Hammond, who is one of the most energetic drum? mers on the road, is now at home resting for a few days. We feel very grateful to those of our friends who called to see as Monday and settled their subscription accounts. Others should do likewise.

One of our popular young merchants, in speaking of the immense crowd that was in the city on Salesday, said: "I have shook hands with so many people to day that I am right hoarse."

Coroner Nance received information Wednesday morning that a Mrs, Newton, who resides near Cookes, on the S. V. R. R., had committed suicide Tuesday night by hanging herself. Mrs. Newton was a widow lady and lived with a son and daughter, who found her hanging from a joist of the house Wednesday morning. At times the woman's mind was partially deranged. We were unable to get any further particulars. There is said to be a cunningly-devised autograph album for use during the year 1888, in which unsuspecting maidens are indnced to write their names and which afterwards turns out to be a book of blank proposals of marriage to the depraved young man who owns it. Young women will see the necessity of refraining from writing their names in suspicious-looking album this year, unless, of course, they are looking for some album of that kind. The Greenville News, of the 2nd inst., Bays: "On last Sunday, while services were being held at Sbiloh Church in An? derson Caunty, about two miles from Piedmont, the building caught on fire and would have been burned up had it not been for the efforts of those piesent to ex? tinguish it. The damages to the building amounted to about a hundred dollars. The fire was caused by a defective flue, and caught between tbo ceiling and the roof of the building." Miss Sallie E. McGee, daughter of Mr. M. B. McGee, of Abbeville County, died on Friday, 3rd inst., of that fatal disease, consumption. Miss McGee was in the 19th year of her age, and was a most noble and excellent young lady, whose death is deeply regretted by an extensive acquaintance. Since her youth she had been an exemplary member of the Walnut Grove Baptist Church, where her remains were interred, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. M. McGee. Dr. R. F. Divver returned last week from his trip out West, and reports a pleasant time. In all the largest cities visited, he was highly entertained and many courtesies extended to him by the Chiefs of the Fire Departments. The Doc? tor has decided to remain iu Anderson, and will in a short time open a shop for repairing all kinds of machinery. He will also keep machinery for sale. As soon as be gets his arrangements com* pleted, the readers of the Intelligences will hear from him. The advertisement of Messrs. J. P. Sul? livan & Co., which appears elsewhere, pre? sents some facts which it would be well for our readers to consider. This is one of Anderson's most solid and substantial firms, and they handle nothing but the best of goods, which they offer at remark? ably low prices. They carry a general stock of merchandise, and also sell several brands of reliable fertilizers. When our readers visit Anderson, and before making their purchases, we would advise them to inspect these gentlemen's goods. We are confident they will make it to your inter 'est to do so. List of letters remaining in the Post office for the week ending February 8th: Miss Clarey Anguss, James W. Burgess, Thomas Brooks, Emma Cowan, Liza Dunlap, Allen Randolp Hothorn, Miss Martha Herd, Randolf Harden, Jacob Hamilton, Lizzie Johnson, H. P. McDan iel, Mat Molntosb, Davo McGown Mrs. Nannie Martin, J, M. Millan, J. M. Pe gram, H. N. Randall, Sam Read, John Robertson, Mrs. Julia Shirley, Miss Corie Saylors, P. L. Slater, Miss Mary A. C. Williams, Miss Mamy Williams. The Columbia Register, of last Friday, says: "The editor of the Southern Christian Advocate received a communication last night announcing the death of Mrs. W?ll? ing, the wife of Rev. J. W. W?lling, who left South Carolina less than a year ago to reinforce the Methodist missions in Brazil. Mrs. W?lling was sick for twelve days with malarial fever, and a heavy hemorrhage coming on, she sank quickly and passed away in half au hour. She died at Pira cicaba, Brazil, December 27, 1887. The news of her death will be a great shock to hundreds, of loving friends throughout the State." This will be read with sorrow by our entire people. Mrs. W?lling was a resident of Anderson four years, and by her gentle manners and loving disposition made a friend of every acquaintance. Mr. W?lling, in this sore bereavement, has the sympathy of a host of friends. Greenville's amateurs, under the man? agement of Mrs. R. H. Kennedy, render? ed Pinafore very successfully in the Ma? sonic Hall last Friday evening, and, despite the very inclement weather, were greeted by a packed house. The hall was inadequate to accommodate all who de? sired to attend, many persons staying away because they could not secure seats. The majority of the audience had seen the opera rendered by professionals, but not? withstanding this fact, every one present heartily enjoyed the entertainment. Mr. Moses Mark, as "Ralph Rackstraw," Miss Jennie MoCaw as "Josephine," and Miss Sarah Jenkins as "Little Buttercup," did exceedingly well. Mr. Mark has a clear, rich voice, and sings well. Miss McCaw's voice was not strong, but her acting was good, while Miss Jenkins, a charming little brunette, captivated the audience with her sweet voice. The entire company, which was composed of about twenty-five mem? bers, appeared to good advantage. If our Greenville friends should ever visit us again, we hope to have a larger and more comfortable hall and stage for their accommodation. The prayer meetings in Temperance Hall on Sunday afternoons are increasing in interest and are well attended. These meetings were started again at the sugges? tion of several young men, and are not held under the auspices of the W. C. T. TJ., as has been stated. It is proposed (o continue the meetings every Sunday after? noon, and an effort will shortly be made to organize a branch of the Y. M. C. A. We think the idea a good one, and hope that the effort will prove a success. A properly conducted Association would be the means of accomplishing much good in Anderson. A nice hall, comfortably and neatly furnished, and supplied with a good library, papers, etc., would be a pleasant resort for boys and young men after business hours. Money invested in something like this would not be thrown away. Every parent in the city should feel an interest in the Association, and encourage the efforts of those who are working to get it established here. At the meeting last Sunday [afternoon a commit? tee was appointed to await upon Rev. A. A. Marshall and invite him to preach a sermon specially to young men. The com? mittee has conferred with Mr. Marshall, who has accepted the invitation, and will deliver the sermon on Sunday night, 19th inst. While his sermon will bo directed to young men, everybody, of course, is invited .to be present. Every young man in and around the city should not fail to hear this sermon, for we know it will be replete with words of wisdom and advice. Hopewell Items. The farmers have done very little plowing up to-this time in preparing for another crop. There were a great many oats sown in the few days of pretty weath? er of the past week. Wheat and fall oats are looking well. The farmers are clearing more land and buying more mules and horses than usual. They.are evidently preparing for large crops of cotton and small crops of corn, judging from the general conversa? tion. This should not be so. The school at this place has been in a flourishing condition, but the mumps are prevailing in the neighborhood, and the school is now almost broken up. The school is under the management of Mr. J. M. Hamlin, an experienced teacher, who is doing good work. Rev. B. M. Pack has accepted tho call as pastor of Hopewell Church, and has entered upon his work. We extend him a cordial welcome to our midst. Our Sunday School, which is under the Superintendency of Mr. Wm. Brown, is in fine condition, and is accomplishing much good. Mr. Wm. Brown, while returning to his home from prayer-meeting last Saturday night, was thrown from his horse, pain? fully hurting his shoulder and hip. Hope. CraytonvIUe Itema. Hurrah for tho Intelligencer ! Al? though it has lost one of its editors, however its readers need not fear sustain? ing any loss. The present proprietors have been connected with the Intelli? gencer for several years, and know just what is required to make a paper what it should bo. The Intelligencer has our best wishes. We would say in regard to the salutatory published the 2Gth ult., that we hope that its author will be favored with all the solicitations expressed therein. The weather has been very unfavorable for farm work, and consequently the farmers will be unusually busy when the weather clears up and becomes settled. People are sowing oats now, and many re? gret having failed to sow last fall. Judging from observation in the past winters, the severest weather is over, or at least will probably have no weather severe enough to kill fall oats; although there is danger yet in sowing, as they may be killed while germinating. Wo farmers are too careless in regard to sowing small grain. How often do we bear farmers remark that there is no economy in raising wheat. They say that one acre in cotton will bring clear money sufficient to buy tfh amount of flour equal to that obtained from three or four acros sowed in wheat. But here is the secret of the argument: we can sow our wheat in the fall after the busiest of the season is over, and when it is ready for harvesting it takes only'a short time to harvest it, and thus make a wheat crop and lose but little time out of our cotton and corn crops. We generally cultivate all the cotton and corn we can, and the wheat and oat crops are almost clear. Why does a merchant deal in calico whon he could doal in other goods that would yield him a much great? er per cent, profit? Because he can sell his calicoes at a small per cent, profit, and at the same timo sell approximately as many of his other goods as he otherwise would. We would be glad that some one of the readers of the Intelligencer would give his experience in regard to cotton soed as a fertilizer, whether they should be used in their natural state or killed.

Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its sevorest testa, but her vital organs were under? mined and death seemed imminent. For three months she conghed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump? tion and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miracuously cured.

Scales passed away on Monday morning, the 30th inst. He was an un assuming, quiet citizen. In his death his wife and children loses an affectionate husband and parent, and the community a good man. His remains wore interred in the Ituhamah burial ground the fol lowing day. Col. Cliuk8cales passed through this section recently on bis rounds of inspec tion. We presume he found every thing as desired. The schools are well attend ed and seem to be moving along smoothly Rev. L. W. Stevens, of Hart County Ga., has been called to serve Shilob Church the present year. He will preach every fourth Sunday, and Saturday before, at eleven o'clock each day. Our farmers are progressing very well with their business. Wheat and oats are looking very well. Sowing of the latter still continues. Burke. Consumption, Wasting Diseases, And General Debility. Doctors disagree as to the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and Hypophosphitcs?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 the endorsements of thousands of the best Physicians through? out the country. C. F. JONES. R.

These Goods must and shall go, as we are bound to have room for that SPRING STOOE which will awake snakes and astonish the natives. While we have recently more than doubled our Dry Goods business, and will this Spring add still more to this Department, we hope our Farmer friends will not lose sight of the fact that we are still Headquarters on FARMERS' SUPPLIES Including a full line of FARMERS' HARDWARE. The celebrated BOB WHITE PLOW does the same work as the Boy Dixie exactly, and only costs $1.50, and can be attached to any ordi? nary Iron Foot Stock which has a bolt above and one underneath the beam. Many of our customers like it much better than the regular Dixie, on account of its being so much lighter to lift around, and then it is so much cheaper. We gnarantee it to give perfect satisfac? tion, or money cheerfully refunded, after a fair trial, but they stick every time, not* withstanding this unusual guarantee. By taking off the long wing and patting on a short one, it makes the best Subsoil known to agriculturists for Spring plow? ing. We have 24,000 pounds of Steel Plows, and will guarantee prices as low as any house in the State. Our Grocery Department Is as full and cheap as usual. In pro? visions we had thought Bacon too high, and did not stock up as heavily as is usual with us at this season, and contra? ry to our expectations the market seems still tending upwards. Of course no one outside of the big meat speculators know the future, and they will carry the market whichever way suits their pock ets best. On Flour we thought we saw a safe investment, and we crowded our large Warehouse at prices from 25c to 75c less than the same grades can be bought today.
