It con? tained a well-written and illustrated de? scription of the town of Blacksburg, and its business men and enterprises. We extend our congratulations to Bro. Grist. It is greatly to be desired that the sow? ing of large crops of oats and wheat will not be too much delayed this fall. If this is neglected the farmers will be t he losers.

Men that advertise are anxious to sell their goods. They buy them to sell, and do not propose to lot them remain.on the shelves and get old. Knowing that they have goods that will give"" satisfaction, they want others to know it too. Such men realize that they must stand by what is stated in their advertisements, and are - ready to give customers bargains. Keep an eye on our advertising cpluraD*. The Trenton correspondent of the Charleston World, Undot date of 26th ult., says: ?Mr. 0. D.

Last Saturday was certainly a big day in Anderson, and from early morning until late at night our business men had all they could attend to. There were 554 bales of cotton sold in the city, being the largest receipts our market has ever had on any one day before, and far ahead of the receipts of any other town or city in upper Carolina on that day. As a market in which to sell your cotton and buy your supplies, Anderson can't be excelled in the State. Bring your cotton here and try our market. At the regular meeting Anderson Divis? ion, Sons of Temperance, the following officers were eleoted to serve the ensuing quarter; Worthy Patriarch, W. F. Cox; -Worthy Associate, J. W.

Dodd; Assis? tant Conductor, Clarence Tolly ; Inside Sentinel, J. T. Lawrence; Outside Sen? tinel, Willie Tolly; Past Worthy Patri? arch, R. W. Brown. Perhaps Jiot many pfeopie haVe observed the fact that Anderson is filled up with young business men. Indeed, we doubt if there is a city or town in the State in which such a large percentage of the busi? ness is done by young men. Our leadiDg merchants, cotton buyers and progressive men generally are in almost every case men not yet past the. meridian of life, and many of them still under thirty. This, no doubt, is the secret of our wonderful pro? gress and spirit of go aheadativeness which characterizes Anderson. Keep the ball going, boys, we will get there Eli I Mr. J. R. Smith, who moved from thiB County to Pickens County, Ala., three years ago, in sending his. subscription to the Intelligencer, writes us as follows : "I am well pleased with my adopted home, and am now gathering a fine crop. Land is very cheap here?from one to six dollars an acre?and those of my friends in old Anderson County who do not own land would do well to come out here. We have good health, good water and plenty of lumber. A South Carolinian, however, will never lose his love for his old mother State, no matter where he may cast bis fortune." Mr. W. J. Ballard, of Piercetown, called in to see us last Saturday and paid for his Intelligences, and in a conversation told us he had in his possession a powder horn which was used by his grandfather in the Revolutionary War. He esteems it very highly as a r6lic. Mr Ballard is a native of Transylvania County, N. C, having moved.to Anderson County about sqven years ago. He is a hard-working, upright man, and is a successful farmer. Ho raises his own supplies and makes cot? ton a surplus, consequently he is out of debt and has sufficient provisions on hand to make another crop. Last Friday night Policeman McKin ney arrested a negro named John Cald well, who claims to be from Laurena, fdr carrying a concealed weapon. The officer secured the pistol, and started to the sta? tion house with the prisoner. On the way the latter resisted and attempted to cut the officer with a pocket knife. Mr. McKinney leveled his pistol on him and told him to drop the knife, which he did at once. He was then locked up, end on Saturday morning Mayor Tribble sen? tenced him to pay a fine of $30.00, or work thirty days on the streets. He is now at work on the streets, with a ball and chain tohi8leg. The Secretary of State has issued a com-r mission for the corporation of the Ander? son Warehouse and Manufacturing Com? pany.

Brown & Sons have a new advertisement in this paper, to which we would call especial attention. These* gentlemen have thoroughly equipped themselves for the fall ana winter trade, and are not afraid of their'1 competitors. Their stock embraces everything under the head of general merchandise, and every department is full and complete, As Is well known, they occupy the two commodious store rooms just below the Masonic Temple.

Editobs Intelligencer : Children must have their social festivities as well as the grown up people. Hence, we fre? quently hear of Childrens' Day in the Sabbath School, and frequent gatherings of the children In the common schools of the country. The older people who have participated in these social gatherings of the children have enjoyed and appreciated them as excellent trainers of the children in social etiquette, and full of fun for the little men and women of the day. One of the most enjoyable seasons of the kind we ever participated in was recently held at the house of W. A. Neal, of An? derson County, on Saturday evening, the 28th September; in honor of the 10th an? niversary'of the birth of their only son, W. A., Jr. At the hour of 5 o'clock p. m. the clans began to gather from every quarter of the neighborhood, robed in white and purple and blue on the part of the girls, and the plain and becoming costume of the farmer boys. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Neal were ready to receive them and extend to each and all of the guests a hearty greeting. The gueBts, for the most part, embraced the school age, thorn six to sweet sixteen, chaperoned by Mrs. W. A. Neal, Mrs. T. H. R?ssel I and Mrs.- J. B. 'Neal. At an early hour re? freshments were served for the children, so that there would be no interruption to the enjoyment of the evening later on.' The new room which Mr. Neal has lately erected, of suitable dimensions, was cleared for the occasion, and the chil? dren were invited to take, possession and make themselves as happy as possible, and right well and bravely did they enter upon the enjoyments of the evening. Joe Ligon, the violinist, soon arrived, and as soon as he began to draw his bow across the strings of the fiddle, the little children could not help keeping time to the sweet strains of music. They entered upon the dance, and yet it was not a dance, but rather a romp, and when it came to the command "promenade all," a more laughable scene never greeted the eyes of tie writer. The variety of the music was not so grand, but it was "continuous," and that pleased the children. Mr. Bags dale entered into the merriment of the occasion, and would have all the chil? dren, even to the least, to take part. The chaperons stood around, and as the little creatures would fall out of the play over? come with sleep, it was a part of their duty to put them to bed. W. A., Jr., was the hero of the occasion, and many presents were showered upon him, as a reminder that he had arrived at the first station on the road of human life. The little girls were especially care? ful to-bestow upon him their attention. Everybody, from the grey-bearded veteran, who had traveled the rugged road of hu? man life almost to its close, to the little six-year-old, as happy, happy. Mr. and Mrs^W. A. Neal will be long remembered for their kindness and hospi? tality to the children on the occcasion. T. H. Ii. A good Milch Cow, with young calf, for j sale by J. N.

J"02STBS3 SEYBT <fe CO., The Regulators and Controllers of Lqw Prices TO THE PEOPLE OF ANDERSON COUNTY. The Firm of Bieckley, Brown & Co. was organized in 1872, continued in' business for eight years, being succeeded by Bleckley, Brown & Fretwell, who conducted the business for eight more years, and who in turn were succeeded by Sylvester Bleckley Co., the present Firm, which was organized last year, and of which two of the members of the old Firms still figure as the leading lights, our Senior, Mr. Bleckley, having been a member of several other Firms before those named, since and before the war. He still holds the reigns of government, and we trust will for many years to come. In this last new Firm arrangement we have combined the wis? dom and experience of the older ones, with the vim and enthusiasm of the younger. The business of the different Firms have prospered, our trade having constantly increased, even beyond our most sanguine expectations, each year showing a marked increase. We feel that all this success has been accomplished largely by our strict attention to business, and treating our customers politely, selling them Goods at reasonable prices. ? Now, Ladies and Gentlemen, we come before you again with a large, well and carefully selected stock of Goods, and ask for your continued patronage, promising in the outset that we will meet any prices you may have quoted you by any other house in the trade. It costs but very little more for us to handle $150,000 worth of Goods a year than it costs to handle $75,000, having reduced our expenses to the very lowest minimum. We do not promise to sell you Goods at or below cost, as we do not propose to do busi? ness for glory, and cannot afford to work for nothing and board ourselves. We propose to charge only a fair and legitimate profit on our Goods, which you should be willing to pay. But we buy our Goods so much cheaper thau other people do. As an illustration, we will tell you confidentially what occurred last week, and these instances are not rare by any means: The proprietor of a large Shoe Factory from Asheville, N. C, called on our shoe-buyer last week, stating that he had 1500 cases Brogons and Women's Shoes that he was obliged to sell. The following con? versation then ensued: Our Buyer?If we cau buy theae Good3 and sell them to our trade at 25 per cent, less than the price you sell to merchants at, will take them. Factory Man?Werl, I have got to sell them, and you can have them ; but you ought not to sell them for less than you sell the Gainesville Shoes at, for niv gorls are as good or better. Suyee?But in order to"get rid of this big lot of Goods', I will haye to make a drive on them and slaughter them, I am going to sell.the Ladies' Shoe, that you wholesale at $1.15, to my customers at $1.00. and the Children's Shoest that you sell at 90c, I will have to put down to 75c, and the Men's Shoes at $1.20, that you get ?1.40 for at wholesale.
