It says a catfish weighing 232 pounds, caught in tbe "Hominy Pot" in Savannah River, was sold in Abbeville a few days ago. The editor says that as the fish in the "Hominy Pot" bave on several occa? sions been fed with tbe victims of mur? derers, it is bnt right that the fish should now become tbe food of man.

Kirby Smith, whose death the other day marks the de? parture of tbe last full General of the Con? federacy, tbe statement is made that be was desperately wounded at tbe First Manassas and borne from the field by some soldiers. One of these was John C. Gantt, 4th S. C. Volunteers, who is living at Broyles, Anderson County. The Gen? eral was carried to a farm bouse and when tbe soldiers bad made him as com? fortable as they could be said to tbem: "Boys, yon bave done all you can for me; go back now, and do your duty." Darlington Herald : "The medical jour? nals have been calling attention to the danger that may result from handling the electric light bogs, and make tbe state? ment tbat they are very venomous. Sev? eral cases of severe poisoning bave been reported from their bites, and it will be well to let tbem alone. A great many children play with tbem under tbe im? pression that tbey are harmless, but tbey ought to be warned against the practice. These bugs never made their appearance until the advent of the electric lights, and they are spread over the whole country." The Warrenton (Ga.) Clipper says: "Mr. C. F. McDaniel, the photographer, who has been with us the past two months, will remain next week only, He goes to Anderson, 8. C, to make a permanent location. Mr. McDaniel is a genial, po? lite gentleman and a first class photogra? pher, besides being one of the finest Photo Engravers in the Southern States, and any town will be fortunate in getting him for a citizen. We regret that our town is not large enough to keep him." Mr. McDaniel is a native of Columbus, Ga., where he engaged in business until last Fall. We extend Mr. McDsniei a cordial welcome to Anderson. There was recently an arbitration In tbe case of E. W. Brown 6fc Sons vs. R. P. Clinkscales, suit on note for gnano. Tbe case was twice tried before Juries, and a mistrial resulted in eaah ease. Tbe facts, briefly, are as follows: More than two years ago Mr. Clinkscales bought ten tons of fertilizer from E. W. Brown &8onsst $32 a ton. He was not pleased with tbe result after using tbe guano, and claimed 'bat it did not come up to the standard guaranteed. Payment of the note was then refused and the cese was carried into Court for settlement. Each side warmly supported their claims and such talent as Tribble & Prince for plaintiffs and E. B. Murray for defendant fought the case. As there seemed to be no probability oi an early decision by a Jury, tbe parties to tbe action decided to submit the case to a board of arbitrators, and each gave $1,000 bond to abide the decision of the board. Each party named two members of the board and these selected the fifth man. Messrs. M. P. Tribble, J. M. 8ullivan, R. 8. Btiley, J. H. Jones and R. J. Poole constituted the board. After hearing the evidence, the board gave a verdict to tbe plaintiffs for 3346.50, and directed each puny to ptiy bis own costs. The amount { sued for was ?320 with interest, which i would have amounted to nearly $400 by I this time. Thus ends a case that has at? tracted the attention of people at home and abroad. Prof. Donald Downie will deliver his two superbly illustrated lectures in the Opera House next Monday and Tuesday eveuings. His subjeot for Monday even? ing is "Napoleon Bonaparte," and on Tuesday eveuing he will lecture on "Ja? pan." The views are superb, tbe lecturer entertaining* and instructive, and tbe whole an entertainment of high artistic and literary merit. We hope to see the lecturer greeted by a large audience. Tbe ad mission prices are 35 and 50 cents. The The Atlanta Constitution, in speaking of the lecture, says: "A large audience greeted Professor Donald Downie, B. G. L., in tbe ball of tbe Young Men's ChriBtian Association last evening, when the inter? esting and handsome Scotchman Btepped out upon tbe stage he at onoe secured the good will and attention of his audience. His voice is very fine, his delivery clear and foroible and. his intonations those of a scholarly man and a gentleman. His lecture was beautifully illustrated with stereopticon views of a journey through the land of the Mikado. Between tbe illustrations and the charming descrip? tions of tbe lecturer the audience was transported, as It were, into the country of the Jap. There were fifty-five stereoptioon pictures shown rapidly in succession on the canvas, and they, with the animated words of Professor Downie, kept the audi? ence in'a delightful state of surprise and pleasure for a couple of hours. Many young people, evidently school boya and girls, were present, and for them the en? tertainment was particularly felicitous and instructive." Needle's Newell Newt. One and a half inches of rain Thursday, the 13tb. As we were needing rain very badly, we were elated over the refreshing little shower, and a great maay of us had assembled at tbe Postoffice and were anx? iously awaiting the arrival of tbe north bound mail for our Intelligencers. Tbe time passed off quietly and all seemed to be enjoying themselves until 3 30, when the mail rolled in, and tbe Postmaster, after looking it through, announced that the Intelligencer's' had uot come. Tbe scene that followed, Messrs. Editors, beggars description. The crowd was com? pletely stumped. Pardon mo, bntifitis your fault aud you do not want all Newell astraddle of yob some morning, pray do not let It happen again. Wheat and oats are looking fine. Corn th>it was planted early 1b large enough to work. Cotton is coming up, and tbe farmers will proceed to ' run around" it immedi? ately. Butterflies, toad frogs snd lizards have made their appearance, and the small boy is ?urely in it. Lightning rod men are canvassing this settlement just now, and whon things are thus our dog knows not what it is to be tied up. We" have just read "Democracy vs. Ocalaism In the matter of Lstimer, Strait & Co.," as published in Tlx Slate, and must say that we are ashamed of the boya. A paper mill for Newell is a new project on foot. Men of business foresight and men w.ho are imbued with the spirit of progress, tell us that we have a location for such an enterprise that will vie with any in the United States. With W. 8. Murphy as Superintendent, .the Mountain 8prinps Sundny School is in a flourishing condition. The Mountain Springs Debuting Society Will meet in tbe school hou-e, at that pUce, Saturday ui^ht. Encourage th? boysby your presence The '.following is aboot the ' gist of an interview" with a fourth class Postmaster ef tbe rural districts relativ to the chances for. him to hold his office: "I notice that they are making a considerable to do in Washington about tbe appointments of fourth class Postmasters. Do you reckon that you will be turned out of office by tbe new deal?" "I wasn't molested four years ago, but tbe office pays something now to what it did then, and -there is no telling what may befall me." "How much is tbe Postmaster's compensation at offices of about the dimensions that yours is?" "Yes, sir, the business of Pontmasters on star routes has been increased to a consid? erable extent, du a great many of the star routes there is now a daily mail. We have been working like tbe deuce to get one on this line, and if we tucceed in so doing and tbe patrons of the office- will quit mailing their letters at town this will be an office that Congressmen will have to look after as to who will be Postmas? ter." "It is, I presume, pretty bard to always have to look np mail for th)se that do their mailing at town." "Yes, sir, it is, but I reckon tbat they think they are making a few cents for Uuola Sam when they do their mailing at an office where tbe Postmaster draws a fixed salary." "About bow much do you cancel per quarter?" "Yes,- this thing of holding a Government,office and belonging to tbe great army of Postmasters is a big thing, but I had never thought of its being like? ly tbat I might lose it." "But I asked you about how much you canceled per quar? ter." "Ob, my friend, yon strike me in tbe wrong place. Yon see if X keep this office I must make it appear tbat she is a drag. If it once gets out how much she pays there will be a red hot race for her." "I would not, my dear sir, make the statement public witbont your consent were you to tell me.'' "Certainly, I don't want it to get out, but I will tell you if you will give me your 'word and honor as a gentleman' that you will not disclose it." Here the "interviewer" became en* raged, bot replied in tbe mildest tone pos? sible* "Good! let's have her." "Well, yesterday I cancelled three cents," con? tinued the "interviewed," "and if I could just average that much every day this quarter it wonld make me about two dol? lars and thirty seven cents. Hurrah for postal progress! Two dollars and thirty seven cents per quarter when four years ago it was only one thirteen !" With this our man, without further ceremonies, bid tbe faithful servant good day and resumed hia journey. Ned Needle. AnderaonviUe Items. We are having very dry weather in this section at. this time, consequently the farmers are somewhat backward in plant? ing their cotton seed. With no disaster we will have plenty of fruit this year, which will be a great bless iug, as meat is so high Mr. J. C. Feltman lost a calf last week from hydrophobia. It is supposed hia cow that we mentioned in our last, and the calf of Mose Webb's, which he bought from Mr. Feltman, all had the same dis? ease, and from their actions and disposi? tion to fight and rnn it is supposed to be hydrophobia. Mr. F. has lost his all in the cow Una Mr. Benj Neese, our clever blacksmith, is building np a good oustom at this place. He is a goood smith and a clever man. Mr. B. F. Wright is wearing a six inch smile. It is a boy or girl, we don't know which. R. II. Martin, Esq., and family, and Mrs. N. S. Osborn, of Reed Creek, Ga., visited their father's family last week. Rev. F. M. Estes preached a good ser? mon to a large and attentive congregation last Sunday. Our Sunday School Is in a flourishing condition with Mr. J. N. Wright Superin? tendent, and B. F. Wright assistant. We bad the pleasure of spending a few pleasant hours last Sunday evening with our good friend Robt. Dyar, which we enjoyed very much. Mr. Robert Feltman has returned after spending the last eighteen months in Oakland, Fla, Friend Bob is looking well. Colds and coughs are prevailing to a great extent In this section. Miss Ida Wright is still on tbe sick list. We hope for her a speedy recovery. Waco. Po you like to wear the latest style hats ? Do you like to trade where they have the largest stock at right prices ? then go to C. F. Jones & (Vs. Clothing Store, their hats take tbe lead in Anderson. To Rent?A neat 4-roora cottage. Ap? ply at this office. Lebanon Locals. O, how different! A wcok ago tho far? mers aronnd here wore drooping about with queer shaped faces, "sorter" like "theso here" almanac pictures we seo sometimes and reminding ono of a chick? en with cholera, bnt now since the rain and a little rest they are just as pretty as a posy and lively as a cricket on the hearth. Note the contrast, will you. O, that we could have the patience thi father Job had. Moat the farmers bave corn up and wil' soon have cotton coming up. So. are complaining of moles destroying their corn. Wheat and oats are looking fine. Well, after all the cold weather we have bad, we are going to be blessed with a good fruit crop, unless something happens in the future to prevent it. In a few more.days the forest will bo robed in the full armor of green leaves. Oh, how pleasant to wander along shady groves and paths and think of the infinite mercy that God our Father has bestowed upon us every day, though we may not realize It just at present. Mr. Hollia Rochester, of Walhalla, paid a visit to a portion of this section a few days since. Mr. S. T. Craig and wifej Of your town, Mr. Editor, were in this community a little while one day last week. Your correspondent was at a rat killing tbe other evening in which a great deal of fun was had. We didn't kill but about 35 of the "corn-hlders." After the battle with rats, we undertook to rob a stand of bees ef their sweet substance, but ere we were half through, about a dozen of the little workers commenced working down your correspondent's back, which didn't feel exactly healthful to bim, so after a few liracufous jumps he placed himself a g> .>d distance from tbe stand but not from those down inside his shirt. Thanks to the preserver, I was not quite dead after freeing myself of the things. Honey is a very good "dish" if we can always get somebody else to get it for us. I'm done with the things myself. Miss Ethel Nance, of Anderson, is going to school here. Prof. Holland, tbe effi? cient principal, is a "hustler" in the school room, and no doubt will receive other pupils from afar sometimes. We notice from somo of your corres? pondents that debating societies are being organized in several localities. We need something of that kind at Lebanon. I wonder if we can get up one here. We need something to give our minds more wholesome food. Our brains are becom? ing very "rusty" and some of us can't even talk to a giil, or, if we do, it's some? thing like this: "Aint it purty weather ?" "The moon shines mighty bright," "how did you like his sermon?" and a few other similar expressions. When a boy has no more to talk about than these and some other boy's side beard, then it shows plainly that we are in need of something to renovate our minds. Boys, let us organize a society and go into it like a hungry negro into a bowl of clam soup. Can we afford to waste our preci? ous time in idleness when there are mo? ments every da\ that could be well spent if we only knew what to ? How are we to know that ? We must put our reasoning faculties into effect and broaden tbe channel of our minds. We see those that are well acquainted with language more sociable tban those of less training, and nine times out of ten this is accomplished by poor boys who have tried to spend every moment just as profitable aa possi? ble. We are going to make an effort now, and if we succeed in getting enough boys to place their shoulders to the wheel to turn it we will invite some one who has stood in tbe shoes of an orator to come and give us an oration. Sawyer. Barnes Items. The festive Spring time is here, and while the boys are growing sentimental and dreaming of love in a cottage, the dear girls are going crazy about new hats, new dresses, crinoline, <fcc. Get your lungs together aud commence ' to whoop. Mr. John A. Brown has tbe contract for the one thing needful. Many of the boys and men, and girls, too, are talking about fishing excursions. Some of our people have been off on sev? eral trips fishing, drinking branch water and having a side splitting time. Ask Dave about it. Mr. W. A. P. went to see that pretty "Rose" again last Sunday. It was his first visit this year. We rise to whisper "Amen." That certain young man visited one of his "Minnie" friends near this place re? cently. We were glad to see our hand? some young friend looking so well. The ladies are talking themselves half to death about Mr. Watson's pretty goods. Well, the goods are good and sweet and beautiful enough to die about. Go and see tbem and run your husband crazy un? til be gives you the necessary cash. One of our charming young ladles says she is going over on the river aud spend a week fishing. Success to you, M. D . I know yon can catch that fisb the first jerk and not jerk hard either. What you say, Jimmie. Mr. A. V. Barnes left this place on tbe 4th inet., after a two-month's stay in our midst.- Some of the boys have a rich one on him, bnt 'tis so good it will keep a long time. We a-i not in a hurry to tell it. Two young ladies called to see us last Friday evening, and we don't know when we bave seen such pretty, sweet girls. Boys, where are you ? We know a certain young lady living about--this far from here who went to Anderson last Tuesday to purchase a very fine hat for a certain occasion. Guil? ty or not guilty ? Tbe good, people over on the river, we bear, hare been troubled by the crows. One of tbe most enterprising of the farm? ers rolled bis corn in coal tar and guano, and not a seed came up. If these good people are still troubled with the crows I would refer tbem to my old army com? rade. D. A. McAlister, who has a most excellent reoeipt for getting rid of crows and dogs, too. Farmers are progressing very nicely, notwithstanding the late start they got. Some bave finished planting, others are rapidly preparing, aud others are ready to plant but waiting for rain. Small grain is not looking bo well, hut with favorable seasons many are entertaining high hopes of a good crop yet. Serf. Cedar Grove Items. Mr. L. Coptland is sparking now across the Cooloy road. Girls, you will catch a good fish if yon catoh him. We can all live now awhile. Uncle Edmund Crymes says poke salad is now ripe, and if we have a good blackberry crop and make a little wheat, meat can go up to 25 cents and we will still live. Several of our farmers have some cot? ton up, but It looks sick these cool morn? ings. Brother farmers, plant plenty of peas. We believe next year will be the worse vear this State has ever experienced, There will be twenty candidates for every office. Mrs. Marie Crawford has passed from earth to heaven. She has been suffering with a cancer for a good while, which caused her death. Her remains were laid to rest in the Cedar Grove Church? yard oh the 13th inst., Rev. L. M. Harris conducting the funeral services. Mrs. Crawford was a faithful member of the Baptist Church. She leaves five chil? dren, besides a host of friends, te mourn her death. Jerry and Johnny, you can't scars a country boy with a cotton planter or plow. "We would advise you to take a few rocks in your pocket next time you start courting and you may not have to run so hard. Mr. William Lollis in, we are glad to say, getting better. M. C. Mahaffey went on a business trip to Pelzer last week, One of our citizens was seen planting before day-break, He had a torch in tho field to see how to drop the corn. That is the way to get rich. Grit. Belton Items. Judge W. F. Cox and wife, of Ander? son, were visiting relatives in Belton Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. A. L. Brown, formerly of this place, but now living in Greenville, paid a short visit to relatives in towu last week. Mr. and Mrs. Childress, of Fountain Inn, visited the family of Dr. J. M. Hol corabs last week. "Miss Rosa Tribble, who has had charge of the school at Barker's Creek, has closed her school and returned to her home at this place, ^Mrs. M. E. Crawford, who lived a few miles above this plaoo, died last Wednes? day aftor a long illness, and on the fol? lowing day her remains wore interred at Cedar Grove. In our last writing we inadvertently omitted to mention the change in tho "police force." Mr. R. D. Anderson has resigned his position, and Mr. E. T. Tol lison now swings his "billy." J. ?eoueet From Dr. Bosworth. We are requested by Doctor Bosworth to Bay to all concerned that be can not take any more patients, or lose time in examining and consulting before next I Tuesday, the 25th. He is so crowded with patients that this is necessary. All beds in the Anderson Surgical Infirmary, too, aro now occupied for at least ten days. This may be of service to some one and savo thorn time and a trip to Anderson. Holland's Sture. Mr. Thos. J. Holland died at tbis place after several woekB' illness the 12th inst., in about tho 48th year of his age. Ho was the eldest child of the late A. M. Holland, and waB born at or near Ander? son, at which place his father did busi? ness several years prior to the war. He moved to this place with his father in 1857, and assisted in runni.Bg the business until Mr. A. M. Holland's death a few years ago. He obeyed the call of his ountry in the last two years of the war, being too young previous to that time for service. In 1870 he married Miss Sue Reeder, of Hart County, Ga., and immediately settled in Hartwell, where for a few years he merchandised in co? partnership with his father. He return? ed to his native State, and was engaged up to his late illness in farming, mer? chandising and attending to the postoflice, &c. During bis last few days on earth he embiaced Christianity, aud expressed himself as being prepared to meet the summons. He talked freely and when his voice failed him, he called for some? thing to write on and thus communicated his wishes calmly and with as much serenity as if starting on an earthly tour. It is sad, indeed, for us to realize that he has departed, but should rejoice in the hope that he baa made his calling and election euro. A widow and nine chil? dren, with a host of relatives and friends, are left to cherish his memory. His remains were interred at Roberts the day following his death after funneral servi? ces conducted by Rev. Mr. Durant. Cotton planting will about wind up this weok. Wheat and oats, gardens, Ac, are need? ing rain. The fruit crop is still all right. We hope the danger is past. Considerable fishing indulged in now by those who can spare tbe time.

Alfred Writes: I am in my seventy-third year, and for fifty years I have been a great sufferer from indigestion, constipation and bill ionsness. I have tried all the remedies advertised for these diseases and got no permanent relief. About one year ago, the disease assuming a more severe and dangerous form, I became very weak and lost flesh rapidly. I commenced using Dr. H. Mozley's Lemon Elixir. I gained twelve pounds in three months. My strength and health, my appetite and my digestion were perfectly restored and now I feel as young and vigotous as I ever did in my life. L. J.
