On Thursday a gen? tleman, who claimed the horse and buggy, reached Anderson on the trail of the thief, having traced him all tbe Way from his home, and immediately reported to Chief Rose.

The Piokens Sentinel of last week says: "Last Saturday we saw the adventist tent, near John Rosamond's, in Brushy Creek Township, of Anderson County.

Near the large tent . was a smaller one which appeared to bs used as a kitchen and dining room. It was provided with a cooking stove. The preachers are nice looking, and are said t d receive nine dollars a week for their work. They are pleasautly and comfortably lo? cated." The State Campaign meeting will taka place in Anderson next Tuesday, 7th inst., and we hope peace and good order will reign throughout the day. Several of the meetings have been a disgrace to the State, but we hope such may not be the ease in our city. Some of the speakers may say some very bitter and unjust things to provoke the people, but silent contempt will be tbe best answer for tbe jeers and abuse. Baoh and every speaker Bhould have a respectful hearing, and those per? sons who do not want to hear any particu? lar speaker should go away and not re? turn until the speaker has finished. A Committee has been appointed to arrange for the meeting, and we suggest that they! request the Mayor to have a number of j policemen scattered through the oiowd with instructions to arrest each and every person who attempts to create a row or disturb the meeting in 'any way. Of j course, we have too much confidence in our people to believe that they would at? tempt anything of this sort, but some* times the best of men lose control of them? selves, and it will do no harm to have officers present whose duty it will be to obey the instructions of the Committee in charge of the meeting. Mrs. Eliza J. Reeves, widow of Wilson Reeves and mother of the late John A. Reeves, well-known in this community as a former resident, died at her home in Centerville Township, July 80th. Mrs. Reeves had reached the ripe old age of 86 years. She was a woman of unusual in? telligence and force of character, and was universally respected and loved as a friend and neighbor. She was also a consistent and devoted Christian, having united with Roberts Church in her girlhood. She was buried in the family graveyard, near the ancestral home of her grand-father, Andrew Liddell, who settled the place be? fore the Revolutionary War, in which be was a soldier. His remains and those of | Mrs. Reeves' father, Andrew Liddell, Jr., with other members of the family, rest in the same spot. And thus Mrs. Reeves has, indeed, been "gathered to her fath? ers." Five generations of the family lie in this graveyard. Anderson County has lost another one of its best citizens in the death of Mr. Wm. S. Martin, whioh occurred suddenly at bis home in Wllllamston Township last Wednesday. Two brothers-in-law, with their wives, were spending the day with Mr. and Mrs. Martin, and were sitting on the piazza enjoying a pleasant conversa? tion, when suddenly Mr. Martin stooped over slightly and fell out of his chair. Before his loved ones could realize what had happened he was dead. It is the gen? eral opinion that apoplexy or heart disease was the cause of his death. Mr. Martin was about 60 years of age, and had spent the greater portion of his life in the section where he died. He served faithfully through the war, and had the confide ace and *good will of a very large circle of | friends and relatives, all of whom feel that his place as a friend, a neighbor and a oitizen will be bard to fill. He leaves no children. To his devoted wife we tender our sympathies. Truly, a good man has gone to reap lbs rewards of a well spent Ufe. An unexpected change in running the trains over the Columbia & Greenville Railroad and the old Blue Ridge Road took plac<! in Anderson this morning. A few weeks ago the C. & G. R R. was sold and purchased by the Southern Railway Company. In the order of sale the Blue Ridge Road was not mentioned, and it is Btlll in the hands of the Federal Court The Southern Railway Company will continue to operate it, but all of its busi? ness will bs neparated from the C. & Q- R. R. At this point the trains to and from Anderson on the B. R. R. R. will change engines and crews, with Capt John An? derson as Conductor. The crews on the trains to and from Columbia will lay over in i Anderson at night. The passengers will not have to change cars, and there will be no change in schedules, all con? nections being made as before. The B. R. R. R. will probably be sold in the near fu? ture, and the Southern Railway Company, of course, will be the purchasers, when tbo trains will rnn through as formerly. Superintendent McBee will continue to inunsge the B. R. R. R City-Primary Election. The Democratic primary election for the nomination of Mayor and Aldermen to be voted for at the Municipal election on the 13th inst., was held last Monday, i in accordance with the rales adopted by this executive committees of the four city clubs.

The first six namod candidates for Al? dermen received a majority of the votes cast, and they were, therefore, declared the nominees. Brushy Creek News^^V* We are having abundant rains now and the orops are just humping themselves. Old farmers tell us that the prospects for a heavy yield of both cotton and corn are about as good as they ever saw. Mr. B. N. Perry and wife, nee Miss Wilson, of Brevard, are off for a fortnight on a trip to visit relatives and friends in North Carolina. We were delighted last Friday to greet our old friend, T. F. Smith, now of Alva rado, Texas. He is in for a few weeks' stay with relatives and friends, and is as lively as ever. Texas agrees with him. Since leaving here some years ago Mr. Smith has been connected with the M. E . & T. R. R , and being chock full of the enterprise and posh that invites success, is climbing rapidly. A friend bands us the following with a request that we. insert it in the. Brushy Creek news: "A literary society should be organized in Brushy Creek. It should not be for the young people alone, but should include all. There is talent enough here to make one evening in every week entertaining. In snch a society the people could meet and exchange their vie wb on any subject, and the associations thus made would be pleasant to remember ever afterwards. Who will take the lead in the organization? It is not necessary that you yourself be very literary, but that does not keep you from appreciating it in others." Well, we sre about all done laying by now and are in for a few weeks rest, and aren't we having a sweet time I In water? melons and cantaloupes np to our eyes I Crop3 growing so fast you can almost hear 'em. Nothing much to do but read the Eapers and view passing events with the oys. Not a bit hot about the Tillman Butler campaign ; don't care a continen? tal which one beats. Just a "let'n' 'her go, Gallagher t" Trying our best to keep cool and "hands off," but plague on it all the thing won't hardly work. When we seek the shady nook and throw ourselves upon nature's velvety carpet to take a rest, to let the gentle breeze, ladened with the sweet odor of the beautiful wild flowers, fan us, and the- merry songs of the birds and the murmur of the brook sing us' to sleep?that balmy sleep you read about in novels?a kind of air pervades that region that completely drowns out the supreme happiness that we had so pleasantly an? ticipated, and we fall to ruminating. Then before we are aware of it we are ask? ing ourselves "where we are at?" On the fence, by jingo I And with our hands deep down in our pockets and our legs dangling down, we are beating a kind of tattoo on the rails and thinking about?what ? The State campaign ? I reckon that's it. Isn't it a caution the way the candidates and the people are conducting themselves. Howled down in Charleston. Barely missed bloodshed at Edgefleld, and at no place has the spirit that should reign su? preme at sucn gatherings showed itself. For minutes at Edgefleld men were stand? ing with their hands on pistols and with knives tightly clutched, ready to use on each other! Hundreds of them ready for action and with fellow-beings singled out as targets for their pistols, stood glaring like beasts! One shot would have caused a skirmish which would have doubtless landed many souls into eternity. What has brought about this deplorable state of affairs ? Who taught our people to behave thus? People following hot, bull-headed and reckless lead eis, refusing to exercise their own judgment and taking every? thing that is published in "reform organs" to be gospel facts, has, in our humble opinion, figured no little in the drama. Heigh-ho! is this rail turning? Golly! here comes a lizard?wouldn't have it to get up my breeches legs for nothing. "On the fence" is a very comfortable place, boys, bnt these things will annoy a fellow sometimes. Ned Needle. Look and see whether Murphy & Evans, Attorneys at Law, have any Town or County property advertised for sale or rent in this issue. ? What causes bad dreams is a ques? tion that has nover been satisfactorily an? swered; but, in nine cases out of ten, frightful dreams are the result of imper? fect digestion, whioh a few doses of Ayer's Sarsanarilla will effectually rem? edy. Don't delay?try it to-day. For chapped and rough hands and lips use Agnino Fragrant Cream,*{at Wilhite's Drug Store, price 25 cents. Tokeena Observations. Well, Messrs.

I see the correspondents are not taking hold of the "Correspondent's Meeting' like they should. Some suggest one place and some another. Now, Mr. Editor, you Bet the day and place, so we can all join. Have it on some Saturday; I am in school and wouldn't; like to lose any time, but I am anxious for tbe meeting. I want to visit Anderson and her people again Now, brethren, let tis hear from every one in regard to same, for I know it will be a pleasant meeting.

At this point one can get a good view of the mountains,' and we delight to feaBt our eyes on tbe beauties of nature. To the north are to be seen toweling mountains, whose, craggy peaks tower to the sky. We could gaze on this beautiful scene forever and not get weary. Il does us good to go out and commune with na turorand we render thanks to Him who fashioned this beautiful world for us to eDjoy. While we stood enjoying this beautiful scene, this passage of Scripture came to our mind: "Rejoice evermore; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks, for this Is the will of God in Christ Jesus oonoerning yon." We ought to love him more for tbe blessings he has bestowed on us. We would suggest that the farmers who have watermelon patches to guard them, as some miscreants have been visiting them by the light of tbe moon and de? stroying them. Some people are too lazy to plant one of their own, and they ought to be dealt with. We got behind a week somehow or other with onr lest communication In re? gards to tbe correspondents' meeting. We regret that we erred, and try to make amends. We would leave the meeting to tbe other boys. We are going to attend the Association, and will give you the proceedings.

The object of the meeting is com? mendable, and will doubtless prove in? tensely interesting to the family:. Lowndesville, S. C, Jnly 26.1894. Mb. J. F. Clink scales?Dear Sir: At a meeting of a number of Clinkscales' at my house last Tuesday, to consider the matter of having a general re-union of the family, it was decided to hold or call one for August 22nd, to meet In a grove on my land near Midway Baptist Church, ana that all the name?descendants of oar grandfather, Francis Clinkscales?be in? vited to participate and attend. That the ladies furnish the chicken, cooked to their liking; bread, cake and pies of any and every description; piokles, preserves,jam and jellies?in fact, everything in their line of cooking; and that the meats be beef, pig, mutton and kid and barbecued. All who could not contribute meat (owing to distance) be assessed or contribute enough to meet actual expenses. X hope there is no Clinkscales bo very close as to com? plain at tho amount which must necessa? rily occor in providing Beats, clearing off the grove, hauling water, getting ice and lemons, (if decided to do that,) and a bal? ance on meats, which will not amount to much. It is not expected that one or two families can clean off the grove, provide material for and place the seats, build a speakers' stand and arbor for shading a portion of the ground, though naturally a very nice and shady place. Nor is it ex? pected that three or four can furnish all the meat and pay for cooking. The meeting will number at least fonr hundred. Moreover, if we could announce certainly ttat we would have John O. Clinkscales to deliver ns an address on the genealogy and history of the family, and J. L. Orr an introductory, and R. P. Clinkscales the valedictory, or George Prince, if yon prefer, we conld get from four to six hundred together, as a great many would be as much, or more, inter? ested in the speaking than the gathering together of the family. Besides 'this we expect to have some fine music to enliven the occasion. We decided to take the statistics of the families, which will show the number of each living as well as the death of the^ males and females; also, the ages, as near-* ly as we can ascertain, and the names of the families into which the daughters mar? ried, and with them we drop the name and reckoning. A form of taking the same as adopted by Committee on statistics I en? close for your family. Itrwill be necessary to draw the form off on cap paper, as those I send are too small In spaoe. Make everything as plain as possible. L. C. Clinkscales. The Falrvlew Stock Show.

O. or William Jameson, Majors, S. O. Obituary. It is with profound sorrow that we an? nounce the death of little Keltso. the youngest daughter of W. A. and R. F, Moorehead, which occurred July 12th, 1894, aged three years sod three months. She had been sick for some time, bot was not thought to be serious until a few hours before her death. Kind friends attended, loving hands administered, but the angel of death came and claimed the victory. To the bereaved we would say sorrow not as those who have no hope. She oannot come back to yon, but you can go to her. Her remalnB were laid to rest in the family burying ground Friday evening. Little Keltso is now in Heaven, And is singing, sweetly singing, In the paradise above, While her parents dear are weeping For the darling one they love. J. H. Moorehead. Hart County, Oa. ? Capt. S.
