We understand that Granite Row will j soon be attacked by the spirit of enterprise which is so greatly improving two sides of the Square. This will, indeed, be a step in the right direction, as Granite Row and Brick Range are hardly decent when brought in juxtaposition with the other two more enterprising sides of the Square. Attention is directed to the advertise? ment of the Oakland Female Institute, of Asheville, N. .C. Anderson was repre? sented in this Institute last session by several yonng ladles. It ranks as one of the best institutions of learning in North Carolina, and parents having daughters to educate could not place them in a better college.

An invitation is extended to the members of other Alliances to attend, and to bring their families and their din? ner baskets. Several speeches may be oxpected during the day* The Young Men's Prayer Meeting on last Sunday afternoon was very enjoyable, indeed. The meeting was conducted by Mr, L. P. Smith, who made a very inter? esting talk, his subject being, "An invest? ment that pays good dividends /"' Several impromtu speeches were made. The meeting wiU be conducted on next Sunday afternoon by J. W. (Juattlebaum, Esq. The Greenville News, of last Friday, says: "Yesterday morning while the Columbia & Greenville freight train was backing in? to the mill yard at Piedmont, Andrew Shirley, a boy of nine years, attempted to board it and ride up the road. He was standing on a platform and in attempting to step on the car he slipped and fell be? tween the car and the platform. One of his legs fell on the track and the car wheels ran over and crushed it badly. The boy was removed to his home and the limb was amputated by Doctors Dounald and Richardson. Young Shirley is expected to recover though his injuries are very se? rious, The boy is a son of J. F. Shirleyi who has charge of the waste house of the Piedmont Mills," J There ig a little story for which we cannot vouch, says an exchange, that an editor once applied at the door of hades for admission. "Well," replied his sable majesty, "we let one of your profession in here many years ago, and he kept up a continual row with his former delinquent I subscribers, and as we have more of that class of persons here than any other, we have passed a law prohibiting tho admis? sion of editors." Last Sunday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, lightning struck Mr. Reuben Clinkscales' stables, in Martin Township, and killed a valuable young horse of Mr. L. N. Martin. There were several mules and horses in the stable, one of which was slightly stunned by the lightning. The stables caught lire, but were extinguished bofore much damage was done. Mr. Martin's horse was struck on the head, which .was almost shattered, the eyeballs being torn from their socket. We would direct especial attention to Messrs. McGee & Ligon's new advertise? ment. These gentlemen are now occupy? ing their new store room, which they are rapidly filling up with a very large and select stock of groceries, and every person who desires to buy the best goods at the lowest prices, should go and inspect their stock and get their prices. They also carry a big stock of fancy groceries, canned goods, etc. Give them one call, and you will be sure to go back again. Maggie, a little daughter of Capt. Wilton Ponlnot, of Charleston, died at the resi? dence of Mr. J. J. Gilmer, in this city, last Monday morning, at 1 o'clock, after an illness of about two weeks with bronchial pneumonia. In company with her mother, she came to Anderson about a month ago to visit Mr. Gilmer's family, and when she was stricken down she received every attention possible. Capt. Poulnct reached the city Friday, and when the little girl passed away, she was surrounded by her i parents and two sisters. She wa312 years j of age, and a bright, amiable girl. Her re? mains were carried to Charleston last Monday for interment. j We took a little jaunt to Hartwell, Ga., I last Saturday, and on Sunday attended the annual Camp Meeting that is held noar that town. The trip was a most enjoyable one, indeed, for we met many new friends and renewed the acquaintance of many old ones. The attendance at the meeting was as large as usual, and much interest was manifested in the services. A most excel? lent sermon was preached at 11 o'clock, a. m. on Sunday by Rev. Mr. Jamison, of Toocoa. We spent Saturday night with Mr. J. R. Meredith, formerly of this Coun? ty, who is now in charge of the Hartwell Hotel. He conducts his house liko a vete? ran landlord. That section can't be ex? celled for its clever people and pretty girls, and it is always a pleasure for us to visit there. The crops all along the road, on both sides of the river are fine, and the farmers are expecting an abundant yield. We are glad to be able to announce the complete organization of "The Anderson Female College, the first session of which will open on the 23rd of September next. The following is the Faculty: Rev. A. A. Marshall, President; Misses Varina D. Brown, J. Lois Watson, Maggie M. Evansi Olive M. Brown, M. Lucile Nardin, teach? ers in the Literary Department; Miss Vir? ginia Evans will teach instrumental] mu? sic, and Mrs. Pauline Gurganus vocal, and Miss Lizzie A. Mathews will have charge of tho art department. All the pupils from the County will get the benefit of the public school fund. This is one thing that our people should take special inter? est in and try to encourage and build up. We can see no reason why this College should not be one of the best institutions of the country for the education of our young ladies. The people of Anderson can make it such if they only will, and we hope they will. Look out for the advertise? ment next week. Anderson County S. S. Association. The first meeting of the Anderson Coun? ty Sunday School Association met in the Baptist Church in this city on the 30th of July. Twenty eight Sunday Schools were represented, 3,222 scholars being represent? ed by these schools, composed of 12 Bap? tist, 8 Methodist, 5 Presbyterian and 3 Union. afternoon session. The Association was called to order by Mr. B. F. Mauldin, who moved that Mr. A. B, Towers be called to the chair, and C. Wardlaw, Esq., be requested to act as tem? porary secretary. This motion was adopt? ed. The meeting was then oponed with a Bible reading and prayer. The delegates were enrolled. The following officers were unanimously elected: President, B. Frank Mauldin ; Secretary, D. H. Russell; Asst. Secretary, C. Ward law ; Treasurer, John M, Hubbard. Exec? utive Committee?L. P. Smith, A. B. Tow? ers, C. F. Jones, D. H. Russell and B. F. Mauldin. ' The Query : "What is a Sunday School worth to a community ?" was discussed by Bros. J. P. Glenn, J. W. Shell and C. B. Smith. [ The Association adjourned to meet at 8:30 p. m. The night session opened withdevotioual exercises by Rev. C. 'B. Smith. Address by Rev. J. W. Shell. Prayer by Rev. A.P. Nicholson. Adjourned. wednesday mobninc. The Association met at 0:30, and was opened by devotional services by the Pres? ident, after which the query : "The quali? fications of the S. S. teacher" was taken up and discussed by Bros. D. H, Russell, L. E. Campbell, C. B. Smith, C. F. Jones, J. B. I Patrick, ?-Harris, and others. This was a most interesting discussion. The next and last subject for discussion?"The duty of parents (o the Sunday School"?was ta? ken up and discussed by Rev. D. E. Frier son, L. & Campbell, and various others. On motion of C. Wardlaw, the Associa? tion assumed and confirmed the pledge made by Rev. Coko Smith, at the State Sunday School Convention in Charleston, pledging Anderson County for $25.00 to aid in organizing the State. A collection was then asked, and $30.15 raised to lift this pledge and meet current expenses. The Statistical Committee submitted their report, showing 23 schools present, representing 329 officers, and 3,222 scholars. This report also shows that 115 joined the church during the last year from these Sunday Schools, and that ?582.85 have been contributed by them for Sunday School and missionary purposes within the last year. This is a work or' immense importance, and each Township is earnestly urged to organize a Township convention. C. Wardlaw, Asst. Sec. Pic NIc at Dean. Mb. Eowoa : The annual pic nie at Dean was given Saturday, August 3d. The morn? ing was dark and cloudy, and gave every evidence of being followed by a disagreea? ble day for a pic nie, and all interested wore long faces, as the weather was indicative of a failure ; but about 9 o'clock the sup shone forth with all its glory, the dark clouds were soon dispelled, and with them wcut the long faces. Soon aftor the young peo? ple were seen driving in from every direc? tion, and in a short time the beautiful grove of oaks surrounding the Academy was literally alive with happy couples that roamed at will through tfie woods until that always welcoru?u sound?the dinner bell?called them together around a large table that fairly groaned under the load of well prepared and nicely arranged dinner. There was enough for all, and plenty left for supper. After every one hud appeased his hunger and quenched his thirst, the crowd dispersed?some to shady nooks ut the root of trees, some to carriage and phaetons, and others to the Academy, where they had music and daubing. There wero noar 100 present, and all seemed hap? py and gay. At tf o'clock thoy reluctantly began to say good-bye, all hoping to meet again in 1800. j. A. M. I Alliance Meeting, i Mit. EoiToit: According to announce? ment made in your columns, Hopewell A.lliance met a number of members from Town Greek, Piercetown, and Whitefield Alliances at Hopewoll school-house on Friday, the 2d inst. When men of a craft are thrown together many things pertain? ing to their peculiar calling are noticed and mentioned. So, after the usual salutations, we often heard: "How is your crop?" The answers were generally "Fine?fine?" "Better than the prospect at this time of '82." It was generally conceded that a throwing off process must be brought, about, as the stalks cannot sustain the fruit now taken on. Then references were made to the recent rainfall. Some ventur? ed a guess at the future weather, which was predicated on the phases of the moon. Some could mention various localities where the rainfall had been excessive or meagre, which fact would, impress one that farmers interest themselves in enquir? ing after the welfare of thoir fellows. But this easy way of moving was disturbed at eleven o'clock by a summons to repair to the hall of the Alliance. Things became more formal. Some routine business was transacted. Officers for the next year were elected as follows: J. A. Welborne, President; C. C. King, Vice-President; S. S. Newell, Secretary; W. A. Neal, Treasurer; J. K. Duckworth, Chaplain; M. E. Deal, Lecturer; W. J. Vandiver, Asst. Lecturer; T. M. King, Door-keeper; J. H. Leach, Asst. Door? keeper; J. S. Lawless, Sergant at-Arms. Such interest characterized the proceed? ings of this meeting that the eloquence of a lank brother well nigh failed to in? duce these earnest Lords of the manor born to see the utility of adjourning to dinner. Finally, however, they sallied forth and found, amidst the broad branches of the neighboring oaks, a bountiful table of fruits and viands which had been taste? fully arranged by nine of their own wives and daughters. These few had deigned to grace this occasion by their presence. Other ladies were prevented from attending, because they were not specially mentioned in the call of this meeting, which overlook we much regret. But there was a feast of good things, and while these sturdy farmers would have been happior had the ladies generally been present, yet the sunshine of the few was so intensified as to make the occasion one of solid pleasantness. At two o'clock p. m. President P. H, Brown, of Town Creek, assisted by R. Williams, of Piercetown, publicly install? ed the officers elect. Business was again resumed when the Allliance Mercantile Association was discussed. Messrs. W. A. Neal, E. M. Deal, James Harris and J. M. Hara lin favored the enterprise. These speakers urged that this organization of the farmers was not an aggressive warfare upon any legitimate pursuit; that other callings and avocations of men thought it wise to form associations for mutual benefit; that Boards of Trade, Legal, Medical, and Press Asso? ciations, Trade Unions, tfcc, are living wit? nesses of the wisdom of their projectors ; that farmers should hasten to imitate and practice methods which had proved to be good for other callings; that capitalists, prompted by motives of great pecuniary gain for themselves at the increased ex? pense of all men and industries, had com? bined their capital and brains to monopo? lize the sale of stern necessaries of life. Farmers have the same right to combine, not to demand higher prices and oppress the people with monopolized markets, hut to demand lower rates in open markets ; that in building a co-operative store they propose to inyest their own money and ask nobody but themselves for custom. Mr. P. R. Brown opposed the move? ment. The Grange proposed to do much for the farmers, but they deserted the order before much could be accomplished, He saw in the ranks of the Alliance the same men who had deserted the Grange, and could not expect more of them now than then. Besides, there were not sufficient safeguards thrown around the individual stockholders in this Association ; the busi? ness manager and board of directors may, according to the.resolutions under consid? eration, usurp a controlling influence, and ply the workings of the enterprise to their personal benefit. A few minutes were then spent in solicit? ing subscriptions. Five hundred and sixty dollars were put down by thirty-two persons. Notice was then given that at a call meeting, to take place at 2 o'clock p. m. Saturday, 17th inst., the following pream? ble and resolutions would be offered : Whereas, The County Alliance made overtures to the Board of Trade of Ander? son City, relative to electing a Cotton Weigher for the city of Anderson ; and whereas, the said Board of Trade did, to say the least, treat the said overture with great manifest indifference, and, whereas, the County Alliance did, at a recent meet? ing, elect a Cotton Weigher for the said City. Therefore, be it. Resolved, That we do heartily endorse t)ip action of the County AHianoe. Resolved, That we individually and sever? ally agree to pledge ourselves to patronize the said weigher, by requiring him to weigh each and every bale of cotton we shall sell in or ship from Anderson City. Resolved, That in like manner in reference to the Co-Operative Store, wo pledge our? selves to give it our undivided custom, regardless of detractive advances or con* cessions otherwise made. The meeting then adjourned, and thus closed the day, pleasantly and profitably spent. S. S. Newell, Secretary. TwlggB Items, ? The season for reunions, pic uics and revival meetings has arrived, and our peo? ple are enjoying the same to the fullest extent. The Survivors of Co. "F," 24th S. C. V., held their annual reunion at this place last Wednesday, 31st u)t. Twenty six of the Survivors were present and an? swered to their names. The complete roll of the Company contains one hun? dred and sixty-three names, and seventy four of this number still survive. The Survivors are grcatljr scattered, and arc now residents of the following States: South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis? sissippi, Arkamsas and To;? as. The Secre? tary now has the address of ovory snrviv? log member of the Company, and is au? thorized by the Executive Committee to send cards of invitation to Survivors liv? ing in other States to meet with us nt our next reunion. Capt. J. T. Hanna took charge of the Company, and after they w?ro formed into line, thoy wero marched round and grouped in front of an artist's tent, and, after several trials, an excellent picture of the Company was taken. A large crowd of ladies and friends of the old Company were present, and too fore? noon was spont in pleasant conversation and the recoupting of incidents and re? miniscences of the war. It was decided to have no speeches, and about mid-day Capt. Hanna anuouucod that the hour for opening trunks and baskets had arrived. The ladies took charge of this part of the programme, and tho dinner was tempting enough to attract and satisfy the most fastidious. After dinner tho Company was formed and marched to tho school house, when Capt. C. S. Beaty was called to the chair, and J. B. Leverett was requested to act as Secrotary. Tho minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Tho roll was next callod and it was ascertained that no deaths had oc cured among the Survivors the past year, and after changing the address of some of tho Survivors, the next business in order was selecting a place at which to hold our next meeting. Several places were rut in nomination, and after a vote was taken, it was ascertained that Cook's Station, on tho S. V. R. R, had recoivod a majority of the votes cast. After returning thanks to tho citizens of this community for their kindness and generous hospitality to the Survivors, the meeting adjourned to meet again on Wednesday before tho 4th Sunday in July, 18!>0, at Cook's Sta? tion, S. V. R. K. Tho masons will pic nie at this placo on TKCB^ MUST CrOI BIG lot of Clement, Weil & Ball SHOES at your own price. A line of Soft HATS-cost $2.75?for 50c. each.

It has been arranged f jr the special benefit of the ladies, and everybody is cordially invited to attend and briDg well-filled baskets. Several speakers of prominence will be on hand to address the crowd. It is again our sad duty to record an? other death at this place. Mr. John Car ponter, who had recently moved to this place, died last Sunday after a short but painful illness. He leaves a devoted wife and one son to mourn his untimely death. He was born and raised near Neal's Creek, in this County, and was possessed of many noble qualities of head and heart. The bereaved wife and son have the aym pathy of our community in their great loss. His remains were interred at Neal's Creek on last Monday, the 5th inst. The Alliance will pic nie at Carswell Institute the 17th inst. The public gen? erally are invited to attend. Charles Bafard, an old industrious col? ored man, died last Sunday evening of consumption, on the farm of Capt. McAl ister. Mr. H. M. T?te and Mr. J. C. Hamlin have been improving the appearance of their residences and outbuildings by the application of the painter's brush. All their buildings look neat and cozy. Our section is being well supplied with new buggies by the dealers at Anderson. Almost every other man you meet on the road has a new one. Your correspondent met a colored man in the road drawing one by band, and upon being questioned about it remarked that everybody was buying a buggy and he did not want to be out of the fashion. He admitted that he had no horse to pull it, but thought it best to buy while they were cheap, and attempt to buy a horse at some future time. In taking it home he had to pull it over some hilly roads and swollen streams. The crops in this section are on a boom, and fears are entertained that the cotton will be injured seriously by the protracted wet spell. Everybody has fine crops, and it would be hard to find a farmer who has a crop superior to his neighbor in every particular. Mr. G. W. Long, however, has six acres of new ground corn, which is worthy of special notice. The land was cleared this year after the leaves on the timber were half grown, and now he has corn on the land equal to any bottom land in the County. Every stalk has two ears above the average size. He informs me that the application of compost was light. _ _ O.MEOA. The New Discovery. You have heard your friends and neigh? bors talking about it. You may yourself be one of the many who knows from per? sonal experience just how good a thing it is. If you have ever tried it, you are one of its staunoh friends, because the wonder? ful thing about it is, that when once given a trial, Dr. King's New Discovery ever after holds a place in the house. If you have never used and should be afflicted with a cough, cold or anv Throat, Lung or Chest trouble, secure a bottle at once and give it a fair trial. It is guaranteed every time, or money refunded. Trial Bottles Free at Hill Bros. Drugstore. A Sound Legal Opinion. E. Bainbridge, Munday Esq., County Atty., Clay Co., Tex., says: "Have used Electric Bitters with most happy results.
