This is the time of year to clean up the city. All lots should be carefully inspect? ed, and all filth should be removed at least once a week. If properly owners will not do it, the city authorities should have it done and the neglient parties be made to pay the expense. Our city has a fine reputation as a health resort, and the only way to maintain this reputation is to keep everything scrupulously clean. We bad a pleasant call last Friday from Dr. J. M. Westmoreland, of Greenville, who was in the city supplying our drug? gists with a stock of "Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic," an advertisement of which appears in our colums. The Doc? tor is one of the leading physicians of Greenville, and his Tonic is growing more popular every day. Those who have tried it commend it very highly. We would direct attention" to the adver? tisement of the Excelsior State Coating, which appears in another column. This coating has been applied to more than sixty buildings in the city, and has given entire satisfaction to the owners of tne property.* It is the very thing to use on an old leaky roof. Mr. McDonald, the proprietor, wants several agents with a small capital, and will cheerfully give any information in reference to his coating. Laurens Advertiser: "Mr. Fate Craw? ford has just returned from atrip to An? derson, where he has been looking after the interest of the Wadsworth Estate. We hope the Trustees will be able to re? cover every foot of land belonging to this estate, and with it we can have a splendid school in this section. The total amount of land is about 15,000 acres, this ought to bring $75,000, which will enable us to have a school second to none in the State." Our young friend, Ralph W. Brown, who has just graduated from the New York Medical University, returned home last Friday, and was warmly greeted by his numerous, friends. Anderson has never turned out a more noble or worthy young man than Ralph, and we predict for him a bright future. He stood high in his class, and being possessed of a most' pleasant and courteous disposition, is bound to be a successful and popular physician. He has not decided where he will locate. The Columbia correspondent of the Charleston World says: "Mr. E. Marion Rucker, an honor graduate of the South Carolina University and a native of An? derson, has located in Columbia, where he will practice law. Mr. Rucker has an analytio mind, well suited to the practice of law, and Is known to possess a mental eqnipment of the highest order for coping with the giants of debate. He has opened an office with Col. Joseph Daniel Pope. Mr. Rucker married a Columbia lady, and their friends will be glad to know that they have settled in the capital city." Last Thursday a negro named Doo. Jones broke into the dwelling house of Mr. Doc! Craig, in Garvin Township, while the family were away from home, and stole $7.95 in money, a watch and about $60 worth of clothing. Jones came to the city, and .while hero stole another watch from a negro, who arrested him. Jones returned the watch, and upon the payment of two dollars, was released. It was not known until after his release that he was the same person who had entered Mr. Craig's house. An effort was made to re-arrest him, bat he succeeded in getting out of the way. Jones is described as a tall, ginger-cake colored negro, with a scar over his right eye an extending down on the cheek. Any information concerning his whereabouts will be gladly received ?by Mr. Craig. / In the store room recently occupied by Messrs. Watson & Son, Mr. John E. Peo? ples has on exhibition a large variety of carriages, buggies, wagons and harness, which he is offering to the public at prices that can't be beat.

Mr. Peo? ples buys his vehicles for cash direct from the manufactory, and is satisfied with a small profit, therefore he will make it to your interest to call and see his stock before.baying elsewhere. Read his ad? vertisement in another column. The County Commissioners have order jed a new safe for the Court House from Mosler, Bowen & Co., of New York. We learn that it will be a large one, capable of holding all the records of the Clerk's Of? fice. The well known reputation of the Mosler safe in Anderson and elsewhere gives every guarantee of absolute security against fire, and we learn that the price and terms are very advantageous to the tax payers, and reflect credit upon the Commissioners, who gave the subject much careful consideration. The sale was perfected through Mr. W. G. Black, the courteous representative of the Mosler Safe Company. Mr. R. M. Wright has fitted up a shop on McDnffle street for the purpose of doing all kinds of scroll work, making brackets, making and repairing furniture, and doing other work in that line.

He proposes in the near future to be prepared to manufacture sash and blinds. Mr. Wright is a practi? cal workman, anjd by opening this shop he will supply a long felt want. We have seen his machinery at work, and from the way he has started out he is bound to meet with success'.

Last Thursday afternoon the dwelling house of Mr. J. G. Cunningham, on West Market Btreet, was destroyed by fire* The house, it is supposed, caught in the roof from a spark, and when the fire was first discovered the building was nearly enveloped in flames. The wind was high at the time, and the house burned rapidly. ? The firmen turned out promptly, and succeeded in' saving the outbuildings. Only arfaW pieces of furniture was saved from the bouse. Mr. Cunningham's loss will aggregate about $3,000, on which there was an insurance of $2,000?$1,500 im the house and $500 on the furniture. Efe proposes to rebuild at an early day. A VISIT TO THE COUNrKV. riie Entertainment at the Carswell Insti? tute, and other Notes of oar Trip. The best recreation that a tired, worn jut newspaper man can take is a trip into ;he country. We have tried it, and:know whereof we. speak. Having" received several pressing invitations to attend the entertainment given by the students of the Carswell Institute last Saturday even? ing, and knowing that it would be an enjoyable occasion, we left the city late 3aturday afternoon in company with a manning companion and drove down to the Institute, which, as is well known, Is located near Storeville, about twelve miles south of the city. As we drove along the Lowndesville road, we were gratified to see so many improvements being made on the farms. 3n nearly every farm we could see new barns, new stables and now houses for tenants going up, and we noticed several ?ew and substantial residences. Among the latter the new residence of Mr. Geo. L. 3hrimp, who lives about eight miles from the oity, is perhaps the most mod? ern and attractive we saw. It sets back some distance from the road, in a pretty grove. The house is finished in pretty style, and would show off well in a city. Mr. Shrimp is one of oar best farmers, and everything around his beautiful home indicates his prosperity. We reached the Institute about dark, and met with a cordial reception from Prof.. W. L. Brown, the courteous and efficient Principal of the school, who es? corted us into the hall and provided us with a comfortable seat. The crowd was gathering rapidly, and in a short time the ball was filled with an appreciative audi? ence. The bright, cheerful countenances of the boys and girls showed plainly that they had looked forward to the occasion with the most pleasant anticipations, and they were delighted to seo that so many of the patrons and friends of the school had turned out to witness the entertain? ment. The evening's programme opened with a song by the Miller Cousins, who had kindly offered to-assist Prof. Brown in the entertainment, and who added con? siderable to it. The following programme was then rendered: Comic speech by Bro. Gardiner, who was represented by Mr. Jas. Brown. A Temperance play?"Hard Cider,',' in which the characters were represented by Misses Lidie Walters and Zella Ferguson and Messrs. Louis Elgin, Jas. Hall, Pierce Brown and E. McAdams. Music?vocal and instrumental?by the Miller Cousins. Reoitation?''Nebuchadnezzar," by Mr. E. McAdams. Play?"Bootblack," the characters be? ing sustained by Prof. Brown and Mr. Ellison McAdams, the latter representing a negro. Play?"The Trial Justice." In this there were three characters, which were sustained by Lyman McPhail, Floyd Bowen and Miss Nellie Walters. This was an original play, gotten up by Prof. Brown, and was one of the best of the evening. Music, instrumental, by the Miller Cousins. Play?"Bad Job." Six characters, rep? resented by Misses Nellie Walters and Eva Strickland and Messrs. Ben. Lowe, Prue Clinkscales and Jas. Brown. Song, "The Philadelphia Girl," by the Miller Cousins. Play?"Uncle Joe's Cotton." Two characters, represented by Prof. Brown and Lewis Elgin, the latter as a negro. Song?"Ride on the Evening Train," by the Miller Cousins. An Ethopian Play, in which there wore four characters, represented by Messrs. Lewis Elgin, Lyman McPhail, Ellison McAdams und Jaa. Brown. Music, iostrumental, by the Miller Cousins. Ethiopian Play?"Squash dat Tater." The characters were sustained by Messrs. Ben. Strickland, Lyman McPhail and Jas. Brown. The programme concluded with a clog dance by the Miller boys. The programme throughout was amus? ing and entertaining, and all who partic? ipated sustained their parts exceedingly well. The audience was delighted with the entertainment, and Prof. Brown re? ceived many congratulations for the suc? cessful manner in which he had managed it. The proceeds of the entertainment will be used in supplying the school room with furniture. Prof. Brown is building up a fine school at the Institute, his roll now num? bering over seventy-five pupils, and we are glad to know that the people of that Sec? tion have decided to keep him employed throughout the year. Leaving the Institute,' at the conclusion of the entertainment, we went to the hos? pitable homo of Mr. E. B. Norrie, who resides near First Creek, where we spent the night and the greater portion of San day. Mr.. Norris has a most beautiful home, and he and his happy family know know how to make one's stay under their roof pleasant. His residence is situated on a hill, and affords a fine view of the sur? rounding country. He has a fine planta? tion, and is a successful farmer. A stroll over his farm is worth a trip down there. On the hill-sides leading from First Creek one can see some of the grandest scenery to be found this side of the mountains. Indeed, the hills, which are covered with fine timber, with large rocks projecting here and there, look like mountains. On Sunday we had the pleasure of attending the Sunday School at First Creek Church. The Bchool is in a flour? ishing condition, having nearly one hun? dred names on -its roll, and is superin? tended by that clever Christian gentleman, Mr. T. L. Clinkscales, who is devoted to his work. Regular services are held at the Church only once a month?the fourth Sundays?but the school meets regularly every Sunday, and usually a prayer meeting is held after the school is dismissed. As we came up the Abbeville road Sun? day afternoon, on our way home, we noticed improvements being made on nearly every farm. Several new dwell? ing houses have been erected along the road since we last travelled it. Our trip was such a pleasant one and we were treated so well, that we will cer? tainly take advantage of the first opportu? nity to visit that section again. Andersonville. The Hartwell (Qa.) Sun, of last week, says: "Hon. E. P Earle, of Andersonville, S. C, paid our office a pleasant call on Satur? day. He informed us that a government surveying party came up the Savannah recently, and expressed themselves as delighted and surprised at the picturesque scenery around Andersonville. "Mr. Earle is deeply interested in the proposed exploration of the Savannah river by Mr. H. W. Grady, of the Atlanta Constitution, and other distinguished gen? tlemen, and says if the party would begin at the confluence of the Tugalo and Seneca rivers at Andersonville, that the people of the eity and County of Anderson would meet them cordially, and do everything in their power to make the exploration prof? itable and pleasant. Mr. Earle is the pro? prietor of Andersonville, and his resi? dence, perched upon a prominent emi? nence immediately in the fork of the rivers, suggests to the mind some grand old feudal castle, lacking but the frowning walls and parapets. "The. advertising of the untold advan? tages and resources of Hart, Anderson and Elbert Counties along the Savannah, would by no means be disadvantageous to Elberton; father to the contrary, as that progressive city aspires to be the me? tropolis of this section; and whatever tends to improve or develop the surround? ing territory would certainly conspire to the more speedy attainment of her lauda? ble ambition. "What a magnificent place Anderson? ville would be for a grand inter-State bar becue and picnic!" flonea Path Items. DaveAgmen, (colored) living near here, knocked his wife in the head with a rock, inflicting a painful wound. A little negro child on Mr. J. R. Clem? ent's place was fearfully burned last week. Miss Carrie, daughter of Mr. Clement, while patting out the fire was badly burned. Barker's Creek community mourns the loss of a good citizen, Mr. John Shirley, who died at his home on Thursday night, March 14th, after a long and painful ill? ness from cancer. His remains were interred in the graveyard at Barker's Creek Chnrch, on Friday afternoon. The funeral sermon was preached by his pas? tor, Rev. D. W. Hiott. Revs. R. D. Haw? kins and M. McGee made some remarks at the close of the sermon. The writer has known Mr. Shirley for years, and has never heard a word said against his Chris? tian charaoter. Surely a good man has left us. ? The Chnrch at Barker's Creek received one member by experience last Sunday. Our town was fortunate in having the Quarterly Meeting held here. The Pre? siding Elder of the Cokesbury District, Rov. A. J. Cauthen, preached several in? teresting and helpful sermons. Rev. Mr. Dagnall looked like he felt good when they paid him his quarterage?Mr. Dag? nall is pastor in charge. I imagine that a preacher can preach better when his peo? ple appreciate his services enough to pay him for his work as he does the work. Rev. Mr. Craig, of Ninety-Six, preached for the Presbyterians Sunday and Sunday night. He thinks out his sermons well. Our young friend, Mr. T. R. Finley, has been quite sick, but is out again. One of our bachelors joined the Alliance the other day. Perhaps he thinks if he can get flour and bacon cheap enough he might be able to support one more, and then he would go to housekeeping. One of our young men was so fond of his pistol that he could not spare as much time to society as the people thought he might, but somehow the pistol was slip? ped, and now he pays a great deal of attention,' to a certain-Well, I reckon I had better not tell any more now.
