut our cot? ton, especially when wo want a first-class article of merchandise that other markets do not keep. Retail prices and goods in some instances are more inducive than Atlanta. The first bid on cotton was cents, which was accepted without offer? ing to other parties." There is evidently no scarcity of money in tho country if wo arc to judge by the business our clever friend, Mr. C. A. Reed, on Main street, is doing. Last Sat? urday he sold four buggies, one carriage and three sewing machines?all for cash. Mr. Reed deals exclusively in buggies and sewing machines, which ho buys out? right for cash and sells for a small profit. If any of our readers need a buggy or sewing machine, they should visit Mr. Reed's establishment aud get bis prices. Whon you buy of him you may rest as? sured of getting full value of your money. Mr. H. M. Goer, who, with his brother, Mr. Andrew Geer, has just returned from a visit to Lowndesvillo, informs us that the Savannah Valley Railroad will bo completed to that village on or about the 15th of May, and that the people of the surrounding country will eclcbrato tho occasion with a grand pic nie. lie says that the trestle over Rock}' River has been completed, and that there are seventeen small trestles between the river aud Lowudesville, a distance of about two miles. He reports tho small grain crop 25 per cent, bettor in Anderson County than in Abbeville, and says the farmers in the townships around Anderson are farther advanced with their work than those of adjoining townships. Last Mondaj- afternoon Mrs. Mary A. McLain, who iesided with her daughter, Mrs. J. A- Elgin, in Broadaway Town? ship, committed suicide by jumping into a well. Coroner Nance held an inquest over the body on Tuesday, and from the evidence adduced it seems that the unfor? tunate lady had been in bad health for several months, and it is supposed that she was laboring under a temporary libera? tion of mind when she committed tho act. Mrs. Elgin had gone out to one of the fields for a few moments and left her mother in bed. When she returned she missed her, and upon investigation found her in the well, which is forty-two feet deep. Mrs. Elgiu called her husband, who, with the assistance of some neigh? bors, drew Mrs. McLain out of the weil. Mrs. McLain lived about one hour after she was drawn from the well, though she was insensible. Tho verdict of tho jury was that she came to her death by her own voluntary act. Miss Kate Simpson died at tho resi? dence of her uncle, Mr. J. B. Simpson, in this cit}-, on Wednesday night of last week, after an illness of about nine days, aged about 21 years. Miss Simpson was the eldest daughter of the late James Simpson, and was a most excellent young lad}'. Since her father's death sho has made her home with an aunt in Rock Mills Township, but three or four weeks ago sho came to the city to visit hor rela? tives, and was stricken down with tho disease which resulted in her death. Her death was full of Christian resignation, and she passed from this world with the full hope of a blessed immortality. Her remains were carried to Roberts' Church on Friday morning, and there interred beside a twiu brother, who died two years a; o, Rev. T. C. Ligon conducting the funeral services, in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends and rela? tives. A Brilliant Success. The rendition of "Mikado" by an ama? teur company of this city on last Tuesday evening in the Masonic Hall was a bril? liant success, and was witnessed by a very largo and highly appreciative audience The Opera, though a burlesque, is exceed? ingly interesting, and from the rising of the curtain to the end the enthusiastic audience seemed more than delighted. Tho cast of the characters was admirablo, and each one sustained their part in^a most creditable manner. Dr. S. M. Orr, as "Mikado," did full justice to tho char? acter, and Dr. E. C. Frierson, as "Nanki Pooh," with his fine tenor voico, would have been creditable to a professional. Capt. T. F. Hill, in tho character of ??Ivo Ko," sustained his well-known reputa? tion, aud added to himself new laurels. He was encored several times. "Pooh Bah" was excellently sustained by Mr. J. G. Cunningham, as was also "Pish-Tish" by Mr. R. C. Cunningham. Miss Annie Bleckley fairly captivated the audience as "Yum-Yum," and deserved tho liberal applause sho received. Miss Leila White, as "PittiSing," and Miss Ida Bewley, as "Pecp-Bo," sustained their parts excel? lently. "Katisha" was admirably sus? tained by Mrs. Mary Orr Earlc, who camo up fully to the expectation of the audi? ence. Masters Harry Orr and Marshall Prevost were tho Mikado's attendant.-. Tho chorus was composed of Mrs. J. E. Peoples, Miss Jessie Trowbridgo and Messrs. Wilber Sadler, Walter White and George Evans, all of whom added much to the singing, which was very line throughout. Tho company wore tho Japaneso costume. Mrs. (J. G. Richie was the musical directress, and to her much of tho success of tho Opera should be attributed. Wo had seen the Opera rendered by professional?, and must say that the rendition by our amateurs com? pared very favorably to them. The large audienco was so highly enter? tained, that tho company, by special re? quest, repeated the opera on Wednesday evening. Belton Items. The Little Gleaners Missionary Society will give a free entertainment in Stringer's Hall on next Friday evening, the 30th. Doors will bo opened at four o'clock, aud continue open until a late hour.

Miss Tena Breuecko, of Walhalla, is visiting Miss Emma Clinkscales. Mrs. Mary Ann McLane, who lives near Neal's Crook Church, committed suicide last Monday evening by jumping into a well at her residence. No one was at tho house at tho time. Upon finding that she was not to be found in tho house a search was made, when she was found in tho well, still living. She died shortly after being drawn out. Mrs. McLane had been in ill health for several years, and it is thought her mind became affected? hence tho suicide. W. E. B. St orevlllc Farmern1 Club.

The hawk had in its talons a one-year-old carp and was flying at a distance of 123 yards when Mr. Cason brought him to the ground with a rifle bal^ Mr. Cason is in his 05th year but can draw a bead with a rifle as unerringly as any of the boys. The king-fishers, cranes, ducks, turtles, frogs, snakes, etc., play sad havoc with the carp, and should be destroyed as much as possible. One blue crane, we are told, destroyed 100 carp in a day and night. ?Harhvcll Sun. Mr. F. A. Hatch, State organizer of the Knights of Labor, lias gone to Charleston to organize to-night two assemblies of the Order, the first formed in the city. There is a large and growing assembly in Colum? bia. It is probably not generally known that negroes are being initiated into the Order in South Carolina. One of the two assemblies in Florence is composed "of colored men and one is soon to be organized here. There is opposition to this feature of the labor movement, but it seems to be the general policy of the Order to debar no one from membership on account of color. The question this policy brings up is a grave one.?Columbia Correspondence News and Corn ier, April 2-1. A colorod man pretended to two white men that he knew the whereabouts of?i fugitive from Justice, one of Abbeville County'3 offenders, for whom a reward has been offered. The would be detective after telling two or three different tales about tho matter, last week conducted the'men to the house of Speckled John Hunter, in this County, and said that John was the man.
