We replied in. the affirmative, when the gentleman continued: "Well, I attended that man's wedding. It was a cold, raw day, and the preacher .who' performed the ceremony rode ten miles to do so. What do you suppose the preacher was paid, for his sendees?'' "Ten dollars." we replied, thinking that that was little enough on such an occasion and under such circum? stances. "He deserved fully that much," said the gentleman, "but be didn't get but twenty.fiyejpents." re^i-^-r,-.-;.:. c-.-r.-v-.j-.v.:--: ?- . The annual meeting of the Stockholdere of the Port Royal and Western Carolina Railway .Company will be held at the office of the Georgia Railroad Bank, at Augusta, Ga,, on Tuesday, November 6tb, at 11 a. m. Stockholders, their wives and unmar? ried daughters and sons, under age, on presentation of their certificates of stock to company's agents, will be furnishe' vith transportation to and from the mc ~og. Tickets returning will be good until No? vember 16th. T?ls will be a good oppor? tunity for a number of our citizens to attend the Augusta Exposition. The Baptist congregation of this city has for some time past been talkiog of erecting a new Church building, or Im? proving the present one, and the matter took definite shape last Sunday morning at a church conference, when, in a few minntes, five thousand dollars was sub? scribed for that purpose. This subscrip? tion will probably be increased to eight or ten thousand dollars this week. The first installment of the subscriptions will be paid in by the first of December, and it is proposed to commence work as soon after the 1st of January as the weather will permit. It is proposed to let the walls of the present building stand, but a new front will be erected and a new roof put on, and the interior will be considerably improved. By doing this a very hand? some and convenient building will be made of it. The Greenville News, of Tuesday, says: -"Piedmont is agitated by a sensation. The story comes from there that the ex? istence of organized band of robbers with field of operations in this County, Ander? son and PlckenB has been discovered. The grounds for the belief are briefly these: One day last week a letter was de? livered by mistake to a man living near Piedmont. He opened it and found it to -be an appointment for a rendezvous of a gang of robbers who were to rob the house of an old man living two miles from Pied? mont Sunday night. With this clue a party of men went from Piedmont Sun? day night and bid in the house to be at? tacked. Daring the night they heard voices and .suspicious sounds, but the pre? mature movement of one of the party drove them away. That same night a horse was stolen on the Augusta road six miles from Piedmont." The business of Anderson is steadily growing, and our city is entering, we be? lieve, upon a wider trade and more pros? perous - business era than it has ever known. To- d ay our merchants and cotton buyers are paying more for cotton than any market in the State. Our trade is ex? tending over surrounding Counties,.be? cause the enterprise of our business men is such that -they are outstripping any neighboring competition. If you, reader, have any doubts as to the advantages of Anderson as a market, come and examine for yourselves, and yon will be convinced. Anderson is one of the youngest cities in the State, but it is destined to lead in the Commerce of the up-country. Low prices for goods and supplies, combined with high prices for cotton and other country produce, make Anderson an admirable market, and it is being talked of in many sections of the State. Anderson is bound to grow. The Mongomery (Ala.) Daily Advertiser, of October 25th, says: "There was an? other happy wedding in Montgomery last night Mr. Lawrence N. Archer ana Mrs. Lul a Harvey, both of this city, were mar? ried at 8 o'clock at the residence of the bride's father, Mr. Jos. Curbow. Rev. Dr. J. D. Burkhead, pastor of the Presbyterian C?urcb, officiated and quite a nnmber of friends were present to witness the beau? tiful ceremony and'wish the high con? tracting parties all happiness. The groom' is a young man of ex eel leut character and sterling business qualities, and the bride is a lady of many charms and graces. Mr, Walter Montgomery, of Selma, was ' the groom's best man. The Advertiser joins the many friends of the happy couple in extending congratulations." Lawrence is an Anderson boy, and his many. friends here will read the above with interest, and join the Intelligencer in wishing him Along, happy and pros? perous life. '_ ' S Court. . The Court of General Sessions concluded its business last Thursday. The following cases were tried after our report of last week was made up: * Sanford Robinson, charged with carry? ing concealed weapons, was found guilty, but was recommended to the mercy of the Court. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $40 or be imprisoned in 'the Penitentiary for four months. . In the case against J. T. Sigler and Bax? ter McGill, who were tried.under'three indictments, a verdict against the former was rendered in one case, and against the latter in another case. They, were sen? tenced to pay a fine of $50 each, or be im? prisoned in the County Jail for four months. Both of them paid the fines. Chas. Henderson, who was charged with assault and battery of an high and aggravaed nature, was found guilty, and sentenced to imprisonment in the Peniten? tiary for six months. The .cases against Mrs, Mary E. Keese were postponed until next term of Court. The Court of Common Pleas was opened immediately after the business of the Court of Sessions was finished, and a considera? ble number of oivil cases have been dispos? ed of. The following are among the most important cases tried: k K. L. Cheshire vs. A.'Evans Brown. Complaint for'Services rendered. A ver? dict in favor of the Plaintiff for $103.00, was agreed upon. Murray, Breazeale & Mur? ray represented the Plaintiff, and W. H. Frierson the Defendant. John Brown vs. W. J. Brown. Com? plaint for slander. Verdict for Defendant. J. C. C. Featherston represented the Plain? tiff, and Broyles & Simpson the Defendant. Sherard & LeRoy vs. McCully, Cathcart & Co. Complaint on Money Demand. This case was given to the Jury late!Satur day afternoon, and, after remaining in their room until 5 o'clock Sunday morn? ing, failed to agree upon a verdict, and a mistrial was ordered. This is the second trial of this case, the Jury having failed to agree in the first trial. The Piain tiffs were represented by W. C. Benet, and the De? fendants by Murray, Breazeale <fe Murray. In the case of MayfieldA Co. vs. J. N. Byrum, complaint for relief, the Jury ren? dered a verdict of $227.32 in favor of the Plaintiffs. Prince & Vandiver and Wells & Orr appeared for the Plaintiffs, and Murray, Breazeale <fc Murray' for the De? fendant. The case of W. L. Kellett vs. G. F. and G. M. Tolly, complaint for damages, was taken up Monday afternoon and conclud? ed on Tuesday afternoon. The amount of damages claimed was $5,000, and the case excited considerable interest. The Jury remained in their room only a short time, and returned a verdict in favor of the De? fendants. Nix. <fc Nix represented Mr. Kellett, and Wells & Orr, Prince <fc Vandi? ver, and Murray, Breazeale & Murray ap? peared for the Messrs. Tolly. The busi? ness of Court will consume the balance of the week, and it is probable that the Juries will not be discharged before Saturday. County Convention. A Convention of the Farmers of Ander? son County will be held at the Court House, on saleday in November, to elect five delegates to represent them in the Stato Convention to be held in Columbia on the 14th prox., to elect a County Chair? man for the ensuing year, and to transact such other business as may be brought up. All are invited to attend, as this meeting will deal with questions of general inter? est. The meeting will be called at 12 o'clock. ' D. K. Norris, County Chairman, Ilickory Flat, S, 0., Oct. 25,1888. A IJaptlst Church to he Organised at Eu? reka. Messrs Editors : The good Book tells us that the righteous is like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringetb. forth his fruit in his season ; his-leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he does shall prosper. The truth of this divine expres? sion is verified in the Sunday School and prayer meeting work at this place. It is now clear and conclusive to minds that have been trying to think and act piously in our community, that the organization of a Baptist Church ut this place has become a necessity. The. circumstances by which we are environed as a commu? nity clearly justifies the enterprise. The matter has been seriously and prayerfully considered, and a number sufficient to enter into the compact to make it a suc? cess under the Divine blessing has enter? ed into the covenant, and has appointed Saturday, November 10, for tho constitu? tion of the body, and the following named Ministers of the Gospel aie invited as a presbytery, viz: Rev. J. S. Murray to preach upon tbe duty of a church to her pastor; Rev. A. A- Marshall to preach upon the duty of the pastor to the "church ; Rev. B. W. Whilden to define a new Testament church; Rov. D. W. Hiott to define the authority of a church over her members; Rev. M. McGee to define the authority of the pastor over tho church; Rev. B. Hayes to make special prayor for "the specess of the church ; also the Deacons of the Uplton, Neal's Creek and Flat Rock Baptist ohurohbs are espe? cially invited to constitute a part of the presbytery; also all lovers of our beloved Zion are cordially invited to greet us with their presence,, and aid us with their prayers. Rev. W. A. Gainea, of Abbeville, S. C, will preach ut Eureka on Friday, the 9th of November, at 7.30 p. m,, and also on Sunday the 11th, at 3 p. m. * The Only Strictly Clothing, Shoe and Hat House in the City.

DON'T BUT BEFORE YOU SEE THE BARGAINS OFFERED. fM JL- Gr. 3N^EjSl3STS. "Best Blue Flannel Suits S8.SO ?_ Denver Items. Tbe cold rain of last week greatly re? tarded cotton abont opening. Two or three weeks of good sunshine would be very acceptable to the farmers now. On Wednesday of last week, Babe Mor? ris, colored, while working around the molasses mill of J. W. Bowden, got his hand caught in the cog wheels, mashing his thumb till amputation was necessary. Dr. Watkins performed the operation, and at last account be was doing well. Several valuable tracts of farming lands, and one well located mill site are going to be sold within the next forty days. They are all located within two and a half or three miles of this place. We hope good parties will buy them, for a few good families in a settlement add greatly to it financially and morally. Salem Baptist Church has chosen Rev. B. M. Pack to the pastorate of that church for the ensuing year. With tbe first of November the law against killing game birds expires, and then the sportsman can shoot to his satis? faction without fear of the law. We are glad to believe the law is very generally respected. All true sportsmen' ought to be interested enough in the'protection of the game birds to see that tbe law is prop? erly enforced. Jay. Lebanon Items. We have been visited again wiih unfa? vorable weather for our cotton, peas, &c. Last week's rain give tho farmers a considerable backset in tbeir work. As the cotton buyers have not had the oppor? tunity of crying "storm cotton," I guess they will give it "Hail Columbia" now. A great many of our farmers are still sowing oats, while others think it too late in the season. Two of our young men, Messrs. Henry and John Walker, formed a partnership in making molasses, and, after sticking to their work very closely for about five weeks, made sixteen hundred gallons. We say hurrah for our young men. Miss Ida Drake, who has been living in Greenville for the past three years, is now visiting her father in. this community, Mr. Jim Bowen is now taking pictures at the Five Forks. We think he is well versed in this work. - The time of tbe year has come to see little stump fires built in every cotton patch to warm aching fingers. A. B. Craytonvllle Items. A great many of our farmers have late cotton, and without warm sunshine, there will be much left to be damaged by frost. Tho Cotton crop is much better in this .section than it was thought to be some? time ago. Mr. J. N. Robinson says he will get eight bales from six acres?Peter kin variety. Corn has been gathered and shucked, and is considerably damaged. It is feared that a great deal of it will be dangerous for stock to eat. The potato crop is reported very , good in this section, and some of our neighbors are trying to devise some plan by which they'Can preserve them through tbe win? ter. We don't know of any one plan to which there is no exceptions for storing potatoes, but tbe following is a very good one: dig them before tbe weather is cold enough to freeze tbe ground. In handling, be careful not to bruise any part of the potato. After they are gathered place them on a clean yard where the sun may shine on them for two or three days, or long enough for the skin to get thorough? ly dry. Care must be taken to cover them with cloths at night. In preparing a "hill," tbe foundation should be elevated, and thick boards, covered with dry pine straw, placed carefully down before put? ting the potatoes on. A great many say that the hill should be made so that tbe air might pass through it. We think it a very good plan to prepare two hills, and in case one should fail to keep, probably the other might be preserved. It is reported that several of our Ander? son County ladies are to be wedded to gentlemen from other Counties. The An? derson boys must take some steps to de? fend themselves, or adopt some plan to protect themselves from this foreign mat? rimonial importation. Mr. ?unlap, who lives near Honea Path, gave the young people an enter? tainment in the way of a "candy pulling." Some of tbe most charming young ladies of this settlement attended, and say tbey enjoyed a delightful occasion. If we were urged upon to say who the most unnatural, and at the same time the happiest human being is, we would at once refer to a young man who has been visiting his heart's idol for some time. Unnatural, because when he calls to see her and takes a seat in the big rocker by her side on the front porch, he rocks and talks at random in an unconcerned, hap? hazard kind of way, until he bids her "good night;" then the flood-gate of pas? sion seems to burst forth uncontrolled, and as he descends the steps, tells her that she must be aware of the never dying love he has for her, and that was it not for her, his life would be a blank, &c. By this time he has reached the gate, and the young lady has entered the hall and has the door almost closed. Then he is the happiest, because.he feels that his accom? plishments are complete, and his success sure; consequently, his voice is heard as it echoes and re-echoes through the silent and lonely forest as he rides home sing? ing 3ome old familiar hymn like "Jesus lover of my soul," &c. One of our neighbor boys has a brand new suit of clothes. He ras asked if be got the suit to get married in. His an? swer was "Just got them to start out in." "It is a strange thing," said an intelli? gent lady, "that a you eg man becomes tired of single life the very moment he falls iu love." Ckate. A Sound Legal Opinion. E.

October 24th, 1888, the Angel of Death came into oar midst nnd bore away In ita icy embrace the pure spirit of Mrs. M. JANIE ASHLEY, beloved wife of John T. Ashley, and I daughter of J. E. G. and Sarah Branyan. Mrs. Ashley was born and raised in Abbevill* Co., 8. C, but after she married moved to Anderson Co., and has resided here ever since, being at the time of her death thirty-nine years of age. She was a most excellent lady?kind, generous and affec? tionate, making a friend of every one with whom she became acquainted. For a number of years i she was a consistent and active member of the Baptist Church, and during her illness bore her sufferings with that patience and fortitude char? acteristic of a true Christian. She leaves behind her a bereaved husband and four children?also, seven step-children?who hare the sympathy of a host of friends and an extensive acquaintance In their bereavement. Though taken from the home where affection held her in fond embrace, and i love was her daily portion, she has been trans? ported to a fairer home, where pleasures are real aud happiness eternal. We cherish her memory as a green isle in the eea of time, and the waves never steeped In their elements an Island of a more true and noble heart. After appropriate funeral services, conducted by her pastor, Rev. B. Hays, the remains were laid to rest in Mt. Bethel Cemetery. She is among the angels, ? On the blissful, shining shore. Where tho brightest sunbeams linger, And the gloom of night is o'r. Just beyond the silent river She is dwelling with the blest, Since she left us all for heaven, Where the pure in heart find rest. She is among the angels, Pure and spotless ono above, Living mid celestial blossoms In that home of endless love; And with loving ones in glory, She is waiting for that day When her friends on earth will meet her, Never more from4>llss to stray. _A FRIEND.
