Russell, of Fork Township, wore bereaved by the death of James, a bright and promising son of 11 years of age, on last Tuesday afternoon, from the effects of measles. He had re? covered, but relapsed about ten days ago, and nothing which medical skill or the affection of loved ones at home could do was able to aveit the sad ond which came so soon. James was a model boy with a bright mind and noble impulses. A use? ful man for the future has fallon in a boy's grave. We are glad to note the fact that Mr. N. A.

A: Dean, of Yarennes Township, ?ied on Sunday evening after an illness of one week. She was a bright and inter? esting girl of eight years of age, and her bereaved parents have the sympathy of many friends throughout the County. Her remains were interred in the ceme? tery at Cross Roads on Monday morning it 11 o'clock a. m., after appropriate funeral services conducted by Rev. H. M. alien, which were attended by a large number of the relatives and friends of the deceased. Mr. Dan'l F. Ragsdale, a highly esteem? ed citizen of the Eastern side of the Coun? ty, died at his home near Toney Creek last Friday sight of typhoid dysentery, aged 76 years. Mr. Ragudale had been a faithful and consistent member of the Baptist Church for more than fifty years, and was a most excellent citizen in every respect. ~ He wbs a hard-working, indus? trious man. and his neighbors say he never had an enemy. Hi& wife survives bim. His remains were interred in the graveyard at Shady-Grove Church on Sunday, Rev. M. McGee conducting the funeral services. Wilson Bradley, an aged colored man, while attempting to cross the C. & G. R. R. track at Honea Path, on Wednesday night of last week, in front of the west? bound freight train, was struck by the pilot of the engine and thro wn some thir? ty to forty feet, with such force as to break his limbs and otherwise fatally injure him bo that he died at noon on Friday. It is not known whether he knew the train was so close to him or failed to cross as rapid? ly as he expected. Trial Justice Trussell, of Honea Path, held an inquest over the body, and the jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death by being struck by the engine of the freight train, as stated above. No blame seems to at? tach to the engineer for the accident. Some persons, are complaining that the return train from Belton to Anderson, on the 0. &> G. R. R., has been discontinued for the summer. We are sorry for it, and are also sorry that the evening train on the Savannah Yalley has been left off. The trouble is that neither of these trains paid, and hence they were discontinued. We cannot see that it was any worse for the C. <fc G-. to stop its train than for the Savannah Yalley to stop its train?in fact, the stopping of the Savannah Yalley is the greater inconvenience of the two. It was a matter of business in both in? stances, and we hope that both of these Roads will soon restore the discontinued trains. In fact, we understand that when business sets in this fall they will do so. Mrs. C. R. Murray's school for young ladies closed for the Summer on last Fri? day, and the occasion was celebrated by a pic nie upon the lawn and grounds sur? rounding Mr. ?. B. Murray's spring. The school and a number of guests in? vited by the scholars, enjoyed the day to the fullest extent with croquet, rowing, swinging, promenading, conversation, music and in other ways. A most abun? dant and sumptuous pic nie dinner was partaken upon the lawn, and everybody seemed pleased. The little ones, perhaps, had the best amusement of all, wading and paddling in the water. The school will re-open in September, and if the scholars enjoy the balance of their vaca? tion as much as they did the first day, they will be fully recreated and ready for bard, successful study. The following petit jurors have been drawn to serve at the June term of Court, to convene on Monday, 20th ipst., Judge Aldrich presiding; John P. Maddox, Pe? ter G. Acker, Wm.

The late members of Company C, Pal? metto Sharpshooters, Bratton's Brigade, will be sorry to hear of the death of Na? poleon B. Gaillard, a respected colored man, which took place In this city on last Friday. Napoleon was the cook of Da? vid Gaillard, who was killed during one of the battles around Richmond, and won the confidence and esteem of the Compa? ny by his uniform politeness and the in? terest he manifested in everything per? taining to the Company. It was custo? mary for. the members, before going into battle, to leave with Napoleon money, watches and other valuables for safe keepr lngj, and he always proved faithful to the trust. Although a slave, he was an edu? cated man to some extent, and hastened after every battle to inform his old master of the casualties. He was buried at Mt. Tabpr .cemetery. For several weeks past we have been advising the residente of the city to clean up their premises, in order to prevent any sickness that may ailse from the filth thereof. Some have heeded our advice, but others have not An inspection of the city is now going on by the police, who have strict orders to enforce the law against all persons who fail* to clean up their'premises. This is an important matter, for the health of any city or town depends largely on keeping the private premises of its citizens in the cleanest condition possible. The city authorities keep on hand a large supply of lime, which will be furnished free of charge to any resident for disinfecting purposes, and it is to be hoped that our citizens will call and get some of it and use it about their premises. Mayor Tolly is de? termined to enforce the law, and every person who fails to clean up his premises may expect to bear the penalties of the law to the fullest extent. Sad Death. Mrs. Florence Drake died suddenly on1 Tuesday night last about one o'clock at the residence of her husband, Mr. Thomas F. Drake, in Yarennes township, She retired in usual health on Tuesday evening, and the first indication of ap? proaching disease was awaking about line'Fc&cirw^ focation. She called her husband and told him she could scarcely breathe, upon which he procured a light and advised her to stand up, as she was very fleshy, and he thought the standing position would relieve her condition. She arose, but fell back in a few moments, and died before their nearest neighbors could be summoned, Mrs. Drake was a daughter of the late Matthew 8nipes, of this County, and was an excellent Christian woman. She was very industrious, and always displayed judgment and skill In the maragement of her domestic affairs, and was a thorough-gbing business wo? man. She was about thirty-five years of age, and was very robust in statue and apparen t health, so that her sudden death is a great shook to her family and friends. She leaves a husband and several small children who, with a large circle of rela? tives and friends, mourn her untimely death. BaUdlnff and Loan Association. The fourth annual meeting of the An? derson Building and Loan Association convened on last Thursday in the Court House, with President P. K. McCully in the chair, and Mr. J. D. Maxwell as Sec? retary. A quorum was present and the reports of the officers were submitted, showing the Association to be in a satis? factorily' prosperous condition. The meeting was short and exceptionally har? monious. Amendments to constitution were adopted as advertised &id proposed, after which the officers of the Association were unanimously re-elected, except Mr. H. G. JEteed, one of the directors, whose business necessitated him to decline a re? election, and for whom Col. M. P. Trib ble was substituted. They areas follows: President, P. K. McCully; Vice-Presi dent, Dr. W. H. Nardin ; Directors, W. W. Humphreys, A. B. Towers, G. F. Tolly, D. S. Maxwell^ D. 8. Taylor, Dr. a M. Orraud M. P. Tribble; Secretary and Treasurer, J. D. Maxwell; Solicitors, Muri ay, Breazeale & Murray; Auditing Committee, J. M. Sullivan, D. P. Sloan and James M. Cathcart. A committee to memorialize the Legislature on the sub? ject of the triplicate taxation of the stock of the Association was directed to be ap? pointed by the President. We have never seen a more unanimous and satis? factory meeting than this was. Dead In tho Woods. Mr. C. K. WiJliford, a well known citizen of Bock Mills Township, in this County, was found dead in a piece of woods in the neighborhood of his house on last Sunday at about two o'clock in the aiternoon. He bad gone on Friday afternoon to visit a neighbor, and thence started across the plantation to another neighbor's, after which he was not seen again until found dead as stated above. His absence on Friday night created no uneasiness, as he was supposed to be vis? iting a neighbor. When he failed to re? turn on Saturday morning the family supposed he had come to this City and would return that night. Nothing being seen or beard of him that evening, they became very uneasy, and early next morn? ing searching parties were organized, and thorough enquiry and search were made, which resulted in finding his body in a dense piece of woods near the house he had been visiting. The body -was far ad? vanced in decomposition, the face being black beyond recognition. There was evidence in the leaves that he bad fallen from twenty to thirty steps from the place his body lay, and tbe track along which he crawled was plainly to be seen. Trial Justice B. F. Shirley was at once noti? fied and summoned a jury of inquest. Dr. R. G. Witherspoon, a skillful and ex? perienced physician, made tbe post mor? tem examination, and found no evidence of foul play in any way. The Jury of in? quest returned a verdict that the deceased come to his death from appoplexy. This, however, was speculation, and upon it there is much difference of opinion, many believing that heart disease was the cause, while still others think it was sun-stroke. It is contended that if appoplexy were the cause he could not have moved so far after the rigor of the attack set in. Mr. Williford was for many years a success? ful merchant at Williford's Store, in this County, and bad accumulated a comfor? table property, the greater part of which was swept away by the results of the war. He was near seventy years of age, and since the war had been engaged in farm? ing. His remains were interred in Roberts Church Cemetery on Monday, the Rev. T. C. Ligen preaching a solemn and impres? sive funeral sermon on the occasion to a large congregation of 'the relatives and friends of the deceased. Fieroetown Items. The farmers are now busily engaged in harvesting tbeir wheat, which is not a very large crop in this section, but what is made is very good, as there has been no rust or other b.igbt to injure it. Crops are looking finely, and everybody seem cheerful over the bright prospect of au abuudant harvest Mr. E. K. Miller, of Arkadelphia, Ar? kansas, after an absence of two and a half years, has returned to bis old home in this section. His many friends are glad to have him in their midst once more, but deeply sympathise with bim in his sore bereavement, caused by the death of his wife and son, which occurred just be? fore he left Arkansas. Miss Mamie Mattison is visiting friends in Abbeville County. We hope she may have quite a pleasant trip. The Sunday School at Tucker's Cross Roads, under the superintendency of Mr. M. E. Deal, Is in a flourishing condition. It has purchased a handsome organ, which adds greatly to the music and tbe general interest of the school. The day schools of this section are hav? ing vacation now, and will not begin tbeir next session until after the Institute, which some of our teachers are looking forward to with a great deal of Interest. While this section can boast of a large majority in favor of prohibition, we are sorry to say there are a few antlea. Now, it is not strange to see an old tippler, or even one who has never made any pro? fession of religion, refuse to sign a peti? tion asking for an election, nor would I be surprised to see them actually vote against prohibition; but for the life of me I cannot see how church members, espe<' daily deacons of the church, can refuse to sign a petition that just simply gives every qualified voter of this County a chance to come out and say whether he wants prohibition or not. Of course such an act means anti-prohibition. It can't mean anything else. I fear some of our churches have been too lax in their ex? amination of men for this office. They surely have not heeded the warning given by Paul. Every Christian in this and Laurens County, should arise and exert themselves to carry the election forprohi tion. Christian men and women, in jus? tice to yourselves, in justice to your chil? dren, in justice to your country, in justice to your God, will you do it? Pierce. TwIggB Items. This section has been visited by some heavy rain-falls during the past two or three weeks. The corn upon the low lands has been considerably washed, but has re? covered and is growing nicely again. Cotton continues to grow and is looking well, though the past few nights have been quite cool, and will check it somewhat. Harvesting wheat and oats has been in full blast the past week. Wheat about all cut and in the shock. The yield will be good. The late sowing of oats is looking I well, and promise a-Prn? yteld^nw/fpnH I are affording ^?^KnnAanoa of vegetables, and the' good housewife is smiling and happy. We were shown a field of cotton on the farm of Mr. W. D. Gray, and will only say that it is the finest we have seen this year. We had the pleasure of sampling some butter recently made by two of our neigh? bor ladies?Mrs. H. M. T?te aud Mrs. J. C. Hamlin?which for color and flavor would be hard to excel- These ladies attend to their dairies themselves, and their tables are always supplied with the very best of j butter, and what surplus they have always commands the highest price in market. Tbe health of our community is not good ; dysentery is prevailing to an alarm? ing extent, and several deaths have result? ed from it in the last few days. Mr. A. A. Dean and Mr. Will Watt have both lost a little girl in each family, and other mem? bers of their families are very low with the disease. They have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement. Almost every family has been suffering from the disease to a greater or less extent. Rev. H. C. Fennel, pastor of the church at Varennes, delivered a very fine sermon to the congregation at Hebron Church on last first Sunday evening. Many heard him for the first time, and were deeply im? pressed by the truths presented in his ser? mon. He made a favorable impression upon every one in the congregation by the agreeable and forcible manner in which he handled his subject. They would be pleas? ed to hear him again. The church at Sbiloh, across the line in -^rfoevnle County, has secured the services of Miss Carrie' Gray, an accomplished young lady of this section, as organist. The church will be pleased with their selec? tion, as Miss Carrie is an excellent per? former. A riot at Pleasant Grove Church, (color? ed,) near this place, will cost the good peo? ple of our County several hundred dollars before it is settled?all brought about by a few bottles of whiskey being sold and drank at the above church; and yet we hear some men say that whiskey is a good thing, and that there is no barm in it if we let it alone. But it will not do to argue thus, for it will not let our people alone, though they do not drink it, nor will it ever cease to trouble our people aud our Courts until we succeed in stopping the traffic in it. Omega. There have been four burials at Cross Roads Church in the last four days. Our bachelor friend, Mr. J. A. Emerson, has over half an acre planted in onions, and says he is going to feed "her" on onions next year, if he gets "her." One of the finest cows in this neighbor? hood is owned by Mrs. J. T. Stucky. Starr has ceased to grow for a while, since the carpenters and workmen have gone to work on the farm. Pensee. Flat Bock Items. There will be preaching at Flat Rock Church on the next fourth Sunday at 11 o'clock a. m. The members of the Church are requested to be present, as there is business of importance to be attended to. The family of Mr. W. A. Watt was vis? ited last Friday by the angel of death, who took tbe spirit of little Delia. Two other children are now very sick. Dr. Scudday is kept very busy visiting the siok, and seems to be quite successful. We heard a coloied man say last week that if he bad one more bushel of corn be could make out, especially as blackber? ries have come in. Farmers should save tbe briars, if they are not too much in tbe way. They are a valuable crop. ' Last week was quite a busy one with the farmers, as wheat was ready for har? vesting. We could hear the clattering of the reaper on one side and the whetting of the scythe blade on tbe other; all hands were at tbeir posts, some pulling tbe hoes and some driving the plows, as it is necessary to stir tbe crop after a heavy rain. All are hopeful of an abundant harvest, and if tbe seasons continue we think they will not be disappointed. _ There is a great deal of sickness in this community, mostly children. Mr. William Gest, of Texas, is now in our midst, visiting relatives and friends. Mr. E. B. Hall has the finest piece of ] upland corn that we have seen. The friends of Mrs. Clemintine Hall will be glad to learn that her health is improving.' dUfok- Whittaker has the best field oWatsw\have seen. Mr. Luther Mc FarlandJtoj tbe finest field of cotton in this comrilJjit^B) Prohibition is the topic of tbe day. Some of the antics argue that if prohibi? tion carries that the man who owns no land will not be allowed to vote, as they wore not allowed to sign the petition for an election. They forget that it was tho anties who objected to tbeir signing the petition. Wfrjhink this a flimsy argu? ment. _ Flat. *< Belton Academy Mr. Editor : It was the pleasure of your correspondent to witness the ci sing exer? cises, on Friday last, of the Belton school, taught by Mr. W. E. Breazeale. On this occasion there were no special exercises, other than some formal presentations to Mr. Breazeale By theJboys and girls of the school. Miss Rosa Poore and Warren Wilkes, in behalf of the girls and boys, re? spectively, made the presentation. The gifts were beautiful and useful, testifying truthfully the valuable work done. When the final farewoll came, all were in tears, loath to separate from the teacher whom they love and respect. The Belton school has certainly never had a more acceptable teacher. We sincerely hope our local trus? tees, assiBted by the Commissioner, shall select a competent and worthy successor. Mr. Breazeale leaves, about July 1st, for the University of Virginia, to pursue a special course in Civil Engineering. We long for the day when the compensation cf the teacher shall not be such as to drive known competency from the school-room. u. Thoroughbred Jersey Red Pigs for sale. Apply to E. B. Murray.

We are Informed that some of our lead? ing farmers are agitating the idea of hav? ing a grand reunion among the farmers of Hart County at Hartwell on Friday before the third Sunday in August, in the shape of a grand old fashioned barbecue, to which all of tho farmers are requested to contribute. We like the idea. It makes our mouth water, and it would deligbt us to see the farmers of the county meet as one grand harmonious family. It would do-good. Mr. D. B. Alford, of Oak Bower, set a couple of steel traps on the bank of the Savannah River to catch muskrats. The first thing caught was a rabbit. Mr* AlfOrd baited his traps with the rabbit for a'hawk and caaght a crow. He supposes the crow got caught fighting at the hawk. The crow was permitted to remain in the trap a few days, when a buzzard came to the feast and was caught in the other trap. Game seems to be plentiful and variegated in those parts. Extensive preparations are being made for the Commencement of the Hartwell High School, and it will undoubtedly be a pleasant and profitable occasion. Rev C. E. Pattillo will preach the commence SlSltt sermon on Sunday, June 19th, and Hon. E. B. Murray, of the City o/An? derson, S. C, will deliver the literary ad? dress on Wednesday the 22d, Mr. Murray is one of the most prominent public men in his State, both in politics and journal? ism, and our people may expect a rich in? tellectual treat on that occasion. On Tuesday night the citizens of Hart well were treated to that wonderful and rare natural phenomenon a lunar rainbow. About ten o'clock, while the moon sbone with all of its effulgence, a elear and dis? tinct rainbow spanned the western heav? ens, reaching from the southern to the northern horizon. It was a grandly beautiful spectacular display; one never before witnessod by any of our citizens. A Walking Skeleton. Mr. E. Springer, of Mechanicsburg, Pa., writes: "I was afflicted with lung fever and abscess on lungs, and reduced to a walking Skeleton. Got a free trial bottle of | Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump? tion, which did me so much good that I bought a dollar bottle. After using . three bottles, found myself once more a < man, completely restored to health, with a hearty appetite, and a gain in flesh of ] 48 lbs." Call at Hill Bros.
