THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. -.?.-? BRIEF MENTION. Agricultural liens for sale at this office. Our merchants have had a prosperous season this winter. The Williams ton Female College will open on next Monday week, the 2d prox. A few of our citizens have already com? menced gardening. The beautiful weather is too tempting. Mr. J. C. Bailey, of the Greenville Enter prise and Mountaineer, spent a few hours in Anderson on Friday. Mr. L. P. 8mith will deliver an address ; before the Sons of Temperance at their meeting this evening. -Mr. R. B. Dean, of Varennes township, -svith two other gentlemen of his neighbor? hood, caught 172-partridges' in three days Of last week. ? ' Mountain Creek Grange will meet next Saturday at 10 a. m. A full attendance is desired, as business of importance will be attended to. Messrs. B. F. Cray ton & Sons are con? verting the Centennial House into two store rooms. They will be 74 feet long by j 'about 26 wide. We were favored with a call on Thursday last from Mr. E. Keese, business manager of the Edgefield Advertiser, one of the most reliable papers of the State. Maj. B. D. Dean, of Mton/"and-Capt. John McFall, of Williamston, weje in town on Monday, looking very happy over the prospects of their railroad. / Messrs, Bleckley, Brown & Co. are hav? ing a commodious warehouse built in the rear of their store in the place of their old guano house, which has been torn down. Eev. Mr." Vemon, of Hart County, Ga., has been called to the -pastorate of Neal's Creek Chrach, :and wfll hold services every fourth Sunday and the Saturday previous. The lecture of Rev. T. F. Gadsden in Temperance'Hall on Tuesday night was well attended, and his chaste and entertain? ing discourse was highly enjoyed by-all present. yi/Lx. Joab A. Hall, of Tallavega County, Alabama, is at present visiting his many relatives and friends -in this County. He has been gone from this State about twenty five years. Wood Fant says that kitchens ought to be built on wheels, so that in case of fire they could be uncoupled from the "big house" and rolled away. .The thought is worthy of consideration. Appointments of tbe Y. M. C. A. for next Sunday: To conduct the afternoon meeting, . T. C. Ligon; Poor House Committee, J. H.. Clarke, J. A. Daniels; Jail Committee, G. P. Tolly, W. W. Keys. Abe Benson and Dave Dooley announce in this issue that they wUl run the black? smith shop near the Presbyterian Church this year. They axe good Workmen and industrious colored men. BUI Green, the negro fiddler and well . digger, was blown up in a well while blast? ing out rock, on the farm of Mr. Reuben Byrum on Tuesday, and received painful though not dangerous wounds. The meeting of the farmers called for last Friday by Maj. Russell did not convene. The farmers seem satisfied with the terms upon which the manufacturers propose to dispose of their fertilizers this year. The young people of Pendle ton had a leap year party on Friday night last, and tbe young ladies acted the part of escorts so well that it made the young men ashamed of themselves for their many short com? ings. Mr. Andrew U. McFall, of Port Royal, and Miss Lillie D. McCuUough, of Wil? liams ton, were joined in wedlock on Mon? day morning last. They took the train immediately after the ceremony for the groom's home. ? Gen. Humphreys says the Savannah Val? ley Railroad can be built as cheaply with? out as with convict labor, and the fact that such labor has not been secured is not suf? ficient cause for delay in commencing work as soon as the necessary preliminaries are perfected. There is but one tract of land to be sold in this County by the Auditor this year as delinquent for taxes, and that tract would not have to be sold if the titles were in proper shape. The tract is advertised in this issue. Is there another County in the State with as good a record? We leam from a gentleman who came over from Hartwell on Tuesday that Mr. E. B. Benson, of that place, had two little children to die of diphtheria during the past week. Mr. Benson has many friends in Anderson who sympathize with him in this sad bereavement. The Abbeville Press and Banner com? mends us for keeping advertisements out of our local reading matter, bat does not sig? nify its intention of following our example. If it is commendable in the Iktelliozxckb would it not be equally as commendable in the Press and Banner 1 . At a meeting of the stockholders of the National Bank of Anderson, held a few days ago, the following Board of Directors was unanimously re-elected for the present year: Joseph N. Brown, President; 0. H. P. Fant, B. F. Cray ton, J. W. Norris, Geo. W. Fant, S. Bleckley, J. A. Brock. The farm of Mr. Joseph B. Moore, lying about a mile or a mile and a half from the main portion of town, and which is one of the finest plantations in the County, has been purchased by Mr. Win. B. Watson. Mr. Moore has sold out with a view of moving to Jacksboro County, Texas, in the fall. The County Commissioners have ordered an election in the townships of Belton, Williamston and Brushy Creek on the question of subscribing to the capital stock of the Belton, Williamston & Easley Rail? road. The friends of the enterprise are confident that the subscription will be made by a large majority. Capfc. Wren took two photographs of the portion of the pnblic square next to Gran? ite Row on Tuesday morning. The square, as usual, presented qnite a lively appear? ance, being crowded with cotton wagons the greater portion of the day. The pic? tures reflect much credit on the Captain as an artist. The biggest humbug that has been to Anderson in a long time was the soap man that defrauded our citizens on Friday last. He had a large crowd around him the greater part of the day, and was liberally - patronized by both country and town peo? ple, several of whom lo?t heavily by bet ? ting on his tricks. In one or two instances we have heard of - small grain crops being so badly injured by grasshoppers, cut worms, and other insects that they will have to be abandoned, and ?\ the ground planted in something else. As ; a general thing, however, the crops are -. looking fine, and with a few exceptions have not been injured to any considerable '.extent. The School Commissioner publishes in another column the pro rata share of each School District of the two-mill school tax. Honea Path gets the largest amount and Williamston the smallest. The Grangers of this County will be pleased to learn that arrangements hare been made with the Greenville and Colum? bia Railroad to sell excursion tickets for the meeting of the State Grange in Charles? ton, on Tuesday, February 3, the tickets to be sold in connection with those of the South Carolina Railroad. Mrs. Martha Simpson, mother of our townsman, Mr. Joseph B. Simpson, died at her residence in Rock Mills township on Tuesday morning last at the advanced age of 94 years. She was a pious, Christian lady, and had many relatives and friends in this County who will be grieved to learn of her death. Her remains were interred in the Roberts' Church graveyard on yester? day. A letter from a friend in Ocala, Florida, brings us the sad tidings of the death of Mr. George W. Basor, which occurred at that place on the 80th of December after an illness of a week or two from pneumonia. Mr. Basor was formerly a citizen of Ander? son, and was well known in this and ad? joining counties. He was a man. of gener? ous impulses, and made many friends wherever he went The ladies of the Presbyterian Church will give a hot supper in Masonic Hall to? morrow evening, to which the public gen? erally are invited. Meats and cakes of all kinds, oysters, ice-cream, &c, will be furn? ished at reasonable prices, and every effort will be made to render the evening a pleas? ant one for all who attend. For the accom? modation of those who cannot attend at night, refreshments will be served at and after 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Dr. A. P. Johnstone will, at the earnest solicitation of the Ladies Sewing Society of the Baptist Church, give a reading and recitation in Temperance Hall on Tuesday evening next The entertainment will be serio-comical, and as Dr. Johnstone has few superiors as a comedian, those who at? tend may rest assured of a pleasant even? ing. The following are his pieces: "Jane Conquest," "Jimmie Butler and the Owl," ."Diffidence," "Jennie McNeal's Ride," and "The First Banjo." At a meeting of the County Commission? ers on Monday a resolution was passed in? structing the County Auditor to levy a tax, to be collected at the same time with the State and County taxes, on the townships in the Connty that voflW a subscription to the capital stock of tnV^avannah Valley Railroad, sufficient to ra)?e one-third of the whole amount subscribed. The amount each township will have to pay this year will be as follows: Hall, $1,166.06}; Varan nes, $1,853.33}; Comer, $1,233.33}; Savan? nah, $1,283.33}; Centerville, $1,700. He is also instructed by the same resolution to levy the same amount lor the next two succeeding years. General Humphreys' smoke house seems to have a most peculiar fascination for the feloniously disposed of our population, if we are to judge by the frequent attempts made recently to rob it of its contents, but which, fortunately, have thus far been fu? tile. The last effort was made on Saturday night between eight and nine o'clock, and when discovered the thieves had en? tered the building and had taken down several pieces of meat, and were evidently almost ready to depart with their coveted booty. They were chased out of the yard and fired at, but so determined were they on carrying out their fiendish purpose, that as soon as the General had retired and everything became quiet about bis prem? ises, they returned and made a second at? tempt to enter the building. To the Editor Anderson Intelligencer: The citizens of Pendleton beg the Intel? ligences to give room in its columns to their complaints, as the County Commis? sioners seem to have entirely forgotten there is such a place in the County. Early in November last, the bridge across the Eighteen Mile Creak, on the Maxwell's Bridge Road, fell in, and a yoke of oxen, a wagon, and its load of seed-cotton, went in with it. Fortunately, the driver escaped unhurt. For months this bridge was known to need repairs, but then we are so far from Anderson C. H. that we were not surprised at its remaining in want of them, but the County had to pay the damages. Finally, one of the Commissioners put in an appearance at the bridge on the 6th of December, (one month after the old one fell in,) and let out the contract for a new one. (We were told this delay was according to law, as it had to be advertised for a month.) The contract stipulated that the new bridge was to be completed, &c, &c., by the 16th of January. To-day is the 19th, and if there has been a stick or stone of the new bridge erected, or a stone or a stick of the old one removed, we people of "Old Pendleton" don't know it. The contractor was given only some forty days to do it in, and it could have been done, and time to spare, in fifteen at most. Are the high and mighty C. C.'s resting from the fatigue of their trip up here on the 6th of December last 7 II not recovered, could they not send a deputy to look up their contractor and report to us whether he (the contractor) has changed his mind? for it is rumored here that the price he took the contract at was so low, and as the Commissioners (so it is said) failed to bind him in any manner, he has concluded "if won't pay," and "respectfully declines." Ii the Intelligences could in? duce one of the Commissioners just to try a trip up this far, our citizens would never forget the obligation they were under, and no doubt the list of subscribers from this section would be largely increased. It could say to them: That the roads, (thanks to the weather,) are in splendid condition, that old Sol is not anything like as hot as he was when they came here canvassing, and finally that their reception will be much warmer than it was then. Hoping it may succeed in procuring relief for us, we remain, &c, Mast Citizens. P. S.?If they won't build abridge for us, please try for a decent ford, or even a foot log. _ _ Town ville.

The first Session will begin at 9 o'clock a. m. on MONDAY, the 5th day of JAN? UARY, 1880, and continue twenty weeks. Tuition for the Session, in Literary De? partment, $10 to $20, varying between these extremes, according to the studies pursued. Instrumental and Vocal Music, each $20. Use of instrument, $2. Board, excluding washing and lights, $10 a month, payable monthly in advance. Scholars will be re? ceived at any time during the Session, and charged ratably from the day of entering to the close of Session. No deduction for Tost time, except in case of protracted, serious illness. The tuition fees must be paid one half at the time the pupil begins, and the other half at the expiration of the first ten weeks after beginning.
