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.

A Brilliant "Wedding at Honea f'ath.
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.

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

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
