Abbeville Medium .- ?'Miss Hopkins of Seneca and Miss Wutson of Anderson were in town last Saturday. They were as lovely a pair of charming women as we have ever seen, one was as queenly, as the other was bewitching petite, and two pairs of beantiful eyes looked modestly uncon cious as a host of our people admired the in that day. Rev. Dr. Frierson, accompanied by Mrs. Frierson, has gone to Florida where two or three weeks will be spent with the hope of recuperating the health of the latter,' who has been quite feeble for several months past.

Wardlaw, Esq , our new School Com rnissioner, has been authorized by the County Commissioners to rent the office on the gronnd floor between Orr & Sloan's drugstore and the Ladies Store.

Our young friend, Chas. D. Brown, who has for a year or more been the station Agent at Alston, on the C. & Q. R. R., has been transferred to Abbeville, and is now in charge of the depot at that place. Mr. Brown is a faithful officer, and is held in high esteem by tbe railroad officials.

Rauson and his lovely bride, of Mecklenburg County, N. 0., are now .visiting tbe former's uncle, Mr. Wm Ban son, in this County.

The couple will spend abont two weeks in tbe County. Mr. A. P. Williams, of Pendleton Town? ship, a few days ago killed a 13-montbs' old pig of bis own raising that netted him 478 pounds of meat. Who can beat this ? Mr. Williams is one of our best farmers. He produces all of bis meat, corn and other provisions at home, and makes cot? ton a surplus crop. He never gives a lien or mortgage, pays cash for everything he buys, and, as a consequence, is free of debt. His example is worthy of imitation. Seneca Free Press: "The delegates of Anderson and Pickens Counties in the late State Conventions have united in re? questing Hon- W. D. Mayfield, who has been elected as State Superintendent of Education, to appoint Mr. D. H. Russell, the retiring School Commissioner of An? derson County, as Chief Clerk in his office, and there is a strong probability that tbe appointment will be made. Mr. Russell will make a very efficient Chief Clerk for the Superintendent of Educa? tion." Our good frisnd, Mr. J. M. Dunlap, of the Honea Path section, came in to see us Monday, and we were sorry to see him suffering from an old wound which he received in the back of his bead at Chan cellorsville on the morning after Gen. Jackson was killed. Mr. Dunlap was the last color-bearer in Orr's Regiment, and, though young in years, was one or the most faithful and bravest soldiers in the Regiment. During the war he was shot in five different places on Mis body. Ever since the war this wound in tbe bead has occasionally given him pain. We hope he will soon find some remedy that will give him permanent relief. The following Jurors have been drawn to serve at the extra term of Court, which convenes on Wednesday, 10th inst: John H.

A large' crowd of people were attracted to theoity on Salesday, though, owing to the low price of cotton, business was not as good as usual on Salesday. The horse swappers were numerous, and much trad? ing was done among them The Master sold six or seven tracts of land, and all of it brought good prices. Tbe estate of J. B. Orr was divided into three tracts. Tract No. 1, containing 56 acres, was sold for $?,000; tract No. 2, containing 68 acres. $1,000; and tract No. 4, containing 45 acres. $500. In the case of Chapman vs. Wiles, a tract of 130 acres was Bold for $1,500. In the case of Snipes v s, Hale, a tract con? taining 60 acres sold for $995. The 61 acres in tbe case of Jones vs. Jones sold for $700. A lot in Belton containing one half of acre, in the case of Sutherland vs Young, was bid off at $150. These prices eeun to indicate that there is no scarcity of money in this section. The Greenville News, of last Saturday, says : "There is considerable talk by peo Sle living in the neighborhood of Fort [ill of petitioning the Legislature to es? tablish a new Couuty to be known as Cal houn, of which tbe town of Fort Hill, a mile from tbe Clemson College, shall be the County seat. Fort Hill is IS miles from tbe County seats of Pickens, Ander? son and Oconee, and it is proposed to form the new County out of portions of these Counties, making it 18 miles square. It is understood that the Clemson College authorities are in favor of the scheme, and if the matter is brought before the Legislature will urge its passage. The town of Fort Hill is on tbe Richmond & Danville Railroad, and students and others going to Clemson will get off the trains at that point. The Government has established a post office there, and Mrs. Mary E. Carey has been appointed post? mistress. There is every prospect that Fort Hill will develop, into a prosperous town." Tbe next attraction in Anderson will be the "Little Nugget" Comedy Company, j which will appear in the Opera House i next Saturday evening. The Company comes very well recommended to Mana [ ger Hill, and should be greeted by a large audience. This is what the Paducan, Ky., I Standard, of the 16th ult., says of tbe Com j puny : "In spite of the inclemency of the weather, there was a large audience at the Opera House Saturday night to see the Cawthorns in 'Little Nugget." Those who attended-were exceedingly well pleas? ed with the play and company. Herbert Cawthorneas "O'Brady" and Joe Caw thorne as "Kumpler" made distict hits and their appearance was a signal for universal applause. Miss Gilmore, as "Little Nug? get," was all that could be possibly expect? ed, her dancing being of the highest order. Taken as whole, the performance was a good one and those who failed to attend missed one of the best attractions of the season. A return engagement will proba? bly be played later in the season." Reserv? ed seats now on sale at Hill Bros. The Pioneer Fire Company celebrated its seventh anniversary with a banquet at the Chiquola last Thursday night, and throughout was a most enjoyable occasion. The Pioneers met in their hall, and about 9 o'clock, accompanied by the members of the Independent Hook and Ladder Com? pany and other invited guests, marched to the Chiquola and immediately took their seats around the festive buard in the beautiful dining hall. In the absence of Chief F. A. Spellman, who had been un? expectedly called away from tbe city, ex Chief Divver presided, and delivered a short address of welcome to the invited guests. The bill of fare. was a lengthy one, and the brave firemen with their guests partook heartily of the many good things spread before them. There were no regular set toasts for the evening, but at the conclusion of the feast the following gentlemen were called upon and respond? ed in a few remarks: Mayor Tolly, Maj. E. P. McKissick, of the News and Courier, Ex-Mayor Tribble, Capt. G. M, Tolly of the Hook and Ladder Company, Messrs. C. C. Langston, R. R. Todd, D. H. Rus? sell, J. W. Quattlebaum and C. Wardlaw. The speeches concluded the programme of the evening, and tho guests retired, uttering many words of praise about the Pioneers for the excellent manner iu which they had mnnaged the occasion. Last Thursday morning, before the sun had shown itself in the East, we drove out of tbe city in company with C. Ward law, Esq., our destination being the home of our clever friend, John L. Jolly, in Centreville Township. It was a cold, frosty morning, and in a little more thau an hour's time we reached Mr. Jolly's. Our friend and his excellent wife had pre? pared a fine breakfast for us, which was heartily partaken of. At this juncture, another clever friend, Mr. W. J. Herabree, who iB a near neighbor to Mr. Jolly, put in appearance. As is well known, Messrs. Jolly and Hembreo, owu a line pack of English beagles, and the main object of our trip was to enjoy a hunt with these dogs. We were soon in the fields, and for the nest few hours we enjoyod fiue sport racing rabbits. The beagles run the game altogether by scent, and when the ground is a little damp they can soon capture a rabbit. The beagle is a small, pretty dog, and is very fleet-footed. We had several fine races, and when ?e returned to the house we were in good trim to enjoy the fine Thanksgiving dinner which Mrs. Jolly spread before us. The afternoon we spent in hunting birds. The day's sport was highly enjoyed, and we will not soon for? get the kindness of friends Jolly and Hembree- These gentlemen have several fine young beagles for sale at reasonable prices. Mr. Jolly is one of Anderson County's best citi/ens, and is the father of six bright children, who, with his noble wife, make up a bappy household. The South Carolina Conference. Last week we gave the organization of the Con ference, which adjourned on Tues? day of this week. We regret that our space is so limited as to preclude us from giving a full report of the acts and doings of this body. It bas been a great treat to the citizens nf Anderson, and our peo? ple have enjoyed it. Thanksgiving Day was observed, and Service? were conducted in the Methodist Church by Dr. Norton, and in the Presby? terian Church by Rev. A. Coke Smith, D. D. A great many travelling and local preachers have been admitted to Deacon's orders, and many new applications made, and those already in classes advanced. ~Tbis bas been one of the busiest sessions ever held, and it was only by push and energy that the end was reached. On last Sunday morning Bishop Dun? can preached from the Methodist pulpit, Dr. Wells, of Charleston, from the BaptiBt pulpit, and Dr. R. D. Smart from the Presbyterian pulpit. Sunday afternoon Rev. J. A. Clifton, of Greenville, ad? dressed the Y. M. C. A. in the Opera House. At the Baptist Church a Sunday School Mass Meeting was held in the afternoon, at which interesting talks were made by several members of the Confer? ence. Sunday night Dr. A. Coke Smith preached a masterly sermon at the Bap? tist Church, Rev. John ?. Carlisle preach? ed at the Presbyterian Church, and Rev. Geo. W. Walker at the Methodist Church. All the Churches were well attended Sun? day, and those attending were well paid for their attendance. The session on Monday was devoted al? most entirely to routine work, and from the way the members worked it was evi? dent that they desired to get through their business that night. The Conference remained in session until 11 o'clock that night, and was forced to adjourn until next morning. Tuesday morning a number of the delegates left for their homes, but the Conference did not finish its business un? til after 1 o'clock p. m. Laurens, Chester j and Darlington were put in nomination as I the place of meeting for the next session, and the latter place was chosen on the first ballot.

Bishop Duncan is ono of the best pre? siding officers we have ever seen at the head of any organization. It is generally conceded?especially by the good women, who are the best judges ?that the Conference was composed of the handsomest set of men ever assem? bled in Anderson in any capacity. The many friends of Revs. J. E. Car? lisle, H. F. Chrietzberg, W. W. Mood, W. S. Wightman and S. A. Weber, former pastors of the Anderson Church, were de? lighted to greet them, and to see all cf them enjoying such good health. It was the first visit of many of the del gates to Anderson, and a large number of them thought the place a little one horse town. We believe, however, they have gone from us favorably impressed with Anderson, and convinced that we have one of the liveliest and most pro? gressive towns in the State. One of the most commanding members of the body was Dr. Kirkland, the accom? plished editor of the Southern Christian Ad? vocate. Dr. Kirkland has made the Advo? cate one of tbe best religious papers pub? lished in our whole country, and the South Carolina Methodists have just cause to be proud of it. We do not see how'any Methodist in the State can do without its weekly visits. Among the lay delegates weie Maj. Riddle, of the Lancaster Review, and R. T. Jaynes, Esq., of the Walhalla Courier, The latter gentleman honored the Intel? ligencer with a call, and we were glad to meet him. He is one of Walhalla's most prominent young lawyers. On Friday afternoon the Conference was given a ride over the city in carriages. The members seemed to enjoy the ride, and were loud in their praises of our growing city. Dr. E. E. Hoss, editor of the Nashville Christian Advocate, the general organ of the Southern Methodist Church, was introduc? ed to the Conference on Friday. He seem? ed perfectly at home with his South Caro? lina brethren. Only one preacher has died during the year?the Rev. E. J. Meynardie, D. D. Rev. H. M. Majors was transferred to the Northwest Texas Conference. He left Anderson last Tuesday afternoon for his new home, and will at once begin work in the Cor si can a District on Keren's Circuit. For the past year he has been at work on the Georgetown Circuit. Mr. Major is an Anderson County boy, and has a host of friends in our midst who regret to see him leave the South Carolina Conference, but wherever he may cast his lot he will carry with him their prayers and best wishes. The very large crowd that greeted Rev. A. Coke Smith, D, D., in the Baptist Church Sunday night attests his popular? ity in Anderson. The Church and annex were crowded to their utmost capacity, the congregation being estimated at from 1200 to 1500 persons. The sermon was, of course, both eloquent and impressive. The Doctor's appearance indicates that Yander bilt University and Nashville are agreeing with him. The Orangeburg District is fortunate in getting Rev. J. Walter Dickson for its Pre? siding Elder. Mr. Dickson has been in charge of the Greenville District for the past four years, and. were it possible, we know tbe people of this District would like to have had bis services for another four years. He is a most zealous, energetic worker in tbe Lord's vineyard, and keeps bis Churches moving forward all the time. Bishop Duncan has more than pleased tbe Anderson Methodists in giving them the services of Rev. Chas. B. Smith for another year. Capt. D. G. Ruff, one of Fairfield's most substantial and prosperous citizens, was numbered among the lay delegates. While here he met up with several of his old war comrades whom he had not seen since the war. He is a genial, jolly gentleman, as well as an active, earnest Christian. Mr. George W. Williams, of Charleston, was a member of the Conference. On Monday a telegram was received an? nouncing the death of Rev. Wm. Thomas, which occurred that morning at Florence.

The citizens of Belton ex? tend a welcome to Mr. Grubbs and his family, which contains two charming ad? ditions to local social circles in the persons of his two young daughters, Misses Anna and Maggie Grubbs. An accidental tire Saturday afternoon destroyed tbe stables of J. M. Geer, aud with them a horse and a mule, inflicting a total loss of about $350. The dwelling houses of W. C. Lee and Dr J. M. Hol combe became ignited from flying sparks, but no appreciable damage other than that alone mentioned was caused. The fire probably dated its origin to burning leaves, which were carried into the stable. Services were held Thanksgiving Day iu the Baptist Church. Rev. J. T. Smith preached an excellent sermon to a very good congregation. Tbe stores of the town closed their doors from 11 to 2. Rev- R. H. Smith, of Andetsou, lectured last Wednesday night to an interested au? dience at Dorchester Church, and Friday night in the Belton Baptist Church. Tbe entertaining qualities of a lecture, whose subject matter was iu itself exceedingly Interesting, were heightened by the elo? quent and pleasing delivery of the speaker. "America as it is" produced a very favora? ble impression. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Latimer left Monday for Ocala, Fla., where they will remain some time. Thos. M. Chromer, of Abbeville Coun? ty, has been visiting friends near Belton. Mrs. Anna L. Brown has changed her residence to Greenville, much to the regret of our citizens generally, Her house is occupied by J, K. Breazeale and family. Mr- Breazeale will take charge of Mrs. Brown's farm, near Belton. Belton has, on a small scale, been expe? riencing a genuine strike. Several days ago Mr. Latimer, President of the Cotton Seed Oil Mill, slightly reduced the wages of half a dozen negro laborers, connected with the ginning department of this es? tablishment. These laborers ceased work and endeavored to organize a boycott against the mill, Gne Albert Ellis, re? fusing to quit the employ of the mill, be? came a subject for the anger of the strikers, who held a meeting and resolved to flog Ellis if he did not sever his connection with his employers. Ellis refused, and the strikers proceeded to visit him Thanks? giving Day, presumably with hostile in? tent, The collapse of this demonstration was brought about by the prompt arrest of the the ring-leader of the strike, who was placed under a ?500 peace bond. Mean? while other la-borers have been secured at the mill It is learned that the participants in the circus row here November 24th will be prosecuted. Developments in the case show that a crowd of belligerent inhabi? tants of Greenville County tormed a plan to come over here and bulldoze the town by terrorizing the "auti-Tillman" police force. From this motive resulted what appears to have been an unjustifiable as? sault upon negro visitors. The political enthusiasm of these intoxicated reformers has doubtless by this time materially sub? sided. The wounded negro is recovering. Flynn's success in Anderson is certainly wonderful. His store is crowded from morning until late at night. He is cer? tainly selling more goods than any other merchant iu the city. He had to go North a second time this season for more goods, which no other merchant in An? derson did. His prices are far below any other house?the straws show which way the wind blows. Go and see him if you want bargains, and he will save you mouoy. Honen Path. Mr. J- A.. Brook, of Auderson, and Mr. W. C. Brock and family, of Due West, took Thanksgiving dinner with their mother here. Thursday morning, as a train was mov? ing into town three boys concluded to jump on and take a little ride, not knowing that it was a through freight, but they soon found it was bound for some other station, when the grade had been ascended and the speed rapidly increased. They could not bear the idea of leaving here without tell? ing friends and loved ones goodbye, so they let loose their hold on the freight boxes and met their fate as best they could When we last saw them they were hu ine watch chains and vest buttons. Mr. Matthew Davis one day last week lost two hundred and twenty-five dollan in money from his pocket. He was on road between his home and Wilson's woo! factory.

On Friday last the first business lot on Savannah Street, in the town of Calhou Falls, was sold for $200 by the Western Carolina Land and Improvement Com pany at their office. The purchaser pre ferring to select his lot so as to enable him to build at an early day, unwilling to wait until the lot could be assigned to him under the announcement of $150 fo one lot and one share of stock, which, on the monthly payments of 10 per cent, per month, would require ten months before the lot could be assigned to the purchaser In order to encourage rapid building the Company has reserved an equal number of lots to the number offered with one share of stock, so that all who contemplate building may be enabled to select their lots at once. Several subscriptions for lots and stock have since been received at the Company's office, and it is confidently expected that in the course of thirty days the one thousand lots, with one share of stock for $150, for lot and share of stock, will be subscribed for. The Com pany proposes to apply sales to improve meats in the town, locating enterprises &c, and in every way aid the rapid build ing of a modern and progressive city. It is true that some people are slow to realize what the future has in store for all who may invest in this, the first enter prise of that character in our portion of the State, but the very near future will prove the magnitude of the enterprise, the possibilities of a location where all the features combined for the building of large and prosperous city are so highly favorable, and where the combined efforts for the accomplishment of the highest re suits possible will play such a prominent part in the building or the town. Turn in what direction we may, and we find im provements and developments, now life new efforts, new conditions and new en terprises springing up all over the South Localities heretofore unknown and with out prominence, are springing into ex istence as if by magic, and very often the most pretentious are attracting very little or no attention at first when in their in cipiency, but when developments begin to take place, and property in ready de? mand at much higher figures than the original offering, it is then only, when these would-be investors begin to under? stand the real movements are willing to take hold freely at advanced figures. To illustrate: In some of the new towns in the South, when first started, some eight months ago, business lots that were offered at $500 per lot did not sell as read? ily then as they do now at $1,500 and $2,000 per lot, and why is the taking at such advanced figures more freely? Sim? ply because the evidences of development and the earnestness of the promoters in carrying out all their plans became appa? rent, in consequence of which investors would rush to select choice properties. That property will advance rapidly at Calhoun Falls, there is no doubt, because the natural advantages are not to be ex? celled anywhere in the entire South, the Railroad facilities exceptional, the agri? cultural lands the finest in the South, and lastly the combined effort to utilize all these advantages cannot fail in the build? ing of a more prosperous and much larger commercial and industrial center than the most sanguine can even contemplate to? day. The Company is now ready to receive subscriptions on the first plan offered, and to sell to parties who contemplate build? ing and grow up with the town. Mr. O. Geisberg, the Manager, aud - Col. J. D. Maxwell, the Secretary and Treasurer, will be found at the Company's office ready to give all information desired re? garding the enterprise. Real Estate For Sale.
