The vacancy in the postoface at Will? lamston caused by the removal of E. B. Donnald has been filled by the appoint? ment of A. H. Ford. Mr. Ford received his commission Tuesday.

Johnstone, of this city, has been invited to attend the annual meet? ing of the State Dental Society, which meets in New Orleans on the 14th inst., and to perform several operations in dent? istry before the body. This is certainly a , high compliment to the Doctor's skill as | a dentist. Mr. Hartwell M. Ayer, of this city, has accepted a position on the staff of the World, a new morning paper which will make its appearance in Charleston on the 7th inst. Mr. Ayer is a forcible writer, and wiU, no doubt, fill his position with credit to himself and satisfactorily to his employers. The other day Dr. H. H. Scudday show? ed us a thimble which he has carried in his pocket for more than thirty years. The Doctor used to be a tailor, and?as Andy Johnson once told an old gentleman who called at the White House to inquire if it was a fact that he was once a tailor? a good one, too. A fire occurred in the city on Wednes? day night of last week, about 12 o'clock, destroy ihg the stables on the premises of Mrs. Keese and Mrs. Bewley.

Craig is now the proprietor of the City Bakery, and having secured the services of a new baker, is now furnish? ing his customers with most excellent bread.

A. Jackson of this city, has just returned from an extended visit to* por? tions of Alabama. He spent considerable time at Decatur.

He says the necessaries of life are much higher there than in Ander? son. A company of amateurs from Greenville will render Pinafore in the Masonic Hall on tomorrow (Friday) evening. The company is composed of some of the best musical talent of onr sister city, and the opera will no doubt be rendered in a most excellent manner. Tbe company should be greeted by a large audience. Admis? sion, 50 cents. Reserved seats may be secured in advance at Hill Bros. A young lady in New York, tired of fancy work and painting placques, tried the healthy and useful occupation of peeling potatoes as a diversion. In the first one she grasped she found deeply imbedded a silver dollar, which some far? mer,-doubtless, had dropped in tbe fur' row ploughing. The moral of this tale is that attention to domestio duties never goes unrewarded, even in this world. Last Friday Mr. Jas. D. McElroy sold twelve bales of cotton in the city. Of course, this was only a portion of bis crop, but by raising his own supplies he was enabled to bold this cotton until it suited him to sell it, and now he has suf? ficient money to make another crop. Mr. McElroy is a model farmer, and if every farmer in Anderson County would follow his example, what a prosperous people we would be! "Mamma," said a beautiful maiden in tender tones the other morning at break? fast, "?-is coming around to-morrow night." "Well, what of that?" replied mamma, with ill-concealed disappoint? ment "He's been coming every Sunday night for two years." "Very true, mam? ma; but neither of them was Leap Year," and a cold, hard, determined look spread over her lovely features an inch and a half .thick. We wish to call attention to the very liberal offer of Samuel Wilson, Seedsman, Mechan ics ville, Bucks County, Pa, whose advertisement appears in this issue. Mr. Wilson is not only a large grower of flow? er and vegetable seeds, but makes a spe? cialty of introducing new and good varie? ties of corn, oats, potatoes, &c, besides dealing in all the best and finest breeds of poultry. His well illustrated and descrip? tive 100-page catalogue will be sent free to all who apply for it. The Augusta Chronicle, of last Thurs? day, says: "Chairman Murray, who open? ed the proceedings of the Savannah Val? ley Convention yesterday morning, is a member of the State Senate of South Car? olina from the County of Anderson. He has just retired from the editorial chair of the Anderson Intelligencer to devote himself entirely to the practice of law. Mr. Murray was summoned suddenly from the floor to preside, and his opening speech was an introduction of solid fact and well-knit argument. He is a ready and convincing talker." Mr. W. P. Stevenson has presented us with some very fine turnips, of the "Yel? low Globe" and "Golden Ball" varieties. Mr. Stevenson tried banking his turnips this winter, and was quite successful, as he now has plenty of turnips in good con? dition. His plan, briefly stated, is about as follows: With a turning-plow he run a deep furrow ou each side of his rows of turnips, which exposed them. Then cov? ering the turnips with pine straw, he used his plow in turning the dirt back upon them, following along with a hoe, which completed tbe banking. Mr. Stevenson's plan is simple, and is worth trying. The following bit of advice from an ex? change is so good that the Intelligencer appropriates it and asks its readers to study it carefully: "There is one thing that the property holders of every city should bear in mind. It is, that what is j good for the whole city is money in the ' pockets of the property holders of that city. Then, contributing to any enter? prise that will benefit the city, is enhanc? ing the value of their property. This may come in the form of taxation on the prop? erty, or by direct subscription, but the rule holds tbe same. So do not fail to seize every opportunity to push your city to the front, and by all means do not be a kicker against anything necessary to the improvement of your city. Do not be a mossback." Having sold his stock of goods, Mr. M. B. Arnstein will cease to do business in Anderson, and will leave in a few days for Knoxville, Tenn., where he will conduct the dry goods business on a more exten? sive scale. By his leaving, Anderson loses an enterprising merchant. For nine years he has been a resident of our city, and for the past five years has conducted a successful business on his own account. Mr. Arnstein is a thoroughbred dry goods man, and has always displayed superior judgment and fine taste in the selection of his stock of goods. His establishment has always been a popular resort for the ladies, who knew he could always Bupply their wants. He knew what to buy, when to buy and how to buy, aud was always posted in the latest style. He will certain? ly be an acquisition to the business circle of Knoxville. Mr, Arnsteiu is a courte? ous and affable gentleman, and in his new home he will havo our best wishes for bis success. We are glad to learn that the members of the Anderson Baptist Church have taken steps contemplating the remodel? ing of^ their present building. They have secured tbe opinion of'a competent archi? tect that the present walls can be made available, and the architect has furnished a rough plan of remodeling, which con? templates the tearing down of the present steeple and front and erecting a modern front, with towers at each end, changing the interior of the auditorium and reduc? ing the size of the present windows. The plan also provides for an addition from the rear of the present building for Sun? day School and prayer meetings, with a pastor's study. We hope the enterprise ! will be successful, for nothing adds more to the interest in any place than good Church buildings, and when the plan pro? posed is carried out, the Baptists will have a Church building of which they may well be proud. Mr. M. B. Arnstein has sold the stock and fixtures of the New York Cash Store to five of Anderson's popular young men, Messrs. T. S. Crayton, jr., J. T. Jones, TJ. E. Seybt, W. F. Cox and G. F. Bigby, who will continue the business at the old stand. Tbe new firm will be known as Crayton, Jones & Seybt. Messrs. Cox and Bigby are not active partners, and will have nothing to do with the conduct of the business. This is certainly a strong firm. Though comparatively young in years, these gentlemen are old hands in the dry goods business. Mr. Crayton has been with Mr. Arnstein for several years; Mr. Jones has been with C. F. Jones & Co. ever since that firm has been in busi? ness, and for six years Mr. Seybt has been W. A. Chapman's^chief clerk. The new firm will handle about the same line of goods as has been kept by Mr, Arnstein. These young men are bound to succeed, for they are energetic, worthy and relia? ble. We bespeak for them a liberal pat? ronage. Read their advertisement, One of the most pleasant events that has occurred in the city in some time was the "Leap Year Sociable," given by a number of the young ladies of the city at the hospitable home of Dr. J. T. McFall last Friday evening. There were about fifteen couples present, with a few young men who were not so fortunate as to have escorts. The young ladies, though a lit? tle timid, (which was natural, as this wa3 tbe first attempt of many of them to play the "gallant") were very attentive, and made tbe occasion a most enjoyable one. Some of the young men were afraid they would be "wall-flowers," but they were agreeably disappointed, for there were none. Tbe young ladies havo formed themselves into a club, and propose hav? ing several similar occasions throughout the year. We know they will makeasuc coss of every one of them. Several of the girls say they mean business, and are de? termined to make some of our bachelors say "yes," or take to the woods. Ander? son has several hard cases among tbe "bachelors, who. have stood the sieges of many years, and they will be watched with anxious interest by their friends. Attention, Confederate Survivors 1 A meeting of all soldiers of the Confed? erate army from Anderson County, or now residing in Anderson; are requested to meet in tbe Court House at 12 m. on Salesday, the 8th day of February, 1888.

Denver Items. So much raiuy weather has retarded the sowing of Spring oats, and farmers are getting anxious for some fair weather in which to finish sowing. Wheat and Fall oats are looking very well. Farmers are enlarging their farm operations by clear? ing more land and buying more horses and mules. With favorable seasons the outlook is promising for a large crop this year. The school at this place is in a flourish? ing condition, having more scholars en? rolled this year than any previous year, which attests the well-merited apprecia? tion of Miss Carrie Watkins as a teacher. James Porter bad the misfortune to lose all his outbuildings, together with farm? ing tools and a buggy, by fire recently. The fire either originated from some ashes that were taken from the fire-place, or was the work of an incendiary. N. J. Huffstetler, an experienced black? smith from Cleveland County, N. C? has lately come to assist his brother in tbe shop at this place. Miss Eugenia Russell, one of Newber ry's most charming young ladies, is visit? ing the family of her brothor, Capt. R. H. Russell. Well, Mr. Editor, in regard to your re? quest in your "salutatory" that the In? telligencer correspondents continue to write for the paper, I would say that it is with pleasure that I shall try to keep yc? informed of anything about here which I think will be of any interest to your readers. Please accept my congrat? ulations, and allow me to wish you great success as an Editor. Jay. Flat Rock Items. Tho farmers have done very little plow? ing up to this time. Mr. William McGregor is now confined to his room, and has been for somo time. Mr. J. R. Armstrong, one of our oldest citizens, has been quite sick during the past week, bub we are glad to know he is better. The Union Meeting which convened with Mt. Creek Church last Saturday and Sunday was largely attended. Mr. J. B. Watson was elected moderator and C. O. Burriss clerk.; S. P. T?te, Esq., is now erecting a new dwelling house in front of the oue he now occupies, which adds much to the appear? ance as well as to the convenience. Dr. Hay nie and family, of Bowersville, Ga., is in this community visiting rela? tives. His stay has been longer than he expected, owing to his little daughter get? ting severely burned. We should learn to say no. If a man makes a request of you which you cannot grant, tell him so at once. Don't deceive him; if you do, he will hate you all his life, if he does not despise you. Mr. P. C. Hall, while riding horseback after night, came to a bridge which was impassable, and thought he would cross the ditch above the bridge. His horse, in stead of stepping across the ditch, slipped and fell, throwing Mr. Hall a complete somersault. He says If any one had seen him while his feet were in the air, they would have thought be belonged to a circus. However, he caught his horso and went on his way, rejoicing that no one saw him. Flat.

The celebrated BOB WHITE PLOW does the same work as the Boy Dixie exactly, and only costs $1.50, and can be attached to any ordi? nary "Iron Foot Stock which has a bolt above and one underneath the beam. Many of our customers like it much better than the regular Dixie, on account of its being so much lighter to lift around, and then it is so much cheaper. We guarantee it to give perfect satisfac? tion, or money cheerfully refunded, after a fair trial, but they stick every time, not? withstanding this unusual guarantee. By taking off the long wing and putting on a short one, it makes the best Subsoil known to agriculturists for Spring plow? ing.

In pro* visions we had thought Bacon too high, and did not stock up as heavily as is usual with us at this season, and contra ry to our expectations the market seems still tending upwards. Of course no one outside of the big meat speculators know the future, and they will carry the market whichever way suits their pock* ets best.

Bill Arp can write and Bill Arp can speak, And Bill Arp can talk all day, But he can't care the colic nor the lumbago, Because he wasn't raised that way. It is all very funny, and It makes the crowd laugh, Let him get off what stale joke he may, And the small boy howls like a dying calf, Because he was raised that way. But when anybody's sick away they go, Do come quick, Doctor, I pray, Dad's fell in a fit, nobody can help him but you, Because you were raised that way. So the philanthropic Doctor gathers up bis humbug nostrums, goes and cures the old sinner, and for awhile nothing is too good to be said about him and his hum? bugs until some other stump-speaker pokes more fun at them.
