He thinks his health will be benefited by going to that country. An? derson will /lose a gooa citizen and Ten? nessee will gain one. The report comes from various sections of the County that last Thursday morning, about 10 o'clock, a mysterious roaring sound or mid-air explosion was beard, and it bail caused a good deal of talk. Several persons say they saw a brilliant red light In the skies at the time. The noise was also heard in other sections of the State. In a private letter from our young friend and former.townsman, Rev. A. T. Dunlap, who is now a membaft of the California Conference, he informs ns that he has been returned to the Church at Carpenteria for another year. His good wife has recently presented him with a fine hoy, and we extend our congratula? tions. Mr. H. F. Rice, of Smith County, Texas, is now visiting relatives and old friends in this his native County, all of I -whom are delighted tosoe him ones more. ; He'moved to Texas before the war, and it has been eighteen years since he has vis? ited his old home. The Istelligencsr was glad to have a call from him last Monday. Never send a dolls? away from home, a contemporary says, when the article that the dollar will purchase can be obtained at home. Money is oar financial blood. Its circulation keeps the .body alive. .Bleed that money way from it and soon trade will put on a look of lethargy and inactivity. Always trade at home, l't Is doubly useful. It helps the persons patronized and find its way -to you again. The person who furnishes items to a newspaper, is always a valuable friend to the editor. Many persons hesitate about sending the movement of friends lest the newspaper man -should thick them too anxious to see their names in print. He will think nothing of the kind, out on the contrary he is glad'to get such notes. Many seemingly unimportant items when printed are news to a large number of readers. The engine and tender of the Blue Ridge pasuenger train were derailed about three miles-above Seneca last Thursday evening. The accident was caused by the breaking of a rail, and though the train was going at a fair rate no harm was done except battering the mail car and smash? ing the tender. It is not often that Capt. Billy Smith, -the most accommodating and careful conductor in the R. & D. ser? vice, has anything to happen to his train. Mr. Robert A. McConnell, of Lowndes ville, and Miss Bertie Wood, of Natchez, Miss., were married at the latter place on Wednesday, 16th inst. Both the bride and groom are well known in Anderson, haying resided here several years ago, the former having had charge of the millinery department in the store of Messrs. J. M. McConnell & Co., who did business in the old hotel building at that time. We ex? tend our congratulations to the happy couple. The big smokestack or chimney at the cotton factory fell to the ground last Mon- - day night about ID o'clock. It had reach? ed the height of 125 feet, and would have, been completed Tuesday morning. The downfall was caused by the foundation giving a way. It is fortunate that it fell at the hour named, for some of the workmen might have been killed, or seriously hurt if it had fallen during work hours. The loss will amount to several thousand dollars, and will have to be borne by the contractors. A telegram was received in * the city' Tuesday announcing that Anderson's efficient Postmaster, Mr. C. W.Webb, had been removed and that W. W. Russell, of this County, had been appointed to suc? ceed him. The'news created general sur? prise, as no one was aware that Mr. Rus? sell Was seeking the position. There are no charges against Mr. Webb, and the only cause f?r his removal is tbat be is a good Democrat. It is not known at this writing when Mr. Russell will take charge of the office. The Greenville News, of last Sunday, says: "Catds of invitation are out for the marriage of Miss Nora Brown, of Bel ton, and James A. McDaniel, of this city, in the Baptist Church at Belton on Wednes? day evening, November 6th, at nine o'clock. The marriage will be one of the society events in this part of the State. Mr. McDaniel is a member of the well known firm of McDaniel & McBee, and Miss Brown is a daughter of Mrs- A. L. Brown, of Belton, and is a favorite in Greenville society." Immediately after Rev. A. A. Mar? shall's leoiure in the Court Houte last Monday evening, a meeting of the stock? holders of the Anderson Shoe Factory -was held. The Committees on securing information and subscriptions to the capi? tal stock made their reports, which were very encouraging. It was determined to make application at? once to the Secretary of State for a charter, and the following gentlemen were appointed a board of corporators: W. F. Cox, J, W. Qu?ttle baum, .7. M. Hubbard, W. R. Osborne, R. C. Webb, R. E. Frierson, Dr. R. W. Brown, T. S. Cray ton and C. C. Langston. The enterprise will be pnshed with all the energy possible, and in a short time work will have commenced on the factory. The Pickens Sentinel, of last week, says: On last Sunday night, at Wesley Chapel (colored) in the upper edge of Brushy Creek township, in Anderson county, near the Fiokens line, Henry Murphy killed Bud. Barr by striking him on the head with a stone. He died instantly. The difficulty is supposed to have arisen about a watch chain and a girl. The negro Mur? phy who did the killing, is from this county and has fled It is supposed that he and the girl in question took the mid? night train for Charlotte as they -were seen near Easley a short time-before train time. The body of Barr, the negro killed, was placed in a sohool house noi>- the church, when the coroner of Ander.- n w$b n??tilled and the inquest was held on Monday. Rumor has it that another "coon" is im? plicated in the case. The telegraph has been used to ciroumvert the fleeing trans? gressor. Trial justice Pickens held the inquest, instead of the coroner, who did not arrive. Circuit Court. Court met Monday morning at 10 o'clock, Judge Fraser presiding, and ail the officers and Jurors answering to their names when called. The Juries were soon organized, and, after a very ?h?rt charge from his Honor, the Grand Jury retired. While awaiting the action of the Grand Jury, the Court took up the case of Wil? liam Parkp, charged with house-breaking and larceny, which case was brought over from the June term of the Court. Messrs. Murray ?& Murray appeared for the de? fense, and succeeded in securing an acquit? tal. EdwardJGreen was next tried and con? victed of house-breaking in tbe day time. Wm. S. Brown for the defense. Joe Whitfield was tried for carrying concealed weapons and convicted. No counsel. Oliver Fitzgerald plead guilty of tbe same oflense. The case against Benj. Riley for assault and battery with intent to kill was not prqssid by the Solicitor, the prosecutor wishing to stop tho prosecution. The Grand Jury returned ?'no bill"-In case of State vs. David Wardlaw charged with assault with intent to ravish. Business was resumed on Tuesday morning, and tbe case of Sam Rhodes and Mary Brothers for adaltery was called. The man is a negro, and the woman white. She was out on bail and. being sick, her case was continued, bu^ Rhodes was tried. The testimony developed a most degraded character for both parties, and Rhodes was properly convicted. R. Homer Christopher was convicted of selling whiskey without license Wm. S. Brotrn for the defense The same defen? dant was also convicted of carrying con? cealed weapons. No counsel in this case. Georgo Diokerson was found guilty of larceny of live stock. Breazeale & Long represented him. Henry W. McCnllough plead guilty of carrying concealed weapon. No Bill was found in case of Henry Chancellor, charged with rape. Late in the afternoon the case of State vs. E. D. Wakefiold was taken up, but not finished. Court resumed work on Wednesday morning and the case against ?. D. Wake field was finished. The jury, after being out for some time, brought in a verdict of guilty. A notice of motion for a new trial was at once submitted. The Grand Jury made their presentment and were discharged. There was nothing of public interest in tbe presentment es? cept that the attention of the Court was called to the violation of the law by tbe keepers of bar-rooms in' Anderson, in having screens and painted glass to ob? struct the view from the outside. They also reported the condition of the roads and public offices as good. As we go to press the case of the State vs. J. W. Trowbridge is being tried and will consume the day. ? "And All Went Merry as a Wedding Bell." Never was this more beautifully exem? plified than in the charming entertain? ment which marked the Silver Wedding of our popular and genial friends^ Mr. and Mrs. C. A. .Beed, On Friday evening last. This was a rare occasion, and although the fates denied a "moonlight night," they more than atoned for this lack in the bounty cf their other gifte. As the thieshold was crossed all vestige of tbe gloom outside was lost in the real? ization of rosy light and perfumed air. On entering tbe eye rested upon large fignres in green, signifying the time cele? brated?1884?1889 5 while on every side were lovely banks of beautiful flowers and garlands twining the picture frames. Tbe giiests were received by "Mine host and his gentle lady" in their inimitably cordial manner, which seemed to say, "My castle Is yours while you are in it." Mr. Reed is certainly one of nature's noblemen, and a more generous, warm? hearted, whole-souled gentleman never lived. Time seems only to haye flown over Mrs. Reed with a wing of light, re? flecting each year more happiness and gentle grace in her facBand form. And it was hard, indeed, to realize that twenty five years had passed since she stood a blushing bride beside her young husband, (both of them being "in their teens") at? testing to the truth of Farthenia's beauti? ful definition of love? "Two souls with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one." After salutations and congratulations to the bride and groom, tbe guests disposed themselves through the different rooms, not forgetting to pause and admire the many elegant tokens of love and esteem which had been showered upon the good couple from friends and dear ones far and near, and this surely was another exhibi? tion of the regard la'which they are held, for the gifts were lavish in both number and elegance. ? As at all weddings, the rooms were filled with men that were brave and wo men that were fair, and some of these were more than brave and fair, they were musical as well; aud when to brilliant lights and flower scented air was added bright eyes, laughing lips and music, life, indeed, was "a tale or poetry" that was told by golden hours. Mrs. Helen Ligon (daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reed) delighted all with-the winsome way in which sue readily complied, with request after request for different songs, made peculiarly sweet by her rendition of them, and Mrs. Strickland's superb voice fiUed the roomB with rich melody several times during the evening, as did also the voices of Miss Willis and others who assisted in making this a memorable occasion, Tbe guests were no less charmed by an instrumental selection from one of Anderson's most highly prized pianists, Mrs. J. D. Maxwell. When the magic word "supper" was said, and the guests repaired to the spa cious- room where tbe magnificent feast was spread?ye gods! what a sight met their view. There was not only a bride's cake, but many bride's cakes, and enough ambrosia to have satisfied all of the gods of ancient mythology. And as for angel food, it was fairly beckoning to the bright creatures who were shining out from little heavens of pink, blue and tan-colored draperies all around the room, and the table was ladened with charlotte russe, bon-bons and luscious fruits. For the especial delectation of the "brave men," although the "fair women' did not disdain a dainty morsel or two, was served a meat course, with all of the delicious accompaniments. Festivities and merriment were kept up until "early in the morning," when the guests bade* a reluctant farewell, doubtless many invoking heaven's bless ings upon the bride and groom, and each determining to secure for themselves, if possible, a silver wedding.' Ancient Order of United Workmen. Those who listened to the lecture in the Court' House, last Monduy night by Rev. A. A. Marshall, Grand Foreman of the Ancient Order of United Workmeu for this jurisdiction, pronounce it an excellent lecture- The occasion was the twenty first anniversary of the organization of the Order. J. E. Breazeale, Master Workman of the local Lodge presided, and introduc? ed the speaker, who selected as bis subject, "The position of the Ancient Order of United Workmen in the insurance system of the World." The lecture was full of information and showed research, study and a comprehensive understanding of the insurance Byscem. Beginning at tbe origin of life insurance he traced it to the present time, with its different plans and systems, and showed that it had been reduced to a soienoe. After speaking of the different plans ofj insurance, he gave some interesting infor? mation in reference to tbe A. 0. fJ. W. from which the folio wing extract is taken' But to supply a'place feit to be a necessi? ty in the insurance world, tnere has sprung up a system called coopera? tive insurance, where a number of persons organize together and stipulate that, upon the death of a member, each one will pay into a common fund a cer? tain sum, often in proportion to age. The value of this system is first: That it oper? ates upon the natural premium plan?that is no more is collected from each one in? sured than is absolutely necessary to meet the present demand, so that instead of ac? cumulating a large surplus?of which many companies boast?this 'surplus is left in the pockets of the insured. That is, being a co-operative system, each man gets his insurance at actual cost.. THE CERTAINTY OP PAYMENT. Being co-operative and relying for its next installments upon its policy holders, it can not afford to contest claims. There is also a fraternal feature not to be de? spised, and in the well-ordered ritual and parliamentary methods much that is helpful and instructive I am not here to draw any invidious coa uarisons between our own society and others, but rather to speak of its distinctive features, leaving each one to decide for himself as to its rel? atively value. 1st. A word as to its origin. It was es? tablished in Pennsylvania by J. J- Up child, who was born in North Carolina, lived awhile iu this State, Georgia and Alabama; then before the war moved to Meadville, Penn., where .in 18S8 ho organ? ized the first lodge of A. 0. U. W. The i tar following the Grand Lodge of Penn pylvruiim was organized. Being himself a luicLu-.iic it was at first an effort to organ? ize working men into a society for mutual improvement, and at the same time to pro? vide a fund for the widows and orphans of deceased members. In this respect, at least, ita origin was like that of Masonry and Odd Fellowship, and other charitable or? ganizations?and as for that matter, the Church itself?born among the poor and toiling masses. It soon outgrew the expec? tation of its friends, and received into its fellowship men of all ranlrs and spread over { the whole country from Maine to Califor 1 nia, until now it is the largest co-operative I insurance society in the world, having in force over 215,000 policies and carry ing 430 hundreds of millions of dolla-rs of insu? rance. By way of comparison, let me say nearly as much as is carried by the N. Y. Mutual, 3 times as much as is carried by Mutual Benefit, 2j times as much as is car? ried by the Northwestern, 6 times as much as the Pennsylvania Mutual?all large companies. At the same time it ia about twice as much as the Knights of Honor, about S times the Royal Arcanium. So you see we are no baby. But not only are we the largest co-opeiative insurauce com? pany in the world, we are also tbe cheapest, having tbe lowest death rate. While as I have stated, the average of human life is etsentially uniform, there is, of course, a varying proportion, aceorc?Dg to car? and skill with which a company selects ita risks, so that by taking only good risks, the prob? abilities of life are lengthened or rather the death rate is diminished, and in co-opera? tive insurance this is material, inasmuch as all deaths are paid for by direct assess? ment. And, we have this lower death rate, notwithstanding we are tho oldest corpor? ative company of any importance. During last year our death rate was 9.72 to 1,000, Knights of Pythias (organized in 1877), V6? to 1,000, Knights of Honor (or? ganized in 1S74), 13.9 to 1,000, while other years showed correspondingly to our ad? vantage. So that to those to whom cheap? ness, as woJI as security is an item, I know of no plate where insurance could be bet? ter carried than in the A- O. U- W. Another special feature of our Order to which I call attention, is the separate ben? eficiary jurisdiction, a hereby the funds of each Grand Lodge are kept at home and managed by men who new be known by - ?T- ? I Have Bought a Big Stock, and need a big pile of money, so the Goods must Go ! oLOTZHinsra-i SUITS from $3.00 to $35,00?Men's. Suits from $1.25 to $20.00?in Boys5. $10.00 Suits I can beat the Town.

At some time it saves healthier jurisdictions like our own from the burdens of excessive local death rate. Denver Items. A gentle rain last Friday evening laid the dust, cooled the atmosphere and braced things up generally; We are sorry to announce the sickness of Mr. Doc. Elrod. He has been quite sick for two or three weeks,.but we hope for his recovery soon. Last Thursday forenoon an unusual notse was heard by a great many people, but EO far no one has been able to say definitely what it was. Some think it was an engine burst, and others think it was a meteorolite, or something of the kind. Those who heard it are very generally agreed that it was in a northeasterly direc? tion, and some say they could feel the ground shake. Was it an earthquake ? The indications are that two or three weddings are to be in the near future not far from Denver. Such is life. Oinners are kept busy preparing tbe cot? ton crop for market. Some of them run nearly all night. The traveling gin has got to be-an institution now, and a great many farmers living at a distance from a station? ary gin avail themselves of their services. ?I^Several are talking ofipttending tbe gala week in Charleston.

At the recent municipal election in Indianapolis the Democracy carried President Harrison's ward, with a gain of 248 votes.
