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

tion house with the prisoner. On the

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.

bad the pleasure of going through this
establishment, and inspecting the new

the Northern markets, and has purchased
the largest, stock of goods he has ever
shown in Anderson. He secured many
bargains in every department, and he
proposes to give his customers the benefit
of them. His stock embraces everything
to be found in a first-class general mer?
cantile establishment. He has but one
price, and proposes to Bell strictly for
cosh, which will enable him to sell at a
very close .profit. Mrs. Sloan, whose

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.

A Woinan'fi Discover?.
"Another wonderful discovery has been
made and that too by a lady in this
county. Disease fastened its clutches upon
her and for seven years she withstood its
severest tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed imminent.
For three months sbe coughed incessantly
and could not sleep. She bought of us a
bottle of King's New Discovery for Con?
sumption and was so much relieved on
taking first dose that she -slept all night
and with one bottle has been miraculously
cored, Her name is Mrs. Luther Lntz."
Thus write W. C. Hamrick & Co., of
Shelby, N. C?Get a free trial bottle at
Hill Bros'. Drug Store. 2
The Yerdlct Unanimous.
W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind., tes?
tifies : "I can recommend Electric Bitters
as the very best remedy. Every bottle
sold has given relief in every case, One
man took six bottles, and was cured of
Rheumatism of 10 years' standing."
Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio,
affirms: "The best selling medicine I have
ever handled in my 20 years' experience, is
Electric Bitters," Thousands of others
have added their testimony, so that the
verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters
do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys
or Blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at
Hill Bros.' Drng Store.

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. This is 20 j>er cent less than the Gaines
ville Shoe cost us.
We have on hand and in stock now?
DRY GOODS..\.$15,000
GROCERIES. 5,000
SHOES . 5,000
BAGGING and TIES. 5,000
600 BARRELS FLOUR. 3.000

Total.$38,000
Which are by far the largost stocks of any of its different kind ever brought to Anderson. Our Store aud our Warehouses will have
to be unloaded, and no better opportunity was ever offered the people of Anderson County to buy Goods so cheap. ,
In the Dry Goods line we liave the following bargains to offer: All wool, plain Flannels for 10c, Heavy wool twill Flannel
for 25c; all of the newest shades in Cashruores and Henriettas at 25c to 75c; Eider Down Flannels, new designs; handsomest lines
of Table Linen from 25c to $1.00 per yard ; Towels from 10c to $L.00 per pair; best Jeans in the market at 25c,\ a perfect bonanza ; 3
cases Blankets from $1.25 to $10.00 per pair; all wool Skirts for Ladies for 75c, worth $1.00; a nice job Jot of Mohair Lustre Dress
Goods, double width, lor 25o. You can't buy them anywhere else for less than 50c. Clothing in abundance at prices to suit you.
Any trade you make at our Big Stores is settled for by giving you the exact change that your bill calls for. We keep orders on
the United States Mints at Washington and Philadelphia for our change, aud expect to be plentifully provided with it all times.
