An exchange says the best ant-trap is an ordinary dinner-plate, the interior of which, all below the rim, is smeared with lard.

Todd, of Augusta, Ga., is spending a few days in the city. Mr. I Todd now ranks as one of the most tal-1 en ted young architects in the South, and we are glad to know that he is building up a fine business. He recently submit? ted a plan for the Arsenal Hospital to be erected by the United States Government in Augusta, and it has been adopted. This is certainly very ?eomplimentary to him, as he had quite a number of compet? itors. We are indebted to Miss Maude Wake field and Miss Minnie Watson, both of whom are from Anderson County, for an invitation to attend the Eleventh Anni? versary of the Judson Literary Society of the Greenville Female College, which takes place on Wednesday evening, June J 19th.

Clement, H. L Power and Thos. Braddy. The Pickens Sentinel of last week says: "We believe that Col. W. 8. Pickens has one of the prettiest country seats in An-1 derson County. North Hill, as ho calls it, j is better formed for a residence than if it had been made to order. Gently sloping on all sides, shaded by a magnificent oak grove, and improved and beautified by every convenience that a rare genius could devise, its venerable lord is lacking in nothing that can contribute happiness to the past meridian of a well spent life. Col, Pickens has about completed the sec? ond Church which he has had the honor and pleasure of building. Wesley Chapel is the name of the new Church, which i? on the spot of ground where the first Presbyterian Church was erected in An? derson County and the up poun try. It is an elegant little building, and will be ready for the congregation in a few weeks." Our progressive City Council are having excavated, at the intersection of East Boundary andjiiver streets, opposite the residence of Councilman Watkins a cistern of th e capacity of 20,000 gallons. It is well to be prepared for an emergency, but it is to be hoped that the future will be as the past, as there has been but one fire in that quiet suburb; in the period of forty years. The work is being engineored by Street Overseer Reed, and the brick work is under contract of Jos. N. Byrntn. An? other Is being' completed on University Hill, and Chief Maxwell informs us that three more will be located in otlfer portions of the city. The Richmond & Danville Railroad Company have a force of twenty-five or thirty hands, in charge of Construction Master Satn'l Sharps and Section Master Erskine, engaged in grading and laying track from the main track, opposite the Oil Mill, to the Cotton Factory grounds. The work will be completed in ten or twelve days. Mr. Cecil, the energetic con? tractor of the building of the Cotton Mills, is making tine progress in the manufac? ture of brick, having in kiln and on the 3'ard near a half million, and in a few days, if tbo weather continues favorable, will commence the foundation, and by early fall will have the building ready for the machinery. Mr. T. R Osborno, who formerly re? ef ded near Fair Play, was accidentally killed on Tuesday night, 21st inst., at Smith Mines, near Birmingham, Ala. He was timber foreman at the mines, and while preparing to set up some tim? ber to support the roof, a part of the roof fell in upon him, killing him instantly. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn his untimely death. Mr. Osborne j was convicted a number of years ago at Walhalla of the murder of Mrs. Richard Compton, and was sent to the Penitentiary for a term of years, bnt while at work as a convict on the Beiton, Williamston & Easloy Railroad, made his escape, and was never captured. We took a little jaunt down into the lower section of the County last Satur? day, and crossed over into Abbeville County and spent the night at the hospi? table home of our kinsman, Mr. E. B. Norris. On Sunday we attended services at First Creek Church, and listened to an excellent sermon from the pastor, Rev. Mr. Smart. There is always a very large congregation at this place on the fourth Sunday in May, and last Sunday was ho exception to the rule. Indeed, the Church could not accommodate the crowd, and many persons had to remain outside. This church has a very large and intelli? gent membership, and it is a real pleasure to meet and mingle with them. That4 section of the country is needing rain, but the crops along the roads we travelled looked much better than we expected to find them. They are free from grass, and the cotton is growing finely. There is an abundance of fruit in that section. We have promised a number of our friends to go back down there when it gets ripe, and we are going to fulfill the promise. Mrs. Emma Wakefield, wife of Mr. Sam'I J. Wakefield, died at her home at Antreville, Abbeville County, last Sun? day night. Mrs. Wakefield was the eldest daughter of Mr. E. B. Norris, and was about 30 years of age. She had been sick only a few days, and the announcement of her death was a great shock to her nu? merous'friends and relatives. The old saying that death loves a shining mark is truly verified in this instance. She was a most excellent, noble woman, with a lovely character and a sweet, amiable dis? position, whose many kind deeds and noble virtues will long be cherished by those who knew her and loved her. At an early age-she joined the First Creek Baptist Church, and throughout' her life was an active, consistent; member. Her remains were laid to rest in the First Creek Churchyard on Tuesday morning, Rev. J. S. Murray conducting the funeral services in the presence of a large con? course of friends and relatives. She leaves a heart-broken husband,, two bright little boys and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her death. The Annual Drill and Inspection of the Citadel .Cadets took placB in Charleston last Friday, and an Ander >oy won the prize, a gold star, for the bt-ot drilled Cadet of the corps. All of the fonr Com? panies participated in the drill, and the contest was finally n arrowed down to four Cadets, one from sach Company. In speaking of the contest between these four Cadets, the Charleston World- says: "The contest did not last long. After the first round Cadet P. K. McCully was left alone in his glory. When the result was announced, the other Cadets seized upon him, rubbed his head, hurrahed over him, and finally bore him in triumph on their shoulders all around the green. After order had been restored, the drum was sounded and the entire corps fell in for dress parade. Before the parade, however, the medal was presented to Mr. McCully, with the usual ceremony, by General Johnston, Superintendent of the Academy. Cadet McCully is one of the youngest Ca? dets in the Academy. He is the son of a promipent merchant of Anderson. This is bis second year at the Citadel. He has always taken a high stand in his classes and among his fellow studeuts." A Sensation in Anderson. An affair of unusual occurrence has come to public attentioa in Anderson dur? ing the past few days, and while we are loth to give publicity to such unpleasant transactions, still as the matter has already gone to the world through several dally papers, in our own Interest and in the in? terest of our patrons, we deem it advisa? ble to give the facts as we have been able to ascertain them. For the past ten years Col. J. W. Trow bridge has been doing business in Ander? son as a Merchant Broker, and as such received consignments of goods' by the car load, which he would dispose of to his cus? tomers. The shipper would send the bill of lading attached to a draft on the con? signee to the .National Bank, which would collect the money and surrender the bill of lading to the party paying the draft, whe would then present it to the Raiiroad Agent and receive from him the goods called for by it. Mr. Trowbridge has been doing an extensive business with our merchants, and the greater portion of his goods weve ohjnped over the Savannah Valley Railroad. Being tbp cotton weig?er at this depot during the cottou season, and a very intimate friend of the Agent, Mr. L. P. Smith, Col. Trowbridge was in and about the office a gfeater por? tion of hia time, and for his convenience and accommodation My. Sinith had ar? ranged special files for his (Trowbrldge's) bills of lading, freight bills, etc. Every? thing has worked smoothly until a few weeks ago, and it is charged now that Mr. Trowbridge has obtained possession of several car loads of goods by representing to Mr. Smith that he had the bills of lad ? ing in his possession, or had filed them in their proper place in the depot, and Mr. Smith, having such implicit confidence in him, would let him haye them on such representations, winch, Mr. Smith says, were not true. Mr. Smith says that the lirst Intimation he received that there was something wrong came through the Bank, and, as soon as he could make an investigation,' he discovered that he was responsible to the railroad company to the amount of about $G,500. lie at once approached CoJ. Trow? bridge, who acknowledged what he had done, and at the same time told him that he had not only ruined himself financially but Mr. Smith also. Qf course, the Railroad Company^is re? sponsible for the ?PQris, and they hold Mr. Smith responsible to them. The Cen? tral Railroad officials came to Anderson on Monday, and had a conference with Mr. Smith, who, we learn, has made an as? signment of his property so as to secure his bondsmen and make tho loss good to the Railroad Company. On Tuesday morning Col. Trowbridge was arrested on a charge of "obtaining goods under false pretences," and bound over to appear at the preliminary trial, which will be held on Wednesday, 12th of June. Col. Trowbridge claims' that he can make a showing that will exonerate him from any intention to do a criminal act, and says that if he had the means he would not let Mr. Smith or anj' other person lose a dollar on his account. The whole affair is deeply regretted, as both gentlemen are highly estoemed und popular citizens. A Card of Thanks. At the last regular meeting of Anderson Division, No. 1, Sons of Temperance, the undersigned was authorized to return the sincere thanks of the Division to the ladieu who so kindly contributed refresh? ments on the occasion of our recent anni? versary entertainment, and to thoso who came to the Hall and assisted in serving the same. I can assure the noble ladies that the success of the occasion was largely due to them, and that their assistance is highly appreciated by each member of the Division, I am also authorized to thus publicly thank Rev, A A. Marshall for the most excellent address delivered on the same occasion. His words of wiedom not only strengthened our own members, but it is believed will result in bringing into our ranks new workers, who will assist in fighting that terrible monster and greatest enemy to man?intemperance. C. C. Lanqston, Recording Scribe. Flat Rook Itemb. Mr.-J. W. Hall is having his dwelling house painted. Never put off until to-morrow what is due you to day. The mumps are prevailing considerably in this community. Capt. J. A. Gray has the best piece of upland corn we have seen. Mr. G. W. Long, who has been Bick several months, is improving very slowly. Farm work of various kinds is progress? ing very well. Oats are needing rain. Mrs. E. B. Hall, who has been quite ill, is now better. - Last week Mr. S. C. Hall killed a very large anake, which measured 11$ feet long. Mr. S. H. Stone has been blessed with a fine girl baby recently. He wears a broad smile. Mr.' A. J. Watt is' now erecting a new dwelling house at Deans. Mrs. Clementine Hall, one of onr oldest citizens, has been, and is now, quite sick. She has been confined to her room for the last six weeks. "I confess, air," said a young lady with some shyness, "that I might in time learn to love you, but you are quite poor, are you not?" "Well, yes, but with you dear1'? We heard no more. Last Sunday was a week ago a Sunday School was organized at this place. Mr. S. P. T?te was elected Superintendent, and J. B. Herron assistant. Last Sunday, at this place, Rev. W. W. Leathers, of Greenville, preached quite an instructive sermon. He handles a sub? ject with gloves off, and hews to the line, regardless as to how the chips fall. The congregation was favorably impressed with him, and hope he will visit us agnin soon. Flat. flonea Path Items. Hewlett Sullivan, Esq., of Anderson, paid our town a visit this week. ? Mr. W. A. Gallis, seed agent for cotton seed oil mill Charlotte, N. C, was in town last week. Mies Mettie May Surratt, of William? ston, is on a visit to friends here. Mr. J. L. Brock's house was set on fire last Friday night, but fortunately the fire went out without doing much damage. It is thought to be the work of an incen? diary. Rev. Baxter Hays preached in the Bap? tist Church last 6unday night. His old friends were glad to hear him again. ? One of our cleverest bachelors was out riding with.two young ladies. That looks like business. The wheat crop in this section is very good. The oat crop not so good. Joshua W. Ashley says he has the beat prospects for a cotton crop that he ever had. A beautiful Communion Set has been purchased for the Baptist Church here. One of our young men, who is not a church member, gave more than one-fourth of the money to buy it. The Lord loves a cheer? ful giv<ir. If you want to see a sick-looking young man, jmt let another fellow go with hia best girl & few times, and you'll have the satisfaction of seeing one. Prof. Watkins, with his assistants, is very busy getting ready for the closing ex? ercises of the school. Mr. Eugene Milford, of Anderson, spent some time with relatives here before leav? ing for Europe. We wish him a pleasant trip and a safe return. R. M- Shirley is now preparing to erect 3 handsome brick stpre-house on Main street. We wish ''Bob" much supcesa. _MESSSElf?ER. Denver Items. The pic nie season is in full blast now. Two very pleasant ones have been held at Jolley's Spring. This place is steadily gaining favor as a resort for pic niC3. We are having pome weather now?some bad, windy weather~-and farmers are anx ously awaiting rain. Last Wednesday was a very windy day. We hoard a reliable gentleman remark at the pic nie last Satur? day that the wind blew so hard that seve-. ral trees were blown down in his field that jyerp never blown down before. Mr. Walter Cagey had the misfortune to lose his dwelling-house and contents the evening of the 22nd inst. by fire. Mr. and Mrs. Casey were about visiting his mother, who was dying about the time the fire oc? curred. Petitions were freely circulated, and prompt responses of substantial aid were tendered Mr. Casey. We understand the neighbors are taking steps to have the house rebuilt soon. The County Commissioners have got some of "the boys" rather scared up in regard to working the roads. Some of the cyerspers thought they could do as usual work a day or two and cjulfc?but finally concluded it was the surest way to follow tha instructions given them, which ac? counts for some roads being worked late? ly. We are glad to believe the present Board are men who mean to carry out the law. Mr. Thos. B. Lee. jr., of Columbia, S.C., is visiting his brother, Mr. W. E. Lee. Mr. Lee is a breeder of fine, thorough-bred chickens. He brought a coop of them along when he carue up to Anderson. He will spend the summer in this section. Mr. S. L. Eskew has a fine piece of up? land porn. His wheat crop is said to bo. very fine, alsp. He is a farmer with a heap of energy and good judgment, and it i^ natural to see good props on his farm. Wo saw a fine pieoe of oats on the farm of Mr. J. L. Glenn reoently. His nuccesa shows wht,t can be clone on thin land by I judicious farming. Miss Margaret Bruce, of Walhalla, is visiting relatives neur here. The peach crop was never hotter, but apples arc? almost n failure. Qardoqs, as well as crops, nrp badly in need of rain. 1 ' J^y. LOST?A Red Silk Rimjon Sasu,, on the Public Square, last Saturday. The finder will please hand it in at tho Intel? ligencer office. Fork Items. The farmers are putting in good time, and are about to get the upper hand of Gen. Green. A person can hear the voice of the plowman, as he tries to hurry up the lazy mule and the contrary horse, and some time you will see a man plowing an ox, and using language not found or taught in the Sunday school book, Cotton is looking very badly at this time. A great many had to plant over, and still they have no stand. The cold weather has been very unfavorable and damaging, and at this writing the pros? pects are very gloomy. The corn is look? ing flue at this time. Never was there a better prospect for a good wheat crop. Mr. J. R. Caldwell has the best we ever saw. We have a Debating Society in this sec? tion, meeting evor Saturday night, which is croating great interest throughout this neighborhood. Mr. J. A. Jones, who moved in the FaU of '87 to Sand Mountain, Ala., has return? ed, and says give him old South Carolina. He is willing to spend the balance of his days in his Mother 8tate. We are waiting very anxiously to know what the County Commissioners are going to do in regard to re-building the Iron Bridge. Do we hear them say nothing? But wait for some one else. The delegation that was to meet at An dersonville to arrange for the entertain? ment of Mr. Grady sometime ago was represented by Prof. Bobo, of Hartwell, Ca., and a party of young people from the country, who had a nice time dancing. The pic nie was a failure at Anderson ville on Saturday, the 18th inst., but it was our pleasure to meet two of Townville's gents at a neighbor's and see Mr. Bruce get nervous over "Pigs in the Clover." I Will tell about his biff?sh next time. ? -J Rat. i x\ eul'a Creek Items. We are having some yery dry weather at present, and farmers generally are up with their work. Cotton and corn are looking well for the time of year. Wheat and oats seem to be almost a failure?in? deed, much of it will not be high enough to cut. Mrs. Minnie Simmons, whose husband died a few weeks ago in Arkansas, return? ed to her father's home on last Thursday, where she will make her future home. Neal's Creek has a Farmers' Alliance in a flourishing condition. The members take great interest in it, and meet regularly. The services at this place were well at? tended on last Saturday and Sunday. They were conducted by the pastor, Rev. D.' W. Hiott, who, as usual, preached able and impressive sermons. The weather was fine, and in addition to the usual congre? gation who meet here, there were a num? ber of visitors present. Among them we noticed the fair faces of Misses Brock, Jen nie Shirley and Lou. McGee, of Honea Path; Miss Martin, of Williamston, and Miss Mattie Brown, of Belton. It is need less for us to consume time and space here by saying that such visits are always ap? preciated, especially by the young men of ] our community. Mr, John T. Haynie has purchased the property known as Smith's mill, on Cup? board Creek, where he is prepared to grind good meal at all times. Miss Allie Major spent the past week visiting friends in Williamston.' Maj. J. N. Vandiver returned from Charleston last week, where he carried a drove of beeves. The Intelligencer is the favorite paper in this community, judging from the num? ber read by our people. Our people want pure and chaste reading matter, a paper that upholds high and noble principles, all of which tha Intelligences is noted for doing. V. Epoch. The transition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the life of the individual. Such a remarkable event is treasured in the memory and tbo agency whereby the good bealth has been attained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe their restoration to health, to the use of the Great Alterative and Tonic.
