An advertisement of this excellent institution appears in this paper, to which welnvite your attention. Parents who are thinking of sending their daugh? ters off to College should write to Br.

Cooley's plan? tation, near Williamston, accidentally fell into a well last Thursday and was drowned, It is not known how the acci? dent happened, as the child, with several other children, had been left at home by the parents, who were in the field at work. When the parents returned from their work at night the child was missed, and upon investigation it was found in the well. Our young friend, Mr. S. A. Burns, who resides near Sandy Springs, called to see us Tuesday morning, and left with us some white blackberries, which are very rare in this section. Several years ago Mr. Btuns' father found a few of these berries growing on Three-and-Twenty Creek. He transplanted the bushes to a more convenient place, and since then they have inoreased rapidly. In flavor they are very much like the common blackberry.. A well-known chrysanthemum cultiva? tor said this to a Newt and Courier reporter the other day: "The News and Courier had better warn the people to watch their chrysanthemum plants. The recent rain* have caused them to grow at a won? derful rate, and nnless they are carefully watched now they will be ruined, All the growing plants should be judiciously pinched and staked at once. If these pre? cautions are not taken the plants will out? grow themselves, and will not bear good flowers." . Those of our readers who have chrysanthemums should heed this advice.

It is one of the prettiest animals in this section, and can trot a mile in three mi antes very easy. We en? joyed aride with friend Dillingham the other afternoon, and he informed us that the only thing ho needs now to complete bis happiness in a pretty wife. Now, girls, don't you all propose at one time; It might frighten hi m out of his senses. The Sumter Watchman, of last week, says: "The Couinty Treasurer of Ander? son, a most efficient officer, recently re sighed because the provisions of the law touching* his dutios are so confused as to entail thankless labor, besides risk of loss through the mistake of other officials over whose conduct the Treasurer coulcl exer? cise no control. There is indeed much confusion in the tax laws of South Caro? lina, but,, as the Columbia Register says, the Legislature hfis been too bnsy to look after a little matter like that." The Rough and Ready Firemen, under command of Capt. A. B. Johnson, partic? ipated in the Colored Firemen's Tourna? ment at Augusta, on the 4th inst.', and won the fixBt prize in the reel contest in 26 7-10 ?econds. One of their team, Na? poleon Johnston, also won the first prize in the individual foot race. There was considerable confusion and dissatisfaction over the contest, and the Anderson firemen complain that they were not treated fairly by the Augusta Judges. The two prizes they won amounted to $85, but as yet they have not received their money. The two Greenville Companies also attended the Tournament, and they also returned home not pleased with Augusta's colored firemen. The Teachers' Institute is going on through its second week under the lead of Rev, Mr. Marshall, Dr. Lander and Prof. Touhorsby, of the Gaffney Femalo Seminary. Trof. Touhersby came to An? derson a stranger, but he has greatly en? deared himself to the Institute by his in? structions. He is a thinker, and never gets up without presenting food for thought. Of the other two gentlemen it is not necessary to speak, for they are "liv? ing epistles known and read of all men" in this community. The Institute will adjourn to-day. Our efficient School Commissioner, Mr. Russell, has worked hard-to make the Institute profitable and interesting to the teachers, and success has crowned his efforts. . The annual Convention of the South Carolina Teachers' Association will bo held in Columbia on the 16th, 17th and 18th of this month. In speaking pf it, the Columbia Record says: "Arrangements have been made for the accommodation of visiting teachers. They can stay in the Winthrop Training School building, and board for the small sum of 75 cents per day. Attention is especially called to this Convention ; all the white teachers in this cud other States are welcome. The ses ? sions wilt be held in the chapel of the Co? lumbia Female College." The railroad fare from Anderson to Columbia and re? turn during the Convention will be $3.95. Some, if not all, of Anderson's li ve teach? ers should attend this Convention. An interesting meeting was held in the Baptist Church Sunday afternoon to dis? cuss and encourage the proper observ? ance of the Sabbath. Rev. Dr. Friers on presided over the meeting and made a short address. Rev. T. F. Gadsden, Rev. J, S. Murray, Rev. A. A. Marshall and Mr. 0. F. Jones also made short addresses appropriate to the occasion. Mr. Mar? shall read a series of resolutions approv? ing the recent orders of the President iu reference to the observance of the holy Sabbath in the Army and Navy, and also commending the action of certain railroad corporations in making changes in the conduct of their business, with a view of releasing their employee!* from Sunday work. These resolutions were endorsed by the congregation by a rising vote. Under the caption '"Generous Rivalry," the Seneca Free Press, says: "The Ander? son correspondent of the Greeuville News mentions that a memorandum of the old? est and tha youngest inhabitant, the last marriage and other items of present and further interest wero placed in the corner stone of the Masonic Temple. Now Sen? eca is not quite up with Its sister city in population or enterprises of some kind, but it would "take the cake" in all these counts. The oldest inhabitant is Mr. William Stribling, aged 81; the youngest R. B. Hayes, jr., aged four days, and the latest maiTiage that of Mr. T- E. Stribling, June 27tb. It might not be out of place to remark that there have been several marriages since the date of Anderson's last, and our town bids fair to rival her in population without the aid of foreign im? migration." Come down, brother, and get "the cake," and at tbo same time we will treat to a drink of ice water made by the Anderson Ice Factory. Mrs. Mollie Prince Pouche died in Bal? timore last Saturday, and her remains were brought to Williamston and interred on Tuesday, Dr. Lander conducting the funeral services. Mrs. Fouche was the eldest daughter of Mr. W. L. Prince, of Williamston, and formerly resided at Ninety Six, having removed to Baltimore a short time ago. She was ill only about two weeks. She was a most excellent Christian woman, and was highly esteem? ed by her many friends and acquaintances. She leaves a husband and three ' children, besides a host of relatives, to mourn her death. The address of Col. Rice on Tuesday be? fore the Teachers' Institute and the Trus? tees was a masterly presentation of the cause of common schools, and it is a great pity that every school patron and trustee and all others interested in the cause of popular education could not have been present and have heard it. For an hour and forty-five minutes be presented the subject in its different aspects, showing the duties of Trustees and School Commis? sioners, emphasizing the fact that the of? fice of School Commissioner was one of the most important in the County, and should be filled by a live, active, energetic man. Col. Rice deserves well at the hands of the people, for he is serving them well and faithfully. He has been and is going everywhere waking up the people, teachers and school officers to a proper sense of their duty. He is spending nearly all his sala? ry in travelling over the State in the inter? est of popular education, and will, no doubt, be gratefully remembered for his efforts. A Trip to the Eastern Side of the County. Last Saturday afternoon, in company with our young friend, Jas. P. Dugan, we left the city to pay a visit over on the Saluda Bide of our County, in response to a very cordial invitation to come and meet with Toney Creek Division, 8ons of Temperance, and install the officers elected to serve the Division the ensuing quarter. We travelled the Cooley's Bridge road, and the drive was a very pleasant one. The growing crops along the road are fine, despite the fact that the grass had gained considerable headway in most of the fields. About sundown we reached the hospi? table home of our good friend, Mr. J. M. Cox, where we partook heartily of a good Supper. Mr. and Mrs. Cox, with their bright, interesting children, know how to make one's stay under their roof pleas? ant Their pretty little home is situated within the sound of the roaring waters of the Saluda, and is surrounded with fine scenery. About 8{ o'clock we repaired to the Hall, which is located in the second story of the building occupied as a store room by Messrs. Cox & Dugan, and not far from Mr. Cox's residence. Here the meetings of the Division are held. Toney Creek Division is an old-established or? ganization, and at one time had a very large membership. Last winter its mem? bers became a little indifferent and did not attend the meetings punctually, and as a consequence the Division ceased to eilst. It had done much good work in that community, and several of the moBt faithful members determined not to give up their charter, but to make another effort to revive the Division. A meeting was held recently and the Division has again gone to work in earnest. The meet? ing on this occasion was not largely attended, but from what we know of the ladies aud gentlemen who wore present, we feel safe in saying that they will not let the Division get idle again. The fol? lowing officers were installed Into their respective offices to serve the ensuing quarter: Worthy Patriarch, T. B, Dugan ; Worthy Associate, Will. Butler; Record? ing Scribe, J. S. Acker, Jr.; Assistant Recording S'jribe, MisB Julia Butler ; Fi? nancial Scribe, J. M. Cox; Treasurer, Miss Seymour Acker; Chaplin, J. Gr. Henderson; Conductor, Hobt, L. Dugan ; Assistant Conductor, Mrs. R. L. Dugan; Inside Sentinel, Willie Acker; Outside Sentinel, A. N. Ragsdalc. The Division decided to meet regularly on Saturday night before the first and third Sundays in each month. After the meeting adjourned we accom? panied our young friend, Robt. L. Dugan, home, and spent the night under his hos? pitable roof. Mr. Dugan and his charm? ing young wifo know how to make one's stay in their home pleasant. Our young friend has been in the matrimonial har? ness only about a 3'ear, but he is working nicely. Sunday morniug we drove across the County to Honea Path, where "Children's Day," was being observed by the Metho? dist congregation of that village. When we arrived there the exercises had com? menced, and, as the Church was crowded to its utmost seating capacity, we did not get in to hear any of the addresses, sev? eral of which were made. At 12 o'clock an intermission of two hours was had for dinner. Wo dined at the home of our good friend, Rev. M. McGce, and spent a most pleasant hour with bis interesting family. The exercises at the Church in the after? noon were equally as interesting as those of the morning, and the Church was again crowded. Prof. J. G. Clinkscales had been invited to address the School in the afternoon, but sickness in his family prevented him from being present, which was a great disappointmant to bis numer? ous friends. Short addresses were made by the pastor of the Church aud Prof. H. H. Watkins, of Greenville, and Mr. A. C. Latimer. of Belton. Mr. Milton Dunlap i i the Superinten? dent of this Sunday School, and makes an excellent officer. We returned homp Sunday afternoop, having had a most enjoyable trip. The crops throughout that section of the County are very promising and the far? mers are all in fine spirits. Survivors' Meeting.

Editor: In company with my good friend Sheriff BoH, I spent the "glo? rious fourth" visiting somo of my friends in the Hopewell community. We left Anderson early enough to reach Mr, Thomas Bolt's abode before the heat of the day, where we stayed until about 4 o'clock, enjoying in the meantime a splendid dinner?just such an one, how over, as long experience teaches me is to be had in the country. We found crops unusually fine and enjoyed walking over the fertile. fields cultivated by Mr. Bolt and his brothers, and the adjoining plantation of Mr. Albert Jolly, all of which promise a rich harvest. On the return trip we came out by Midway Church and dowa by Capt, Erskine's who, by the way, has the finest crop, both cot? ton and corn, I have seen this year. Our first visit in that vicinity was so very pleasant we can assure our friends that we will, in the near future, avail ourselves of their kind invitations to "come again." * Gist Riilos Survivors' Association. The annual meeting of the Gist Rifles (Co. ' D," Hamption Legion) Survivors' Association will be held at Williamston, S. C, on Wednesday, 21st July, 1889, at 11 o'clock. We expect some of our old staff officers to be with us and addresses by them will be in order, and we trust there will be an extra large attendance. We oxtond invitation to Co. "F" Survi? vors to send delegations to meet us. And also to any surviving ex-Confederates. J. Jj. Matjldin, Secretary. Wat. F. Lee, President. ^aHPickena, Greenville and Oconee pa? pers are requested to copy. Epoch. The transition from long, lingering end painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the life of the individual. Such a remarkable event is treasured in ;he memory and the agency whereby the good health has been attained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe their restoration to health, to the use of the Gr ?at Alterative and Tonic. If you are troubled with any disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or abort standing you will surely find relief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at 50c. and $1 per bottle at Hill Bros.'
