Popular prices of admission will be charged, and tickets may be secured in advance at Hill Bros. A meeting will be held at Denver next Tuesday in the interest of a cotton seed oil mill, which it is proposed to erect there in time to utilize the next crop. A notice in reference to the enterprise is published elsewhere, and all who feel interested in it are urged to attend. We hope the meeting will be largely attended, as the establishment of all such enterprises will add to the wealth of our County, and at same timo be a good investment for the individual stockholders. The Greenville News, of Tuesday, sayn: "Capt. John M. Glenn, of Equality, An? derson County, was in the city yesterday. Captain Glenn reports that the citizens in and about Equality are contemplating starting a small cotton seed oil mill, and his visit to the city was^with a view to collecting information that would be of use to the projectors of the enterprise. The idea, Captain Glenn says, is to build a mill to accommodate local needs and it will be built by home capital." At a meeting of the citizens of Pendle? ton on Tuesday sufficient capital was guaranteed to build and equip a canning factory. The following gentlemen were appointed to secure a charter for the Com? pany : H. S. Trescott, J. W. Wofford, J. J. Sitton and J. C. Stribling. A Commit mittee, consisting of M. R. Hunnicutt, H. S. Trescott, M. M. Hunter and J. J. Sitton, was also appointed to select a site and ma? terial for the building. In starting this enterprise Pendleton has done well, for we believe it will be a paying investment. Mr. W. R. Cathcart, of Columbia, rep? resenting the Western Union Telegraph Company, spent Monday night in the city, and completed' thj arrangements for opening the telograph office in tho Hotel Cniquola.

Mr. Sulli? van is not only a No. 1 salesman, but thoroughly understands tho machinory business, and the DeLoach Company has done well to secure him. Tho position was tendered Mr. Sullivan without any solicitation on his part, which is a compli? ment to his business qualities. The Com? pany he will represent is one of the largest saw mill manufactories in the United States. The Greenville Enterprise and Mountain? eer, of lasS week, says: "Lato Saturday afternoon last, Mr. J. Wash Dacus, of Dacus Brothers, doing business at the cor? ner of Main and Cofi'eo Streets, was stricken with paralysis.

Keys' fish pond, two miles west of the city. He and a yuung man named McCully were in k boat enjoying a row over the pond, when the boat, which was an old one, began sinking, and in tho excite? ment ot the moment it upset. Both men went under tho water, and when McCully aroso he, being near the boat, grabbed hold of it and managed to get on top of it. Wnldrop arose, but sank again immedi? ately and was seen no moro alive. Neither of them could swim. Near by happened to be a negro man, who went to McCully's rescue, and, with a rope, pulled him out of the water. The pond was dragged and Waldrop's body was soon brought to the shore. Coroner Nance was at once notified of the occurrence, and went out to the pond and had the remains carried to the home of the deceased near by. On Monday morning the inquest was held and the verdict of the jury was that Waldrop came to his death by acci? dental drowuiug through his own care? lessness. Waldrop was about 23 years of age, and loaves a wife to mourn his death. His remains were interred at New Pros poet Church Monday afternoon. The City of Anderson, Under the above caption, Editor Wal? lace, of the Nowherry Observer, thus speaks of Anderson: Anderson is a lovely place; favored by nature and blessed with a progressive citi? zenship. The stores and residences and public buildings bespeak -wealth, refine? ment and business prosperity. For some years past Anderson has gone forward with rapid strides. Tho County has had good crops, while most other sec? tions have had two or three dry years and short crops. The growth, of business has been very markeo, especially for a year pab't. Already she has received over 20,000 bales of cotton since the 1st of Sep? tember last?an increase of five or six hundred over the previous year. Anderson Is just comploting a 10000 spindle cotton mill and has a cotton seed oil mill that pays good dividends. A joint stock company has completed a con? tract with Roddy <fc Whitner for water works and electric lights, and the work has begun. The most notable thing at Anderson is the new hotel?the "Chiquola." It is a splendid structure, handsomely furnished and is conducted in elegant style, with all modern improvements. It cost about $00,000, and is owned by a joint stock ?company composed of citizens of Ander? son. We are indebted to Mr. Langslon, of the Intelligencer, for courtesies shown us while in his charming city Friday last. "The Magic Wand of Progress." I Anderson is not only considered to be full abreast in ihe march of progress by us, but others se? our development in the saoio light that it is viewed by our own citizens. Capt. E. P. McKissick, the travelling representative of the News and Courier, in an articlo dated April 14th, places Anderson among the "best towns in the South where capital can find the boat and surest return." Capt. MclCis sick farther says: It matters not how often a traveller may visit this progressive city, nor bow many times he may glance at tho multi? plied evidences of growth, he will bo im? pressed with the importance of this place as a commercial and manufacturing cen? tre. New indications of growth and pros? perity aro found, and it has about become an adage hero that 'each day brings forth its new idea that has for its purpose the development of this placo and this Coun? ty.' " The News and Courier editorially speaks of Anderson as having a "very bright and inspiring i'cturc." It also mentions some of the leading enterprises of the city, and concludes by saying: "Add to these enterprises a brand and new modern hotel, improved railroad fa? cilities, and a growing-trade, and it is ap? parent that the people of Anderson . are full of business and are working in a bu? siness way to develop the resources around them, and to make of the old and pleasant town an attractive and prosper? ous city. A fine climate and natural ad? vantages are very well in their way, but a little factory smoke improves a climate wonderfully, and a few artificial advan? tages, with a fair working capital and under intelligent management, will beat natural advantages out of sight in evory race. Anderson is to be congratulated on having learned and applied this lesson so well." Five Forks Items. On last Friday morning my young friend, Monroe Gambrell, came by my mansion and invited me to accompany him to Anderson. So making a hasty toilet, I was soon seated by his side and flying over the road at 2.40 per mile. We were soon joined by Mr. John Gambrell, and all had a pleasant and enjoyable ride, arriving in your beautiful little city be? fore 11 o'clock. Immediately after at? tending to a little postoffice duty, I visited for the first time, the Intelligencer office. I was favorable impressed with the neat, tidy appearance of the office. A business air pervades the whole sanctum. Added to this, is the courteous and socia? ble entertainment of the proprietors, which made me almost at home. On our return we found that Mathias Richardson, Andrew Patterson, Ed. Smith, et al, had just killed a mad dog in the neighborhood. Week before last I killed one myself. I am not certain, however, that the dog I killed was mad, but I was, and the "dog is dead." Monroe while in town bought a bed? stead, and would have got a mattress had the clouds not looked so watery. He would not toll me her name, or when it will happen. Farmers have had another cold, rainy set-back, but they are pulling the string all the harder, and are dotermined to "get theire, Eli." Olivei: has added another good hand to his force. His young mule plows like a top, and his bell gives no uncertain sound. Wheat still looks well. I hear a rumor of rust on the wheat. Havn't seen any. Hope it is a rusty report. Bass, is giving ocular evidence that he is a better farmer than merchant, and that the girl who becomes Mrs. Bass, will never suffer for "hog and hominy." We had a light froBt yesterday morning. Nothing killed. Siunjcs. Honea Path Items. Miss Lillian McGeo has returned from Greenville. Dr. T. A. Hudgons ha3 been sick for several days.

Thoso who have beon taking lessons in penmanship under Prof. Bean are so well pleased with his system that they have induced him to teach another class, and he will begin to do so at tho Koose House this (Thursday) evening.

Easter straw hats were a Jittlo ahead of tho season, but they are casting their re? freshing shadows over many ball knobs now. When "la grippe" takes her finger out of our other car so wo can enjoy our full share of music we will allow their shadow to overspread us while attending nature's grand concort. A branch Building and Loan Associa? tions has been- established here with J, W. Poore President, B. A. Wiison Secre? tary and Treasurer, and D. A. Geer, J. W. Poore and B. A. Wilson Directors. -" A bank is next in order, and is already an almost assured addition to Bolton's new enterprises. The timid whisper has grown to audible tones; and best of all, tho money is within sight. Belton, we venture the assertion, will soon have a People's or Savings Bank. We are indebted to Congressman Coth ran for a copy of Agricultural Report sent us at his lequest; and to Kev. E. C. Rice ofTylor, Texas, for a batch of Texas pa? pers. Thanks to our young friends, Ca? dets D. S. & E. P. Vandiver for a copy of Patrick Military Institute Journal. The Williamston New Era came in last week with noticeable evidence of growth in popular favor. Its headline "Live and Let Live" will allow it to enter a wide field. May it grow to fill the same. Sort. T. R. Allgood, of Belton Academy, has been called home to aid in tho press? ing business on his father's extensive farm. His friends much regret to give him up, but he, like a true soldier, promptly responds to duty's call. Cadets H. M. Allgood and J. T. Dean have boen home on short furloughs. Ca? det Allgood reports that cotton is coming up in Brushy Creek Township, and that farmers are doing their best to keep in tbe lead. A mule and a darkey while planting cotton recently decided to strike. The mule, before leaving the field thought it best to let the darkey inspect his shoes. The strike immediately begun. It ended in a sudden unpleasant separation of the conspirators, a precipitate flight of the mule just a little ahead of the cotton planter, and a very dusty negro with a broken collar bone trying to keep up with a pair of huge eye balls an inch in front of a face that bore unmistakable proofs of a conviction that a mule won't do to depend ou when his Mad legs come feet foremost ovor the rear of a cotton planter that a darkoy is innocently trying to prevent entangling the feet of the mule suddenly backing from some objectiona? ble creature in front. A. J. Stringer claims to have the cham? pion .milk cow of the State. She daily pays tbe demand of the milkman from three to five gallons of milk, but has the undesirable appearance of an animal that neither cats nor drinks. Mrs. Mary Geer expects to have tbe first Irish potatoes here this season. Judging from present prospect wo think she will not be disappointed. The Quarterly Conferonco at the Meth? odist Church was largely attended Satur? day and Sunday, 12th and 13th inst. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Wroton, and the Pre? siding Elder, Rev. J, Walter Dipkson, conducted tbe services. Pour members were added to the Church. A warm welcome is extended to Mr. J. D. Campbell who has come back to Bel? ton after a pleasant and profitable stay of Eeveral monthB in Nashville, Tenn. Farmers hereabouts are driving the cotton planter with a rush this week. Dr. J. F. Shirley and Miss Emma Clink scalos will be united in the holy bonds of matrimony in the Baptist Church on Wednesday, 29th inst., at G o'clock p. m. We understand no cards will be issued, ?.nd that all the friends of the popular couple are invited to attend. Rain and rest last week gave us an op? portunity to shake the hands of many of the farmers around Belton. They are making up lost time this week. Hardly are they willing to atop with a word of sympathy for the unfortunates that "La Grippe" has turned over to that puffing fellow, "mumps." My 1 what a fat time many of the young people are experienc? ing. I>rs. Harris, Holcomb and Todd are rejoicing over tho rest much needed after their unprecedented practice among their "La Grippe" patients. The Directors of the Oil Mill met with a special commisuion of three experienced mill men invited here to aid the Belton Directors in perfecting some important portion of their plans for building and operating. These gentlemen, experts, from North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina, soon reviewed the plans; and, among other valuable suggestions in con? nection with their decisions on points referred to thorn, sot forth the practical ad? vantages of changing tho location from the site first selected to that now occupied by the mill of Rico Bros., and further ad? vised purchasing the mill property at a price .that the Company could afford to give, and Rice Bros, to take. The Direc? tors' purpose in having this commission was to become so well posted as to be able to guard against mistakes that might be detrimental to the interests of the mill. The commission so strongly advising the change of Bite and purchase, the Directors, after duly considering the matter, decided to adopt the suggestions; and later agreed with Rice Bros, on terms for the purchase. The transaction will be fully settled when ratified by the stockholders, which, no doubt, will be done at the meeting called for that purpose next Saturday. Miss Mattio Brown is home again from a short visit to Greenville. Judge W. F. Cox paid Belton a flying visit Sunday. Dr. H. W. Todd wont with Carroll Lati mer, son of A. C. Latimer, to Atlanta last week to have a surgical operation per? formed on Carroll's face. The troublo some unnatural growth, in one nostril, was successfully removed. Mrs. Mary Geer has favored us with some fine radishes. They were beautiful and much enjoyed. Dr. Manly was with his congregation, and gave them a good sermon, as he usu? ally does, Sunday. Kaita, Facts from Iva. That Mr. L. E. Hall, familiarly known as "Primus," because his progressive methods accord so well with the principles of agriculture, as expounded by that emi? nent agriculturist, Primus Jones, has Iiis entire crop of corn and cotton planted, and has good stands of each. He has several improved varieties of cotton seed, and has conducted quite a business in selling and exchanging these with the farmers of this section. That additional evidence has been adduc? ed to prove the almost complete infrangible ness of a negro's cranium. On Wednesday of last week Ncal Price (col.) shot himself while loading a pistol. Tho ball, which was of 38 calibre" struck him in tho fore? head, above the left eye and ranged around near the temple. He walked a mile to (he physician's residence, and, without takiug au amcsthetic, underwent the operation of having the ball?flattened so much by the percussion as to resemble a half bullet?re? moved, without evincing any signs of pain. He afterwards walked unassisted to his home. That one can better appreciate the faith? ful services of the meek-cyed, yoke galled ox after havingbeeu annoyed for the space of two weeks with a carbuncle about that part that fashion has decreed shall bp im? mured by a shockingly close-fitting, sonl distrcssing standing collar. We never be? longed to tho still-necked and rebellious people, but were forced to become so be? cause of his carbuncleship's unjust de? mands?stiff-necked to satisfy such de? mands, but rebellious to any such despot? ism. ' Such a calamity would have more properly befallen some of our evil predict? ing weather prognosticators, to recall their minds from ethcrial reflections to things more commonplace, yet more substantial. That the art of angling has been relegated to the domain of the fine arts, such is the amount of piscatorial knowledge and skill required. Several of our villagers have beeu planning for some time to go afishiug, During the recent wot spell they decided Co set out whenever the rain should cease and did. Upon their return they were|presscd to show some proof of their success. After searching awhile among their belongings they produced a paltry number of the finny tribe that had in all probability escaped through the meshes of a seine only the day before, but had unwittinglg allowod theui selvos to be captured. We were told by the members of this party that they had hit upon an unfavorable time for the trial of their skill; because the waters had subsided too much for one kind of fish and were too muddy for another.
