son Shoe Factory has received its commis?
sion to open books of subscription to the
capital stock, a notice of which appears in
another column. This is going to be a
big enterprise, and every man in Anderson
County should be a stockholder. Enter
your name at once as a stockholder.
In another column we publish a notice
of the death of Hon. James Edward Cal
honn. Last Saturday his remains were
brought to Anderson on a special train
over the P. R. & W. C. R. R. Here they
were transferred to a special train on the
C. &.G. R. R., and conveyed to Pendleton,
where they were interred in the Episcopal
Churchyard late Saturday afternoon.
Last Tuesday morniog a gold.watcb,
the property of Miss Come Brown, was
stolen from the mantle-piece in the parlor
of Mr. A. L.Welch's residence. Suspicion
at once rested upon a colored servant girl,
Roan Smith. The police were notified,
and in a short time the girl was arrested
and the watch restored to its owner. The
girl confessed to having stolen the watch.
Did yon ever ask a man the time just
after he had inspected his watch and put
it in his packet? If so, did you ever re?
ceive an answer before the man pulled his
watch ont and took another look at it?
Just why it is that this is done it would
be difficult to explain; bnt if you will ask
yonr friend to tell yon the hour next time
you observe him scrutinize his watch and
snap the lid, you will find that he will
take another look at the dial before giv?
ing an answer.
Last Monday in the Court Houae four of
Anderson Connty's oldest citizens were^
noticed sitting on the same bench at the
same time, as follows: Mr. Jas. McLees,
aged 82 years', Mr. John Cliokscales, aged
32; Mr. James Harris, aged 78 ? Mr.
Alex. Campbell, aged 78. Near by also
sat Mr. John Harper, who is 81 years of
age. All of these gentlemen are still hale
and hearty, and the Intelligencer hopes
that they may each live to celebrate their
one bundi eth anniversary.
Mr. 0. A. Bowen, of the "Bivoll Stock
Farm," near Pendleton, exhibited a heard
of his fine Holstein Cattle at the Georgia
State Fair, which was held at Macon last
week, and, as usual, captured a number of
premiums. He secured the first premium
on the herd, on best cow, best heifer and
best young bull, and second premium on
aged bull and young bull. He alsn wop.
the premium in the milk and butter con?
test. This speaks well for Mr. Bo wen's '
cattle, for he bad a large number of ex?
hibitors to compete with.
Messrs. Simpson, Reid..& Co. have
moved back to their old stand on the cor?
ner of the Hotel Cniquola, but their new
quarters are quite different from their old
room. Indeed, they now have one of the
handsomest store room* to be found in
the State, and they will be better prepared
than over before to meet the wants of
their many friends and customers, who
should pay them a visit at once and see
the beautiful workmanship on the inte?
rior of the store. Lookout for their new
advertisement next week.
The Walhalla Courier, of la^t week, says :
"Miss Kate Holleman has gone to Ander?
son where we learn she will spend the
winter teaching school at Moffattaville.
She has taught with much success several
schools in Oconee since her graduation
from the Walhalla Female College three
years ago. It is to be regretted that she
did not remain in charge of some good
school in our County, for we can ill afford
to part with such an efficient teacher.
We commend her to the-good people of
onr sister County as a cultured Christian
lady and capable teacher."
The fourth attempt was made to barn
Brick Range last Monday night. The fire
occurred in Mr. Lester Carlisle's store, and
was discovered about 12J o'clock. The
alarm was sounded, but Policeman Cum
mings extinguished the fire before any
damage was donei It was the work of an
incendiary, who gained entrance to the
store-room by breaking a pane of glass
from the back window and crawling
through it. The fire was burning on the
floor near the fire-place. Mr. Carlisle had
$82.15 stolen from his money drawer by
the incendiary. The policemen are using
every effort to find the guilty party.
President Harrison has designated
Thursday, 28th inst., asa National Thanks?
giving day, and we hope it will be observ?
ed by a general suspension of business
throughout this section. Our people have
been wonderfully blessed this year, and
they have much to be thankful for. The
day, therefore, should be appropriately ob?
served, by holding religmi ? .services, and
returning thanks to Him I'lrmn whom all
blessings flow." We refer the matter to
the pastors of our city Churches, and at the
same time suggest that there be a total
suspension of business in Anderson dur?
ing the day, and that we have a union
Thanksgiving service in one of our
Churches.
Mrs. Kesia Pickens, the beloved wife of
Col. Thos. J. Pickens, died at her home
near Pendleton, on Friday, 1st iust., after
an illness of two weeks, aged 79 years. On
Sunday her remains were interred at the
Old Stone Churoh, Rev. Dr. Adger con?
ducting the funeral services. Mrs. Pickens
had long been a faithful member of the
Presbyterian Church, and was a most esti?
mable, Christian lady. If she bad survived
until next April she and her aged husband
would have celebrated the GOth anniversary
of their marriugo, and during all that time
they have resided on the same place where
the soul of thegood wife took its departure
to its eternal home. A husband and six
sons and lour daughters are left to cherish
her memory.
The Republicans of the city held a meet?
ing Monday nlgbt and passed a series of
resolutions protesting against the appoint?
ment of W. W. RusshII as Post-Mu9ter of
Anderson, and also against the removal of
the present incumbent. C. W. Webb. The
resolutions state that Mr. RuRsell is not a
resident of Anderson, and, under tho law,
is not eligible to the office. They
further state that Mr. Webb has discharged
his duties faithfully, and that if a change
in the office is to be made they desire a
Republican to secure it, but not until Mr.
Webb's term expires. Tlie resolutions also
ask that a Postoffice Inspector be sent
here to investigate the matter. The reso?
lutions have been forwarded to Washing?
ton. Mr. Russel's appointment husbetn
withheld for the present, and it is the gen?
eral opinion that he will never receive his
commission. Nine-tenths of the business
men favor Mrs. J.-R. Cochran being ap?
pointed to the position, if Mr. Webb is not
re-appuiuted, and have signed a petition
to that effect. The matter rests in this
ahape, and it may be several months yet i
before it ia settled.

A Delightful Entertainment.
A large and appreciative audience
turned out on "Wednesday evening of last
week to witness the Concert given by a
number of the young ladies and gentle?
men of this city in the chapel of the P. M.
L for the benefit of the Anderson Library
Association. The programme was varied
and exceedingly interesting, and its ren?
dition would have been creditable to pro?
fessionals. The following programme
was rendered:
Vocal Duet?"The Pilot Brave"?
Messrs. W. N. and G. A, Miller.
Vocal Solo?"Robin Adair"^-Mrs; P.
Gurganus.
Vocal Duet?"Listen to Our Tale of
Woe"?Miss Willis and Mr. G. A. Miller.
Vocal Solo?"Queen of the Night"?
Mrs. J. E. Peoples.

Patrick.
Vocal Solo?"Italian Song;" repertoire,
"The Woodland Fairy"?Miss Willis.
Vocal 8olo^-"Tbe Waiting Heart"?
Mrs. A. G. Means.
Vocal Solo?"Boston Harry;" reper?
toire?"The Dude"?Mr. W. N. Miller.
Vocal Solo?"At Length a Brilliant
Ray"?Mrs. P. Gurganus.
Vocal Lanciers.
Auld Lang Syne.
The success of the occasion is due large?
ly to the superior taste and judgment, as
well as the energetic efforts of Mrs. J. M.
Patrick, who first suggested the enter?
tainment and who worked hard to make
it, as it proved to be, a most delight?
ful one. She was ably assisted by Miss
Eola Willis, of Charleston.
We think the entertainment would bear
repetition.

Tho case against J.' W. Trowbridge oc?

returned by the Jury. The attorneys in
the case were Solicitor Ansel for the State,
and Messrs. Wells & Orr of Greenville,
G. E. Prince and W. S. Brown for the
defense. The case was ably managed on
both sides, and the arguments were unus?
ually good.
At the close of this case the case of State
ys. Tally Burts, Alex. Holloway and Da?
vid Rosamond was tried. This case was
for the burning of Mr. Charlie Lewis'

This concluded the Sessions' business,
after which the Common Pleas was
opened, but it being Saturday afternoon
no cases were tried.
Monday morning the Court of Common
Pleas resumed its work, but very little
was accomplished beyond passing a few
orders.
Court of Common Pleas met Tuesday
morning, and took up the case of Sherard
& Leroy aguinst McCully, Cathcart & Co.
This is a somewhat foinoua case, this being
the third trial, the result in the two former
trials being a mistrial. The Plaintiffs
were represented by Messrs. Benet <fc Ca
son, of Abbeville, and B. F. Whitner,
and the Defendants by Wells & Orr, and
Murray, Brezeale & Murray. The case was
not concluded till Wednesday morning,
when it went to the Jury.
At the close of this case, the case of J.
H. Morgan vs. W. L. Bolt, sheriff was
taken up, and was not concluded at the
time we went to press. Dixie Williams,
of Greenville for the Plaintiff, Wells &
Orr, Brown & Tribble for the Defendant.
The Civil Docket is very heavy, and will
hardly be completed this week. Judge
Fraser hau made a very firm impression
on, not only the members of the Bar and
officers of the Court, but on the public
generally.
A 'Talk with Capt. Strlbllng.
For some time past the question of es?
tablishing a creamery at Pendleton has
been agitated by a number of the pro?
gressive farmers and stock breeders in and
around that section. It was proposed to
organize a Company to operate the enter?
prise, but the effort was not a success.
Among the most prominent agitators of
the enterprise was Capt. J. C. Stribling,
the energetio proprietor of "Hampshire
Farm." A few days ago Capt. Stribling
was in the city and visited the Intelli?
gence!; office. During an interesting
conversation wo learned that be had de?
cided to establish a creamery on bis own
account, and in tho future to give more
attention than ever before t i his dairy and
stock farm.
He has purchased a creamery outfit in
Vermont of a capacity of forty gallons per
day, and it is now being placed in posi?
tion. Within the next sixty days he will
have it in operation.
The Captain also told us of a new ar?
rangement, of his own invention which he
has completed. He terms it a "milking
parlor." It is a small building, 10x22 feet,
is conveniently located between the cow
barns, and is used for milking purposes
exclusively. In this "parlor" are two
milking stanchions, where two cows can
be milked at the same time. These stan?
chions are provided with "aute voiding
attachments/' a sort of clasp that is drop?
ped down across the spine and flank of
the cows and effectually prevents them
from dropping filth upon the floor while
in die lumdiog, which is kept as clean
ami mat, comparatively speaking, a? a
parlor, and is entirely free from the foul
odor that pol utes the milk when milking
ia done in a filthy place.
In speaking of the best food for produc?
ing gilt-edged but-er, the Captain said the
food that gi ves the quick, aromatic flavor
at this season is equal portions of corn
and peas ground together, and just
enough of wheat bran mixed in to open
up this meal. He does not feed cotton
seed in any form for making butter.
As to the artificial coloring of butter,
Captain Stribling is bitterly opposed to it.
He says that, everything else being equal,
color in butter is indicative of fine quality
as much so in butter as it is in ripe, mel?
low fruit. Therefore, artificial coloring
is a deception, and to that extent a fraud.
Artificial coloring was not practiced until
the advent of gilt-edged Jersey and Gurn
sey butter upon the market, when it be?
came necessary to color poor or common
butter in order to compete with gilt-edged
butter.
Capt. Stribling baa for years been ship?
ping his butter to distant markets, where
he receives a fancy price for it. He has a
standing order for every pound of it, and
cannot supply the demand. The estab?
lishing of his creamery will enable him
to increase his supply, and even then we
do not believe he will be able to supply
the demand.
This creamery will be the first estab?
lished in tho State, and we predicts big
ftiecess for it

A Live Jeweler In n Live Town.
Under the above caption, tue Manufactu?
ring Jeweler, published at Providence. R. I.,
says:
In no place in the "New South" is there
such an example of phenomenal progress
and prosperity as in Anderson, 8. C. Until
very recently this smalJ town was little
better than an overgrown village, but it
recently and suddenly sprung into a vigo
rious, healthy and lively town. From a
dreamy, quiet, slow-going, old cotton cen?
tre, she has leaped into a commercial centre
of marvellous activity. New buildings and
manufactories are going up all around. A
very elegant, large and handsomely fur?
nished hotel, capable Qf accommodating
ninety guests, is just on the point of com?
pletion. Last, but by no means least, is
the change of store, lately effected by the
jewelers of the town, Messrs, J. M. Hub
bard & Bro., although their late store was
an exceedingly nice one, and in every way
suited to the trade of the town, have recent?
ly moviid into a much larger and more
commodious one and right in the improved
commercial centre of the place. The new
store is one of the finest in the South, very
handsomely fitted up with solid mahogany
show, wall and counter cases, making a
very pleasing and fine effect. This store
contains one of the most complete, full and
handsorr est average stocks your correspon?
dent has ever seen.
An Interesting and Deserving Orphanage
The Thornwell Orphanage, in Clinton,
S. C , though under Presbyterian care, is
open to children of any State and any
fath. Its seventy six inmates, (soon to be
one hundred) are from Maryland to Texas
and from seven different denominations.
The orphans are not only given a good
education, but are also taught all domes?
tic work and several trades. Their labors
in the kitchen, laundry, farm and work?
shops largely reduce the cost of support
which is about $5 a month for each child,
this including every expense.
The support comes from the charitable.
We suggest to our Christian public that

would remind the public generally, and
the farmers of Anderson County particu?
larly, that among the many reforms
I brought about by them in prices along
their line, is the great reduction on the
"Boy Dixie" Plows. Former price $3 50,
present price offered by Sullivan Hard?

recent advances in prices of the iron pro

reminder, merely to show what the Sulli?

to demonstrate what they will do if given
a fair showing. They ask for no favors;
simply a fair, honest trial in the great bat?
