Mr. Walter L. Miller died at his homo in Abbeville last Monday. He was a son of the gallant old Confeder ate soldier, Col. Geo. McDufiie Miller, and a consin of Mrs. S. D. Brownlee and Mr. J. M. Giles, of this city, and had many friends and relatives here who will bo grieved to learn of bis death. An alarm of tire on Friday last I brought ont tho department with its usual prompt response, thc rcsidenc-? of H. H. Watkins, Esq., being on fire. On account of some misdirection as to the direction of tho tire, the department failed to reach the scene until tho tiro had been extinguished by thc prompt action of neighbors. All are cordially invited to attend Brown, Osborne & Co.'s opening of Spring millinery to-morrow (Thursday). They have a new milliner in charge, Miss Anna May, and this being her tiret season in Anderson, sho is exceed ingly auxious to make a favorable im pression. There is donbtless a treat in stove for all interested iu millinery. The Greenville District Missionary Institute convened in a two days' ses sion at St. John's Methodist Church of this city on Tuesday last, much inter est being manifested in tho services. The subject of missions is now forging rapidly to tho front in religious circles in the endeavor to keep pace with the march of civilization in the opening up of nev fields. Those who attended the services wero amply repaid for doing so. Tho Graded School football team stubbornly refuses to be lost in the shuffle. Having held the local foot ball championship since the beginning of the season, it ndded to its laurels on Thursday last a game of baseball, in which it bad the satisfaction of seeing its opponent-Anderson city and P: M. ?. combined-bite the dust io tho dole ful tuue of 15 to 10. There seems now little doubt that the Graded School team is, areal hummer with horns, to say nothing of the chin whiskers. .Tba Firer Department is exultant over the arrival of its new hose wagon, which is described ns being a "dandy" pure and simple. There are some, however, who go so far as to pronounce it a "peach-," at any rate, it isa very creditable apparatus, and is quite in harmony with the splendid horse re cently purchased. The Council is to be commended upon this appropriation os it bas evidenced splendid business judgment and discretion in the pur chase of such supplies for the Depart ment aa were absolutely necessary. Another sound financial institu tion launched hore is tho Guaranty Building und Loan Association, of which Mr. C. E. Cobb has thu distinc tion of bciug primo mover. Thc compa ny is capitalized nt ??10?,0O0 and has al ready mude application for a < barter. Those named as corporators are Jos. J, Fretwell, C. E. Cobb, F. T. Wilhite, lt. F. Hall. I?. K. McCully, Jr.,F.B. Cray on, H. H. Edwards, M. !.. Bonham, Jas. T. Huberts, S. N.Gilmernnd H. ll. Watkins. The Association expects to be n-ady for business as soon as the ne cessary (h'tiiils after organization ure completed. Thc spirit of expansion ?a abroad in tho land, and it has hit Anderson a broadside, left-handed upper cut. The Cox Manufacturing Company hasjust decided lo increase its capital stock just $100,000; thc same was recently donn bj lim Riverside Manufacturing Company; nunc land was bought a few days ago hy thc Anderson Cotton Mills to provide for'the necessity brought about by tho recent increase in capita] stock tillie, and now I he Orr Cot tun Mill has "increased itsnerongt" t ti forty acres without the mule to provide against a possible hidebound situation. TJie land in question was a tract owned by Dr. S. M. CUT ami sold toi $12? au acre. "One ol' the easiest things in thc world is to lind fault with tither peo ple; but how ditlicult it is to sen otu own faults, ttl .understand our weak points, and to remember that as wt see faults in others they see faults at bad, and perhaps worse, in us. Let us be charitable, and do as the great artist who painted a picture of lib monarch, upon whose brow there wa.? a scar.

News of thc sad death of Air. J. W Root on Thursday morning last at tlu residence of his uncle, Capt. J. A. Gray of this city, was a shock to thc friend! of tho bereaved family. Mr. Root wai a native of Home, Go., but carno hen the week previous in search of healtl and to visit his aunt, Airs. J. A. Gray and his Bisters, who live at t"ne Cnn heme. It was soon discovered that hit trouble, peritonitis, was n most serious one, and one that refused to yield tt thc most skilled treatment.

In their precipi tate Tush to fires heretofore tho fir laddies have been compelled to stcc clear of the crowds; thc tables arc noi turned, and without choice upon th part of tho Chief, and ho states Um the crowds must steer clear of tho hos wagon. Ile requests that when an alan of fire is sounded parents will kee their children in the yard and that a spectators at tires will do thc Depart ment tho kindness not to crowd in 1 the great hindrance of tho firemen. Prof. T. R. Langston gave an inte: eating, instructive and marvelous tb monstration of hypnotism nt tho Opci House on Tuesday night last. Th being his initial public appearance, tl success which he attained with his sui jects was a revelation to his Cello townsmen who were ignorant of sue talent in their midst. It was said I competent critics that his deinoostr; Hons were in every particular theequ of moro experienced hypnotists ni that with a wider sphere of infiucn and action coupled with stage cxpe ience he bids fair to become, one of tl greatest of the modern school. Tl high popular regard in which Profess Langston is held in this his home cit may hnvo biased tho minds of his a diencc in his favor, but they arc nc firmly convinced of n question abo which they have long been in (?our <im? iiiiit. is thc reality of hypnotism au individual intluencc.
