Quinton An - derson, -which occurred at his home iii Broadway Township last Saturday' moming at 8 o'clock, Anderson County loses another one of her best and most highly esteemed citizens. He had been a sufferer with Bright's disease for several months, which gradually weak ened him, but h e was not forced to take his bed until a few days preceding his death. Mr. Anderson was born and reared in Greenville County, and was in the 72nd year of Ms age. About forty-five years ago he moved to Anderson County and ha? ever since resided on the same plantation where he vdied. He was twice married, his first wife being Miss Francis Smith, daughter of the late Robert Smith, of Broadway Township, and his second wife was a Greenville County lady. Both of them preceded bini to the grave. By his first marriage eleven children were born, ten of whom -five sons and five daughters-are left to-cherish his memory. In the domestic, social and business relations Mr. Anderson moved on in his daily routine of duties with a gen - tleness df manner that was in itself forcibly impressive for good. In him the force of a quiet spirit seemed to dominate in all the walks of life. He not only governed himself, but in so doing he acquired a supremacy of strength in the mastery of others. All could go to him in their business trou bles for advice, and in their sorrows for comfort, and find him a wise counsel lor and a sympathizing Mend. He j always had a cordial greeting, a happy smile and a cheerful word for his friends, and those who kneAv him best esteemed him most. In tho civil war he was a brave and gallant soldier. He wa? one of the first volunteers, and served until the laying down of anns at Appomattox, being a member of Trenholm's famous squadron of tho Seventh South Caro lina Cavalry. The funeral obsequies took place at home Sunday afternoon, being con ducted by. Rev. J. ST. H Snmmerell, in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives, after which the remains were interred in Silver Brook Cemetery. Corner Bots.

C., spent several days with the fam ily of Rev. R. C. Ligon last week. There was a lawn party at the resi dence of Rev. J. V. Black last Thurs day night. To say that it was a com plete success is useless. There were about twelve couples present, and for about three hours'the beautiful lawn was the scene of much mirth and mer riment, coupled with the sounds of joyous laughter, which echoed and re echoed in the stillness of the night, gave evidence sufficient to show that the evening's pleasure was complete. The night was calm and lovely, the moon beautiful and serene, the all surroundings were such as to inspire the youthful lover to realms of greater activity, and canse him to send the winged arrow of ,cupid with much greater force straight into the inmost soul of some listening maid. Thanks to the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Black, who contributed so mach to the success of the evening. Several bf ?ur citizens attended thc commencement at Due "West last week and were well pleased with their trip. The fact that Dr. Talmage would lc c ture was sufficient to draw a Jarge crowd from our neighborhood. The lecture of Dr. Talmage was interesting in the extreme, and was regarded by all who heard it as the most entertain ing lecture they ever listened to. , Mr. "Bud" Wiser, of St. Louis, Mo., was in our midst several days ago.
