Hart well Sun: -'Brown's Ferry some eighty or ninety years ago was known as Shockley's Ferry, and it was here the name of the celebrated 'Sbockley apple' is supposed to have bad its origin, which was from a seedling that grew near the ferry. The 'Shoekley' is now a standard apple, and is grown throughout the coun? try in nearly all first class nurseries." Capfc. . Wren, who is temporarily in charge of Maxwell's Photograph Gallery, is kept quite busy, and is turning out some fine work. - He has taken some fine views of the residences of several of our citizens, and is making a specialty of that work.

Mrs. Cobb was about 30 years of age. A new schednle went into effect on the Savannah Valley. Railroad last Sunday. The train lies over at night at McCormick, and arrives at Anderson at 2.15 p. m. and leaves at 3.15 p. m., staying here only one hour. On Sundays the train arrives at 1.40 p. m. and leaves at 4 p. m. Tbe trains are now run by R. & D. time. Tbe week day schedule would suit Anderson very well, provided there was more time be? tween the arrival and departure of the train. John E. Peoples appears before onr readers this week in an attractive adver? tisement, in which he calls attention to the celebrated Van Winkle cotton gin, feeder and condenser, and tbe King and Star cotton presses. A number of our readers will doubtless need a gin or preis this fall, and we advise tbem to consult Mr. Peoples before purchasing. Mr. Peo? ples has sold the above named gin and presses in Anderson for years, and he guarantees tbem to give satisfaction. Read his advertisement. What has become of our Board of Health ? There are somo sections of the city that should be looked after by them. A report has gone abroad that malaria exists in Anderson. There are a number of mild cases of fever in onr midst, and if they are caused from malaria, there must be some local cause for it. It is the duty of the Board of Health to investigate the matter, and let our people know if ma? laria exists here. If there is any malaria in Anderson, steps should be taken at once to eradicate it.

The Rough and Ready Firemen attend? ed the Tournament of the colored firemen in Greenville last Thursday, but they did not participate in tbe races. The parade, which took place in the morning, was participated in by all the members of the Rough and Ready Company, and it was along, bot parade. Tbe Greenville fire? men, however, kept their runners out of tbe parade, and when tbe races were an? nounced they appeared on the ground fresh and active. As soon as our firemen discovered this trick, they declined to enter the races, as their runners were tired and worn out from having participated in the parade. Tbe firemen returned home on Friday, having had a pleasant trip, but they didn't like this bit of sharp practice on the part of their brother firemen of Greenville. The Southern Cultivator for July says: From B. F. Cray ton & Sons, who have a fine stock farm at Anderson, S. C, comes this very hopeful experience: In the May issue of the Cultivator (on page 213) you ask if any one has found a plan to eradi? cate nut grass. We have an old garden spot tbat became infested with nut grass to such an extent tbat we thought we would have to abandon it, as nothing would eat tbe stuff. But concluding to try something better, we plowed it up and planted 'it in Bermuda grass, dropping a good-sized bunch of the Bermuda grass after the plow in every furrow, about ten to twelve in a foot. The grass sprang up and soon covered'the ground. That was three years since, and now you cannot find a sprig of nut grass excopt on the edges of the plat where we did not get a stand of the Bermuda. At the annual meeting of the stock? holders of the Anderson Educational As? sociation, held in the Court House, on Tuesday, last, the following officers were elected: President, W. W. Humphreys; Secretary and Treasurer, J J. Baker; Di? rectors, D. 8. Maxwell, J. E. Breazeale, S. Bleckley, J. B. Watson, J. B. Lewis, W. G. Watson, W. F. Barr. G. W. Fant, J. W. Daniels, R. F. Divver, J. L. Tribble and J. J. Baker. The report of the Secre? tary and Treasurer was read and referred to a committee, who reported that they found the Treasurer's books properly kept and all moneys received by him ac? counted for. The report of thecommittee was adopted. A resolution was adopted authorizing the Board of Directors to rent or lease the University buildings for a number of years, not exceeding five, on such terms and conditions as seemed to them advisable. After the adjournment of the Convention, a meeting of the Board of Directors was held and some important business transacted, the nature of which was not made public. Death of an Excellent Young Man. Death is always sad under any circum? stances, but when it comes into our midst and cuts down a yonng man who is start? ing in life, with the prospect of a bright, happy and prosperous future before him, it is exceedingly sad. Three weeks ago Mr. James A. Sadler was taken sick. His symptoms were not alarming until a few days ago, when his disease became com? plicated. All that could be done by lov? ing hands and skillful physicians to arrest the disease was done, but in vain, and on Tuesday afternoon at half-past 2 o'clock he peacefully passed away. Mr. Sadler was a member of the firm of Hill, Adams & Co., and had been a resi? dent of Anderson for a number of years. He was a young man of noble traits of character and steady habits, for which be was highly esteemed by his acquaintances. Since his youth he bad been a consistent member of the Methodist Chnrcb, and when the summons of dsath came he was ready to meet it. He was conscious up to within a few minutes of his death, and just before he died he called each member of his family to his side, and, kissing them and bidding them good-bye, asked them to meet him in Heaven, after which he passed away as if going to sleep. Just one year ago to the day Mr. Sadler lost a younger brother, and it is a little singular that he should be called away on the first anniversary of that sad occasion. Three months ago he was married to Miss Ottie Latimer, of Lowndesville. Mr. Sadler was about 28 years of age. His young bride, mother, brother and sister have the deepest sympathy of our en tire community in their bereavement. His remains were interred in tho Pres? byterian cemetery on Wednesday morn? ing, Rev. W. S. Wightman conducting the funeral services, in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives. Helton Items. Mrs. MuDaniel, mother of Ex-Governor McDaniel, of Georgia, spent last Saturday in town. Mrs. C J. Lewis, a most estimable lady of Honea Path, is visiting relatives here. Mr. L. A. Brock, of the same town, spent Sunday with us. Gus visits us now more frequently than formerly; however, we shall always give him a hearty wel? come. Miss Lila Kay and Mrs. Erminger, of Birmingham, Ala., arc with Mrs. Hattie Kay, the mother of the former. Mrs. Joel T. Rice left on Monday after? noon for JeterSYille, Va., where she visits her sister, Mrs. Jackson. Mrs. Rice con? templates going to Richmond, and proba? bly other points of interest in the Old Do? minion State, before returning. The last meeting of the Literary Club was held at the residence of Mr. G. W. McGee. on last Friday evening. This meeting was a very interesting one, und is thought, by the members, to have eclipsed any previous meeting. There is no event in town looked forward to with such anxi? ety as the regular meetings of this Club. Mr. G. Ernest McGee returced home from Columbia, 8. C, last Thursday after? noon. He has been attending the South Carolina College for the two years past, and expresses himself as very much pleased with the College. G. Flat Rock Items. The friends of Mrs. Clementine Hall will be sorry to learn that she is sick, and has been for the past week. On last Sunday morning the angel of death visited the family of Mr. Ben. West and carried off one of his little children. Mr. S. A. Whitaker has the finest wa? termelon patch we have seeu. The public schools in this Township will open on Monday, 11th inst. The long and toilsome battle has ended at last The farmer has been faithful and has conquered. Gen. Green has surren? dered, and now the farmers will have a few weeks for recreation. On last Sunday it was our pleasure to be at Cross Roads Church and listen to quite an interesting sermon on Prohibi? tion, preached by Rev. H. M. Allen. We don't think we ever heard a more forcible argument on the subject. He said he was opposed to whiskey license. If whiskey is good for man let us have it free; if not, pull it down and cast it out. He asked the moderate drinker, who claims it is no harm to take a dram, if he could recom? mend it to his son; if he could not then it was wrong to drink it. He said the drink habit has, does and, so long as it continues, will inflict terrible evils on the women and children, and for that reason we should strive to break the chains with which it binds its victims and to stop the forging of new ones. Very few men like intoxicating liquors of any kind at first, and in our day and country the most of those who become its slaves acquire the appetite in the saloon while drinking so? cially what they have no desire foi. There was a large congregation present. At the conclusion of the sermon a vote was taken, and, with three or four excep? tions, all were for Prohibition. Flat. Lebanon Items. The health of this community is very good at present. Crops are in a most excellent condition at present, and the bright prospects of a heavy yield of corn and cotton to com? pensate for their year's labor, are very encouraging to the farmers. Notwith? standing the dryness of the ground, the farmers are pushing ahead their work with zeal and energy. Having laid by most of their corn crops, they are now beginning to lay by their cotton crop. The farmers have had splendid weather in which to harvest their small grain crops, which are now safely housed. Though the yield of the wheat crop is not so large as somo expected, yet it is of ex? cellent quality and produces a fair article of flour. Some of the farmers |jave planted peas on their stubble land, which, in our opin? ion, is decidedly an advantage to it in re? munerating the soil for the crop just har? vested, and also in preparing it for another crop. We had the pleasure recently of sam? pling some honoy of excellent quality raised by Mr. N. T- Smith, and made in the Queen Bee Hive. He took from a single hiye over thirty pounds of nice honey. Why can't every farmer raise honey this way? It doesn't require a great deal of labor and trouble to keep bees, and, if attended to right, the yield will always more than repay for the labor and trouble, besides the enjoyment(?) do rived from hiving and robbing tbem. Mr. W. P. Holland's school, at this place, will close for the summer vacation on Friday, tbe 8th inst., at which time be will give a basket pic nie. Col. J. O, Clinkscales will address the school, after which a few speeches and dialogues will I be given by the pupils. Tbe exercises will be interspersed with music furnished by the school, and conducted by Miss Hattie Quailes, tbe solo singer and pupil of Prof. A. J.Showalter's Normal Singing School of this County. All tbe citizens of the community, and especially the pa? trons of the school, are cordially invited to come, and bring with them well-filled baskets. A pleasant occasion is antici? pated for those present. On Sunday, 3rd inst., Rev. J. S. Murray preached an excellent and a forcible ser? mon from tbe text, "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus."? Phil. 2:5. A large and an appreciative audience listened to tho sermon, which was delivered in a philosophical and com? prehensive manner. Mr. Murray always gives his hearers something to think about and something worth thinking about. In the afternoon he preached to the colored friends at their Church. A large number of both whites and blacks were present. Denos. Craytonvllle Items. An infant son of W. G. Johnson died the 28th ult., after protracted illness. We continue to be blessed with refresh? ing showers, which enliven the farmers and hasten the growing crops on to per? fection. We have not had more favora? ble prospects for fine crops in several years. We think the wind, which blew from tho East for several days during tbe latter part of June, was very Injurious to crops. If there is any reliability in a thermom- j etor, we had some of the hottest weather in June that we ever have in that month; in fact, very rarely in July or August. The present road law of this County is so definite tbat there is but little chance for shirkers to evade road duty. We heard a gentleman Bay that he would be J glad if Abbeville County had such a road law. Thero are some sections in this County which have not been worked this year, and we think that the County Com- j missioners should look after this matter. Those who work their roads want to travel good roads when they get out on j other sections. Prohibition is the topic now, and peo? ple are getting enthusi astic on tbe subject. Some time since one of those prohibi? tion petitions, as they are called, was pre sented to an old geutleman in this town? ship and was asked to sign it, but utterly refused to do so. Some time afterwards the gentleman heard one of our ablest ministers preach on tbe subject of prohi? bition, and before he left tbe Cbnrcb tbe petition was presented to him again, and now his signature appears on one of the petitions. We are prond to see a man, when he is convinced of the ruin caused by tbe use of intoxicating liquors, frank- I ly admit it, and exercise bis influence to put such a substance out of tbe reach of those who cannot resist tbe temptn- I tion caused by its presence. Every per- j son, male and female, should exercise-bis or her greatest influence in favor of pro-I hibition. I , Our noigbbor, W. C. Armstrong, has discovered a plan for cultivating cabbage plants in order to have cabbage late in the fall season. He transplants in tbe spring and then gives them little or no attention nntil August, letting the grass and weeds grow unmolested until August, when ho I works them thoroughly, and as the result has cabbage late in the fall.

Hiott preached an able and eloquent sermon on Temporance or Pro? hibition at this place on tbe 3rd inst. Tbe Church was crowded to its fullest ca? pacity by an audience which highly ap? preciated bis effort on this occasion. After reading Isaiab, 5th chap., 11-24; Habakkuk, 2nd chap., 15; Proverbs, 23rd chap., 29-32 ; he took for his text, Isaiah, 58th chap., 1st verse. At the close of the sermon be requested all of the audience who were in favor of Prohibition or wish? ed the cause success to stand up. At least three-fourths of those present rose to their feet, which clearly proves that Prohibi? tion has a warm place in tbe hearts of the people of this community, X. Notice of Meeting.

The Commissioners further notify those Overseers who have not done the first four days work already, that they must do this by the first of September, and the other four days by the first day of October. The Overseers must also make their re? turns promptly to the Commissioners un? der oath as required by law. The Commis? sioners will not now prosecute Overseers who have failed to comply with the law, because it wa? published late, and there has been an unusual amount of sickness in the Spring. They do not desire to prose? cute any one, but they now give full and fair notice that the law must be complied with, and they will prosecute every Over? seer who does not obey the directions herein given. All must obey the law, to make it bear equally on all. In order that there be no misunderstanding we repeat the directions: Those Overseers who have already work? ed four days are required to put four more days upon their roads before the first of October, and make tbeir return at the close of the last working; those who have not already done four days work, as ordered, must finish four or more days work by the first of September, and make their report at that time, and also do the balance of eight days work on their roads by the first of October, and make their second report. If any Overseer fails to comply with these ins!ructions be will certainly be prosecut? ed ; therefore the Commissioners, having thus given every indulgence possible, and full and fair notice, hope there will be no dereliction on the part of any Overseer.
