A rich treat is In store for those ^who;attend. Don't forget the time, and *J?!rose togoonti CbttoQ Mill enterprise are being pushed, and much encouragement is being received by the Directors. The few stockholders who have not yet paid their first enstall-j ment should do so at once. Miss May Russell, who is teaching school at Calhoun, in this County, spent < Saturday and Sunday in - the~ city with her parents. She was accompanied by Miss Kate Cox, one of the most popular young ladles of that section. ; Hartwell Sun: "Mr. J. R. Dalrymple, ?f Anderson; County, S. C, has purchased a farm a mile and a half northeast of j Hartwell and will become a citizen of our County. Although a one-armed Confed-; erate, he is a successful planter." ^?Mr. Lewis Gentry; who sustaiued pain? ful injuries by his mule running away on Main street a few weeks ago, was able to come to the city last Monday. He has to use crushes, but be is slowly, improving. His friends were delighted to see him. T~;Mr. J. E. Moorhead, formerly of this County, but who for several years past has been employed as an attendant at the State Lunatic Asylum in Columbia, has resigned from that position and accepted ar position on the Columbia police force. fi'JrVe had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Newt.

Mr. Bolt will give the oats every attention, and this summer he will report to us bis success. ?^McCormick News: ''Anderson, S. C, is to have a new bank, an ice factory, a cot? ton: factory, and a new hotel. The Intel? ligences is booming a female college for that town, and from present Indications is likely to get it. The Intelligences is the best County paper , in the State, with the exception of the News." Rev. J. M. Lander, of the Williamston Female College, has been offered the Presidencypf the Davenport Female Col? lege at Lenolr, N. 0. While we would regret to see Mr. Lander leave Anderson . County, we will say that Davenport Col? lege could hot secure a more efficient or accomplished gentleman as Its head. Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co., of New'York, have sent us a picture of the Universal Exhibition in Paris, 1889, showing among other things the cele? brated Eiffel Tower, one of the most re? markable structures ever erected, it being 1000 feet in height.. The picture is a col? ored lithograph, and shows the entire city of Paris'. _ Our young townsman, John M. McCoa nell, Is now a full-fledged M. D., having graduated from the South Carolina Medi- . cal College In Charleston last. week. He has returned home, but has not yet decid- - ed where he will locate. The Intelli? gencer extends ita congratulations to the Doctor, and wishes him a long and suc? cessful career. . - We have before us the first number of ."The South Atlantic," a very neat and interesting magazine wbioh has just made its appearance in Greenville. It. contains 24 pages, and Is devoted to describing and illustrating the resources*, and attractions of the Piedmont section. It Ib published by Daley <fc Killingsworth at the low price of $1.00 a year. Since our last report the following per? sons have made contributions to. the An? derson Library Association : Mrs. J. W.

Irby, Mrs. Fannie Keaton, James H. Lance, Goodfrey Mills,. Mrs. Lola Mitchell, Mr. Palladum, Miss Rosa Penrow, Nob. Richardson, Will Edwards, O. W. Ward, H. J. Welds, Theo. E. Warnamaker, Our good old friend, Mr. Wm. Rlley, returned home last week from Florida, where he has been spending a month or j more visiting his sons. During his Btay down there he visited St. Augustine, Ocala, Jacksonville and other cities, and says he enjoyed his trip very much. He speaks very favorably of Florida, and Bays Iiis sons are enjoying good health and doing well. The Yorkyille Enquirer came to us in an eight-page form, four pages of which were devoted to a description of Yorkville, together with portraits of a number of its leading business men and several of its beautiful residences and other buildings. It was a considerable display of enter? prise on the part of the Enquirer, which is no doubt appreciated by the business men of that growing town. Messrs. C S. Minor and R. L. Hollo way, of Milledgevllle, Ga., have come to Anderson to locate, and will in, a few* days open business in the Broyles build? ing, on South Main street. The style of the firm will be C. S. Minor & Co., and their stock will consist of fancy and light goods of a great variety. They are both young gentlemen of fine appearance, and we extend them a cordial welcome to our city. Our young friend, R. L. Dugan, who is now merchandizing and farming at Toney Creek, on the Eastern side of the County, called to see us Tuesday. Anderson Coun? ty has few more excellent or clever young men than Mr. Dugan. He has recently took unto himself a wife, and, having gone to housekeeping, of course had to come and subscribe for the Intelligences, which no well-regulated household can do without. Salesday attracted an unusually large crowd to the city, perhaps as large a crowd as has ever been seen in the city. The order throughout the day was very good, and the police made only a few arrests. The merchants did a good busi? ness, as well as the dealers in horses and mules. Late in the afternoon a patent medicine man made his appearance on the Square, and, after throwing a few dimes and quarters among the crowd, over which there was much scrambling, sucoeeded in duping a good portion of them to the extent of one or two hundred dollars. ? -_? ? The old-fashioned itch is raging in some sections of the County; One of our sub? scribers, who has had this disease, says if those who are afflicted with it will use gunpowder and lardt mixed together, he will guarantee a speedy cure. He says to dampen the powder, then thoroughly mix it with lard and rub it over the diseased parts, and then, after several applications, take a good bath, This 1b a simple rem? edy, and those who are afflicted should try it. The members of St. Paul's Baptist Church (oolored) of this city are making an effort to build a parsonage for their pastor, Rev, J. W. Scott, who has been soliciting subscriptions for that purpose for several days past.. Their white friends hav^e contributed liberally to the enter prize, which is a worthy one, and the congregation hope to be able to begin work on the building at an early day. Any contributions given to the pastor will be thankfully received. Judge W. P. Cox and Mr. Sam'l C. Ba? ker visited Greenville last Friday on very important business,. Mr. Baker returned home on the first train Saturday morning, but the Judge did not reach here until Monday morning. From the broad smile that has adorned the Judge's lovely countenance since his return, and from the fact that he has given an order for a "dyke" coat, with pants and vest to match, his friends believe that he will surely cease being an old bachelor at an early day. Yon will see in another column a few lines from the progressive firm of E. W. Brown <ft Sons. This firm has already gained a reputation for selling goods cheap. One day last week a gentleman from Mt. Carmel, who had been doing his trading In Augusta since the completion of the S. V. B. R., came to Anderson. He soon found it was to bis interest to buy his goods in Anderson, consequently he , purchased a large bill from E. W. Brown &Sons, and went home feeling that the merchants of Anderson are Belling goods right square down for the cash. The season of Lent began yesterday, (Ash Wednesday). During the season the following will be the order of services in Grace (Episcopal) Church: Divine service by the Rector or Lay reader every Sun? day at Hi o'clock a. m., and in the after? noons on the first and third Sundays at 4 o'clock; Monday nights at 8 o'clock; Wednesday afternoons at 4 o'clock; Fri? day at 10 o'clock a. m., Litany. The offerings on Easter. Sunday will be for the Theological Department of the Uni? versity of the South. The Reotor, Rev. Mr. Gadsden, extends ? cordial invitation to the friends of his congregation to at? tend, these services. ? prominent farmer of the Connty made a suggestion in our presence last Monday worthy of the attention of our city fathers. He said that on public days in Anderson he had noticed that there was not a sufficient number of] racks on our streets to accommodate, the horses of our friends from 'the County, and suggested that a few more racks ought to be erected, and that the Council shonld establish a wagon yard for the convenience of those who come to our market from a distance and are compelled to spend a night in our midst. We hope the Council will look into this matter, and see what can be done in reference to it. The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier, under date of the 4th inst., says: "Gov. Richardson has par? doned Laura Moore, who was convicted at the October, 1884, term of Court for An? derson County, of burglary, and sentenced by Judge Aid rich to life imprisonment in the Penitentiary. Her case was appealed and went up to the Supreme Court.' The legal fight over it lasted about two years, which she spent in jail. She has been in the Penitentiary since the summer of1887. An the punishment for burglary has since been reduced, and her crime was not an extraordinary one, the Solicitor (Col. Orr) who prosecuted her and the Judge who sentenced her endorsed the application for her pardon. Last Thursday morning Easter Warden, a young colored woman, who resided in the southeastern suburbs of the city, was found dead in her room. The house in which she lived was a two-story building, and was occupied by two or three fami? lies. About 9 o'clock Thursday morning one of the occupants of the house, a negro woman, heard a noise, like some one fall? ing in Easter's room, and, upon going to the door, found it locked or bolted. She called Easter, and getting no response, broke the door open, when she found her on the floor dead. A messenger was at once sent to Coroner Nance, who, together with Dr. Frierson, went to the house. When tbey arrived there the dead woman was warm. Dr. Frierson examined her and found that her neck was broken. There were no bruises or marks of vio? lence on her person. Coroner Nance sum? moned ix Jury* and held an inquest. The Jury, after hearing all the evidence possi? ble, rendered a verdict that the woman "Came to her death by having her neck broken by causes unknown" to them. The woman was apparently strong and healthy, and had not complained of being sick. How she broke her neck is a mys? tery, and will probably ever remain so. The debate at the -Patrick Military In? stitute on last Friday evening was quite interesting. The question for discussion was as follows: Resolved, "That Hope is a greater incentive to action than Fear." After the preliminary exercises, in which Cadet Talbert, of Edgefield, presided, the Bubject of debate was announced by the President, and Cadet Percy Sbarpe opened ?the debate in a very well put speech, in which the affirmative of the above question was championed. Cadet George Miller then made a very good speech on the negative side of the question, in which he indulged in some rather sharp criti? cisms of his antagonists. Cadet Gray, of Newberry, closed the affirmative side of the debate in a very carefully prepared speech, and Cadet Lowrance, of Columbia, closed for the negative. The speeches were all creditable, especially in view of j I the very short time which the Cadets had for preparation. The speakers quoted very freely from history, indicating a familiarity with both ancient and modern history, that reflects the careful training they are undergoing at the hands of the officers of this very fine Institution. Quite a number of ladies and gentlemen were present, from the city. Music was furnished for tho occasion .by the Trow bridge boys. The Weather Signals. The Signal Service uses four flags to in? dicate the weather?white, blue, black tri? angular, and white with black square in centre. The white flag indicates fair weather; stationary temperature. The blue Hag alone indicates rain or snow; stationary temperature. Tho white flag, with the pointed black flag below it, indicates fair weather; colder. The blue flag, with the black triangular flag above it, indicates rain or snow; warmer. The white flag, with the blaokcentered white flag below it, indicates fair weather; cold wave. The black triangular flog, with the white flag und tho blue flag below it indi? cates warmer, fair weather, followed by rain or snow. Attention, filerc&ant&t_ I have Duke's Cigarettes at $3.00 a thou? sand, delivered in Anderson. Address . D, M. Hoke, Greenville, S. 0. Anderson's New Bank. Wednesday morning a meeting of the .stockholders of the Merchants' and Far* mers' Bank was held in the Court House for the purpose of organizing and electing a Board of Directors. Gr. E. Prince, Esq., was called to the Chair, and Mr. J. D. Maxwell requested to act as Secretary. On behalf of the corporators, Gen. Humphreys made a report, whioh was adopted. ? The roll of stockholders was called and a majority of the stock found to be rep? resented. A Constitution and By-Laws was adopted, after which an election for Directors was held, and the following gentlemen declared elected: S. M. Orr, R. S. Hill, C. F. Jones, W G. Watson, J. E. Peoples, W. F. Cox, W. W. Humphreys, T. W. Martin, F. G. Brown. ? Honea Path Items. Miss Emma Meredith has been- spend? ing several days in town. Miss Emma is quite a favorite with our people, and we are glad to have her visit us. Miss Lizzie Brock, one of our charming young ladies, is teaching school at Long Branch this year. Long Branch seems to be a very fortunate or unfortunate place for school-marms. Miss Annie Emmer son taught there awhile, and along came Mr. Geer and away she went. Then Miss Luna Greer became teacher, and Mr. Mar? tin made a proposition which she accepted, and over to Georgia they went. Now Miss Lizzie has charge of the school and ?but I must wait awhile before I can finish this story. Mr.rand Mrs. C. B. MoCown, from the Mountain Creek neighborhood, attended preaching at Barker's Creek last Sunday. Their friends were delighted to see them, and hope they will come often. Miss Anna L. Dargan, of - Greenville, came down last Saturday, and is now in? stalled as assistant teacher in our school. On behalf of our citizens we extend her a most cordial welcome. The Barker's Creek Alliance is on a boom. They received nineteen members at their last meeting. Hurrah for the far? mers. The celebrated Indian, Doctor Floyd Stafford, was in town this week. We would like for the County Commis? sioners to come down and see about the roads in this section. They are just awful. Married, at the residence of Mr. N. A. Haynes, on 28th ult, Mr. Harvey Kay and Miss Mollie Hodge, all of Abbeville County, Rev. W. R. Burts officiating. Mr. W. A. Davis wears the broadest smile of any man about town?it's a boy ?except Mr. M. B. Dunlap?his is a girl. The farmers rejoice to see a few days of | dry weather, so that they can plough a little. It's feared that the recent freezes will prove fatal to the Spring oat crop. ? The next Quarterly Conference of the M. E. Church will meet here on the 16th inst. Messenger. Storovlllo Items. Everything is on a boom here. We have already reported several new build? ings and other improvements that are being -made, and to this list we must add that Yarennea Church, which not long since was repaired, is now furnished with one of the nicest and best Chapel Organs we have Been. With this to aid the splen? did choir, the music at this Church will be something rare. The organ was bought from the Anderson Music House. Miss Dessie Stephens, one of Anderson's fairest specimens of female excellency, has been visiting friends at this place. The students of the school at Carswell Institute are preparing to give an enter? tainment on Saturday night, 16th Inst., to desk the room and to make other im? provements. Miss Ella McAdams has been visiting friends in the city of Anderson recently. A small band of hunters killed forty six rabbits in one day during the snow. A gentleman, who had succeeded in get? ting credit again, was heard to sing as he happily journeyed homeward with his first load of corn, bacon, flour, etc., the following hymn, Viz: "Lord revive us, Lord revive us, All our help must come from thee." We expect that the same individ? ual when settling day comes will change his tune to something like the following: "Show pity Lord, Oh Lord forgive Let a poor repenting rebel live." Two of our young gentlemen got per? mission from their parents to make a trip by themselves to a remote city. In order to show off as big as possible with what small change they bad, they decided to hire a turnout and take in the city. They wandered into a harness shop, thinking it was a livery atable. However, they found a very fine horse here ready hitched. It was a fine turnout, and, after Jewing, Jwe know not how long, they ilred it for an hour. One of them was unfolding the lines preparatory to start? ing, when the other discovered that the hands were sniggling in their sleeves. It was a wax horse. The boys learning the Ioke, decided to take a drink of lager beer lefore starting, and were not seen any more in that part of the city. Judd. Centervllle Items. March is now here, and corn planting will soon be at band. The school at Deep Creek Grange Hall is in charge of Miss Jennie Erwin. The Strons of the school are well pleased with 183 Jennie, for she is a fine teacher. A young lady remarked in our pres? ence not long since that Bhe knew a young man, who lives not very far from her home, who did not have brass enough to propose to a girl. Centerville Mills are among the best in the County, and are doing a fine business. These mills have made an average of 9,896 bushels of grain a year for the past four years. J. M. F.

Ready to serve God, and be helpful to all around her, she ex? celled most in the passive virtues. "As a star fixed in the firmament of home" she shone with a mild and gentle light. Loving ail, and beloved by all the children and the very servants in the household, her's was the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, and the peace of God was reflected upon her countenance. In the light of her example we understand better those beati? tudes of our Saviour: "Blessed are the poor in spirit; blessed are the meek; bless? ed arc the pure in heart, for they shall see God;- blessed are the peace-makers, for they shall be called the children of God." For her, "Death had lost its painful sting," and having finished her work, she was just waiting and longing for the Master's call to ' rest. The Saviour will say to her, "She hath done what she could." Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." It is not death to die, To leave this weary road, And midst the brotherhood on high, To bo at home with God. T. F. G. Died, Feb. 23, 1889, at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. T. B. Simmons, Mr. Franklin Brice, formerly of Fork Town? ship, Anderson County, but late of Gray son Co., Texas. Mr, Brice web well known as a faithful member of the M. E. Church. He was long a member at Provi? dence and then at Smith's Chapel in the Fork. He was always faithful, and alwayB ready to work for the Master. His life was\ full of good works, and his 3ge was ripe. At the time of his death he was in his 74th year. His wife died a few years ago, but lie leaves some sorrowing children and friends, but not as those that have no hope. J. S. S. O. and O.
