Daring the summer months overheated people are likely to drink more cold water than is safe or healthful. A small quantity slowly imbibed will give better results than large draughts hastily tstfen. The seat oi thirst is located in the back of the throat and contact of water with that point gives the relief sought. Less than a glass of water will appease tbe most ardent craving if takon in small sips, a breath being drawn and expelled between swallows. Try it.

Herman Lodge, No. 116,.A. P. M., was dedicated at Starr last Saturday, R. F. Divver, acting Most Excellent Grand Mas? ter. The Grand Lodge was opened in the Church and a procession formed and marched to the new Lodge room, which was formerly dedicated to Freemasonry, after which the procession marched back to the Church, where speeches were made to the fraternity and the crowd present by JT. E. Breazeale, Esq., and Col. W. C. Mo Gowan. At the conclusion of the speak? ing the Grand Lodge retnrned to the new? ly dedicated Lodge Boom and was closed. A sumptuous repast was spread in a build? ing near by, to which all did ample jus? tice. After the dinner. 0. Wardlaw, Esq., Col. W. 0. McGowan, and E. W. Long, Esq., delivered speeches to the audience in the grove near by. Mrs. Ella Marshall,.the beloved wife of Rev. A. A.Marshall, pastor of the Bap? tist Church in this city, died last Thurs? day [afternoon at the parsonage, aged about 30 years. Mrs. Marshall came to Ander? son not quite a year ago, and has been confined to the house nearly ever since she came. She was afflicted with that fatal disease, consumption, and bore her sufferings with that patience and fortitude characteristic of "a true Christian. Those whoso pleasure it was to form her ac? quaintance found her a most noble and excellent lady. She leaves behind hot a husband and four small children, who have the deepest' sympathy of onr entire city in their bereavement. The remains were interred in the Baptist cemetery Friday afternoon, in the presence of a large concourse of friends, Rev. J. S. Mur? ray, assisted by Rev. D. E. Frierson and Rev. B. M. Pack, conducting tbe funeral services. One day last week a man named Wm. Kennedy and his family, consisting of a wife and eigbt children, passed through the city on their way to Americns, Ga. They were traveling in a small wagon, drawn by an ox. The wagon halted on the Square for a short time, and attracted a crowd around it. Mr. Kennedy said he had come from Greene County, Va., hav? ing left there about 5th of April. He said be was a native of Americas, Ga., and bad left there to go into tbe war. His Company went to yirginia, and shortly before, the surrender he was wounded and left on the battlefield. He became sepa? rated from his Company, and' was never able to reach it again. After he^*$d re? covered from his wounds, he married and settled down in Yirginia, where he had ever since resided. He said he had fre? quently written to his relatives at Ameri? cas, Ga., bat had never, received a word from them in reply. He finally made up his mind to return to his native home, which he expects to reach about the mid? dle of July. His children were all small, and among them were two sets of twin boys. His property besides his wagon and ox, consisted of a straw bed, a few cooking utensils and two dogs. It was our good fortune to spend a few hours at Pelzer last .Friday and meet a number of her good citizens. To say that I our visit was a most pleasant one would be expressing it mildly. Three years had I elapsed since oar last visit there, and we could see that many improvements had been made within that time. The cotton mill has been considerably enlarged, and the work Is still going on. A large yarn I mill is now in process of erection, pelzer j is certainly a model town, bat it could not ; be otherwise with such a gentleman as Mr. Smy the at its head. The three lead? ing business houses of the town aro those of Hill & Co., G. W. Sullivan and A. B Carpenter. A new store-room is being erected,.and will be occupied after 1st of September by B. C. Martin & Son, of Wil liamston. These firms carry large stocks of goods, and are doing a fine business. We bad the pleasure of meeting Mr. Clarke, the Superinteudant of the mill, Mr. Lebby, the Secretary, Mr. Blake, the Cashier of the Pelzer Bank, and Mr. C B. Owens, chief clerk in the Secretary's office, all of whom are affable and cour? teous gentlemen. To Mr. Owens~we are especially indebted for courtesies sh )wn as. We dined with "mine host," Mr. 0. Witter, of the Pelzer Hotel, who k?eps one of the best hotels in this sectio.i of the State, and knows bow to please a hun? gry man. Probably one of the most interesting events of the Tournament week was the trial of the new steam fire engine, built by the Waterous Engine Works, of St. Paul, Minn. It had been entered for the engine contest on Thursday, but owing to delay In transit, it did not arrive nntil Sat? urday, consequently it was too late to com? pete for the prizes. ChiefDivver, how? ever, arranged to have a special trial of the engine on Saturday afternoon on the Court House Square, in the presence of a large crowd of spectators, who were all highly delighted and surprised at the per ; formance of the little beauty. Tbe first I test was that of the engine taking suction after being started, the length of suction hose being twenty feet. This was almost instantaneous?in fact, so short that the time could not be taken. The next test was for distance, through fifty feet of hose. The distance thrown was 194 feet, being more than 20 feet further than the distance thrown by the engine that took the prize in the Tournament. Several other satis? factory tests were made. This engine is of an entirely new design, the makers specially intending it for use in small towns and villages baying volunteer com? panies. It is without doubt tbe most pow? erful machine for its size we have over seen. It does not look more than about half the size of the ordinary steam fire engine, and weighs, we are informed, abont 2600 pounds. Judging from its per? formance, it could have easily taken the two first prizes, both for quick steaming and long distance. Chief Divver, who was instrumental in getting'the manufac? turers to bring this machine here, has se? cured the agency for the South, and we predict for him a large trade. It is cer? tainly the most feasible and practical steam fire engine for small towns that we have seen. jff Anderson's Sensation. For several days past our usually quiet little city has been stirred from center to circumference with excitement, and espe? cially so since last Saturday afternoon, when Mrs. M. ?. Keese was arrested un? der two charges of arson. As is well known, since Christmas our city has had several fires, which, it is be? lieved, rere the work, of an incendiary. Mrs. Keese was suspicioned as being the guilty party, but a few weeks ago a com? mittee of our* citizens investigated the charges against her and published a card stating, in substance, that these suspicions were ill-founded. The fires had occurred, and the senti? ment of our people was in favor of ferret; ing out the matter and finding out who was guilty of the crime. Everybody was of the opinion that the City Council should engage a detective to investigate the burn? ings. The Council secured a ^detective, but bis presence in Anderson was not known until a few days ago. He had been here two or three weeks, and when he thought he had secured sufficient evi? dence to make out a case, he made himself known as G. W. Shackelford, of Shackel ford's Detective Agency, Macon, Ga. Mr. Shackelford made his report to the City Council last Saturday, and upon that re? port Mrs. Keese was arrested. The warrants were issued by Justice Quattlebaum. The pieliminary hearing began Saturday afternoon about 5 o'clock. The prosecution is represented by Brown & Tribble, and the defense by Murray, Breazeale &/M.nrraj. The investigation is conducted on both sides with a great deal of interest. There are about thirty witnesses to bo examined in each case. Only a few have been examined so far, and all the evidence thus far brought out is purely circumstantial, and too volumi? nous for us to undertake to give it here. The first case taken up was the arson case for burning Mr. Seel's stables. The preliminary hearing was adjourned from Saturday evening to Monday .morning, and then continued all day Monday, and lu the afternoon adjourned over to Tues? day morning, without having more than taken half the evidence, ?On Tuesday morning about sunrise Mrs. Keese was missed from her home aad search was at once instituted for her. It was soon discovered that she had gone in tho direction of Rocky River. Various opinions were expressed as to her inten? tion. The search was kept up until near 9 o'clock, when she was found in the branch running from the depot toward the river, near the river, lying on her face, almost dead from strangulation. She was taken out, cared for and soon resuscitated. It would have taken only a few minutes longer to have eroded her career in this world. There was nothing more done in the case Tuesday or Wednesday. Mrs. Keese is also oharged with arson in setting fire to Mrs. Bewley's house. That case bos not been reached yet in the. pre? liminary hearing. She has also been ar? rested on the charget>f forgery, in which it is alleged that she forged an order to Mr. Chapman's store with Mrs. Trow bridge's name to it. This has not yet been investigated. There is great excitement over the mat? ter, Many think Mrs. Keese is a lunatic, while some seem to think different. Gustav Frank, another detective who has been in the city for some time, was ar? rested Monday morning on a charge of attempting to induce a witness to swear falsely by offering him rewards. The pre? liminary was-set for Tuesday, and his bond fixed at $300. He, after some effort, failed to find bondsmen in Anderson, whereupon he telegraphed to Charleston, and in a few minutes he had the cash to deposit for bail, and was released from custody. The preliminary was heard before Jus? tice Wardlaw on Tuesday. Wesley Van diver, colored, is the person whom Frank is alleged to have attempted to suborn, Vandiver testified that the de? fendant came to see him, and after find? ing out what he knew in reference to Mrs, Keese sending an order to Chapman's store for some goods by Tom Norris, col? ored, told him if he and Tom would not swear that Mrs. Keeso gave Tom the note, he would see that they, wore both taken care of. Other witnesses were also introduced. The hearing was not con? cluded until Wednesday morning, when Justice Wardlaw announced that he wou}d reserve his decision for awhile. Just as we were going to press Justice Wardlaw informed us that he had dis? missed the case on the ground that there was no snit or case pending when the at? tempt was made. Circuit Court. The June Term of Court of General Ses? sions for this County oonvened on Mon? day, with his Honor Judge Wallace pre? siding. All the officers of the Court were in their places. His Honor made a brief charge to the Grand Jury, after which a number of bills of indictment were handed out and the Jury retired. The Grand Jury finished its work Mon? day, and were discharged Tuesday morn? ing. Their Fresentinent was very brief, and contains nothing of public interest. Monday and Tuesday was consumed in the trial of the following cases: State vs. James Speer.- Burglary and Larceny. Plead guilty, and was sentenced to three years imprisonment in the Peni? tentiary.

Bauton. A good second hand Piano for sale cheap at the Anderson Music House. A Pleasant Day at WIlHaranton. Last Thursday it was our pleasure to wit? ness the closing exercises of the Williani ston Female College, the first public exer? cises that have been held in the College in years. The exercises opened Wednesday afU-r uoon at four o'clock, at which time the alumrue held their annual re-union, which, we were told, was a most pleasant occasion. Among other features of the meeting was the reading of an essay by Mattie Brown, on the subject of "Woman Suffrage," which she discussed in a very interesting manner. On Wednesday evening the College Chapel was filled by a very intelligent au? dience, who had assembled to hear the Commencement Sermon. Rev. A. A. Marshall, of this city, had accepted the invitation to preach the sermon, but, owing to tbe seriois illness of Mrs. Marshall, was prevented from being pres? ent. His place was filled by Rev. D. Wes< ton Hiott, who had accidentally arrived in the villBge late that afternoon. Mr. Hiott had only an hour or two to prepare his thoughts, but notwithstanding this fact, his sermon was a very fine effort and was highly enjoyed by his hearers. When we reached the beautiful little village Thursday morning everybody was astir. The Young America Cornet Band, of this city, had already arrived and was discoursing sweet music, and the people were wending their way to the College building. We turned our steps in that di? rection, and were Boon ushered into the spacious Chapel, where a most charming scene was presented to our eyes. It is almost impossible to describe the beautiful decorations, wlxich consisted of evergreens, flowers, pictures and other specimens of art and handiwork, tastefully and neatly arranged around the walls and the stage. The exercises opened with a sacred se? lection of music by the Band, after which Rev. D. W. Hiott led in prayer. Dr. Lan? der then, in a few well chosen words, wel? comed the audience, and introduced as the orator of the day Prof. Woodward, of Wofibrd College, who had been invited to deliver the annual address before the Ero sophic Society. Prof. Woodward announ | ced as his subject, "Woman's Work in the World," and spoke for more than an hour. His address was practical, logical and full of good, common sense, and was one'.of the most appropriate addresses to young women that we have ever listened to. His lan? guage was simple and chaste, and his ad? dress no doubt made a deep impression upon his hearers. At the conclusion of the address the au? dience was dismissed, after being invited to return to the Chapel at 3 o'clock. Be? fore leaving the Chapel we spent a short time very pleasantly viewing the many beautilul specimens of art which adorned the stage. These specimens were the work of the art pupils, all of which had been executed since the 1st of February. Many of tbem would have been creditable to an expert artist, and it was a feast to tbe eyes to view them. At dinner we were a guest of Dr. Lander. Of course we had a fine dinner, but it is . not to be expected that a modest young bachelor like the writer would eat very much when surrounded by forty or more beautiful College girls. However, we sat? isfied our hunger. At the appointed hour In the afternoon the Chapel was again filled, and the audi? ence was highly entertained by short talks on education from Prof. Woodward, Rev. Mr. Hiott and C. Wardlaw, Esq., after which Dr. Lbn der came to the front and explained why he had invited the citizens of Williamston especially to attend this session of the exercises. He said the prop? erty of the Williamstoh Female College was owne3 by a joint stock company, and was 'leased to S. Lander & Sons. Over the property there was a mortgage of about I 93,000, but that he had succeeded in the past few days in getting enough additional stock subscribed to almost lift the mort? gage. He said the shares were only $50 each, and if he could get five more shares taken, the property would be free of debt. The words had hardly been uttered before the additional stock was subscribed. Dr. Lauder next read a report of his College for the. past year. The report showed that 114 pupils had been enrolled, 45 of whom were boarders, and that seven States were represented on the roll. He stated that about $250.00 had been given away In pre? miums during the session, the premiums ranging from 40 cents to $18.00, and that it is possible for a student to get a discount of 70 per cent, off of her tuition fee during One session. At the conclusion of these remarks, Dr. Lander stated that three young ladies?Miss Janie Featherstpn, of Anderson, Miss Lucy Ellis, of Pickens, and Miss Susie Littlejohn, Spartanburg? had graduated at the close of this session. These young ladles then parne forward, and the Doctor,, in a very impressive, feeling manner, gave them some good advice, after which he presented each with a book. A hymn, "God be with us until we meet again," was sung, Rev. Mr. Munderlyn pronounced the benediction, and the ex? ercises closed. The good ladies of Williamston had ar? ranged to have a festival in the Spring Park during thp evening, the proceeds to be do? nated to the improvement of the College building, but after every preparation had been made and the crowd had begun to assemble there, the rain came up and tho festival had to be transferred to tbe College Chapel. The rain continued until after dark, but it did not keep the people away. It seemed everybody in the village wanted to show their appreciation of the efforts of the ladies io raise funds to help beautify the college building, and the'way the cream, cake, etc-, disappeared ic showed that the crowd was not close-fisted. The young ladles who waited on tbe tables were kept quite busy, and by their sweet smiles and courteous attention added much to the profits of the evening. Among the most exciting events of tbe evening was the the voting of a cake to the most pop? ular young lady present. For a time excitement ran high, two young men spending respectively fourteen and seven? teen dollars each in fuyor of their favorite girls. The votes were ten cents each, and the cake brought more than forty dollars. Miss Addie Duckworth received the high? est number of votes, and was awarded the oake. Tbe festival ended about 11 o'clock, and everybody seemed to Jiave ppent a most enjoyable evening. We are proud that there is such an Insti? tution in Anderson County as the William? ston Female College, and the good people of Williamsion realize that they are fortu? nate to have it in their midst, We know of no better institution in tbo South for the education of young women. Dr. Lan? de-is peculiarly fitted for the training of girls, and his faculty is composed of live, energetic teachers. The College, in every department, is equipped with everything needful in a first-class institution. As is well known, Dr. Lander has pursued the one-study plan very .successfully for a num? ber of years. The session Is divided into sections, aud each section is devoted to a certain study. By this plan, it takes a student a little longer to graduate, but when she does graduate her parents may rest assured that she has an education. Long live the Williamston Female College, its excellent President and accomplished Faculty! _ Attention, Orr'? Regiment! The Executive Committee of the Survi? vors of Orr's Regiment will meet in the city of Anderson on Wednesday. July 11th. for the purpose of arranging a pro? gramme for the annual meeting of the Survivors at Saudy Springs in August. The Committee consists of one representa? tive from each Company. The papers of Oconee, Pickens and Ab? beville Counties are requested to extend this notice. W. T, MoGiT.T,, Secretary. r _ -_ Ttrlggs Items. After a silence of several months we again Bend you a few items from this point. We are having an excellent season for the farmers, and we never saw the crops in better condition. Our crop3 are about two weeks later than usual, but are looking well and growing finely. The area in cot? ton has been increased slightly In this soc tion?thnt. of corn about the same as last year. The wheat crop, as a general thing, was not good?the oat crop is above the average. The tlireshermen are on their annual rounds, and the crop will soon be threshed and garnered. Gardens are looking well, though in some sections they would be benefited by rain. Garden vegetables, blackberries, ap? ples aud other fruits we are having in abundance. The peach crop will be light. The good housewives have commenced canning and preserving, and will soon have a bountiful supply of canned goods for winter use. Our little town has been considerably enlarged during the past few months. Mr. J. T. Stuckey has just completed a large two-story building; the lower story he has sold to Mr. J. T. C. Jones, who has a gene? ral stock of merchandise, and id doing a thriving business. The postofllce is now located in Mr. Jones' store, and he has been deputized to transact the business of the same. Mr. E. C. Pruitt & Co. keep a full stock of goods in their line, aud are meeting with deserved success. Mr. Harve Pruitt has just completed a neat one-story cottage, and took unto himself an excellent wife and gone to housekeeping. Ha sets a good ex? ample to others in our midst, and we wish him every success in life. We have bad a large and flourishing school at this place during this year. Mr, J. ;H. Simmons, one. of Abbeville's best teachers, has charge of the same, and has proved himself a thorough and pains? taking teacher. He is fully abreast of the times, and is well posted in the advanced methods of teaching. Oar community has been fortunate in securing his services, and it is hoped the patrons of the school will act in such a way as to retain him at the head of the school for several years. Hermon Lodge, No. 11G, A. F. M., has been removed from Cars well Institute to this place. They have rented the large and commodious hall over Mr. J. T. C. Jones' store, which was fitted "p especially for them. The new hall was dedicated last Saturday, R. F. Divver, Deputy Grand Master of the State, officiating. The ded cation services were public, and quite in? teresting and impressive to those who had never witnessed the same before. The Grand Master made a feeling address at the conclusion of the dedication, and holding up the charter granted to this Lodge 23 years ago, he said it was signed by the la? mented Jumes L. Orr, who was Grand Master of the Slate at that time. He alluded feelingly to all the other official names upon the charter, and said they had all passed away. After urging the mem? bers of the fraternity to let all their ac? tions through life be governed by the rules and obligations of the order, and request? ing the ladies present to lend their influ? ence in building up this Lodge. The Grand Master then requested the audience to repair to the Church, After all were com? fortably seated in the church, J. E. Brea zeale, Esq , was introduced and delivered an able and interesting speech upon Free Masonry. His speech and that of the Grand Master was well received by the au? dience, and will have the effect to dispel many erroneous ideas in regard to this no? ble institution. Wm. C. McGowan, Esq., was next called upon, and responded in a few appropriate remarks, which were well received. The audience were, then re? quested to repair to the vacant store-room near the Lodge, where a sumptuous dinner was spread, and all invited to help them? selves. In the afternoon it was agreed to give the candidates who were present a chance to address the crowd. C. Wardlaw, Esq., candidate for'School Commissioner, was first introduced, and gave the crowd a good speech in regard to education and free schools in our County. W. C. McGowan, Esq., of Abbeville, candidate for Solicitor, was next intro? duced, and by his ringing speech captivated the audience, and gained many friends. He is "chip of the old block," and is made of the stuff that will enable him to climb higher up the political ladder. E. W. Long, Esq., was next called for, and responded gracefully. He said he was not a candidate this year, but he thought every one should vote conscientiously, and for the best men who were in the field. Mr. Long made several other strong points in his speech, and just as he concluded some one in the audience asked him if he was a married man ? With a sad expres? sion stealing over his face, and breathing a deep drawn sigh, he replied, "No, sir, but I want to be mighty bad |: Thus ended the exercises of the day. Cu.pt. N.

Messrs. Editors: As 1 am out of anything to do, and almost out of the world, I will weary you as long as it takes to read this letter. In the first place I must thank the Rev. Dr. Frierson for his kind advice which brought me to this place. As you are aware, I have been in very bad health clnce March, and for one month confined to my bed. This place reminds me a little of Sandy Springs Camp Ground. The hotel is a very common structure?in fact, it is no hotel at all. It consists of a waiting-room, a ball-room, a parlor and an office. On the East side is the cook and dining-room; then a little West of these buildings is the' old Spring No. 1, surrounded by very large hickory trees, all that is left of the native forest; then on all four sides are little double cabins, sufficient to accommodate about two hundred guests two to the room. In front of these cabins are rows of shade trees, such as black locust, cedar, sycamore aud red elm, and a large majority of them indicate great age?in fact, the cabins look to have been bore for a hun? dred years or moro. There are no im? provements going on. I guess they won't improve in the future, as the proprietor don't care to have boarders. His sales of water amount to about sixty thousand dollars annually. Spring No. 2, which is the main one for l ithia, is about one hun? dred yards up the Littlo Buffalo Creek, and is just in the centre of where a few years ago stood a mill dam, and from this Dam Spring is shipped every day, the year round, from three to six hundred gallons of wuter. A man can drink a quart at a time and feel no inconvenience. I have at different limes seen a young man drink a half gallon in five minutes, and every day drinks two gallons. This lace is thirteen miles from the R. & D. R. R., and the roughest road I ever traveled. I was so feeble that it took five hours to make the trip, but I think now I could make it in half the time. On the way I cro?sed Dan River. It looks very much like the Savannah, the same size and color. There are other Lithia Springs being opened up in the adjoining Counties, which are making quite a repu? tation. Some of these I expect to visit. Andersonian. I A Card. Messrs. Editors: Tbe Newberry Team (Capt. White) do not desire to pass over in silence their delightful visit to the Anderson Firemena' Tournament. The hearty welcome extended to tbe visitors?the Orand Ball and splendid Banquet prepared by the citizens for tbe occasion?were sufficient evidences of tbe hospitality and liberality of a refined peo? ple. The prizes were impartially and jnstly awarded. The Newberry Team was not successful?but defeat was made pleasant. The air of prosperity of the town; the happy look of the citizens; and the love? liness of the beautiful ladies completely captured the Team. The kindness we received from every hand will make this visit to ub one of long remembrance. We desire to extend to the citizens and Fireman of Anderson onr heartfelt thanks for treating us so royally. In behalf of the Newberry Team, J. W. White, Captain. Clotting Exercises of the Lebanon School. Messrs Editors : Last Friday the closing exercises of Mr. W. P. Holland's school, at Lebanon, took place. There was a large attendauco. The programme was arranged for morning and afternoon. The following was the morning pro? gramme : Procession from school house to church. Song, by the School?"I will guide I thee." Speech, by Henston Smith?"Grand? mothers." I " Recitation, by Messie Duck worth?"The ' Little Rambler." Recitation, by George Kesler?"John/ Sleepyhead." Recitation, by Miss Delia Burriss? "The New Church Organ." Speech, by S. A. Bowen?"America's Contributions to tbe World." Report of little one, by children. Quintette?"Chime again beautiful Bells." Recitation, by Miss Ida Casey?"The Owl and Pussy Cat." Recitation, by Dai9y Duckworth?"Lit? tle Dilly Dolly." Recitation, by Annie Wakefield?"The old woman who lived in tbe shoe." Recitation, by Corrie Hutchinson? "Shadow of his Wing." Recitation, by Willie Richardson? "How we Whip the Teacher." ? Recitation, by Lunetta Hutchinson? "Emily Jane." Recitation, by Nena Breazeale?"The children watching the sun go down*" Recitation, by Willie S. Hutchinson? "Reformed Drunkard." - Recitation, by Annie Richardson? "Little Golden Hair." Charade?"Days of the Week." Address, by 0. Wardlaw. A recess was then taken, and a most excellent dinner enjoyed, after which the programme was. concluded, as follows: Gem exercises by the larger scholars. Speech, by Henry Richardson. Recitation, by Miss Eva Gentry?"Moth? er's Way." Recitation, by Miss Annie Dalrymple? "Picking Berries." Song?"What is Birdie Doing." Recitation, by Miss Mamie Quails? "The Widow Piper." Recitation, by Iber Burriss?"His Les son." Dialogue?"Tbe way to the town of Mauro." Recitation, by Lola Casey?"The Wid? ow O'Shane's Rent." Speech, by B. J. Smith?"The Grey honors the Blue." Stump Speech, by Walter Cosey. Song?"Paddle your own Canoe." Valedictory, by Lewis Richardson. The writer has never attended an ocoar sion that more forcibly impressed him with tbe ability of the teacher, and the careful work and study of the pupils. From the beginning to the close, .wa8 one unbroken chain of beautiful and 'pure selections, thorough preparations, and well disciplined and trained execution. There was not a single mistake or blunder, and not a trashy selection. Few vicinities have better schools than Lebanon, and not one has a better teacher, and the people of Lebanon ap? preciate their teacher, and encourage and help him, to which, in part, his unprece? dented success is due. Such an entertain? ment wields a good influence in a com? munity, that tends to elevate and better the public sentiment. Visitor. Go to Hill Bros, and buy a bottle of B. B.

Texaa is troubled with a plethora of cash. Its bonded indebtedness is only $4,600,000, which the holders will nou exchange for tl.9 money, preferring to draw the interest; and there is in the State treasury a surplus of more than $2,000,000. The school fand has a ear plus of $16,000,000, for nearly half of which no safe investment can be found. The farmers, to whom the State has beer? selling its lands on forty years' time, with only 5 per cent interest, in the hop? that they would be very dilatory about paying the principal, are piling in the money on the overburdened State treas? urer. The counties are doing the same. To add to its misery the State has 30,000 acres of land yet to sell, which are bringing every year higher and higher prices. ? A correspondent is informed that by the census of 1880 the average wealth of each man, woman and child in the United States was $338.01, consisting of real estate $250.93, and personal property $77.08. The total assessed valuaion in the census year was $16,902,993,643; es* timated true valutation $43,642,000,000. There is much guessing in the latter figure. ANNOUNCEMENTS. For Solicitor.
