thoroughbred Hamiltonian horse, sired

dam; He is a dark red sorrel three years
old, and weighs 1200 pounds. If "Dia?
mond" does not take the premium, he
will, at least, be sure to attract attention
as an unusually fine horse.
Mr. and Mrs. Mathias Richardson have
the sympathy of their many friends and
neighbors, in the death of their infant
son, little Charley, aged fourteen and a
half months, which occurred on last Sat?
urday, after a long sickness from measles
followed by teething. The remains were
interred in the cemetery of Lebanon
Church on last Sabbath, after appropriate
funeral services conducted by Rev. J. S.
Murray, and attended by many of the
friends and acquaintances of the parents.
No establishment in upper Carolina car?
ries a better arranged stock or is more
thoroughly equipped than the large and
popular house of Bleckley, Brown & Fret
well. Their stock is immense, and com?
prises everything that is needed on the
farm or in the home. They are now
pushing their dry goods department,
which is crowded to its utmost capacity
with the most beautiful goods, which are
being sold at astonishingly low prices. A
visit to this store, if only to inspect the
stock, is interesting and amply repays the
trouble incurred. Sec their new adver?
tisement.
Last Friday Mr. John Spearman, who
lives just across the line in Bickens Coun?
ty, above Pendleton, exhibited in onr
office a rattle-snake bide, which was
stuffed with bran. It measured four feet
and four inches in length and ten inches
round, and had nine rattles and one but?
ton. A few weeks ago Mr. Spearman's
children, while playing near the house,
discovered the snake. They got out of its
reach immediately, and informed their
father of what they had seen. He went to
it and killed it with a piece of scantling.
The snake is the largest, we believe, we
have ever seen in this section.
Brownlee & Brown certainly have one
of the neatest and best equipped grocery
stores in the State. Their stock consists
of fancy and family groceries, canned
goods, confectioneries, fruits, cigars and
tobacco, all of which have been selected
with great care. Very often housekeep?
ers find it difficult to get up a good meal.
When they are thus troubled we advise
them to visit this store, for they will find
there everything that is good to eat. This
firm has only been in business about a
year, and in that short time has built up
a fine business. Their prices please every?
body. Read their new advertisement.
Albert Shumate, a negro man who has
been waiting around the stores and
rooms in town, stole some clothing from
the young men of one of the rooms upon
which he had been waiting, and was
arrested last week for the offence. Mayor
Tolly turned the case over to the Trial
Justice, who ordered Shumate committed
to jail in default of bail. He got the offi?
cer to take him to Miss Lizzie William's
store, where he said be could secnre bail,
and on arriving there, made efforts to
obtain security, and failing, ran through
the back of the store, and being well
acquainted with the premises, got the
start of the officer in charge, and made
?ood his escape. It is a good riddance of
ad rubbish.
We are agaiu called upon to chronicle
the death of another estimable young
man in the person of Mr. B. Newton Mat
tison, who diel at his home near Honea
Path on Wednesday morning at 2
o'clock, after an illness of about three
weeks with typhoid fever. Mr. Mattison
has been a resident of this city for the
past three years, and at the time of his
death was employed as a salesman in the
store of Brown Bros. Three weeks ago
he was taken ill, and at once went to his
home. He was about 27 years of age,
and was a young man of many virtue3,
He has a host of friends in the city, and
his death is deeply regretted by them.
At the last session of the Legislature the
law for the protection of game birds was
amended so that it is illegal to kill par?
tridges, doves, &c, previous to the 1st
day of November. For the information of
all concerned we print Section 15G4 of the
Statutes relating to game birds : "It shall
not be lawful for any person in this State,
between the first day of April and the first
day of November, in any year hereafter,
to catch, kill or injure, or to pursue with
snch intent, or to sell or expose for sale,
any wild turkey, partridge, dove, wood?
cock or pheasant, and any person found
guilty thereof shall be fined not less than
ten dollars, or be imprisoned not less than
ten days, which fine, if imposed, shall go
one-half thereof to the informer and the
other half to the school fund of the county
wherein the offence was committed."
Lesser & Co. appear before onr] readers
this week in a large and inteiesting- ad?
vertisement, which every one who con?
templates buying dry goods, hats, shoes,
millinery goods, etc., shonld read care?
fully, as it contains valuable information
to them. Their store room is now crowd?
ed with one of the largest and prettiest
stock of goods they have ever brought to
Anderson. Every department is full and
complete. They handle all grades of
goods, which have been marked down at
prices that will please the closest buyer.
They are making a specialty of ladies' fine
dress goods, and we advise onr lady
friends to inspect them before making
their purchases elsewhere. The Messrs.
Lessor have the experience and judgment,
and when buying their stock know ex?
actly what suits our people. Be sure to
give them a call, and see their beantiful
goods.
A few days ago we made a trip some
distance into the country. Along the
roads we traveled we found that the far?
mers were keeping pretty well up with
their cotton, though the fields are still
white, showing that the staple is.opening
very fast. There is a very good late crop
of cotton, and if frost will only stay ofF
awhile longer, tbe yield will be increased
considerably. A fine crop of fodder and
hay has been gathered, and nearly every
farm we passed seems to have grown a
good crop of sorghum. The farmers are
so busy with their cotton that not mnch
preparation has yet been made for sowing
small grain. In conversation with one of
Anderson County's most intelligent and .
prosperous farmers, he told us that bis
crop of cotton would not turn out much
better than last year, and that his crop Of
corn on the low bottom lands was a fail?
ure, yet bis upland corn was fine. He
thinks there will be sufficient corn made
in the County to do our farmers, and is of
the opinion that the farmers generaUy are
in a better condition financially than they
have been in several years.'
Our business engagements were such as
to prevent us from attending the Pendle
ton Stock Show last Tuesday, but from
what we have been able to learn it was a
big success. Every thing passed off qui?
etly and in order, reflecting great credit
upon Capt. Norris, the President of the
Pendleton -Farmers' Society, and his effi?
cient co-laborers. The crowd in attend?
ance is said to have numbered between
two and three thousand. People gathered
from every direction. The display of
colts is said to have been very fine- The
grounds were in fine condition, the day
was lovely, and every thing contributed
to the success of the enterprise. Some of
the largest stock farms around Pendleton
were not represented, tbe stock being
kept in trim for the Atlanta Exposition.
The Pendleton Stock Show is destined to
become the big thing for upper Sonth
Carolina. Already its good effects maybe
seen in the improved quality of cows and
horses in Anderson County. Men who,
for years, have paid no attention to stock,
are now becoming ambitions to have fewer
but better cattle and a finer breed of
horses. We are glad President Norris and
his coadjutors are receiving the encour?
agement they so richly deserve.
A certain young man of the city started
out to call on a young lady a few even?
ings since, and when he reached the front
gate he found the faithful yard dog lying
just on tbe inside of the yard. The young
man stopped on the outside and meditated
for a few minutes, and be concluded that
as he bad on his best pair of pants he
would not enter, as he knew if he did he
would probably be forced to have the
pants patched next day. He, therefore,
stood on thesidewalk and hollered "hello"
until he attracted the attention of the "old
man," who came out and escorted him in.
Another young man of the city went into
the country recently to see a lady friend.
When he reached the house he went in
and knocked, but found that the occu?
pants were absent. His loud rapping on
the door attracted the attention of the
yard dog, which came up to the front steps
and eyed the young man rather closely,
and then lay down in the walk. The
young man says he wasn't frightened a
bit, but rather than run the risk of having
bis breeches torn, he sat down in a com?
fortable rocking-chair on the piazza, and,
lighting a cigar, spent an hour very lone?
ly, trying to make friends with the dog,
which after awhile got up and walked
away. The young man then left and went
on ihe hunt of the young lady, whom he
soon found, but of course did not tell, her
his experience with the dog. Both of
these young men are very reticent about
the above, but we have managed to get
hold of it, and it is too good to keep.
They both vow, however, that they are
not afraid of dogs.
Farmers' Convention.
In pursuance of the call for the meeting
of tbe farmers of Anderson County to elect
delegates to the State Farmers' Conven?
tion, a number of the prominent and in?
fluential farmers of the County met in the
Court House on last Monday, and was
called to order by Col. D. K. Norris, the
President of the Convention, who made a
thoughtful and earnest address upon the
condition and needs of the farmers of the
State, and the importance and prospects of
success of the pending farmers' movement
in this State.
Col. Joshua Jameson was requested to
act as Secretary of the meeting, and on
motion of Maj. T. H. Russell Col. D. K.
Norris was re-elected President of the Con?
vention. He declined the position, but
was unanimously re-elected, notwithstand?
ing his declination, and thereupon an?
nounced that he could not, under the cir?
cumstances, do otherwise than serve.
The election of delegates to the State
Convention resulted in the selection of the
following gentlemen, to wit: D. K. Norris,
J. Belton Watson, J. M. Glenn, John C.
Watkins and Joel T. Rice, with Messrs.
W. A. Neal, M. B. Richardson, E. P.
Earle. W- E- Walters and R. P. Clink
scales as alternates. Messrs. W. A. Goer,
N. T. Richardson and J. A. Hall acted as
tellers in tins election, which was conduct?
ed by ballot.
Hon. J. Belton Watson offered the fol
lowipg resolutions, which were adopted by
the meeting without dissent:
Resolved, That an Agricultural College,
separate and apart from the South Carolina
College, is a necessity to the farming ele?
ment of the State, and should be no longer
postponod.
Resolved, That a reorganization of the
Bureau of Agriculture is demanded by the
interest of the farmers, and that its man?
agement be put into the hands of practical
agriculturists.
Resolved, That the delegation from this
Convention be charged with the duty of
presenting these resolutions to the Far?
mers' Association to be held in Columbia
in December next, and that action be then
taken on them.
After addresses from Messrs. Watson and
Simpson, the Convention adjourned.

To the Honorable B. C. Presshj, Presiding
Judge :
The Grand Jury beg leave to report that
they have passed upon all bills of indict?
ment given out by the Solicitor, and have
otherwise discharged their duties.
We are gratified to be able to state a
general improvement in the conditon of
the public highways, and are satisfied that
the new road law is being enforced in most
sections of the County, but complaints
have been made to us in reference to the
roads in some sections. Prominent
among these is one referring to part of the
road leading from Town Creek to J. Belton
Watson's ; another is the road from Doo
ley's Ferry to Abbeville, which we are
informed is impassable. Complaint has
also been made that on the Shallow Ford
Road, near Mrs, Martha Watson's, a fence
has been built so as to endanger life and
property. We are informed that the
County Commissioners have been request?
ed to have said fence removed, and that it
has not been done, and prominent citizens
have, by their memorial, called our atten?
tion to the matter. We, therefore, recom?
mend that the County Commissioners see
that the law be enforced throughout the
County.
We have received a communication from
certain citizens in Garzin Township, on
and near Twenty-Three Mile Creek, call?
ing our attention to the obstructions in
said creek from Dickson's to Passmore's
Bridge, the overflows caused thereby, and
the sickness resulting therefrom. We ap?
pend the communication to our report, and
recommend tbat it be referred to the
County Commissioners to take such steps
in tbe matter as the law requires.
At the last Term of Court a report was
made by the Grand Jury as to the condi?
tion of the public offices of the County.
Since then the bonds of the various Coun?
ty offices have been examined by a com?
mittee of the Grand Jury, and we now re?
port the bonds as being entirely satisfac?
tory to us.
The Grand Jury are entirely satisfied
with the present management of the Poor
House and Farm. The County Jail has
been visited by a committee, and the same
was found in good condition, and the
comfort and welfare of the inmates care?
fully looked after by the Sheriff.
We would recommend that the Court
room be supplied with needed furniture,
and the Jury rooms supplied with comfor?
table seats and tables for the use and con?
venience of jurymen.
Quite a number of Trial Justices in the
County have brought their dockets for in?
spection, as required by law, but there are
sev eral who have not done so. We would
recommend that the necessity of so doing,
in some way, be brought to their attention.
In making this, our last, Presentment,
we acknowledge our gratit i to the So?
licitor and the officers of the Court for
their uniform courtesy and kindness to us
during the present year, and to his Honor,
the Presiding Judge, at this Term of the
Court.
J. C. Watkins, Foreman.

Messrs. Westmoreland Bros., Greenville,
S. C.: During the summer and fall of last
year I was suffering with nervous dyspep?

and extreme nervous prostration. I was
treated by one of our most eminent physi?

finally he advised me to try your Calisaya
Tonic, which I did, and from the first I
took commenced improving, and am hap?
py to say that I am entirely relieved by the
use of the Tonic, and gaining my former
strength and flesh very rapidly.
Very, respectfully.
