Dr. J. O. Lindsay, of Due West, the elo? quent theologian who defended Dr. Wood row at the assembly in Baltimore a year or two ago, was in the city a few hours Wed? nesday morning. The Doctor has been preaching to large audiences at Midway, where a protracted meeting is in progress. He left Dr. Riley to conduct the meeting. Mr. Homer Reed, of the Atlanta Evening Journal, spent a few minutes in our office Tuesday evening. Mr. Reed is try? ing to introduce the Journal to our people, which, by-the-way, is one of our brightest exchanges. It is Thad. E. Horton's paper, and the people over here will not be sur? prised at it reaching the highest degree of success. Mr. John B. Nevitt, of Burnett, Texas, and his sister, Mrs. Priscilla Smith, are visiting relatives here. Formerly they were citizens of Anderson. Mr. Nevitt left here in 1849.

It is quite ornamental.?Rartwell Sun. : A New York clergyman, meeting one of his female parishioners dressed in deep black, tried to console her. by saying: "You have no idea how I regret to see you wearing those Bad habiliments of woe."

On reliable authority it -is reported that a colored man from Pendleton, thought to be drinking, became troublesome on the out-going late train one evening last week, and.before he could be put off he received a severe blow on the head and bled pro? fusely.

Fisher, a well known and highly respected citizen of Martin Town? ship, died on August 15th, after a few days sickness, and was buried next day in First Creek cemetery. He was a mem? ber of the Baptist Church for many yean , and lived a consistent Christian life. He was about fifty-five years old. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn their loss. We regret that every young man in Anderson did not hear ..the sermon preached last Sunday night in the Baptist Church by Mr. Parish. The subject was "A man with the Spirit of God in him." Joseph was held up as an example of such a man. He demonstrated that it pays to be a Christian. We would be glad to have Mr. Parish preach a sermon some night especially to the'young men. The annual election of Police, City Clerk and Attorney took place in the Council Chamber Monday night. The election made two changes in the perconel of the police force. The force is now com? posed of the following members: J. R. Fant, Chief; E. G. Rose. W. B- King, R. F. McKinney and J. B. MoGee. Mr. C. W. Webb handed in his resignation as Clerk of Council, and Mr. Ernest Cochran was mado his successor. Geo. E. Priuce, Esq., was elected City Attorney. The Elijay (Ga.) Courier says: "We are sorry to note the carelessness or indiffer? ence of our young ladies and gentlemen to.each other. Why is it? Boys, the girls are sweet, pretty and good enough for anybody. Why not make hay while the sun shines and get all the pleasure out of this life possible? and the way to do it is to be in the company of the ladies as much as possible. It is refining and pleasant It is much better to spend the evenings with a sweet young lady than to stand or sit oh the corner and spin yarns." Miss Amelia Brown, a thoroughly edu? cated and talented young lady of this city, will take charge of the Art Depart? ment in the Due West Female College at the opening of the session on the first Monday of October next. Miss Brown is a daughter of the late E. W. Brown, and Is possessed of charming and substantial qualities of heart and head, and will make a valuable addition to the faculty of this reliable and sterling institution. We are. sure Miss Brown will be warmly received into her new home. Our old friend, Mr. B. B. Harris, of Fork Township, exhibited to us on Fri? day last a child's undergarment over one hundred years old. It was made for his mother by his grandmother, and is still in a sound condition. The cloth was woven irr Maryland, in which State they orignally resided. His sister, Mrs. Mary C. McCrary, has a Bible which belonged to his great grand-father, who was a Pres? byterian minister and resided in Abbeville County, which is probably two hundred years old. Such relics are intensely in? teresting and valuable. Miss Essie Garden, of Rock Mills town? ship, was thrown from a vehicle, by the horse running away, while returning from Shlloh Church one day last week, and came very near being killed. She was picked up unconscious, and remained so for several hours. The accident happened near Mr. G. M. Seigler's, into .whoso house she was carried, and where was rendered the kindest attention. No bones were broken, but she received severe injuries otherwise. There were two other little girls in the same vehicle, but they escaped unhurt. The last account we have ot the accident Miss Carden was improving. - The Comptroller-Geueral has received an enquiry as to what tax is required from sewing machine agents in this State. In reply it Is answered that the General Statutes require a license of $100 to be paid to the Clerk of the Court in each County by hawkers and peddlers oper? ating therein. This applies to hawkers and Seddlers of all goods, wares and merchan ise, except venders of fruit and newspa Eers, magazines, books, vegetables to acco, provisions of any kind or agricul? tural products, or sales of samples by per? sons travelling for established commercial houses, or to sales of staple articles manu? factured in this State. We are requested to say that at an early day Miss Nora Hubbard, assisted by some ; of the best musical talent in the comma ! nity, will give another entertainment in behalf of the soldiers' monument. This is a worthy object, and one in which every old soldier in the County will be glad to contribute. The children of the old soldiers will have a prominent part in the entertainment. Old Confederate songs will be sung, and every effort will be made to make it a success. Several Counties already have monuments to preserve the memory of our dead heroes, and Anderson County must build one. Miss Hubbard deserves the thanks, and should receive the assistance of every Confederate soldier in her laudable efforts in this matter. The Sunday afternoon meetings of the Y. M. C. A. in the Opera House should be more largely attended by the young men of the city. These meetings are interest? ing, and are doing good. They are de? signed especially for the young men, but a large number do not attend, and do not receive any of the benefits therefrom' Come out, young men, and show your in? terest in the work. It will pay you, and encourage those who are earnestly engaged in the work. The time is propitious: work is needed to combat evil, ana prayer is needed to strengthen faith. Next Sunday afternoon the subject will be "The Bread of Life," conducted by . We hope to see a large crowd of young men. The editor of the Ea3ley Messenger speaks as follows of a portion ot Anderson Coun? ty he has recently visited: "On our re? turn we came by Piedmont and through the Brushy Creek section of Anderson County. Here we saw good crops, good stock, nice and comfortable houses, and the general appearance of peace and pros? perity on every* side. The public roads are decidedly the best we have ever seen in any section of this State. The reason for the better condition of the roads in Anderson County is due to the special road law for that County, known as the Murray law. It should be extended to every County in the upper part of the State. No one can travel far in Anderson County without coming to this conclu? sion. At Bethesda the Methodist brethren have about completed a new house of worship at a cost of $2,700. It is the neat? est and best Church building anywhere to be found in this section of country, and is far superior to many of those in our cities and towns. We concluded that at least that portion of Anderson was not in "a deplorable and starving condition." Mrs. & R. Murray's school will open on Monday, the 31st this! month. Mr. D, 8. Taylor died this (Wednesday) morning at abont 9 o'clock. Many friends will' hoar of this with deep regret. Mr, Taylor was a prominent merchant in this community for a number of years. He married a daughtor of Col. Rucker, and Mrs. Taylor and four children survive him. Ha was a member of the Presbyterian Church. The community will share with Mrs. Taylor this severe bereavement. The deceased was about 40 years of ago. Colored Baptists in Session. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week the Rocky River Baptist Asso? ciation met in the St. Paul Baptist Church at this place. Dolegates to the number of 115 were enrolled. Many visitors were present witnessing the proceedings. The exercises of the Association were opened with a sermon from the Rev. A. Walker.

At this time an election for officers of the Association was entered into, and the Rev. H. Watkins was made Moderator, and the R<jv. 15. V. Gassaway, Secretary, and the Rev. S. Oliver, Treasurer.

The I several County lecturers submitted reports of their work among the sub-alliances du? ring the past year, and showed what was j declared by the members of the meeting a favorable condition of the order. Fig? ures revealed the fact that during the year just closed the Alliance membership has slightly increased in Oconee and Piokens Counties, and decreased in Anderson and Abbeville, while no material change has been noticeable in Newberry- The dele? gates to the meeting were: Anderson County: County Lecturer, J.

Brock, of Anderson, spent a few hours here Saturday. M. I. Brock and wife are off on a pleas? ure trip. The Alliance have re-elected the old Board of Directors, and they have retained the same managers of their co-operative store for another year, This shows that they gave satisfaction. Mr. Frank Henry and wife and Miss Jessie Hill, of Abbeville, spent yesterday in town. They have been visiting Mrs. Erwin. Rev. Marion Gassaway filled the Baptist pulpit Sunday morning and evening.

She manages her own business, is a model of a farmer, and her example is worthy of imi? tation. The municipal election passed off qui? etly last Thursday, the result as follows: Intendant, C- E.

Shirley will oc? cupy the lower floor with fnrnitureand Dr. Wilson will have a nice office fitted up in the upper floor for the convenience of his patients. <?he fishing crowd raised an 8 pound cat fish^fc Martin's Mills last week. This was the only one exhibited. They 3ay "Milt" eat the balance. J. R. Donnald had a horse badly injured Friday evening by running against Mr. Stepp's wire fence. We suggest a top rail? ing for a fence of this kind, especially on Main Street. A new Court House for this place is still being agitated. It has become a public necessity. _ B. Barnes' Items. Rev. Emory Goss, of Hartwell, Ga.. assisted by the Revs. J. T. Morgan and W. H. King, is conducting a serie- of meetings at this place.

Bishop's Branch Itemi. We are having some beantifal weather now?just the kind the farmers need for cutting and curing grass. Would it not be a good idea for the farmers to remember the old adages, "a stitch in time saves nine," and "make hay while the sun shines." If they would, and would prop? erly apply them, they could save a good many dollars next spring, instead of h ing to spend them for "hay." Mr. J. B. Newton is contemplating erecting a new residence on his farm, which he will move some time in the fu ture. Mrs. Jas. L. Crenshaw has moved to heir brother's, Mr. H. J. Martin, with whom will reside in the future. The health of the "city" is very good Eresent, as we havn't seen or heard of the loctor being around in some time though we have a few who complain ?'bad colds," and your humble correspon dent happens to be one of that number. Mr John Looper was bitten by a snake last week. He and some friends wert walking through a patch of bottom corn and sat down to rest, when Mr. Loope not thinking, placed bis hand in some weeds, and was immediately seized by the serpent. He applied some liniments the*wound, which is doing very well. Mr. Thomas Owen and Miss Vanme Norris were married last Sunday 10th inst., by Rev. T. C. O'Dell. Accept our congratulations, friend Thomas. Mr. W. F. C. Owen has as fine a four months old "scrub" colt as we have seen lately. It's a good one. Rev. T. C. O'Dell has just closed a se ries of meetings at Willis Chapel, in which a great deal of interest was manifested There were.a few additions to the Church Well, Mr. Editor, for fear of becoming monotonous, and not wanting to be as the old tray-digger, who was asked to lead prayer at Church, and prayed thus, "Oh Lord, we thank Tbee for our existence and may trays go up to one dollar and quarter, and whiskey down to seventy live cents; may the chickens roost one limb lower, and the turkeys on the fence we will close for this time. Alter Eao. AnddrsouvJlle Items. Rev. F. M. Estes, the pastor of the Bap tist Church, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Morri son, closed his meeting at this place yes terday, the 14th, which began the 8th, and continued night and day, with thirteen additions to the Church, eleven by expe? rience and two by letter. Bright and early the people, began to gather at the ferry, on the banks of the Tugaloo, to witness the ordinance of baptism admin is tered to those who had forsaken the world and come out on the Lord's - side. It has been our privilege to be at many baptisms but a more beautiful, more Impressive occasion we have never witnessed. First came seven young ladies, then an old lady past her three-score years, followed by her life companion, several years her senior After the baptizing the large congregatio repaired to tbe Church and listened to an appropriate sermon by the Bev. Morrison This closed one of the most glorious meet ings that Andersonville has had in many years, and we have much to be thankful for in this vicinity. A good meeting good crops and good health. Mr. J. T. McQill, of the Hartwell Sun, and Messrs. Thorntons, visted this place on a fishing tour this week and took in the baptizing, and they did not forget to call on us. Jim is one of our boyhood friends, and such visits are highly appre ciated by his numerous friends in this section, his old home, where many hours were spent in roaming over the hills and wading in the streams, fighting the yel low jackets," &o. "More Anon," in the People's Advocate of the 3rd, says Andersonville is the dead est town he ever saw, with the exception of old Pickens, and he believes there are only two families living here. We want to say he is just a little mistaken. There aie four families, consisting of about half a score of inhabitants. We acknowl edge there is no shop here, but if he had visited the cottage on the hill we could have sold him a plug of cheap tobacco, a box of pills or a dozen fish-hooks. Mrs. J. R. Caldwell is in feeble health and we trnst she may soon be restored to her usual health again. Waco. Piedmont Items. With one more good rain, we will be in dependent of western corn in this section for the next year; and if the Alliance locks up their wheat I reckon we can eat corn bread. We were raised on it, and can live on it again. I can remember when we were proud to get "cake-bread" for breakfast, but now we must have it every meal, and some times between meals. I believe we would be healthier now if we made our own meat and bread at home We would know what we Were eating. A great deal of the meat we get may be hogs that have died of disease. We can't tell, so let us all raise our own meat and bread and live at home for once, Alliance or no Alliance, Tillman or no Tillman, wheat or no wheat, or Russian rye or anything else, for we have the best country in the world if we only had sense enough to know it. Crops are getting better every day, and the farmers pass off the joyful time in bringing in watermelons to Piedmont. The Piedmont Company are buying cotton now, paying the top of the market for good cotton?they don't want low grades or damaged cotton. Aunt Melissa Atkins3n, mother of our neighbor Miles T. Hogan, died in Pied? mont last Thursday, and was buried at Siloam (Baptist) Church. Surely a good woman, a Christian friend, a kind neigh? bor and an affectionate mother, has gone to rest. The Baptists of this place have recently erected a neat and commodious Church building at this place?seating capacity about eight hundred. Everything is going on smoothly at this time, and I think somebody is going to get married. If they do T will write you. Moseley Mews. Well, Mr. Editor, we have been waiting on uncle "Pedro" to give us all the news, but we fear uncle "Pedro" is sick himself, or his wife, or some other member of the family, as he has not given us any news in the last two weeks; but perhaps it is because he has been attending the pro? tracted meeting at Starr and other places. We suppose uncle "Pedro" will tell you of the long faces some of the young men had last Saturday when Miss Lizzie Gray and Miss Lillie Huffman bought tickets to Augusta. We have warned the young men previous to this about giving their hearts away. Our neighborhood is well blessed with protracted meetings this summer. Rev. Mr. Goss, of Georgia, has been preaching for us several days at Union. Mr. Goss is an earnest, Christian man, and a good preacher. Mrs. Tenant, of Bordeaux, has been in town for several days visiting the families of Messrs. Patterson and Mitchell. Messrs. McAlister & Evans are making a success of the cross-tie business. They have near 1,000 ready for the wagons. The crops are lookiDg well, and our town is on a boom. Mr. J. L. Wiles has received his lumber for his new house, and the lumber for the new Church is being prepared. Mr. D. L. Barnes is making arrange? ments to niovo in our community. We will be glad to have Mr. D. L. with us. We hear a great many discussions on the subject of holiness now. As we do not know much about holiness, we will not say anything about it, but will say that we do know that true, genuine reli? gion is badly needed in our country. We recently heard a man say that religion was as scarce as'corn in this country; and if that be true, it is scarce, because we believe that one common-size Texas pony could eat all the old corn in five square miles at this time?we mean corn that was raised lost year. We think that wc would all do well to read and take advice from the 29th and 31st verses of the 4th chapter of Paul's epistle to the Ephesians. Lizzie. Corner Items. Crops arc beginning to need rain.
