Km s. c.! SST We ?xe reqoe^ted to.atate that the Ex¬ ecutive, Committee of the Anderson Farm era5j '.'Association will meet at this place on Sat urday1,. Pl8th or" November instant, and a full attend- ^l^ce, is reojiested. * Thepremium of $10 in gold, offered by proprietor of the "Bed Sign Store," will rjfe assigned, to the lady receiving the largest -rwamber of premiums at the recent Fair, at the meeting of the Executive Committee on the 3®hinst 1* n r»i .Four Fourth Annual Fair of the Anderson 5(m . Farmers' Association. $he annual gathering of our people to wit- 'iness an industrial exposition has come and -gone, and we can truly declare that it has been grand success. No previous occasion of this ^character has enlisted such general interest, iner so fully developed the latent energy and Resources of our citizens. All seemed to vie , "in the effort to make the County Fair over- .jS^adow all other things for the .time being, and -<tae entire population appeared busily eugaged '/in adding some interest, either by entering the "contest for premiums or lending their presence ..and encouragement to the members of the. As- 'r-aociatioa meat actively engaged in the manage¬ ment of the Fair. Neighboring counties like- Wise manifested a deep interest in the cause, -,'aind among the list of entries we find that .Abbeville and Greenville were largely repre- 'sented. These facts ought to stimulate such of tonr own citizens as have not cast in their mite :ojf energy and application heretofore, and make -them resolve at once* to assist in building up and enlarging the sphere of usefulness m ! which the Association has been engaged for the .last several years. Upon this point, however, we will amplify hereafter, and will begin at ossoe tnfon such a description of the Fair as it i. -fit in. our power to give, which will be necessa- 'rily imperfect, as the duties of Secretary kept us so closely engaged as to debar the privilege of a full examination of the numerous articles en exhibition in the various departments. THE E12ST DAY. Itn:Wednesday opened gloomily enough, so far as weather was concerned, and the most ardent And sanguine friends of the Association felt (dispirited and discouraged by the steady, In- \cseasing iain which fell in the morning. The -clouds were dull and'leaden, and indicated a rmost disagreeable occasion. Yet, in spite Of thi3 serious drawback, the Secretary's office ^as , opened at the appointed hour, and the re¬ petition of articles for exhibition began. It .^ras not long until all the clerical force at hand ^tas busily employed in making entries, and as >he day progressed, it became apparent that the ¦aeveral departments were being rapidly filled with handsome articles. At noon, the clouds ^froke away, and with the bright sunshine came ^increasing tide of exhibitors thronging the .office, which was not dosed until evening.. Humming up the dayts work, it was ascertained ihatta larger number of entries had been made' than at any previous Fair, and the books were still to be kept open for the entry of live stock liext moraing. jM . THE SECOND DAY. Thursday was bright and beautiful and at iao- early hour;the sale of tickets for entrance to 4he Fair building was inaugurated. The arti¬ ges on exhibition had been classified and ar- iTmged, and hundreds began the round of in¬ fection, while the various Committees entered lipon the discharge of their duties. The entries of live stock continued without intermission Until one o'clock, when the books were finally dosed. The attendance of visitors was quite large, and their comments upon the exhibition very flattering. The Anderson Brass Band en¬ livened the occasion by appropriate and inspir¬ iting music, both inside the building a d out upon the grounds. A preliminary examination tf the stock took place in the afternoon, under the direction of the Committee, and the day closed with the most gratifying results, in a financial point of view, as the receipts fiom ad- ' mission fees had been unusually large, while a large number of Annual and Life Members had been added to the roll of the Association. THE THIKD ASD LAST DAY. Friday morning, with the weather most fa¬ vorable, it was apparent that the gathering of people from all parts of the country would far exceed that of the previous day, and greatly surpass the expectations of any one. The en¬ trance to the building was speedily thronged, and it was not long until the spacious walls held within an eager, happy crowd of men and women, intent on viewing the hundreds of arti¬ cles on exhibition. As one entered the building, next to the Secretary's office, the eye was attrac¬ ted by the numerous entries in the household de¬ partment, including jellies, jams, catsups, pre¬ serves, pickles, canned fruit, cakes of various ilnds, loaves of beautiful bread, rolls and dishes of splendid butter, samples of honey and syrup, fine old hams, dried fruit in abundance, samples of lard, domestic vinegar, crys tali zed fruit, canned and pickled vegetables, and all other arrides in that line known to the vocabulary of housekeepers. *jhen came the wines, inclu¬ ding blackberry, muscadine, scuppernong, ca- tawba, cherry, and wine from the old-field plum .a new and delicious article, as we happen to know.and the splendid array of bottles ma¬ king every one wish they belonged to the " tasting committee." In the centre of the room, we find the needle and fancy work, which includes embroidery, Litten, crochet, &e., and embraces a long list of garments, from infants' clothing to the curioui wearing apparel that possesses names unfamiliar to masculine ears. Here, too, is thepatehHvorJt^vith quilts ofcot- ton, silkjand worsted, jmd several specimens by girls under 12 years old, and a crib quilt by a y^ngmlss of four summers! Thea we pass to-the domestic fabrics; where there is exhibited an unusually large number of articles, inclu- %ng home-made woolen blankets, woolen jeans, woole»^artdK»tton coverlets, domestic ticking and ginghams, and home-knit socks and stock¬ ings. . This department was most creditable to the'industry and skill of our eount^-womea,. and it is a matter of sincere regret that the gen¬ tlemen appointed to award premiums, through unavoidable circumstances, tailed to,n&ke-are- port at *V ring* of the exhibition. -We under¬ stand that several members of the committe were present on Thursday and examined arti¬ cles, rbut' were prevented from returning the next day by reason of domestic affliction and other causes, and hence the failure to make the eipee^ swards, each one;' tföub'tless be^eving that the others were attending 'to tins duty in bia absence. -« -"^ si \ 'Next in order, we Delieve, Wert the articles in the miscellaneous department,' in charge of two committeei.one composed of ladies and the other of gentlemen. Hair, bead, wax, wil¬ low, and other handiwork of the ladies was here presented, while the display of mechanical skill by the gentlemen elicited universal commenda¬ tion. But we propose to notice the entries un¬ der this head in an especial manner1 next week, snd: will pass on to other topics.' As usual, the display in field crops attested the superiority, of farming in this section as compared to many other portions of the State. The samples of lint cotton were notably fine, while the numerous entries of corn cannot be excelled on this side of the mountains. Sever¬ al sheafs of upland rice attracted much atten¬ tion, and convinced the most skeptical that this important and nutritious grain may be easily grown to perfection in .this latitude. Other ar¬ ticles deserve mention, but we must hasten to a conclusion. We leave the interior of the building, with the fancy tables presided over by ladies con¬ nected with the Agricultural Entertainment, Which we shall speak of in another place, and will take a glance at the vast crowd gathered upon the outside.,. The horse show is progress¬ ing, and we must be content to refer our read¬ ers for information about the pigs, poultry and cattle to the reports of committees, for the grand display of horses absorbed undivided attention. The judges are seated upon the stand, as we make an exit from the building, and the Band is sending forth rapturous strains of delicious music,-while the arena is surrounded by hun¬ dreds and thousands of people.' It is estimated that five thousand persons were fn attendance at this particular moment, and'it was a sight worthy to be transferred to canvass. The halter- led animals were first brought into the ring, and as the judges directed the blue and red rib¬ bons tö be tied, one class gave way to another. Then came the double and single harness horses, followed by saddle horses, ponies, &c, until every class had been gone through with, and the premium animals indicated by the committee. A pacing match was next in order, Mr. Wm. Knox entering a saddle horse and -Mr. D. C. Cunningham a single harness horse, against each other. Mr. Knox's horse was rid¬ den by Mr. Sam'l. Harbin, and made the mile in 3.88, while the other horse was driven by Mr; A. W. Thompson in 3.46J. The track was uneven, and it is a wonder that the horses went over the ground in* the time specified. A trot¬ ting match in double harness was called for, and Mr. D. S. McCullough entered-a pair of bay mares, but there was no competition. With the tost of draft horses and mules which fol¬ lowed, the day's exhibition eloaed. Immedi¬ ately afterwards, the premiums-awarded by the 'various committees were read'out" inside the building, and the premiums distributed to the successful competitors. I And thus closed the fourth annual exhibition under ifie auspices of the Anderson Farmers' Association. . The Agricultural Entertainment. , For day 8 and weeks before the opening of the Agricultural Fair, the ladies of this communi¬ ty and surrounding country bad been employed in making preparations for the Entertainment intended as a benefit to the Far me rs' Associa¬ tion. The immense building in which the Fair was held, belonging to the Blue Ridge Bail- road, had been appropriately arranged and beautifully festooned with evergreens. One side of the building was devoted to.convenient tables, and an elegant stage erected in the north¬ ern end, while the east wing of two rooms was set apart for the spread of substantial. These arrangements were completed in ample time, and a corps of ladies and gentlemen were prepared to appear before the footlights in choice and en¬ tertaining Charades. Accordingly, on Wednes¬ day and Thursday evenings of last week, the En¬ tertainment was opened for the reception of the public, and we are gratified to state that it met with a liberal patronage on both evenings.. The Charade? were particularly spicy aud in¬ teresting, and some of the actors and actresses added new laurels to their previous well-earned reputation in that line, while several novices appeared upon the boards and riveted general attention by their clever representation of as¬ sumed characters. The tables alluded to were loaded down with cakes and fancy edibles, and tho meat depart¬ ment was abundantly supplied with everything to tempt the appetite and deplete the pockets of hungry individuals. On Thursday and Fri¬ day, while the Agricultural Fair was progres¬ sing, the multitude was fed from these tables at a nominal price, and many persons from a dis¬ tance were agreeably surprised to find so com¬ plete a restraurant ready at hand when the "in¬ ner mau" craved indulgence. As an adjunct to the Fair, leaving out of the question its prof¬ itableness, this feature is worthy of preserva¬ tion, since strangers particularly are accommo¬ dated and made to feel at home. The ladies in charge of the tables were untiring in their ef¬ forts, and worked nobly from the beginning to make the Entertainment a success. The whole affair, it will be remembered, was under the su¬ perintendence of a committee of gentlemen appointed for that purpose by the Fanners' Association, and we take pleasure in testifying to the seal and efficiency with which their on¬ erous duties were performed. We have not yet ascertained the net proceeds of the Entertain¬ ment, which will be devoted to the purchase of grounds and the erecting of permanent build¬ ings. An Unusual Season. The extraordinary mildness of the tempera¬ ture at this season attracts much attention, arid excites a wide range of comment from old and young. Fruit trees have been blossoming, and the growth and variety of vegetables are quite remarkable. The second crop of beans from vines deemed worthless is a novel feature In this clin^ate, yet a^yery acceptable addition to the table. We have kept no record of the tem¬ perature, but presum.efthat it.would reveal .a, most wonderful lapse of summer lingering'in the winter months. We have not yet had1 a killing, frost, although, light- skiffs-rof, hoary; Jack were seen nearly bix weeks ago. We have been induced to look back into tbe'päst'history of this section, for the purpose of ascertaining if this season was unprecedented, and we find; upon record in Bamsey's History iof. South Carolina some remarkable statements, as fol¬ lows: -'¦' * H After the hurricane of September, 1782. the season was so mild that all the fruit trees '.put out in blossom, and the fruit: of some ripened. There was'no frost1 until'"Christmas day, wn£n rare-ripe apples Of the second crop were cant¬ ered fit to eat. Something of the same' kind, though not to an equal degree, took place after the hurricane of 1804. On the 12th of Decem¬ ber of. that year, ripe mulberries' and ripe wüd cherries were gathered in the vicinity of Charles¬ ton. Apples and pears grew to a large size, but did not reach maturity..Vol. 2, page 169. .; Have the hurricanes any effect upon the temperature succeeding their visits? :We have experienced no violent hurricanes this fall, in this section of the State, but other''sections have been visited by the most unexampled storms of wind. It would seem that the histo¬ rian, from whom we have just quoted, laid some stress upon the' fact that mild Seasons always followed notable hurricanes, such as are de¬ scribed by him. In conversation with several old persons,' we have ascertained that there was another year .within their memories quite as remarkable as those mentioned by Bamsey, bnt none are able to fix the exact date, all agreeing that it was about forty years ago. The temperature was so mild during that entire winter that ho bacon was cured in this section, as.the/meat was spoiled by the warm weather. Fruit t roes- blossomed, and vegetables presented much the same appearance until Christmas, at least, as iaj noted to-day. Are we to have a similar expe¬ rience? Sales on Monday. The attendance of persons from the country on Monday last was not so large as we expec¬ ted, yet the bidding for real estate was quite animated and attracted the attention of a good¬ ly crowd. Through the politeness of Sheriff McGukin, we are enabled to give the report of sales, which reveals the fact that real estate is in better demand and prices ruling higher than at any time during the last eighteen months: One tract of land, containing 180 acres, known as the Sloan Ferry place, on Seneca Biver.sold under execution and subject; to, mortgage.brought §2,040.00. i One tract, containing 155 acres, sold by order of the Probate Court, brought $1,200.00.

The Gift Entertainment advertised to take place on Saturday evening las : came off at Ma¬ sonic Hall, in the presence of a large audience of ticket-holders. Two responsible gentlemen were selected by the crowd to conduct the drawing, which resulted as per list below. The tickets were held principally by the citizens of this town, as we are informed, and some of the lucky ones invested quite largely, holding twen-1 ty-five or thirty tickets. The distribution; of prizes was as follows: 1. Ladies' Gold Watch, No. 16, John W. Daniels. 2. Masonic Pin, No. 49, G. E. Hammond. 3. Open Top Buggy, No. 818, John Catlett. 4.

C, that his stock of Dry Goods and rMiliinery-. was never so large and attractive astH: is this season. .Nothing that could be thought of has.been left undone. His stocki was bought with a great deal of care. There are larger stocks in the State, but when it comes to real handsome and stylish goods, the "Emporium of Fashion" is unsurpassed. Especial attention is called to his stock of Dress Goods, Shawls and Millinery, and to many ar¬ ticles useful-and ornamental for ladies, not to be found in any other house in the.up-country. Mrs. Cain, in charge of the Millinery Depart¬ ment, has been in Baltimore for two months looking up and studying the styles. She is as¬ sisted by Miss Small, Mrs. Wieb and Miss CATOiC The Dress Making Department Is in charge of Miss Tweeddale, lately in charge of a fash¬ ionable dress making establishment in Balti¬ more. She is assisted by the Misses Taooart and three other ladies of skill in this depart¬ ment. Samples of Dress and any other goods that can be cut, Will be sent upon application. La¬ dies can order Hats, Bonnets, or anything in the Millinery Department, and the goods will be sent by Express. Satisfaction guaranteed in every case; but, ladies, do not'put your limit too low. We use the best materials, and don't pretend to com¬ pete with common materials and untasty work. Our prices for Hats run from $3 to 310. We will duplicate any bill of Millinery bought in any city at one-third less price. But, ladles, we would rather you would come, that you can judge for yourselves, and make your own se¬ lections. Passengers by the morning's train have two hours to stay in Abbeville. Very respectfully, JAMES W. FOWLER, Proprietor Emporium of Fashion, Abbeville, S. C. Oct 12,1871 15 2m Be Guided by what yon Know. There is an old proverb which says, "Expe¬ rience is the safest guide." To this guide the sick and ailing naturally turn when casting about for the means of relief. They enquire what a medicine has done for others, before they adopt it themselves. Of all the remedies and preventives in use, Hostetter's Stomach Bitte:s meets the test most triumphantly, and hence its immense popularity and vast sales. The suf¬ ferer from indigestion is sure to find some one among his friends who has been cured of this ailment by the famous vegetable stomachic The victim of fever and ague, liver complaint, constipation, nervous prostration, or general debility, has only to make inquiry in the neigh¬ borhood where he resides in order to discover what this, standard restorative has effected in cases similar to his own. In the published tes¬ timony to its merits he will find a volume of proofs of its sanitary properties, which it is im¬ possible for his common sense to resist. He tries it, and the effect it produces on his system adds another to the host of witnesses in its favor. Thus, its reputation, founded on facts, not as¬ sertions, continually grows and spreads. Char¬ latans and impostors, some of them mere local tricksters, and others who take a somewhat wider range, attempt to thrust into the hands and down. the throats of invalids, their hap¬ hazard concoctions, as substitutes for the tome which for so many years has been a medicinal staple throughout the United States, Spanish America, Canada, and the West Indies, but only succeed to a limited extent In this reas¬ oning age, the people, having ascertained what is really deserving of their confidence, decline "running after strange gods." Manufacturing Enterprise in Charles¬ ton..Charleston is fast becoming a manufactu¬ ring as well as a commercial city. The largest manufactory of doors, sashes, blinds, Ac., in the Southern States is that of Mr P P Toale, on Horlbeck's Wharf in that city, sales rooms at No 20 ELy ne street Mr Toalb's advertise¬ ment appears in another column. * IN BANKRUPTCY.

SST We ?xe reqoe^ted to.atate that the Ex¬
ecutive, Committee of the Anderson Farm era5j'.'Association will meet at this place on Saturday1,.Pl8th or" November instant, and a full attend-
^l^ce, is reojiested.* Thepremium of $10 in gold, offered by
proprietor of the "Bed Sign Store," will
rjfe assigned, to the lady receiving the largest-rwamber of premiums at the recent Fair, at themeeting of the Executive Committee on the
3®hinst1* n r»i.FourFourth Annual Fair of the Anderson5(m . Farmers' Association.
$he annual gathering of our people to wit-'iness an industrial exposition has come and-gone, and we can truly declare that it has been
grand success. No previous occasion of this^character has enlisted such general interest,iner so fully developed the latent energy andResources of our citizens. All seemed to vie
, "in the effort to make the County Fair over-
.jS^adow all other things for the .time being, and-<tae entire population appeared busily eugaged'/in adding some interest, either by entering the"contest for premiums or lending their presence..and encouragement to the members of the. As-'r-aociatioa meat actively engaged in the manage¬ment of the Fair. Neighboring counties like-
Wise manifested a deep interest in the cause,
-,'aind among the list of entries we find that.Abbeville and Greenville were largely repre-'sented. These facts ought to stimulate such oftonr own citizens as have not cast in their mite:ojf energy and application heretofore, and make-them resolve at once* to assist in building upand enlarging the sphere of usefulness m
! which the Association has been engaged forthe.last several years. Upon this point, however,we will amplify hereafter, and will begin atossoe tnfon such a description of the Fair as it
i. -fit in.our power to give, which will be necessa-
'rily imperfect, as the duties of Secretary keptus so closely engaged as to debar the privilegeof a full examination of the numerous articlesen exhibition in the various departments.
THE E12ST DAY.
Itn:Wednesday opened gloomily enough, so faras weather was concerned, and the most ardentAnd sanguine friends of the Association felt
(dispirited and discouraged by the steady, In-\cseasing iain which fell in the morning. The-clouds were dull and'leaden, and indicated armost disagreeable occasion. Yet, in spite Ofthi3 serious drawback, the Secretary's office
^as , opened at the appointed hour, and the re¬
petition of articles for exhibition began. It.^ras not long until all the clerical force at hand^tas busily employed in making entries, and as
>he day progressed, it became apparent that the
¦aeveral departments were being rapidly filledwith handsome articles. At noon, the clouds^froke away, and with the bright sunshine came^increasing tide of exhibitors thronging the.office, which was not dosed until evening..Humming up the dayts work, it was ascertainedihatta larger number of entries had been made'than at any previous Fair, and the books were
still to be kept open for the entry of live stockliext moraing.jM . THE SECOND DAY.
Thursday was bright and beautiful and at
iao- early hour;the sale of tickets for entrance to
4he Fair building was inaugurated. The arti¬
ges on exhibition had been classified and ar-
iTmged, and hundreds began the round of in¬
fection, while the various Committeesenteredlipon the discharge of their duties. The entriesof live stock continued without intermissionUntil one o'clock, when the books were finallydosed. The attendance of visitors was quitelarge, and their comments upon the exhibitionvery flattering. The Anderson Brass Band en¬
livened the occasion by appropriate and inspir¬iting music, both inside the building a d outupon the grounds. A preliminary examinationtf the stock took place in the afternoon, underthe direction of the Committee, and the dayclosed with the most gratifying results, in a
financial point of view, as the receipts fiom ad-'
mission fees had been unusually large, while alarge number ofAnnual and Life Members hadbeen added to the roll of the Association.
THE THIKD ASD LAST DAY.
Friday morning, with the weather most fa¬
vorable, it was apparent that the gathering ofpeople from all parts of the country would farexceed that of the previous day, and greatlysurpass the expectations of any one. The en¬
trance to the building was speedily thronged,and it was not long until the spacious wallsheld within an eager, happy crowd of men andwomen, intent on viewing the hundreds of arti¬cles on exhibition. As one entered the building,next to the Secretary's office, the eye was attrac¬ted by the numerous entries in the household de¬
partment, including jellies, jams, catsups, pre¬serves, pickles, canned fruit, cakes of various
ilnds, loaves ofbeautiful bread, rolls and dishesof splendid butter, samples of honey and syrup,fine old hams, dried fruit in abundance, samplesof lard, domestic vinegar, crys talized fruit,canned and pickled vegetables, and all otherarrides in that line known to the vocabularyof housekeepers. *jhen came the wines, inclu¬
ding blackberry, muscadine, scuppernong, ca-
tawba, cherry, and wine from the old-field plum.a new and delicious article, as we happen to
know.and the splendid array of bottles ma¬
king every one wish they belonged to the" tasting committee." In the centre of theroom, we find the needle and fancy work, whichincludes embroidery, Litten, crochet, &e., andembraces a long list of garments, from infants'
clothing to the curioui wearing apparel that
possesses names unfamiliar to masculine ears.
Here, too, is thepatehHvorJt^vith quilts ofcot-ton, silkjand worsted,jmd several specimens bygirls under 12 years old, and a crib quilt by a
y^ngmlss of four summers! Thea we passto-the domestic fabrics; where there is exhibitedan unusually large number of articles, inclu-%ng home-madewoolen blankets, woolen jeans,woole»^artdK»tton coverlets, domestic tickingand ginghams, and home-knit socks and stock¬ings. .
This department was most creditable tothe'industry and skill of our eount^-womea,.and it is a matter ofsincere regret that the gen¬tlemen appointed to award premiums, throughunavoidable circumstances, tailed to,n&ke-are-port at *V ring* of the exhibition. -We under¬stand that several members of the committewere present on Thursday and examined arti¬cles, rbut' were prevented from returning thenext day by reason of domestic affliction andother causes, and hence the failure to make theeipee^ swards, each one;'tföub'tless be^evingthat the others were attending 'to tins duty inbia absence. -« -"^ si
\ 'Next in order, we Delieve, Wert the articlesin the miscellaneous department,' in charge oftwo committeei.one composed of ladies andthe other of gentlemen. Hair, bead, wax, wil¬
low, and other handiwork of the ladies was herepresented, while the display of mechanical skillby the gentlemen elicited universal commenda¬tion. But we propose to notice the entries un¬
der this head in an especial manner1 next week,snd: will pass on to other topics.'As usual, the display in field crops attested
the superiority, of farming in this section as
compared to many other portions of the State.The samples of lint cotton were notably fine,while the numerous entries of corn cannot beexcelled on this side of the mountains. Sever¬al sheafs of upland rice attracted much atten¬tion, and convinced the most skeptical that thisimportant and nutritious grain may be easilygrown to perfection in .this latitude. Other ar¬
ticles deserve mention, but we must hasten toa conclusion.We leave the interior of the building, with
the fancy tables presided over by ladies con¬
nected with the Agricultural Entertainment,Which we shall speak of in another place, andwill take a glance at the vast crowd gatheredupon the outside.,. The horse show is progress¬ing, and we must be content to refer our read¬ers for information about the pigs, poultry andcattle to the reports of committees, for the granddisplay of horses absorbed undivided attention.The judges are seated upon the stand, as we
make an exit from the building, and the Bandis sending forth rapturous strains of deliciousmusic,-while the arena is surrounded by hun¬dreds and thousands of people.' It is estimatedthat five thousand persons were fn attendanceat this particular moment, and'it was a sightworthy to be transferred to canvass. The halter-led animals were first brought into the ring,and as the judges directed the blue and red rib¬bons tö be tied, one class gave way to another.Then came the double and single harnesshorses, followed by saddle horses, ponies, &c,until every class had been gone through with,and the premium animals indicated by thecommittee. A pacing match was next in order,Mr. Wm. Knox entering a saddle horse and-Mr. D. C. Cunningham a single harness horse,against each other. Mr. Knox's horse was rid¬den by Mr. Sam'l. Harbin, and made the milein 3.88, while the other horse was driven byMr; A. W. Thompson in 3.46J. The track wasuneven, and it is a wonder that the horses wentover the ground in* the time specified. A trot¬ting match in double harness was called for,and Mr. D. S. McCullough entered-a pair ofbay mares, but there was no competition. Withthe tost of draft horses and mules which fol¬lowed, the day's exhibition eloaed. Immedi¬ately afterwards, the premiums-awarded by the'various committees were read'out" inside thebuilding, and the premiums distributed to thesuccessful competitors.I And thus closed the fourth annual exhibitionunder ifie auspices of the Anderson Farmers'Association. .
The Agricultural Entertainment., For day8 and weeks before the opening oftheAgricultural Fair, the ladies of this communi¬ty and surrounding country bad been employedinmaking preparations for the Entertainmentintended as a benefit to the Farme rs' Associa¬tion. The immense building in which the Fairwas held, belonging to the Blue Ridge Bail-road, had been appropriately arranged andbeautifully festooned with evergreens. Oneside of the building was devoted to.convenienttables, and an elegant stage erected in the north¬ern end, while the east wing of two rooms was
set apart for the spread of substantial. Thesearrangements were completed in ample time, anda corps of ladies and gentlemen were preparedto appear before the footlights in choice and en¬
tertaining Charades. Accordingly, on Wednes¬day and Thursday evenings of last week, the En¬tertainment was opened for the reception of thepublic, and we are gratified to state that it metwith a liberal patronage on both evenings..The Charade? were particularly spicy aud in¬teresting, and some of the actors and actressesadded new laurels to their previous well-earnedreputation in that line, while several novicesappeared upon the boards and riveted generalattention by their clever representation of as¬
sumed characters.The tables alluded to were loaded down with
cakes and fancy edibles, and tho meat depart¬ment was abundantly supplied with everythingto tempt the appetite and deplete the pocketsof hungry individuals. On Thursday and Fri¬day, while the Agricultural Fair was progres¬sing, the multitude was fed from these tables ata nominal price, and many persons from a dis¬tance were agreeably surprised to find so com¬
plete a restraurant ready at hand when the "in¬ner mau" craved indulgence. As an adjunctto the Fair, leaving out of the question its prof¬itableness, this feature is worthy of preserva¬tion, since strangers particularly are accommo¬
dated and made to feel at home. The ladies incharge of the tables were untiring in their ef¬forts, and worked nobly from the beginning tomake the Entertainment a success. The wholeaffair, it will be remembered, was under the su¬
perintendence of a committee of gentlemenappointed for that purpose by the Fanners'Association, and we take pleasure in testifyingto the seal and efficiency with which their on¬
erous duties were performed. We have not yetascertained the net proceeds of the Entertain¬ment, which will be devoted to the purchase ofgrounds and the erecting of permanent build¬ings.
An Unusual Season.The extraordinary mildness of the tempera¬
ture at this season attracts much attention, aridexcites a wide range of comment from old andyoung. Fruit trees have been blossoming, andthe growth and variety of vegetables are quiteremarkable. The second crop of beans fromvines deemed worthless is a novel feature Inthis clin^ate, yet a^yery acceptable addition tothe table. We have kept no record of the tem¬perature, but presum.efthat it.would reveal .a,most wonderful lapse of summer lingering'inthe winter months. We have not yet had1 akilling, frost, although, light- skiffs-rof, hoary;Jack were seen nearly bix weeks ago. We havebeen induced to look back into tbe'päst'historyof this section, for the purpose of ascertainingif this season was unprecedented, and we find;upon record in Bamsey's History iof.SouthCarolina some remarkable statements, as fol¬lows: -'¦' *
H After the hurricane of September, 1782. theseason was so mild that all the fruit trees '.putout in blossom, and the fruit: of some ripened.There was'no frost1 until'"Christmas day, wn£nrare-ripe apples Of the second crop were cant¬ered fit to eat. Something of the same' kind,though not to an equal degree, took place afterthe hurricane of 1804. On the 12th of Decem¬ber of. that year, ripe mulberries' and ripe wüdcherries were gathered in the vicinity ofCharles¬ton. Apples and pears grew to a large size, butdid not reach maturity..Vol. 2, page 169. .;Have the hurricanes any effect upon the
temperature succeeding their visits? :We haveexperienced no violent hurricanes this fall, inthis section of the State, but other''sectionshave been visited by the most unexampledstorms of wind. It would seem that the histo¬rian, from whom we have just quoted, laid somestress upon the' fact that mild Seasons alwaysfollowed notable hurricanes, such as are de¬scribed by him.In conversation with several old persons,' we
have ascertained that there was another year.within their memories quite as remarkable as
those mentioned by Bamsey, bnt none are ableto fix the exact date, all agreeing that it was
about forty years ago. The temperature was
so mild during that entire winter that ho baconwas cured in this section, as.the/meat was
spoiled by the warm weather. Fruit t roes-
blossomed, and vegetables presented much thesame appearance until Christmas, at least, as iajnoted to-day. Are we to have a similar expe¬rience?
Sales on Monday.The attendance of persons from the country
on Monday last was not so large as we expec¬ted, yet the bidding for real estate was quiteanimated and attracted the attention of a good¬ly crowd. Through the politeness of SheriffMcGukin, we are enabled to give the report ofsales, which reveals the fact that real estate isin better demand and prices ruling higher thanat any time during the last eighteen months:One tract of land, containing 180 acres,

Be Guided by what yon Know.There is an old proverb which says, "Expe¬
rience is the safest guide." To this guide thesick and ailing naturally turn when castingabout for the means of relief. They enquirewhat a medicine hasdone for others, before theyadopt it themselves. Of all the remedies and
preventives in use, Hostetter's Stomach Bitte:smeets the test most triumphantly, and hence itsimmense popularity and vast sales. The suf¬ferer from indigestion is sure to find some one
among his friends who has been cured of thisailment by the famous vegetable stomachicThe victim of fever and ague, liver complaint,constipation, nervous prostration, or generaldebility, has only to make inquiry in the neigh¬borhood where he resides in order to discoverwhat this, standard restorative has effected incases similar to his own. In the published tes¬timony to its merits he will find a volume ofproofs of its sanitary properties, which it is im¬possible for his common sense to resist. Hetries it, and the effect it produces on his systemadds another to the host of witnesses in its favor.Thus, its reputation, founded on facts, not as¬
sertions, continually grows and spreads. Char¬latans and impostors, some of them mere localtricksters, and others who take a somewhatwider range, attempt to thrust into the handsand down. the throats of invalids, their hap¬hazard concoctions, as substitutes for the tomewhich for so many years has been a medicinalstaple throughout the United States, SpanishAmerica, Canada, and the West Indies, butonly succeed to a limited extent In this reas¬oning age, the people, having ascertained whatis really deserving of their confidence, decline"running after strange gods."
