He says his ? father's family moved from Rhode Island j to this section of the country before the war, and that he has lost all trace of them. , If any of our readers can give him any information they can address him as above.

Last Monday wo had a pleasant call from Mr. Moses Chamblee, of Broadway Township, who is perhaps one of the old? est citizens in Anderson County, he being eighty-four years old. Mr. Chamblee's general health is very good. Ho met with an accident a few years ago, which made him a cripple, and ho does not get about as easily as he would were he not so. In his conversation he alluded to our inquiry of last week as to why was the first settler in the town of Anderson, and said that bis father owned nearly all the land on which the town is now situated when it was laid out. "Whero the Square is now," said ho, "there was an old field, and I have run many a rabbit across it when I was a boy." Mr. Chamblee's father's residouco stood uear what is now known as ''Rose Hill," where Maj. Whit uer besides, and the spring on that place was then known as Chamblee's spring. We asked him who he thought was the first settler of tho town, and he replied that Mr. Micajah Webb was. Mr. Webb, he said, built the first house in tho town, and that it stood on the ground now occu? pied by the Benson Houso. Mr. Webb was an uncle of our Postmaster, Mr. C. W. Webb. Mr. Chamblee says he remembers dis? tinctly when the town was laid off, and informed us that Mr. Robert Wilson, father of our townsman,.|Mr. J. F. Wil? son, laid tho first brick iu the town. There was considerable difference of opinion among the people as to the best place to locate the town. Some were in favor of locating it two miles further south, while others wanted ft laid off two miles north of here. Mr. Chamblee moved away from An? derson in 1824 to his present home in Broadaway Township, where he has re? sided continuously ever since?sixty-two years. He has bcon a*staunch friend of the Intelligencer ever since its .exist? ence. He hardly ever uses spectacles, and sa}'s he can see to read without them. Wo hope he will bo spared to celebrate his one hundredth anniversary. ?? mam ? Rev. W. H. Strickland ns a Lecturer. We clip the following from the Shelby (N. C.) Aurora: A large audience assemblod at the Bap? tist Church in Shelby last Monday even? ing at 7.30 o'clock to hear a lecture from Rev. Win. Henry Strickland on the far famed Chinese Gordon. The lecture was delivered at the request of the Baptist Sunday School, which thus sought to learn more about a character that was full of heroism and inspiration. It is but fair to say hero that Mr. Strickland has al? ready made a reputation as an earnest and able preacher, as a bold Christian worker, and as it man of versatility of talont. In this first opportunity he shows himself ns strong on the lecture 'platform as in the pulpit, and his congregation, we believo, is liberal enough to think that the lecture platform is second only in usefulness to the pulpit It was natural, of course, for Mr. Stricklaud to look at the lite of Charles George Gordon from a moral standpoint. He gave a brief sketch of Gordon's public career from the Cri? mean War till he ended his lifo a year ago in the Soudan, The story of this man's lifo reads like a romance and the lecturer Invested it with all the charms of tictiou, and yet ho made the very facts burn with inspiration Ho dissected and aualyzed the character of his hero, and showed wherein his goodness and greatness con sisted. The audience was delighted and went away greatly edified. We are informed that Mr. Strickland contemplates a visit to his sou in. Ander? son at an early day, and we hope he may be induced to deliver this lecture to our people while here. We know it is a fine lecture, and wo know, too, that our peo? ple would be delighted'to hear it. Local Items from other Counties. Mr. F. S.

Fergu? son, after being out forty-two hours, have failed tc agree. A mistrial was ordered and the jury discharged. Tho jury re? mained almost unchanged from the begin? ning to the end. and stood eight for con? viction and four for acquittal. At the first trial only two wore for conviction, and at the second, se.-en wero for convic? tion. From this it would seom that the defence is getting weaker instead of stronger. Tho jury seemed to be very tired and some wore apparently much exhausted by their long confinement, having been kept together by tho Court under a deputy since Monday morning. The prisoner is looking thiu and weak owing to recent sickness and the suspense of tho trial.?Dispatch to Sunday News, Yith inst. William Cook and bis good wife of the Dry Grove section, for somo years wero in bad health, troubled with dyspepsia and general debility, and spent lots of money for this and that kind of medicine. Still they did not regain their health, and so they determined to go to work. They planted a general crop last year, and worked in the morning until 10 o'clock, then rested until 5 o'clock, and then work? ed ^the balance of the day. When they gathered their crop they realized f>0 bush els of wheat. 100 hush els of oats, 80 hush- 1 e'.s of corn. .r>0 bushels of potatoes and , four lnvivy half's of cotton. Besides this ! they made bacon enough to do them two years. Mrs. Cook did all tho hoeing, ex? cept two days, and the only outside ex pensc^was 50 cents. Mr. Cook is (>j ydars old and his wife 55. They are now in better health than thoy have been for years, and will try the same plan again.? Abbeville Medium. A colored preacher of this county re? cently preached a sermon from the texi, "And I saw the death moling grace stand boforo God." The burden of his sermon was tho necossity of repentance to salva? tion. But where did he got his text? If [ tho reader will read tho text rapidly once or twico he will lind the explanation ; that is, if the reader is at all familiar with tho Bible. ?But for fear this may not bo the case, we say that it is very probable this preacher bad at some time beard an? other preacher preach a sermon that pleas? ed him, and struck him as a '?powerful sermon." Ho no doubt tried to preach the same sermon from tho same text. In the sermon ho had heard, tho text had probably been repeated time aud again, and perhaps rapidly. At any rate, ho had evidently heard some ono preach from the text, "And I saw tho dead, small and great, stand bofo?o God." A Fairfield friend once told us that he heard a preach? er?not colored?in his county preach from the text, "He that gathercth not with me scratchcth a board." The reader will no doubt wonder what sort of ser? mon could be evolved from such a text; but our friend assured us that it was a very "harrowing" sermon. The reader can easily believe so when he is told that the preacher took the ground that those who were lost would have to scratch a board, and that it would not be a smooth, planed board either, but covered with long, sharp splinters. This preacher was probably iirst cousin to the one who preached from tho text, "Esau sold his birthright for a mess of potatoes."??New berry Observer. Wants Information.
