These rates are given for the benefit of those who may desire to attend the Constitutional Centennial in Philadel? phia. We received a pressing invitation to at? tend a Lawn Party given by the yonng people at Honea Path on Tuesday night, and regret that our business engagements were each as to prevent us from being present. We know we would have had a most pleasant evening, for Honea Path is ; a delightful place to visit. ^ I: The dwelling house of Mr. M. A. Snipes, about four, miles south of the city,. was destroyed by fire last' Thursday morning/ Only one or two. articles of furniture were saved; The fire occurred just before day? light, and it is not known how it origi? nated. The loss falls quite heavy on Mr. Snipes, as he bad no insurance. ; ; We are under many obligations to, our young- iriend, Mackey fCing, of .TJeifon Township, for a bucket of large,.delicious scuppernong grapes. Such treats are al? ways acceptable -and highly appreciated. The vine frdm which the grapes were gathered is about forty years old, and hardly ever fails to bear a good crop. The Pickens Senlinel, of last week, says: "Rev, A. 'P. Nicholson and family, of Central, move , to Anderson this week. We know that Central regrets to lose them. We congratulate Anderson on the valuable acquisition. Mr. Nicholson will still have pastoral charge of the same Churches." We extend Mr. Nicholson a cordial welcome to our County, ' The daily freight train has again been put on the B. R. R. R., running through from Columbia, and a considerable change has been made in the schedule. -The up train passes here at 3.10 a, m., and the down-train at 11.15 a. m. Last winter the . freight train was a convenience to people living along the Road, but the present schedule does not suit them at all. Attention is directed to the advertise? ment of KeBett & VanWyck, who have formed a copartnership, and opened up a j stock of furniture and coffins in the store? room next door to Brownlee & Brown's. ! Their goods have been brought direct j from the manufacturer, and they guaran? tee satisfaction both: in prices and quality. We bespeak for them a liberal share of the public patronage. Bleckley, Brown & Fretwell's new ad? vertisement hi this issue deserves a care? ful perusal by every one of our readers, as it contains information that will interest the public . This firm has bought an im? mense stock of fall and winter goods, and they are going to sell them, too. They keep almost anything you may need to wear or eat. Their advertisement also contains a few words of timely warning to those who are indebted to them. Our townsman, Mr. W. C. Andrew, re? ceived a telegram last Saturday morning conveying the sad news of the death of his father, Capt. W. T. Andrew, which occurred at his home in Elbert County, i Ga., on Friday evening. Mr. Andrew left ' immediately to attend the funeral, which occurred Sunday morning. Capt. An? drew died suddenly of apoplexy. He was one of Elbert County's most estimable citizens, and his death is a great loss to that County. Bead the new advertisement of the Sul? livan Hardware Company. This Compa? ny is composed of three brothers, who are full of energy, enterprlze and zeal. , Their store now rankB among the leading hardware establishments of the State, and they arejlaily extending their business territory. Recently they sold a large en? gine in middle Georgia and a cotton gin in North Carolina; This season they have sold a dozen or more cotton gins and about twenty cane mills. They take ?great pleasure In showing their goods and quoting prices. The schedule of the morning passenger train on the Blue Ridge division of the C. <fc G. Railroad, has been changed so as to leave Anderson at 9.52 a. m., instead of 10.40 as heretofore. This change does not affect the schedule on the main line from Greenville to Columbia, and hence the passengers have to lay over at Belton. There is no good reason why this change should be made. It connects from Wal? halla with the Air Line, running to At? lanta, but this does not accommodate more than one or two passengers a week, while the change incommodes perhaps one or two hundred a week at Belton. It is annoying without cause. Nearly every farmer we meet is a little blue about the cotton crop. Some say their crop will not be as good as it was last year, while there are a few who think that an average crop will be made in the County. The weed, in some sections, is large, but it is not fruited as it should be. The crop now depends a good deal on the fall season. An early fall wonld les? sen the yield of cotton at least twenty five per cent, in most sections. We wore ten or twelve miles east of the city a few days ago, and the crops in that section look very well. A good portion oftbat section, however, did not suffer by the drouth, and the cotton did not "shed off" .as it did in other sections. If the crop does prove short, the County will be in a much better condition thun it wns last your, as tbo corn crop will turn out well ?nd everybody has lived more economi? cally than for years past. ! Our people woro very much interested in a report which reached Andorson last week, that an eng^T;. corps was sur? veying the line of W old Blue Ridge Railroad from Clayton to Walhalla, and on Saturday last Mr. E. B. Murray visi? ted Walhalla in response to a telegram inviting him to meet the Chief Engineer. On Tuesday Maj. Case, the Chief Engin? eer of the Cumberland Valley & Unaca Railroad Company, visited Anderson, and met a large number of our prominent business men, and was assured of the interest they take in the completion of tbo road across the mountains. Maj. Case represents capitalists who wish to build across the mountains from Nashville via Rabun Gap to Charleston, and of course this takes Anderson in the picture. It is a well considered, advantageously loca? ted, and thoroughly practicable scheme, and impresses us as giving more promise than any movement in connection with trans-mountain railroad construction than any movement in this direction since the war. Maj. Case met Represen? tatives Brown and Daniels, who with Senator Murray assured him of the inter? est felt by this County, and their willing? ness to help secure such legislation as may be practicable to secure the road. It is probable that an effort will be made by the new company to buy the old Blue Ridge road, and failing in that, they will probably build an independent line. The building of this road would add greatly to the prosperity of the whole State. Fork Items. A new saw mill has recently been put in operation near Townville by Messrs. Preston Grant, C. D. Giles and others.' Rev. B. M. Pack, assisted by Rev. Jameson, of Westminster, has just closed a protracted meeting at Double Springs. The condition of crops does not improve. The glittering prospects vanished with the disastrous floods; and now it is ascertain? ed that in addition to the deficit that will occur in-the cotton crop and the greater deficit that is in the corn crop, there will be a remarkable scarcity of forage. Serial meetings at the different Churches in this community have been in progress almost continually for the last several weeks, yet it does not appear that they have been attended by any special out? pouring of divine grace; nor does it seem that oven the ordinary' interest has been manifested in them. Is it possible that there are off years in religion as well as in politics? During the past week the County Com? missioners visited this section and award? ed contracts for rebuilding the public bridges that had been displaced by the re? cent freshets. They also gave the public highways a personal inspection, equaliz? ing hands on different sections, and giving oral instructions to the overseers to the effect that the Road Law must be carried out to the strictest letter. It may be said to the credit of the Commissioners that they confined themselves strictly to busi? ness while here, and evinced much inter? est in the public affairs of the County. They succeeded in contracting for the re? building of public bridges at probably less thau the actual cost of building them. Mr. John Milford died at his home in this Township on the 1st inst, after a lin? gering illness of several weeks of typhoid fever. He was in his Slst year of age, and leaves a young wife and three small children to mourn his decease. Mr. Mil ford was a plain, honest, industrious far? mer, quiet and unassuming, yet withal possessing those noble traits that consti? tute the upright man and adorn the Chris? tian character; aud in his death his fam? ily is bereft of a kind and affectionate hus? band and father;. the Church deprived of a consistent and useful member; and the community at largo made sad in the knowledge that a good man hath fallen. He was a member of Cedar Grove (Meth? odist) Church, and on the day following his death his remains, with appropriate funeral services by Rev. Dr. Barnes, and with solemn Masonic rites by Townville lodge, were consigned to the cemetery at that place to wait the resurrection morn, Reunion at Cross Roads. Mr. Editor : In response to the call of Capt. C. S. Beaty for a reunion of the survivors of company "F," 24th Regi? ment. S. C. V., on 3rd inst., fjurteen of the old veterans availed themselves of the pleasure of meeting together and spend? ing a few hours in handshaking and re? counting to each other many of the thrill? ing incidents of the late war. Owing to the short notice given quite a number of the surviving members who live at a dis? tance were not present. No arrangements having been made to procure speakers for the occasion, a portion of the forenoon was spent in pleasant and agreeable con? versation among the survivors and their friends. A'seriea of religious meetings being in progress at this place, and it being the desire of the survivors to.attend, at the beginning of services they repaired to the Church in a body and listened to an in? structive and entertaining sermon by the pastor. After services the survivors and their friends spread a bountiful repast in the grove near by, and it can be truthfully said that o very one present seemed to en? joy and relish the same. After eating un? til all were filled and again engaging in the rehearsal of many war reminiscences, the remnant of the old company present were formed in line and marched to the school house where a formal meeting was held. Capt. C. S. Beaty was called to the chair, and J. B. Leverett was request? ed to act as secretary. Capt. Beaty ex? plained the object of the meeting by stating that it was the desire of the ser vivors to form a more permanent organi? zation and to formulate a plan for holding our annual reunions in future. On mo? tion it was unanimously agreed to hold our next annual reunion at this place on Wednesday before the 4th Sunday in? jury, 1888. On motion the following executive committee was appointed viz: C. S. Beaty, R. P. Clinkscales, James A. Gray, J. B. Leverett, T. D. Stevenson and J. N. Sherard. The executive com? mittee was authorized to communicate .with members living at a distance and inform them of the time and place of our next reunion, and to make all the neces? sary arrangements for the pleasure and comfort of the surviyprs of the company and their friends at our next annual re? union. On motion the executive com? mittee were authorized to invite all the surviving regimental officers to attend our next reunion. On motion the secre? tary was authorized to purchase a blank book in which he is requested to keep a complete roll of the surviving members of the company, and a correct record of the minutes of our annual meetings. On motion, the secretary was requested to furnish copies of the proceedings of this meeting to the Anderson Intelligencer and the Anderson Journal with the request that they be published. C. S. Beaty, Chairman. J. B. Leverett, Secretary. A Card of Thanks. Mr. Editor : I desire, through the col? umns ol your excellent paper, to return my thanks and express my gratitude to my friends and neighbors for their many acts of kindness and attention during the recent affliction that I have undergone. Words :.ie inadequate to express my ap? preciation of their kindness. Respectfully, E. H. Poore. Toney Creek, Sept. 5,1887. Briton Items. - Mrs. W, H. Tudd and Mrs. B. A.
