As a general thing farm work is very well advanced, and more cotton will be planted before the 10th inst. than for .merly. A large amount of guano has been used this year. Mr. S. L. Eskew has sold con? siderably over two hundred tons, and still the demand is for more. Mr. MoWhorter's wagon had a runa? way scrape all to itself one day recently. The hands carried some guano to the field in it and:left it standing on a steep hill? side without 'being properly "chocked." It'soon began to move down hill, and the "farther the faster," till it got a high rate of speed, and ending by jumping down a precipice and nticking the tongue in the ground, and capsizing the body, guano and all. The coupling tongue, top body and one wheel were broken. We learn that Mr. L. M. McPhail has gone to New York to attend ithe World's Dispensary Modical Association at Buf? falo. J. -A'-' ' Hunter's Spring Beading Club will meet at Hunter's Spring school house next Saturday iaight. ? The prospects for a fruit crop are very favorable at present.

Mr. John Partain, generally known as Father Partain, died last Saturday, and was tuned at Good Hope the following day. He was a member of that church, but had been unable to attend church for a number of years. He was a good, straightforward old man. We hope he has found rest. Mi&s Lena Blake is spending the week in liOwndesville with her sister, Mrs. H. A. Tennent. Some of the young people of this place seem to be very much attasbed to the little town. . ;~ Rev. R CL' Ligon, pastor of the Good Hope Church, preached an excellent ser? mon last Sunday- irom these words: "Behold, now is the accepted time; be? hold, now ia the day of salvation." Quite a large congregation was there to hear it, as there was no preaching in the other churches. Mr. Sam Wharton, who is attending the Hartwell High School, was at home a few days ago. . Mr. Mac. Sherard, of Anderson, spent last Sunday with his parents. Miss Minnie Teasly, of Hartwell, Gr., has been visiting her brother, Mr. J. Y. Teasly. Mr. William Moss, a nice old "wid? ower," of Mt. Carmel, attended services at this place last Sunday. He was out on a?rwell, we won't say what; but a certain young lady not'far from here had better watch out-if she doesn't want to catch a "beau." Some of the ladies in this community have improved the appearance of their homes by planting a flower garden in their yard. Mrs. 8. T. MoElroy was shopping in Andarson Jast Friday. Anderson just vill keep ahead in the business line. IMrs. S. L. Blake, of Greenwood, came up ono day last week and spent'the day with her daughter, Miss Lena. Moff. Honea Path Items. Bov. D. W.

Miss Lizzie Brock has closed her school and returned home. Mr. C. M. Douglass, State Organizer of Sons of Temperance, lectured here on last Friday night There is need of much temperance work here. Drunk men are frequently seen on the streets of Honea Path. A society for mutual improvement was . organized here last Thursday night- Each person that becomes a member promises to read one book a month, and give an ac? count of it before the society. Miss Ellie Wilson has gone on a visit to relatives in Abbeville County. ? At the Union Meeting at Bethany on Sunday, 31st ult., speeches were made on the subject of Missions by Messrs. H. H.

Several speeches were made at the morning service of the Union Meeting at Barker's Creek on the same. Sunday. At the afternoon service the Missionary Ser? mon was preached by Bev. Mr. Hawkins, pastor of the Little River Church. Several of Anderson's young men, in? cluding the Editor of the Intelligencer, were at the Union Meeting at Barker's Creek. Pop. Belton Items. As Spring begins to show its work in forest and field, tho wide-awake farmer is growing anxious and is hastening against his judgment, in some instances, to put his seeds in the ground; It is well to be on time, but not too early, though an instance of the necessity of early planting was seen a few days ago in a cotton field. Jnsc ahead of the plows preparing the land for cotton seed were cotton pickers gathering the last of the past season's crop. The owner ia not a tortoise farmer, nor does he move at a tortoise gait. The fault is in the late maturing of the variety of cotton. Notwithstanding ita late open? ing, he prefers to plant the Peterkin seed on account of its fine yield and superior fiber. His entire crop will again be of the Peterkin seed this year. Judging from bis usual success in farming and general prosperity, we may justly conclude that his choice of the popular varieties of seed has been well made. Corn planting on upland is about fin? ished. Too early for bottom lands, though a continuance of these sunny days will remove doubts and start the crop. A very light crop of wheat is expected, besides there was a small quantity sown. Oats are yet rather backward, being chiefly of Spring sowing. Nobody yet boasts of Spring vegetables. Much garden work has been done, how over, and in a few weeks our town will be well fed, flavored end scented with green salad and onions. There were two slight railroad accidents the past week. Both being with the freight trains. A broken switch caused the trucks of an engine in one instance, and three boxes in the other, to leave the track. No damage done, save bruises sus? tained by a colored brakeman who, in committing an unintentional half sum? mersault, lodged on his head, while he very energetically and earnestly felt in the air with his feet for a more steady and agreeable resting place. The Cadets of Belton Academy have re? ceived through Mr. Bothchild, one of Greenville's largest clothing dealers, their uniforms recently ordered. They are of the West Point style, and so much admir? ed as to excite jealousy on the part of the female students. The girls are restricted to school gymnastics. A suitable uniform will soon be provided for them. The Cadets were highly complimented last Friday afternoon for the promptness and precision of their movements in a drill on the publio square. They attended Church on Sunday in a body. In Dr. Manly's absence, Rev. J. H. Dew, of Furman University, conducted the services here in the Baptist Church both morning and evening. His excel? lent sermons were greatly enjoyed. We look to Dr. Manly's '.coming with much pleasure, but whenever he cannot come, we will always gladly welcome auch sub? stitutes. Judge Cox's familiar voice was heard in the Baptist Choir Sunday. He doesn't forget Belton's claim on him, and occa? sionally runs down to help us along. Anderson was farther represented here in the persons of Messrs. E. H. Poore, A. Kay, J. P. Dagan and Walter Geer, and two of Anderson's fair ones, Miss Lillian Slough and MisB May Bussell, daughter of our worthy School Commissioner. Miss Russell is the popular teacher at Shady Grove. The young ladies of Belton have been favored with visits by Miss Lizzie Bigby, of Honea Path, and Miss. Nannie Calla ham, who bo gently but successfully pre? sides over Bleak Hill School?that a more appropriate name is in demand. Some of our Belton boys may one of these days go in and break up some of these schools. Better be on your guard, patrons. But you can send tho pupils to Belton. Our trustees say this school shall be one of the best in the County. Kappa. 8325 In Prizes.

Patrick Walsh, President, v A Call to Prayer. Washington, April 5.?The following proclamation was issued late this after* noon: By the President of the United States?A Proclamation. A hundred years has passed since the government which our forefathers found? ed was formally organized. At noon on the thirtieth day of April, 1789, in the city of New York and in the- presence of an assemblage of heroic men whose devo? tion had led the colonies to victory and independence, George Washington took the oath of.' office as Chief Magistrate of the new-born republic. This impressive act was preceded at 9 o'clock in the morning, in all the churches of the city, by prayer for God's blessing on the gov? ernment and its first President. The centennial of this illustrious event in our history has been declared a gen*, eral holiday by Act of Congress to the end that the people of the whole coun? try may join in commemorative ceremo? nies appropriate to the day. In order that the joy of the occasion may be associated with deep thankful? ness in the mindB of the people for all our blessings in the past and devout sup? plication to God for their gracious con? tinuance in the future, representatives of religious creeds, both Christian and Hebrow, have memorialized the govern? ment to designate an hour for prayer and thanksgiving on that day; Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States of Amer? ica, in response to this pious and reason? able request, do recommend that on Tuesday, April 30, at the hour of nine o'clock in the morning, the people of the entire coantry repair to their respective places of Divine worship to implore the favor of God that the blessings of liberty, prosperity and peace may abide with us as a people, and that His hand lead us in paths of righteousness and good deeds. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States of America to be affixed. Done in the city of Washington, this fourth day of April, in the year of our Lord 1889, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and thirteenth. Benjamin Harrison. By the President: James G. Blaxne, Secretary of State. An April Blizzard. Pittsburg, Pa., April 6.?The heavi? est snow storm of the season is prevailing in this section. It began about 10 o'clock last night, and has been snowing ever since. The snowfall is about eight inches up to 10 o'clock this morning, out in the mountains the railroad men report from eighteen inches to two feet. Trains are all behind time, but no accidents have been reported. The storm seems to be confined to the western part of the State. , Charleston, W. Va., April 6?A boow storm prevailed here last night To-day heavy snow is reported in the mountains. Elkton, Dak., April 7.?The moBt terrific wind storm known to this country began Monday, continuing to yesterday. . On Tuesday afternoon a perfect hurricane began, causing the earth to blow from the ploughed fields, drifting in places one and one-half feet deep. About twenty miles; Northeast of here, on Tuesday, a barn ; on the farm of Henry Kurtey, with its contents, three horses, harness, wagon, i etc., was consumed by a fire caused by j the burning straw blowing across a field, j at least a quarter of a mile away, setting fire to a mown timothy hay meadow, across which the fire flew at the speed of a running horse* In attempting to save his horses Mr. Kurtey was fatally burned, dying after 33 hours of horrible suffer? ing. ? Washing ton, April 7.?A heavy snow, wind and rain storm has prevailed here since early this morning. The rain, which began falling sometime before daylight, at; about 9 o'clock changed to snow and from that hour until after dark to-night the air was dense with great flakes driven before a strong North wind, but the weather being mild it .melted as it fell. Several times during the day heavy peals of thunder were heard and stray sparks of lightning fre? quently darted across the switch-boards in the telegraph offices.. The telephone and fire alarm wires throughout the city are more or less demoralized, and tele gra hie communication with the South and* West is wholly cut off. Pittsburg, Pa.. April 7.?Snow has been falling here all day and is now fully a foot deep on the South Mountain, ten miles from this place. The thermometer is down to freezing point. Richmond, Va., April 7.?The worst storm of the season prevailed here yes? terday. It commenced with thunder and lightning and was followed by rain, bail and snow, augmented by high winds. At 9 o'clock the snow and wind showed no abatement, and reports denote that- the storm is general throughout the State. Winchester, Va., April 7.?A furious snow storm and blizzard prevailed all day yesterday," the snow falling to a depth of fourteen inches, as mach as has fallen during the entire winter. At 10:30 o'clock yesterday morning while the snow was falling so rapidly as to be almost impenetrable a loud clap of thunder from tho Southeast startled our citizens. The winds were very high all day. Telegraph wires are down in all directions. This is the heaviest snow this late in season for years. States Swept by Fire. Minneapolis, April 4.?During the last two dayB South Dakota and Minne? sota have been swept by a series of wind storms which have caused hundreds of thousands of dollars damages to prop? erty and the loss of several lives. The storm started Monday night and swept over a large area south of tho Northern Pacific Eailroad in Dakota and extending into the southern tiers of counties in this State. The greatest damage has not been caused by the wind alone, but in many places fires fanned into fory by the storms have wiped out of existence several small villages and hundreds of farmers' houses. The towns almost com? pletely destroyed are Volin, Olivet, Pu kawana, Lestersville and Mount Vernon and three or four other villageB were bad? ly damaged. At Volin every house in the place except three was demolished and 100 people are without homes. Les terville is '? flattened to the gbotjnd and twenty families are without a' roof. A terrible gale of wind struck Mount Vernon and a fire started from a small house that was blown over early last night. No human power could stop the flames, and in an hour the best portion of the place was one great raging fire. Nearly two hundred families are homeless, and the loss will foot up $200,000. It is reported that several persons lost their lives in this fire, but no confirmation haa been received. Four large elevators and the Milwaukee depot were destroyed. Near Blunt one man lost five hundred head of sheep which were caught in a prairie fire. Several head of horses were Baved by swimmiog a river. In'many placeB the crops were covered by loose sand and dust and will have to be re? planted. travel stopped by clouds of dust. Travel was suspended on some lines of road. So great was the force of the wind that clouds of dust prevented the engineers from seeing the track. A report from Gary says the sun was almost totally ob? scured and the superstitious thought the end of the world had come. Farm houses and barns were swept away and horses and cattle were burned to death by scores. Near Milbank 50 head of live stock are reported lost, and the fire has swept over twenty miles of country, causing immense losses. The storm has abated somewhat but the wind is yet high enough to keep the fires burning fiercely and further heavy losses are almost 'certain. The damage in Minnesota is much less than in Dakotu, as the force of the storm was pretty well spent before it reached the boundary. A dispatch from Yankton, Dak., says': "The records of the signal office show that during the prevalence of the fires in this region the humidity was but seven per cent., a condition of dry ness, Sergeant Oswald says, never before attained in this region. The maximum humidity is 100; mean annual here .70. This shows that the atmosphere was al? most devoid of moisture. The velocity of the wind, was forty-six miles an hour.' The losses in South Dakota will foot up $2,000,000 at a low calculation." St. Paul, Minn, April 4.?A Pioneer Press Lake Benton, Minn., special says: "The most devastating prairie fire ever known raged over the prairies west and north of Lake Benton Tuesday. The wind was a hurricane for nearly twenty four hours and swept the fire along with resistless force, passing the widest-fire breaks as nothing and leaping plowed fields with a bound. It licked up houses, barns, stock and in some places human lives. The greatest destruction of prop erty and loss of life ia in Dakota. Bee Heights, a town west on the Northwestern road, is almost destroyed. Dempster i Station, on the Watei town branch, in re? ported destroyed. Spauldings Banche, near there, is also reported consumed. Crossing into Lincoln County over a track of land comparatively little settled and covered with a heavy growth of grass it swept on with renewed severity. It is reported that Henry Kowith, Mr. Berg, G. M, Moon and others have lost nearly all their buildings with contents." A Jackson, Minnesota, special Bays: "The prairie fires prove ? more general than at first believed. Additional losses are reported from all directions and mes? sengers bring news of stubborn fights to save endangered property. Fires were ! raging in every direction and each seem? ed to pursue a distinct course of its own. A fire which would have swept this vil? lage from the face of the earth has been, traced to its origin. The search culmina? ted in the arrest of James Travnick. When arraigned he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to pay $25 and costs or in default thereof 60 days in jail. Much dissatisfaction if felt at this sentence. Public opinion is that justice has been too highly tempered with mercy. A M>" r, Dak., correspondent tele? graphs L.e prairie fire Tuesday night destroyed uoout forty houses, many barns, a large number of horses and cattle and left about forty families destitute in the Southern part of this county. The terri? ble gale of wind added to the terrors of the situation. The loss is estimated at ?50,000. The County Commissioners are in session and will see that no one suffers for the necessities of life." From Huron, Dak., comes the follow? ing: "No prairie fire in the history of this part of Dakota equals that of Tues? day. In this county the losses are much less than in the counties west. Half a dozen houses were burned and many set? tlers lost their barns, some stock and a large quantity of hay and grain. The wind was from fifty to sixty miles an hour, and sent burning embers over the plowed ground and fire breaks several rod wide, setting fire to everything in their course. The fire come up bo suddenly that set? tlers had only lime to save themselves, leaving .heir property to the mercy of the flames. In Sully and Hughes coun? ties $200,000 worth of property has been destroyed, Near Highmore Miss Sweedy was burned to death, and near St. Law? rence Mr. Babcock perished in the flames. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Defiance, O., April 5.?Mrs. C. Asch bacber, living near here, last Sunday evening, in some unaccountable manner, swallowed her false teeth. They lodged about nine inches below the palate, and all efforts to dislodge them have bo far failed. Toledo physicians have been sent for, but it is thought her death is in? evitable. Birmingham, Ala., April 4.?Wil? liam Dallas, a young colored man, em? ployed at the Sloes furnaces, to day fell into one of the furnaces, and was burned to ashes in a few moments. He was doidg some work at the top of the fur? nace, when he suddenly lost bis balance and fell in backwards. He bad -only time to utter one despairing shriek. This is the fourth man burned in furnaces in this city within three years. Pittsburg, Pa., April 4.?Edward Dietz, a laborer, who re?ided with his wife and family on Craig street, below Center avenue, killed one of his children, a girl, three years of age, and then cut his own throat. The deed was the cut come of a quarrel between Dietz and hia wife, which started last night. Mrs. Dietz swore out a warrant for her husband's arrest for assault, and a constable was sent after him, but he drove the officer away. Mrs. Dietz was afraid to return home, and this morning, with two officers, went to the house and found the doors barricaded, and Dietz and his child dead within. The cause of the tragedy was the refusal of Mrs. Dietz to send for her eldest daughter, Lena, who was living out as a domestic, to come home. Dietz wanted his wife to live out, and the daughter to take her place. After driv? ing Mrs. Dietz and all the children but the baby from the house, Dietz sent a a message to Lena that if she was not at home in an hour he would kill every one in the family. She did not obey him, and the refusal of the others to return probably alone prevented the monster from putting bis threat into execution, The mania of suicide is prevalent here. Within the past week nine attempts at self destruction have been made ?? nd six of them were successful. Baltimore, April 7.?Be v. JoBeph A. Munday, of Tennessee, came to Baltimore thia morning, and while taking in the town visited State's saloon and gambling house, and imbibed somewhat freely. From there he weut into Flood's gam? bling house next door and indulged in a game of poker. During the game the preacher and Martin Burns got into a quarrel, which resulted in a fight. ? After exchanging blows Bums drew a knife and cut the preacher's throat and threw him into the street. Burns was arrested and held on a charge of assault with in? tent to murder. Augusta, Ga., April 5.?Mary Evans and Mary Moultrie, two duskey damsels residing on Crawford's alley, Harrison burg, fell out about a slop bucket this morning and had a free fight, which ter? minated disastrously for the Moultrie woman. Moultrie struck Evans with a stick, and the latter responded with a bucket. They then closed in, tooth and toenail. Moultrie got Evans's thumb in her mouth, and was making things lively when Evans got Moultrie's left ear in her mouth and bit it entirely off, spitting it out of her mouth on the ground. This ended the fight and the Evans womau, picking up her ear, sought a doctor. It was sewed on, but whether it will grow back remains to be seen. Mary Evans was bound over to the city court under $500 on the charge of mayhem. Chicago, April 6.?Mrs. W. A. Filler, of Arkansas City, arrived here this morn? ing aud took a cab at the Union depot to drive to the Chicago and Atlantic station. When the cab had gone a few blocks it ran over an obstruction in the street, and the doors were thron n open. Mrs. Filler's ten year old daughter Effie, who was sitting in her mother's lap, was hurled to the ground, the wheels passing over her and crushing her frightfully. The mother sprang out and picked the child up, but it died in her arms within two minutes. Mrs. Filler fell ,to the ground fainting, and was taken np and carried to a hotel, where, with another child eight years of age, and the dead child, she lies in so critical a condition that it is feared she cannot live. She was on her way to ColumbuB, 0., where her husband was recently appointed su? perintendent of an infirmary. A Scrap of Paper Saves Her Life* It was just an ordinary scrap of wrap? ping paper, but it saved her life. She was in the last stages of consumption, told by physicians that she was incurable and could live only a short time; she weighed less than seventy pounds. On a piece of wrapping paper she read of Dr. King's New Discovery, and got a sample bottle; it helped her, she bought a large bottle, it helped her more, bought another and grew better fast, continued its use and is now strong, healthy, rosy plump, weigh? ing 140 pounds.
