List of letters remaining in the Post office for the week ending May 18th. Persons calling for these letters will please aay. they are advertised: Crockett Patter? son, col., Thomas H. Paris, George Reed. Mrs. Jones, wife of Dr. G. M. Jones, died at her home near this city last Satur? day afternoon, after a brief illness, aged about 50 years. Her remains were car ?". tied to Abbeville County on Sunday for . Interment. Gen. E. P. Alexander, President of the Georgia Central system, accompanied by bis secretary, his nephew and Superinten? dent Starr, visited Anderson last Friday. They came on a special train, and spent several hours here. Workmen are now engaged in tearing down the front wall of the portion of the west wing of the Waveriy House owned by Mr. L. H. Seel. A handsome, mod? ern front will be erected, and the rooms ' considerably improved. Troy correspondence of the Abbeville Press and Banner: "Miss Willie Sullivan left here on hist Saturday to take charge of a school in Anderson County. Miss Sullivan is highly accomplished, and the people of Anderson may congratulate themselves on securing her services." Last Tuesday it was our good fortune to receive a basket of the largest and meet luscious strawberries we have ever seen grown in this country. They were raised by Mrs. B. Wilson, of this city, to Whom we extend many thanks. Such t. eata are always highly appreciated. Very few farmers raise enough "rough? ness." ? It takes a lot of it to keep good stock, and it doesn't pay to keep any other Sort. Now Is a good time to think about that important matter and to arrange for filling that long felt want. It won't do to depend on the fodder crop entirely. The City Council lias purchased from Mrs- Georgie Brown shout 25 acres of land for the public cemetery. The land lies just on the outside of the southeastern limits of the city, on Eilver Brook. It is a i very pretty site, and n suitable place for the cemetery. The Council paid $50 an acre for the land. No one can take a trip through the country and not be convinced that our farmers are improving in their methods of farming. There are the signs of pro? gress and enterprise on every hand. . Never has the soil been more carefully prepared nor in better condition a' this season of the year. Tuesday afternoon the Intelligencer force were the recipients of a nice treat of ice cream and cake from Mrs. J. L. Ar? nold, who has opened an ice cream parlor in the zoom recently occupied by Mrs. MoSmith, on Brick Bange. Mrs. Arnold is certainly an adept in making both cream and cake. Her parlor will he open every day from 11 a. m. to 9 p. m., and ' during those hours she will be prepared to furnish cake, ice cream, lemonade and sherbert. She will give especial attention to orders for home use. Mr. J. H, VouHiLSseln, sr., of Germany, arrived in Anderson last Thursday and will spend some time here visiting bis son, Mr. J. H. Von Hasseln, jr. Eleven years have elapsed since the father and sou had seen each other. We extend Mr. VonHasseln a cordial welcome to Ander? son, and (rust that his visit may be a pleasant one. I ' The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Pelzer Manufacturing Company was held at Pelzer last Thursday. The reports were received and the former Board of Directors, was re-elected, as fol? lows: Francis J. Pelzer, Augustine T. Smythe, W. B. Smith, W. A. Courtenay and Ellison A. Smyth. There was no farther business of public interest. Miss Katie Wilson, daughter of Mr. W. H. Wilson, died at her home in this Coun? ty on last Friday morning, a$ed 15 years. She was an excellent, pious young lady, and a few hours before death came she sang very sweetly two favorite Sunday School hymns. Her remains were in? terred at Lebanon on Saturday, Rev. J. S. Murray conducting the funeral ser? vices. The services which began in the Presby? terian Church last Saturday morning closed on Monday night. The sermons of Rev. E. O. Frierson, of Laurens, were highly enjoyed by all those whose pleas? ure it was to hear him. Mr. Frierson is one of the most eloquent divines in the State. His sermons are scholarly and im? pressive, and are presented in such a way that a chfld can comprehend them. The Laurens Presbyterians are fortunate in having such a pastor. Whether it pays to advertise or not is no longer a question. A few days since a man at Rockford, 111., advertised for a wife and secured one who banded over to him her fortune worth $10,000. The ad? vertisement cost fifteen cents, and the man realized from the small amount well invested nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars and eighty-five cents beside a wife. Bring along your adver? tisements, but remember we don't insure for every fifteen cents invested in print? er's ink a return equivalent to the above. We would call attention to the adver? tisement of Mr. J..S. Fowler, and advise our readers to visit his store, on Whitner street, and see for themselves the exten? sive business In which he is engaged. The prices which they will obtain from him will surprise, them, as they can. buy horses, buggies, wagons, harness, Saddles, corn, hay, stock food, provisions and heavy groceries as cheap as the market can afford. Seeing Is believing, nnd those who will take the trouble to call will doubtless find their visit profitable to themselves. Capt. Lemuel Buchanan died at his home in Corner Township on Wednesday, 12th inst., after a brief illness, aged 72 -years. ?? On Thursday preceding his death be was Btrieken with paralysis, and grad? ually grew worse until death came to his relief. Capt. Buchanan was born and reared in Comer Township, and resided there all his life. He was a man of fine judgment, and was a useful citizen in his neighborhood. He was highly esteemed by bis friends and neighbors, who feel that his place will be hard to fill. His body;, was laid to rest at Generostee Church last Thursday, the funeral services being conducted by Rev* C. Pressley. On last Friday afternoon several por? tions of this County were visited by severe rain and hail storms, and in some places great damage was done to the crops In the neighborhood of Mr. S. X. Brown, near Centerville, the bail destroyed the crops to such an extent that planters were compelled to replant. In the town of I Pendleton, and to the northeast for some distance, the hail was simply terrific, the stones being in many instances as large as hen eggs. The ground was covered I with it, and in drifts the bail lay from six to twelve inches deep. Its force was so great as to destroy vegetables aad crops and necessitate an entire replanting. The damage was very great A mad dog made its appearance near Taylor's old mill, a few miles west of the city, one day last week, and bit several dogs, which have since gone mad. The dog, which was of the Shepherd species, with brown, shaggy hair, was killed. One of the dogs which was bitten was tied by its owner, and while being fed on bread the crumbs which fell from its mouth were eaten by the chickens. These chickens, after eating the crumbs, would swell up as if they had been pois? oned and die immediately. Several of the dogs that were bitten have been killed, though their owners regretted to do so, as ; they were valuable dogs. Every dog that I Is bitten by a mad dog should be killed at I once, and thus prevent the disease from ! spreading. The article of our West Anderson cor? respondent' calls attention to the action of the County Commissioners in requiring four days'work to be done on the public roads by the 1st of June, and thinks that their road should have been excepted from the provisions of the order, as their Over? seer was not appointed in the proper time. The County Commissioners intend to carry out the road law faithfully, but, of course, if there are peculiar circumstances like those which exist in West Anderson, and the people could not reasonably do the work by the 1st of June, the Commis? sioners would extend the time. Onr Com? missioners have every consideration for the people of the County, and will, in every instance, do what they think is reasonable and fair. Of course, It Is noth? ing but right for them to have all sections of the publio roads worked according to law. They are sworn to do it, and are liable to punishment if they fail to per? form this duty, but of course they will ex? ecute it with due regard for the rights of all. Death, of S. B. Trescot. The Charlotte (N. C.) Chronicleoi Sunday prints the following notice of the death of S. B. Trescot who was a son of Hon. Win, Henry Trescot, of Washington, D. C.: Mr. S. B. Trescot, who has been employ? ed as draughtsman at the Mecklenburg Iron Works in this city, dropped dead while at work in his office yesterday after? noon about three o'clock. He was alone in the office at the time, and no one knew that there was anything wrong with him until Mr. Frank Wilkes entered the office and found Mr. Trescot lying lifeless on the floor by the table, upon which was spread his paper and drawing instruments. Mr. Wilkes. thinking that probably Mr. Trescot had only swooned, telephoned for a physi? cian, and Dr. Bratton was quickly upon the spot Dr. Bratton at once pronounced Mr. Trescot dead, and the body was carried to the late home of the deceased, corner of Graham and Tryon streets, where a deso? late wife and two children awaited it His death was caused by heart disease. Mr. Trescot was a native of Pendleton, S. C, but came here from Washington city. He was an excellent gentleman, and was held in high esteem by all who had made his acquaintance. The sincere sympathy of the community will be extended to the be? reaved wife and children in their deep affliction. _ Union Meeting, The Third Union, Saluda Association, will meet with the Salem Church Saturday before the fifth Snnday in May. Programme: Introductory sermon by Bev. B. M. Pack?alternate, Rev, H. B. Fant Missionary sermon by Rev. L. M. Ayer?alternate, Rev, W. H. King. Query No. 1: "What should be done with members who refuse to partake of the Lord's Supper?" J. E. Breaaaalo and W. H. King to open discussion. Query No. 2: "How can we best promote the educational interest of onr denomina? tion?' Bev. L. M. Ayer and E. B. Murray to open discussion. The Sunday School Union will meet with the Salem School Snnday morning at 0} o'clock. E. B. Mubbay, Moderator. C. O, Bubrjss, Clerk. The Flo Nie at Erwln'u Mill. Last Friday was sol apart as the day for the annual pic hie of Honca Path Di? vision, Sons of Temperance, at Er win's Milt, on Saluda River, in 'Abbeville Coun? ty. We had received an invitation to be present, and having heard so much of the beauty of the place, the hospitality of the people and the large crowd of pretty girls who attend there, we'determined to go. Being rather a long drive, we decided to go part of the way on Thursday after? noon. Accordingly that afternoon, de? spite the fact that the clouds were hanging low and the thunder roaring around con? siderably, in company with our .young friend R. C. Webb we drove out of the city bebind an excellent horse which had been kindly tendered us by our friend Mr. John Catlett, one of Anderson's clever livery stable proprietors. We could see as we drove along that the rain of the afternoon had been very heavy, and the farther we went the heavier the rain appeared to have been. The crops along the road looked beau? tiful. Good stands of coiton and corn could be seen oh all sides, and they had been worked nicely, too. We saw almost as many corn fields as cotton patches which Is, indeed, an encouraging sign. The people are evidently working hard, and if they don't make a good crop it will not be their fault. Our drive was exceedingly pleasant un? til we reached Barker's Creek. This creek had overrun its banks and flooded the road on both sides for some distance. Seeing the fresh tracks of a buggy which had evidently gone through the stream, we drove in. Before we had gone half j through the stream, the water was nearly over the fore wheels of our buggy.' Just at this moment onr feelings can be better imagined than described. Friend Webb no doubt thought that he was going to be disappointed in seeing one whom he expected to meet at the pio nie, and we? well, we thought seriously that our Snn? day clothes were going to be ruined. We drove on, however, and reached the other Bide safely. We reached Honea Path some time after dark, and made our head? quarters for the night at the Shirley House, where it is always a pleasure to us to visit, for there we never faii to get something good to eat and to be royally entertained. Early Friday morning We drove out to Erwin's Mill, and arrived there before the orowd began to assemble. We were cor? dially welcomed by Mr. Erwin, the gen? tlemanly proprietor of the Mills, who, With his happy smiles and pleasant, cheerful words of greeting, always takes great pleasure in making these annual gatherings at his place as pleasant as pos ble. Being provided with pole and hook, In company with R. C. Webb and W. A. Shirley, we secured a boat and went up the river to fish. Friend Shirley proved himself an expeit oarsman, and after riding over the water and fishing for an hour, we returned to the pio nie grounds. This country furnishes few spots more variously romantic than this. It being our first visit tbere, we would, as we strolled around, have to stop every few steps and admire the beautiful surround? ings. We have never seen a prettier nor more appropriate place for a pio nie. The corners of four Counties?Anderson, Ab? beville, Lanrens and Greenville?almost come together here, and these Counties never fail to be largely represented at the plo nics. By 10 o'clock the people were coming In from every direction, and the beautiful lawn along the side of the river was liter? ally alive with happy, joyous faces, all bonyant with pleasant anticipations. The crowd soon gathered around a stand which stood under the shade of some lofty oaks at the lower end of the lawn, as the first thing on the programme were several temperance speeches. Bev. M. MoGee called the assembly to order, and, after prayer by Rev. A. C. Stepp, made a few introductory remarks, after which he introduced Hon. B. F. Cray ton, Hon. E. B. Murray and Rev. A. C. Stepp, in the order named. These gentlemen made interesting and forcible speeches, which were listened to very attentively by the large crowd, and the arguments advanced by them In favor of prohibition seemed to make a good impression. Other speakers had been invited, but they did not put in appearance. Daring the speaking the Triangle Brass Band (colored) arrived, and furnished music at intervals daring the day. About 1 o'clock the dinner baskets were brought out, and an abundance of good thiuga could be seen on all sides. Having accepted an invitation to dine with a fair friend, we indulged as heartily as our modesty would allow. Shortly after din? ner the clouds appeared and for awhile threatened rain. With a light shower the clouds soon passed over and everything was bright again. During the afternoon a match game of base ball was played between the Honea Path and Triangle Clubs, the latter win? ning the game. The afternoon was spent in various ways, as young people are wont to do. The occasion was one of general enjoy? ment?everybody seemed to enter into it with heart and soul. It would be difficult to find a more hospitable, genial or nobler set of people or prettier girls than was as? sembled there. Honea Path Division is to be congratulated on the grand success of j the pic nie. - We had to leave before the crowd broke up, and as we "parted by the rivor aide" a shade of melancholy tinged our feelings. We reached home that night feeling the better for having mingled* with these clever people. Denver Items. The weather the past week has been rather wet, in consequence of which fann? ers have been unable to cope with the grass as desired, and it is getting to show pretty gieen along the cotton rows. Friday afternoon, 13th inst., a severe rain accompanied by wind and bail visited this section, but did little damage beyond washing land considerably in some places. Farther up we hear the hail was terrifio; almost totally destroying young crops. The family of Mr. T. M. King has again been visited by the angel of death, making two children Mr. King has lost this year. Another child is down sick, and his father, Mr. Peter King, has been stricken with paralysis. At last accounts he was speech? less. Our sympathies are with Mr. King in his sorrows and afflictions. We had the pleasure recently of meet? ing Mr. W. P. Reid, who was on a visit to his father and other relatives near here. Mr. Reid was raised in this County, but now is one of the leading merchants of Canton, Cherokee County, Georgia. May the success that he so richly deserves attend him in the home of his adoption. Mr. J. R. Welch, an experienced bridge builder from Louisville, Kentucky, repre? senting the Edgemoor Iron Works of Baltimore, Maryland, is at work on Six and-Twenty railroad bridge. He is put ting an iron cord composed of four runs of four inch by five-eights iron and each run is four ply, making sixteen ply in all. After this is done, no trouble is anticipa? ted for some time with this bridge. Mr. W. D. Garrison, a successful and extensive farmer, in addition to his neat and well kept farm, has added the business of stockraising with gratifying results, judging from the number and appearance of his stock. Married Sunday, May 15th inst., by JohnC. Watkins, N. P., Mr. Robert Bar nott and Miss Lula Jones. This is the first matrimonial knot that Mr. Watkins bus tied, and he claims to have tied a good, hard knot that will not slip. May bless? ings attend Bob and his wife as tbey journey down the stream of life. . Jay. Fork Items." We have had continuous rains all last week, and in some places the rain was very hard, even unto hail, but the weather is very good now, and the farmers are put? ting in full time in order to check grass and push their crops. Crops look finely in every direction, and everybody looks cheerful Over the prospects. Gardens are very good and are now be? ginning to help the cook in her efforts to prepare for the demands of the inner man. On last Saturday morning, while five hands were crossing the river at the new iron bridge with a bateau, they let it Btrike a brace of the scaftuld and instant I ly upset the bateau, spilling the whole crowd, with some tools into ten foot water, and came very near drowning one colored man, but, was rescued in time. The Sunday Schools of the Methodist Churches had a big day on Sunday. It was devoted to the children, and the little fellows showed themselves and the schools off in an admirable manner with their little speeches and general deport? ment. Capt. Barnes was up with his brother, Rev. C. V. Barnes, and gave the school and children a very interesting talk and some excellent advioe. The Captain seems to be a thorougn Sunday School man. Mrs. J. Walter Dickson furnished music on an organ for the occa? sion, which was very sweet and pretty, and was very encouraging for the little ones. It would be a great help to the school to have an organ and music. Capt. Sbarpe, has secured Messrs. Bolt. <ft Son, with their saw mill, to locate on his place and furnish him lumber to build bim a fine bouse at the old place, and they are now making the woods ring. , _ Ivon. Holland's Store. Cotton chopping is claiming our atten? tion at present. All have good stands, and it looks as well as could be desired, for its age. M We have been visited by frequent rains for the last week, which were^ gladly received. We had quite a storm on last Wednesday, the 11th, accompanied by the heaviest rain we have had the present year, doing considerable damage to bottom lands on small streams; also breaking over upland ditches, carrying everything before it. Wheat and oats have come out wonder? fully for the last few days, showing that rain was what was needed. Wheat will not reach its usual height, but it seems to be well developed in other respects, being free from rust, so far as I can learn. Gardens have put on a new appearance, and seasonable vegetables adorn the tables of our people. The "varment," which we spoke of some weeks post, still holds the reins over the colored population. They will not venture out at night for any consideration, work with guns strapped to their'sides, and what little sleep they get is done with one eye open. It is now said to have slipped up on a colored woman on Mr. E. J. Earle's place while sweeping her yard and grabbed her. She succeeded in getting loose, and wore a chair, that was sitting in the yard, out over it, after which it went one direc? tion and she another. Upon being ques? tioned as to its looks, color, &c., she said it looked like the old fellow himself, and was a grizzly color. There is considerable sickness through? out this country at present, mostly con? fined to the children. Dr. Witherspoon, our wide awake and generous-hearted phy? sician, is kept busy. A sick person could rarely fall into safer hands. He justly merits the high esteem with which our people hold him. Temperance seem to be gaiuing ground, as our-people become better acquainted with the bill, which was misconstrued by our anti friends at first Since the bill was published, with the explanation of each section by Mr. Murray, we don't bear so much about it. The truth of the matter, in a nut shell, is that Murray is the one that they are averse to, and not the bill. Mr. Banks Wright, while walking out near bis house a few days ago, heard the groans of some one, and upon investiga? tion found a man down on the roadside in a helpless condition. He procured help and carried him to his house. He learned i from him that his name was Bond, and that be lived in Abbeville County. He was making his way to Georgia, where he says he has relatives, and by exposure, lay? ing out at night, Ac, contracted pneu? monia. He is some 30 years of age ; says he has a wife and one child, Dr. Wither? spoon is attending him, and thinks that it will be a close shave if he weathers the storm. Burke. Lebanon Items, The measles have somewhat subsided, but not without sad effects. The community was saddened on Mon? day, the 9th Inst., by the death of little Hattie, daughter of Mr. M. B. Richard? son, and also on Friday, the 13th inst, by the death of Miss Katie Wilson, daughter of Mr. Wm. Wilson. Miss Katie was just in the bloom of life, having passed fifteen summers, when the angel of death called for her spirit. She bad been going to school at Lebanon until about the time of her illness, which was some two weeks before her death; she also attended the Sunday School regularly. Although she was not a member of any Church, yet before her doath she expressed a devout hope in Christ, saying just before her j death, "I know that Jesus will save me." i Her last words were, "Farewell, mother, farewell, father, I am going home." Her coffin was laden with flowers brought by her many friends and relatives who came to see the last of their departed friend. After appropriate and very touching funeral services conducted by Rev. J. S. Murray, her remains were interred on Saturday in the Lebanon cemetery, amid&t the tears and sobs of almost every one present. Her death was lamented by the whole Sunday School, which, after sing? ing hymns, expressed their feelings of respect for the departed one in resolutions of sympathy and sorrow which were unanimously adopted. Several other cases of sickness exist in the neighborhood, but we are glad to say to their friends that all are convalescing, On last Tuesday, the 10th inst., a'crowd of neighbor men went to work out the crop of Mr. Robinson, whose wife has been sick for several weeks past, and whose crop began to need work from the lack of his inability to attend to it. That evening Mrs. Brock, wife of Mr. Reuben Brock, while riding a horse to see Mrs, Robinson, was thrown off, and in the fall received painful injuries. A physician was summoned and we hope she will soon be over the effects of the fall. A little hail fell the other day; but it did no damage, except that some of the farmers were considerably scared, think? ing that a hail storm was coming. Mr. T. H. Garrett, who has been teach? ing at Liberty Springs this year, is, since his vacation, going to school at Lebanon. He seems to be in dead earnest about an education, for he walks four miles to school. The Lebanon Church is now being painted, which will probably be finished in two or three weeks. Dknos. To the Ladles. We have just received another large lot of White Goods and Laces. Never before have we purchased such lovely goods at such low prices. Crinkled Seersuckers, Sets; White Goods fully 20 por cent, cheaper than they are being sold else? where. We shall be delighted to show you our second Spring stock, whether you buy or not. Respectfully, C. F. Jones <fe Co. If you have money to spend this month it will pay you to go to C. F. Jones <fc Cof 0. F. Jones & Co.'s White Goods are lovely and so very cheap. West Anderson Dots. Time lias moved on and has brought rain and grass by the wholesale. It seems strange that man is so hard to satisfy. When it is dry we grumble, when it is wet we grumble, when it is hot we sweat and grumble, when it is cold we grumble, and when we ride over rough roads we grum? ble, and when we have to work the roads in May we grumble. We halloo hurrah for Murray and the road law, but do not think the Commissioners did us exactly right in not appointing an Overseer on our road in time so that we could have put the four days on it by the first of May. They have just appointed an Overseer for our section, and then put out orders to work in May or risk the law. If we had been busy in our crops some of us would have risked it, for we do not believe there is any law to force a man who is willing to do his duty at the right time to leave his crop at this time of the year to work the roads, just because some other man failed to do his duty. We would agree with Uncle Jimmie to have a little spirits, if we could do as he does?use it without abusing it. But that is the point. We young fellows cannot do that; so if we wish to save the young gen? eration from whiskey-drinking and drunk? enness, let us vote it out of the country, and when it is out of our sight then the temptation will not be so strong; and if we keep it out long enough the next genera? tion will know nothing about it, and will care nothing for it. Crops generally are looking fine, and far ahead of last year at this time. Idem. Trinity Items. The crops ure looking well. We bad a little rain every day from the Gth to the 13th, inclusive. The farmers have armed themselves with hoes and plows, and have marched into the battlefields of Gen. Green. Mr. Wm. Smith has a pair of twin chickens which were hatched from one egg. Who can beat it ? Mr. W. B. Smith and Mr. P. H. Brown, Road Overseers, have done the best jobs of j work on their roads of any that we have seen. We have organized a young men's prayer meeting (for young men only), which meets every Thursday night. Our prayer meeting for the general public meets every Saturday night. Mrs. Julia Gentry, while looking at a hen's nest, fell and seriously hurt her knee. Singer. Anbury Items. This section was visited by a severe hail storm lost Friday afternoon, doing con? siderable damage to the growing crops. There is some sickness in the neighbor? hood, and in a few cases it has proven fatal. Our Sunday School is in a very flourish? ing condition, and is doing a good work. Last Sunday, in addition to the regular exercises, interesting essays on appropri? ate subjects were read by Misses Sallie Bolt, Etta Bolt, Fannie Stevenson, Lucy Martin and Maggie Stevenson, followed by an address from Mr. M. D. Mays. Several of the roads in this section will have to be worked over, as they do not come up to the requirements of the law. J. Resolution of Thanks. At a meeting of the Pioneer Steam Fire Engine Company on the 16th inst, the fol? lowing resolutions, on motion of James M. PayDe, were unanimously adopted by a rising vote: 1. Resolved, That the thanks of this Com? pany be, and they hereby are tendered, to the citizens of Anderson who so generously con tributed money to enable us to attend the "Mecklenburg Anniversary and Fire? man's Tournament" at Charlotte, N.C., on the 20th and 21st inst., and contest for the various prizes offered on that occasion, 2. That we shall ever hold in grateful re? membrance the ladies of Anderson for their liberal contributions to our late festi? val, and their invaluable assistance in man? aging and supervising the same. 3. That whether in Anderson defending our homes and persons from the insatiate fire-fiend, or abroad engaged in honorable contests of skill with other like organiza? tions, we shall ever esteem it a most sacred duty to so condnct ourselves, both as indi? viduals and as a Company, that the people of our fair city may feel a just pride In the Pioneers, and a confident assurance that, on whatever field they may stand, duty will be performed and honor kept bright, will control the conduct of all its members. 4. That a copy of these resolutions be published in the Anderson Intelligencer and Journal. By order of the Company. Jas. N. Watkins, Sec. and Treas. Pioneer S. F. E. Co, A Wonderful Discovery. Consumptives and all, who suffer from any affection of the Throat and Lungs can find a certain cure in Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption.
