the First Baptist Church, of Gainesville,

Assistant Secretary of tbe Board of Home
Missions, wbich will require all of his

Rev. A. A. Marsha!!, of Crystal Springs,
Ga., will be called to tbe pastorate of the
Church. Mr. Marshall was pastor of the
Church for seven years and resigned to
accept a call by the Baptist Church, of
Anderson, S. C, some years ago. Mr.
Marsball is an able preacher of great suav?
ity of manners, and was universally loved
by not only tbe members of bis own
Church but by the people generally."
Sometimes laughable slips of the tongue
happen that are amusing to the auditors
bnt not to the one whose tongue is re?
sponsible for the slip. An orator once
exclaimed, "He jests at wounds who
never felt a scar;" and a young lady wsb
once reciting the famous poem "Curfew
shall not ring to-night," and when she
came to tbe part where tbe maiden of the
poem was told, "Go, your lover lives,"
her tongue tangled and she made Crom?
well say, "Go, yonr liver lovea." At the
last Court held here Clerk of Court Wat
kins read a bill from tbe Grand Jury
signed J. L E?kew, Foreman, "J. L.
Foreman, Eskew," and the "audible
amile" produced by tbe amusing lapsus
linguoz made tbe gentleman conscious of
tbe Blip of the "unruly ^member" and be]
immediately read the signature correctly, j
From tbe Greenville Newi: we clip tbe
following, and it is with pleasure that we
note tbe establishment of such industries
in our section of country : "O- B. Owens
and Thos. J. Martin are prosperous mer?
chants at Pelzer. Tbey have formed a
partnership in a new line of business for
that town?canning vegetables and fruits,
and will push tbe work for all it is worth.
They have a large and commodious build?
ing on the farm of Mr. Owens, abont one
mile from Pelzer, in which tbey will em?
ploy twenty-five operatives far the pres?
ent. They have secured experienced men
to superintend each branch of tbe busi?
ness, which Ib a guarantee that the goods
tbey turn out will be equal to tbe bestand
greatly superior to the general run of
canned goods. Every modern appliance
known to the business will be used, and
only pure, fresh, ripe fruit and vegetables
will be put up. For this season tbey will
can peaches, tomatoes and okrs. During
this season tbey expect to put np three
thousand dozen cans of peaches, tbe same
number of tomatoes and three hundred
dozen tomatoes and okra mixed. This is
not an experiment, but a permanent in?
dustry. Having plenty of capital, they
expect to gradually increase the volume
of business by adding other fruits and veg?
etables." _____
Condition of tbe City Treasury.
From tbe books of the City Treasurer
we find that the financial condition of
tbe City goyernment is good. As a mat?
ter of interest to our readers we publish
below the report of the City Treasurer
for the fiscal year ending August 15th,
though it is somewhat condensed from
the original. We congratulate the City
on the good showing made, especially as
the largely decreased revenue from liquor
licenses caused by the dispensary law
has not seriously, if at all, embarrassed
the treasury. In that respect Andersen
is much more fortunate th&n some of her
sister cities, as some of them have had
to adopt various expedients to raise funds
to meet current expenses. The report is
as follows,:

children to come unto me and forbid them
not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven."

Q&?fesrjsr De Bow.
Pendleton Locals,
There are some people in this world
.who seem to be always ready and to de?
light in performing dangerous deeds.
This was illustrated here last Saturday by
a negro, who tried to board a freight train
while in motion, and tbe consequence was
that his foot was ran over by the wheels
and so badly mutilated that amputation
was necessary to save his life. Nearly
every day when tbe train comes a crowd
of negroes are always at the crossing
to get a little ride. They will probably
learn a lesson by this man's misfortune.
Dr. Neill and wife, of Kansas City, Mo.,
are here on a visit to Mrs. Neill'a father,
the Rev. J. 3. Adger. Dr. Neill is pastor
j of a Presbyterian Church in that city with
over six hundred members. He delivered
two very fine sermons here last Sunday,
and is also helping in a meeting now in
progress in the Presbyterian Church.

' it keeps tbem out of mischief.

From Cherokee Falls.
This is a historic old place here on
Broad River. Here is where a part of
Col. Tarleton's army crossed the river on
their way to the battle of Cowpens, and
where they recrossed in their night from
the victorious Americans. Several inci?
dents of revolutionary history happened
through this country, some ?f which are
still related by the grandchildren of the
old heroes who enacted them. I am told
that some two or three lories were hung
not far from here?in fact, I have seen
the trees on which tradition Bays they
were hung.
Blacksburg and GafTnoy City, each
about six miles from here, are thriving
little towns. Gaffney has one of the best
small cotton mills in the State. While
all, or at least a great' many of the cotton
mills of this section are stopped for want
of sale of their goods, this little enter?
prising mill bas to run day and night to
hll orders, as the demand is so great for
the class of goods made by them, which
is, I believe, what is called by manufac?
turers Bix-yard goods. The city has a
great many other enterprising establish?
ments which, altogether, make it one of
tbe most progressive little cities on tbe
Air Line. Blacksburg, located some ten
miles east of Ga?'ney, is destined some
day to be tbe leading railroad centre of
the Piedmont belt in South Carolina.
They have all the natural resources to
tnake it a city ol considerable magnitude
?that is,f' ? land is there to build it on
and if it is not built it will not be for
want of one of the best locations in the
South to build it on. Tbe Three C'sR.
R. crosses the Air Line at this point, and
another road from August* via New berry
has been surveyed to tbis place, and will,
in all probability, be built in the near fu?
ture. The red hematite and magnetic
iron ores which abounds in inexhausti?
ble quantities here are destined to com?
mand the attention of capitalists some
day. I believe that if ear State ever gets
settled and quiet in politics again, and
get a State government that people have
confidence in, theso superior natural ad?
vantages will be taken hold of by monied
men from abroad.
At Cherokee Falls there is a cotton
mill run by water power which has been
run successfully for some twelve years,
and they are still increasing their capac?
ity for supplying the demand which they
have had for their superior ootton chains,
warps and yarns. They are shut down
now for a few weeks, making some im?
provements in their water power. The
fall in the river here is not so very great,
(some ten or twelve feet,) but they have
an abundance of water?enough to run
several thousand spindles. They con?
template adding looms to their mill in
the near future, which will, in all proba?
bility, enable tbem the better to compete
with other mills in the South in the
Northern markets.
The crops along the road from here to
Piedmont, as a general thing, look very
well, some places look more promising
than others, but upon the whole I think
there will be an average crop made. Cot?
ton is generally low,, but thin and is very
well fruited to the size of it.
We had tbe pleasure of meeting Dis?
trict Attorney Col. W. Perry Murphy at
at Greenville last Tuesday, and from the
impression he made upon us we think
Mr. Cleveland an elegant judge of hu?
man nature. If he is as successful in
making all of his appointments in this
State?that is, in getting competent men
to fill the offices as he was in his selection
for District Attorney?we should be proud
of it; and I think he will if he continues
to make his selections from the conserva?
tive side, or Democrats, as we might say,
and we think he will. I think .that tbe
Tillmanites, or more properly speaking
tbe third party men ot this State, ought
to be content with the State and County
offices, and let the Democrats, or anties,
as tbey call us, have the Federal offices.
I am willing to that, and would sacrifice
my pleasure to some extent and take one
myself if they could do no better. So let
the wheel roll, the lucky man wins the
money, as tbe wheel of fortune man
says. Squire Fewel.
Re-union of Orr's Regiment.
The rerunion of Qrr's Regiment at
Sandy Springs on tbe 15th and 16th inst,
was a very pleasant one, though not at?
tended as largely as in years past.
A few of the survivors spent the night
on the camp ground, recalling tbe scenes
and incidents of camp life.
Wednesday a goodly number of sur?
vivors and their families came in to tbe
number of 300 or 400. The proceedings
were opened by a most beautiful and
appropriate prayer by Mr. J. W. Todd, oi
Seneca.
There were present 33 survivors of
Orr's Regiment and 77 from other comr
mands,
It was especially pleasant to again meet
tbe two mothers of tbe regiment, Mrs,
Mary J.Orr and Mrs, Lizzie Led better,

ing these annual re-unions.
