Call and see them. ~;\3ay I help you to alight?" said a po? lite-clerk the other afternoon to a young lady who had drove up in her carriage. "Thank you, I never smoke," she replied coldly. Mr, Harper Tucker, of this city, went down to LowndesvHle last week on a . visit. While there he went hunting aad killed three wild turkeys?two of them at one shot.

During the past eight years eighty-two prisoners have been carried from Ander? son County to the State Penitentiary at . Columbia, at a cost of $1,357.98, or a frac? tion over $16-56 per head. Congressman Aiken is still confined to Irs bed at home. He is slowly improv? ing, however, though it is donbtful whether he will be able to attend the present session of Congress. The Commissioner of Agriculture has ? selected Br. J . W. Earle to make a test of tobacco -culture in this County. Dr. . Earle has had some experience in culti? vating tobacco, and his selection is a wise one. . The Columbia Register of last Saturday says: .'.'We are glad to learn that Mr. Wilton Lee, who was cut a few days since by young Little, in the affray at Miller Bros' warehouse, was able to be out yes ' terday."; . "I do not believe," said a prominent - merchant in our'hearing the other day,, "that there will be a car load of Western corn sold in Anderson this Spring." This will keep many a dollar inside of Ander? son County.' Mr. V/. H. Arnold, of Greenwood, a re? cently appointed railway postal clerk, on the Columbia and Greenville Railroad, has been promoted to Class 3, with a sal? ary of $1,000 per annum, to take effect from the 1st instant. The Yaughnsville correspondent of the ? Newberry Herald and News says: "Misses Josie and Su?e Garretjjhave gone to Wil liamston, S. C, to attend College. The yonng men will doubtless miss them, as they have many admirers." In our notice last week in roferenco to fxiend'Poore's new marriage ceremony, we unintentionally used .Mr. H. C. P?oreV initials when we should have written it E. H. Poore. In justice to the former gentleman we make this correc? tion. Mr. W. C. Simpson, of Toccoa, Ga., 5 called to see us last Friday and renewed his subscription to the Intellioencer. . He spent several days in this County vis? iting relatives;. Mr. Simpson is one of Toccoa's most worthy and prosperous young men. Howarth's Double Show was greeted by large audiences on Wednesday and Thursday evenings of last week. It is undoubtedly one of the best exhibitions that has ever appeared in Anderson, The panorama of Ireland alone was worth the price of admission. The Abbeville Medium of last week says that Rev. >Wilson Ashley, an aged and respectable Baptist minister of tbis Coun? ty, has married 660 couples. The last cer? emony was performed last Sunday when he united George Hawthorne and Georgi ana McCoppin, both colored. Rev. Paris Cowan, colored, of Abbe? ville County, who recently went to Ar? kansas to visit friends, has returned home. The Medium says : "He had no Intention of staying when he went. He prefers this State to the West, and indeed ? has very sensible views about the colored people leaving their old homes for a strange land." Those of our colored people who want to go to Arkansas would do well to confer with him before start? ing. Messrs. Barton & Smith are erecting an extensive, planing mill, with kilns fur drying ami sheds fur storing, on the lot they recently purchased fi om Messrs. B. F. Crayton & Sons, adjoining the Blue Ridge Yard. The City Council are planting a large number of elm and water oak shade trees on the Square and along Main street, where trees haye died or are unsightly. Itwili be substantial improvement to tue comfort and appearance of the city when the trees grow. Rev. W. D. Kirkland, who recently as? sumed editorial charge of the Southern Christian Advocate, is conducting the paper in a vigorous and able manner. He will give to tbo Methodists of the. Stato a first class denominational organ worthy of their patronage and support. Messrs. Thos. H. McKinney aud Jesse M. Smith have purchased tho harness Shop of Mr. J. Pink Catlett, and will con? tinue business at the old stand. Those of our readers needing harness, bridles, sad? dles, etc., would do well to give these gen? tlemen a trial. See their advertisement in this issue. List of letters remaining in the Post office lor the week ending February 10 : Garcy Arnold, A. S. B^'son, J. J. Gamier, J. D. Gaibel, Miss Violet Johnston, W. M. Martin, Con. Mclntyre, Rev. D. F. McJunkin, J. W. McLaughlin, Mrs. Janey Scipper, Emily Singleton, Julia Williams, col., Dr. E. Wahl (5). A special meeting of the Pioneer Fire Company will be held on to morrow (Fri? day) evening, at 74 o'clock, for the pur? pose of revising the roll, so that it can be handed in to the City Clerk. A full at? tendance is desired, and all members un? able to attend are requested to send their names and excuses in to the meeting. The young.ladies of the Exocheau So? ciety of the Anderson Female Seminary will have a Concert in the Seminary buildings on Friday evening, 19th inst., for the benefit of their Society. An inter? esting programme will bo rendered, and those who attend may rest assured of be? ing highly entertained. We bespeak for the young ladies a full house. An Arkansas editor- exclaims: "You may hive all the stars in a nail keg, hang the ocean on a rail fence to dry, put the sky in a gourd to soak, unbuckle the belly-band of eternity and let the sun and moon out, but never delude yourself with the idea that you can escape that place on the other side of purgatory un? less you pay for your newspaper." Mr. E. B. Benson has a new advertise? ment in this paper that should attract the attention of every person who is in? terested in buying honest goods at very low prices. A visit to his store will con? vince you that he means every word he says. Mr. Benson' is building up a fine trade, and we commend him to those of our readers who have never patronized him. In order to change their business into groceries strictly, Brown Bros, are offer? ing their entire slock of dry goods, no? tions, clothing and hats accost. We ad? vise our readers to give this firm an early call if they want to secure bargains in these goods. Their stock of groceries is complete, and they will sell them as cheap as any body. Look out for their new advertisement next week. We see it stated that the curtsey is to succeed handshaking, or, at any rate, people who lead in fashions are attempt? ing to make the change. Of course, this is only for ladies. Men will still have to submit to having their hands crushed with the muscular grip of ardent friends. Now,..if ladies would also abandon pro? miscuous kissing, when they meet and part, the reform would be amazing. A four-year old child of Thos. Walker, colored, who resides on Mr. W. J. Ligon's place, near this city, was terribly burned last Tuesday morning. The child was alone in the house, and by some means its clothing caught fire, /hen it ran out of the house. A colored man, who was near by, seeing that the child's clothing was burning, ran to it and smothered out the fire with his coat. The child's back was burned almost to a crisp. It lived until Wednesday morning, when death came to its relief. 'Southern Cliristian Advocate : "Rev. J. W. W?lling gives a very cheering account of affairs in his charge. A recent effort to raise money to build a new church was so far successful, that Bro. W?lling confi? dently expects to see a handsome new brick church erected at an early day. He hopes to see the walls go up and the roof put on during the present year. The spir? itual condition of the charge keeps pace with its material prosperity. About twenty-five male members pray-in public, and the social meetings of the church are well attended and of unusual interest and profit." The News and Courier says: "Rev. Dr. Lander, the able and distinguished presi? dent of the Williamston Female College, has introduced a decidedly new and a very valuable feature into the course of in? struction at his excellent institution. In a letter to the News and Courier, Dr. Lan? der says: 'We intend to appoint a pupil each day to make an abstract of the world's news from the News and Courier and present it for the use and enjoyment of the whole school.' The plan is un? doubtedly a good one. Dr. Lander will find, we are sure, that his pupils will learn moro of the current history of the times in which they live by this means than by any-other that could have been devised." Mr. Marion Gassaway, of Martin Town? ship, who is a student in the, Anderson Military Institute, has given us samples of some excellent leaf tobacco raised by himself last year. Ho worked and at? tended to the crop on Saturdays, the only day which he had at home, as ho was at? tending school here during the week, and made fifty pounds of tobacco off of a small patch. He can sell tho tobacco readily at thirty cents per pound, as it is nicely cured. We would like for Mr. Gassaway to write a full account of his tobacco crop, giving us his views on how to plant the seed, the kind ?of seed, the method and amount of labor to culfivate and the gathering and curing oj t. ^ crop for our farmers' column this month. The Abbeville Medium says : "Tho old fashioned shooting matches have been revived with some modern improve? ments. They have taken the place of base ball for a time at least, The now de? parture broke out on Saturday of Christ? mas week in the vicinity of Richard Rob? inson, near the Anderson line, and match? es have been made for nearly every Sat? urday since. A piece of white paper stuck on a plank serves for a mark. The distance is fifty yards and rilles, pistols, shotguns, parlor rifles or any other kind of gnn may be used. Turkeys, chickens and guineas are the principal prizes shot for at so much a shot. Ten shots are al? lowed for a turkey at ten cents a shot. Five shots, at five cents each, for a chick? en or guinoa. For a game chicken six shots at five cents are allowed." Mr. Jayne's advertisement of Camp Bros,' Enterprise Churn Power presents to tho people, we believe, tho best patent churn that can be purchased. The power is secured from a crank, which is attach? ed to an upright dasher and rotates it rap? idly or slowly, as one may elect. It works beautifully, and does its work most thoroughly and expeditiously. By means of it the labor of churning is re? duced until it is a matter of little trouble, involving only a few minute? of light work in turning a wheel. Every house? wife will want one when sho sees it work. Mr. Jaynes is now canvassing Anderson County, and those who wish to get a churn that does its work rapidly and easily can do so from him. He has al? ready sold tho right for Pendieton, Gar vi n and Brushy Creek Townships in this County, and will either sell the other Townships, or take orders for singlo chums, as parties may wish. Import ant Changes nt Pel/.er. The Greenville News says : "Contracts have been given out for the brick for a very considerable addition to the Beizer mill at Pelzer. Contracts have also been awarded for tho erection of thirty dwelling houses in the town for the accommodation of tho operatives who will bo required by the increase in the mill's capacity. Tho addition to be made will add about 3,000 bales to tho annual consumption of the mill and require tho increase of tho force by about 100, involv? ing the addition of about 500 to the popu? lation of'flic town, which has already about 1,500 people. So by next fall there will be a community of 2,000 or more souls with a factor, bank, one of the finest churches in the State, a telephone system and all the modern improvements except theatres and bar rooms where there was an old field and woodland loss than five years ago." Death of Dr. B. W. Bell. Died, at his homo, Clayton, Rabun Co., Georgia, on Monday night, 8 o'clock, Feb, 8,18SG, Dr. Benjamin Washington Bell, aged about GO years. Dr. Bell,- who was a brother-in-law of Mr. S. Blockley of our city, was a native of North Carolina, having been raised at Franklin, Macon County, in that State, but for a number of years resided at Walhalla, S, C, and during a part of that lime was Treasurer of Oconeo County. He had previously lived at Clayton, and returned there in the year 1874, where ho has since resided with his iamily until the time of his death. Dr. Bell graduated at the Medical College in Philadelphia, and probably no one stood higher as a physician and sur? geon than he did in Western North Caro? lina, North Georgia and upper South Carolina. Ho was exceedingly active as a man of business andjn his profession until some thirteen years ago, when his health suddenly gave way, since which time be has beon a confirmed invalid ; in? deed he was bed-ridden for eleven years of the lime. Dr. Bell possessed many no? ble traits ol character, was a strong Ma? son, and for a number of years a member of the Methodist Church. Peace to his remains. Grand and Petit Juror?.

The Carnage, Buggy and Wagon Man? ufactory of Reed & Stephens in this city is an institution which deserves the pa? tronage of the people of our County. It is an enterprise which gives employment to thirteen men, most of whom are ex? perienced and highly skilled workmen. A comparison of their work with the work of other standard manufactories will show that for durability aud finish we need not go away from homo to get first-class vehicles. This factory has a capacity of from two to threo buggies per week and four wagons, with facilities for expansion when tho demand increases. Their factory now consists of a wood .work room 24x50 feet, a varnish and paint room 24x50 feet, a blacksmith room 24x50 feet, a rough finish room 24x50, a temporary repository fur carnages and buggies 22xG0 feet, and a temporary re? pository for wagons 30x40 feet, and nu? merous sheds for the storage of timber, iron, &c. They buy the best of timber, getting most of it from the mountains of North Carolina. They use nothing but the best of material, making every vehicle strong and durable. They put up different grades of finish to suit the tastes and means of customors. Thej' are now putting up steel axle buggies with auto? matic shaft holders which are finished in different styles, and may bo had at prices proportionate to the finish. In wagons they arc using a solid collar Sweed Iron axle of their own get up, which is most excellent and strong. They use coal for fuel and have a large trade in coal over the county. When our readers wish to buy a wagon, buggy, or carriage, wo would urge them to examine the work done at this factory and get prices before purchasing. By so doing we believe they can buy a bettor article and keep our money at home. We should patronize home industry and thus promote tho general growth and prosperity of our country. Death of Mr*. K. II. Whitner. Tho many readers of the Ixtelliokn cb? will learn of the death of Mrs. E 1I_ Whitner with sincere rcgrot. Mrs. Eliza? beth Hampton Whitner, was known and identified with the citizens of Anderson by a long residence in our midst, where as the accomplished and estimable wifo of the late Judge J. N. Whitner, she was for many years one of the leaders of society. Mrs. Whitner was born in Grconvilloin August, 1S10, and was the eldst child and only daughter of Mr. James Harrison, She was married at Andersonville, S. C, in 182S, to which place her father had re? moved several years preceding. Her husband took up his resideuco at Ander? son C. H, when tho old Pendleton District was divided and this town was first estab? lished. Here they resided until the death of her husband in 1804, raising a family of eight children. Since his death sho has resided with hor two youngest daugh? ters, for awhile on the family plantation in Florida, for a few years in Greenville, and for the last live or six years with her youngest daughter, Mrs. Eubank, at the Warm Springs, iu Virginia. Sho died at Richmond, Va., on the evening of the 8th inst.', after an illness: or f. weok, which terminated in paralysis. Mrs. Whilfier has been a member of tho Presb3'terian Church from her early mar? ried life, her husband being perhaps tho founder of the old Presbyterian Church at Anderson. Judgo Whitner is buried in the cemetery of tho Presbyterian Church, and her body has been brought from Rich? mond to bury in the family lot by the side of her husband. The funeral ser [ vices were coiHlucted at the Church by Rev. Dr. Frierson at 3:30 Wednesday afternoon in the presence of a largo audience ofvtbc ladies and gentlemen of our city. Tho body was born to the grave by pall bearers :is follows: Messrs. A. T. Broyles, T. S. Ciayton, W. W. Hum? phreys, D. S. Maxwell, Dr. S. M. Orr, E. W. Brown, J. G. Cunningham and W. S. Ligon. Mrs. Whituer was greatly ad? mired and esteemed for her manj' accom? plishments and noble qualities, and her momory will long be cherished by a host of friends and acquaintances. Fifty Years Ago. Mr. Joshua Holland furnishes us the following roll of Capt. Pickons's Compa? ny, which went from this section with the 4th Regiment of South Carolina Mi? litia to the Florida war. Tho Company was mustered into service on the 10th of February, A. D. 183G, just fifty years ago.

A Card of Thanks. Mr. Editor : Pleaso allow me space in your valuable columns to thank tho citi? zens of Anderson, many of whom re? sponded to our appeal for assistance in entertaining the Couference. We appre? ciate fully the good deeds and no less kind words spoken to us Were not com? parisons odious we should mention the names of some of our host citizens of the clergy and laiity who gave substantial aid. The Conference, by a rising vote, unanimously adopted tho following ex? pression of thauks: Resolved, That the thanks of this Con? ference be hereby extended U. the good people of Anderson for theiv kindness and hospitality during this Conference session. Respectfully. J. B. M) dd i.eton. Messrs. Garrison it Duckworth, who recently purchased the right to sell Whit lock tfc Etheridge's improved plows in Oconee and Pickens Counties, have mado a partial canvass of the latter County, and have been very successful in intro? ducing the plow. They say they have no trouble in selling the plow, as a farmer, when be sees it, knows it is the verv thing he should have on his farm, and pur? chases it at once. Messrs. Garrison and Duckworth, who are among our mott re? liable citizens, will make a thorough can? vass of their territory, and the fanners of those two Counties will have an opportu? nity of seeing the plow. Messrs Whit lock <fc Etheridge havo other territoriiS to sell, and if any person wants a paying job he should apply to them. "DON'T FEEL WELL." No matter what business you are en* gaged in, whether you are a Merchant, Lawyer, Preacher. Mechanic oi common laborer, yon can't do your work well, whilo you aro baif sick and feel depressed, out of sorts. Thousands are struggling and suffering with some nervous trouble, and try to do their work, but all in vain, when one or two bottles of Pemberton's French Wine Coca will bring you good rejoicing health, lcmoveall languor and tired feeling give you strength and power to do your work, and make you enjoy life. Try it and be convinced. ? For sa'lo by Hill Bio. . . ?_ ? .. . ?
