Abbeville Medium: "Miss Corrie Mo Clung left Saturday for Anderson where she will remain visiting relatives until the middle of the summer. Miss Corrie is a general favorite, besides being one of the prettiest and most charming young ladies in our town, and all will miss her during her stay away." Chief Di wer is working right along to make a success of the Firemen's Tourna? ment, The Newberry Firemen hare no? tified him that they will attend with their engine. The Chief of the Athens, (Ga.,) Fire Department has also notified him that one and perhaps two of bis Compa? nies would attend* The enterprise displayed by the Green? ville News in'publishing the proceedings of the Episcopal Convention is worthy of commendation,. and shows what onr sprightly neighbor will do when occasion demands. The News is, we are glad to say, making new friends ever day, and it deserves a liberal support from the entire Piedmont section. Among the delegates who attended the Episcopal Convention in this city last week was Mr. Jas. T.. Bacon, editor of the Edgeneld Chronicle, Before leaving the city Mr Bacon honored our sanotnm with a visit, and it was a pleasure to us to meet him. More than thirty years ago he was . a'resident of Anderson, being connected with the old Johnson Female College at that time. Mr. George L. Sohrimp, of Hall Town? ship; lost a horse and mule one day last week. They were ifi a pasture, whioh is enclosed by a wire fence, and in playing both ran against the wire at the same time, killing the horse almost {immediate? ly and wounding the mule so badly that* It is doubtful if it can recover. Losing two good working animals at this time is a serious loss. ' The Newberry Hcrat? records a new method of breaking those interesting animals known as Texas ponies. A citi? zen ofthat comity was seen last week rid? ing one and with another tied to the tall of the one he was riding. He explained that it was the very best way to break them. Perhaps the information will be ?of value to some of oar citizens who have inves ted in Bach stook. List of letters remaining in the Post office for the week ending May 9, 1888: Mr. John C Dixon, (2.) Mrs. Dr. John A. Dobbins; B. S.

Brown, Mr. Jas. Miller, G. B. Smith. Mr. J. A. Campbell, of New York, (for? merly of Pendleton, S. C,) was married to Miss Annie M. Barnett, at the resi? dence of the bride's mother, in that city, on ?Wednesday, April 18 th, 1888. Imme? diately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Campbell left for Washington, D. C, on a bridal trip, returning, to New York on May 18th. The Intelligencer extend b -itscongratulations to the happy couple. . We accepted a kind invitation from Mr. 0. C. Cummlngs to visit his ice cream parlor Monday afternoon, and were treated to some most delicious ice cream and* strawberies. He has fitted up his room very handsomely, and it is bound to be a popular resort for the young gen? tlemen and ladies of the city. He will keep fruits through their season, and will serve ice cream every day after 12 o'clock. Givehim a call. There is a good deal of the sheep ele? ment in the human race. Whenever a 4own begins to boom thousands, blindly follow leaders to the place and invest their money. These people do not hunt up out-of-the-way places, where there is no. enterprise or life, but put money where they see others doing the same thing. If we would prosper we must ?begin the work ourselves and others will follow.' Now is the time to strike. A special excursion train will be run over the C. & G. R. B. from Prosperity to Greenville to-morrow (Friday), at the following low rate of fare for the round trip from points in this County: Honea Path, 75 cents; Beiton, Williamston and Pelzer, 50 cents. The train will leave Prosperity at 5.50 a. m., passing Honea. Path at 9.10, Belton 9.33, Williamston 9-57, and Pelzer at 10.03, arriving in Greenville-at 1L10. The excursionists will have more than .five' hours to spend in the Mountain City. The Southern Baptist Convention meets to-morrow (Friday) with the First Baptist Church, of Bichmond, Ya. An? derson County will be well represented in the Convention. Among the delegates . who have gone from this County are Bev. A. A. Marshall, Bev. H. M. Allen, Bev. H. B. Fant, J. L. Trlbble, Esq., and Judge W. F. Cox. Among those who have gone as visitors are Bev. B. M. Pack, John, Eakew, T. H. Burriss, J. Boyce Burriss, J. J. Baker and wife, W. E. Milford, Mrs. M. E. Vandiver and Miss Julia Burriss. Mr. James W. Erakine, of Broadaway Township, was in town last Monday with a basket of hall, whioh fell iu his vicinity three weeks ago to-day (Thursday.) Mr. Erekine was in the city Saturday and spoke of It, but as some seemed to doubt the statement, he brought a basket-full of it to show. This is a pretty big tale, bat it is true. The idea of gathering up a basket-full of hall eighteen days after it fell, is a little hard to understand in May. But the assertion-was made that a wagon load could be gathered up in the neigh? borhood. The Greenville News, of the 3rd inst., says: "JohnW. Sitton of Brushy Creek, Anderson County, has recently applied ?for a patent on an-invention of his, and has employed A. C. Wei born as his attor? ney in securing the letters. The inven? tion is an improvement on nuts and bolts, whereby the nuts once tightened on will never come off. Another style of the bolt is one which is operated with a spring, and can only be loosened after the spring has been pressed down to release the nut It is stated that this invention will be of great use in cases where a steady fastening is needed." Ellis Williams, a colored youth living near the city, came near passing out of existence last Monday evening. Ellis delights iu blowing a French harp, and a day or two ago, before going off to work, he laid his harp away carefully in a little ' box, which contained "Bough on Bats." The poison, of course, got into the cells of the harp. When Ellis came home Mon? day evening, the first thing he did was to get his harp and commence blowing it. He soon had a peculiar taste in his mouth, and in a short time was very sick. A physician was sent for promptly, aud soon had him out of danger. Our office was honored with a visit on Monday from Hon. Fred H. Hay Beiden, of Lalnai, Hawaiian Islands. Mr. Hay seiden, accompanied by his wife and chil? dren. Is spending a few weeks in our midst visiting the relatives of Mrs, Hay selden, who is the only daughter of the late Hon. W. If. Gibson, of the Hawaiian Islands. ? Mr. Hayselden is a member of the King's Privy Council of the Hawaiian Government, and is an affable, courteous gentleman. He expresses himself as being favorably impressed with our country. The visit of himself and family , is a source of much pleasure to their friends and relatives in our County. Mr. William Smith, who lives in Rock Mills Township, about ten miles from this place and near Roberts Church, has the sympathy of our people in the loss of his stables, corn, fodder, buggy and two moles last Saturday night, about 11 o'clock^ from fire, which waB evidently kindled by the hand of an incendiary. He had about forty bushels of corn and seven hundred bundles of fodder. This is a great loss to Mr. Smith, who is not able to lose so heavily without feeling the loss very heavily. Mr. Smith had retired and was asleep, when the fire was discovered by Mr. Binker, who lived near. He gave the alarm, but unfortunately it was too late to save the stables or any of their con? tents. As predicted last week, a commisssion was raised by the Episcopal Convention to consult with the negroes "to effect a complete separation into two organiza? tions under the Bishop," of the Whites and "our brother in black." This was said by the Convention to be an ?fter of com? promise, but the seceders.who had not entered the Convention on account of this question, could not see anything in it that would put the negro out of the Conven? tion, and hence refused to accept it and went home Thursday morning. There were fifteen parishes in the Convention, and fourteen, it is said, that would not enter on account of the negro. This ses? sion was a very pleasant and harmonious meeting, and business was pushed for? ward. On Thursday afternoon the Con? vention adjourned to meet next year at Alken. Our citizens were very much pleased with the delegates to the Conven? tion, who made a favorable impression while among us. Since the Convention adjourned, St. Marks (colored Episcopal) church in Charleston, has been considera? bly exercised over the action of the Con? vention, and declare they will not be leg? islated out of their rights. They held a meeting last Monday night for the pur? pose of considering the resolutions passed by the Convention. Anderson County's Pensioners, . The News and Courier of Tuesday "pub? lishes the list of -the pensioners of the State, as far as it has been made up. The list contains 1,085 names, the great majority of which are the widows of Confederate soldiers. Many applications have been re? jected, and there are more yet to be exam? ined.

We made a combination pleasure and business trip to the city of Greenville last Friday, and remained there until Monday morning. We do not remember to have ever had a more pleasant trip. - Friday was set apart for the annual pic nie given by the students of Furman Uni? versity, and as we had received several invitations to attend, of course we availed ourself of the opportunity to do so. The pic nie was held on the beautiful campus of the University, and when, we arrived there we received a very warm reception from the Anderson students, who did everything possible to make us enjoy the day. The young ladies of the Greenville Female College had been given a holiday, and they honored the occasion with their presence, which, of course, added much to the pleasures of the day. With the ex? ception of dancing, the day was spent as pio nicers usually do, and if any one fail? ed to have a pleasant time, it was his or her fault. A sumptuous dinner was spread about 2 p. m. in the grove. The students were very attentive to their guests throughout the day. Late iu the afternoon we were courte? ously shown through the University building by our young friend, Mr. R. H. Burriss, a student from this County. The building is very conveniently arranged, the rooms are commodions and the various departments well equipped. The Univer? sity has a larger number of students on its roll now than at any time since the war. It is a grand old institution, and should be the pride of every Baptist in the State. It had been two years since our last visit to the "Mountain City," and in that short time we could see that she has made many steps forward. Numerous new houses are being built, and improvements are being made in almost every portion of the city. We met and conversed with many of her leading citizens, all of whom are wide awake and full of energy. No stranger can go there and view their many local enterprises without being favorably im? pressed with the place. Greenville is cer? tainly blessed with a bright future, and her prosperity is due largely to the efforts and energy of her citizens, who, when? ever any enterprise is started, put their hands in their pockets and push it to suc? cess. Among the recent enterprises es? tablished there is a pants factory, which is under the management of Mr. Thos. W. Davis. It was our pleasure to visit this establishment. At present about twenty five operatives, mostly females, are em? ployed in the factory, and about two hun? dred pairs of pants are turned out daily. The company is selling its goods rapidly, and contemplate doubling the capacity of the factory in a short time. There are a number of other small industries in contemplation, all of which, when com? pleted, will increase Greenville's wealth and population. Her new railroad across the mountains is progressing rapidly, and within sixty days it is expected to have ten miles of track completed. Congress has appropriated 3100,000 for the erection of a public building, and work on it will begin at an early day. The city will, in a short time, be lighted by the electric light. Property is advancing in value every day, and strangers are coming there and investing in it. Greenville is a live place, and no one can go there and come away without having a pleasant time. We could easily write two or three col? umns about our trip, but space forbids* We would like to speak of her Churches, (three of which we attended at different hours on Sunday), and of many other places we visited ; also of the many cour? tesies and kindness shown us during our stay in the city. We cannot close this article without complimenting Greenville's charming young ladies and clever young men, many of whom it was our pleasure to meet. They are so sociable, congenial and affable, a stranger soon feols at ease in their presence. No town or city in the State has more pretty girls. To. the Members of Hopewell Church. ! There will be no services at the next regular meeting on Saturday, but Brother J. S. Murray will preach for you on Sun j day, at 11 o'clock a. m. Please take no [ tice and govern yourselves accordingly. Your affectionate Pastor, B. M. Pack. A Card of Thanks. Messrs. Editors: On behalf of the con? gregation of Grace Church, I would re? turn our thanks to the citizens of Ander? son for their generous hospitality to the members of the Episcopal Convention. T-HOMAb F. Gadsden. Resolution of Thanks. Resolved, That we deeply appreciate the kindly reception and boundless hospitali? ty extended to us by the citizens of An? derson, and we beg to thank them most heartily. Abthtjr B. Flagg, Chairman. R. S. Despobtes, Secretary, Ncal's creek Items. The school at this place has vacated. At this writing the rain is falling nicely. Planting is nearly all done, and the far? mers working in the corn or cotton. The young folks are expecting pleasant times at the different picnics this month. May their expectations be realized to the fullest extent. Judging from the acreage that has been planted in watermelons, the people are expecting this section to be thoroughly canvassed by candidates. Mr. W* H. Haynie, formerly a teacher of this county, but now of Oak Bower, Ga., was over last week on a short visit. . Bev. A. A. Marshall preached a most able and instructive sermon at Neal's Creek last Saturday; and Rev. B. M. Pack preach? ed a most excellent sermon on the day following. The church has adopted the plan of assesssng its members to defray all chnrch expenses, a plan which no one can reasonably object to. * Belton Items, j Mr. J. H. Wren, of Due West, has been ! awarded the contract for building the I Baptist Church at this place. Mr. Wren proposes putting a large force of hands at work soon, and hopes to have tho house ready for occupancy by August 1st. We were pleased to see in town last week the Hon. Fred Hayselden and family,' of the Sandwich Islands. Mrs. Hayselden is the only daughter of the Hon. Walter M. Gibson, late Prime Min? ister of the Sandwich Islands. Mr. Hav selden is a most interesting conversation? alist, a refined and intelligent gentleman. It was the pleasure of your correspon? dent to attend on Monday night the clos? ing exercises of the colored school, taught by Mr. M. H. Gassaway. The exhibition throughout was a most creditable one, and reflects great credit as to the efficiency and faithfulness of the work done by the teacher. During the past week Messrs. Prince, McGowan and Childs, candidates for Solicitor, have been canvassing the town and County in search of votes. The con? test promises tobe very interesting and exciting. * Denver Items. Farmers are busy with their crops just now, and are anxiously looking for rain. No rain has fallen here since the hail Btorm of 19th ult., and fears are expressed about a stand of cotton being obtained unless rain falls soon. All crops are badly in need of rain. Mr. A. B. Bowden bad the misfortune to lose a valuable mule last week. Mr. S. L. Eakew also had a young colt to die recently. Mr. J. D. McElroy la train., j his Per cheron colt to single harness. Jimmie is a thorough loyer of fine horses and knows how to handle them. Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Hayselden and children from the Sandwich Islands are visiting relatives near here, Mrs. Hay? selden will be remembered by a host of friends as Miss Lucy Gibson, daughter of Walter M. Gibson, who was for a number of years Prime Minister to King Kalakua. Denver is putting on "city style," inas? much as English sparrows have made their appearance and ? daily newspaper is taken. The many friends of Mr. T. C. McDowell gladly welcome him back to his old posi? tion of Section Master. Jay. Flat Bock Items. Bev. B. Hays has just finished palling in his yard. Farmers are through working their corn for the first time, and are now working their cotton. Married, on Sunday, April 15, 1888, at the residence of the bride's father, Col. J. C, Haynie, by Rev. Hugh McLees, Mr. Thom? as McClain, of Bowersville, Ga., and Miss Lou Haynie, of this County. The farmers of this community have pe? titioned Major W. W. Starr for a Flag Station, which we hope will be granted, as it would be a great convenience. Last Sunday a week ago Rev. Hugh McLees preached a very impressive sermon at this place to a large congregation. His subject was fulfillment of prophecy, from which he expects to preach a series of ser? mons. A certain gentleman in this community swapped horses with a North Carolina drover some months ago for a fine mare, which the drover Said would bring a fine mule colt the first of May. Recently the gentleman was called to the stable to see the fine mule colt. He peeped through a crack of the stable and said what a big mule colt, but the second look told a differ? ent tale. Oh, said he, it is a horse colt. However, he is satisfied, and not seriously damaged. Last Wednesday Mr. George Shrimp had the misfortune to lose a fine horse. The horse was out grazing and became fright? ened and ran against a wire fence, which cut his leg and shoulder from his body and bled to death. One of his mules was cut very br lly, but Mr. Shrimp thinks it will recover. While in conversation with a certain gentleman of this County recently, he spoke of the clothes ho was wearing. He said he wanted a suit of clothes, and asked his wife how he would get them.' She said he would have to buy them, but he said he did not have the money, and did not want to buy on a .credit, therefore would wait awhile. Shortly afterwards he was look? ing for some papers which he wanted, and while looking in an old pocket-book which he had carried through the war and had not used in five or six years, to his sur? prise he found a five dollar bill. He now wears a new suit. One day last week it was our pleasure to spend a few honrs with Mr. J. R. Arm? strong. We were received by him with the utmost courtesy and kindness. He spared no pains to make our stay pleasant. As we were taking our leave he iuvited us to see his garden, which is very fine. Mr, Armstrong is the model gardener in this I County. Flat.

After the business had been transacted, the Club was honored by a speech from Mr. J. H. McCalla. Charlie Boweu, a little boy about twelve years old, was bitten by a mad dog last week. He was in the field when he saw the dog coming, and tried to make his escape into a peach tree, but not being out of reach the dog bit him on the leg. Capers Allen, who was sent to the Penitentiary for life, for the murder of Clayton Allen, was pardoned by Governor Richardson last week. Prof. Shields has gotten up a writing school here he; well understands his business, and no doubt will make it a Buccess. Many of the young men will take lessons. Mr. Henry Long has moved his saw mill near town, and(is now ready for bus iness. Mr. Harmon, the editor of the McCor mick News, spent last Saturday and Sun? day in our town. From all accounts he did not confine himself to the newspaper business. We are glad to see snob visi? tors in our town. Dr. 0. R. Horton is gradually improv? ing, and we hope soon to see him up again. Mr. James M. Baker has cut throe hun? dred stock for the saw mill. He will have enough sawed to build three new stores this summer. In the last issue of the Press and Banner, "Troop," the Lowndesville correspondent of that paper, speaks rather sneeringly of the boys' pets. He says they are crazy about them, and that almost every one has a rat or crow, or some other animal to fondle and pet. Oh ! ? that is all right, they are only practicing for the sweet-by and-by. Wonder if "Troup" don't want some baked possum, fricased cow-cow? Eyes. Holland's Store Items. This section was visited by a refreshing rain on last Saturday morning, and it was v^ry badly needed. Cotton generally has come up nicely, and is being worked. Corn is looking well. Splendid stand. Wheat and oats, suffered somewhat from the dry weather, but is recovering. Wheat is in full head, and we think will be some earlier than usual. Our farmers are well up with thoir work, and will be able to keep abreast with their crops if Providence favors. * Chickens are coining In of a fryable size, causing the Methodist preacher to rejoice. Gardens are rather backward. Cut worms and rabbits are having their share. Rev. M. L. Carswell, who resided in this County awhile, but for the last eight years in Texas, has returned, and is now located at Hartwell, Ga. He has been called to the pastorate of Sardis Church, just across the Savannah, and preached his first sermon last Saturday. He is a young man of fine address, affable and unassuming, and withal a fine preacher. Rev. H. M. Allen preached an excellent sermon at Cross Roads last Sabbath, after which Messrs. A. A. Dean and John if. Hall were ordained Deacons. The South? ern Baptist Convention being close at hand, Cross Roads and Mountain Creek, Mr. Allen's two churches, voluntarily contributed a sufficient amount to defray his expenses to Richmond, Va., where the Convention is to be held. Such an act always speaks for itself, showing what kind of material these churches are composed of, and the esteem in which they hold their pastor, The Rev. Dr. Latham, of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, who was to have preached at Gcnerostee on last Saturday and Sunday, we learn was stricken with pneumonia on his arrival in the neighborhood, thereby necessarily disappointing his large number of friends who had set their hearts on hearing him preach. We trust that be will soon, recover and be restored to his family in health. Burke. Democratic Club Meetings.
