Business men who are not afraid to let the public know that they have goods to sell, are the ones of whom to buy. The Sullivan Hardware Co's. new ad? vertisement was handed in too late to ap pear this week. Look out for it next week. In the meantime, however, we advise our farmers to visit their store and see their new Victor Heel Sweep, the latest thing out. The new advertisement of C. F. Jonas & Co. contains some interesting informa? tion and should be read carefully. These gentlemen are doing an immense busi? ness, but they are receiving new goods every week, and their stock is always full and complete.

Sullivan, of Williamston, the high mayor of that health resort, paid a flying visit to Mr. Jno. B. Bonner a few days ago. The Captain is.one of the progressive young business men of our country.

Scott, who is now residing at Birmingham, Ala., for a late copy of the Birmingham Age-Herald, which contained portraits of Dick Hawes, (who has just been convicted of the murder of his little daughter) his wife and other members of his family, and the attorneys connected with the case. The County Commissioners decided on Tuesday that a Trial Justice is not enti? tled to any fees for holding an inquest, on the ground that he is paid a salary to attend to criminal business.

Mr. Reid lives at the old home? stead, which comprises about ill acres. Last year hi3 taxes on this place was $5.55, and in 1847 his father paid on the same place a tax of only 5 cents. We would direct your attention to McG(:e & Ligon's advertisement. These gentlemen bave vacated their old store? room in order for it to be torn down, and have moved their goods into the ware? house, just to the rear of their old stand.

Rev. C. B. Smith, of the Methodist Cbnrch, will deliver a short address to the pupils, after which they will visit the cemeteries of the city. Master Scott Brown, youngest son of Mr. Sam'l Biown, of this oity, who is now a student of Dr. Porter's Institute, in.Charleston, has stood first in his class over since he entered the Institute, seven months ago. Up to this time his average in his studies has not been far below 100. This is a fine showing for our young friend, and it gives us pleasure to mention it. Last Monday afternoon, at Slabtown, in this County, Mr. R. M. Prince accidentally shot and killed his newhew, Mr. Lawrence Prince. Mr. Prince was loading his rifle, when it was accidently discharged, the ball entering the head of his nephew, who was standing near by. The wounded man lived until 4 o'clock Tuesday morning. We have been unable to get any further information in reference to the sad affair. Just before going to projs on Wednes? day the sad news reaches us that Mr. Sam'l M. Crayton, who has been very ill for several weeks, died that morning about 11 o'clock. This simple announcement will be read with sorrow throughout the County by his numerous friends. Next week we will give a more extended notice of the deceased, for he was well known and highly esteemed by every acquain? tance. Anderson Division, No. 1, Sons of Tem? perance, will celebrate its anniversary on Monday night, 20th inst. Rev. A. A.

The Bowersville correspondent of the Hartwell Sun has this to say about a for? mer resident of Anderson : "Our accom datingand efficient P. M., John A. Reese, has erected a nice and well arranged store-honue above the ashes of his burned building. Mr. Rees6 is one of the best postmasters in this part of Georgia, and is a man of good taste and fine judgment. Though a heavy loser by the fire, his spirits bave remained unbroken, and he begins now with patience to retrieve by energy and industry what was lost by misfortune." Mr. Robert N. Williamson, son of Mr. James Williamson, died at his home in Martin Township, on Friday, 3rd inst., after an illness of about nine months, aged nearly 18 years. Mr. Williamson was a member of Bethany Baptist Church, and bore his long illness with Christianforti tude. When the summons of death came he was prepared to meet it. His remains were interred at the family burying ground, on Hencoop Creek, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. M. McGee, in the presence of a large crowd of friends and relatives. A party one evening lately were amus? ing themselves with a small musical box, and a young lady essayed to place it in va? rious positions, but could not succeed in making it sound loud enough. Her beau, a somewhat dandyfied fellow, told her that the best way was to place it upon something. "Guess you are right," said tho lady, instantly planting it upon his own head. And such a roar! Dandy boited for the front door like a streak of lightning, and vamoosed to parts un? known, the young lady glad at being so easily rid of a "shallow-plate." Miss Eliza Sadler, relict of the late John I F. Sadler, died at the home of her daugh? ter, Mrs. Teasley, at Hartwell, Ga., on Friday, 3rd inst. Mrs. Sadler was about 80 years of age, and, though a resident of Hart County, was well known in Ander? son County, where she has many friends and relatives, who deoply regret her death. She was a member of Good nope (Pxesbyterian) Church. Her remains were interred on Sunday at Roberts Church, Rev. T. C.. Ligon conducting the funeral services. One son and three daughters are left so mourn her death. On Monday Sheriff Bolt discovered that several of the prisoners of the Couuty Jail were making an attempt to escape there? from. They had removed one of the iron hars across the window and had taken out a number of brick, which were kept concealed under their blankets. The Sheriff was walking in the street, and no? ticing that there was something wrong about the window, went up and made an examination, when the discovery was made. Bon. Jones, colored, was the ring? leader in the attempt. A. M. Neal, Jr., eldest son of Mr. John B. Neal, died at his homo in Hopewell Township last Sunday night about 9 o'clock, after an illness of only two weeks with 'pnoumonia. Mr. Neal was about 10 years of age, and was a bright, upright, steady young man, whose death is a sad I blow to his parents. His remains were interred at Midway Church on Monday afternoon, the funeral services being con? ducted by Bev. A. P. Nicholson. At the time of his death he was student of Pat? rick's Military Institute, aud the Cadets, under command of Lieut. Patrick, attend? ed his funeral and buried his body with military honors. The festival given by the ladies of the Episcopal Church last Friday evening was a very pleasant affair. The lawn in front of Mr. C. W. Webb's residence, where the entertainment was held, pre? sented quite a pretty scene, lighted by the soft glow of Chinese lanterns, and in the back ground the gaudy tent occupied by the "Gipsy Queen" and her attendants made a weird, but attractive, picture. Miss Maggie Evans reigned Queen, while Miss Daisy Brown, assisted by several young -'Gipsies" dispensed "fortunes" to the "curious," belles and beaux who thronged the tent, anxious to know what the future held in store for them. Al? though the weather was unpleasantly cool for an open-air entertainment, still there was a fair crowd out. The proceeds were about forty dollars, which will be devoted to some church purpose. Col. J. D. Maxwell and Col. P. K. Mc Cnlly, who attended the Washington Cen? tennial in New York as members of Gov. Riohardson's staff, have returned home, and both gentlemen sneak in glowing terms of their trip and the reception with which they met while in Now York. The Governor and his staff made their head? quarters at the Hoffman House, and re? ceived much attention during their stay. Jnst before the parade a beautiful flag, with the name of South Carolina inscribed upon it, was presented to'the staff from some persons in New York. Gov. Rich? ardson appointed Col. McCully to carry this flag in th e parado, which he did, and after the parade, the flag was presented to him, by the Governor and staff. Col. McCully brought the flag home, and will ever treasure it as a pleasant memento of the Washington Centennial. The Pioneer Firemen have accepted an invitation to attend the annual pic nie of f be Excelsior Fire Company at Newberry, 8. C, on Thursday, 30th inst., and are making preparations to go down. The Young "America Cornet Band has also been invittd and will accompany the Pioneers on the trip. The railroad fare is $2.70 for the round trip. The Firemen made an effort to get the railroad to give them a special train from Anderson to Newberry and return, offering to pay any reasonable price for it, but the railroad authorities would not entertain.the prop? osition, claiming that they did not have enough extra cars for the train. A rail? road that claims to bo first-class should have sufficient accommodations to me&t the demands of the public, or quit busi? ness. This special train would have paid I ho railroad Company, and at the same time been a great accommodation to the Firemen and their friends. Judge Norton has granted a mandamus against W. H. Frierson, County Treasur? er, requiring him to pay J. S. Fowler a check for oue hundred dollars. The case vras heard on a B**^ against the County Treasurer to shov. why a mandamus should not" issue^^ '*? him. Messrs. Whitner and Simpson appeared for Mr. Frierson, and Messrs. Breazeale & Long, and Murray & Murray for Mr. Fowler. Mr. Frierson's grounds for refusing to pay the check were substantially: First, that be. and not the County Commis? sioners, had the discretion to designate the fund from which any check of theirs was to be paid, to be determined by the char? acter of the claim as set out in the check; second, that the character of claim was indefinitely set out; third, that the check was illegal?not properly issued; fourth, that he had not been previously notified of the drawing of said check. Judge Nor? ton overrulos all of the grounds, and de? cides that he has not power to review the judgment of the County Commissioners; that they have a right to relieve the Treasurer's doubts as to what funds he should pay a check, by directing what fund it should be paid out of, and that the law requiring the Treasurer to be notified of tho drawing of the chocks, refers to notice after drawing of the checks, and not before or at the time of drawing. Judge Norton requires the County Treas? urer to pay the check. This case settles an important question, and one iu which the people of the County, and especially those holdings claims against the County, are much interested. Opening the Old Corner Stone. Last Friday morning the corner stone of the old Masonic building was taken from its position and opened by the present Worshipful Master of Hiram Lodge, Mr. R. 8. Hill. Quite a number of our citizens had gathered at the building, and before moving the stone from its position Grand Master Divver made a few appropriate re? marks, and announced that it was the cus? tom of the Masonic fraternity to take up a collection cn such occasions for some char? itable object. The collection on this occa? sion, he said, would be for the benefit of the workmen who were injured while at work on the building a few days before. The stone was then removed to Messrs. Ligon & McGee's store, where it was open? ed. Every one who came in to look at it was asked to make a contribution, and about fifteen dollars was collected. This corner stone was laid on Friday, October 12th, 1855, but there is no record of what was placed in it. It was not air? tight, consequently everything in the re ceptable, except a silver plate and ten sil? ver coins, had crumbled to dust. None of the coins were very old, the dates running from 1834 to 1853. Among the coins were a.; old-fashioned seven-pence and a Span ten quarter?the latter equal to about three Cimts of our money. The plate bore the following inscription: "Erected Hiram Lodge, No. 68, A. F. Mi'i A. L. 5855, A. D. 185b. Building com? menced October 12th. Alfred Price, Grand Master, Grand Lodge, S. C F. E. Harri? son, W. M.; S. H. Langston, S. W.; J. B. Clark, J. W.; A. M. Holland, Sec.; A. 0. Norris, Treas.; J. V. Moore, S. D.; E. Hurrah. J. D.; Jos. Byrum, Tyler, of Hi? ram Lodge, No. C8. Johu T. Sloan, Archi? tect." The above named gentlemen are all ciecd, except Mr. John T. Sloan, who is now a resident of Columbia, S. C. It is proposed to replace this stone in the new building, and a new corner stone will be laid on top of it as soon as tho walls are r-aady. In speaking of the laying of the old cor? ner stone, the old Anderson Gazette and Advocate, under date of October 17, 1855, says: On last Friday the laying of the Corner Stone of the new Masonic Edifice about to be erected in this town by the members of Hiram Lodge, was celebrated with appro? priate honors and ceremonies. At 10 o'clock, a. m., the members of Hiram Lodge, accompanied by large delegations from the Abbeville, Cokesbury, Due West, Wi'liamston, Greenville and Pendleton Lodges, marthed in procession through the public square, under the direction of the Marshal, W. H. D. Gaillard, to the site of the building. The fraternity having formed a hollow square, an appropriate prayer was offered up by the Rev. T. S. Arthur, after which tho beautiful and impressive ceremony of laying the Corner Stone, was conducted by F. E. Harrison, Worshipful Master of Hiram Lodge. Ivlaj. John V. Moore was then introduced and proceeded to deliver a most forcible and glowing ad? dress, every way suited to the occasion. Although Maj. Moore had but a short time to prepare his address, it filled the mouths of ail present with praise. With a mastor torly hand he sketched the rise and progress of Masonry; portrayed in vivid languago its days of persecution and prosperity, and vindicated the noble principles and benefi? cial operations of the system, in a style of manly eloquence. His remarks to the ladies, in concluding, wero touching and in good taste. We hope to be able to lay before our readers, an address t;o replete with glowing thoughts and so many evidences of a strong and well cultivated mind. The Rev. T. S. Arthur was next intro? duced, and eloquently vindicated Masonry from the charge, that it attempted to usurp the office of the Church, ana also proved that tho Order imposed no obligations upon its members that at all conflicted with their obligations to the Governmont, to Society, or to the Church. After the speak? ing the fraternity adjourned to asumptuous diuner, prepared for thorn at Hubbard's Hotel. On the whole it was quite an im? posing spectacle, and we wish the Order great success in tho erection of their edifice. This community will be under great obli? gations to them upon its completion, for it will prove not only a useful building but quite an ornament to the town. Big lot of 5,10 and 15 cent Tiuwaro at Watkiut' Book Store, The Pic Nie at Cooley's Bridge. Last Saturday will nofcsoou be forgotten by the good people of the eastern side of the County, that day having been set apart for the annual pic nie at Cooley's Bridge, on Saluda River. We had received several very pressing invitations to be present, and remembering how well we had boen treated on a former similar occasion over there, we determined to go. Being rather a long drive, we decided to go part of the way Friday afternoon. Accordingly that afternoon, in company with Judge Cox, we drove to Belton and spent the night under the hospitable roof of Maj. G. W. Cox. That evening we attended a most ?leasant sociable at the residence of Capt. tringer, where the beauty and gallantry of Belton had gathered to spend a few pleasant hours. Our host and hostess, with their charming daughter, Miss Eva, left nothing undone that would tend to increase the pleasures of the gay party, and the only regret of the evening was that the hours were not long enough. Early Saturday morning we drove out to Cooley's Bridge, and were cordially wel? comed by Mr. J. M. Cox, one of the pro? prietors of the mills, who with his pleasant, cheerful words of greeting, always takes great pleasure in making these gatherings at his place as pleasant as possible. When we arrived the people were coming in from every direction, and by 10 o'clock the grounds were literally alive with happy, joyous faces, of both sexes, and of all sizes and ages, all bouyant with pleasant antic? ipations. Anderson, Greenville, Laurens and Abbeville Counties were all largely represented, and the crowd in attendance was perhaps the largest that has ever gath? ered at a social pic nie in Anderson County, being variously estimated at from fifteen hundred to two thousand persons. There is not in Anderson County a pret? tier or more appropriate place for a pic nie. Messrs. Cox and Du^an had done everything possible for the comfort and convenience of the expected crowd. Across the west prong of the River they had erected a foot bridge to tho beautiful, shady island, which contains about six acres. On the island numerous seats bad been erected, and under a stand the above named gentlemen were prepared to accom? modate the crowd with lemonade, milk shakes, cigars, etc. The day was bright and clear, but ex? ceedingly cool for the season of year, and white dresses and linen coats were not very comfortable. Tho crowd was soon scat? tered all over the island, and on both sides of the river, and here and there a courting | conple could be seen making good use of the time. Over at the mill the merry dancers had assembled, and throughout the day they kept time to tho music of the fiddlers. About 1 o'clock the dinner baskets were brought out, and an abundance of good things was visible on all sides. We dined with our good Iriend, Mr. J. M. Cox, and indulged as heartily as our modesty would allow. The afternoon was spontas young people are wont to do, and it was late before the crowd began to disperse. The occasion was one of general enjoyment throughout, and tho best of order prevailed. It would be hard to find a more sociable or hospita? ble crowd, or more prettier- young ladies, than was assembled there. Messrs. Cox and Dugan deserve all the praise they received for the excellent man? ner in which they managed the pic nie, and to them we" are especially indebted for many courtesies shown ua. Late in the afternoon, in company with our jovial friend, Mr. E. H. Poore, we drove to the residence of Mrs. Ann Matti son, near Calhoun, where we took tea, after which we went to the home of Mr. Hob. Griffin, where a number of young people bad assembled to spend a pleasant evening. Every one present felt tired from the festivities of the day, but this did not detor thorn from enjoying themselves, and it was near midnight before the merry crowd broke up. We spent the night with friend Griffin, who is a most energetio and prosperous farmer. He has a beautiful homo, and knows how to make one's stay under his rocf pleasant. Sunday morning we worshipped with the Baptist congregation at Belton, and heard a most excellent sermon from their beloved pastor, Dr. Manty. After service wo went to the home of our clever friend, Mr. Ab. Cox, who lives near Belton. Here we came in contact with a fine din? ner, and spent several hours' very pleas? antly wkh Mr. Cox's happy family. W? did not reach home till late Sunday evening, and, though a little tired, we did not regret our trip, for we had had a most pleasant time, hud met many old friends and formed the acquaintance of many now ones. We have promised ourselves anoth? er trip over into that section whenever the opportunity offers itself. [Advertisement.] Anderson, 8. C. Mb. John B.

A prominent farmer of Orangeburg County briefly, yet expressivelv, writes the Sullivan Hardware Co. that "tbePenning nington Side Harrow is received, and is the best thing of the kind I ever saw."
