Bohannan's stables, located just beyond the city limits on South Main Street, were consumed. It was with trouble his mule was saved. The stable and contents, ex? cept the mule, were lost. This is another case of incendiarism. Four stables have been burnt or set on fire in the last three months. - In each Instance (the one who set the fire la guilty of arson, a-'hanging crime, and will certainly be so punished if ever caught. LMt Saturday Frank Pool was up be? fore Trial Justice Hand, at Williamston, charged with assault and battery on Duff Rhodes. Thfc, it will be remembered; was the fight on the pnblio road near Piercetown, the other Saturday. C. Wardlaw, Esq., went over as the attorney for the prosecution. After they all arriv? ed, through the intervention of mutual friends, and under the advice of the pros? ecuting attorney, it was settled satisfacto? ry to both sides, and all went away glad that-it was ended. The Gainesville (Ga.) Eagle, of the 13th inst., says: "Rev. A. A.

Thursday morning at 1 o'clock, aged about 47 years. Mrs. Rogers was afflicted with cancer of the breast for several years, and her death was caused by that disease. She was a lady of many noble qualities of both mind and heart, and her death has brought sorrow to a wide circle of friends. She was a devoted member of the Methodist Church. Her remains were interred in the Williamston Cemetery Thursday afternoon, Rev. S. Lander and the Rev. Mr. Wroten con? ducting the funeral services. Last Monday the preliminary hearing in the case of the State vs. J. Monroe Keller, for assault and battery with intent to kill, on Alex Austin, was held before Trial Justice Wardlaw. Also a cross indictment against Alex..Austin, charged with same offense was held at' same time. Austin was represented by Mr. Nix, of Greenville, and Kelley by Murray, Breazeale & Murray.r After taking the evidence and hearing argu? ment of counsel, the Trial Justice dis? missed the cases on the ground that the evidence in neither case was strong enough to demand further investigation. The Florence (S. C.) Times, of last week says: "Anderson is one of the most en? terprising towns in the up country, and is constantly doing something to give her prominence abroad, to which she is justly entitled, and that will make her name known far- and wide. June 12,13, 14 is the time set for a big celebration there to which everybody is invited. On those days the 'citizen's gala week, the firemen's tournament, and the band con? test' will be held, to which handsome invitations are issued, and we acknowl? edge the receipt of one. Many from these parts will no donbt attend the celebra j^n'" >l ' Last Tuesday morning about one o'clock T the fire alarm was given. The fire de? partment responded promptly to find Mr. W. A. Chapman's stable on fire. The wind was blowing considerably, and It was with some difficulty the fire'was con? trolled. The stable together with the contents were consumed in the flames. It was unquestionably the work of incendia? rism. This is the third stable that has been set on fire in this immediate vicini? ty?Mrs. Reese's, Mr. Seel's and now Mr. Chapman's. Also, we might mention Mr. VanWyck's store, which is in the same neighborhood. This is the work of a fiend, who deserves severe punishment. Let our policemen keep a sharp lookoutjand we may catch him next time. We desire to call the attention of the people of Anderson and surrounding country to the fact that there is no occasion to send off for any thing needed when we have such well appointed establishments In the city from which they can person? ally make their own selections. These establishments are owned and conducted by our neighbors, and the proprietors have the right to expect that those wish? ing to purchase will at least make an in? spection of their goods. Every dollar sent to Denning, O'Neil or any Northern dealer is just that much business taken from home, and every dollar spent here will help to build up the place. We have first-class business houses right hero, and that 'iove of a bonnet," or "charming dress," or "suit of clothes," or "daisy tie" can be procured here just as well as anywhere else. Patronize home enter? prises, for in building them up you build up the community in which your bus bands, sons and perhaps sweethearts are striving to earn for you the comforts of a happy home.

Eyes, i ' A Woman's Discovery. "Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by a lady in the county. Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were under-, mined and death seemed imminent For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump? tion and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miracuously cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus write W. C. Hamrick & Co., of Shelby, N. C?Get a free trial bottle at Hill Bros. Drug Store. 2 The Verdict Unanimous. W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind., tes? tifies : "I can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of 10 years' standing." Abraham Hare, druggist,. Belleville, Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medicine I have ever handled in my 20 years' experi? ence, is Electric Bitters." Thousand of others have added their testimony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bit? ters do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kid? neys or Blood. Only a half dollar at Hill Bros.

Roddy Martin, deceased, hereby give notice that they will, on the 20th day of April, 1888, apply to the Judge of Probate for Anderson County for a Final Settlement of said Estate, and a discharge from their office as Administra? tors. LOU. T. MARTIN, GEO. M. McDAVID, Administrators. March 15,1888 86 5 Wo or Coffin. Atlanta, Ga., April 12.?Dr. Pridgeon, who conducted his own obse? quies near Athens last Sunday, has had trouble with his family. After the ser? mon was all over he dressed to carry his coffin home with him aud put it away until such time as it should be required. His wife, who has quietly borne all of his foolish whims up to this time, and who bad even occupied a seat of honor near the speaker, where the vast assembly could gaze upon her with sad yet comic looks as the speaker sought to comfort her and condole with her on the loss of her husband, now asserted her authority and declared that the coffin ?hould not enter her house until there was some cause for its presence. She was so firm that he permitted her to have her way, and it was carried to a neighbor's house and permission to leave it there was ob? tained after considerable persuasion. That night the preacher pondered over the matter until he could not rest. He got up, dressed himself and waited for day. With the rays of dawn he went after the coffin, and bringing it to his home, has kept it there against all oppo? sition. His wife Bays ehe will not live in the house with the coffin, and things point to a divorce between the evangelist and his spouse. ? On the 5th of April the little daugh? ter of A. 0. Swift, Deputy Postmaster at Nebraska City, Neb., was pronounced dead from typhoid pneumonia, aud bad all the appearances of death. The mother could not be persuaded to leave the little one. About 3 o'clock the next morning her screamB of joy awoke the whole neighborhood, and several persons enter? ed to find the child sitting on its mother's lap, refreshed and apparently well. It has improved steadily since then, and is now doing excellently. The mother says that she was weeping over the inanimate form and was kissing the cold lips in an agony of grief, when suddenly the little one opened its eyes and the next instant threw its arms about her neck. 3L.A.W CARD.
