The Lowndesville correspondent' of the . Abbeville Prew and Banner says: "A De? pot is now being built at Barnes, and Mr. M. G. Watson is building a store there. With a Depot, two stores and poetofflcp, will no doubt soon be knocking at the door of the sisterhood of incorporated towns for admission." p?? G.

The Farmers' and Merchants' Bank has secured the amount of capital ($50,000) which it is proposed to begin work on, and the books have been closed. In an-' other column appears an advertisement calling af&eeting of the stockholders on i Wednesday, March 6th, for the purpose of organ! ??? and electing officers. An exchange remarks: "Yon may hive the stars in a nail keg, hang the ocean on a rail fence to dry, put the sky to soak in a gourd and- unbuckle the belly band of eternity and let the sun and moon out, but don't think yon can escape the place that lies on the other side of purj^tory if you don't pay for your-pa ? Last Friday night, about 8 o'clock, the firemen were called out in response to an alarm caused by the burning of a plank kim of Messrs. Barton & Townsend, on the Blue Ridge Yard, but they could do nothing, as the fire had gained too much headway before it was discovered. The loss amounts to about $50.00 Luit Thursday this section was visited by the heaviest snow storm that has fallen In .years. It commenced to fall about 11 o'clock, and continued to fall for about .twelve hours.; It measured on an aver-' age about eight inches deep. The storm seems to. have been general, and extended as far SOutn as Charleston, which is some? thing unusual. : Correspondents will please sign their own names to articles sent in for publica? tion, or' write them on detached sheets, because we positively cannot publish any article without having somewhere to fix responsibility far the statement contained therein;; Send in your name along with every article- yon write, and your^feellngs .will not be hurt nor your temple ruffled by looking in vain for their appearance.^ . - , . ^Augusta Okrojiicle: "The young girl in Anderson County, who,'by her own efforts/made two bales of cotton last Fall, in order to pay- for bar schooling, is worth her weight in gold.'

Sc : Th& Imperial Egg Food, an advertise? ment of which appears in our columns to? day, was tho first article of its character ever put on the. market. Its immediate and unqualified success is said to have induced a host of cheap imitations. The Imperial is prepared on purely scientific and physological principles, and furnish? es the chemicals necessary to produce an egg. As it costs less than a cent a week for each fowl; it pays to use Imperial Egg Food.. Sold by Hill Bros. Tho Poly hymn ian Literary Society of the Patrick Military Institute will give a public debate in their Hall, in the Insti? tute building, on to-morrow.: (Friday) evening, at 8 o'clock sharp. Rev. A. A. Marshall will also deliver an address dur? ing the evening. A small admission fee of 25 cents will he charged for gentlemen, and 10 cents for ladles. The proceeds will be used in furnishing the Hall. We be? speak for the Society a liberal patronage. The Greenville News, of last Thursday, contained the following. "Michael Nice? ly, an aged and highly respected citizen' of this city, died at his residence on Cox street about five o'clock: yesterday after? noon. The deceased was weU known among railroad-men, having served for a long time as superintendent of the C. & G. Railroad. He was a member of the Methodist Church South, and leaves a wife'-and-several grown children." Mr. Nicely was, for several years, a citizen of Anderson, and has many friends here who deeply sympathize with the family in their bereavement.

He has just received three car loads of horses and mules from Kentucky, which he will sell at auction on next Monday (Salesday). He guarantees the stock tobe sound. This is a chance for everybody to get a good.horse or mule at your own price. The sale will positively take place, and will no doubt attract a large crowd of pur? chasers, Remember, next Monday is the day. Mr. Fowler also has a number of buggies and wagons, which he is offering at bottom prices. Be sore to give him a call if you need, either. .The Greenville* News, of last Sunday, says: "Walker W. Russell, of Anderson County, the well-known Greenbacker-In dependent-Republican politician, has been appointed a member of the staff of Gover? nor Beaver, of Pennsylvania, and invited to take a part in the inauguration ceremo? nies of President-elect Harrison. Mr. Russell's rank is that of General, which, in view of the fact that his name has here? tofore been unadorned with any orna? mental title, is a rather rapid and lofty promotion* Mr. Russell expects to ac? cept the invitation, and will go on to Washington for the inauguration on the 4th of March." Mr. E. Berry Lewis died at Pelzer on last Saturday, after a brief illness, aged 78 years. Mr. Lewis was born and reared in Anderson County, and has resided here all of his life. He was a plain, upright, hon? est man, and was highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends. He was a consist? ent member of the Midway Presbyterian Church, and his remains were .brought to that Church and interred in the adjoining graveyard on Sunday afternoon, Rev. Dr. Friers on conducting the funeral ser? vices. Mr. Lewis was twice married. Two sons and two daughters, all of whom are grown, and who reside in Texas, sur? vive him by the first marriage, and a wife and four children by the second marriage. Miss Carrie M. Waller died in this city, at the residence of her sister, Mrs. Rosa Webb, last Monday morning at 9 o'clock. She was born in Charleston, S. C, but for many years bad resided in Anderson. To know her was to love her, and the longer one knew her the more she was loved. Few maiden ladies ever enjoyed the blessing of being so universally loved. She was so meek and gentle, full of sym? pathy and tender compassion for every one in trouble. A devoted and exemplary member of Grace (Episcopal) Church, and to sum it all up in a few words, she was one of the best women who ever lived. Her remains were laid to rest in the Pres? byterian cemetery Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock, after funeral services conducted by Rev. T. F. Gadsden. A correspondent of the Greenville News, under date of the 21st inst., gives the following acccount of a marriage at Pendleton: "AH Pendleton turned out last, evening to witness the marriage, at the Presbyterian Church, of Miss Lizzie 3. Hunter to ID. L. C. Terrio. The bride is a daughter of our prominent townsman and merohant, James H. Hunter, Sr. The groom is a popular salesman of the firm of J. Hi Hunter & Sons, of this place. At the sound of the wedding march, artisti? cally executed by Mrs. A. M. Finkind, T. M. and J. G. Jlnkens, acting as ushers, entered the church followed by Miss Essie Steal, of Greenville, and Dr. W. W.. Wat kins,, attendants. Then the contracting parties, A half circle was formed at the altar, which was prettily decorated. The Rev. J..B. Adger, D. D- officiated, and as usual, his ceremony was beautiful and very" impressive. The bridal party ac? companied by relatives aud a few special friends returned to the residence of J. H. Hunter, Sr., where a delightful reception was held." A Brilliant Wedding. Of all the marriages that have been cel? ebrated in the Baptist Church in the recent past, few have, equalled and none have surpased in . beauty of decorations, and in elegance of costumes worn by the fair bride and her attendants, as on the occasion of the marriage of Lieut. John M. Patrick, and Miss Carrie McCully, which event was celebrated on Wednes? day nighty the 20th inst. The hand of art had transformed the rear of the pulpit into a star spangled sky, and in front of this, in crescent shape, the attendants, eleven couples, were arranged, the gentle? men forming the background with the ladies just in front. Iq the center of this crescent, facing the audience, the bridal coup'e stood, the ministers, Rev. A. A. Marshall and K. G. Patrick, standing in front of Bud a little to one side, while to the right and left stood the two little fiowe? girls with their attendants. Ar? ranged as above described, this bridal party presented as fair a scene as man conld wish to behold. It waa a little after half-past eight, the hour fixed for the ceremony, when the bridal party reached the Church, and after some preliminary arrangements pro? ceeded up the aisles of the densely packed Church, keeping time to the sweet strains of the ''wedding march," rendered by 'Mrs. McSmith on the organ, accompanied by the Messrs. Trowbridgeij'n the cornets. Preceded1 by the ushers, Messrs. W. R. Dilliugham, W. E. McGee, G. W. Evans, R S. McCully and J. W. Bruce, the'party entered in couples, two ladies going in at one door and the gentlemen with whom they were to stand entering the other door at- the same time, and, meeting on the broad platform, took their respective posi? tions. The following are the names of the attendants, with the costumes of the ladies, each groomsman being in* full evening dress : i ? T. El Horton, of Greenville, with Miss Lucia Patrick, the beautiful sister of the groom,-attired in a lovely costume of white cloth, embroidered in silver. W. H.

The little flower girls, Misses Annie Patrick and Margie Fret well, were In pure white and were attended respectively by Masters Joe McCully aud Ben. Patrick. The ceremony as performed by Rev. A. A. Marshall, assisted by the groom's brother, Rev. R. G. Patrick, of Yorkville, was exceedingly solemn. After the ceremony the bridal party and a large number of invited guests repaired to the residence of Capt. McCully, the bride's father, where the evening was very pleasantly passed. At eleven o'clock a a splendid-supper was served, after which the guests began to disperse. The followingfrom the Greenville Daily News, is so well put and so aptly expresses our own sentiments, that we copy it: "The groom, Lieutenant Patrick, is well known in Greenville, and has a State reputation as one of the most skilled tacti? cians and ono-of the ablest commanding officers connected with the State militia. He is assistant to his father in the con? duct of the Patrick -Military Institute, which position he has filled with conspic? uous ability since the Institute was re? moved to Anderson as when it was in Greenville. A young man of manly char? acter, of commanding ability and of sterling attainments,' he has great num? bers of friends here and all over the State. The bride is a young lady of great beauty, rare accomplishments and wide personal popularity, possessed of those numerous charms of person and manner that make admirers of all who meet her. She is the only daughter of Captain and Mrs. N. A. McCully and has long been a favorite in Anderson society." - " ? Honea Path Items. ? Mr. W. R. Earle made a good talk at. prayer meeting last Wednesday night. It is encouraging to see our young ^people taking an active part in the Lord'B work. ? Maj. T. F. Anderson, of Williamston, was in town last week. The Major is one of Williamston's best citizens. We are glad to note the return of Miss Lillian McGee from Greenville. Messrs. Jack Reeves, of North Carolina, and W. F. Poe, of Greenville, were among the guests at the hotel last week. A ' great many people from Laurens County aud from near Due West and Hodges, in Abbeville County, come here to do their trading. They know where to get the worth of their money. ' Messrs. R. M. Shirley and J. R. Calla bam have bought lots on Main street, and expect soon to erect brick store houses thereon. Both these gentlemen have been merchandising- here for years, and they know that this is a first-class business place. A gentleman who has travelled extensively, said to me the other day that he had never known such an immense amount of business done at a small town in one of the old States, as is done here. Mr. C E. Harper returned from Atlanta last Saturday with another drove of mulos. There is a lively race going on here for the Postoffice. Mr. G. M. Greer, the present Master, and Mr. J. R. Callaham ore both applicants. Both these gentle? men ore staunch Democrats, and we sup? pose one of them will be Postmaster, for this is a white man's town, and we don't intend that a rogue?I mean Rad?Bhall fill the office. We have no white Rads here. Ab for white Greebackers?well, we have much, more respect for a negro, whether he be called a decent negro or not, than wo have for him. We think ?that we are mistaken in calling him a Grecnhacker, We believe him to be a Greenbeggar; they ore begging for some little office. But if Gen. Harrison is the Christian gentleman that he claims to be, and that we hope and believe him to be, he will pay very little attention to their pitiful appeals for offloe. Dr. J. F. Shirley has returned from New York to the delight of his friends. He was met at the depot and summoned to the bedside of Mr. J. L. Brock, who had been quite sick, but is now better. Rev. B. P. Estes preached an interesting sermon at Broadmouth Church last Sun? day. There has been a handsome monument erected in Broadmouth graveyard in memory of Rev. W. P. Martin. The mon? ument cost $75.00, and was paid for by his relatives and members ot the several churches where he had served as pastor. A young lady from the country has been visiting friends in town, apd while here one of our bachelors called on her so often and continued his calls so late, that when the young lady's father came to town, the gentleman with whom she bad been stay? ing presented him a bill for one cord of wood and one gallon of oil. We think the bachelor ought to pay the bill. What do yon say, Mr. Editor ? Messengeb. Sullivan Hardware Go's. Itemi.

The ground was covered with snow and slash last Friday evening, but despite this fact the annual Ball of the Anderson Dancing Club, which took place that evening in Bleckley's Hall was a brilliant success. There have been larger crowds at former balls, but never has the entertainment been more perfect in detail, more com? plete in all its arrangements, or more ele? gant in its entirety. The spacious ball had been fitted up especially for the occasion. In the rear part of the building two ante-rooms had been erected, which were used as dressing rooms for the ladies and gentlemen. In these were every arrangement for the comfort and convenience of the merry dancers. The hall was beautifully decorated, and two large stoves furnished sufficient heat to keep it comfortable. The numerous large chandeliers of electric lamps threw their brilliant rays into every nook and corner, and the daintiest shades of color? ing in the beautiful costumes of the ladies were brought out as in daylight. The floor had been thoroughly waxed for the evening, which-made it more easier for the dancers to glide over. Comfortable seats were arranged around the walls for the convenience of the spec? tators. Bearden Bros.' Band, of Augusta, which consisted of five pieces, furnished the music for the occasion, and fine music it was, too. The floor managers were Messrs. T. S. Crayton, Jr., G. W, Evans and R. C. Cun? ningham, and from the beginning to the end, these gentlemen faithfully discharged their duties. As the ladies and gentlemen entered the hall, each one was provided with a beau? tiful "engagement card,"' with pencil attached, and in a short time a glance around the hall showed that the cards were being filled for the various dances. ? By 10 o'clock all the dancers had arrived, and at that hour the ball opened with a "Grand March." which was par? ticipated in by about- thirty-five couples, led by Mr. T. S. Crayton, Jr., and Miss Maggie Cox, of Baltimore, and from that hour on until half-past 2 a. m. the various dances were prosecuted with intense in? terest by the participants. The occasion wbb honored with the presence of quite a number of married ladies and gentlemen of the city, and we also noticed the presence of a number of strangers, of both sexes, from neighbor? ing towns and elsewhere. It was a com? mon remark that a more beautiful party of young ladies and a more handsome, gallant party of young gentlomen were never before assembled together in the city. To those who danced, as well as to those who did not, the evening was a most enjoyable one. The ball was delight? ful enough in every particular, and re? flects credit upon the members of the An? derson Dancing Club. With the assistance of a kind lady friend, we have attempted below to give a brief description of the dresses of those who were present in evening dress. Some of the costumes were the prettiest and per? haps most expensive ever worn on a simi? lar occasion in Anderson: The bride, Mrs. John M.

The heaviest snow that has fallen in a numbor of years began falling last Thurs? day at 12 m. By Friday morning the ground was covered to a depth of nearly ten inches. A great many rabbit hunters were out Friday, but the day was not ao propitious for the business as somp imag? ined it to be. ' Mr. S. L. Eskew's fish pond broke dur? ing the excessive rains last week, and the most of bis fish were lost. Cases of mistaken identity are of fre? quent occurrence, but two instances have lately come to light that lays everything else "in the shade." A gentleman living not very far from this place was in a store at Anderson, and in that store there is a large looking glass standing. This gen tletnau upon suddenly turning round saw his own reflection in the glass, and spoke to it before be found out bis mistake. Ho says he thought it was his brother Sam. The other instance is ono that happened near here recently to a gentleman living less than a hundred miles of Denver. This gentleman called at a house on busi? ness, but no one was at home but some children, and he could not learn anything definite from them as to the whereabouts of the party he was hunting. Upon see? ing a very nice elderly gentleman on the other side of the house, he oonciuded to go around and interview him. On going around the house he failed to find any one, so back he went to the front side, thinking probably this nice old gentle? man had gone round the other end of the house and so missed him. When he got to the front he could not find any one there, but could see this nice old gentle? man still standing at the back of the house. By this time our hero was begin? ning to get in earnest, and hot wishing to be outdone, he goes around the house again in quest of this nice old gentleman, but was doomed to disappointment again. On going to the front door again and looking a little oloser it was all made {ilain. Just in front of tho door stood a arge looking glass, and this nice old gen? tleman standing in the baok yard was his own reflection iu the glass. The trouble with this person was that he has been ac? customed to go clean shaved, but has been letting his beard grow this winter, and at the time had forgotten about. As he was good enough to tell this joke on Best Opportunity ever offered to the Trading Public of Anderson ait Popular Clothing, Shoe and Hat House. WHAT I propose to do is to sell my Entire Stock of Winter Clothing at Manufacturers' Cost for Cash, to make room for the Large Spring Stock which is now coming in. Many have been led estray by the word COST, but if you wiU call and see the prices you will be convinced. I can use the] money better than the Goods. So they must go. My SPRING STYLES are simply immense. I propose to do the Clothing business of Anderson, as I have heretofore. Don't mistake the place. A. C. MEANS. himself, wo are not disposed to tell who he is.

A Serap of Paper Saves Her Life* It was just an ordinary scrap of wrap? ping paper, but it saved her life. She was in the last stages of consumption, told by physicians that she was incurable and could live only a short time; she weighed less than seventy pounds.
