Y. This book is known to many of our ret.d ers from its first edition, published a few years ago. The second edition contains many valuable improvements. The con tents embody a collection of results ob tained with fertilizers at our Experiment Stations. It would appear from these con clusions that many brands of fertilizers now on the market do notcontain as much potash as they should for the production of the best results. It would certainly pay every farmer to write fora copy of this book, which we understand is sent free. The Greenville News of last Saturday says : "The Commissioners for Greenville and Anderson Counties met at the new iron bridge over the Saluda River, near the Pelzer dam, yesterday. It seems that it was agreed that the bridge should be built and that the two Counties should share equally and pay for it. Supervisor Spea gle objects to this, saying that as the larger part of Polzer lies in Anderson, and as the people of that County get the most benefit from the bridge, he thinks that thoy should stand the greater part of the ex pense. So a meeting was held yesterday, and the Commissioners are endeavoring to settle the matter by mutual agreement and keep !t out of the Courts if possible. Tue Anderson people claim that the agreement was made and the contract signed soiue time before Christmas, and that the new Commissioners have no right to change it." The Danville (Va.) correspondent of tlie Richmond Dispatch, under date of the 20th inst., says : "Miss Jessie N. Garnhart, of this city, and Mr. J. Clarence McFall, of Staunton, Va, were married at 12:45 o'clock to-day at the residence of the bride's sister, Mrs. John Gryme3, on south Main street. Rev. W. R. Laird, D. D., of the Presbyterian Church, officiated. The wedding was quiet, only a few inti mate friends boing present. Mr. Hugh W. Holcombe was best man, and Miss Evelyn Wimbish maid of honor. The bride is a native of Kentucky, bat for tvro years has resided in this city. She ii a handsome brunette, anda favorite soci ally. Mr. McFall is a pharmacist, who, until recently, resided iu this city. Mr. and Mrs. McFall left in the afternoon for Staunton their home." The groom is fin old Anderson boy, and we join his mony old friends hero in extending congratula tions, and wishing he and his lovely bride long and happy lives. "The Private Secretary." Manager Breazeale has boen exceeding ly fortunate in getting the Edwin Tra vers Company to visit Anderson aird pris sent that famous play, "The Privato Sec retary." This Company is a largo one and does not often visit a town bf 1C3B than 20,000 people. It will be here next Monday night, and a genuine treat is in store for thoso who will witness the play. The Columbia State in speaking of this Company and the play, says: "The peo ple who write plays don't know how to get up anything that will make more laughs to the minute than 'The Private Secretary,' and that's the reason that no thing funnier has yet entered into the mind of the playwright. It is funny enough, and if it were more so, thoso who saw it last night would likely be laugh ing yet. 'The Private Secretary' drew a good house. Everyone knew what the play was and know that they would see one of the best comedies ever written, and this proved a sufficient incentive to fill the theatre. Laughter is what the world wants, and that is what it always gets when iu seeing and hearing distanco of 'The Private Secretary.' Tho play is familiar to all theatre-goers, and any do tailed 'write-up' would be superfluous. lt is simply a clean, high-toned and charming comedy, aud one which gives an audience an opportunity to simply revel in laughter until the risibles be como weary and pine for rest. -The Tra vers Company, which presented the play last night, is made up of a most admira ble set of commediaus, one no better than the other, but all of the best. The entiro Company is so competent that it would bo difficult to single out any one for spe cial commendation, so the State will not try it. Everything about tho rendition was artistic to the greatest degree, and if there has over boen a better pleased as semblage to leave tho opera house than that of last night, the oldeBt habitue fails to recall the timo and occasion. Tho play has been given in Columbia several times beforo, but the Travers Company impart ed to it such life and vivacity that made it seem not as an old friend, but like a brandjuew one." Admission prices: Dross Circle, SI 00; Gallery, 5U cents. Tickets and reserved seats will be placed on sale at Russell & Breazeale's next Friday morning. Appreciating tho fact that "The Private Secretary" is tho groatest attraction ever booked in Anderson, Manager Breazeale has arranged to run a special train from Seneca and intermediate points along the Blue Ridgo Railroad to Anderson for this attraction. The schedulo will onablo tbs visitors to witness the performance and return to their homes immediately after tho play.

Whenever Mr. and Mrs. Da vis opens their country home for the en tertainment of the people of that section, an example of old-time southern hospi tality is given that lingers in one's mem ory for a lifetime. Piedmont has certainly got her share of drummers and agents for tho last ten days. They come in droves. Ask Mr. Bowen where he was going so soon last Monday morning. The dance at the Hotel Friday night was a brilliant success-one of the most delightful society events of the season. There were in attendance, besides the pretty maidens and gallant young men of Piedmont, quite a number of charming young people from neighboring towns, Greenwood, Honea Path, Pelzer and Gol den Grove all beiDg represented. The Messrs. Garrotte and Creisman furnished music for the occasion, and it was the "wee ema' hour of 1" before the merry party thought of breaking up.
