THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. BRIEF MENTION. Mr. J. O. Cunningham has English peas in bloom. The Council has remitted the street tax of the members of the Palmetto Band. Dr. J. P. Duckett is remodelling and en? larging his residence on Greenville street. The cost of jurors, constables and wit? nesses of the last term of Court aggregated $854.95. The subscription for the Irish sufferers taken by authority of the Town Council amounted to about eighty dollars. The passage fare on the Air Line Railroad will be permanently reduced from 5 to 3 cents per mile on the first of April. Mr. W. A. Chapman has gone North for goods, and will purchase a fine stock. He knows how to buy as well as how to sell. The new 3tore rooms in the Centennial House will be occupied when completed by Sullivan & Mattison and J. B. Clark & Sons. Our farmers are preparing to plant a big crop of cotton this year. Many say that it will be the largest ever planted in the County. The Town Council has decided to dispose of the Free Ferry on the Savannah River, and will offer it for sale to the highest bid? der on Soleday in April. The Court of Common Pleas adjourned on Friday morning last at about 11 o'clock, and Judge Thomson returned to Abbeville by that morning's train. Rev. Wm. Henry Strickland will preach at Mountain Creek Church nest Sunday at S p. m., and take a collection for the South? ern Baptist Theological 8eminary. Grange No. 71 will hold its regular monthly meeting in its Hall on Friday next at 11 o'clock a. m. Members are re? quested to be punctual in attendance. .Married, at the residence of Mr. Wm. T?te, by Rev. John Attaway, on Sunday morning, 29th of February, Mr. Henry T?te and Miss Ann V. McPhail, all of Anderson County. We are requested to state that in the ab? sence ol the Pastor, Rev. W. H. Strickland will preach at Bclton on next Saturday at the usual hour, and the Rev. H. B. Fant on Lord's Day. Messrs. Bleckley, Brown & Co. have bought four thousand bales of cotton this season. Their business is increasing every week, and they are now receiving a mam? moth stock of goods. The fact that there is now on deposit in the Anderson National Bank nearly one hundred and forty thousand dollars is suffi? cient evidence that there is an abundance of money in this County. Miss Lizzie Williams, of the Ladies' Store, has gone to New York for spring goods. She will lay in a large stock, and in its selection will make the object of pleasing her many customers a special one. The stockholders of the Anderson Farm? ers' and Mechanics' Association should re? member the meeting in the Court Honse on next Saturday. Officers will be elected and other important business transacted. Some of the residenters of the south side of town were favored with a serenade by the Palmetto Band on Friday night. The music was excellent, and was much enjoyed by all who reside in that part of town. Miss Mary Naramore, an accomplished young lady of Rochester, New York, who has been spending the past eighteen months with her sister, Mrs. J. Reese Fant, of this place, left for her home on Monday after? noon. Appointments of the Y. M. C. A. for next Sunday: To conduct the afternoon meeting, A. B. Towers?Scripture, Matt. 7, 1-14; Poor House Committee, G. F. Tolly, L. P. Smith; Jail Committee, John H. Clark, T. C. Ligon. The ladies of the Presbyterian Church will give another hot supper in the Masonic Hall on Friday night, the proceeds of which will go to the new Church fund. In order to accommodate those who cannot go at night, the doors will be opened at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Messrs. J. B. Clark & Sons will receive in a few days a large and complete stock of gents' furnishing goods, and a large number of the latest improved Singer Sewing Ma? chines. Mr. E. L. Clark is now a member of the firm. Their advertisement stating particulars will appear next week. We would call attention to the advertise? ment of Mr. D. S. McCnllougb, which ap? pears in another column. Persons wishing to purchase fertilizers will do well to call on him for terms, die. The brands which he is selling have been thoroughly tested, and have given vniversal satisfac* on in this County. Upon enquiry we learn that there is not a vacant dwelling house in Anderson, and that several residences are now in process of erection. Every store room in the town is occupied, and two new ones are being finished on the public square, and are rent? ed in advance of completion. The growth of Anderson is steady and substantial. Mrs. Mary Copeland departed this life on the 21st of February last, after an illness of near eighteen months from asthma. She had reached an advanced age, being at the time of her death in her seventy-ninth year. In 1842 she united with the Baptist Church at Dorchester in this County, and remained a faithful and consistent member up to her death. Married, in the Baptist Church, at Ander? son, on Thursday afternoon, 26th February, at 41 o'clock, by Rev. Wm. Henry Strick? land, Mr. W. D. Brown and Miss Lou Fant, daughter of 0. H. P. Fant, Esq. The couple left that evening on the 7.20 train for Florida, and will be gone a week or two. Monday was a busy, bustling day in An? derson. The square was jammed with wagons, and everybody seemed to be busy and in a hurry. The horseswappers were out in full force, and were as anxious to dispose of their critters as the merchants were of their goods. There was a consider erable amount of drunkenness, though hardly as much as is usual on such big days. Capt. Willis Kobinson died at his resi? dence in Pendleton on Thursday, the 26th day of February last, after a short illness from heart disease. Capt. Robinson was a native of Kentucky, but removed to this State in 1432, settling in old Pendleton Dis? trict, and soon became a popular, influen? tial and prominent citizen, so that in 1838 he was elected a member of the South Car? olina Legislature from that District, of "which the present County of Anderson formed a part. He was at the time of his death seventy-eight years of age, and al? though he had been quite feeble and infirm for several years, was not seriously ill nn til, as stated above, a short time before the fated hour of his departure. He was an excellent old gentleman, and leaves many friends who sympathise with bis wife anil children in their bereavement. At the regular meeting of the County Commissioners on Tuesday a resolution was passed instructing Mr. Bailey, the Chairman of the Board, to purchase and have erected as early as possible a wire fence apound the Court House. The fence will run from the columns at each end of the building in a semi-circle and will enclose the public pumps. The Town Council propose, as soon as the fence is erected, sodding the en? closure with an evergreen tnrf, and furnish? ing it with seats. This will be quite an im? provement to the square, and we hope the details will be carried out as at present in? tended. The election for subscription to iho At? lantic and French Broad Valley Railroad in Williamston and Belton townships in this County are over, and resulted in favor of subscription in each township. We have not received the full poll but understand over two hundred votes were cast in each township, and that the subscription was carried in Williamston township by thirty seven majority and in Belton township by twenty-seven. The election in Brushy Creek township will take place on next Saturday. We publish this week the proceedings of the Associate Grange which met in Ander? son near two months ago. Hereafter, how? ever we must insist that such proceedings shall be sent us promptly or we must de? cline them. If they are not of sufficient importance to be published at once they are not of enough interest to the public to jus? tify publishing after so long a time. We must have them while they are news, or we not want them; and while we are on this subject we would say that the same rule will be rigidly applied in the future to all communications from any source. The tournament at Farmer's Store, in the Fork, on Saturday, the 21st ultimo, was a pleasant occasion, and was attended by a large crowd. Twelve knights participated in the tournament, which resulted in favor of the following: 1st, John G. Cox; 2nd, Charles Stewart; 3rd,W. P.8nelgrove; 4th, R. G. Todd. Mr. Cox received a purse of $6, while the others crowned respectively the following ladies that night at the ball: Queen of Love and Beauty, Miss Ada Brownlee; 1st Maid of Honor, Miss Annie Kilgore; 2d Maid of Honor, Miss Emma Snelgrove. The ball was largely attended ind much enjoyed by all present. The difficulty in deciding the question as to what is the dark of the moon, propoun? ded by oar Honea Path correspondent, irises probably from using the expression with reference to two different ideas. If the term is used in its primary meaning to sig? nify the time when the moon is dark to the :arth, then it is that period of the lunar month when the moon cannot be seen at my hour of the night; but if used in the sense in which it is frequently employed, in an inaccurate way, to signify the de? crease of the moon, then it is that period which follows the full moon, and lasts to the new moon which succeeds it. The regular meeting of the Executive Committee of Pomona Grange was held in Watson's store on last Monday at the usual time. No special business matter came be? fore it. Several questions of general in? terest were considered and discussed, with? out arriving at any particular conclusion. The guano question came in for its part of attention, bat which, owing to the late day on which the propositions were submitted, was necessarily postponed for the present. The Executive Committee are strongly in? clined to the opinion that if farmers would direct their thoughts more earnestly to the consideration of the indispensable constitu? ents of profitable fertilizers, by selecting the most desirable chemicals and purchasing them in bulk at wholesale rates, and ma? nipulating or composting them on the farm, at least one-third of the expense would be saved to the farmer, and a much better and more reliable fertilizer secured for application to crops. This much suc? cessfully effected would enable the farmer to use one-third more of guano without ad? ditional cost. The Greeley Institute. The fund for repairing the Greeley Insti? tute for the education of the colored people is steadily increasing, and the work upon the building is progressing in a correspond? ingly satisfactory manner. The colored citizens of the town and vicinity are raising the necessary funds among themselves with^ out asking aid from the white people. For their enterprise and success they deserve the congratulation and encouragement of all our citizens. We hope they will all take an interest in the undertaking and subscribe the balance necessary to complete the work. It will be a credit to those who accomplish the purpose in view, and will give a stimu? lus to the work of education among their children, which will be gratifying to every one. The colored people of various sec? tions of the South are moving in the direc? tion of a higher education, and we are par? ticularly pleased to sec so much interest manifested by the colored citizens of our own community. In doing this work themselves J.ey show a pride and public spirit which is admirable, and we are satisfied that so soon as the work undertaken by them is completed they can easily obtain the assistance which may be necessary to render their school not only efficient, but an inestimable blessing to themselves and their country. There is one thing of which our colored friends may rest assured, and that is that every cent they put into education will be well spent, and return them many fold in the future. It will improve and elevate their race and give to them better position and greater prosper? ity. _ Honea Path. Our farmers are busy preparing their lands for the coming crop, and a "few more weeks of jsuch pleasant weather will ifind them ready for planting.A large quan? tity of guano is being sold here, and we fear too much cotton will be planted in our sec? tion, but a large area has been sown in small grain, which, with proper seasons, will do much towards supplying the deficit of a small corn crop. One great reason why our farmers plant more cotton and less corn is, that the land3 here are much better adapted to cotton. This is beyond doubt the firest lands in our country for cotton. .One by one our young men are getting married, the last of whom was Mr. San ford Gantt, who was joined in wedlock on last Thursday to Miss Nancy Adams. Rev. Wilson Ashley was the officiating clergy? man. The young mistress now brightens the bachelor's hall where the old bachelor for? merly sat all forlorn.A negro girl from near your town was here a short time since who attracted considerable attention. She is four years old, weighs seventy-two pounds, is thirty-nine inches tall, and measures thirty-four inches around the chest. She is County raised.

D. Me. Editoe : Will you allow us a little space in your columns to make mention of a very pleasing, delightful and gratifying occasion which took place on last Friday evening at Leeland Academy, which is in the charge of Mr. W. H. Frierson, who is a young man of charming modesty and man? ners, and of promising usefulness to the ed? ucational interest of the youth of our com? munity. He is managing his school upon the improved and advanced method of im? parting instruction. We endorse him as a scholar, efficient teacher and Christian gen? tleman, and wo never speak thus of any one unless it is based upon true merit. But, however, we were highly pleased with the occasion?first, because it was unexpected and untalkcd of; secondly, because it was gotten up in such good style and refined taste; thirdly, because it was gotten up especially to contribute to the enjoyment and encouragement of the children ; fourth? ly, because the programme proved a success; and, lastly, we were laughing all the time because everybody else was laughing and vieing with each other in contributing tp the merriment of the pound party. At an early hour we arrived at the Academy, ac? companied by some of the lively, cheerful faces and voices, where we found every preparation necessary to make the occasion entertaining and attractive and complete. Indeed, we were surprised. We were not looking for such a big thing. But when we saw around the long table erected in the yard the committee of arrangements, con? sisting of Mrs. Dr. D. S. Watson. Mrs. John A. Reeves, Mrs. M, A. Snipes, Mrs. John Hall, Mrs. P. A. Masters and Mrs. Wil? liams, receiving and arranging those pounds, our astonishment was easily accounted for. Everything was arranged in such a way as to impress the minds of the children that it was intended especially for them. At 7.30 o'clock the school was collected in the Aecderay, together with a few guests, con? sisting of young ladies and gentlemen, by Mr. Frierson, who announced the pound supper ready, and that as it was leap year the little girls and young ladies would se? lect their partnera and gallant them to the table in the yard, where they would be waited on by the committee, and the in? structions were carried out with precision and much grace. The crowd formed a large circle around tho table, which was well pounded and brightly illuminated. One must stretch his imagination to realize the beauty and charms of such a festivity. Everything during the eating was orderly and mannerly conducted. It bad to be so, for every pupil was under the influence and control of the much-beloved teacher. Immediately after eating they returned into the house, where their happy spirits were elevated to the brightest glee of mirth. But there was no dancing?"not a bit of it." In fact, some of the little lovely ones asked us to assist in keeping it down. But just at this time, when all was noise and laugh? ter, Mr. P. A. Masters and his two sons, Joe and Reuben, and Mr. J. H. Masters, filled the region around with instrumental music, such as many of the little ones never heard before. It was the first time we ever saw our friend, P. A. M., in his true clement. We had this thought: that there is much hidden musical talent in the world that nothing but a desire to please and encourage children can develop. Those children will never forget that music, will never forget that pound party at Leeland Academy, and will never forget the happy moments of that evening. We hailed and welcomed it as a favorable omen of the future success of the school. We partici? pated in it as a demonstration of confidence and appreciation of the teacher, as well as to encourage the children and to give va? riety to their monotonous school days. At 10 o'clock we adjourned by order of the committee. *** Uiekory Grove, S. C. Atlantic and French Broad Valley Rail? road. Belton, S. C Feb. 23, 18S0. Me. Editob: I desire to give through your paper the following reasons why I think we should all vote a tax on the Atlantic and French Broad Valley Railroad, former? ly known as the Bclton, Williamston and Eoslcy Railroad. L Every railroad which has ever been built across the Blue Ridge running into the great valley of the Mississippi, as this does, is a paying road with a premium on its stock. I believe the least premium is 50 per cent, on its stock, that is one dollar is worth one dollar and fifty cents, so that likely we will not lose our taxes, as each taxpayer according to our charter is a stock? holder in the road to the amount he pays, and I feel sure that after the road is built there will be a premium on its stock. 2. The competition caused by building this road will reduce the freights on our corn, cotton, bacon, flour, guano, etc., I think, enough to doubly pay the small tax. We are not asked to vote every year, and this reduction will last through all time, but our tax can not be for more than four years, as the law is plain on that as language can make it. 3. I feel quite sure that by building this road all our real estate will be raised in value in five years more than the amount of the tax we pay. 4. All the school taxes resulting from this road are bound to be kept in the township through which it runs and applied to the free schools, which, I hope, will enable us to run our free schools for ten months in the year. Certainly this is a very impor? tant item to all the poor children in our townships, and this tax will last to educate future generations. 5. By building the road we will greatly increase the property of our County and reduce the taxes, as the more property we have the less per cent, it will take to pay the expense of keeping up our bridges, poor house and other necessary expenses. This reduction will be for all future time. For these and many other reasons, I do think it is to the interest of every man to vote for this little tax and secure the road. I feel quite sure that in ten years no one will regret that he voted Tor this tax, as every man will feel proud that he helped to produce the great improvement and pros? perity which will certainly follow the com? pletion of this great railroad. Respectfully, W. C. Brow*. John 15. A dt;or, Jr. It is always sail to record a death, and the sadness is increased when the good, the young, the strong die, just when a new ca? reer of usefulness in the Church, and of comfort and helpfulness amid their homes and loved ones seems opening before them. The tender sympathy ofthc whole Church will go out to the Rot. Dr. John B. Adger and family, at the news of the death of his only son, John B. Adger, who died Janua? ry 3, from wounds received by beinc thrown from his buggy a few weeks ago. Both his legs were broken by the fall; and though hopes of his recovery were entertained at first, unfavorable symptoms soon appeared, and the skill of physicians and the tender watchful care of friends could not save him. The time to depart had come, for the Lord had called him to himself. During the period between his hurt and his death?days of physical suffering to himself, and of hope and fear, suspense and agony to his friends?he was calm and pa? tient, saying, after asking his physician if there was any hope of life: "If I am to die, I am ready to go." He was ready, because his trust was in that Saviour who said, "Be ye therefore ready." It was natural for him to be ready to meet Jesus in death, for his life had been with him. Mr. Adger was not only known as the son of Rev. Dr. Adger, whom we all honor, but was personally known and esteemed, espe? cially in Mississippi and South Carolina. After a thorough training at the University of Virginia, he went through a course of scientific study in Germany ; and on return? ing to this country he was made Professor of Chemistry in the University of Missis? sippi, filling the position faithfully and ably. Close application to professional duties in? jured his eyes, and he was compelled to re? sign his position, and ultimately abandon the cherished hope and noble ambition of his life. His eyes never recovered from the injuries they received, and his desire to be useful to his fellow-men, and serve his Master as a Christian teacher of science? "an interpreter and priest of Nature"?ex? pounding God's thoughts in his works, and showing men how to apply these thoughts to life's uses for the welfare of society?this noble desire he had to surrender. All this disappointment could not but be a sorrow to him?a sorrow shared by his family and friends. But when in spite of all these severe dealings, he could still trust the Heavenly Father who directed and overruled them ; when his life, in spite of its disappointment, remained that of a son, that life was no failure. This grief falls with increased weight just now upon the bereaved father; for since the recent financial disaster in the family this only living son was a special prop and com? fort to his parents. But there is another circumstance which makes the sorrow for this death peculiarly pathetic. A short time before the accident which caused his death, Mr. Adger was elected elder of the church at Pendleton, S. C, of which his father is pastor, and on the Sabbath subse? quent to the accident he was to have been ordained; but, as Dr. Adger wrote to Charleston, "The ordination will have to be postponed." Yes! "postponed," for "God had ordained him unto eternal life," and called him to "the general assembly and church of the first born in heaven." It is a comforting thought to all the bereaved family, that the young "elder elect" is assigned to duty with tho "four and twenty elders before the throne." He serves among the people of ancient Smyrna, where he himself (as we understand) was born thirty-one years ago, when his father was missionary there. He can compare experiences with those Smyrna Christians, for like them he was "tried" and had "tribulation;" like them, he was "not hurt of the second death." He is now made "king and priest unto God." For, b^ing "faithful unto death, he hath a crown oplife." He is assigned a position in the the Upper University. His work, his life, his rule, are in heaven.?/. W. Flinn, in South? western Presbyterian. Associate Grange No. 1. of Anderson County, met with Anderson Grange No. 71, at the Fair Grounds, on January 10th, rep? resentatives from all the subordinate Granges composing the union being present. Inter? esting essays were read by Bros. A. B. Bow den and R. M. Burns, the former on the best method of feeding work animals, in? cluding the kind and character of food, and the latter on sheep husbandry. Both essays elicited animated and instructive discussions, participated in by nearly all the delegates present.
