Wilhite, of this city, was called to Leesburg, Fla., to attend his father, Dr. F. A. Wilhite, who was quite sick.

Admission, 50 cents; reserved seats with? out extra charge. Tickets for sale at Hill Bros. Mr. John W. Shields, one of the Intel uoenceb's typos, organized a Union Sunday School in Varennes Township, about four miles south of the city, several months ago, and since then, it has met regularly every Sunday afternoon. The School is in a most flourishing condition, and is doing a good work. Mr. Shields is the Superintendent, and last Sunday after ? noon, as an appreciation of his services, the School presented bim with a beautiful water-set. Some boys shooting at pigeons with a sling-shot, in the rear of the Auditor's office, a few days ago, missed their mark and sent a rock crashing through one of the windows, which scattered the frag? ments of gloss over the floor and the Au? ditor himself. There is a city ordinance against using sling-shots on the streets, and it will doubtless be enforced if the boys do not leave their sling-shots at home or keep them in their pockets when they are on the streets. McCormick Advance: "It is rumored that Mr. Roual's interest in the Savannah Valley Railroad will give him control of the Road, and should such be the case, it will certainly be a boom for McCormick. 'Just think of it! such a man as Mr. Roual at the head of the Savannah Val? ley?speaks volumes! and in all proba? bility, in a few years, our pet Road would extend from the mountains to the sea? board. While we have all good will and feelings for Mr. Alexander, and believe bim to be an excellent Railroad man, yet we might expect a great deal at the hands of Mr. Roual if he is to control the Savan? nah Valley Railroad." Tho citizens of Anderson who attended the lecture by Gen. Del Kemper in the basement of the Presbyterian Church on last Monday evening were greatly pleased with the concise, scholarly and erudite manner in which the speaker handled the subject of earthquakes, giving the salient points in the history of the more noted shakes of the world, and the theory of the causes which produce them. Gen. Kemper is a clear and vigorous writer, and shows the scholar as well as the thoughtful, discriminating student in his address. We trust that the General will favor the public with other lectures, as \they will undoubtedly prove both inter? esting and instructive. Of all the magazines with which we are acquainted, there are none more interest? ing and instructive than the Century. A volume of over 150 pages per month, it is filled with the most choice and varied reading. Its continued history of Abra? ham Lincoln is continued from month to month, and the February number has also a history of invasion of Pennsyl? vania, and an account of the bailing of Jefferson Davis. In addition to this there is a timely article on the relative strength of nations, and several continued stories, these, with articles on Astronomy, mid? winter resort, poetry, biography, and nu? merous handsome engravings, make a volume of rare interest. Those of our readers who are unacquainted witb-r^ie excellence of the Century are deprived a real literary pleasure, Cf-rpets 1 Carpets! At Cost 1 Fini t quality of ingrain Carpets at only Gt .

Governor Richardson advertises that hi accordance with the provisions of an Act entitled "An Act to establish the South Carolina farms and stations," one in the Piedmont region of the State and one in the lower tier .of Counties, the Board of Agriculture gives notice that it will receive during the next sixty days from counties, communities or persons bids or proposals to donato lands and buildings or money for the purpose of establishing said experimental farms and stations. All bids to receive consideration must be sent to L. A. Ransom, Secretary Board of Agriculture, Columbia, S. C, on or be? fore the 11th day of April next. We would like to see this station lo? cated in Anderson County, and would, therefore, suggest that our Farmers' Con? vention take action to ascertain what bids can bo made from Anderson County. The time in which to act is short, and if we wish to succeed there must be no delay in arranging to mako the offer. We will be glad for our friends who may feel an in? terest in the subject to discuss the matter and use oui columns in any way calcu? lated to further th* object desired. Last week was a gala week in the Mayor's Court in Andcson. Warrants were taken out by the Chief of Police against Messrs. F. M. Butler and Ernest Fant; John O'Donnell, James O'Donnell and Reuben Young; W. Ira Brennan and Harry Mc Grath, and Dennis O'Donnell, for retailing spirituous liquors without a license. The trials began on last Wednesday morn? ing, the case of the City Council vs. F. M. Butler and Ernest Fant being the first case heard. Messrs. E. B. Murray and H. G. Scudday appeared for the prosecution, and Messrs. Prince & Vandiver and S. M. Pick ens for the defendants. The defendants plead not guilty, and demanded a jury. Mayor Tolly stated that under the Charter he did not think they were entitled to a jury, but that it would be agreeable to him to be relieved of passing upon the facts, and as the defendants wanted a jury he would grant it to them. The following jury was empanelled to try the case, with Mr. J. J. Baker as foreman, and Messrs. A. P. Hubbard, Q. N. Broyles, James Sad I ler, W. B. Beacham and J. Boyce Bnrriss as the other members of the jury. A large number of witnesses were sworn, and who testified to getting spirituous liquors from Butler or his clerk, but the majority of thorn either testified that they were given to them, or that they had simply taken them, without knowing whether they were charged or not. One witness testified to paying money, and another to leaving money on the table. The prosecution also showed that Mr. Butler had partitioned off his room so that nothing could be seen from the street, and that within this parti? tion was a closet in which he kept liquors, and in which the drinking was generally done. The defense offered no testimony, and after argument and a clear charge from bis Honor the'Mayor, the jury promptly rendered a verdict of guilty. A motion for new trial and in arrest of judgment was argued before the Mayor and over? ruled, after which Mr. Butler and Mr. Fant were each sentenced to pay a fine of one hundred dollars, or be imprisoned for thirty days. They have appealed to the full Council, and the case set for a hearing on next Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock. The case against Mtssrs. John O'Don? nell, James O'Donnel amd Beuben Young, and the case agaiinst Mr. Dennis O'Donnell were tried, but no evidence of any sale of spirituous liquorsi was made, and the pros? ecution consented to a verdict of not guilty without arguing the cases. The cases agtiinst Messrs. Drennan and McQrath were continued until Friday of this week. There is a determination on the part of the citizens of Anderson to enforce the prohibition law, and it will be found dan? gerous and expensive to the violators of the law. The prohibitionists do not desire to injure any individual, but they intend to enforce the law, and if prosecutions in the City Court do not prove efficient, they will carry them to the Circuit Court where more exemplary penalties can and will be inflicted. The Quarterly Meeting at Shiloh on last Saturday and Sunday was a very in? teresting occasion. Saturday being an inclement day, there was a small turn? out, though Mr. Dickson, the Presiding Elder, preached as if tho house was full. Sunday, however, was a beautiful day, and the house was -crowded, and Mr. Dickson preached a most excellent ser? mon, making a deep impression npon all his hearers. With the exception of a few babies and a few ill-mannered wasps, there was little confusion. Mr. Dickson met many old friends, and made many new ones. Mr. Ligon, the paster of the Piedmont Circuit, was also in his place. He seems to be well pleased with his new field of labor, and the people like him very much. ? The farmers have done but little farm work yet, but they are getting things ready for ploughing, and some few have begun. "Hard times" is the cry on every hand, but notwithstanding this, several new ?buildings are going up. Mr. John Ricks has moved into his new house, and is comfortably fixed. Mr. William Huff is building a good, large house, which will improve his place very much. Mr. Henry Cely, who went to /Texas last Fall, is not satisfied with that coun? try. Mr. Miles Hogan has put up a corn mill near Piedmont. .We are told that he has Leen a successful glnner, and we ex? pect he will make good meal for those who patronize him. We think it woc.ld be a good plan for the County Commissioners to put the peo? ple to work on the roads, and let them work off the wire edge that the new road law has put on them. Our schools are on a boom now. We have some very good teachers in our Township at present. We have but two trustees, but our Commissioner will no doubt see after that in due time. E. Much of the gloom and despondency which hast prevailed throughout our en? tire country for the last few months, caused by the shortness of last year's crop and the general "hard times" has passed away. The cold, bleaky snow clouds, which have been stretched, like a great huge blanket, over our country so long, have been drawn aside, and the beautiful golden rays of the sun have been permit? ted to fall once more upon our earth. We have had a few fine days of Spring? like weather, which seems to have warm? ed up tho whole earth and revived the whole animal creation to life and activity again. The farmers of this section; inspired j with new hopes, have gone to work with renewed energy. They etir early and late. The plows have all been started. Breaking stubble land and sowing Spring oats is the general order of the day, while a few of the more thoughtful farmers are preparing large quantities of compost to take the place of eo much commercial fertilizers. If every farmer in this country would make their own fertilizers* and then raise their own supplies, it would not be long till the cry of "hard times" would cease to be heard, Married, on December 29th, by Mr. John Harper, Notary Public, at bis resi? dence, Mr. Andrew Burgess and Miss Lizzie Bratcher, all of Anderson County. The groom is sixteen years old and the ^e only twelve. Such premature mar-1 The Whiskey Trials. Brushy Creek Items. Fiercetown Items. rioges are not very likely to turn out well. . Wo think some stops should be taken to prevent such children from marrying. In tho first place parents are to blame for allowing their children to get grown too soon, and then a minister or an officer who would marry mere children should receive a full share of public ceusure. Mr. Joptha Watkins walked out into his front piazza the other night, and, the night being very dark, accidentally stepp? ed off of the edge of the floor, and fell to the ground, a distance of four feetl, sus? taining very painful injuries. His family, hearing him fall, immediately ran to his assistance. He was taken into the house insensible of everything that was going on, and remained so for some time; but I he has now sufficiently recovered to be up and out again, though he still carries his arm in a swing. Pierce. Cross Roads Items. Mr. A. J. McKee, a highly respected citizen of the upper portion of Abbeville County, died recently at his home, after a long and painful illness. Mr. Ab. J. Hall, has been, and is still t very ill with pneumonia. His many friends wish him a speedy recovery. Measles are Htill spreading in the lower portion of our County. No deaths have resulted from them so far as our knowl? edge extends, although whole families have been prostrated with them in some instances. Work on the side track and depot at this place has commenced, and will be rapidly pushed to completion. Lots have been laid off with broad streets intervening in regular village style. Plats of tbe same will soon be on exhibition, and all per? sons desiring to purchase a lot for store? room or residence in a healthy, prosper? ous section of our County, would do well to examine the same and the advantages offered by our section as a place of trade. This place is centrally located on a high and gently undulating plain, suited to the growth of all crops, especially cotton, of which large areas are planted by some of our farmers. Messrs. Jones and Allen are large plan? ters, and by industry and good manage? ment have been quite successful in their line. They keep a complete record of their operations during the year, and are thereby enabled to tell the exact amount of crops produced by every cropper in their employ. They worked last year nine mules and made 113 bales of cotton, averaging over 500 lbs to the bale. In addition to this, they made 21 bales of toll cotton by their gin, making 134 bales in the aggregate, for which they received $5,809.88. These gentlemen have 300 acres under cultivation, and also run a gin, thresher and saw mill. Mr. Allen gives his whole attention to the farm> superintending the planting, cultivation and harvesting the crops, and Mr. Jones has charge of all the machinery, and is one of the men who can make it pay. Several other gentlemen in this section havo been fully as successful as Messrs. Jones and Allen, though not farming on so large a scale. Among them my be mentioned : Messrs. B. F. and Drayton Gentiy, who commenced farming after the war as renters, and now they own a splendid farm and have it well stocked, and are out of debt. Messrs. J. L. Her? ron and D. G. Rampy, also own model farms. Andrew Robinson, col., who lives on rented land and runs a one horse farm, paid 1,000 pounds as rent last-year, and has three bales unsold. He says he has money on hand and supplies for a year, and has no need to sell his cotton. Andy sticks to his work soon and late, and is seldom seen at public gatherings. He sets a good example for tho balance of his race, which they would do well to follow. The early gardeners.in this section have commenced preparing the ground and sowing their seed. Every farmer should sow and plant largely of all kinds of vegetables, and make half the support for himself and family, during the sum? mer months, in the garden. Omega. Eureka items. Whore is Eureka? It is situated in Broadway Township at Geer's Shops. What is Eureka ? It is, in familiar lan? guage, the name of a school house. It is now about one year old. Lost year there was a fine school there under the efficient management of C. H. Gassaway, who endeared himself alike both to patrons and pupiis. The school this year is under the management of Miss Zella Campbell, who is proving herself a faith? ful and competent teacher. The people, the good people, of Eureka community were not satisfied with the mere literary training of their young peo? ple, and they, therefore, have a large and interesting Sunday-School that meets every Sunday afternoon. This is the largest Sunday School in the Township. The whole community is interested in it, and contributes its presence, influence and money for the prosperity of this school. It is pleasantly and efficiently superintended by Col. L. E. Campbell. The second Sunday in Feb. is the an? niversary day of the school. Col. John G. Clinkscales has been invited to ad? dress the school on that day at 3.30. The Col. has the promise of a large and an at? tentive audience. The young men of the immediate com? munity are high-toned and gentlemanly in bearing. Two very suspicious characters passed through this community a few days ago on their way from tbe City of Anderson. The question was, where did they get their liquor? * Testimonial to the Memory of tlie lato Wm. S. l>lgon. At a meeting of the Board of Elders and Deacons of the Presbyterian Church in An? derson, held January 18,1887, the follow? ing resolutions in testimony of the worth of the late Wm. S. Ligon were unanimous? ly adopted: 1st. Resolved, The death of W. S. Ligon, in the very prime of his manhood and use? fulness, has thrown an unusual gloom over the whole community of Anderson, wheth? er as an active and public-spirited citizen, or as the bouarable business man, or as the agreeable and popular gentleman, or as the true and tried friend, or as husband, broth? er or son, we hereby attest our sorrow that he has gone from us. 2nd. The Presbyterian Church has sus? tained a seemingly irreparable loss in the death of a brother, a fellow-member and a Deacon, who was felt to be a strong, con? sistent and devoted man, a tower of strength in the congregation, one in whom all trust? ed, and on whom, as he grew stronger and stronger, we all began to lean. 3rd. Tue Board of Deacons feel no less sorely afflicted by the departure of a fellow officer of great efficiency, of judicious counsel, of administrative ability, exact? ness, promptitude and fidelity as a Treasu? rer, and of kind and fraternal intercourse with us as a colleague in office. 4th. The Ruling Elders, some of them growing hoary with age, deeply deplore the loss of a young man who promised to be a pillar in the Church of the Lord when the time should come that they should throw their official mantle upon more active men. 5th. The Sunday School mourns the loss of an active worker, a punctual and faith? ful teacher, a ready counsellor, a genial, cheerful and winnine man, ana one who had received the confidence and love of his class. 6th. In devout submission to Almighty God, we sorrowfully surrender our friend and brother to Him who gave him to us, and who has, in His inscrutable wisdom, taken him away. 7th.

The Seed when crushed is in excellent condi? tion for use as a Fertilizer, and I am satisfied that farmers all over the South should use them as a matter of economy in the use of Cotton Seed as a Fertilizer. All my customers are pleased with the Machine, and I am having considerable addi? tional demands to gin cottou from parties who desire their seed crushed. Yours truly, G. S. WILLIFORD.
