Persons who begin to garden about the first of April usually have vegetables as early as others who plant in February. The main thing is to prepare the ground well, manure well, plant seed enough to % get a good stand and work fast and well. The continued rains haye caused most of the 'farmers to be behind with their work. So far very little corn has been planted. As everything happens for the best, the character of the season should notkave the effect of discouraging any on,ev / A call will be made before long for a Sunday School Convention of all the Sun I day Schools in Anderson County.

The Centerville Township Singing Association will bold its next meeting at New Prospect Church on the third Sun? day in April, at which time Messrs. J. G. Ciinkscales and C. Wardlaw will deliver addresses and Mr. R. M. Burriss read an essay. The public is cordially invited to attend the meeting. Chief Divver has made arrangements with the railroads to transport free of cost all fire apparatus to and from Ander? son during the Firemen's Tournament in June. Those companies which intend participating in our Tournament should notify Chief Divver as early as possible, so be can notify the railroads. C. Wardlaw, Esq., has'promised to be present at the Eureka Sunday School next Sunday afternoon, and tell them about his trip* to Spartanburg. He reports a very pleasant and profitable meeting of the Convention, and one that was calculated to do a great and good work for the Sunday Schools in our State.. Our young friend, Mr. R. L. Robinson, of Level Land, Abbeville.County, who has been attending the Lexington, (Ky.) Business College for the past three months, returned home lost Saturday. Mr. Rob? inson took a thorough business course in the College, and graduated with honors. He has our best wishes for his success in the future. We were the recipient, a few days ago, of a most beautiful and fragrant bouquet of flowers from tmr venerable friend, Mrs. Sarah A. Broyles. Though an octogena? rian, Mrs. Broyles takes considerable in? terest'in the cultivation of flowers, aud has a fine collection. We extend her our best thanks, and assure her the flowers were highly appreciated. The Court House needs re-painting and penciling badly. It begins to look very seedy. It would take only a few dollars to make the building look respectable, and we hope our County Commissioners will have it done, at least before the Firemen's Tournament. There will be a large crowd of strangers here then, and we want our, to wn to look its best The Rules and Regulations governing the Firemen's Tournament have been published and the prizes fixed.

If you wish to read a spicy home magazine, send $1 for a year's sub? scription to the'South Carolina Chautauquan, Bennettsville, 8. C. Col. Trowbridge received a letter Satur? day notifying him that the proposition of the Yonng America- Cornet Band to fur? nish music for the Floral Fair in Charles? ton on the 17th, 18th and 19th inst., had been aoccepted. The Band is now practic? ing for the occasion, and the boys are looking forward to the trip with pleasant anticipations. Col. Trowbridge intended running an excursion .to Charleston du? ring the Fair, but arrangements could not be made with the railroads. However, those of our people who desire to visit Charleston then may do so at little.ex? pense, as all the railroads will offer re? duced rates of fare. \ The practice of killing mocking birds because of imaginary depredations by them or for pure wantonness, is to be de? precated; and should not be allowed. There is no harm in mocking birds; they destroy nothing. On the other hand they have their cheerful song, and thousands of insects des toyed, to the credit of each one. The birds are a blessing peculiar to the Southern States alone, and should be fostered instead of killed. The State of South Carolina appreciates this, and on her statute books, among the acts of 1883, section 1696, will be found a law making the killer of mocking birds liable to a fine of five dollars for each bird killed. The Sullivan Hardware Company have an advertisement in this issue that should be read carefully by our farmers. The time for planting cotton will soon be here, and those of our farmers who contem? plate buying a cotton planter' should in? quire into the merits of the Brooks Cot? ton Planter, for which they are agents. It is said to be one of the best planters oh the market, and is guaranteed to doits work perfectly. Every farmer should have one. .The Pennington Harrow is another implement that farmers should have. Call on the Sullivan Hardware Co. and examine their stock of agricultural implements. They have many things that will please you. It is seldom that our people have an opportunity of attending a more interest? ing entertainment than that given by the ( celebrated Till Family Concert Company in the Masonic Hall last Thursday even? ing. The Company was greeted by a large and appreciative audience. Their music from ringing rocks was indeed a revela? tion. The rock harmonicon consists of 60 stones, of different lengths and varying cords, upon which, with mallets, charm? ing music was produced. The music from the fairy belts, the xylophone, the ocarina, the glasses, and various others, was highly enjoyable; The singing, also, was very fine. The. entertainment throughout was exceedingly chaste. Mr. Will R. Hubbard and Miss Dessie Keese, eldest daughter of Mrs. E. E. Kjeese, were married on Wednesday morning, at 9 o'clock, at the residence of the bride's mother, in this city, Rev. T. C. Ligon performing the ceremony. A large number of the friends of the happy couple were present to witness the cere? mony. Immediately after the ceremony the couple left the city on the C. & G. train to visit Columbia, Augusta, Savan? nah and other places. Both the contract? ing parties are well known in Anderson, and are highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends. We extend to the happy pair our best wishes, and hope they will enjoy long lives of happiness and prosperity. From the edition of Geo. P. Rowell & Go's "American Newspaper Directory," published April 2d (its twentieth year), it appears that the Newspapers and Period? icals of all kinds issued in the United States and Canada, now number 16,310, showing a gain of 890 during the last 12, months and of 7,136 in 10 years. The publishers of tho Directory assert that the impression that when the proprietor of a newspaper undertakes to state what has been bis exact circulation, ho does not generally tell the truth is an erroneous one: and they conspicuously offer a re? ward of $100 for every instance in their book for this year, where it can be shown 1 that the detailed report received from a publisher was untrue. < A meeting of the members of Grace (Episcopal) Church was held Monday afternoon, at which the following officers were elected: Wardens, E. A. Bell and C. W. Webb; Vestrymen, R. S. Porcher, S. M. Orr, E. M. Rucker, F. G. Brown, R. E. Belcher, R. C. Webb, E. W. Taylor. Messrs. E. A. Bell, Fred G. Brown, S. M. Orr and E. M. Rucker were elected dele? gates to the Diocesan Convention, which meets here on May 2nd. At this Conven ? tion the position of the negro in the Epis? copal Church will 4,robably be defined, I and his right to a seat and vote in the Con \ vention will be settled. These are very important questions in' the Episcopal Church at this time, and* whatever action is taken should be carefully considered. Another change in the schedule of the Savannah Valley Railroad occurred last Sunday, and the change is certainly more favorable to the business interests of Anderson than the one in operation last week. The train leaves Anderson at G.20 a. m., and returns at 1.45 p. m. In the afternoon this same train leaves Ander? son at 5 p. m., and goes as far as Lowndes ville, from which place it immediately re? turns, arriving in Anderson at 7 p. m. This schedule will be a. great convenience to people living along the line as far down as Lowndesville, ?s it will enable them to come to Anderson on the 1.45 tiain and return home the same afternoon at 5 p. m., thus giving them more than three hours in the city. We will publish the new schedule in full next week. - We are informed that it is reported in some sections of the State that Anderson would not be able to accommodate the South Carolina Episcopal Convention, which is to convene in this city Wednes? day, May 2nd. This repor4 we think, is an injustice to Anderson. The Coaven tion, we are told, is usually attended by about one hundred delegates, and it will be an easy matter to entertain that num? ber in our midst. In years past Anderson has entertained the Presbyterian Synod, the Baptist State Convention and the Methodist Annual Conference, all of which are much larger bodies than the Episco? pal Convention. Our homes will all be thrown open to our Episcopalian friends, and they will meet with a cordial recep? tion from our whole people. Every dele? gate who may attend the Convention will be provided witb a comfortable home. Orr Lodge, No. 5, A. 0. TJ. W.,' or? ganized last Friday night with the fol? lowing officers: J. E. Breazeale, Master Workmen; L. E. Norryee, Foreman ; R. R. Todd, Overseer; J. B. Lewis, Re? corder; J. M. Cathcart, Financier ; C. W. Webb, Receiver; C. G. Richey, Guide; E. L. Glark, Inside Watchman; W. H. Simpson, Outside Watchman; Dr. S. M. Orr, C. A. Reed and M. P. Tribble, Trus? tees ; Dr. E. C. Frierson, Medical Exam? iner. Capt Murphy, tho Deputy Grand Master for this jurisdiction, succeeded in getting fifty-four names on his list as charter members, and made a very favor? able impression on our people. The order has taken a strong hold on our people, and it is confidently expected that its members will continue to increase. The meeting last Friday night is said to have been a very enthusiastic one, and all the members seem well pleased, lhe Lodge takes its name from our lamented fellow-townsman, Hon. James L. Orr. We invite the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Dr. R. F. Divver, which appears elsewhere. Dr. Divver has established in Anderson a long felt want, viz., a first-class machine shop and foundry. He is engaged now in re-mod deling and enlarging his buildings, and bis machinery is arriving and being placed in position. He has spent some time in buying his machinery, all of which is of the latest improved patterns, and he will have one of the best equipped shops this side of Charleston. He is now prepared to repair all kinds of machinery, and also furnish any part or fixture of an engine or other machine. He will also keep on hand a full line of bolts, screws, machine oil, etc. A blacksmith shop will also be connected with his shops, and he will be prepared to do plantation work and horse-shoeing. He will do all work promptly, and at very low prices. Dr. Divver is an experienced and practical ma? chinist, and needs no commendation from us. He bas displayed considerable enter? prise in establishing these shops, and has invested considerable money in tbem, and he deserves a liberal patronage. Don't send your work away from homo, but give it to the Doctor. Last Saturday the road leading from Beaverdam Church to Piercetown was being worked. About the time the hands were ready to quit work, Frank Pool and Duff Rhodes, both white, got into a dis? pute over a shovel which Pool said he borrowed from Capt. Williams, Rhodes claiming it was his shovel. They finally decided to settle the dispute by a fair fight, and consequently at it they went. Pool gained the victory, to which Rhodes reluctantly yielded. At the result of this settlement Dock Donaldson was very much displeased, and began to curse and abuse Pool, who started home. After being followed for some distance Pool turned and said to the negro that he must hush cursing him, and stop following him. Only a few words were passed when both began Btriking at each other with the shovel. Several licks were made before any harm was done. Rut after so long a time Pool struck Dock on the head with the edge of his shovel, inflicting a very ugly wound about three inches long, and Dock hit Pool on the side of the face with the handle of the shovel. At this stage of the flght they were separated. We have not heard of any prosecutions growing out of this fight. Anderson Enterprises. The Tradesman, the leading trade journal of the South, published at Chattanooga, contains the following in reference to Anderson enterprises: R. A. May field has just started a new plaining mill at Anderson, with improved machinery. Barton & Townsend, of Anderson, have recently enlarged the capacity of their wood working machinery to meet their growing trade. The Anderson Oil and Fertilizing Co., at Anderson, a strong corporation, has not been able to meet the demand for* their fertilizers this season, though run? ning night and day with full capacity. The Sullivan Hardware Co., of Ander? son, have just completed a contract with J. E. Todd, of Donalds, S. C, for a five thousand dollar flour mill, and bavo under consideration application for two more mills of the same class. They expect to close contracts for these mills within tho next thirty days. They regard the out? look for the establishment of new factories and industries as decidedly more promis? ing than at any other period in their his? tory. The people are ripe for now enter? prises; no longer willing to rely on "King Cotton." The people have $70,000 subscribed among themselves to a cotton mill, and are ready to unito with other capital in effecting this result. More than $70,000 can be raised now. The current rate of interest for money loans is less than at any time since the war, which in? duces the local is ts to seek investments in manufacturing and industrial enterprises. Outside help and experience is anxiously looked for. Cotton is their chief product, yet the productions of this Piedmont section are varied and bountiful. , #35* Go to Hill Bros, and bny a bottle of B. B.

The principal topic of conversation about here now is the "varmint" that .is killing dogs and hogs and scaring people so.- Hearing it reported last Friday even? ing that it had been committing depreda? tions in the vicinity of Deep Creek Grange Hall, in company with Mr. C. L. McGaha, we visited one of the places it had been at on the night before, and found the people greatly excited over the occurrence. We made diligent enquiries of various persona trying to get reliable information, and will briefly state the information we ob? tained : Some time during Thursday, 29th inst., at Mr. W. L. Davis's it killed and eat a. pup, about two or three months old, and was seen by Mr. Davis, who describes it as looking very much like a dog.- Thursday night it was seen by Mr. A. P. Quales at his honse, and it appeared to want to pass through the door into the house, but was Srevented by Mr, Quales shutting the oor. He says it is a very pretty animal, and that it has a dark colored body, erect ears and a busby tail. Mr. II. M. Quales saw it in day time at some distance, and describes it as above. During Thursday night it visited the residence of W. Ii. Martin, where it killed one pig and fear? fully mangled another one larger than the one killed. We were shown tbe one that was so torn, and found both ears torn off close to the head, and all the skin and flesh gone from the eyes to end of nose, except the very tip of the nose. We also were shown quite a number of tbe tracks made by the thing while after the pigs, and found them closely resembling a dog track. Don't think one person in a hundred could detect any difference. On Friday morning it was at Mr. S. C. George's, where it attacked a calf but did no damage. It was seen by Mr. Tom Rice while at Mr, George's. It has als^ been seen by Mr. W. A. McGill, Wm. Davis, B. B. Davis and Mrs. B. B. Barnet, so we are informed. Mr. H. H. Gray informs us that during the wet weather five puppies on his plan? tation were eaten one night, and supposed to have been done by the same thing. It is generally supposed to be a wolf or some thing closely allied to the dog tribe" by its resemblance to a dog to such a marked' degree. Mr. W. A. G. McWhorter ad? journed his road bands Friday evening and a hunt was made for it, participated in by' twenty-five or thirty citizens, armed with guns, pistols, rocks and sticks, but the hunt was unsuccessful. Nearly every? body goes armed, and night travel is I almost a thing of the past. _ A feeling, of unrest pervades the community. A great deal of rain fell last ?'eek, stop? ping farm operations and swelling the water courses to a considerable size. Mr. T. R. Simpson reports Six and Twenty creek as being higher than for twelve years. Some damage was done to bridges. A very nice young bachelor came to Mr. Eskew's store lately and bought twenty five cents worth of flour, a half gallon of kerosene oil, a knife costing ten cents, five cents worth of soda and a cigar. His friends think he is going to get married, by the way be is preparing for house? keeping. A friend suggested to him that he buy a tin cup, but he said he was not buying luxuries. Mr. James Burriss from Franklin C n ty, Ga., who has been visiting relative in this County for some time, left for home on the evening of 2nd inst. Mrs. Sarah Simpson, formerly a resident of this County,' but now living near Tum? bling Shoals, in Laurens County, is visit? ing the family of her son, Mr. T. R. Simp? son. A severe storm of wind and rain, with some hail, passed through here Monday night. The thunder and lightning accom? panying it were almost incessant. As far as known no damage was done. Jay. Holland's Store Items. The storm on the night of the 20th did no serious harm in this section, though it looked for a few minutes like destruction was imminent. The roads in most instances have been worked, and the farms now call for every moment of tbe laborer's time. Guano is about all in the land; some corn planted, wheat and oats are looking well, and our farmers are in good spirits, hoping for a prosperous year. Colds of a violent type are prevalent in this vicinity, but since the abatement of the damp, cold weather tboy are conva? lescing. Since the warm days have appeared, it reminds us that Spring-timo has come. The blue-bird and the whippoorwill's notes can be heard, which betokens the departure of Winter, and that time is roll? ing on?a fact that the candidates ought to realize. Come right out and let us know who you are, gentlemen. Fall will soon roll around, and we would be happy to greet you. So come along. The fruit is not all killed yet in this sec? tion. The cherry trees are just beginning to bloom, which insures a supply of that frnit, we think. The Savannah was very high during the recent rains, lacking only a few feet of being as high as it was last Augns.. Mr. W. A. Holland has secured a nice lot of watermelon seed, especially for his own use. He knows this is election year? hence his foresight. Burke. Episcopal Convention. The State Convention of the Episcopal Church meets in Anderson Wednesday, May 2nd, and adjourns on Saturday. Any friends who will find it convenient to entertain the clergy or laymen, will please communicate with the Committee on Arrangements. It is supposed that about ono hundred will attend. T. F. Gadsden, E. M. Rucker, E. A. Bell, R. C. Webb, Committee. William llussoll Duckworth. About the year 1820 residod, in what is now Hopewell Township, Anderson County, S, C, a retired but well-to-do family over which presided Jacob and Anne Duckworth: They were already happy, because seven hale and beautiful children nestled around thoir feet. About this time, that tbeir happiness might know no bounds, another child was ad? ded, bearing the name of William Rus? sell. It was the pride of its lather, because it was the son of his old age and, t lie pet of all, because it was the baby. Time sped apace doing its inherent work. Now, the children are men and women, and the parents are furrowed deep with age. One by one the former passed over the thres? hold to seek other lands,' homes and for? tunes. The work given him to do, being well and nobly done, Jacob Duckworth slept in Hopewell grave yard, and in a few years afterward his wife was by his side. Thus, the old hearthstone was de? serted. The old homestead, by common consent, passed into the hands of young William. That this sacred spot should teem again with life and light and love, be wooed and won, about the year 1844, the charming Frances Breazeale. and made her the mistress of his home and fortune. The old, broken down altar was re-erected, re dedicated and revived. It emitted new light, gathered new charms and spake forth new sounds. Before this shrine, in a few years, bowed eleven children, con? fessing the Lord Jehovah. These, too, as their predecessors, soon began to pass over the old threshold until nine of the eleven seats were made vacant. The light grew loss brilliant. But three years since, when the good wife and mother passed into the spirit land, the light was turned down and gloom settled down over this historic home. On the 16th inst., the light was blown out. The old hearthstone was again deserted. William Russell Duck? worth, the last of the preceding genera? tion, and in the very place in which his father died a half century ago, breathed his last. He entered eternity with appa? rently little warning, living but forty-five minutes after be was taken ill. But we have just reasons to believe that it was not altogether unexpected to him. But a week or so proceeding his death he had said that he believed he would meet bis wife in heaven. Some legal matters had been carefully arranged but a few weeks prior to his death, and not known to have been done until afterwards. However this may be, Mr. Duckworth was a good man and met death calmly'and consciously. His fune? ral services were largely attended and con? ducted in Hopewell Church by the Pas? tor, Rev. M. Pack.
