"I Mr. Theodore Smith, of Brushy Creek Township, had. four hogs to be made drunk from the skimmings of molasses, which had soured, one day last week. Alter a time they recovered. They had every-appearance of being dead drunk, staggering and falling about, and finally becoming prostrate and helpless. Mr. T. S. Crayton, Jr., has shown us a Sample of cotton bagging that was manu? factured by the old Pendleton Factory before the war, when Jute bagging was unknown to the farmers. It cost twenty five cents a yard to manufacture it, and was. much-heavier and more substantial than the cotton bagging now in use. Mr. N. 0. Pyles, of Columbia, is now canvassing a portion of Anderson County for the great publishing bouse of B. F. Johnson & Co., taking subscriptions for Dr. Talmage'8 book, "The Pathway of Life."

Wren, who is now in charge of Maxwell's Photograph Gallery. As a photographer Capt. Wren is too well known to need any commendation from us.

Last Saturday morning, about 2 o'clock, the wotchtnan at the Cotton Buyers As? sociation platform discovered a bale of cotton on fire. Ho gave the alarm, and the firemen soon came to bis assistance. The burning bale was removed from tbe platform and soon extinguished. It is supposed that tbe cotton caught fire while being packed at tbe gin that day, and that it took several hours to expowo itself. There were quite a number of Ander? son County's pretty daughters shopping in the city last Monday. A substantial citizen from un adjoining County, who spent the day in the city, was heard to say that he bad secured his wife from Ander? son County, and that if he ever became a widower he would oomo back and get wife No. 2 from our County. Tbe Ander? son County girls can't be excelled in the South. Tbe Atlanta Exposition is now open and will continue so for the next thirty days. The rate of fare from Anderson and return, over tbe R. & D. R. R., is $3.65, provided you buy your tickets on Wednesday. These tickets are good only for five days.

This promises to be a rare treat, and all music-loving and public spirited citizens should see to it that the house be filled to overflowing in go good a cause. Messrs. Cunningham & Bros, are fully prepared for tbe season's business, Laving laid in n big stock of dry goods, groceries, etc., wbicb they are determined to Bell, if low prices will do it.

The remains will be carried to Pendleton where the interment will be made." The new advertisement of the Sylvester Bleckley Co. will bear close reading, as it contains information for every farmer who expects to buy any gorJds this season. This firm has an immense stock of gen? eral merchandise, which is being offered at wonderfully low prices, and we advise you to give them a call. These gentlemen are determined not to be undersold, and every article you buy of them will come fully up to what it is represented. On Wednesdav afternoon, 2nd lnst., at 5 o'clock, Mr. It. C.

Both the bride and groom are of this city, and the Intel? ligences joins their many friends in wishing them a long life of happiness and prosperity. Again we would repeat that we do not publish original articles without, tbe true name of the writer accompanies them. This is an old established rule of all newspapers. Of course the real name of the writer is known only to the editor, and will not be published with the article, unless it is so desired. The authors of "Good night. Sweetheart," and of "My Love and Thine," should have sent their real names along with their poems. The annual meeting of tbe stockholders of the Port Royal <fc Western Carolina Bailway Co. will be held at the office of tbe Georgia Railroad Bank, at Augusta, Ga., on Tuesday, November 5th next, at 11 o'clock a. m.

Burriss and C. J. Boggs. The Greenville Newa of Sunday, in re? porting the Court proceedings of Satur? day, says: "On the application of Adam C. Welborn, attorney for one of the par? ties to a suit in Anderson County, Judge Fr?ser issued a rule against Sheriff W. L. Bolt, of that County, requiring him to show cause why he had refused to serve a summons and complaint in the_ action. The question that has long been unsettled, the right of a sheriff to refuse to serve a summons and complaint when the papers are not accompanied with the cost of serving. Sheriffs in different counties regulate the question to suit themselves. Some of them do not reqnl.ro- their costs in advance and wait until thess cases are decided. Others require the costs ih ad? vance and there is no statutory provision regulating tbe conduct of the sheriffs. M r. Welborn sent the papers in the action to Sheriff Bolt and he refused to serve them on tbe ground that his costs were not paid in advauc. Tbe members of tbe bar all over the State hold different opinions on the question. The case will probably go to the Supreme Court." Just before going.to press the sad news reaches us that Rev. W. A. Hodges is dead. His death occurred at his home in Savannah Township last Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock. He was about .fifty years of age, and for a long time ht,s been afflicted with that dreadful disease, consumption. Mr. Hodges was born and reared at Cokesbury, in Abbeville County. When quite a young man he married a daughter of the late Baxter Hardy, of this County. In 1862 he joined the Conference of the M. E. Chnrch, South, where he served most faithfully for a number of years. On account of feeble health, be was forced to withdraw from active duty in tbe Confer? ence, but continued to work for the Church as a local preacher, as long aa he was able. Mr. Hodges was well known throughout this County, and he was highly esteemed by every acquaintance. Truly, a good man has fall?n and he has gone to his long home to reap tbe reward of a well-spent life. His wife and four children survive him. His remains will be interred at Bethesda Church this (Thursday) after? noon, at 2 o'clock, the funeral services to be conducted by Rev. J. Walter Dlckson and Rev. J. F. Anderson. The announce? ment of his death will bring sorrow to a wide circle of friends. The Sad Death ot a Most Excellent Lady Editor Intelligencer : Our commu? nity and Church at Little River have been called on repeatedly to mourn over some departed loved one within the past fortnight. The first was Mrs. Nancy El - gin, the oldest member of our Church, who died of paralysis, September 25. The next, was Mrs. Essie Ellis, who wss also much advanced in years. She died, per? haps, of appoplexy, September 27. The next was little Gonway, son of John T. and Jennie Bryant, a bright little boy of two years and nine months; the only child of the household. He died of dip theria, Oct. 1st. Tbe last, and saddest of all, was Mrs. M. Amanda Robinson, wife of Dr. John A. Robinson, who, requiring tbe need of a dentist, sent for Doctor J. Q. McDavid, of Due West. S. C., on Thursday morning, October 3rd. The dentist having extracted two teeth with tbe use of local anas the tics, which applications failing to prove effect? ive, Mrs. Robinson requested her hus? band to administer chloroform, which he at iirst positively declined to do. Not that she, Mrs. Robinson, had any heart trouble, but he knowing that chloroform was not always safe, as an anasthetic, thought best to object, in which opinion Dr. SlcDavid coincided. However, at the repeated request of his wife, Dr. Rob? inson, who had administered chloroform to her several times during her married life, yielded to her request and administer? ed about one drachm of chloroform. In a very short time, noticing that it was hav? ing an ill effect, they (Drs. McDavid and Robinson) did all that they could with tbe assistance of friends to resuscitate her, but although they continued their efforts for more than an hour, all proved una? vailing. The sad intelligence was a terrible shock to the whole community, and in a very Bhort while a great many friends had gathered to sympathize with and try :o console tbe heart-broken Doctor and his stricken family. Sister Robinson was interred at Little River Church, of which she was a most active and beloved mem? ber, on the fifth inst., Revs. J. S. Murray and D. W. Uiott, former pastors, assisted the present pastor, Eld- R. Hawkins, in the funeral exercises. A very large con? gregation of friends wore present. Sister Robinson was also president of the Wo? man's Mission Society of Little liivor Church, and teacher in the Sabbal.h School. Verily, the Lord hath dealt sorely, yet graciously with us, for we niournr not as those wbo have no hope. H. D. Hawkins. ?

Resolutions Adopted by Mountain Creek Alliance. We, the Mountain Creek Farmers' Alli? ance, met and in session have passed the following as the sense of the body: That we do deplore any clash with the Merchants or Cotton Buyers Association, and have tried to avoid it, but as they forced the issue on us in refusing to buy cotton Weighed on the Alliance scales, and also to buy cotton from Alliance men, it is Resolved, That we, the Mountain Creek Alliance, do pledge ourselves that we will not buy from or Bell to any merchant who does so, and we earnestly ask all Alliance men to do tbe same. Resolved, That all of our cotton shall be weighed on the Alliance scales, and if the buyer wants it moved he can do so; we will not. : Brethren, we have come to stay; be ! firm and acquit yourselves like men. R. B. Dean, President. ? California engineers have accom? plished tbe difficult task of lifting tbo Feather River, a fast flawing stream, fifty feet, and carrying it for more than half a mile in an artificial bed at that height above its old channel. It has been ac? complished in a little less than a year. The object was to drain tbe river near Oroville in order to reach the very rich gold deposits believed to exist in its bed. The promoters of the great enterprise are chiefly Englishmen. ? Mr. Spurgeon's admirers in London are disturbed by a rumor that be is seri? ously contemplating retirement from tbe pulpit. 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 the agency whereby the good health has been attained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so much in heard in praise of Electric Bitters- So many feel they owe their restoration to health, to j the use of the Great Alterative and Tonic. If you are. troubled with any disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or I short standing you will surely find relief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at 50c. and $1 per bottle at Hill Bros.'

The rush for Goods has come, and our Store is daily crowded with delighted customers. Our sales for the month of Sep? tember have been twice as much as for the same month last year. WHY P WHY P WHY P Because our House has a regular line of trade, our customers know that we can and do sell them Goods as low, and even lower, than any other House can possibly afford to do, and that we treat them right every time. This thing of selling you Goods at and below cost isv all BOSH, and is only used in advertising to take in the unwary. Don't be deceived by such advertisements, as the man who has such stuff printed has probably a lot of shoddy Goods to work off, and you don't want THEM at any price. BEWARE OF SHODDY GOODS! A merchant in this Town was once asked the question how he could sell an article for less than cost, and his reply was frankly: "Well, I make it up by charging ray customers more on other articles." Yes, often three times what the goods are worth. Have to do it to make the average all right. A Lady from the country was looking at some Shoes in our Store the other day, which were being sold to a friend of her's, and she remaked that she had been charged considerably more at another place in Town for Shoes inferior in value, and that she would make it a rule hereafter to only trade with a good old reliable and long established House like ours. She acknowledged her Mistake, and is going to Profit-by it! Question P Question ? Question ? Here is tlie Answer! Our Store is open 3G5 days in the year, Sundays only excepted, (when we go to Church for devotional purposes,) to furnish our customers with Goods at less than others can afford to sell them, because we have the experience and facilities for handling the goods, and our expenses are less, a3 we do not hire people as BLOW HORNS. Our advice to you is that when you come to Town to buy Goods, don't buy until you see us. Don't take for granted what the Blow Horns say, who are hired to blow, but look around and do the best you can. It will always pay you to drop in and see us. We are quite confident that we are able'to do all we promise, and will agree to duplicate any bill of goods you can buy in this City, no matter from whom bought. But we wish to most emphatically impress your mind, and the minds of all the people of Anderson and adjacent Counties?big, little and small?with the idea that we can sell you goods as cheap, and even cheaper, than you can buy them anywhere, and in making this statement boldly and strong, we except nobody? don't care where they come from or where they are going to. That Carload of the Celebrated Tennessee Wagons has just come in ! And we can now give you a better Wagon for less money than you can get anywhere else, because the Southern Freight Trust has just bursted, and we got a very low rate of freight on them, and will give you the benefit of it. Don't you buy a new BUGGY or CARRIAGE without seeing us. Got anything you want in that line. OUR NEW SALES STABLES Are now in course of erection?Corner McDuffie and Benson Streets?and we will soon be able to supply you with Horses yud Mules. Don't sail to come and see us. Your visits to our Store are highly appreciated, and we want you to come early and often or as late as you please. Very truly your obedient servants, _SYLVESTER BLECKLEY CO For Sale. j PLAI1T FACTS!
