The date; of the Teachers' Association has been changed from the 16th inBt.'to the 23rd ins t.. so as not to conflict with the Quarterly ? Conference, whioh meets on the-: latter date. The teachers should note this, and govern themselves accord* ingly.. It is a fact that Anderson is to have an ice factory. It will be owned and oper? ated by the Anderson Oil Mill Company, and^work has already commenced on it This summer the company will. be pre? pared to supply this whole section of the State with ice. Men are Btrange oreatures. They will waste an hour hunting a collar button, instead of having an extra supply and letting their wife find the missing one. Ton never.see a woman look for a pin she drops. Her husband finds it when he . walks around in bis bare feet. An Anderson young lady was asked a few, evenings ago by a ourious gentleman for1 a recipe for making pound cake. She promptly responded that she always put in hers a dozen eggs, a pound of sugar, same of flour, some essence of lemon and a pint of whiskey. They are engaged. Valentine's day is approaching, and of course the averago "maaher" will have to send his sweet-heart .a valeutine. For instance the picture of some fiery old lady; a talking machine, or anything like that. Others more in earnest will send beautiful valentines, expressive of their love.' ?' ? ? Miss Maggie Williams; of Greenwood, who has been spending several , weeks in the city with relatives, returned'home last Monday. - Miss Maggie made many friends in Anderson, all pf whom regret? ted her departure. Several of our boys are already planning a trip, to Greenwood in the near future. Mr. D. W. McAllster, of New Bruns? wick; Canada, but more recently of Sen? eca City, has moved to Anderson and opened a barber-shop on Brick Range, over -Mr. S.-T. Craig's store. He comes highly recommended, and will give you a fine ebave for 10 cents. We'bespeak, for him a liberal patronage. % Eaaley Messenger; "Anderson is moving in the matter of a Female College. Our neighboring town .is progressive. A fine ?new hotel now being built, a cotton seed oil mill, ? cotton factory talked of, a fine Military Academy in successful operation, and a certainty that the college for young ladies will be opened this year." ,?? ? '" ' ' . '' ' 'The law card of J. W; Qaattlebaum, Esq^, appears:in this issue. Mr. Quattle baum had only been a citizen -of Anderson ?Short time, but by his pleasant manners and obliging disposition he is building up a fine practice and making new friends every day. Any: business entrusted to him will be promptly attended to. . Mr. C. Ward law, who is ^he Anderson correspondent of the News and Courier, will be glad to give any of his friends a sample copy of the Weekly News, for which be is now receiving subscriptions. The Weekly News is a model newspaper in every respect, and is rapidly increasing its list of readers in Anderson County. The firm of Cray ton, Jones & Seybt has been dissolved, Mr. T. S: Crayton Jr., re? tiring. The style of the new firm is Jones, Seybt & Co., who will continue the busi? ness at the old stand. We bespeak for the new firm a continuance of the liberal pa? tronage beatow.ed upon the old firm. See notice of dissolution in another column. The Spartanburg Herald, in speaking of an effort being made in that city to estab? lish an iron foundry, says : "Dr. Divverof Anderson has a machine shop with ma? chinery worth $5,000. He will remove bis whole plant here and put it into the company if we will raise;the $10,000. Over half that sunxhas already been subscrib? ed." Lucy, the 3year,old daughter of Mr. Warren J. Laboon, died at her borne in Brushy Creek Township on the 24th ult. of membranous croup. Mr. Laboon; with his family, had just returned from Dallas, Texas, where they had been living for several years. They have the sympathy of the community in their sad bereave? ment. Last Monday was Salesday, and a lively one it was, too. A large crowd came to the city, and the merchants did a fine business. The saloons, too, were liberally patronized, and by night the city guard? house was crowed to its utmost capacity. Tuesday morning Mayor Tribble collected about-forty dollars in fines from those who had been arrested. One of our young lawyers has recently fallen desperately in love, and his friends have noticed that it has made him very absent-minded. The other day he went to his office and seeing a notice which he himself had posted on the door, "Back at S o'clock," sat down to wait for himself. Friend Quattlebanm denies it, bat it can be proven on him. The Columbia correspondent of the Charleston World, of lost Saturday, says: "As semi-exclusively foreshadowed in the World to day, Capt. J. W. Daniels, of Anderson, began his duties as a clerk in the Comptroller's general department, and was Initiated into the mysteries of double entry book-keeping by the skillful chief clerk, Mr. Winthrop Williams. There has been no official announcement of Mr. Daniels's appointment. It is understood that the extreme ill-health of Mr. F. Broughton Barker precludes his retaining the position any longer. Iiis brother, Mr. Henry barker, arrived in the city- to-day and w41 carry him to his home on the Ashley to morrow." j THE NEW HOTEL A It will be a brick structure four stories high above - the basement, fronting 115 feet on tbe public square, and 109 feet on Main Street. . The first story is laid off in four hand? some store rooms, with tbe hotel office in the center, arranged in the most conven? ient manner adapted to hotel business, elevator, lavatory, bar, billiard and bar? ber, shop all closely connected with tbe office, which is large and well lighted. In front of the office is a large vestibule, covered with a massive two-story portico, which is entered from the lobby on the parlor floor. A. wide and handsome stair? way of oak leading from the office to the parlor floor and dining room. The exterior .will be pressed brick, trimmed with terra cotta, with a granite, belt. On the street corner is a round tur? ret, finishing up open portico at the roof line, giving an extended view of the city and surrounding country. The exterior finish and design is made in the latest and most attractive style of architecture, which will impress every one with an air of comfort and solidity. The dining room is designed with am? ple accommodations and splendid interior effect, paneled wainscotting, - paneled wood celling, leaving the wall space for fresco decoration. Lobby and halls on The Barn well' People, of last week, says:. "Capt. Ben Martin, chairman of the An? derson County Commissioners, says that all persons in that County subject to road duty shall work six days on the high? ways this year or pay the penalty. There will be lots of present complaining, but Capt. Martin will have an easy road to travel for re-election." Mr. John T. Maber, an artistic bouse and sign painter' is' in the city seeking work, which he proposes to do at reasona> < ble prices.. The McCormiok News says of him: "The people compliment Mr. John T. Malier for Iiis recent painting in the Metbodint Church. He is a firxt-class painter, anil deserves the support of the people. Ho will ieave for Anderson soon."

A certain young lady in Anderson County last fall made by her own efforts and without any assistance two bales of cotton, which has been sold, .and she is now using the pioceeds in paying her tuition at school. She is the daughter of on estimable citizen, who should be proud of such a daughter. She is a girl of grit, and would be a valuable T)rize for any deserving young man to capture. The Board of Pension Examiners will meet again on Monday, February 18th, and it will be their last .meeting, unless otherwise ordered by the State Board. So far the Board have had ninety-nine applicants, about three-fourths of whom are widows of deceased soldiers. Last year the pension roll numbered about one hundred and forty names, and the Board expect to have fully that many applicants under the new law. Mrs. Lydia Tims, relict of tbe late Mr. Jerry Tims, died at the residence of her daughter in Garvin Township, on the 17th of January, after a long illness, aged 78 years. Mrs.-Tims was a member of Big Creek Baptist Church, and was highly esteemed by her friends and relatives. Her remains were interred at Six and Twenty Church. She leaves one son and three daughters to mourn her death. A good woman has gone to rest. . The attention of our farmers is directed to the advertisement of the Durham Bull Ammoniated Fertilizer, which is sold in Anderson by McGee &Ligon. This fer? tilizer has given satisfaction to every farmer who has used it, and we would advise our farmers to give it a trial. It is sold at. a low price, and McGee & Ligon will take pleasure in giving yon any in? formation, in- reference to it. Call on them before making your purchase. Leap year is over, and there are several eligible young gentlemen who remain un? called for. There seems to be no cure for them but to be marked down and set aside for 1892. But our young bachelor ? friend, John M. Hub bard, says he Is not going to wait that long, and that the first j girl who comes along and gives him the 'least encouragement he will make a pro? posal. Now, girlB, don't all of yon go in to see his now stock of ringe at one time.

Mrs. Sarah Kelley died at her h?rne, two miles north of Belton, on the 12th of January, and on the following day her remains were laid to rest in the family .buryjing ground, in the presence of a large I crowd of friends and relatives.

She was afflicted with that terri? ble disease, cancer of .the heart, but she bore her sufferings with Christian resigna? tion and patience. ' Our courteous and genial young friend, John T. Stall, representing Westmoreland Bros.,-wholesale druggists, of Greenville, S. C, spent Snnday and Monday In tbe city, and while here paid bis respects to the Intelligencer. Mr. Stall is one of Greenville's most excellent and energetic young men, and has a host of friends in Anderson among both sexos. He seems to be partial to Anderson, or at least to some of her fair daughtors, and will no doubt visit us more frcquentlv in the future. He is making a suqcessful drum? mer, for be not only can turn down a Georgia drummer but also a Georgia rival. I iT ANDERSON, S. 0. parlor floor are large and airy with ample light.

It Is with pleasure that we note tbe fact that tbe Board of Stewards of tbe Green? ville District Conference, M. E. Church, South, has decided to locate the District Parsonage for the Presiding Elder in this City. The following committee has been appointed to take charge of the matter: Rev. J. Walter Dicks?n, P. E , Chairman, Messrs. R. S. Hill and C. F. Jones, of AndoraOi . A H Cureton, of Greenville, and M, K. oitton, of Greenville. A lot will bo purchased at tin early day, and it is hoped to have the parsonage, which will be a commodious, substantial building, completed by next fall. The union services were held in the Presbyterian Church' last Sunday night, and the Church was crowded to its-utmost seating capacity. Dr. Frierson conducted the service, and preached a moat able and interesting sermon. We think it would be a good idea for the pastors to have a union service every Sunday night, taking time about in tbe various Churches. The attendance, we believe, would be larger, and more good would be accomplished. It is a real pleasure to note with what unity and harmony our churches are working together, and we hope it may continue for years to come. Miss Maud- Norris, eldest daughter of onr former citizen, Mr. A. O. Norris, died at Graham, Texas, last Thursday night, January 31st, after an illness of several weeks. Mr. Norris, with his family, left Anderson about two months ago for Texas, and on the way there Miss Maud took sick. Shortly after arriving at her new homo, she was stricken down and her sickness developed into typhoid fever, which caused her death. She was about sixteen years of ago, and a bright, amia? ble young lady, who was loved and admired by every acquaintance for her many beautiful traits of character and sweet, gentle disposition. Her friends and relatives in Anderson County will read this announcement of her death with sorrowful hearts, for she was a favorite with them all. She has gone from this earth, but her loved ones are consoled with the thought she has entered Into a brighter world above. The grief-stricken family will have many sympathizers in their bereavement. Mr. L. W. Gentry met with a sevore ac? cident on Main street Tuesday evening about 6 o'clock. He was driving a mute to a wagon, and when near Mr. D. 8. Max? well's residence, tbe-mule became fright? ened and ran away. Mr. Gentry attemp? ted to jump out of the wagon and was thrown to tbe ground with such force that he was knocked senseless. The small? er bones of tbe left ankle wero broken, and be received a severe contusion on one side of his face and head, producing con? cussion of the,brain. Several persons were on tbe street at tbe time of the acci? dent, and when they reached Mr. Gentry's side he was apparently dead. Drs. Duck? et and Sbarpe soon arrived on the spot, and in ton minutes Mr. Gentry regained partial consciousness, He was carried into Mr, Maxwell's* house and received every atteniion possible. He spent the night there, and rested t?lerably well after one o'clock. Wednesday morning Mr, Gentry was slightly.improved, and it thought he would be able to be removed to his ho'-ie ?Isrln?; tho day. Jt is* to be hoped thai the accident will not prove serious. ' ? The Spartanburg correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier, under date of January 31st, says: "Information is wanted about the Koown family, who may be in this State. If any of them or their descendants are readers of the News and Courier, they arc requested to write to L. C. Keown, Edwardsv'ille, Illinois. He is getting up the genealogy and history of the family. It is confidently believed that every person in the United States whose name Is spelled Keown is a lineal descen? dant of the ''Scottish colonist" hereinafter mentioned; and moreover that many, if not all, of those who spell their names either Keown, McKeown, McKeoun, or McKown, are descendants of the same person. In regard to the origin of the name, let it satisfy to say that it belonged to the father of Thomas and James Alex? ander Keown, a Scottish colonist, who lived in County Down, province of Ulster, Ireland. Thomas and James A. Keown were brought up and educated in Ireland. Thomas married Polly Colwell, and James A. married Peggy-. About tho year 1770 they took shipping at Belfast and emigrated to America, landing In ? Charleston, South Carolina, where one of thorn bought a .small tract of land on or near King street, which land ho^n'^r sold, and after a short stay thero they re; moved to Abbeville district in this State, GO" 3 M fi O I?I h?< erf CD fcr< ?

Nearly all their children were born in said district, and some of them were married there. The children of Thomas were ten sons and fonr daughters, and of James A. fonr sons and one daughter. Nancy Keown married James Edmonson about 1790. Thomas and Andrew Keown were her brothers, and a few years younger than she. They all lived in Abbeville district, South Carolina, about that time, and have not been heard from since. The hot supper given by the ladies of the Methodist Church at Temperance Hall on last Friday evening, was a grand success in every particular. The supper was all that could have been desired by the most fastidious epicurean, while the fair waitresses would have charmed the moat confirmed bachelor that ever trod this terrestrial ball. A rather unique feature of the occasion was tbe maslc furnished by Mrs. Ayer and some .of our musical young men, all of which was enjoyed im? mensely by the large crowd that thronged the Hall. Mr. Comstock rendered a very humorous recitation, much to tho delight of his hearers, and Mr. Paul Gadsden's recitation, "The Legend of Saint George," was splendidly rendered, and well re? ceived by the audience. The programme was closed with an auction sale of the remnants, Mr. Comstock acting as auc? tioneer, in which capacity he proved him? self quite proficient, having succeeded in "knocking down*' articles to parties who had never bid for them, bat who paid for them any way, as they were put on them by the shrewd vendor. The proceeds of the sapper were about seventy-five dol? lars, which will be utilized in famishing the Pastor's study. Honea Path Items. Honea Path can boast of the best eohoo< in the up-country.

Ho is assisted by Mr. W. B. Earle and Miss Myrtie Culbertson. We are looking for Miss Dargan,.from Greenville, in a few weeks. She will take charge of the primary department. A prominent citizen of Abbeville County, said to us tbe other day that we ought to have a College here, and some of our people think so too. Tell Mr. Russell that If be wants to see a good school to come down. Our Churches are doing well. Tbe Baptist Chdrch presents a beautiful ap? pearance since it has been remodeled. The M. E. Church has just been ceiled and painted inside, and Is very attractive. The Presbyterians have a neat house of worship. We have prayer meetings twice a week, and two Sunday Schools in good condition. Dr. T.? A. Hudgens looks over one, and M. B; Daalap the other. Dr. R. F. Dlvyer, of your olty, M. W. G.

J. Shirley, Treas.; M. N. A. Shirley, Sec. We speak for the Lodge success. Miss Eliza McGee has enlivened oar town by her presence for a few days. Miss McGee is one of Abbevllle's fairest daughters. Come.again, Miss Eliza. One of our young bachelors is boarding now, and some of us think that he may go to house-keeping right before a great while.

Mr. Rogers has been called to and accepted the pastorate care of Rocky Biver Church for the present year. Last Sabbath being a pretty day, all. the churches were largely attended; Several accessions are reported to have been made to the Storevtlle Alliance at their last meeting. Judging from the regularity with which some young men visit this place, and other unmistakable evidences, which constantly confront us, this place is fully up with the times in the line of pretty girls. Oar young people are looking forward to the 14th of February with much anxiety. Several parties and perhaps valentine drawings are expected to be enjoyed at that time. Extract from a letter dropped by a travelller : "Dear Ben?I seat myself, take my pen in hand to rite you a fiew lines to let you kno that we are al wel cepin the yard dog tige, is dead, and we all hone that this letter will fin you enjoyin the same," etc. The following was told in our hearing of a non-resideqt of Anderson County.

Judd. Kot Well Posted. Mb. Editor I Recently there appeared in the Holland's Store Items a notice to the effect that the Farmers' Alliance at Sbiloh had kicked Itself out of existence. There never was an Alliance organized at Shiloh. The Savannah Alliance met there a few times, but your correspondent, Mr. "Burke," kipked against it and we quit meeting there and we moved back to Roukarnah. The Savannah Alliance was organized at Holland's Store with a full sot of officers, and the meetings have been well attended. We have added twenty four.members to our roll since we organ? ized, and are now in a flourishing condi? tion. We do hope that Mr. "Burke" will let our business alone. I was elected by the Alliance to furnish all notices to the papers that we want published. I do not wiite this as a reply to Mr. "Burke," but simply to let tbe people know that he was misunderstood.
