Ander? son Lodge was represented by Rev. A. A. Marshall, who was elected Grand Fore? man of tbe Order. On behalf of the Lodge, Mr.-Marshall presented Deputy Grand Master Murphy a gold headed cane for valuable services rendered tbe Order. We would ask the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Robt. A. Mayfield, who has just placed in position a first-class grist mill, and is prepared to grind corn at any time. Mr. Mayfield is still in the lumber business, and is ready at all times to supply you with anything m that line. His plaining mill is on Depot street. ^ Rev. A. A. Marshall received a telegram while in attendance upon the Southern Baptist Convention at Richmond, Ya., an? nouncing the serious illness of his wife, who Is in Gainesville, Ga. He immedi? ately left for Gainesville. We have not been able to get any information as to the condition of Mrs. Marshall, but hope she is improving and will soon be well. Last Saturday lightning struck the house of Mrs. Malinda Chapman, who resides about three miles from Cooley's Bridge, in Greenville County, and in? stantly kiUed Mrs. Boyce, a daughter of Mrs. Chapman. Mrs. Boyce was stand? ing near the fireplace preparing dinner, and was struck on top of her head, burst? ing her skull, singing her hair and tear ing her right arm almost to pieces. Her shoe soles were also torn from her feet. The bolt, it is supposed, came down the chimney, which was partly destroyed, and passed out through the gable end of the house. Mrs. Chapman, who was standing near Mrs. Boyce, was not in -jured, though considerably stunned. Two dogs, one of which was under the house and the other in the yard, were also killed at the same time. The Spokane Falls (Washington Terri? tory) Dally Chronicle, of the 2nd inst, contains the following: "Last evening at eight o'clock in the parlors of the Wind? sor hotel in this city, the Rev. May C. Jones officiating, Dr. D. A. Coyert and Mi?? Alice Stark were pronounced man and wife'. The bridegroom was born in Cayuga County, New York State; be has been in the West a number of years and is the owner of a vast herd of cattle near Sonora, Mexico. The bride is a native of Abbeville County, South Carolina. She has been a resident of Washington terri? tory for the past two years. Both the contracting parties are well known in this neighborhood where they have many friends who wish them unalloyed happi? ness as they together pursue their course down the journey of life. . The newly wedded pair left this afternoon' to visit friends down the Spokane & Palouse branch. They expect to travel the entire summer and enjoy a. protracted honey? moon." . The Charleston daily Sun, in speaking, of the anniversary celebration of the Yan derbilt Association,' says: "The Hon. James Simons introduced to the audience the annual orator, E. B. Murray, Senator from Anderson County, who delivered the speech of the evening, taking for his sub? ject, "The New South." While Mr. Mur? ray Ib well known to the people of Charleston as an able and eloquent speaker, his listeners were hardly pre? pared for the. masterly and carefully pre? pared exposition of a most interesting subject, which he viewed from every standpoint, and during the delivery of which he was frequently interrupted by enthusiastic applause. Space unfortu? nately prevents a publication of even a synopsis of this address, but certainly the Vanderbilts have never had the privilege of hearing an oration , more replete with noble and inspiring sentiments, or more clear'and convincing in its defense of Southern institutions, both .past and present. A deserved tribute was paid by Mr. Murray, at the conclusion of his address, to the' objects and purposes of the Yauderbilt Association." Mr. R. P.*Brooks Jamison, of this County, and Miss Corrie Mattison. of Abbeville County, were married on Thursday evening, May 10th, 1888. The ceremony, which was impressively per? formed by Rev. T. B. Boris, was to have taken place in the Baptist Church at Honea Path, but the inclement weather prevented, and it was performed at the home of the bride's grandmother, Mrs. Ellen Lattimer, about three miles from Hone? Path, Quite a number of the friends and relatives of the couple wit? nessed the marriage. The following were the attendants: Mr. J. H.. Anderson and Miss Leila Barts, Mr, A. T. Newell and Miss Made- Lattimer, Mr. T. J. Clafc wortby and Miss Corrine Tucker, Mr. E. W. Long and Miss Ida Jamison, Mr. J. W. Callaham and Miss Mamie Wilson, Mr. Will Tucker and Miss Nannie Calla? ham. On Friday the bridal party came to the home of tho groom near Pierce to wn, ' where a reception was tendered them. Mr. Jamison is one of Anderson County's most worthy and excellent young men, and his charming bride is one of Abbeville County's most popular young ladies. The Inteeigenceb ex? tends its congratulations to the happy couple, and wishes them a happy and prosperous voyage through life. For forty years or more it has been the custom to hold an annual pic nie at Slab town on Saturday before the second Sun? day in May, and the occasions have always been most pleasant ones and attended by large crowds. The pic nie there last Sat? urday was a repetition of former years. We attended, and of course had a most pleasant time. We left the city early Sat? urday morning in company with our - olever friend, Mr. N. R. Green, who had kindly offered us a seat' in his buggy. Friend Green owns a Bwift horse, and we were not long in reaching the end of our journey.- Arriving there, we found the young people coming in from every direc? tion, Pick ens and Greenville Counties being largely represented. By 11 o'clock the crowd had got fairly into the festivi? ties of the day, and everybody seemed de termined to have a good time. The school house was used by the merry dancers, while those who did not care to dance roamed around in the woods and grounds. About noon {.he clouds' appeared' and - a light rain fell,'-but the sun soon came out again. A basket dinner was served, and if everybody fared as we did there was no ground for complaint. The people of that section know how to conduct a plo nie. We spent Saturday night at the home of Mr. H. Tucker, where we were one of the merry participants in a pleasant sociable. On Sunday we attended Church at Pisgah, returning at noon, to the hospitable hoqjo of C?l. J. Jameson, where we spent sev? eral hourg and enjoyed a rrjost splendid dinner. Our" trip was an' exceedingly enjoyable one, and we will take advan? tage of Uie first opportunity to visit that section again. Hotel. In selecting a site for a hotel, it is very important to have play-grounds for chil? dren, also flower and vegetable gardens at? tached. We know of no place more desi? rable than M. Kennedy's, on Belton Street, There is an eight-room house on premises in good order, between forty and fifty acres of land of various soil?underdrained, ditched and terraced. It would make an excellent dairy and vegetable farm, suffi? cient to supply an hotel. It is situated two blocks from the Square, and one of the most delightful' sites in the up-country. It is offered for sale for $5,000. * A good second hand Piano for sale. If sot sold, will exchange for a good horse, or rent Apply at this office. 144-3.

Memorial Day (May 10th) was observed by Miss Nora Hubbard's school, and the exercises wero very appropriate and in? teresting. The exercises took place at the school house at 3 o'clock p. in., and were witnessed by only those who had been invited to serve on committees. The rain was constant all day, but this did not keep the boys and girls away, and at the ap? pointed hour they were all present, ready and willing, with their sweet smiles, bright faces and fragrant flowers, to honor the memory of our heroic dead. For a day or two preceding, the pupils were busy gathering and arranging flow? ers for the occasion, and a view of the in? terior of the building showed that they had done their work well. The collection of flowers was large and beautiful, and had been tastily arranged into wreaths, crosses, etc. On tbe wall of one of the recitation rooms were suspended eleven large wreaths, each one representing a Southern State. In tbe midst of the wreatlis was an old Confederate flag. ' The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. W. S. Wightman, after which the following programme was rendered: 8ong: "Our Sleeping Heroes." Recitation: "Onco more we strew fresh flow? ers."?Kate Loe Porcher. Speech: "Decoration Dav."?Archie Todd.

' The programme was a very appropriate one, and each participant did his or her part well. The essays of the young ladies were exceedingly creditable productions, and were very Interesting. At the close of tbe school in June, Miss Hubbard will award three prizes, one for the best recitation, another for the best essay, and another for the best speaker. With this in view, she bad appointed three committees to decide on this occasion who would be entitled to contest for these prizes. The committees were as follows: On Recitations?J. G. Clinkscales, W. S. Wightman and J. L. Tribble; on Essays ?A. S. Todd. W. H. Frierson and R. F. Divver; on Speakers?C. C. Langs ton, S. M. Crayton and J. M. Hubbard. At the conclusion of the programme these com? mittees retired and in a few minutes made their reports, as follows: Best Recitations, Misses Carrie Seel and Maggie Fretwell; best Essays, Misses Gena Benson, Minnie Wilson and Anna Scott; best Speakers, Masters Percy Wightman, Harry Orr, Henry Todd and Scotte Brown. At the closing exorcises of the school the above named will contest for tbe prizes, and the committees will then decide who will be entitled to them. At the conclusion of the programme the rain was still falling, and it was decided to postpone the decoration of the soldiers' graves until next morning. Before dis? missing the^pupils, Mr. S. M, Orayton, being called upon, amused the assembly by relating how be came home from the war, about the mule he rode, and then Invited them to visit him and he would show them this same old mule. Friday morning the children marched to the cemeteries and decorated the graves of the soldiers. Miss Hubbard certaii 1 y made a success of the occasion, as she always does in any? thing she undertakes. An Andersonlan Honored. The Board of Trustees of the South Caro? lina University met in Columbia on the 9th inst., for the purpose of re-organizing the institution on the basis adopted by the last General Assembly. The most important business before the Trustees was the elec? tion of the Faculty. All of the old Facul? ty were re-elected. The phajr of Latin being vacant, there were quite a number of applicants for the position. Mr. J. S. Murray, Jr., pf this city, being one pf the number. Mr. Murray was elected to fill the chair, and will enter upon his duties at the opening of the Fall session. Mr. Murray is the youngest son of Rev. J. S. Murray, of this city. He graduated at Furman University, and in 1878 took the degree of Master of Arts. In 1880 he was admitted to the. Bar of South Carolina, but soon determined to devote his life to classical study ; according? ly in 1882 he entered John's Hopkins Uni? versity, where he pursued a course in classical philology under Dr. Gildersleeve. In 1883 he was a student at Gottengen and at Leipsic ; finally in 1884 he entered the University of Berlin, and has there pursued for the last four years a very advanced course of work in classical philology. The degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Philology will be conferred upon him- in June. Mr. Murray has had the advantages of studying under some of the greatest classical special? ists of the world, and is spoken of very highly by them. Dr. S. Vahlen, professor of the University of Berlin, Director of the Philological Seminary Fellow of the Roy^al Academy of Sciences, says: That "by such long and zealous attention to these various studies he has acquired, equally, a sound understanding of the Latin language, and a clear insight into the methodical treat? ment of Latin authors. Moreover, Mr. Murray has been for some long time engag? ed in tbe execution of a philological inves? tigation on Cicero's book, 'De Inventione and by personal conversation, I have had repeated opportunity to recognize that he has grasped his subject with interest." Prof. Butmann" of Berlin writes: "I must especially mention that he works on the strictest scientific principles. I have satis? fied myself that under the guidance, espe? cially of Profs. Kirchhoff and Vahlen, he has sought, with the best success, to pene? trate to the profoundest understanding of the classical writers, in poetry as well as in prose. ? * * Mr. Murray bids fair to render distinguished service, both practical and theoretical." Dr. James 0. Furman, President of Furman University, declares: That "1 believe Mr. Murray would be a val? uable addition to any faculty" Dr. B. L. Gildersleeve of Johns Hopkins University says: "that the teachers whose instruction he has followed }n Germany are among the most eminent in the worldfand that he has had opportunities seldom, if ever, accorded to any American student of tho olassios. Whatever testimony such wen as Kirch? hoffand Vahlen may bear in his favor, is to be received with the utmost confidence and respeot." Photographs.

The Sabbath School at the school house near G. W. Farmer's, under the superin? tendence of Mr. S. K. Bolemun, numbers about one hundred scholars. It is reported that a bear, for sure, is gyrating through this part of the country. In the still dead hours of night, it is said that he suddenly falls upon the barnyard and demolishes pigs, poultry and dogs indiscriminately. We presume that be is the identical bear that used to scare us almost unto death when we were a boy some?well, many years ago. We will state for the benefit of prospec? tive candidates that tbe Fork is commit? ted against the liquor traffic, both now and forever. ? So mole it be ! The farmers of this section appear some? what indifferent as to what may be the result of tho litigation over tbe Clemson bequest. The truth is they are not enthu? siasts upon tbe Agricultural College ques? tion at all; and while the noble generosi? ty of the late Mr. Clemson is none the less appreciated, the bequest is not re? garded as of much importance to tbe bur? dened farmers of tbe State. Tbe senti mont favors a more efficient system to disseminate common school education among tbe masses. Also a more economi? cal government, honestly administered, is a desideratum. Vox. Lowndcbvllle Items. The farmers have been blessed with fine and much needed rains, and they are once more cheerful and hopeful. Some miscreant, without the fear of the law, has been - amusing himself by whit? tling a spoke from the wheel of ene of the new buggies of Messrs. Barnes <fe Baker. Mr. Hal. Power and Bartow Henderson went seining in Rocky River, at Swearin gin's mill last Friday, and caught a trout that weighed eight pounds. Mrs. W. H. Martin, who has been visit? ing her son, Bev. W. S. Martin, returned home last Tuesday. A large number of negrties from Ander? son came down on a pic nie excursion last Friday. Some of them brought along a supply of "Mountain Dew" to keep up their spirits, and in consequence felt as big as old Bonaparte when he held the bridge of Rivoli, and tried to imitate him by pre? venting any one from crossing the bridge over Rocky River; but they were routed and fined ten dollars. That broke up the pic nie, and most of them left in disgust on the noon train. Dr. 0. R. Horton, who has been sick for Borne time, died last Sunday night, and was buried yesterdav in the Smyrna ceme? tery. Miss Sallie Donald, accompanied by her sister-in-law, Mrs. J. L. Donald, returned home last Friday. Some of the boys are inconsolable. Mr. Charlie Clinkscales, who went to the business college of Lexington, Kentucky, to finish his education, is very sick. _ Evas. Pendleton Farmers' Society. Pendleton, S. 0., May 12, 1888. At a call meeting of the Pendleton Farm? ers' Society, held at their Hall this day after a few appropriate remarks by Pres!-' dent D. K. Norris, the following preamble and resolutions were presented by Dr. P. H. E. Sloan and unanimously adopted: > Whereas, it has become the sad duty of this Society to put on record the sense of its loss in tbe death of its late ex-Presi? dent, the Hon. Thos. G. Clemson; and also of its feelings in regard to his munifi? cent bequest to tbe farmers of tbe State; be it therefore Resolved. That this Society looks with sorrow upon the departure to another world of one who, when the State lay prostrate amidst the wreck of war, raised his voice in earnest appeal to "his fellow-men to found an institution for educating our peo? ple in the Sciences, to the end that Agri? culture be improved, our worn, impoyer-, ished lands be recuperated, and the great natural resources of the South be devel? oped." We, therefore, as farmers, have cause to be grateful that he followed his words by a deed bo liberal as to place with? out a doubt upon a sure foundation the College he yearned to have established twenty-two years ago. It is with sorrow that we record the death of one who took such interest in our occupation ; and there? fore be it Resolved, That a blank page in our Min? ute Book be inscribed with the name and date of the death of our late Ex-President, and that these resolutions be published in the Keowee Courier, Anderson Intelligencer, Greenville News and News and Courier ?. K. Noreis, President. Geo. E. Taylob, Secretary. Remarkable Un.ll Storm., Messrs. Editors?Gentlemen: I notice in your issue of 10th inst., that Mr. Ers kine, of Broadaway Township, this Coun? ty, brought a basket of hail to your city that had laid upon the ground between two and three weeks alter it had fallen. On the 18th day of May, 1856, there fell a hail on Caltow Mountain, in Pickens County, (northwest portion of the Coun? ty,) wagon loads of which remained where it fell over two months. Many wagon loads were hauled away from there during June and July. On the third Sunday in August I met up with a man who bad a large handkerchief tied up full of stones, about the siza of ap orange. There was several hundred acres of original forest on the mountain, which was stripped entirely of its foliage?not a hamper basketful! of every description being left on tbe limber; tbe small tim? ber, including limbs of all sizes, was stripped of tbe bark as If it had been pulled off with an axe. As far as tbe mountain could be soeu the next day, it had the appearance of the oak in mid Winter. The tlmtler was nearly all killed. Crops in tbe near neighborhood of tho mountain were liternliy boat Into tho earth. Fire would pot strip the earth gleaner of dry straw than it was stripped of vegetation by the hail. Mr, West Graut, who lived one mile from the moun? tain, had ten acres In wheat which was in bloom. He told me, noxt day after the hail, that he wou,ld give me fifty dol? lars if. X would find a straw in the field six inches long. \ lived two miles from the mountain, just in tho edge of tbe streak, whioh passed to the South of our place, and plenty of stouos fell in our yard from the size of a tea to a pint cup? as large as a man's fist from tbe wrist joint. The stones broke through bouse roofs, whore it was severest. It was sim? ply fearful. There are plenty of living witnesses who will testify to tbe facts stated above if called upon, Respectfully, W. G, Field. rcher, 8, C, May 11, 1888. A Sound Legal Opinion. E. Bail ddge Munday, Esq., County Atty., Claj Co. Tex. says: "Have used Electric H?ters with most happy results.
