This is the time of year to clean up the
city. All lots should be carefully inspect?
ed, and all filth should be removed at
least once a week. If properly owners will
not do it, the city authorities should have
it done and the neglient parties be made
to pay the expense. Our city has a fine
reputation as a health resort, and the only
way to maintain this reputation is to keep
everything scrupulously clean.
We bad a pleasant call last Friday from
Dr. J. M. Westmoreland, of Greenville,
who was in the city supplying our drug?
gists with a stock of "Westmoreland's

We would direct attention" to the adver?
tisement of the Excelsior State Coating,

physician. He has not decided where he
will locate.

about $60 worth of clothing. Jones came

tall, ginger-cake colored negro, with a scar
over his right eye an extending down on
the cheek. Any information concerning
his whereabouts will be gladly received

The County Commissioners have order

Mosler, Bowen & Co., of New York. We
learn that it will be a large one, capable of
holding all the records of the Clerk's Of?
fice. The well known reputation of the
Mosler safe in Anderson and elsewhere
gives every guarantee of absolute security
against fire, and we learn that the price
and terms are very advantageous to the
tax payers, and reflect credit upon the

much careful consideration. The sale was
perfected through Mr. W. G. Black, the
courteous representative of the Mosler
Safe Company.

The firmen turned out promptly, and
succeeded in' saving the outbuildings.

A VISIT TO THE COUNrKV.
riie Entertainment at the Carswell Insti?
tute, and other Notes of oar Trip.
The best recreation that a tired, worn
jut newspaper man can take is a trip into
;he country. We have tried it, and:know
whereof we. speak. Having" received
several pressing invitations to attend the
entertainment given by the students of
the Carswell Institute last Saturday even?
ing, and knowing that it would be an
enjoyable occasion, we left the city late
3aturday afternoon in company with a
manning companion and drove down to
the Institute, which, as is well known, Is
located near Storeville, about twelve
miles south of the city.
As we drove along the Lowndesville
road, we were gratified to see so many
improvements being made on the farms.
3n nearly every farm we could see new
barns, new stables and now houses for
tenants going up, and we noticed several
?ew and substantial residences. Among
the latter the new residence of Mr. Geo. L.
3hrimp, who lives about eight miles
from the oity, is perhaps the most mod?
ern and attractive we saw. It sets back
some distance from the road, in a pretty
grove. The house is finished in pretty
style, and would show off well in a city.
Mr. Shrimp is one of oar best farmers,
and everything around his beautiful home
indicates his prosperity.
We reached the Institute about dark,
and met with a cordial reception from
Prof.. W. L. Brown, the courteous and
efficient Principal of the school, who es?
corted us into the hall and provided us
with a comfortable seat. The crowd was
gathering rapidly, and in a short time the
ball was filled with an appreciative audi?
ence. The bright, cheerful countenances
of the boys and girls showed plainly that
they had looked forward to the occasion
with the most pleasant anticipations, and
they were delighted to seo that so many
of the patrons and friends of the school
had turned out to witness the entertain?
ment.
The evening's programme opened with
a song by the Miller Cousins, who had
kindly offered to-assist Prof. Brown in
the entertainment, and who added con?
siderable to it.
The following programme was then
rendered:
Comic speech by Bro. Gardiner, who
was represented by Mr. Jas. Brown.
A Temperance play?"Hard Cider,',' in
which the characters were represented by
Misses Lidie Walters and Zella Ferguson
and Messrs. Louis Elgin, Jas. Hall, Pierce
Brown and E. McAdams.
Music?vocal and instrumental?by the
Miller Cousins.
Reoitation?''Nebuchadnezzar," by Mr.
E. McAdams.
Play?"Bootblack," the characters be?
ing sustained by Prof. Brown and Mr.
Ellison McAdams, the latter representing
a negro.
Play?"The Trial Justice." In this
there were three characters, which were
sustained by Lyman McPhail, Floyd
Bowen and Miss Nellie Walters. This
was an original play, gotten up by Prof.
Brown, and was one of the best of the
evening.
Music, instrumental, by the Miller
Cousins.
Play?"Bad Job." Six characters, rep?
resented by Misses Nellie Walters and
Eva Strickland and Messrs. Ben. Lowe,
Prue Clinkscales and Jas. Brown.
Song, "The Philadelphia Girl," by the
Miller Cousins.
Play?"Uncle Joe's Cotton." Two
characters, represented by Prof. Brown
and Lewis Elgin, the latter as a negro.
Song?"Ride on the Evening Train,"
by the Miller Cousins.
An Ethopian Play, in which there wore
four characters, represented by Messrs.
Lewis Elgin, Lyman McPhail, Ellison
McAdams und Jaa. Brown.
Music, iostrumental, by the Miller
Cousins.
Ethiopian Play?"Squash dat Tater."
The characters were sustained by Messrs.
Ben. Strickland, Lyman McPhail and
Jas. Brown.
The programme concluded with a clog
dance by the Miller boys.
The programme throughout was amus?
ing and entertaining, and all who partic?
ipated sustained their parts exceedingly
well. The audience was delighted with
the entertainment, and Prof. Brown re?
ceived many congratulations for the suc?
cessful manner in which he had managed
it. The proceeds of the entertainment
will be used in supplying the school room
with furniture.
Prof. Brown is building up a fine
school at the Institute, his roll now num?
bering over seventy-five pupils, and we are
glad to know that the people of that Sec?
tion have decided to keep him employed
throughout the year.
Leaving the Institute,' at the conclusion
of the entertainment, we went to the hos?
pitable homo of Mr. E. B. Norrie, who
resides near First Creek, where we spent
the night and the greater portion of San
day. Mr.. Norris has a most beautiful
home, and he and his happy family know
know how to make one's stay under their
roof pleasant. His residence is situated
on a hill, and affords a fine view of the sur?
rounding country. He has a fine planta?
tion, and is a successful farmer. A stroll
over his farm is worth a trip down there.
On the hill-sides leading from First Creek
one can see some of the grandest scenery
to be found this side of the mountains.
Indeed, the hills, which are covered with
fine timber, with large rocks projecting
here and there, look like mountains.
On Sunday we had the pleasure of
attending the Sunday School at First
Creek Church. The Bchool is in a flour?
ishing condition, having nearly one hun?
dred names on -its roll, and is superin?
tended by that clever Christian gentleman,
Mr. T. L. Clinkscales, who is devoted to
his work. Regular services are held at
the Church only once a month?the
fourth Sundays?but the school meets
regularly every Sunday, and usually a
prayer meeting is held after the school is
dismissed.
As we came up the Abbeville road Sun?
day afternoon, on our way home, we
noticed improvements being made on
nearly every farm. Several new dwell?
ing houses have been erected along the
road since we last travelled it.
Our trip was such a pleasant one and
we were treated so well, that we will cer?
tainly take advantage of the first opportu?
nity to visit that section again.
Andersonville.
The Hartwell (Qa.) Sun, of last week,
says:
"Hon. E. P Earle, of Andersonville, S.
C, paid our office a pleasant call on Satur?
day. He informed us that a government
surveying party came up the Savannah
recently, and expressed themselves as
delighted and surprised at the picturesque
scenery around Andersonville.
"Mr. Earle is deeply interested in the
proposed exploration of the Savannah
river by Mr. H. W. Grady, of the Atlanta
Constitution, and other distinguished gen?
tlemen, and says if the party would begin
at the confluence of the Tugalo and Seneca
rivers at Andersonville, that the people of
the eity and County of Anderson would
meet them cordially, and do everything in
their power to make the exploration prof?
itable and pleasant. Mr. Earle is the pro?
prietor of Andersonville, and his resi?
dence, perched upon a prominent emi?
nence immediately in the fork of the
rivers, suggests to the mind some grand
old feudal castle, lacking but the frowning
walls and parapets.
"The. advertising of the untold advan?
tages and resources of Hart, Anderson and
Elbert Counties along the Savannah,
would by no means be disadvantageous
to Elberton; father to the contrary, as
that progressive city aspires to be the me?
tropolis of this section; and whatever
tends to improve or develop the surround?
ing territory would certainly conspire to
the more speedy attainment of her lauda?
ble ambition.
"What a magnificent place Anderson?
ville would be for a grand inter-State bar
becue and picnic!"

DaveAgmen, (colored) living near here,
knocked his wife in the head with a rock,
inflicting a painful wound.
A little negro child on Mr. J. R. Clem?
ent's place was fearfully burned last week.
Miss Carrie, daughter of Mr. Clement,
while patting out the fire was badly
burned.
Barker's Creek community mourns the
loss of a good citizen, Mr. John Shirley,
who died at his home on Thursday night,
March 14th, after a long and painful ill?
ness from cancer. His remains were
interred in the graveyard at Barker's
Creek Chnrch, on Friday afternoon. The
funeral sermon was preached by his pas?
tor, Rev. D. W. Hiott. Revs. R. D. Haw?
kins and M. McGee made some remarks
at the close of the sermon. The writer
has known Mr. Shirley for years, and has
never heard a word said against his Chris?
tian charaoter. Surely a good man has
left us. ?
The Chnrch at Barker's Creek received
one member by experience last Sunday.
Our town was fortunate in having the
Quarterly Meeting held here. The Pre?
siding Elder of the Cokesbury District,
Rov. A. J. Cauthen, preached several in?
teresting and helpful sermons. Rev. Mr.
Dagnall looked like he felt good when
they paid him his quarterage?Mr. Dag?
nall is pastor in charge. I imagine that a
preacher can preach better when his peo?
ple appreciate his services enough to pay
him for his work as he does the work.
Rev. Mr. Craig, of Ninety-Six, preached
for the Presbyterians Sunday and Sunday
night. He thinks out his sermons well.
Our young friend, Mr. T. R. Finley,
has been quite sick, but is out again.
One of our bachelors joined the Alliance
the other day. Perhaps he thinks if he
can get flour and bacon cheap enough he
might be able to support one more, and
then he would go to housekeeping.
One of our young men was so fond of
his pistol that he could not spare as much
time to society as the people thought he
might, but somehow the pistol was slip?

attention,' to a certain-Well,

Just as we expected there has been, eince
the last issue of the Intelligencer, a great
rush for the Brooks Cotton Planter ! Par?
ties using them last year have told their

saw these Planters at work on the farms
of their neighbors, and tho consequence is
that the "Brooks" Planter is on a boom.
We guarantee every Planter sold, and will
refund the money paid where one fuils to
do good work. Remember, that the cover
iug arrangement on this Planter has just
been improved. It is now simply perfect.

done and well pushed this season, and we
are taking a lively hand. Prices are cut
down pretty close, and each dealer is vieing
with the other to see who can come the
.nearest selling them for nothing. The
main thing to be considered is to be sure
you get them from a reliable man, who
buys from reliable growers, and has fresh
Seed We have already made our second
order this season, and are in the market to
stay and see it out.
We handle Landreth's Seed exclusively,
get the best prices and discounts, and can
compete with anybody?even Landreth
himself. This is big taik, but we mean
business, and if you don't believe it try us
and him, and we save you the freight.
We invite men who peddk Seed through
the country to bring their quotations to us,
and we guarantee to duplicate any prices
they may have from any reliable house
anywhere, and we save them the freight.
This proposition applies also to merchants
throughout the County. We handle none
but fresh Seed, with the date printed on
each package, and we mean business. We
buy as cheap as anybody, we are satisfied
with as little' profit as anybody, and wil'
sell as cheap as anybody. So don't fail tu
see or communicate with us, and we think
we can save you money. Our place is
