Prue Sloan, of this city, and Miss Mamie Prevost, eldest daughter of Mr. J. Willet Prevost, of this County. An exchange gives the following advice to married women: Always remember that you are married to a man and not a god. We think the advice would suit the young men equally as well: always re? member that you are not going to marry an angel, even if she is good. We are.requested to announce that in consequence of sickness in the families of the ladies in charge of the matter, the serving of ice cream, and refreshments for the fund of the Ladies' Working Society of the Baptist Church has been postponed until next Wednesday evening.

Earle has a host of friends in Anderson County, and we are always pleased" to see him in our midst. We would direct the attention of our readers to the new advertisement of Hill Bros., who are agents for the American Fruit Preserving Powder, a preparation that is well known in Anderson County. It needs no commendation to those who have used it. But we advise those who have never tried it to give it a trial. It preserves any kind of fruit, and does it in a most satisfactory manner. The Greenville News, of last Sunday, says : "The revival in the Baptist Church at Piedmont conducted by the Rev. M. McGee has been remarkably successful.

He ft all the attention which medic?SHKd the tender caro of family and friencrs can do. Even against hope we trust that ho may yet recover. Our city has in store a rich treat next Thursday evening, when Mrs. McSmith, aided by a number of young ladies of the city, will present, in the Masonic Hall, the celebrated Fan Drill. Under her management it has been presented to large audiences in several cities, where it was enthusiastically received. In addi? tion to this, many other,, attractions are on the programme, which will add to the pleasure of the evening, and which will be announced in our next issue. The en? tertainment is for a most worthy object, and will no doubt be largely attended by our people. In another column will be found an in? teresting advertisement of the live dry goods house of M. Lesser, Agt. Not ono of our many readers should fail to give it a careful perusal, as it contains informa? tion that? wiU benefit every person who needs anything in the dry goods line. Mr. Lesser has a large stock of goods, embracing everything usually kept in a first-class dry goods house. It will pay you to call at his store, even if you have only a dollar to spend, for his counters are full of bargains. The times are hard, and every dollar saved is a dollar made. The ladies, especially, should not fail to give him a call. Miss Edith Adams, eldest daughter of Mrs. E. P. Lower}-, of Seneca City, died last Saturday atSumter, S. C, where she was attending school. Sho was ill only a few days, and hor death was a grenlahock to hor family, who did not receive tho news of her illness until about the time the news of her death was telegraphed to them.

The Commencement exercises of this deservedly popular educational institute began last Thursday evening and contin? ued through Friday and Friday evening, and throughout they were highly satis? factory and gratifying to all whose pleas? ure it was to attend. The exercises took place in the spacious chapel of the school building, which has been the scene of so many brilliant occa? sions of similar character. Tho rostrum was decorated in a simple but beautiful manner, showing that fair hands had come to the assistance of the cadets. On Thursday evening the weather was a little threatening, but, despite this fact, i at 3* o'clock the chapel was filled to its J utmost seating capacity with a very intel? ligent audience, many persons having come from some distance in the country. The rostrum was occupied by tho facul? ty, the cadets who were to speak and representatives of the pulpit and press. At the appointed hour the exercises of the evening opened with a lively air by the Young America Cornet Band, after which Rev. Thos. F. Gadsden offered up a fervent prayer for God's blessing upon the educational institutions of our coun? try, and especially upon those in our own midst. Prof. Ligon then, in a few remarks, thanked the audience for the interest manifested in the exercises by their presence, and concluded by intro? ducing, as the first speaker for the even? ing, Mr. Ralph W. Brown, of this city, who made an excellent speech on tho sub? ject, ''If Priam's sonsslumbor, Troy must fall." Mr. Brown was followed by Mr. C. H. Cannon, of Newberry, who delivered a well-prepared speech on the subject of "Personal Influence." Tho next speaker was Mr. C. F. Young, of Lowudesville, who had chosen "Jour nalum" as his subject. It was a very go.>d speech. Mr. W. L. Anderson, of Anderson County, followed next, with a forcible speech on "The Evils of Whiskey." Capt. F. C. DuPro, of Abbeville, fol? lowed Mr. Anderson, on the subject, "Im? provement of Time," which ho handled in an able manner. Mr. M. Gassaway, of Anderson County, was the last speaker. His subject was tho "Force of Habit," and his speech was a fine one. These young gentlemen acquitted them? selves in a mcst excellent manner, which was no doubt very gratifying to their teachers as well as to their friends. The speeches were short but full of argument, evincing fertile brains. Each speaker was liberally applauded, and as soon as he would take his seat the marshals would advance and pile numerous bou? quets upon his lap, the offerings of lair friends in the audience. The speeches were interluded with ex? cellent music from the Young America Cornet Band. At 10* o'clock Friday morning another large audience was present. Tho exer? cises wore opened with prayer by Rev. T. P. Bell, after which the following boys, in the order named, delivered extract speeches upon the subjects quoted : Wiley Darden, Anderson?"Beauties of Nature." Walter Watson, Anderson ?"Hohen? linden." Newton Brown, Anderson?"Sword and Staff." Ernest Wakefield, Abbeville County? "Patter of the Shingle." Joo McGee, jr., Anderson?"Rienzi to the Romaus." Frank Moorhead, Anderson County? "Fuss at Fires." J. Olin Mattison, Donalds?"America." Edgar Scott, Anderson?"Alliugton's Defence." Geo. A, Miller, Anderson County?"Bi? vouac of tho Dead." Keys McCnlly, Anderson?"Marnnon and Douglass." The extracts wore well delivered. Those delivered by Ernest Wakefield and Frank Moorhead were humorous and brought down tho houso. Tho city of Anderson and tho Anderson Military School may well bo proud of the number of fine, promising boys growing up to take the place of the young men now pre? pared for College and for tho active du? ties of life. It may be well to state that these boys did not know they would be expected to speak until the Monday pre? vious. At 12 o'clock Rev. Wra. Henry Strick? land, of Shelby, N. C, delivered tho an? nual Commencement address, his subject being the "Bright Side of Things." His address was thoroughly interesting from the beginning to its close, abounding in wit, sarcasm and mirth, impressing wholesome truths in a most pointed and abusing manner. His audionce was re? peatedly convulsed with laughter, aud he held their untiring attention throughout. Mr. Strickland is a strong speaker, and with an exhauslless supply of anecdote and practical illustration, never fails to instruct as well as to please an audionce. The music for the day was furnished by a baud made up of the school boys, con? sisting of a cornet, guitar, two or three harmonicas and a triangle. The boys played altogether by ear, but they made Hue music, and it was highly enjoyed by the audience. Tho weather was threatening again on Friday night, but this did not prevent a largo turn out of people, aud by Si o'clock the chapel was filled with a larger audi? ence than on the preceding evening. Tho exercises of tho evening were under the auspices of the Calophomian Literary So? ciety. After prayer by Rev. T. P. Boll, Mr. Ralph W. Brown, Presidont of tho Society, in a few appropriate remarks, welcomed the audience, and announced the following query for the debate: "Is the mind of woman inferior to that of man ?" The affirmative side of tho ques? tion was represented by Messrs. M. M. Lander, of Williamston, and M. 0. Ligon, of Andorson, and the negative by Messrs. W. H. Strickland, jr., of Shelby, N. C, and P. T. Gadsden, of Anderson. These young gentlomon maintained their re? spective sides of tho question in an ablo raanner, and their speeches iwould have been very creditable to a college gradu? ate. The speeches wcro well received by the audience, and tho young gentlemen deserved tho liberal applauso and numer? ous bouquets of Jlowcrs they received. At tho conclusion of the dobalo, Mr. K. E. Browne, of Anderson County, was in? troduced and niado a fine speech on the subject, "What uro you going to do?" T1ju'mjh!vcIi was full of wliolosoiuc advico to his fellow-students. I to was followed by Mr. M. M. Mattison, of Donalds, who spoke on the subject. "A good cause makes a stout heart." His speech was a fiuo production. The exorcises were concluded with tho valedictory address by Mr. V. I. Masters, of Anderson County, who acquitted him? self in an admirable manner. . The Young America Cornot Baud was present and rendered delightful music at intervals during tho evening. Thus closed another prosperous year of tho Anderson Military School. The ex? ercises throughout reflected the greatest credit upon Profs. Ligon and Clinkscales, who have few equals as teachers of boys. The Art Exhibition. Tho Art Exhibition of the Anderson Female Seminary on last Tuesday even? ing attracted a large crowd of the lovers of the beautiful. The collection was made up of work oxecuted during tho past ses? sion. There wore about one hundred and forty specimens displayed, and some of them would bear favorable comparison with the work of more pretentious artists. Out of the many, we regret to be able only to mention a few of the pictures. Among the oil paintings, the following appeared to us as the most meritorious: By Mrs. Ayer: "Spring," a figure clad in delicate green, typical of that season, "A Kennel of Dogs,'' "Tho Neapolitan Boy," "A Fisherman's Daughter." By Miss Lulah Ayer: "The Death of tho Stag" (from Landsecr's), "Moonlight in Egypt."

By Miss Amelia Brown: "A Breton Peasant,"?one of tho best executed pieces on exhibition?representing an old man smoking, "Tho Compulsory Prayor," rep? resenting statuary'. By Miss Eva Nardin : Two large ebony panels?cactus and roses?beautifully fin? ished up to the smallest detail. By Miss Carrie Ray : Two canvas pan? els?birds, thistles and apple blossoms.

Smith : A fancy face, sev? eral panols, "Titian's Moses," "Cupid and his arrows." By Miss Blanche Goodmau : "Psyche on first hearing hearing tho flute," "Qui? etude"?a young girl in a hammock. Among the crayon work, the following deserve mention: - A life-like and very finely executed portrait of Dr. Nardin, by his daughter, Miss Eva ; also one of Mr. D. Prue Sloan, by the same fair artist. A portrait of her father, by Miss Lizzie Wilkinson. A portrait of herself, by Miss Carrie Ray. A portrait of her father, Mr. E. W. Brown?a speaking likeness?also one of Mr. S. Bleckley, by Miss Amelia Brown. A portrait of her father, by Miss Moss. A portrait of her mother, by Miss Nel? lie Towers. A child and nurse and cows' heads, by Miss Belle Stuckey. "Camelia going marketing,'' by Miss Irene Goodman. A portrait of Mrs. Bagby, by Miss Blancho Goodman. There were a number of cards, panols, plaques {brass, porcelain, wooden, tin and papier mache), and vases exhib exhibited, all of which elicited gen? eral admiration. Even the unskilled in matters of art could appreciate tho .many works that eloquently bespoke tho untiring zeal and the thorough competen? cy Miss Goodman, as a teacher, has dis? played. Sho leaves for her home in Vir? ginia in a few days, and in the regret, which her many pupils feel at her depart? ure, the entire community joins, and bids her success wherever hor future field of labors may be. This exhibtion was the opening of the Commencement exercisos of the Semina? ry, which conclude Friday evening. Holland's Store Items. General Green is reaching upward and outward, and moves steadily on regardless of the poor farmers' long faces. Cotton continues dying out owing to so much rain. Upland corn is looking very well, too wet for cotton land so far, wheat is ready to cut, and where it is thick enough promises pretty fair. The farmers' have their hands full just now, and will have to move early and late to catch up. Hogs arc dying in this vicini? ty supposed to be mushrooms the cause. Generosiee Creek was higher during the recent rains than it has been in 21 years. Burke. Seneca Singing Convention. Tho Seneca Singing Convention met with Asbury Church, May 23rd, 1SSG.

Its wonder? ful efficacy in this respect entitles it to be called "Mother's Friend" and to be ranked as one of the life saving remedies of the nineteenth century. From the nature of the case, it will of course be understood that we cannot publish certificates con? cerning this remedy without woun? ding tlie delicacy of the writers. Yet we have hundreds of such tes? timonials on file. Send for our Treatise on "Health and Happiness of Woman," mailed free. The Bbadfielp Regulator Co., Atlanta, Ga.
