Frequently we see clouds arise in the west and come up within a mile or two of os and then it divides and one part floats off down below Anderson and the other part passes us by above, and we sigh and hope that the- next day will bring us rain, but so far, hoping in vain, except a small shower that is soon dissipated by the hot sun and constant winds, but still we hope on Mr. Bradley Moorehead, who has been attending the State Institution at Cedar Springs for some time, in spending a part of his vacation w'tb Mr. Z-dgler McClel lan.

Of courts, we prom . lae them all that we'll vote for them, and the shorter they make their stay the oftener we will vote for them. So if any of them should happen to see this, it will be to their interest to heed lt. We always make it a rule to tell them that they are our choice and give the other fellows part'culsr fits. We have to in self de fense, els? they wouldn't be able to get around and see all the "dear people" and kiss all the dirty-faced children, telling them that they (the children) are so pretty and "favors their mother so moon."

C., Julj 6,1898 We, the Trustees of Pendleton School District No 2, require all teachers to teach the summer term ol one month and we will pay for same, but if said teacher should full to teach the full month with out plausible excuse or without the con sent of the patrons or Trustees, tbey shall forfeit pay for one-fourth of the time already taught We also grant teachers the privilege of teaching one month lon ger with the consent of a majority of the patrons, provided they are willing to wait until January or February, 1899, for their pay. All teachers having claims against Pendleton District No. 2, will pre sent them to the Board of Trust?es at Denver, S. C. on Saturday, the 20th day of August, 1898, at 3 o'clock p.m. The public sobools in Pendleton District No 2 will begin on Monday, the 11th of July, 1898. All teachers will be required to present their certificates on the above date. THOS. P. HOBSON, Clerk. M. C. SMITH, ot Board Trustees. A Suggestion. Mr. EDITOR : On the 8th August next the voters of Anderson will be given an opportunity to either re-elect or change their present city officials, and as one who has carefully observed the expendi tures and work of the present officials, I desire to nominate the present Mayor and Councilmen for re-election. Far Mayor, Gt F. Tolly. For Councilmen. Jesse Smith, Jo tm T. Borrlss, B. F. Wil son, W. R. Hubbard, James M. Payne and M. Kennedy. My reason fordoing thia is, that these gentlemen have shown more enterprise and interest in the city'B welfare than perhaps any previous Conn eil and because they are more familiar with the finances of the city, and will be more ambitious to succeed In the outer prises they have undertaken iu the interests cf the city than could be ex peoted of a newly elected set of men. These officials have expended nearly ?14.000 for public buildings, land and personal property, besides putting more perron nent improvements on the streets than perhaps any previous Counoil Their knowledge of the city's finances, its works and its needs eminently flt them just now for re-election. __ OBSERVER.
