He gives a glowing account of his trip, and says he is favorably impressed with por? tions of the country. The Cotton Plant, which is published by Hoyt & Keys, Greenville, S. C, .is, now issued semi-monthly, and .is a most excel? lent agricultural journal. It is the only agricultural paper in the State, and de? serves, and should have, a liberal support from our farmers, who will be greatly benefited by reading it. Trial Justice Wardlaw sent out a dun the other day, to which he received a prompt reply, which concluded as follows: "I wish to thank you for your courtesy. I am glad to find one collector who knows how to write as a gentleman." All collec? tors should ever write as gentlemen, and also speak and act as such. Means & McGee's new advertisement should not be overlooked. These gentle? men are making preparations for a big trade this Spring, and they are going to have it if low prices and honest goods will bring it. They have now in their employ a first-class tailor, and can have yon a suit made to order on short notice. The prayer meetings which wore former? ly held in Temperance Hall every Sunday afternoon, under the auspices of the W. C. T. U., are to be started again. The Hall will be opened next Sunday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, and the meeting will be con? ducted by Rev. A. A. Marshall. A cor? dial invitation is extendod to tn e public to attend. The Sullivan Hardware Co. has just re? ceived an immense stock of the celebrated Georgia steel plows, also hoes, axes, etc., which are being offered at very low prices. It will bo to the interest of our farmers to see their stock of farming implements be? fore beginning work for another crop. Look out for the Co.'s new advertisement next week. Lowndesville Advertiser: "Mr. P. B. Allen, of Twiggs, S. C, paid this place, his old home, a short visit last week. Press is full of energy, and is farming exten? sively. He made over two hundred bales of cotton last year, and he expects to en? large his force this year. We venture the assertion, he is the most successful 'young farmer' in Anderson County to-day." We are indebted to Messrs. Webb & Moss for liberal samples of their leading brands of cigars, "Yirma," and "Rus? sell's No. 2," both of which are excellent, especially the first named, which is one of the best cigars we haye ever smoked, and' if our readers will try it they will say so, too. Give these gentlemen a call, try their cigars, and see that old man trying to kill the rat. Mr. Will T. Webb, the handsome and genial editor of the Seneca Free Press, Bpent last Friday in the city, and of course paid his respects to the Intelligencer. We can't understand why it is that some one of Seneca's fair daughters has not captured Bro. Webb ere this time. But this is Leap Year, and perhaps before next Christmas he will be working in ! 'double harness." The Parkersbnrg (W. Va.) Sentinel, of the 14th inst., contains the following: "We regret to announce the death of Mrs. John A. Lafoy, which sad event occurred at their home at Volcano yesterday morn? ing. Mrs. Lafoy, whose maiden name was Miss Emma Clay, has been married just one year. Last week a son was born to this happy pair, but the ravages of con? sumption had done its worst. Mrs. Lafoy was in her twenty-second year." Mr. La? foy is a native of Anderson County, and his friends here will regret to hear of bis bereavement. Messrs. J. J. Baker & Co. appear before our readers this week in a big advertise? ment, which is full of valuable informa? tion to eyery person who is in need of goods of any sort. These gentlemen have a large and varied stock of general mer? chandise, and are prepared to offer extra inducements to buyers. They are now offering clothing and all woolen goods at cost, and their groceries and other goods will be sold as cheap as the same can be purchased anywhere. They also handle several reliable brands of fertilizers, which are sold very low. Our farmers, before buying their supplies, should not fail to oonfer with this firm. A privute letter from our young friend, Rev. A. T. Dnnlap, informs us that be lias arrived safely at his destination in Cali? fornia, and that his postoffice address is Santa Maria. He says bis trip was a most pleasant one, and that he is delighted with the climate of his new home. He prom? ises, as soon as he can learn more of the country, to give the roaders of the Intel? ligencer a description of that portion of California. We would invite the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Clark & Bro., merchant tailors, which appears else? where. These gentlemen have succeeded their father iu business, and maybe found at the old stand, on Main street. They are experienced tailors, and will do good work on short notice and at low prices. If you need any work in their line give them a call. They will please you in both style and tit.

Read the Act, and it will give you all the information. Col. Tribble, our Clerk of Court, informs us that he has the necessary blanks on hand for those in our County who may be entitled to a pension under the Act. Mrs. Augusta Rhode, wife of Mr. Anton Rhode, died in this city last Sunday after a painful illness of nine weeks, aged about 35 years. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church. Her remains were interred in the Presbyterian cemetery on Monday, Rev. Dr. Prierson conducting the funeral services. Mrs. Rhode was a native of Prussia, and had been a resi? dent of the city about five years. She leaves a husband and three children. Bleckley, Brown <fc FretwelFs big new advertisement should be read by every? body who has fertilizers to buy. They handle the celebrated Wando goods, and have also a limited supply of Generostee Fertilizers to sell. This enterprising firm has recently built a guano warehouse at Cook's Station, and is prepared to deliver fertilizers at the following points: Belton, Honea Path, Williamston, Pendleton, Deans, Starr, Cooks and Lowndesville* Better give them a call before you buy. The sad intelligence was received [in the city last Saturday , that Mr. S. M. Brea zeale, the popular Sheriff of Oconee Coun? ty, had died that morning at his home in Walhalla, after a brief illness from pneu? monia. Mr. Breazeale was well known throughout this section, and bis death has .brought sorrow to a host of friends. He was 33 years of age. On Monday morn? ing his remains were brought to Old Stone Church, near Pendleton, and laid beside his wife, who preceded him to the grave just a month ago. From the Greenville News of Tuesday we learn that Mr. Stephen, A. Breazeale died at his home in that city on Monday afternoon, after a brief illness from Bright's disease. This will be sad news to many of our readers, for Mr. Breazeale was well known in our County. He was born and raised near Belton, and for sev? eral years resided in Anderson, following the business of a merchant tailor. He was an upright man, and was highly es? teemed by bis acquaintances. He leaves a wife-and four children. ^ The Anderson Music House is now open and stocked with pianos, organs and other musical instruments, which will be sold as cheap as the same can be pur? chased at the factory.

These gentlemen will sell only the best and most reliable instruments, and guarantee satisfaction to every purchaser. Read their advertisement, and pay their establishment a visit. The Chairman of the Board of Trustees, together with the Executive Committee, visited Patrick's Military Institute last Friday.

Patrick, the Principal, is well known throughout the State as a thorough mathematician, an excellent drill master and a polished gen? tleman ; Prof. Ligon, a graduate of the South Carolina College in its palmy days, has no superior and few equals as an in? structor in tbe ancient languages in up? per-Carolina; while Lieut. John M. Pat? rick, affable, active and energetic, is rap? idly making for himself an enviable rep? utation as an instructor in modern lan? guages. With such teachers this school can look for nothing but success. Ander? son is proud of the Institute, and has a right to be. With 102 young men and boys already in attendance, and promise of others in the near future, Patrick's Military Institute bids fair to be one of tbe most attractive, as it is now already one of tbe most meritorious, institutions of learning in the upper part of our State. The young men are courteous, polite and gentlemanly in their deportment, and have won the highest respect and esteem of our citizens. Don't Experiment.

Doctors disagree as to tbe relative value of Cod Liver Oil and Hypophosphites?the one supplying strength and flesh ; the other giving nerve power, and acting as a tonic to the diges? tive and entire system. But in Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with Hypo phosphites, the two are combined, and the effect is wonderful. Thousands who have derived no permanent benefit from other preparations have been cured by its use. This is not an assumption, but facts that are substantiated by the experience of the past 10 years, and tho endorsements of thonsauds of the best Physicians through? out the country.-] Spencer Bros. 9-inch 4's is the best Chewing Tobacco. Call on Cunningham Bros, for it. 19?8m. Bill Arji'ts Visit to A micro oil. In nis usual letter to the Atlanta Con ititulion, Bill Arp has the following to say In reference to his recent visit to Ander son: "I have been up among the hills of South Carolina frolicking with friends and schoolmates at Anderson. They have blooded stock up there; men and womon, horses and cattle, all bloodod. The old Carolina aristocracy has not played out nor withdrawn from the turf. How they managed to survive the wreck I do not know, but they still occupy stately mansions and welcome the coming and do not speed the parting guest. The town has a splendid trade that reaches northward fifty or sixty miles. For a population of only 3,000 there are more beautiful residences and lovely lawns, and groves, and flower gardens than any town I know of. There arc scores of wealthy people, and they hold up their heads with true Carolina dignity. I was the guest of Major Bleckley, the brother of our chief justice. He, too, is a nutivo of Kabun, and used to meander on Screamer mountain, and hunt for bar and deer aud turkey; but now that Anno Domini has silvered his hair and stiffened his joints, bo rides to town every day although it is only half a mile away. "He is> a general favorite, especially with the cbildren. He'pops his whip at every boy he meets and they laugh an say, 'Pop it again, Mr. Bleckley.' II children and grandchildren are all aroun him. He is Logan's brother I know from the way ho does. We talked about Thomps Allan and his brothers, and the Phillips boys and Stanford, and Cannaday Jarrett, and Colonel Underwood, and Malcolm Walker, aud the olden limes until he got enthused and said, 'Give me your hand, m?.jor, I feel just like I am kin to you.' Somebody told me that when the chief justice had spent a week or so on Suwannee mountain and drank his fill of nature, he would foot it back to Clayton, where everybody knows and loves him, and as he rose on the hill that overlooks the little village, ho would give three wild Indian whoops that could be heard a half a mile, and every little boy and girl in the town would turn out and run to meet him and escort him to the public square. Well, that may look un dignified in a chief justice, but still would rather be Logan E. Bleckley than to be king. "There is one product at Anderson that I never saw before in the up country, and that is rice. I saw one lot of 250 bushels grown by one farmer, and he sold it for one dollar and a quarter a bushel. It is in the hull and is all shipped to Savannah aud Charleston forseed. Tbelow country rice is mixed with a noxious growth just like wheat is mixed with cheat and cockle, but this up-country rice is pure, and hence commands a higher price than their own. The farmers around Anderson grow a great deal of rice, making from sixty, to eighty bushels per acre on their meadow and meadow Jands. Why do not our Georgia farmers try it, for there is just such land on most every farm in this up country." ? Senator Hampton has introduced bill into Congress that is attracting attention. It authorizes the government to appoint a professional hors8 trainer to go about the country and impart knowl? edge concerning the best methods of| caring for horses. The -trainer also to publish a book for public distribution describing the secret methods of subduing vicious horses. ? A New York State Yankee proposes to make a railroad car entirely of wocd pulp. Ue claims that it will be inde? structible either by fire or by shock. W. L. Douglas in England.?The London Boot and Shoe Trades Journal contains the following iu its issue of De? cember 24: "A novelty in advertising appears in the pages of the Boston Boot and Shoe Recorder. A full page is occu Eied with the portrait of Mr. W. L. 'ouglas, of Brockton, Mass., and the names of the five specialties that he man? ufactured. Mr. Douglas is famous in the States, on account of the boycott placed on his goods, because he has dared to in? troduce the lasting-machine into his factory. His portrait gives the idea of a determined, energetic, far-seeing man of about forty years of age. His career is wellknown to readers of the American trade papers, and it is by no means the least thing he may be proud of, that he has thoroughly learned everything con? nected with his trade, and has earned his living at every branch thereof." ?
