Mr. Qaillard, holds the responsibly position qf par agent of the S. C. R. R., and is'held in high esteem by the Company. Last Saturday was one of the biggest business days Anderson has ever had. The receipts of cotton for the day reached five hundred and thirty-five bales. This is ninety bales more than was every; be? fore received in Anderson in one day. The time is rapidly passing away when the debtors should be making themselves solid with their creditors. Another year is pretty apt to roll around, also the same demand for credit. Prompt payments make the road easy for all, and keeps down a powerful sight of bard feeling. We are indebted to Latham, Alexander & Co., of New York, for a copy of their book on cotton movement and fluctua? tions for the past year. The book has j ust been published, and estimates that the crop of the United States for 1887-88' will amount to 6,550,000 bales, as against 6,505, 000 bales for 1886-87. Mrs* Mary J. Skelton, the beloved wife of Mr. D. A. Skelton, died at her home in this County on Monday afternoon of ty? phoid fever, aged about 32 years. In her death the neighborhood in which she re? sided has lost one of its best women. She was an exemplary Christian, and those who knew her best loved her most.

Candler upon theatres, to which Miss Abbott, the noted actress, replied. Mr. Campbell, who is an expert stenographer, reported the sermon for the American. Wo are requested by the Master to call attention to a mintake in the description of the land in the case of John E. Peoples vs. J. K. Griffin, which occurred through in? advertence. The following is a true dis cription: Land situate in Belton Town? ship, on Cubbard Creek, adjoining lands of G. W. McGee & Son, Mrs. E. B. Breazeale, Ira C. Williams and others. List of letters remaining in the Post office for the week ending October 26th : Ben Blagman, B. B. Barnett, Andy B. Cherry, col., Miss Fannie Cox, Miss Julia Cuming, Miss Essie Foster, Wm. F. Gam brell, Miss Minnie Kay, W. R. Moore, John Pelote, H. T. Robbins, Miss Maggie Sherard, Mary Simpson, R. C. Thompson, Henry Vandiver (2), Milton Watson, Sam Walker. The Greenville News, of last Sunday, says: "Robt. Dilworth, who has been conducting a livery stable on Washington street near Main, has sold the property to J. E. Peoples, of Anderson. Mr. Peoples intends carrying on a feed, sale and livery stable, and will commence business in a few days." Mr. G. W. Howell has gone over to Greenville, and will conduct the business for Mr. Peoples. Mr. John Clinkscales, tbe venerable father of the senior proprietor of the In? telligencer, is spending a few days in the city. Mr. Clinkscales is now one of Anderson County's oldest citizens, and, despite his age, gets about with as much ease as many men of fifty years of age. He doesn't use tobacco or alcoholic stim? ulants in any form, which is no doubt the sequel of his health and activity. The attention of housekeepers, and all others in need of house-furnishing goods, is directed to the new advertisement of John E. Peoples & Co. In addition to their large stock of stoves and tinware, they carry an immense stock of crockery, silver-plated ware, lamps, etc., which they offer at the very lowest prices. When you visit the city, be sure to give these gentlemen a call. It will pay you. Mr. Francis Marion Kay, an aged and highly respected citizen of this County, died at his home in Martin Township last "Friday, after a long illness, aged 75 years. Mr. Kay was an exemplary member of the Methodist Church, and was a good man in every sense of the word. He was well known throughout the lower sec? tion of the County, and bis death is deep? ly regretted by his friends. His remains -'.were interred in the graveyard at Ebe nezer Church on last Saturday, [Rev. W. A. Hodges conducting tbe funeral ser? vices. Our readers should not overlook the new advertisement of Mr. A. B. Towers, which appears elsewhere. Mr. Towers's stock of goods for the fall and winter trade is complete, and all he asks is for the trading public to call and examine the same, as he is satisfied that both his goods and prices will suit everybody. He sells nothing but reliable goods. He is agent for the celebrated Charlottesville cassi meres and Bay State shoes, which are too well known to need any commendation from us. He also has a word to say to those indebted to him. . Mrs. Nancy Bowie, relict of the late Martin A. Bowie, died at her home in this city last Friday evening, at 7 o'clock. Mrs. Bowie had been in feeble health for some time, but was only confined to her bed about two weeks. She was about 71 years of age, and since her childhood had been a consistent member of the Metho? dist Church. She was held in high es? teem by her friends and acquaintances, who feel that by her death they have lost a true friend. Her remaius were laid to rest in the Presbyterian cemetery last Sunday morning, Rev. W. S. Wightrnan conducting the funeral services. The Walhalla Courier, of last week, says: ??While in Anderson last week we saw a curiosity in the way of a hog. Charles Caldwell, colored, has a Jersey sow, we are satisfied, will weigh over 800 pounds. She had three pigs four weeks old, which he had contracted off at $7.50 each, and said he had a standing offer of $50 cash for the sow. She once farrowed 17 pigs, but is now kept too fat. He had two barrows from her 11 months old the 8th of this month, which now will net over 500 pounds each. They were shoats when we were in Anderson last spring. An open sow of the same litter will weigh about 500 pounds gross. They are a curiosity in the hog line, as showing what can be done by attention. The owner told us it took very little to feed them. They are of the red Jersey variety." The new postal regulations recently prepared at the Postoffice Department went into effect on September 15, and the Postmasters have been advised by tbe Postoffice Department that in accordance with the ruling of tbe Assistant Attorney General for that department, packages of fourth-class matter (such as samples and packages of merchandise) must not con? tain hereafter any writing or printing on the face or surface exoept the name and address of the sender, preceded by tbe word "from," and the number and names of the articles enclosed. Otherwise tbe entire package will be subjected to postage at letter rates. Heretofore the ruling of tbe Department has been to the effect that any printed matter not having the charac? ter of personal correspondence might be attached to such matter. Rev. A. Coke Smith's presence in An. derson last Sunday was a source of much pleasure to all those who listened to his able and impressive sermons. The ser? vices of the morning were held in the new Methodist Church, and were the first that have been held there. The Church had been provided with chairs and a fow benches, sufficient to seat about 400 people, and when the services began every seat was filled. Prof. Smith took for his text the 5th verse of the 4th Psalm: "Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put yoqr trust in the Lord." His subject was, sac? rifices and the divine side and human side of religion. He preached for ono hour and ten minutes, but his sermon was so intensely interesting, it did not seem more than thirty minutes long. It was brim full of impressive thoughts, and every one present must have been deeply impressed. At the conclusion of the sermon, Prof. Smith stated that he had been informed by the Building Comm ittee that one thousand dollars more was needed to pay off the in? debtedness and complete the Church building, and that he proposed to raise that amount at once. In a few minutes he had fifty dollars more than the amount asked for subscribed, the subscriptions ranging from one dollar to one hundred and fifty dollars. At night Prof. Smith preached in the Presbyterian Church, that Church having been tendered the Metho? dists for their use. His subject was "Christian confidence," and it was a fine effort. Prof. Smith is certainly one of the ablest ministers of his Church in the State, and he will always receive a cordial welcome when he visits Anderson. Tbe death of Robert D- Maxwell, sec? ond son of Mr. D. S. Maxwell, which oc? curred on Monday night, at 11 o'clock, at his home in this city, although not unex? pected, for he had been very ill with fever for five weeks, has cast a gloom over the whole city. Robert was about 17 years of age, and had the promise of a bright fu? ture before him. He was truly a model boy, and had many noble virtues. He was possessed of a gentle, loving disposi? tion, and was exceedingly polite and cour? teous, not only to his seniors, but to his associates and playmates. His manners were not affected, but free, easy and natu? ral, and it always was a pleasure to him to contribute to the happiness and com? fort of those around him. He was strictly temperate and upright, and had avoided all the bad habits that boys of his age fre? quently fall into. Everybody in Ander? son knew Robert, and wo doubt if there has occurred here in years a death that is more deoply regretted. He was a favorite with everybody. He had been for two years a consistent member of tbe Presby? terian Church. His death is a sad afflic? tion to his parents, but they should con? sole themselves with the thought that their boy has gone to a brighter world. On Wednesday morning his remains were laid under the sod in the Presbyterian cemetery, and in tbe absence of the pastor, Dr. Frierson, Rev. A. A. Marshall, of the Baptist Church, conducted the funeral services. Robert's face will no more be soon upon our streets, but his memory will long be cherished by his numerous friends.

Wil? son, has opened out a nicely arranged confectionary. Wo wish him much suc? cess. The sick of our town are all convales? cing. Prof. J. W. Pickle is moving steadily forward with his school. Mr. Pickle is an accomplished, competent teacher. We bespeak for him a liberal patronage. The business of our town is very good indeed. Our merchants aro very much encouraged both with sales and collec? tions. Messrs. A. C. Latimer and L. L. Vaughn, who have been off for two mouths selling the Taylor, Cox Steam Fire Extinguisher, returned Saturday last. They wore quite successful. Messrs. Gassett and Robert Dugau, jr., have been added tq the clerical force of our town. The Taylor & Cox fire extinguisher has gained another victory. This time the gin house of Mr. J. T. Chapman, of Greenville County, was ablaze with fire before steam was applied. The fire was at once extinguished. Mr, Chapman Bays he would not take ten times its cost and be without it. The death of Mrs. Sarah Agnew, refer? ence to which has already been made in your columns, was a very sad occurrence. The loss to not only the immediate family, but to tho town, is an irreparable one. She was a noted example of true and gen? uine piety. She was a constant compan? ion of the sick, distressed and despondent, and soothed and prayed for as no one else could do. All classes and conditions of humanity in and around Beltou will sorely miss her. It may truly be said of her: "Well done thou good and faithful servant." G. Important Votice to Fostmabtors.
