The dwelling house with all its contents of Mr. J. B. El rod, of WilliamstonTown ahip, was destroyed by fire last Friday night.

Shipments of oranges from Florida have already begun, but the first fruit which arrives is the "dropped orange,'? and is not as good as those polled from the tree.

The Augusta Chronicle's trade issue, which was published last Sunday, was an immense sheet, . It contained twenty pages, and gave an exhaustive review of the business and many enterprises of that live city. The Due West correspondent of the Abbeville Press and Banner says: "Rev. J. : S. Murray has resigned the pastorate of the Little River Baptist Church, to take effect in December.

McCauley diecl at her home in Seneca last Monday morning, after an illness of several weeks. Mrs. McCauley was formerly Mrs. Hewitt, and was the youngest daughter of Maj. A. R. Broyles. She was well known in Anderson, and I her many friends here were made sad at the announcement of her death. She was a most excellent lady, and a consistent member of the Baptist Church. A devo? ted husband and two small children are left to mourn her death. Mrs. Thomas Dickson died at her home near Pendleton last Tnesday morning, at the advanced age of 78 years. Her re? mains were interred at the Old Stone Church on Wednesday. Mrs. Dicks on was a native of Abbeville County, but for the past forty years or more has resided in this County. She had been for years a faithful member of the Presbyterian Church, and was a most estimable Chris? tian lady. Her venerable husband and family have the sympathy of many friends in their bereavement. The Seminary Signal (Gainesville, Ga.,) says of Rev. W. H. Strickland, the new pastor of the Baptist Church thei?: "Com? ing to Gainesville in the midsc of the heated term, he entered upon bis work with such alacrity as only a true, conse? crated Christian can possess. He has al? ready found his way into the hearts of his people, and all are resolved to support and encourage him in every way possible. Mr. Strickland is a broad-minded, big hearted man. His sermons show rare culture and a powerful intellect. He has made the girls at the Seminary several visits, and they all admire and love him." The (Gainesville, Ga.,) Seminary Signal, in speaking of the removal of Rev. A. A. Marshall from that city, says :? "Never did any Church part with a pastor more re? luctantly than did the Baptists of this city, when they were called upon to ac? cept the resignation of Rev. A. A. Mar? shall. For six yeais he had labored among them, breaking unto, them' the bread of life; visiting their sick and com? forting those in tronblo. He came to them in the first blush of young manhood, this being his first pastorate, and by his devotion to the cause of his Master and hi? untiring energy transformed a puny, weak organization to one of the strongest Churches in the State. But he thought his duty called him to another sphere, and we were forced to give him up."; The Court of Common Pleas has been busily engaged for the past week in dis? posing of the business of the term. His Honor, Judge Pressly, has worked inde fatigably, beginning at nine o'clock, and continuing the session to dark, with a short recess for dinner. The only case of pub: ic consequence, was the case of the City Council vs. the C & G. R. R., to compel the bridging of the width of the cuts on Main and McDuffie street. Maj. B. F. Whitner represented the City Coun? cil, and Messrs. J. L. Orr and E. B. Mur? ray the railroad. The case resulted in favor of the railroad. The Court will conclude to-day, all of the business of the term having been dispatched. His Honor, Judge Pressly, leaves the most pleasant recollections of his ability, rapidity and courtesy in dispatching the business of the term. * According to announcement, the An? derson County Bible Society held its an? nual meeting in the Baptist Church last Sunday night, a large crowd being pres? ent. Bev. T. H. Law, General Agent of the American Bible Society for North and South Carolina, was present, and de? livered an interesting address, in which he explained the objects and benefits of the Society.

Jones and J. B. Lew? is. The Society's depository will continue to be at Mr. A. B. Towers's store, where any person may go and buy a bible or testament at actual cost. Mr. D. A. Smith, of the Keowee Courier, has recently received a letter from his uncle, Hon. Walter M. Gibson, of the Sandwich Islands, who is now in San Francisco. The letter in full was pub? lished in last week's Courier, and from it we take the following extract: I fully intended, when I set out from Honolulu, to go East and South, and of course visit the cherished old backwoods of Anderson and Pickens and their peo? ple. But invalidism has held me here all the time allotted for such a travel. I must return to the islands the latter part of next .month according to agreement. I would be happy to shake hands again with a few friends in Anderson, Pendle? ton, Sandy Springs and Walhalla, and meet you and your dear family. Bat perhaps I may have opportunity ere long. We have a splendid line of steamships making the run from San Francisco to Honolulu within a week, and no when I am healthy and strong again, aa I hope to be, to the extent that my years will per? mit, I shall hike pleasure in a run over ocean and over land to visit the old stamping grounds of my happy spring time of life. I always think of Rachel's (his wife's) little grave; the wooded knoll by the old house; the cool gargling spring near by, where she and I often dipped and drank; the shaded little creek, down in the bottom; the fallen tree trank over the stream, over which I crossed with the help of her steadying hand; the grand old woods through which we rambled hand in hand, and as I think of all this, and the love of my youth, I pray, God bless old South Carolina. For Kent. One 5-Room Cottage, opposite the new Methodist Ch urch. Apply to 14-2 F. T. WlLHITE. Fork Items. Cotton in being ginned in this section for tho twonty-eighth part. Crawford, an infant son of Mr. W. J. CYmiptoti, died on liio lSth ult., of cholora infantum, aged ten months. Prof. D. H. Russell will remain in charge of tho Townville School. The ac? tion of the trustees and patrons of this school is evidence that Mr. Russell's ser? vices are duly appreciated. Our farmers do not understand why the Seneca cotton market is so far behind An? derson this season. A few years back the cotton of this community was mostly sold at Seneca, but latterly, and especially du? ring the present season, Anderson has been from one-half to three-quarters of a cent in advance, so that the bulk of the cotton raised in this section has been di? rected to tbat market. Tbe Fork bait no alarming amount of illiteracy, yet a white farmer in these parts, who has been sorely annoyed by trespassers, has posted near to his prem? ises (ho following notice: "sePtember 80,1887. "I forBid euey Body a travelin this path day or nite Black.or White, i forBid eney Body a comln in side of this paper, in fact it is fifty Dollera find fer eney Body to oome in too hundred yards of mi house." We feel justified in stating that there is a growing sentiment in this part of the County in favor of working the public roads by taxation. The argument is sim? ple and conclusive. It is said that there are those that are worth ten thousand dol? lars and tbat have stock, wagons, and ve? hicles on the roads almost continually, and yet they contribute nothing towards working them; while there are others tbat are worth less than five hundred dol? lars .and tbat probably have no stock at all, that are forced to work upon the pub? lic roads at least eight days in the year. About the 30th of August last a rabid dog put in appearance in tbe Grant neigh? borhood, three miles west of Townville, biting every thing with which it came in contact. The alarm being given, the dog with others bitten was promptly despatch? ed. However, before it was killed it had bitten a valuable horse belonging to Mr Benjamin Hix and also a fine mule be? longing to Mr. James Bates. During the last few days both the horse and mule died in violent paroxysms, showing un? mistakable signs of hydrophobia, being probably the first well authenticated case of the dreadful disease ever reported from this community. Primus Parks, an agod colored man in this community, holds notes against his former master, the late Col. Thomas Parks, amounting to five or six hundred dollars. These notes were given by Col. Parks for money borrowed from his faith? ful old slave more than a quarter of a century ago, and are so crisp with age and soiled by use, tbat they are barely legible. He made the money, as he says, "working patches on nights and Sundays way back fo' do war, and lent it to Mars Tom." Uncle Primus is strictly honest, and enjoys tbe distinction of being in every respect .trustworthy. He certainly ? deserves better treatment than he has re? ceived at somebody's hands. We would say in conclusion, Mr. Edi? tor, tbat it is n deplorable fact that whis? ky is still retailed in your city. We are informed that those addicted to the use of intoxicants can readily obtain it; and even boys and negroes that carry cotton to your market from this section, often re? turn intoxicated. Who is responsible for this state of affairs? It certainly indi? cates a very low status of loyalty to the municipal government, and, though we are unable to fix the guilt upon any one, tbe fact that the violation is the work of whiskey men, is evidently apparent. We guess it will be hurled at you at your next election as a clincher in favor of license. B. Keal's Greek Item?. The turnip crop is almost a failure. Some few farmers have begun sowing oats.
