Teu days of wet weather inclusive, from 20th inst. to date, has thrown them back, and grassy orops are common ; but, taking into con? sideration the very backward season, I think the prospects for good crops of cot? ton, corn and potatoes are encouraging."

About thirty of the Pioneers went over to Greenville Tuesday to attend the Fire mens' Tournament. The team that will enter the contest for the prizes is compo? sed of eighteon -members, as follows.: Frank O'Donnell, Captain ; A. W. Todd, John David, A. C. Pinkind, A. C. Todd, F. A.

Prince, of Polzor, dropped in to see us last Saturday, and showed us ' an average stalk of his cotton crop. This stalk was about fifteen inches high, and came from a field of thirty acres. His crop is certainly a fine one. Mr. Prince also informed us that he had about ten acres of upland corn of tho white and ycl llow Dent variety in tassel, and says it will make a good yield without any moro rain. This corn ho planted oarly in April, more as an experiment than any? thing else, and he is now of the opinion that it will pay any farmer to plant it, as j it will mature before the drouths gen? erally set in. Those faimers who have I nover planted any of the Dent corn s'uould | make a note of this and try it next season. The Masonic Hall was well filled last Friday evening by an appreciative audi? ence to witness the rendition of the drama, "Eilloen Oge,? by the Anderson Dramatic Association.

Sullivan, Irvine Twitty , C. C. Feather ston, A. P. Johnstone, E, C. Cunningham, A, C. Pinkind, Ham Osborne. The scene? ry used was very pretty, aud added much to the play. By special request the play was repeated on Monday evening to an? other appceciative audience. We venture there is no bettor amateur talent in the State than in the Anderson Association. Death of an Estimable Lady. Mrs. Eliza Clinkscales, wife of Mr. John Clinkscales, of Hall Township, and mother of Mr. J. Fleet. Clinkscales, the senior proprietor of the Intelligencer, died at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. Geo. L. Schrimp, in this County, whither she had gone on a visit a month ago, on last Friday morning, after a long and painful illness, at the advanced age of 7G years. Mrs. Clinkscales was for years a consistent member of the Methodist Church, and throughout her life exempli? fied all those virtues that make a true, noble woman. She bore her long illness with that fortitude and patience charac? teristic of a Christian, and when the sum? mons of death came she was prepared and willing to meet it. She was a devoted \ e, an affectionate mother, and a kind neighbor, and was loved by all who knew her. Mrs. Clinkscales was the mother of nine children, eight of whom, together with her aged husband, survive her. Her remains were interred in the Varen nes grave}ard on Saturday, Rev. C. V. Barnes conducting the funeral services* in the presence of a large concourse of friends and relatives. Building and Loan Association.

It is amusing to seo how tender-footed certain blood remedy proprietors have become of late. They make much ado about "apes and imitators" when none are in sight. The proprietors of B. B.

It is a fact, known to everybody, that if we have any Hu? mor in the\Blood, it is ahmst sure to break out in the Spring months in Eczema, Erythema, Tetter, Ring Worm, Splotches on face, it., dee. Now, the reason for this it generally supposed to be the change of the seasons, and a want of abstinence from food. During the Winter, when the weather is bitter cold, we eat a great deal of grease?especially hog meal. Our whole system becomes, as it were, permeated and clogged up with our heavy diet, and when Spring comes, and hot weather begins, very few of us are careful in our eating, continuing the same heavy articles of diet, that are only ft for bitter cold weather, when, in fact, we should eat very little until our syttem becomes acclimatized to the hot weather. Most people widerstand that they have to take a dose of Pills or Calomel, or something of the kind, to prepare the system for the Sj^ring and Summer; and most of' them now bum that to prevent the "Spring Rashes," Boils, dec, they must lake tome kind of Blood Purifier?tuch as SARSAPA RILLA, with IODIDE POTASSIUM or QUEENS DELIGHT and IODIDE PO?
