It is said that the seat sale here has been very satisfactory and that the tncatre people are well pleased with the number disposed of here. It is planned for the theatre party to leave this city Monday afternoon, at 6.45 o'clock, reaching Greenville in time for supper before the show, and ' re . turning a special train will leave over the interurban immediately after the ahow has been couclvded.

Several planters spending yester day in Anderson said that interest had been aroused in their respective committee over the news that the stock exhibit has been postponed un til September 30 and all of them agreed that this will be a better date. It is said that practically every sec. tion of the county will be represent ed when the Judges'begin their task of piking the prise-winners and every shape, size and kind of horse will be seen here on that day, as well ai various breeds of bogs and other stock. The great interest being mani, tested in this particular event could probably be traced to the fact thal the* prie list is longer and filled witt: mor? valuable premiums than any ol : the farmers had expected. ?

Rubenstein comes here from Augusta, where he has been in busi ness for years, backed with years of practical experience in - this line of business. However the stock which he ha? opened h ?re is not an old one. This stock of goods was bought in New York and other eastern marKets especially for Ander-on, and shipped here direct. In this issue of the Intelligencer .appears a half page ad from thia new est addition to Anderson merchants, which is brimful of attractive and sea. sonable bargains that will appeal to the thrifty men and women ot Ander son and vicinity.

The new Watson-Vandiver building on Main street is fast filling up and this particular portion of the city is becoming one of tho busiest spots in town.

Later in the day a letter was received from a little boy in which he says that he too has a very fine donkey and would like the right to exhibit the animal.

Thia night j school did much for the mill workers of Anderson last winter and they all appreciated it. It had been thought that the school this year would be en larged and conducted much in the same manner as last winter, but un forseen circumstances have arisen which makes this impossible and lt ls therefore probable that a school will be conVlucted on certain nights of the week at every mill village in the city instead of at the Y.
