She met me at the door last night, All dainty, fresh and smiling, And threw her plump arms round mo tight, In manner most beguiling. Theo, in her sweet, impulsive way, She hugged me, as she kissed me, '. Ana told me how the live-long day She'd thought of me, and missed me. She helped me off with coat and bat, :, And led me, still close-clinging, Into the dining-room, and sat Down at the table singing. V The meal was perfect, fresh-eut flow'rs, The fire light warm and rosy, Made oil seem bright, swift flew the hours And we were, oh ! so cozy! Then after supper, she and I Sang the old songs together We used to sing in days gone by? My heart was like a feather! Oar happiness made earth a heaven, And now, as I review it, I recollect 'twos past eleven Almost before we knew it. We sat there on the sofa then, She nestling close beside me, Softly she smoothed my hair, and when ? I kissed her did not chide me, i She fondly pinched my cheek, and so, Her dimpled hand upon it, She whispered: ''Darling, do you know I need a new spring bonnet?"

Tho stalks measure six feet in height, and the heads are large and well filled. He sowed rye and clover to? gether, and has a fine stand of each. It is remarkable that such a fine crop should grow under large trees. Be sure to read the new advertisement of J. J. Baker in this issue.

Such farmers never complain of hard times. We are under many obligations to Miss Belle Erskine, of Hopewell Township, for a dish of large, luscious strawberries, ac? companied by a waiter of beautiful flow? ers. Tho strawberries were tho first we have scon this season, and some of thoin were the largest we have ever seen. Such treats are always in order, and tend to make a poor editor forget delinquent sub? scribers and his troubles generally for the time being. Lost Saturday Mr. J. A. Daniels drank his usual supply of buttermilk at dinner out of a silver cup that once belonged to South Carolina's greatost son, John C. Calhoun. The cup is now tho property of Miss Annah Major, of Garvin Township, to whom it was presented by Mrs. Clem son, a daughter of Mr. Calhoun.

The correspondent is claiming too much for his firemen. At the tournament in Greenville last Summer, the Pioneers, of Anderson, ran tho same distance and threw fifty feet of water in 221 seconds, and they can beat the Georgetown record any day in the week. The greatest improvement that has been made in Anderson for some time one that will be appreciated by tho pub? lic in general?is the remodeled photo? graph gallery of J. D. Maxwell at the old stand on Brick Range. Mr. Maxwell has lately had the old gallery torn down and had erected in its placo a studio that is in keeping with the strides in the art of photography. The new gallery has been refitted with all the improved acces? sories necessary to the making of all the latest styles of pictures. The photogra? pher, Mr. J. B. Jewell, has, since the im? provement, made some of the finest pic? tures we have ever seen takeu in Ander? son. Call in and soe the scenery and ex? amine the work made under the new light and we know you will bo pleased. We would call attention to their adver? tisement in another column. The Greenville News, of lost Tuesday, says: ''Major James H. Whitner died very suddenly at his residence in West street, this city, early yesterday morning. It was soon after daylight and Major Whitner was lying on his bed in hi.s room reading. Mrs. Whitner was up and mov? ing about tho house when her attention was attracted by a sharp exclamation from the Major. On going to bim she found him lying back in a dying condi? tion. Dr. A. Wallace, who lives a few doors away, was called, but when ho reached the house Major Whitner was dead. Death was caused by heart dis? ease." Maj. Whitner was a native of this city, and leaves many friends in our midst. He was an able lawyer and an accomplished gentleman. He was fifty two years of age, and spent the greater portion of his life here. The announce? ment of his death was received with uni? versal expressions of sorrow in Ander? son. His remains were interred in Green? ville. Jim Miles and Elias Orr, both colored, while going homo from Church last Sun? day night, had a difficulty, which camo near proving fatal to the former. Miles has separated from his wife, and sinco tho ^separation he has boen trying to prevent abV of her male friends from escorting herDa and from any meeting. Orr, it seems, was a favorite friend of hers. Miles know it, and had requested Orr not to go with her again. Orr, however, paid no attention to him, and lust Sunday night hu accompanied Miles' wifo and two other womon from Church. Miles saw them leave tho Church, and when they reached Greeley street, near the Univer? sity, ho appeared upon tho scene. Orr says Miles came at him with him a stick and knife, and to defend himself he had to use his knife. Miles was stabbed twice, one wound in his left side and the other in his left thigh. Orr was not hurt. Miles' wounds were dressed by Dr. Sharpo, and at present is improving. Orr was arrested, but was released on bond to nppoar at a preliminary trial to bo held to? morrow. In company with Mr. L. I*. Smith wo j went out to Eureka School House, about four miles east of the city, last Saturday 1 night and assisted him in instituting a Division of Sons of Temperance Wo left tho city about 7 o'clock and soon ar? rived at the hospitable homo of our clever friend W. A. Geor, whero we partook of an excellent supper. Tho school house is situated a short distance b3Tond Mr. Goer's house, and after supper we repaired there, whero a goodly crowd of ladies and gen? tlemen had gathered. After some pre? liminary work, the Division was regularly organized, with about thirty members. The following officers wore elected: W. P.?L. E. Campbell; W. A.?C. H. Gas saway; R. S.?Miss Tallie Kcown ; A. R. S.?Miss Lena Campbell; F. S,?P. B Gontry ; Troas.?W. H. Goer; Chap.?D. D. Gentry ; Con.?Miss Zella Campboll; A. C?H. M. Geer; I. S.?Miss Blanche Browno; 0. S.?A. J. Keown. The offi? cers selected aro earnest aud enthusiastic temperance workers, and will do all in their power to make the Division a f-uc cess. The Division, which is composed of excellent material, will be known as Eu? reka Division, Xo. 16. The next meeting will be held on next Saturday evening, when it is oxpected that a number of ucw members will bo initiated. Mrs. Jane J. Hoyt, relict of tho late Col. J. P. Hoyt, and mother of Col. James A. Hoyt, died at her residence in the city of Greenville on last Saturday night, after an illness of about four months' duration. Mrs. Hoyt was born in Augusta County, Va., on 15th June, 1809, and was therefore in the 77th year of her ago. Tho greater portion of her life, however,, was spent in this State, having resided at Laurens for a number of years before the war. After her husband's death she resided a year or two in this city with her son, Col. Hoyt, who was then a resident of Anderson, but for tho last ten years sho has made Groou villo her home. For moro than fifty years she was a devoted and exemplary member of the Methodist. Church, and her whole lifo was full of noble acts of kindnesses and Christian charities. Du? ring her stay in this city sho mado a friend of every acquaintance, and those who knew her best loved her most. In every respect she was a most excellent lady, and has gone to that bright world above to reap her rowards. On Sunday afternoon funeral services were held at her residence in Greenville, boing con? ducted by Rev. .Mr. Campbell, of the Methodist Chucch, assisted by Rov. J. A. Mundy and Rev. Ellison Capers. On Monday morning her remains were brought to this city and intoned beside hur husband in the Baptist cemeter}', Rev, J. \V. W?lling and Rev. T. P. Bell con? ducing the funeral services. A large cono iurso of sorrowing frleuds followed her remains to tho grave. She leaves two sons and three daughters to mourn her death. Holltiud's Store Items. The fruit crop is out of danger and promises to be excellent. Cut worms are very destructive this Spring. An old lady who has been suc? cessful all her life, saj's wrap a small piece of paper around the stem of the plant be? fore inserting it in tho ground and it will prevent them from cutting. Dr. Claude E. Earle has returned from the Baltimore Medical College a full fledged M. D. He speaks of locating at Ruekersville, Ga. We wish him much success wherever he may chooso to cast his lot. Mr. Matthew Parkor caught a ten pound carp in his trap at Hardscrabblo Mills a few days since. This section was visited by a good rain on the night of the 29th ult. It was very much needed. We had a considerable wind storm on Monday evening, 2Gth ult., accompanied by a light shower of rain. No damage as I have heard of. The Holiness wave struck Ruhamah Church on Sundaj', 25th ult. Some per? fect men came over from Georgia and got up a regular old time camp meeting shout for two or three hours, sanctified two per? sons and went back apparently satisfied. We suggest that these people study self before going any farther. Burke. Hard Times. Mr. Editor : The times are hard. Monoy is scarce. Wo hear of it all over the country. Tho trouble is tho balance of trade has been against us. Wo have bought more than wo have sold. We have spent more thau wo have mado. This makes hard times. But wo need not despair. The times will get easy again. ?'Pressure is a great developer of force." Tho pressure of tho times will develop greater industry, greater econom}', and all tho recuperating forces of-the great body of our people, pressing in ono direc? tion, with corresponding economy, will restore tho times to an easy condition. Money will become plentiful again and times casj\ Property will advanco and all branches of industry revive. Then in turn speculation and extravagance will follow and the times become hard again. This is history and repeats itself. It does it every few years. But it is not just to charge our people with a want of indus? try. Just look at our farms. Nearly all the old fields taken in. Old-fashioned new grounds being opened. Miles of country may be seon whero only a few hundred yards were in view some years ago. Now the spaco is covered with well cultivated fields. Anderson County now makes over 30,000 bales of cotton, bring? ing over a million of dollars. Whore is all this money ? It went North and West to pay for goods, wares, merchandise, carriages, buggies, pianos, organs, horses, mules, corn, flour and bacon, with other articles too tedious to mention. Thoy cost more than tho cotton brought. Had they cost a little less, the times would be easy. We saw easy times in our city last Sat? urday. Threo farmers camo in ou busi? ness. Thomas J. McClnre brought a largo load of fine corn and sold it. He always sells corn. He raises his own meat and always has bacon to spare. He always sells more than ho buys. His farm is well cultivated, his buildings substantial and noat, and thrift with comfort aro plainly visible in all his surroundings. But he never sees or feels hard times. Ho hears of thorn, but don't know what they aro. The other two farmers were in debt. Thoy owed a balanco on their land. They had bought homes. One owed ?000. Ho paid ?200 out of his cotton crop last year. Tho other owed $500, and also paid $200. Tho creditor told thoni both that he rather have their notes than their money. Their homes will soon be paid for, and by the time they aro as old aa Mr. McClure thoy may own as many farms as ho does. A glimpso was had of J. J. Kelly. lie did not stop to talk. Threo years ago he bor? rowed seventeen hundred dollars to pay cash for his farm. He knows tho valuo of cash in buying. IIo paid $S00 of the debt out of his first cotton crop, ?S00 out of tho second, and the balance the third year, with a .surplus seeking other lands to buy. This nionoy was ull mado the last three years. All this in three years of hard times. Tho tariff, silver bill, Na? tional Danks and contraction of tho cur? rency don't bother these mon. They borrow money when they can make if pay, and lot it alone when it don't. These lines aro hastily penned as an off? set to tho man}' articles charging the hard times to many various causes.

Westmoreland Bros.: Near? ly two 3'cars ago I contracted malaria into my system, and .suffered greatly from time to time from it in various forms in which it developed. Sometimes had se? vere chills and fevers?indigestion fol? lowed it, and I was generally out of health. Last spring for moro than two months I was greatly troubled with a disordered condition of tho bowels, which I boliovo was the result of tho malaria still existing in my system. I visited two or three mineral springs celebrated for the cure of malarial diseases, without the slightest benefit. I was also troated as tho different symptoms developed by tho most skillful physicians, but was not reliovcd. About two months ago, 1 con? cluded to try Cali say a Tonic, prepared by Westmoreland Bros., but I must confess ! had little confidence of being materially benefited by it. I have takon Jivo or six bottles of the Tonic?from the beginning 1 felt relief and continued to improve, un? til now I feel quite as well and in as per? fect health as 1 ever did in my life, and beliovc I am perfectly well.

I have been an invalid for livo or six years past, and givo up to dio by tho most skillful physicians of Kansas and Colorado, but Parker's Tonic has kept mo alive, and raisod mo up after everything elso failed.
