The Greenville News says a little boy, the son of George Cooper, of Brushy Creek Township, this County, died very suddenly last Saturday morning. He was about two years old and apparently in perfect health. He ate a hearty break? fast at the usual time and a little while afterward fell, and was a corpse in a few minutes. Death is supposed to have been caused by croup. The C. & G. R. R. will sell round trip tickets to the State Fair in Columbia from the following points at the rates named: Anderson, Pelzer and William? ston, ?3.95; Pen die ton, Autun and Bird's Crossing, 84.15; Belton, $3.70; Honea Path, $3.50.

This arrangement goes into effect on 1st November. Two earthquake shocks were felt in An? derson last Friday, one at 5.30 in the morningand the other at 2.45 in the after? noon. Both were more severe than any since the night of the 31st of August. The one in the afternoon was perhaps the severest, though opinions differ as to the comparative violence of the two shocks, both of which caused a little uneasiness. Both shocks were felt in various sections of the country, but no damage has been reported. We regret to learn that little James, in? fant son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert S. Sner ard, of the Corner township, died on last Monday fronr'diptheria, aged twenty-two .months. The fond parents have the sym? pathy of their friends in the sad bereave? ment which takes from them a bright and interesting little boy. Their loss, how? ever, is his gain. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. C. Pgessly, and the remains interred in the penerostee cemetery. We would direct your attention to the new advertisement of John M. Hubbard & Bro., whose stock of jewelry, silver? ware, watches, clocks, etc., is complete, and which is being offered at remarkably low prices. Give these young gentlemen a call and look at their goods. They will take great pleasure in showing them, and anything you buy of them you may de fiend upon it being just as represented, f your watch, clock or jewelry needs re? pairing they will do it for you on short notice. Last Saturday morning the angel of death again invaded our city, ana this time bore away little Beulah, the bright and Interesting daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Feaster Brown, after a brief but pain? ful illness from diphtheria. She was just four years of age, and, being the only child, was the idol of fond parents, who have the sympathy of a host of friends in their sore bereavement. The remains were interred at the Baptist cemetery on Saturday, appropriate funeral services be? ing conducted at the home of the parents by Rev. L. M. Ayer. The gin house, saw mill and corn mill of Mr. L. Reid Watson, situated in Hope well Township, about 41 miles from the city, were destroyed by fire last Friday morning, between 3 and 4 o'clock. Two gins, a press, two 2-borse wagons, plat? form scales and ten bales of cotton were also consumed. The engine, too, was badly damaged. The loss will aggregate $1,500, two-thirds of which falls on Mr. Watson. Mr. J. M. Mosely was the next heaviest loser- Three bales of the cotton and one of the wagons belonged to him. The fire is supposed to have been acci? dental. A most interesting entertainment will take place in the Masonic Hall this (Thurs? day evening. The Anderson Dramatic Club will render the patriotic drama, in two acts, entitled "One Hundred Years Ago." Between the acts Mr. J. T. Lloyd, of Greenville, will appear in several character songs. Mr. Lloyd has some reputation1 as a mimic, and will add much to the evening's entertainment. The pro? gramme will conclude with an amusing, original oration on "De Erfquake," by Mr. A. W. Todd, who never fails to amuse. The programme will'be interspersed with, some excellent selections of music by Messrs. J. Poppe and L. L. Green. The proceeds of the entertainment will be do? nated to the Benevolent Hose Company. Admission, 50 cents ; reserved seats with? out extra charge. Tickets for sale at Hill Bros, An alarm of fire was sounded about 1 o'clock last Saturday morning. The fire department responded promptly, and found an outhouse in the yard of Col. J. N. Brown, on North Main street, in flames. The Are had gained such a head? way' that it was impossible to save the building, and the firemen turned their attention to protecting Col. Brown's dwelling, which they did successfully. The house destroyed consisted of two rooms, with a chimney in the centre. One room was used as a kitchen, and the other as a lumber-room. No fire had been in the building since 2 o'clock on Friday. Col. Brown estimates his loss at about $300. This makes the third out? house in that section of the city that has been burned within the last few week, and it is the general opinion that an incendia? ry is at work. ' The City Council should endeavor to ferret it out, and if it is the work of an incendiary, the villain should be brought to justice and made to sutler the extremo penalty of the law. The Importance ot Sanitary Regulations. Mr. Editor : Your editorial on the public health touches a chord of sympathy and of thanks. You urge the "necessity of more rigid sanitary precautions as a means of preserving and improving the health of the pace, and say that it is a matter of su.cn general importance that it cannot be too often brought before our people." As one of the citizens, identi? fied for weal or woe with its welfare, I am glad you have called attention to it. Health is the first consideration, for health is life. And we know that "prevention is better than cure." Do not wait there? fore until some pestilence scourges us, and takes ofi our precious sons and daughters, but organize and act. A growing city demands growing attention to this subject. Because the health of An? derson is so good, (and no one can bear more willing testimony than I,) shall we not retain and improve it? Anderson is like a young man of fine health, who pre? sumes on it, and disdains precaution's. Because she has excellent natural drain? age and does not absolutely need artificial drainage as cities which are flat, we leave all to nature. Suppose that this was a garrison of United States soldiers, and that for one month there were as many soldiers quartered here as there are citi? zens of Anderson. Any one who served in the late war, or who has visited such a garrison will realize what a change thore would bo- A detail of fifty or one hun dren men at least would be made daily for policing the streets and quarters. Bo sides tho surgeon of the post, there would be health inspectors, officers detailed to look after such matters. Have wo such inspectors or such a detail of men ? In looking over the year book of the city of Charleston, I. observed their health de? partment. It consists of a Board of Health and Sanitary Inspectors for the several districts. Tho Board of Health, out of 11 members has four Physicians, the rest being citizens of other callings. The time of Physicians is too valuable to carry into execution the sanitary measures they in thoir experience might propose. Ought not wolls on the public square to be cleaned out oftener than private wells ? I havo hoard of persons who rofrain from drinking water except at th6ir owu homes. My deep interest in the subject must be my apology for intruding on 3Tour space. You have a Teachers' Column, into which you welcoui? suggestions on the important subject of education. So you can put this in your Health column. T. F. G. A Card. Mn. Editor: I desire to express my thanks to the Fire Department and tho citizens generally for thoir timely and efliciontaid in saving my dwelling from the fire on Saturday'morning. And es? pecially to some who at personal peril exposed themselves to keop off the do vouring element front the buildiug. JosiiPii N. Brown. 200 pound sacks coarse Livorpool Salt? a car just received by.HUl, Adums & Co. Pendleton Stock Show. The annual exhibition of the Pondleton Farmers' Society was held on last Thurs? day, the 21st inst., on the field familiarly known as the ??Tournament Ground," ?which is admirably adapted to the purpo? ses of the exhibition. The ground is situated about one mile from the square, and had been well arranged for the needs of the exhibit, showing an appreciation of the needs for a first-class exhibit. At an early hour the crowd began gathering, and by eleven o'clock the largest crowd that we have ever seen in Pendleton had assembled, many of the spectators being from neighboring Counties. The animals exhibited were haltered in the shade, where there was an excellent opportuniy afford? ed to examine them carefully, and we have no hesitation in expressing tbe opin? ion that this was one of the finest exhibits of cattle ever made in this State, embrac? ing Jerseys, Holstiens, Ayreshires, and Grades in numbers and 'of the finest strains. The exhibit of blooded colts was the largest, and embraced the finest ani? mals, that we have ever known in the State, and we do not believe that it can be equalled this side of Kentucky. Our State Fairs do not approximate it. The chief feature of this exhibit was the show of Hainbletonian colts, though the Nor mau-Percheions were also admired great? ly. We should like very much to give a detailed account of the exhibits made by the famous farms around Pendleton,- but space would fail us to do so. Tbe chief farms which exhibited were "Ashtabula," owned by Mr. F. J. Pelzer, of Charleston, where there is one of the choicest and most beautiful herds of Jerseys in the State. This farm also showed some fine colts and sheep. The "Rivola" Stock Farm, owned by Messrs. O. A. Bowen & Son, made the most varied exhibit at the Show, embracing some magnificent thor? oughbred horses and colts, headed by the splendid horse, "Lee," the only Holstien cattle exhibit at the Show, some fine Jerseys and grades. These gentlemen, by the splenid stock exhibited by them, contributed greatly to the success of the Show. The exhibit made by the "Wood burn" Stock Farm, owned by Hon. Augustine T. Smythe of Charleston, was a most excellent display, embracing mag? nificent Percheron horses and colts, and Sromising Hambletonians, with beautiful erseys of tbe most excellent strains. These were the largest exhibitors, but there , were very many individual exhibi? tors who showed very fine cattle and horses, by which they greatly contributed to the interest and character of the exhi? bition. The stock and cattle were led into the ring during the morning, and the following premiums were awarded: CATTLE DEPARTMENT. Jerseys?B. F. Craylon, Judge. ' Best herd?1 bull, 3 cows, 2 calves?

Lewis deserves more credit than any other exhibitor, for to his efforts in this direction the interest in raising colts throughout this soction is mainly due. The Pendleton Driving Association held its first meeting iu the afternoon in connection with the Stock Show. Unfor? tunately, thore had been no rain since the track was completed, consequently it was very dusty and heavy, and many seconds slow, which will account for the time made. First race, J mile dash. Mr. J. E. Lew? is enterod brown filly; Mr. C. llanckel entered bay lilly. They got off well to? gether, but before tho first quarter was run, tho bay filly bolted the track and threw her rider. Tho Lewis filley won in 1.06. Trotting raco, mile heatn, best 2 in 3? Mr. O. A. Bowen, Jr., entered black mare; Mr. Stribling, of Walhalla, black horse; Mr. Brazealo, bay horse. Tbe black maro won in straight heats in 3.50?3.52. Mr. Morrick, the noted roinsrnan from Walhalla, then drove Mr. Bowen's bay stallion, Leo, a mile in 3.4J. This horse is a eonvertod pacer aud has had but little training. Mi. Merrick, also drove bis well-known stallion, "Bibi," an exhibition race, with runt ling main. "Bibi" is certainly the fastest, as well as tho most stylish horso in this soction. Much oxcilenient and amusement was furnished by a scrub-raco, two entries, which was very close, and well run. The day passed off most pleasantly and was the greatest success throughout. The exhibitors of this Society are improv? ing greatly from year to year, and give promise of the finest results both to this section of the country and to the exhibi? tors. The citizens generally appear to ap? preciate this fact, for the crowd this year far excelled any gathering of the kind which they have ever hadT The people were scattered over a large field ana in an adjacent grove, so that it was hard to esti ' mate them, persons differing as to the size of the crowd in attendance, and placing it from 3,000 to 5,000 people. The com? mittee charged with the immediate man? agement of the exhibition?Messrs. O. A. Bowen, jr., Henry Trescot and Julius Newton?are to be congratulated upon the judgment and skill with which they dis? charged their various duties, and the sat? isfactory manner in which everything passed off. The Society is doing a great work towards improving the stock of the up-country, and we hope their annual exhibitions and their semi-annual meet? ings, also, may prove the success which they deserve to be on account both of the interest they manifest in them and of the good results which they are working out lor the country. Holland's Store Items. The colored people of this community had a Sunday School celebration at a va? cated gin-house on last Saturday. They had previously issued invitations to both white and colored to attend, which request was granted to a considerable extent. The exercises consisted of reading Scripture and poetry, marching, music by two brass bands, base ball, trafficing in confections, cakes, chickens, <ftc. Splendid order pre? vailed throughout. Every one seemed to be feeling their best. I don't think if any of them succeeds in reaching the better land, they will be much happier. If some of our unhappy Northern friends, who seem to be so muoh exercised over the welfare of the poor negro, would attend one of these gatherings thsy would go home and keep their mouths shut the balance of their days. Our vicinity occasionally has a jostle. We had the soverest shock on Friday last, about 3 p. m., we have had since the 31st of August, also one Saturday night, the 16th. Cotton is being rapidly gathered, and if the beautiful weather continues a few weeks, it will all be out and ginned: It is being principally ginned by portable gins, who board themselves and gin for the twenty-fifth dollar. Among the fore? most of these are the McCown Bros., who dispatch business in a way that is truly commendable. They gin from 8 to 12 bales a day,and a clever er,straigh t forward and gentlemanly crowd never run a gin. Mr. A. M. Holland is getting a liberal share of the patronage which ho so well deserves. The way he fixes up a man's cotton never fails to give perfect satisfac? tion. His bales can be spotted on a plat? form of a thousand, by the neat way in which they are put up. The Savannah River is extremely low. It can be waded at several points. The citizens around Cross Roads Church are making an effort to have a side-track constructed at that point for the conven? ience of the neighborhood. It is prob? able they will succceed. Plies are growing perceptibly weaker as the fall advances, and I hope before I write you again, they will be numbered with the dead. Burke. Resolutions of Respect.
