During the rain lightning struck a tree near the stable and the shock killed the animal. A cement sidewalk is being built on the West side of Main street, between the office of Graham & Black and Ducker's store. This will give a cement sidewalk on that side of the street, from the depot to Hays' corner. The heaviest rain in several months fell Sunday afternoon. The rain appears to have b^en general throughout the county. The crops were badly in need of rain, and it made the farmers feel mighty good to see the fine season Sunday afternoon.

Some 200 bales have been sold in Anderson during 4he past week, and very little is left in the hands of the producers. On to-day's market it would bring 14 cents for good cotton. ?Anderson Mail.
