Last Tuesday morning, at 3 o'clock, the office of the Kernte Courier and the law offices of Messrs. Keith, Verner, Gibson and Dandy, at Walhalla, were destroyed by fire, nothing being saved except a few books from the office of Maj. Dendy. Theee is evidence that the fire was of an incendiary origin. A countryman came into the city last Saturday with a basket of nineteen chick? ens.

The countryman immediately accepted the offer, and the merchant took the chickens.

Last Friday there were a number of the leading colored men of the County in the city for the purpose of consulting as to ' the best manner of aiding the Prohibition cause. It was decided to have a public meeting about the latter part of July, when the people will not be so busy. We are glad to know of the colored people taking an . interest in this question, and hope every colored man in the County will be present at the meeting contem? plated, due notice of which will be given. There seems to exist a competition among the smaller.boys eato who can se? cure the largest number and the greatest variety of birds' eggs, and consequently there is going on a wholesale robbery of birds' nests. This should be stopped, for with an increase of birds there certainly must follow a decrease of insects. As in? sects of various kinds are on the increase, it naturally follows that birds are on the decrease. It is true that there are certain Speeles of birds that are destructive to crops, but as a general thing these are the ones the least disturbed. Let the birds alone, and we will soon see the good effects of their presence among us. Rev. Joseph Hillhouse died at his home near Calhoun, Ga, on the 12th inst., aged about 68 years. Mr. Hillhouse was a na? tive of Anderson County.. He was a grad? uate of the Presbyterian'Theological Sem? inary at Columbia, and for a number of years prior to the war preached and taught school in Laurens County. After the war he moved to Anderson, and,' with ~Moj. Ben. Sloan, taught school here for several years. He has resided near Calhoun, Ga., for the past fourteen years. Mr. Hill? house married a daughter of the late Jas. Steele, of this County, and has many j friends and relatives in our midst who I will regret, to hear of his death. ? j We direct the attention of our readers to the advertisement of the Cosby Hand ! Power. Attachment for sewing machines, j Mr. G, M. Tolly has the right to sell this Attachment in Anderson County, and now has one on exhibition at his place of I business. We have seen the Attachment : at work, and onr opinion is that it oer ' tainly deserve the name of woman's friend. It is simple and durable, and can \ be used on any sewing machine. It does away with working the machine by the I feet, which is so injurious to the health of I many females. The Attachment is high? ly recommended by prominent physi? cians. A child oan run it, and the ma? chine can be operated much faster than by the treadle. We advise our ladies to call on Mr. Tolly and see this Attachment. It is sold at the low price of $2.50, Mrs. Ann Strickland, wife of the late John B. Strickland, of Martin Township, died suddenly on Friday, 17th inst., of. dysentery, at the home of her son, W. L. Strickland, in the 72nd year of her age. Her remains were interred at Mt. Bethel Church on Saturday, Rev. M. MoGee con? ducting the funeral services. Mrs. Strick? land was the mother of ten children, eight of whom survive her. She had been a member of the Mt. Bethel Church for more than fifty years, and died as she I had lived, in the full faith of the gospel. While she was lying still in death at her j son's house, his infant son, Michael, aged 22 months, died of the same disease. His I remains were interred at Bethany Church on Sunday, Rev. M. McGee conducting the funeral services. The sorrowing family have the sympathy of many friends in their double bereavement. Last Friday night Miss Sallie Scott, a young lady who resides with the family of Maj. J. T. Dean, in Bel ton Township, met with a most painful accident Miss Scott was in the. act of retiring to bed, and, having donrfed her night-gown, was walking across the room with a lighted lamp in her hand, when the lamp ex? ploded, throwing the oil on hor gown, which at once ignited. Her screams at? tracted the attention of Mr. and Mrs. Dean, who were in adjoining room, and they immediately went to her assistance and succeeded in smothering the flames, bnt not before the young lady was terri? bly burned. Her left arm and breast were literally cooked. In attempting to smother the flames, Maj. Dean's hands were severely burned. Since the accident Miss Scott has suffered excruciating pain, and at last accounts the attending physi? cian was fearful that the accident would prove fatal. Thoronghbred Jersey Red Pigs for sale.

Anderson Con n ty has lost another goo d citizen in the death of Rov.X; Watt Trib ble, which occurred at his home near this city on last Monday night, after a painful illness of only five days from erysipelas. Mr. Tribble was about 53 years of age, and was well known throughout the County. He was a good man in every sense of the word. E vei since his youth he had been an exemplary member of the Baptist Church, and for the past eighteen years a preacher of the gospel. At the time of his death he was the pastor of three Churches, and was held in high es? teem by his congregations. A true Chris? tian, a devoted husband, an indulgent father and a kind neighbor has been called from time into eternity. Mr. Tribble leaves a wife and four children to mourn his death. His remains were carried to Barker's Creek Church and there interred on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. W. H. King conducting the funeral services. Court. The June Term of the Circuit Court for Anderson County Convened on last Mon? day, his Honor Judge Aldrich presiding, and Solicitor Orr and Stenographer Aiken being promptly at their posts. Judge Aldrich in a brief, pointed and compre? hensive charge instructed the Grand Jury, and the business of the Court moved off rapidly, so that the Court of Sessions was so far-advanced as to discharge the petit jurors on Monday afternoon. The follow- j ing cases were tried, with the resalts indi? cated, all the prisoners, except Ed. Lit mon, pleading guilty to tho charges: Bartley Lemons. Retailing whiskey without a license. $100 fine, or one year in the penitentiary. James Lee and William Lee. Larceny. Each $100 fine, or one year in the peni? tentiary. Ed. Litnian and Robert Ricks. Larce? ny. Not guilty as to Litman. Ricks sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Christian Carter. Aggravated assault and battery. $25 fine, or six months in the penitentiary. Major Robinson. Assault and battery with intent to kill. $50 fine, or six months in the penitentiary. On Tuesday morning the Judge sen? tenced the prisoners, and the Grand Jury submitted their presentment, after which the Court of Sessions was adjourped. The Court of Common Pleas was opened on Monday afternoon, and its business was as rapidly dispatched as possible. The Court was concluded on Wednesday, and the June Term of 1887 was one of the shortest that we have had in many years. His Honor Judge Aldrich presided with marked courtesy and ability during the term. Farmers' Sleeting. The Democratic citizens of the neighbor? hood of Sandy Springs, believing that an enlightened agriculture is the great need of the farmers of this State, and believing that the way to acquire agricultural infor? mation depends largely upon the success 1 of the farmers' movement, demanding, as it does, an agricultural college, whereby agricultural information may be diffused speedily and effectively, and whereby the boys of our County may receive that prac? tical Information pertaining to farming which, is eminently necessary, and which would tend to draw them to the farm in? stead of from it, as is the tendency of our present educational institutions; and be [ lieving that a thorough discnssion of this and kindred subjects vastly important, called a meeting of Sandy Springs Demo? cratic Club on the 11th inst. for the purpose of perfecting arrangements for a meeting later in the interest of the "farmers' move? ment." At this meeting it was determined to call a mass meeting at Sandy Springs on the 25th day of August next, and to invite the citizens of Anderson, Bickens and Oconee Counties to participate.therein. - It was further determined to invite the following distinguished gentlemen to de? liver addresses on the occasion, viz: Capt. B. R. Tilman, of Edgefield; Hon. J. E. Tindall, of Clarendon; Hon. M. L. Don? aldson, of Greenville, and Hon. L. L. Pope, of N. C, who is at the head of the farmers' movement in that State. A fine opportunity to learn of the farm? ers' helps and hinderances, and to learn what are the objects and purposes sought to be accomplished by the farmers' move? ment will thus be afforded, and it is to be hoped that all who can will be present. ? J. C. W. Holland's Store Items. The hot weather is shoving cotton right along. Upland [corn would do better with a rain, though it is not suffering yet, Our farmers are well up with their work, and are laying by the earliest corn, which will make a very good crop with one more good rain. The thresher is on its rounds of duty. Wheat is averaging about a bushel to three dozen. Oats, es? pecially those sowed in the Spring, are fine; some 3&-gcotr~23~we ever saw. The fruit crop is almost a total failure. What few peaches the cold weather left have fallen off. The apples are below the average in quantity and quality. The health of this immediate .neighbor? hood is still gobd, comparatively speak? ing. Some few cases of sickness, but nothing serious. George Sullivan, colored, of whom wo spoke of some weeks past, is suffering considei ably from the bullet, which is still in his leg. He got op able to work, and did work for several days, after which j his leg became inflamed and very much swollen, giving him a great deal of pain and prostrating him. He is thought by some to be in quite a critical condition. Mr. Willis Evans has invented a novel plan to catch fish. He sets a .common steel trap, with a hook tied to the trigger, baited with a piece of flesh. When the fish pulls at the bait the trap grabs him by the bill. The gar is the principal kind caught in this way. Prohibition is gaining ground the fastj we ever saw. The anties are grov fewer and weaker. Tbe recent serf published in the Intelligence! think, has opened some of their eye!, gether with the outspoken and earnesl appeals from every pulpit in tbe County.1 If the good people of Anderson work from now until election day - as earnestly as they have to the present, the liquor traffic will be a thing of the past. Rev. W. H. King will preach at Shiloh on next Saturday and Sunday, each day at 11 o'clock a. m. Burke. In MemorJam. S0 spirit of ten rery ikeT^ At about six o'clock on the after Wednesday, June 15th, 1887. God, home to himself the pure, sinless sp little Wilbeb Sadder Jones. For ten days physicians and friends had tried every Sossible means to arrest tbe progress of isease, but from the first no medici: seemed to have any effect, and each those watching anxiously around his saw this precious little one grow weak* until at last the summons came, and peace? fully and sweetly, without a struggle, the soul of this lovely boy returned to God. Numbers in this town loved little Wilder, not only for his remarkable beauty and attractive baby ways, but his very name endeared him to many of us?commemo? rative, as it was, of one who was dearly loved for his noble, true, manly character, and who left a deeply felt void in many hearts when, abont a year ago, he was sud? denly, and in the midst of all that makes life enjoyable, called np higher to be with God. We feel that our sympathy with these sorely stricken parents is but a poor, barren thing to offer, and well ?b we real? ize that nothing we can say or do can bring them much comfort; but they are not of those "who sorrow without hope." God is to them in truth a Father, and well do they know that He makes no mistakes, and never willingly afflicts the children of men; therefore they are earnestly striving, though with bruised and broken hearts, to say submissively, "Thy will be done." Hereafter, when they shall again meet their darling, who even now waits for them at God's right hand, a bright, shining an? gel, singing Hi? praises with the other loved ones gone before, they shall see more clear? ly, and in the light of the glorious radiance streaming from the Throne of the Eternal, Loving Father, they shall be allowed to see that which now seems so dark had a blessing hidden in it, and they will be ena? bled to say, He hath done all things well. A Friend. 1 Anijerson, June 19, 1887. I Craytonvlllo Items. Mr. Luther Williams, near Barker's Creek Church, died the 15th inst., aged about 28 years. His remains were interred in the Barker's Creek cemetery the day following, in the . presence of a goodly number of friends and relatives, Rev. M. McGee conducting tbe funeral services. Rev. B. Hays will preach at Mt. Bethel the 10th prox., on the subject of prohibi? tion. Turn ont one and all, antics in? cluded, and lay aside all prejudice and succumb to reason. We attended Church at Neal's Creek on last Sunday and percbanced to hear Col. J. G. Clinkscales, who addressed the Sunday School at that place. He spoke on honesty, fidelity and truthfulness. Col. Clinkscales is a fluent speaker, and also very interesting. Vox. Five Forks Items. The measles, after a long and untiring stay, has finally disappeared from this section, but not without many sad results. Many of our dear friends and loved ones have fallen a victem to its slimy grasp, and passed from time into eternity. The measles has indeed cut a wide swath in thi3 section, removing from many families those around whom tbe whole interest of the family seemed to concen? trate, and by their death caused an "aching void the world can never fill," The health of thoso surviving the disease seem to be greatly impaired and the sys? tem very susceptible to dysentery, ty? phoid and other prevalent diseases. Mr. E. M. Duckworth, who has had a long and painful illness of typhoid and dysentery, is now rapidly convalescing. He is spending a few days in our midst with his brother, Dr. J. G. Duckworth. We have also learned that Mr. Wilson Mulligan, upon whose person Drs. J. G. Duckworth and M. L. Sharpe recently performed a very critical and painful sur? gical operation, is now well and at work upon his farm. Mr. M. E. Deal, who has the contract of repairing tbe Statt Bridge across Six and-Twenty Creek, near Mr. W. C. Dal rymple's, got his left leg badly hurt last Friday evening while unloading some heavy timbers at that place. He is now unable to walk, but as the bone is not broken it is hoped he will soon recover. Crops are looking finely and are in ex? cellent condition, and tbe farmers are all in high spirits. The wheat crop in this section is not very large, but of excellent quality. There is the best crop of spring oats in this section there has been for several years. Prohibition is rapidly gaining ground in this section, although it has some strong opponents, who, of course, are doing all they can against it, but if every C-'.ristian will exert bis influence for pro ibition (and I don't see how they can dfether wise, "for by their fruits ye shair>?aow them") there need be no fears-as to tue re? sult of the election. Christian brother, will you vote as you pray? Antle, can you ask God to bless your vote ? NeaU* Creek Items. Some of our farmers have planted large crops of peas, an example which all should follow. Harvesting is all done, except a few pieces of late oats, and all will soon know by actual measurement how the crop stands. It is right consoling to think of black? berries being ripe and spring chiokens large enough to fry. No danger of us poor fellows starving over here. Crops continue to look fine, and c a farmers are laying by their corn. Rev. Baxter Hays will preach at Long Branch Church the first Sunday morning in July, at 11 o'clock, on the subject of temperance or prohibition. He will also preach at Neal's Creek at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day. The Neal's Creek Sunday School will meet and sing with the Dorchester Sun? day School next Sunday morning at 9 o'clock, consequently the former School will not meet until 4 o'clock in the after | noon. Our Sunday School was addressed last Sunday morning by Col. J. G. Clinkscales, in his usual pleasant and interesting man? ner. He was followed by Rev. D. W. Hiott, who made a most earnest speech in behalf of the temperance cause. After a short intermission, the congregation re? assembled in the house and listened to a most excellent sermon by Rev. G. M. Rogers. The speakers all touched on probibition, which was well received by the congregation, for tbe Neal's Creek people are on the right side. _Hoosier. Brasliy Creek. Mb, Editob : I have been waiting for some time for some one to whoop up old Brushy Creek, to let the outside world know that she is a portion of old Anderson County, situated in the extreme Northeast corner of said County. There has been several efforts made in the past to cut her off to Greenville County, but she had enongh loyal sons to kick against any such a slice being cut from her to Greenville or any other County, especially after we have got our roads in such good condition, although some were last Winter in a state of rebellion, but had no idea of seceding; but now (to use the language of Bill Arp) all is calm and serene on that subject, except two Overseers?Mr. J. M. Davis and Mr. John Long. They'say they cannot get throngh in the time prescribed by law; they havo worked faithful, some five or six days, and only gone over about one mile of their road, or about one-third of the way. Now, what is to be done in their case ? I see no other way out of the diffi? culty only throngh the Legislature. I sup? pose it will have to pass a special Act for their special benefit. So, gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives, look out for the petition. What next ? Well, prohibition deserves some notice. I hardly know what to say on that subject. I hear very little said about it, I don't think the citizens are going to take much interest in the matter, what few I have talked with say they don't think that they have any right to say whether Pendletof or any other incorporated towa or ci' shall sell liquor, as tbey are not allowed . called on to vote in municipal election r matters pertaining to the govern mei cities or towns. That they have no r. it to vote on prohibition, as they claim that they are already prohibited in the County. So you age, Mr. Editor, the various ex? ec U that our fathers always ~ pring rhy not we, the offer. whis ron to the \ Greenville, election for iin a great ex subject?both they knew to sry nice-looking i a barkeeper) low who was reel ink to stand, and voted yet ?" -hio?get thar?"

We farmers certainly havechajee of that part of the office?I knqflflBy experience. Well, crops in Brushy Creek I don't think ever were better at this time of year. Early sown wheat crops are fine?late not so good. Oats are looking fine, although a little/late. Crops are generally well work? ed? everybody is up with their work ; la bor/abundtnt. provisions scarce. If we aAkj^j&rcugh another week we will rl pries and some new wheat.

Mr. John Laboon has just moved into his new brick building, which is said to be the finest building in the township, if not in the County. Mr. J. M. McElreath, contractor and builder, erected the build? ing. J. F. Stone has on his farm a young chicken with four legs, two on each side, and waiks on. two ou the left side. That chicken can certainly scratch for its liying. So, Mr. Editor, taking everything into i consideration, I think we are on an aver? age with our sister townships. When we get the C C. C. R. R. completed I think we will be a little above an average. Don't you think so? . Amicus. Bulton Items. Misses Emma Clinkcales and Nora Brown are visiting friends in Greenville. Quite a number of the young ladies and gentlemen spent last week in Greenville attending the commencement exercises of Furman University, and of the Female College. They report the exercises very in? teresting. Mr. W. E. Breazeale having resigned as teacher in our school, the following appli? cations have been filed for said position : M. Newton Mitchell, F. W. Pickle and R. F. Few. John B. Cothran, who lives near Tony i Creek, has been sorely bereaved, having ? lost three children last week from dysen? tery. Mr. J. D. Campbell left on Thursday laBt for Nashville, Tenn., to accept the po ! sition of stenographer in the office of the General Manager of the Southwestern Pub? lishing Co. Miss Georgia McDavid returned home on Friday last from Greenville, where she has been in attendance at the Female College. Miss Lela Poore has resigned her posi? tion as teacher in the Greenville Female College, to accept a like one in the Con? servatory of Music in the same city. Miss Poore i3 a very accomplished young lady, and will doubtless prove as efficient in her new position as in the one just resigned. Fork Items. Crops continue to look finely. Capt. H. R. Vandiver has the finest field of corn we have seen. Mr. G, E. Smith, one of Townvillo's suc? cessful merchants, is erecting a commodi? ous hotel, which is a much needed im? provement. Efforts are being made to secure the ser? vices of Prof. A. J. Showalter to teach a music school at Townville some time this; Summer. This is a step iu the right direc tion, and should be approved by all lovers of music. Wheat threshing is the order of the day. The crop is not as good as was anticipated. W. H. Grand Jury's Presentment. To the Honorable A. P. Aldrich, Presiding Judge: The Grand Jury beg to report that they have passed upon all bills of indict? ment given out by the Solicitor, and have otherwise discharged their duties. Through a special committee they have examined the reports of the School Com? missioner, County Commissioners and County Treasurer, submitted at the last term of Court, and find them correct. They found the School Commissioner badly in need of proper books for keep? ing a record of his transactions and of office furniture, and we recommend that the same be furnished him by the County Commissioners at once. We are not altogether satisfied with the methods pursued in the conduct of the County Commissioners office. We think the accounts against the County are ap? proved without sufficient investigation of ; their correctness, and especially is this the case in the department of repairing bridges ana highways, and we would re? commend tht-t such accounts be required to be itemized so as to show the quantity and class of material used and the amount of labor performed. We would also re commend that the.-Steward of the Poor House be required to make to the County Commissioners monthly reports of the provisions, clothing and other articles purchased and expenses incurred in the conduct of the Poor House during that month. We do not believe, nor do we in? tend to say, that there has been pecuniary benefit derived by those in charge of that institution, but we think in the conduct of Eublic business, the best methods should e followed, and we recommend this course because it will be a safe precedent and will greatly facilitate the examina? tion of its conduct and expense. We further notice that large sums are yearly expended for tobacco for the use of the poor. And while we desire that the poor of the County shall receive proper care, attention and food, we do not believe that the County Commissioners are war? ranted in supplying them so freely with articles of luxury, and therefore recom? mend that its use be restricted as much as possible. We find the Treasurer's books and vouchers kept in a most creditable man? ner, and are highly pleased with the way in which he is conducting his office. The County jail is badly in need of heating during the Winter, and we recom? mend that steps be taken before the next Winter to have a proper heating apparatus placed therein. We have examined the new indexes of the Mesne Conveyance Office, being at present prepared by the Clerk, and are much pleased with the work. We believe it will be, when finished, of great service to the County, and therefore recommend that it be pushed to completion as soon as possible. We have received a communication from certain citizens residing on Big and Little Twenty-Six Mile Creek, making complaint about flooding of lands lying along those creeks by persons engaged in the cultivation of rice. We append the communication to this report and recom? mend that it be referred to the County Commissioners to take such steps as the law requires. We desire to congratulate the County upon the fact that it has an efficient, able, and trustworthy corps of County officers were greatly pleased in our recent exami? nation of their offices, to find our County affairs in such reliable bands. We also desire to return our thanks to the Presiding Judge and Solicitor and other officers of the Court for the many courtesies shown us during the term. J. C. Watkins, Foreman.
