If there is anything in the world that tenda to build up a city it is the nnmber of small industries within its limits. Large manufacturing establishments are to be desired, but where the capital cannot be secured to establish them, then small in? dustries come into play. They furnish employment for idle but honest people, they increase the value of property, they swell the volume of business and in every way are beneficial. There 1b room for a few more small industries in Anderson, and we must have them. Who will put the ball in motion ? The Walhalla Courier says: "The office of Master in Equity has been abolished in Anderson by an Act of the Legislature. There is no economy in such action, for the simple reason that special referees will be appointed to discharge the duties of the Master. These appointees will receive at least the fees fixed by law in each case, and iu some cases they will receive a great deal more." Mr. Ed. Plummer, formerly clerk at the Hotel Chiquola in this city, but who has for some time past been the assistant manager of the Grand Central Hotel in Columbia, has resigned his position, and will go into the theatrical business as joint manager with Mr. W.

Oar young townsman, Mr. David Van diver, met with a painful accident at Bel ton last Sunday. He and Mr. Willie Clink8Cales were driving into town, when their horse ran away, and, throwing Mr. Vandiver out of the buggy, kicked him twice on the left leg just below tbe knee. No bones were broken, but tbe limb was terribly bruised. Mr. Vandiver was able to return to the city, and soon bad to call in a physician.

Last Wednesday Mr. L. N. Martin visited the city and when he went to feed his male, it was gone. He made inquiry about it and soon learned that Beard had ridden it off. A warrant was issued for his arrest, and he was traced to near Whitefield Church, where he attempted to steal a wagon from Mr. J. M. Morgan, who ran bim off He made the same attempt at Mr. Marvin Smith's, who ran him off by shooting him off. The thief next visited Mr. R. Q Hammond's where he secured a saddle. He then rode the mule into the oity and turned it bose near the cotton mills. Next day Constable T?te got after Beard, who threatened to ohoot the officer, and then made his escape. On Friday ha vis? ited the New Prospect section, and that night stole the only mule of Mrs. M. B. Jackson, a widow lady.

It was a lovely day, and the occasion attract? ed a large crowd. That energetic Sunday School worker, Mr. A. R. Cox, presided over the meeting. The reports from the various Schools of the Union were very encouraging and interesting, Addresses on Sundav School work were delivered bv Rev. Wm. Brown and Rev. H. T. Smith. The sermon for the occasion was preached by Rev. B. J. Williams in the Church. Ay the building could not accommodate tbe crowd, another servioe was held at the same hour in the school house by Rev.

In the death of Mr. James McLees, which occurred at his home in Rock Mills Township last Sunday morning, about 0 o'clock, Anderson County loses another one of her oldest and most up? right citizens. He had been quite feeble for several months, and his death was caused by general weakness attributable to his old age. Mr. McLees was born and reared in the neighborhood of Sadlers' Creek and had always lived there. He was a staunch and faithful member of Roberts Presbyterian Church for 68 years and a Ruling Elder for 63 years. His pa? rents were among the first settlers of that section. Mr. McLees was a man of strong convictions, and did his own thinking. He was a most zealous worker in his Church and her courts, and was ever ready to speak a kind word to those in trouble and grief, and to lend a helping hand to the poor and afflicted. He was ever on the side of right and did not hesi? tate to condemn the wrong. In fact, his life was spent as a true follower of the blessed Saviour, and now has gone to reap the rewards promised the faithful. His wife preceded him to the grave, but he leaves numerous descendants to cher? ish his memory. On Monday morning his remains were interred in Roberts Churchyard, Rev. R. C.

Tender Ties Broken. At the laat meeting of South Carolina Presbytery, the following papers were adopted in reference to the dissolution of the pastoral relations of Rev. Drs. D. E. Frierson and John B. Adger; It is with regret that our attention as a Presbytery has been called to the resig? nation by the pastor of the Anderson Church. It was with great reluctance that we dissolved a relation that has ex? isted so long, so peacefully, and so pros Eerously, and we do hereby express our eartfelt .sympathy with our beloved brother in separating from a charge whom he has served for many years in the bonds of Christian love; and we assure him that ho ought to feel greatly com? forted by the fact that this Presbytery bears testimony to his faithfulness and success under the blessings of heaven, in lengthening the cords and strengthening the stakes of our beloved Zlon in that quarter of the Lord's vineyard where he has worked as watchman and overseer. The Presbytery of South Carolina hav? ing received notification of the resigna? tion by the Rev. John B. Adger, D. D., of his pastoral relation with the Pendleton Church, on account of his declining years, recognize this act as an indication of the closing up of his long and distin Suisbed labors for our beloved Church; erefore 1.

Spsarea of this place, was hauling bacon from Ander? son to Tovrnville for Bruce & Bruce on Tuesday, the 25th ult., and lost about 40 pounds, perhaps two large strips. If any person found any meat on the road from Anderson to Townville on that day it very likely belongs to Bruce & Bruoe, or W. B. Cleveland, wbo lives at Simmon's Ford, as be also lost $1.50 worth of meat coming from Anderson that day. Mr. Cleveland is a poor man and would be very glad for the person that finds that amount of meat to turn it over to him. Bruce & Bruce are not a very rich firm and would be very proud to get what they lost. Prof. J. W. Gaines, of Westminster, we understand is still very low with fever. "Old Rosin Be Bow" is laid up from'a fall be received while climbing out of his barn.
