Peoples have the sympathies of a host of friends in the death of their infant daughter, Lizzie,, which occurred last Thursday afternoon, after an illness of several days, aged about nine months. The little one's remains i, were laid to rest in the Baptist cemetery Friday afternoon, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. T. P. Bell, in the presence of a large concourse of friends. The newspaper fraternity congratulate themselves over the new postal law re? cently put in .force by the postoffice de? partment. ? It makes the taking of a news? paper and refusing to pay for the same, theft, and any person guilty of such action is liable to criminal proceedings' the same as if he bad stolen goods to the amount of the subscription. It is, there? fore, not a very shrewd scheme to take a newspaper ffoirj the post-ofBce for a year ' and then refuse to pay for it. Qn Wednesday morning Mr. A. B. ?Towers presented us with a basket of very fine yam potatoes, which were grown last year. They are in an excellent state of preservation. He always has plenty of potatoes, both Irish and sweet, from one end of the year to another. We thank hin} for the treat. He plants large crops of potatoes, and Is very careful in banking them. Every farmer in Anderson County could have potatoes on their table every day were they to follow the example of Mr. Towers. The "Fan Drill," which is to take place MJhe Masonic Hall this (Thursday) 'eVehirig, promises to be a most pleasing ancrn?vel entertainment, and every one ;-wlio attends may rest assurod of boiug highly entertained. Tho admission feo has been placed at the low price of 25 cents. The proceeds will be donated to the building fund of the Baptist Church. At the conclusion of the programme the ladies of the Baptist Church will havo ice cream and other refreshments for salo. We bespeak for the entertainment a lib? eral patronage. A little child of Mr. Thos B. Earle, of Savannah Township, died last Tuesday morning from the effects of eating cobalt (fly poison.) The child was taken sick at noon on Monday. At first the parents did not know what ailed it. It gradually grew worse, and later in the afternoon Dr. R. G-. Witherapoon was sent for. When he arrived he pronounced it a case of poisoning. Upon investigation it was discovered that the child had eaten of the mixture, which had molasses in it. Everything possible was done to relieve the little sufferer, but all in vain. The child was not quite three years old. On account of unforeseen circumstances the closing exercises of Mrs. C. B. Mur? ray's school did not take place last Thurs? day evening, but were postponed until last Monday evening, at which time they occurred. The weather was threatening,, but this did not prevent a good crowd of the friends and patrons of the school from being present to witness the exercises, which began promptly at 81 o'clock. .Tho exercises consisted of the rendition of a beautiful little Operetta, which was par? ticipated in by almost the entire school, and concluded with a May-pole dance. The pupils carried their respective parts in a very creditable manner, and the evening's entertainment was highly en? joyed by all present. The Columbia correspondent of the Charleston Sunday News says: "Mr. W H. Frierson, Treasurer of Anderson. Connty, has made a capital settlement of State taxes with the Comptroller General. Total State tax charged, $29,596.06*; paid State Treasurer, $28,942.24; commissions, $495.84; abated by Comptroller General for errors, $12.46; nulia bona, $145.52. In Anderson Connty. there are back taxes due by the Blue Ridge Railroad Compa? ny from 1870 to 1881 inclusive, amounting to $8,281.61. By Act of Legislature this railroad was exempted from paying any of these taxes* except the school tax on the condition that it should complete its line by a certain date. Having failed to do so the taxes have accrued, and with costs and penalties for non-payment have been transferred to Solicitor Orr for col? lection." Mr. W. A. Geer, who resides about three and one-half miles east of the city, had the misfortune to lose his dwelling house, with almost its entire contents, to? gether with an outhouse containing a good supply of provisions, on last Satur? day night by fire. Mr. Geer and his fam? ily had retired, and were aroused from their slumbers by the flames about 11 o'clock. They scarcely had time to es? cape from the building, and only succeed? ed in saving a few articles of clothing and two or three pieces of furniture. The origin of the fire is not known, but is supposed to have been accidental. There was insurance to the amount of $800 on the house and $200 on the furniture. Mr. Geer thinks his loss will exceed $1,000 over and above his insurance. He and his family have the sympathy of many friends in their misfortune. Hon. John Wilson-died at his residence in this city on last Thursday .morning at two o'clock, after ? painful illness of several weeks' dnration. By our older citizens Mr. Wilson was generally known as''Scotch John" Wilson. He was born in Scotland in 1812, and came to this country when a boy with his fathers' fam? ily. His father settled in Laurens County. He remained there with his father until 1850, when he removed to this Connty. Four years later he moved into town, where he resided until 1876, when he re? moved to Honea Path, residing there un? til last Fall, when he came back to Ander? son. Mr. Wilson was a member of the State Legislature from 1852 to 1854, and afterwards filled the position of Commis? sioner of the Poor, then Magistrate and then Trial Justice. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention in 1866. In 1870 he was elected to the State Senate, where he served the term of four years. During his residence at Honea Path he was appointed Postmaster there, which position he held for some time. Mr. Wilson was a.man of considerable me? chanical geniuB, and during his lifo he invented and patented several machines, among them a loom and a burglar gun. An aged wife and six children survive him. . His remains were interred in the Baptist cemetery Thursday afternoon, Rev. T. P. Bell conducting the funeral services. ./ A Pleasant Day at Honea Path. Last Saturday, in company with a num? ber of Andersomans, we went down to Honea Path to attend the pic nie given by the High School of that village. This school has grown and flourished under the management of Mr. J. B. Wat kins, as Principal. The session closed on Friday ,(at which time some extract speeches and other exercises were had by the smaller pupils. Saturday was set apart for the pic nie, and Rev. J. C. Furman, D. D., of Greenville, and Col. J. G. Clinkscales, of Anderson, were the invited orators for the occasion. We arrived on the train about 11,30 o'clock, and immediately repaired to the Baptist Church, where the speeches were to be delivered. The building was soon filled with an intelligent audience. The exercises opened with prayer by Rev. A. C. Stepp, who, at its conclusion, introduced Dr. Furman as the first speaker. This venerable father read a very interesting speech. His remarks were directed more especially to the boys and young men, and were replete with wisdom. Col. Clinkscales followed Dr. Furman. He addressed the as j semblage with much force and eloquence, I and, as he always does, made a most excel? lent speech, interspersing his remarks with humorous anecdotes. The Colonel made a most favorable impression upon his hear? ers, and especially upon the young ladies, some of whom regretted that he wasn't a bachelor. At the conclusion of Col. Clinkscales' speech, Mr. Watkins called on Mr. Stepp, who responded in a few interesting re? marks. . The crowd then repaired to the beautiful grove surrounding the Church, where a most sumptuous basket dinner was served. We had several cordial invitations from friends to dine with them, and regret that we could not accept all of them. We dined with our genial friend, M. I. Brock, and we think we did full justice to the excel? lent dinner. The afternoon was spent in a social way. The grove was foil of charming young la? dies, who yied with each othpr in enter? taining the young bachelors. We had to leave on the afternoon train, and therefore was prevented from participating in the lawn party, which was given in the even? ing. We are told it was a most enjoyable Occasion. Just as yre were leaving, an interesting match game of base ball was begun between the Honea Path and Donaldsville Clubs. We are informed that Honea Path came off victorious, the score standing 13 to 8 in her favor. Mr. Watkins, the Principal of the school, is also editor of tho Plaindealer. He is a courteous gentleman, and a very efficient teacher. Ho .is very popular among Iiis patrons and the citizens generally. His roll of pupils reached as high as 140 during the past session. Honea Path is fortunate in securing tho services of such a worthy preceptor at the head of her school. The day was a most pleasant one for us. We met many old friends, and made many new ones- The people of Honea Path are noted for their sociablcness and hospitality, and they fully sustained their reputation last Saturday. The Seminary Commencement. The sixth annual Commencement of the Anderson Female Seminary took place on Wednesday evening, Friday morning and Friday evening of last week. It is generally conceded to have been tho most brilliant Commencement in the his? tory of the Seminary. Everybody ex? pected an interesting entertainment, and in this they were not disappointed, for the exercises throughout were most interest? ing and entertaining. The occasion at? tracted quite a number of visitors to the city. The exercises were held in tho yard in front of the Seminary building, where a platform, about thirty feet square, had been erected on a level with the piazza and immediately in front of it. On the banisters of the piazza of the second story the words, "Excelsior?Anderson Female Seminary," were displayed in illuminated letters. The platform and piazza were decorated in a beautiful and tasteful man? ner with evergreens and flowers. The grounds and the front of the building were brilliantly lighted with lamps and Japanese lanterns, which wero suspended from the ceiling of the piazza and the arches over the platform. Everything displayed the skill and taste of the fair hands of tho faculty and pupils of tho Seminary, and altogether it presented a most beautiful scene. In front and on each side of the plat? form were arranged a large number of comfortable seats, capable of accommo? dating several hundred people. Before the exercises began these seats were all occupied, many people being present from the surrounding country. At the appointed hour the pupils of the Seminary marched out of the building and took their seats immediately in front and on each side of the platform, chairs having been reserved for them. The little girls of the primary department occupied seats on the piazza. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. T. F. Gads den, after which Gen. Aver, in a few ap? propriate remarks, extended a cordial welcome to the people assembled, and thanked them for their presence. The following was the programme for the evening: Opening chorus?"Who will to toe Greenwood Hie?"?fourteen voices. Instrumental solo?Miss Hattie Hoke. Essay?by Miss Sallie Hughey. Sub? ject: "Conscience." Read by Dr. J. O. Wilhite.x . This was followed by the Cantata, "Quarrel among the Flowers," which was beautifully rendered by about thirty little girls of the primary department. Each one sustained her part in a charm? ing manner. The Cantata elicited con? siderable applause, and was highly en? joyed by the audience. Essay?by Miss Mattie Clark. Subject: "The Printing Press."

Essay?by Miss Irene Goodman. Sub? ject: "The Four-Leaf Clover." Road by Mr. J.M. Sullivan. ? The programme was concluded with a vocal chorus, "Once again the Day has Closed," by twelve young ladies. The exercises on Friday morning con? sisted of reading the reports of the exam? ination, and was attended mostly by the patrons and pupils of tho school. To them the exercises were exceedingly in? teresting. The examinations had been very rigid, and the progress each pupil bad made was satisfactory to the patrons as well as to the faculty. On Friday evening another large and appreciative audience was present to wit? ness the concluding exercises of the Com? mencement. The evening was a most beautiful and pleasant one. Upon the platform sat the young ladies of the grad? uating class, seven in number. The ex? ercises were opened with .prayer by Rev. Dr. Bailey, after which the following pro? gramme was rendered: Vocal chorus?"Summer Eve," nine? teen voices. Instrumental duet?"II Trovatore," Misses Hattie and Carrie Hoke. At this juncture, Rev. John Stout, of Society Hill, S. C, who had been selected to deliver the annual address before the Exocheau Literary Society, was intro? duced. Mr. Stout anuounced as his sub? ject, "The Position of the Educated Wo? man in Modern Society," which he dis? cussed in a very plain, practical manner. Ho held the attention of the audience for about thirty minutes. Vocal duet?"Night in Venice," Misso3 Lulah Ayer and Blanche Goodman. Instrumental solo?' 'Chopin's Polo? naise," Miss Verna Ayer.

The exercises were concluded with a vo? cal chorus, "Wondrous Lovely Spring," eight voices. Geu. Ayer and his efficient assistants should be congratulated upon the success of the exercises. In every part of tho programme the pupils displayed tho thor? ough training their minds had under? gone, reflecting credit not only upon themselves, but also upon their 'accom? plished preceptors. The essays of the graduating class were excellent produc? tions, and the songs and instrumental pieces rendered by the pupils were very fine. This institution ranks as one of the best female seminaries jn tho State, and our people are and should be proud of it. Gen. Ayer, tho sagacious President, de? serves the liberal support he is receiving, and next session we hope his roll of pu? pils will bo larger than ever befora Want to close out my Syrup and Mo? lasses, and will sell very cheap; Come and sec.

After hearing tho reports of the various officers, an election of officers for the ensuing year was held, and resulted in the re-election of the officers who have so efficiently and faithfully ad? ministered the affairs of the Association since its organization. The Constitution was amended, so as to lend money to stock? holders in future to the amount actually paid on stock, upon entering into bond and assignment of stock. The Association does not owe a dollar, and is in a very flourish? ing condition, as is shown by the following statement, which is a summary of the business done by the Association for the last three years: LIABILITIES. Capital Stock paid in?156 assess? ments on 999 shares? 25c.$38,961 00 Payments in advance of assessments. 373 75 Payments in advance of interest. <il 00 -$30,395 75 I'ROFITS.

Fence Company, who arc sole agents for South Carolina for the sale of the Van Horn Im? proved Fence Making Machine, which was invented about two years ago. There are a great many fence machines on the market, but this machine is recognized wherever :t has been introduced as one of the best. It is simple in construction, easily operated and docs its work in a very substantial manner. The Messrs. Sullivan have one of the machines at work in their warehouse in this city, and on Tuesday we witnessed its operation. The cut in the advertisement shows how the fence is constructed. The pickets may be made of any kind of wood, though with us pine is the best, as it is the cheapest and most convenient. The wire used Is made of galvanized steel wire, No. 121, which is interwoven with pickets placed from one and a half to four inches apart as may be desired. The fence may be made any desired height. The machine can be operated by one man, though with the assistance of a boy it may be operated/mnch faster. The wire is twisted around the pickets, which are made so secure that it is impossible to pull them out after they are fastened. It makes an even, continuous twist, which increases the.strength of the wire. This fence is strong, durable and cheap, and only requires half the posts used in the ordinary fence. It is cheaper than any wooden fence that can be built, and will last three times as long. For yards and lawns the fence may be made by using ornamental pickets of either wood or iron. It is put up by a stretcher, which makes sagging impossible. This fence, we believe, will become pop? ular with our farmers, as it is portable and may be easily moved from one field to another, and there is no danger of mutilat? ing stock, as is the case with barbed wire. It will turn all kinds of stock, from the pig to the steer. For yards it makes a beautiful fence. We advise our readers when they visit the city to call upon the Messrs. Sullivan and see samples of this fence. They will take great pleasure in showing you how it is manufactured, and in giving yon any information as to cost, &c. They are manufacturing it every day, and are receiving orders for it from almost every section. Any one wishing to engage in a profitable business, should purchase one of the machines, which are sold at a reason price. A Shooting Affray. The Honea Path Platndcalcr, of the 10th inst., gives the following account of a shooting affair which occurred in that Township, on last Wednesday: On yesterday morning a lawless body of armed men from Abbeville County," con? sisting of A. B. Hamblin, Gus Williams, Will Cox, Thomas Southerland, and Bud Lee Clinkscales went to the House of James R. Nelson of this Township, for the purpose of taking away a sister of Nelson with whom it is alleged Hamlin has been too intimate. When the party reached Nelson's bouse he ordered them to leave, but Hamlin went into the house, and Mr. Nelson says fired at him with a pistol, and that he (Nelson) then got his gun and returned the fire, shooting him in the back. The wound made in Hamlin's back is an ugly one, and looks as if it contained a heavy load of bird shot, but it is not considered dangerous. As soon as the shooting was over, Nelson came to this place and took out a warrant for the parties, and as they passed through the town on their way home they were arrested by Special Constables Ashley and Donnald. To-day a preliminary trial was held by J. J. Trupsell, Esq., and the parties required to give bouds for their appearance at Court. Mr. J. S. Fowler of Anderson went on Mr. Hamlin's bond and Mr. Southerland gave his father. Messrs. Cox and Williams were unable to give bond, as their friends did not know of their trouble, and as their only alternative was to go to jail they concluded co turn State's evidence, and let it be known who was principally to blame. We have been unable to get hold of their statement, but it is believed that thev will implicate Hamlin very heavil}'. We should have stated that Mr. Clinkscales was not with the party when they reached this place, and therefore was not arrested. From what we can learn this is one of tho most dastardly outrages that has been perpetrated in this community for a long time, and we hope our Courts will inflict due punishment on the guilty ones. That the parties intended to accomplish their object at all hazards was proven to our mind by the fact that they were fully arm? ed, three pistols being found concealed after tbey were arrested. If Mr. Nelson's neighbors had known of the occurrence while the parties were at his house it is very probable that a Coroner's Jury would have been needed, as the whole community is greatly incensed, and the only regret expressed by a great many is, that Mr. Nelson's gun was not loaded with buck-shot. In Justice to some of the younger ones of the party, we do not believe they realized what they were going into, and we hope this will teach them a lesson that will ben? efit them through life. Mr. Hamlin's bond was signed by Messrs, J. C. Hamlin and J. S. Fowler instead of Mr. Fowler alone as our contemporary has it. Helton News. Mr. T. F. Itiley and lady are visiting their daughter, Mrs. Robt. McGee. Messrs. J. N. Sutherland & Co. have put up a steam corn mill in town. We are pained to report two deaths this week. Mrs. J. L.

Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic is meet ing with unprecedented sales, because it does what the manufacturers claim for it. Westmoreland Bros., Sole Proprietors, Greenville, 8. C. Greenville, S. 0. Mess. Westmoreland Bros.: I have for years been a sutler er from weak stomach ?lack of power to digest food?and cdh sequently general debility. I had tried all helps that eminent physicians and all the materia medica could suggest, and found little or no relief. Your Calisaya Tonic was recommended to me by a friend who had used it, who had been suffering like myself. I tried it, and by the use of three or four bottles found I was much stronger, could eat and sleep and do hard work as I never did before. It is now more than a year that I have enjoyed un? interrupted good health, and by the occa sioual use of your Tonic I have enjoyed a degree of health that I have not enjoyed for fifty years, and I have now got to the three score. I am very desirous tiiat others suffering as I havo done should know the great value of your Tonic, a.nd therefore make this statement that it should induce them to try it. Gratefully yours, J. B. Sherman, Gen. Mechanic. Wilhite & Wilhite, Wholesale Agents, Anderson, S. C. Care for Files. Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of weight in the back, loins and lower pan; of the abdomen, causing the patient to sap pose he has some affection of the kidneys or neighboring organs. At times, symp? toms of indigestion are present, flatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A mois? ture like perspiration, producing a very disagreeable itching, after getting warm, is a common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at once to the applica? tion of Dr. Bosanko's Pile remedy, which acts directly upon the parts affected, absorb? ing the Tumors, allaying the intense itch? ing, and effecting a permanent cure.

Many suffering people drag themselves about with failing strength, feeling that they are steadily sinking into the grave, when by using Parker's Tonic they would find a cure commencing with r.he first dose, and vitality and strength surnly coming back to them. "I am G3 years old; have been sick nearly all my life, and ought to know something about medicine by this time. I have used Parkers's Tonic freely for more than a year, and consider it the best remedy I have ever known. In facf, I now find no other medicine necessary. For weakness, debility, rheumatism, ?.nd that distressing all-goneness and pain from which I suffered so long, it has no equal. I do not see how any one can afford to do without so valuable a medi? cine."? Mrs. Hattie N. Graves, or. East and Front streets, Providence, R. I. Parker's Tonic. [Prepared by Hiscox <ft Co., N.
