The Pendleton Agricultural Society will hold a meeting on Thursday, 11th inst, to consider the feasibility of having a Stock Show in connection with the Sum? mer meeting of the State Agricultural So? ciety, which will be held at Pendleton next August. Thla is a step in the right direction, and we hope the members of the Pendleton Society will use every effort to make a success of it, as the Stock Show would add considerable interest to the meeting. About the 1st of May Messrs. McGee & Ligon will have to vacate their present storeroom, as it is to be torn down and replaced by a brick building. These gen? tlemen desire to reduce their stock of goods by that time, and for the next thirty days will sell everything at reduced prices.

When calling for above state that they were advertised, also give the date of advertisement. Miss Lizzie Williams, the popnlar pro prietess of the Ladies' Store, has a word to say to her many friends and customers about her new stock of Spring and Sum? mer goods, which are now ready for the inspection of the public. Miss Lizzie spent sometime in the markets carefully selecting her goods, and is prepared to please the poor and rich, as well as the most fastidious. Our lady readers would do well to give her .an early call, for she is thoroughly posted on ull' of the latest styles, and will take pleasure in giving the information to her customers. A few days ago we had a pleasant call from our good friend, Mr. C. M. Douglass, of Columbia, who is now traveling over the State in* the interest of the order of Sons of Temperance. The Grand Divis? ion, at its last session, determined to make an effort to raise a propagation fund for the purpose of extending the work in sec? tions of the State where there are no Di? visions, and Mr. Douglass is now canvas? sing for the purpose of raising this fund. He is also visiting places where Divisions once existed with a view of reviving them. Mr. Douglass is an energetic worker, and he; tells us that he is ' meeting with success. Miss Lenora C. Hubbard, the popnlar and efficient Principal of the Home School, has an advertisement in this issue, to which we would direct especial attention. The Home School needs no commendation from us, for its merits are too well known. The number of pupils, however, have in? creased so rapidly that Miss Hubbard has been compelled to enlarge her building, wMoh has just been completed, and she bis determined now to make it a thorough preparatory, school, so that when pupils leave her charge they can at once enter the -best College. Anderson is fortunate in having such a school and such a teacher in her midst. We desire our readers to note carefully the advertisement of Lesser & Co., whose establlshmc f. is now literally packed with Spring and Summer goods. Their stock includes dry jyoods, boots, shoes, hats, millinery, furnishing goods, etc., which, have been purchased at remarkably low prices. This season their stock is mubh larger than usual, and many bar? gains have been secured, and they pro? pose to give their customers the benefit of them. Lesser & Co's. place of business :s on Brick Range, next door to J. E. Peoples & Co. Remember this when you <?r?t the city, and be sure to inspect their stock-^before making your purchases. They araalways delighted to have their friends calTand see their goods. One of young men recently visited a certain village in this County, and-yhile there made an unexpected call on a pop? ular young lady resident. "Wheu the young man knocked at the door, the young lady was engaged in washing the diuhes. She was1 agreeably surprised at .the call, and, of course, naturally became a little excited, and in the hurry to get ready and to get the dishes out of the way, she accidentally knocked over n pile of phUes, saucers, etc., breaking all of them. She did not stop to cry over the accident, but met the young man as soon as possi? ble and entertained him in her usual pleasant way. The young man, of course, knew nothing of the accident, but some of his friends think that he should replace the broken dishes. Mr. J. G. Cunningham has a fine Brahma hen that laid three eggs last Tuesday. He had two hens?an old one and a young one?confined in a certain place on his premises. Early in the morning he visited the nest, and took out all of the eggs ex? cept one. Late in the afternoon he again visited the nest, and, to his astonishment, found five eggs in it. One of the fresh eggs was a small one, showing that it had been laid by the young hen, but the other three were all the same size. When Mr. Cunningham came over to town and told of the remarkable occurrence, his friends were of the opinion that he was trying to play an April-fool, but be vouches for the truth of the story, and says his main rea? son for dring so is that there was no other hen in the place, and that none could have gotten in there. C. W. Hayes, an "itinerant tramp," was examined before Trial Justice Quattle baum on Monday morning, charged on the oath of Barney O'Donneli with grand larceny, and with breaking and entering the prosecutor's bar on Saturday night. The evidence showed that the defendant had stolen the key from Mr. O'Donnell's bar-room door some time during Satur? day, and after the store was closed for the night, he went in and helped himself. He was found at the rear of the bar Sun? day about twelve o'clock, with several gallons of whiskey and more than a crate of beer, which he had attempted to con? ceal under a shop near by. Mr. O'Don? neli was notified of the circumstance, when an examination brought to light the above facts. Hayes had in the mean? time taken himself off, but was, after some searching, found by Policeman McKinuey, and put iu the guard house for safe keeping until a warrant could be obtained. The preliminary on Monday morning showing aprimafacie case, it was sent to the Court of General Sessions, and the defendant was committed in default of two hundred dollars bail. Phil Butler, a negro, who had received a part of the goods stolen, knowing them to be stolen, plead guilty and was fined ten dollars or thirty days in jail. He paid the fine. The new advertisement of Mr. R. S. Hill should be carefully read by every one of our readers. Mr. Hill has spent several weeks in the Northern markets, and purchased the largest and prettiest stock of Spring and Summer gpods he has ever shown in Anderson. These goods are now in position and are ready for the inspection of the trading public. As is well known Mr. Hill occupies No G, Granite Row, and it is a treat now to visit hia establishment and see the pretty goods. The ladies, especially, will find it to their interest to call at once. The millinery department, which is in charge of Mrs. Sloan, a most tasteful milliner, contains all the latest styles and novelties, which will not only please the eye of the fair sex, but also the "old man,'" for the goods are sold at prices that will please all. Mrs. Sloan has been in tbe North, too, and knows all about the latest styles and fashions. Tbe dress-making depart? ment is still in charge of Miss Mallalieu, who never fails to give satisfaction to her patrons. Mr. Hill &ays he is not afraid of competition, and is determined to get rid of his goods, jf low prices and fair dealing will do it. He will tako pleasure in showing his goods and quoting prices. There is no house in Anderson that occu? pies a position of higher rank, and if you will pay it one visit we feel confident you will go baok again. Mr. Tim. D, Kennedy died at the home of his brother-in-law, Mr. Barney O'Don uell, in this city, last Thursday morning at 4 o'clock, of consumption. Mr. Ken? nedy was about 41 years" of age, and was well known throughout the County. He was the eldest son of tbo late M. D. Ken? nedy, and came to Anderson with his parents when a small boy. Here he was reared and educated, and we doubt if there ever was reared in our raidstayoung man with a more brilliant mind, or a more genial, noble disposition. In his early manhood he decided upon the practice of law as his vocation for life, and after pursuing a course in the law depart? ment of the University of Virginia, he returned to Anderson, was admitted to the bar, and at once opened an office for the practice of his profession . For several years he ably conducted the local depart? ment of the Intelligencer. About two yeare ago ha went to Santos, Fla., where he remained until afow weeks ago, when be returned home. Shortly after his return, he was confined to his bed, and gradually grew worse until death came fco his relief. Late Friday afternoon bis remains were consigned to their last rest? ing place in the Catholic cemetery, Father Hirehmeyer conducting the funeral services in the presence of a large crowd of sympathizing friends. Last Monday was "All-Fool's-Day," and as usual many jokes Were played on the unsuspecting. Several young men were going all over the business part of the city looking for various personB whom they had been told were anxious to see them. At an early hour the report was started that President Harrison had been assassi? nated, and many expressions of regret could be heard from those who believed the report. But the best joke of tbe day happened Monday night at acer?ain board? ing-house 'in the city. At this house there is a certain young man boarding who is very afraid of fire, and when an alarm is given he gets very much excited. Several of his companions, who room next door to him, having seen his actions when the fire alarm is sounded, determined to perpe? trate a joke on. him. Accordingly they posted the aforesaid young man's room? mate, who agreed to assist in carrying cut the joke. Iu the meantime the young man suspected that something was going to happen, but kept it to himftelf. The young men all retired to bed about their usual hour, and when it was thought that most of the boarders were asleep, two certain young men arose from their bed, and, saturating a paper with kerosene oil, went out into the hall, just opposite the aforesaid young man's room, where they lighted the paper. They at once threw open their friend's door and began crying "fire I fire I " The young man arose im? mediately from his bed, and in his usual excited way, inquired where the fire was. Upon being told that it was in an adjoining loom he grabbed a bucket of water and started for the door, but instead of rushing out of tbe room, he dashed the contents of tbe bucket all over his two friends who had attempted to play the joke on him, and, as he did so, burst into a big laugh. His friends, realizing that they had got the worst of the April-fool quietly retired to their rooms, where they lost no time in exchanging their wet "Mother Hubbards" for dryer ones. Now when you mention April-fool to Judge Cox and Jim Dugan, they utter rather a dry langb, but Ab. Kay enjoys the joke hugely, and says he always keeps a bucket of water in his room, to_vme in case a fire should break out. .In Enjoyable Occasion. Orr Lodge, No. 5, Ancient Order of United Workmen, celebrated its first an? niversary by giving a grand supper at the boarding house of Mrs. E. C. Jordan, on McDuffie street, last Friday evening, anp it was a most pleasant occasion. Outside of the members of the Lodge and their wires, there were only a few invited guests present. It was the first occasion of the kind given by a secret order in the city where the ladies had been invited to participate, but we feel safe in Baying that it will not be the last, for their presence certainly added a great deal to the pleas? ures of the evening. The supper was announced at about 10 o'clock, when tbe * members and their guests murched into the spacious dining room and took their seats around the heavily ladaned tables, which contained almost everything that the appetite could wish for. J. E. Breazeale, the M. W. of the Lodge, Eresided, and, after the meats and oysters ad been dispensed with, arose and stated the Committee of arrangements had ar? ranged for some speeches on subjects appropriate to the occasion. He then, in a few remarks, gave a review of the work of tbe Lodge for the first year of its exis? tence, and concluded by proposing the first sentiment for the evening?"The Ancient Order of United Workmen"? and called up Rev.. A, A. Marshall, t?e Grand Foreman of the Grand Lodge, to respond, who did so in his characteristic style, in which he gave much information as" to the Order, and urged the necessity of insurance. The next toast was "Our invited guests," and was ably responded to by Rev. A. P. Nicholson, The last toast on the programme was "Woman," and James M. Sullivan re? sponded in a well prepared speech, which was well received. Tbe prosiding officer then announced that according to the programme that ended the speeches for the evening, but that after hearing the able speech on woman by Mr. Sullivan, and believing that it had had its effect upon even the bachelors present, and that they have de? cided to~get-untp themsolves wives, he ?would propose a toast to the bachelors ?f" the Order, upon which E. W. Long was called for and made a very happy response. The meeting then adjourned, all feeling that they had had a most errjoyable occa? sion. The Committee of Arrangements of the Lodge and their Auxiliary Committee of Ladies, deserve much credit for their efforts to please and entertain. Union Mooting at Barker's Creek. The Union Meeting of the 1st District, Saluda Association, met at Barker's Creek Church, three miles west of Honea Path, last Saturday and Sunday. The 1st Dis? trict is composed mostly of the Churches of tbe upper section of Abbeville County, and as a consequence a large crowd of the good people of both Counties attended the meeting. We had long had a desire to visit tbe Backers' Creek section, and took advantage of this occasion to make the visit. Early Sunday morning, in company with cur clever 3Toung friend, G. F. Bigby, who was born and reared iu that section, we loft the city, and bad not gone far before we were overtaken by several other young gentlemen from the city, all of whom were bound for the same place. When we reached the Church the people were com? ing in from every section, and it was soon evident that the Church would not near seat the crowd. About 11 o'clock the Sunday School Union was called to order by Mr, M. B. Wright, the Superintendent, with Dr. J. A. Robinson as Secretary. All the schools in the District were represented, and short leports of the condition t)f each school was made by tbe various delegations, all of which was listened to with much interest. The usual business of the Union was then transacted, after which interesting ad? dresses relative to the Sunday School work were delivered by Messrs. T. L. Clinkscales, Sr., M. B. McGee and others. The busi? ness of the Sunday School Union was fin? ished about 1 o'clock, whon a recess of forty minutfs was announced for dinner. The people generally had brought their dinners with them, and those who had not been so wise did not lack for invitations to dine with friends. We had numerous invitations, and our only regret was that we could not accept all of them. After dinner the Union again assem? bled, and those who were fortunate enough to get into tbe Church had the pleasure of hearing a most interesting sermon from tbe Rev. R. D. Hawkins, pastor of Little River Church. The next Union Meeting will be held with Walnut Grove Church, in Abbeville County, on the fifth Sunday in June. The occasion was certainly a most pleas? ant and profitable one to all who were so fortunate to be present. We have never had the privilege of visiting a more hospi? table section or seeing more pretty girls gathered together at a similar meeting. It was our first visit in that section, bot it will not be the last, and we feel safe in saying that the other young men who wont from Anderson will go back again. We had our eyes on them, but we prom? ised not to tell about their movements. Racket Store. Look out for the Red Flag in store? room formerly oocupied by Watson & Son. and 10 cents goods. 38-3 A Tragedy at Townville; The Townville Correspondent of the Charleston News ana Courier, under date of March 27, says: "This little village, unused to tragio occurrences, is much stirred up to-day over a distressing aflair which occurred a mi?i? from here last night. Mrs. Wm. S. Woolbright, some 45 years of age, had been ill for several months, and the ravages of disease had finally made inroads on her mind. Her dementia, however, had not become seriously alarming. Last night her mother arose from sleep to administer medicine, but the apparent peaceful sleep? ing of the sufferer caused her to dsaist and retire again. ??At 2 o'clock the husband, who was resting beside his wife awoke, and discov? ering her absence raised the alarm. She had passed from the house cn dishabille and gone throngh the farm half a mile to the house, of a son, who but recently had moved in with his parents on account of the mother's affliction. But a few min? utes were required to confirm the fears of the family that she had precipitated her? self into the well at the son's house. ?'Fifty feeii below the surface and in two or three feet of water the poor woman called piteousiy to be taken out, saying she was then in her right mind, but before means of rescue could be had she died, her death resulting from injuries re ceivjd in falling, it is said. "Mrs. Woolbright was a lady of exalted chax-cter, and was withal a most exem? plary Christian, and always strove to relieve and comfort the sick and distressed around her. Mr. Woolbright is one of the most substantial and highly respected citizens of this community." Chanco for a Bright Boy.

C, Third Congressional District of S. C. Hu\r the "Dark Corner" Received its Name' Jefferson, Ga., March 29th, 1889. Mr. Editor: Your last Intelligencer was received by last mail. I happen to know who named the Dark Corner. My father, A. J. Liddell, Esq., was assessing in that portion of the then Pendleton Dis? trict. He came to a house or cabin, went in and inquired for the gentleman of the house. The woman told him her husband was not at home, and asked, "What do you want with my old man ?" "I merely want him to give in what he is worth." "Well, who sent you here to know what we are worth?" "Congress." "Well where doe3 Mr. Congress live?" By that time my father, the Assessor, was amused, and Col. Eliaa Earle, (father of the late Elias Earle, of Anderson,) was at that time our member to Congress. He told her Mr. Congress lived atCentreville. "Well, you tell nim my old man will come up and give him a whipping." ? When my father came home he told Col. Earle to look out, and told him the conversation. Col. Earle said that was the Dark Corner of the Pendleton District. But then, as now, it was settled by as intel? ligent a community as was in Pendleton District. Col. Earle said he would dodge the whipping by denying the name of Congress. The old man's worldly posses? sions were a straw bed, a baker's oven and three stools. Now, if some one will tell how Due West, in Abbeville County, came by its name, I should like to hear. My mother was born and reared within three miles of Due West. It was not known then why it was called Due West. Yours, with respect, M. C. Lindsay. Epoch.
