She will be a treasure to her husband, not only on account of her sweetness, but because she can occasion? ally keep her mouth shut. The Cadets of Patrick's Military Insti? tute were out on dress parade last Friday afternoon, and were highly complimented by every one who- witnessed the drill for the . excellent manner in which they executed the commands and went through the manual of arms. The Institute is now in a more flourishing condition than ever before, and new students are being added to the roll-almost every week. Rev. A. A. Marshall has recently been added to the faculty.

Brown & Sons' new advertisement. In addition to their large stock of general merchandise, they have in store a large lot of the Generostee and Atlantio fertilizers, which they are offering at very low prices. These fer? tilizers are among the best on the market, and our farmers should call on these gentlemen and get their terms and prices. A correspondent of the Elberton, Ga., Star has this to say of a young lady who formerly resided in Anderson: "Miss Alma Wiokliffe, the sweet songstress of North-East Georgia, entertained a large and select audience at the residence of Hon. A. 0. Harper on Monday evening. Each song was heartily encored, and she was voted the future prima donna of the South." We had a pleasant call last Friday from Mr. J. A. Groves, of St. Landry Parish. Louisiana. He, accompanied by a niece, was on his way to Florida, and stopped over in Anderson to visit rela? tives' He is now 91 years of age, and still retains much of his youthful vigor of both mind and body. Mr, Groves is a native of Abbeville County, but left this County when a young man. Bev. B. M. Pack and family, formerly of this County, have moved to West Un? ion. Mr. Pack will preach at West Union and Walhalla twice a month, and will continue to serve Salem Church in this County. He called to see us last Satur? day, and says he is well pleased with his new home. His congregations up there gave him a very warm reception in a very substantial manner. ?Greenville Enterprise oni Mountaineer: "The Editor of the Anderson Intelli? gencer received on Christmas Eve a beautiful gold-headed cane as a present from the clerks of the-business houses of that City. We congratulate our friend on his good fortune. The next time he visits Greenville, we .will expect him to call at our office and let us look at it." We will do so, Brother Bailey. The Central correspondent of the Green? ville News, under date of the 12th inst., says: "The Republicans are having a meeting here to-day. MoLane, of Oconoe, Walker Russell, of Anderson, Looper, of Pickens Court House, and others are here.. Not being in the "ring" don't know the object of the meeting. They say it is to discuss Harrison's Southern policy, but we think it is to -make out a slate for the upper Counties." List Thursday Policeman MoEinney arrested Andrew Jones and T. S. Wash? ington, two colored boys, on a charge of setting fire to the cotton at the Savannah Valley R. R. depot on the night of the 17th of last November.

On Tuesday morning Jones had a preliminary hearing before Trial Justice Wardlaw, and his .case was sent up to che Circuit Court.

The recent session of the Legislature made some changes in the pension law, and all the pensions heretofore allowed by South Carolina have been canceled or revoked, and applicants must make new applications, proof of disabilitv, poverty, &o. Under this new law, parties who consider themselves entitled to pensions will appear for examination before a County Board of Examiners, which will meet at the Court House of each County, and whatever applications these Boards approve, are sent up to the State Board, and, if there approved, the pensions are allowed, and are payable in two semi? annual installments of fifteen dollars each. It will probably be early spring before any checks will reach the benefi? ciaries. The County Pension boards will consist of two ex-Confederates soldiers and one.practicing physioian to be ap? pointed upon the recommendation of the several Senators. Last Friday morning between 1 aud 2 o'clock, Mrs. Martha Hubbard died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. F. Barr, in this city, in the 79th year of her age. She had been in feeble health for several months past, and her death was not unex? pected. Mrs. Hubbard was the relict of the late Win. Hubbard, who died more than thirty years ago, and was one among the oldest residents of Anderson, having resided here since 1854. Since her child? hood, she had been an exemplary mem? ber of the Presbyterian Church, and was a most excellent lady, whoso death is deeply regretted by a host of friends. After impressive funeral services, con? ducted by Rev. D. E. Frierson, D. D., at the Presbyterian Church, her remains were interred in the Presbyterian ceme? tery on Saturday morning, in the pres? ence of a large concourse of friends and relatives. She leaves one son and four daughters to mourn her death. Last Monday morning Mr. John T. Martin's dwelling house, with its con? tents, in'Broadway Township, was de? stroyed by fire. The fire was discovered about 3 o'clock in the morning, when Mr. and Mrs. Martin were awakened from their Blumbers by the roaring of the flames, and they barely had time to escape from the burning building with their lives. A feather bed and one or two trunks were all that was saved from the house. The fire ia supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Last Friday while the family were away from home the house was discovered to be on fire, but was extinguished before much dam? age was done, Mr. Martin having just come in from his work in the nick of time, to put it out. Some one had evi? dently entered the house, as Mr, Martin found ono of the back windows open, and the fire burning in a closet. Nut succeed? ing in this attempt, it is supposed the fiend made the second attempt last Mon? day morning and succeeded in bis pur? pose. The honse was a new and substan? tial one, and was insured for $500. This sura, however, will not near cover Mr. Martin's loss. riles! Fllofl!

Some weeks ago cards of invitation were sent out announcing the marriage of our popular young townsman, Mr. T. H. Brock, of the firm of D. A. &T. H. Brock, the leading merchants of the town, and the accomplished Miss Lizzie 6. Wing, formerly of Charleston, bat now of Honea Path. The day for the marriage dawned windy and rainy, and to all ap? pearances it seemed unfavorable, but before night the clouds bad passed away, but still the wind continued until near the appointed hour; then it looked like kind Providence favored us by causing the wind to lull. Long before the time for the ceremony, people could be seen winding their way from every direction towards the Baptist Church, where the marriage was to take place. By 7 o'clook every available seat in the large, commodious house was occupied. The house was beautifully decorated with evergreens and flowers. The pulpit, lamps and chandeliers were festooned with moss sent from Charleston. A large and very beautiful arch was erected, under which was the marriage bell, made of the most beautiful flowers and in finest taste. On either side of the bell were the large letters "B." and "W." Beautiful garlands extended across the house. The bouse was brilliantly lighted and presented a magnificent appearance. Shortly after 7 o'clock the pastor of the Church,. Rev. D. W. Hiott, was seen to enter, and, after giving some instructions, be took his seat in front of the pulpit. Soon the ushers, Messrs. J. B. Watkins, L. S. Bigby and W. 8. Brock were seen to enter. The organ pealed forth the wed? ding march in strains of sweetest music, the keys being deftly touched by the well trained fingers of the accomplished Miss Leora Harper. The attendants entered in the following order: Miss Mamie Martin, of Columbia, and Dr. W. W. Dodson, of Donnalds. . Miss Lillie Milford, of Honea Path, and Mr. G. F. Blgby, of Anderson. Miss Alice Lever, of Columbia, and Mr. W. A. Shirley, of Honea Path. Miss Sallie Wing, of Honea Path, and Mr. J. W. Brock, of Honea Path. Miss Ida Brock, of Honea Path, and Mr. L. A. Brook, of Honea Path. Then came the lovely bride leaning on the arm of the handsome groom. Then the organ ceased and everything was silent until the voice of the officiating minister was heard. He repeated a short but beautiful and impressive ceremony, and pronounced Mr. Thos. H. Brook and Miss Lizzie G. Wing husband and wife. The organ again played while the bridal party marched out Perhaps a description of the costumes would be interesting. _ The gentlemen were all dressed in black, with white cra? vats and tan colored gloves. The ladies were dressed as follows: The bride wore a handsome dress of cream moire and surah silk, elaborately trimmed with ohantilla lace and orange blossoms. Diamond ornaments. Miss Ida Brock, cream nun's veiling, surah, lace and ribbons. Garnet and rhine stone ornaments. Miss Lillie Milford, cream nun's veil? ing, surah, lace and ribbons. Turquoise ornaments. Miss Sallie Wing, cream nun's veiling, moire silk, lace and ribbons. Pearls and rhine stone ornaments. Miss Alice Lever, cream cashmere, surah, luce and ribbons. Turquoise orna? ments. Miss Mamie Martin, cream cashmere, moire and lace. Rhine stone ornaments. A number of invited guests went from the church to the house of the groom to attend the reception. Mr. Brock had fur? nished his house with everything that could be thought of to make it pleasant and comfortable. After looking through the rooms of the magnificently furnished house?"Home, Sweet Home"-of the bride and groom, gazing long and with interest at the many and costly presents, we were treated to one of the most tooth some feasts that it has ever been our priv? ilege to enjov. Shortly after 11 o'clock we bade them good night. The cake containing the ring was cut by,the attendants and the ring was found by Miss Ida Brock, and of course Miss Ida will be the next to step off. Uno Pbaeseute. Storevllle Items. Christmas is over and everybody is hard at work. Mr. Thompson Bowen is building a new dwelling below the Carswell Institute. If you have anything bigger than the Storeville Alliance, it's a whopper. A certain gentleman in this Township will soon be standing around tobed in a new suit of clothes. His less fortunate neighbors fear that he will not recognize them, or rather that they won't know him when this suit is finished. We learn from the Intelligencer that a young lady, upon having her fortune told by a Gypsy, learnod that her future husband is a widower, a red-headed and red-bearded gentleman, and that this gen? tleman is skilled in fish and grape culture. We will add that there is a gentleman at this place who fills the description to a letter, and she might do well to make herself known to him. It is a sweet thing to be an old man's darling. Although many negroes have gone West, our white citizens arc able to patron? ize their schools as liberally as ever, and are buying more mules, which shows that they are not yet hurt by emmigration, and that they are still determined to make greater efforts to become independent as a whole. Let the good work go on. We arc in favor of anything that tends to improve the condition of the masses, you may call it Alliance or what yon choose. Mr. E. P. McAdams, a worthy young gentleman of Carswell Institute commu? nity, is keeping "batch" at the old Zack Hall place, where he is carrying on an extensive farm interest. The young ladies are advised to investigate his mode of house-keeping, and if any young lady thinks she can better his condition, we guess she can have an opportunity of doing so at once. The following notes were handed to us by a friend: Tbe entertainment given by the young people of Storevillo, at Cars well Institute on Tuesday, the 8th inst, passed off soberly and did honor to the actors. The door was opened at C o'clock and by seven, tbe beginning of the pro? gramme, the house was well filled. The crowd was ostimatel at 150 or 200 persons. Those who entered early were happily entertained with some rare music on the organ and violin by Mr. Joe Gailey and Miss Carry Cray. Tbe performance of tbe programme was applauded often. Tbe songs wero sung well, and the "Funny Man" and the '"Noted American Jig Dance" brought forth great applause. The 3'oung men in the audience were wild with admiration for the charming young ladies who acted their part so well. The writer was found to be one of those most heavily smitten. So look out, young ladies, for your greatest pest as a visitor tho present year, and you mny learn the author of this sketch. We also learned that there were now more than fifty students in regular at? tendance at the school at the Institute. Prof. W. L. Brown will teach a class in plain, simple book-keeping, beginning on Saturday morning next. This will bo free to students of his school, and at Alli? ance price? to outsiders. The class will meet every Saturday morning, and will from time to time be lectured on the laws of business Rev. Mr. Fennel preached au able doc? trinal sermon at Vareonos Church Sun? day, 0th inst. The writer regrets that he could not attend the concert, but returns thanks to tbegood gentleman who furnished him with notes. Judd. Obituary. Mrs. Lizzie Bran von died at the residence of her husband. Mr. John Branyon, in Abbeville County, 8. C, after an illness of a few weeks, on Tuesday morning, Dec. 25, 1888, aged 26 years. She joined Mt. Bethel Baptist Church at an early age, and was a meek and faithful Christian. .There was an unobtrusive gentleness in her manner, and quiet cheerfulness in her Christian spirit, which instinctively drew all toward her. She was one of the purest and most devoted Christian women, esteemed and loved by all who knew her. A good wife, a tender, loving mother, her husband and children were bound to her by the strong? est lies of devotion, and now feel their great loss more keenly. After appropriate services the remains were laid to rest in Mt. Bethel cemetery to await the resur? rection, A husband and three little chil? dren and a host of friends and relatives are left to mourn her departure, but they "sorrow not even as others which have no hope." Our friend is missed, but we hope | to meet her again, where death and part? ing are no more. A FBIEND. ? It is a noticeable fact that in the recent train robberies in the West, South and elsewhere the thieves got very small returns for the risks they assumed. The reason for this is that bankers and others are now employing the mails for the transmission of large amounts of curren? cy, insured in some of the insurance companies, and as a consequence this class of busiuess bas been lost to the ex* press companies. Hence we shall here* after hear little of such depredations upon express cars, but we may look at any time for a raid upon the United States mail in quest of the treasures heretofore carried by the express jompa nies. ? It ha3 been customary for the clergy? men of Indianapolis to be requested to officiate in turn as chaplains at the open* ing of the daily session of the Indiana Legislature, and heretofore these re? quests have been favorably responded to. But at a meeting of the Indianapolis clergymen Monday it was tacitly agreed that unless the Legislature agree to pay ?5 a prayer the clergymen would refuse to officiate as usual. There were several little speeches on the subject, and it seemed to be (greed that if a prayer was nob worth $5 it was not worth anything. There is a general understanding among the ministers, it is said, that there shall be no rate-cutting. They think the Leg? islature ought to settle the matter by appointing a regular chaplain. HILL BROTHERS, DRUGGISTS. CONTRARY to custom, havon't a word to say this week to those who failed to pay them up. Some couldn't, and some wouldn't, and so we leave them to their consciences and the private methods we shall bring to bear on them. A man is, indeed, more to be pitied than despised who, notwithstanding the favorable cir? cumstances of the past year?fine crops and Very favorable seasons?raises the cry of '?couldn't pay out." All the same, we haven't gone anywhere. We are here to stay. Wo are a fixed fact. Unlike the Clemson College Bill, the Governor can't '?pigeon-hole" us, and when it comes to the Garden Seed business, or anything else in our line, we don't propose to be ruled out, We are handling Landreth's and Johnson, Bobbins & Co.'s Seed this year exclusively. We have tried all round, and find that we get better results and give better satisfaction from these Seed than any other. We have tbem in large quan? tities, and can furnish tbem either at wholesale or retail to country merchants who bandle Seed. We will make special rates and arrangements. We don't hope to do all the business, but we try to do as much as we can, and our effort is at all times to please and to satisfy those who favor us. We have lost many customers from one cause or another. Some left because they found they pre? ferred another house, others from misun? derstandings, and still others because they bad gotten into our debt and were ashamed to come around ; but in return -re have gained many more, whom we hope and shall endeavor to keep as long as we are in business. And so, wishing one and all a bright and prosperous New Year, we are HILL BROTHERS, ?rugrglsts. WILLIAMSTON, S. C.
