The loss is estimated at about ?1,500. Mr. Gantt is satisfied that the tire was the work of an incendiary, as there had beeu no fire about the building during the day.

A Beautiful Diopliiy. 1 The Sawing Machine Art Exhibit at Mr C. A. Reed's establishment on North Main Street is pronounced by.each and every visitor to be the handsomest and most artistic ever seen in Anderson. The display is in charge of Mr. and Mis. H. C. Covey, of Orango, N. Y., the homo office of the New Home Sowing Machine Co., both of whom are expert machine operators. The mauy beautiful pieces of work on exhibition were done by. them on the New Home Machine, and they take great pleasure in showing and explaining how it is done. We have had the pleasure of inspecting the beautiful exhibit, and we feel our ina? bility to do justice to it. Among the many new features and do signs is an exquisite pair of embroidered portieres in rope silk, in the long Ken? sington Btitch. " The design, a large "Con? ventional," with leaves in rope silk and Bcroll in Cinderella woik, is beautiful. Rope silk scrolls and metal galoon lattice? work, over which trails gracefully a "hop vine," Is by some pronouueed superior to any other in the collection. All around the eye is charmed with the beautiful collection of embroidered por? tieres, silk and satin hangings,-lambre? quins and toilet articles. Upon easels are presented handsome pictures, which at? tract universal attention. "Washington crossing the Delaware," and one or two other pictures are wonderful, the colors blending and looking as beautiful as if done by an artist's brush. Every lady in Anderson should call and see the display. Mr. Reed extends a cordial welcome to all, and he and his courteous assistants delight in showing visitors the beautiful display. The rooms will be open to-day (Thursday) from 12 m. to 3 p. m , and throughout the entire day to-morrow (Friday). Musio is rendered at intervals during the day for the entertainment of visitors. During our visit to the rooms the visitors bad the pleasure of listening to some most excellent music by Mrs. J. D. Maxwell, Mrs. R S liigon and Miss Virginia Ev? ans, three of Andorson's most accom? plished pianists. To Onr Business Men. Editors Intelligencer: The impor? tance of securing better railroad facilities for Anderson cannot be over-estimated. Our city is growing, and will continue to do bo, but her advancement cannot be so rapid as we all desire with her present rail? road facilities. Our business men, both as individuals and in their representative ca? pacities, should unite on some method by which to secure these much needed im? provements. Greenville is moving in her own interests in this matter, and it will not do for Anderson to be a laggard in a matter of such vital importance to herpresentand future welfare. It is time we take some action on the matter. JLet us move togeth? er. Let the City Council, the Board of Trade, and our bnsiness men, all unite in a petition, or in any other manner that seems advisable, and work, and keep on working, until we shall have accomplished the end so much desired. - We can help our? selves if we will, and it remains to be seen if Anderson's business men are the shrewd, pushing men of business they aregenerally regarded, or whether, content with what they have accomplished, they will be will? ing to lag behind in the race for business. Citizen. Honea Path Items. Quite a fine drove of hogs arrived here last Friday. They are selling at five cents per pound. Mr. C. E. Harper is going into the liv? ery stable business here Rev. A. C.

We hope that our people will make it indeed a day of Ibauksgiving unto the Lord for all his kindness shown, and that we will not forget the poor, but contribute some? thing, that tbey, too, may feel happy and thankful. Pop. Holland's Store Items. This community was saddened on last Saturday morning at the announcement of tbe death of Mr. James T. Hanks, which occurred the night before from meningitis. Mr. Hanks was an upright, honorable citizen, and his place will be hard to fill The writer has known him for a number of years, and can say, with? out hesitation, that an unpretentious, kiud-hearted, good man has gone to bis reward. His remains were interred at Ebenezer tbe following day. There is a considerable amount of sick? ness at present in this community. None dangerously ill that we know of. Mrs. M. W. Gillespie, who has been quite sick, we are glad to know is im? proving. Mr. W. L Dean, one of our most sub? stantial neighbors, has sold out and will move to the vicinity of Deans, S. C.

Miss S. J. McClain has taken up an eight-mouths school at Shady Grove school bouse- Notwithstanding the open? ing was anything but flattering, she is moving on smoothly. Her roll of pupils, however, is small. What is the matter, friends? We have a good teacher, why not uphold her in sending your children? Y.tti i.now I havn't any to send, or I would he sure to patronize such a fine teacher. Mrs. Henry Caldwell, who \\e men? tioned as being very low some time ago, we are glad to stace has about recovered. Mrs. Mary,Reed, an old and much re? spected lady of this section, i9 very sick. Some doubts of her recovery are enter? tained. Mrs. Reed is one among tbe old? est persons in tbe County. We hope for her a speedy recovery, and may many more years of usefulness be her portion. Mrs. Mettie, wife of Mr. R. V. Dyar, is also very low. We hope she may be soon restored to her usual health again. Our people will observe Thanksgiving Day by having religious services next Thursday. The public is cordiully invited to attend. We have great cause to be thankful. There was no preaching at Anderson, ville Church ;he 3rd Sunday, as tbe weather was so unfavorable. Hut despite the rain a few met at the Church and had Sunday School. Tbe Church has called Rev. W. H. King to supply theui another year, but bo hasn't give them an answer yet. I will just say to Bro.

An encouraging feature in the crop re? ports from the different neighborhoods is the creditable record of msny of the ten? ants. For instance W. A. Neal has a col? ored tenant who will make this year about forty bales of cotton to two mules, with over one hundred bushel? corn. Many of the tenants in. this and other neighborhoods will make on an average from ten to fifteen bales of cotton to the horse, with corn enough for man and horse. This creditable record of the ten? ants may be attributed somewhat to the stimulus of the Alliance. In this noble institution landlord and tenant come together for mutual counsel and protec? tion. And, as little as we may think of it, it is this feature of the organization that has helped to give it such wonderful power and influence. It is a banding together in one band all who are interested in the tilling of the soil, and if they stick together their influence will be well nigh irresistible in every reasonable and com? mon Bense demand. But we have a sam? ple of cropping this year from a small landholder in the Piercetown neighbor? hood, which is equal to the best. We hear that Elford Pilgrim, of Piercetown, has made this yeir, with two mules, thirty bales of cotton and throe hundred bushels of corn. Mr. Pilgrim has a flat? tering history as a successful farmer, which is well worthy of imitation. Some years ago he bought a piece of land for ?1,400, paying half down, which be bad laid by for that purpose from previous earnings. He has paid or! the Balance due on his farm, and has a surplus of money on hand which he loans out fo his less fortunate neighbors. Every tiller of the soil ought to own a house, if it be but a Email one, and then he can imbibe the spirit of the poetic verse, "Breathes there a man with soul so dead, Who never to himself bath said, This is my own, my native land." It is these small holdings of land in Germany and France which gives theEO two nations such prestige among the na? tions of the world. The tendency in this country is the reverse, and in the line of English and Irish landlordism. The con? centration of land and wealth in the hands of n few, making the laborers and tenants rather serfs than free born American citi? zens is greatly to be deplored, and is the first step in the decline of the republic, How to prevent any further progress in this downward course is the groat ques? tion to be solved. Ah income tax would modify the evil, und prohibiting aliens and corporations from owning any more land than is absolutely necessary for the operation of a lawful business, would also help to io:nid the threatened catas? trophe if it dnus nut prevent it. These labor and currency questions Involve the life of the republic, and all other ques? tions are subordinate to these. Democratic and Republican papers alike are iu'rniyhing their readers with criticisms of the recent elections, from a partizan standpoint, which are really amusing to an intelligent and well-in? formed mind. They are both wide of the mark, and the real solution is to be found midway between these extreme views. These sudden changes in local elections from one to the other of the two old par? ties is a sure indication that the masses of the voters are dissatisfied with both, and unless they soon mend their ways in the administration i>f governmental affairs, they will both be consigned to their polit? ical graves, to bo arij-'plantod by a fresher and more vigorous party, whose motto will be '?a Government of the people, by the people, Ai,d for the people." ruther than a Government for bankers and bondholders. So look out, ye old party hacks, for there is a drop iu the pathway. T. H. R. A Social Festive Occasion. Editors Intelligencer : It was our fortune to. receive, and our pleasure to accept, an invitation to a social assem? blage at the hou3e of Dr. R. G. Witber spoon on Tuesday, Novembep the 5th. The occasion was a joint celebration of the tin wedding of the Doctor and his good wife; and, also, the reception of Mr. John B. Anderson (Mrs. Witherspoon's broth? er) and his bride to the family hearth? stone. The day was a lovely one. A decade of years ago this day there was a festive time for a goodly company at the house of Mr. Thomas and Mrs. Eu? genia Anderson. The occasion was the wedding of Dr. Witherspoon and Misa Eugenia E. Anderson. The ten years that have rolled by since then have been busy and successful ones to the Doctor and his wife. While time has rolled he has borne his age and labors well. His wife, the beautiful bride of ten years ago, has ripened into the dignified, elegant matron. An only son blesses their union. Time has, indeed, dealt lightly with her. The fino personal ap? pearance and rosy hue of health that were her's as a bride, are, as yet, her own. Sin? gularly beautiful as a bride, she is elegant hs a matron. The guests assembled at about |10 to 11 a. in., and passed the time in pleasant Hocial converse. Some grouped around the family hearthstone, others gathering in circles in the balmy, outdoor atmos? phere, as fancy dictated to each particular guest. At about 2 p. m. (wo did not note the time very carefully) the hour came, and with it a signal. The guests re? sponded promptly and surrounded a table well crowded with substantial and delicacies, prepared in such a way us might have prompted solicitous mothers with daughters to educate, to inquire at what female institute at the present day, with its attendant culinary department, they could acquire like proficioncy. At that place, though busy as we are wont to bo at such places, we were brought face to face with a pair of grooms and a pair of brides, or if you prefer that wo so word it, two recently married couples. Man boasts not for himself the beauty of the "human face, divine." Honce, of these grooms we are utterly mum, though a jolly bachelor friend of ours in years gone by used to remark that it took an ugly mm to win a beautiful woman. But tJie.se brides?well, the Island tf Tes'jan, in the olden time, was celebrated for ;he excollentx' of its wine and the beau? ty of its women. That diniug-ballmight have tuken rank, except wo suspect Mis W. of being a tee-totaler, or templar, or Rechobite, or at least a stubborn prohibi? tionist. We had no opportunity to judge whether tho wine might be Tosbian, Fal lesion, Rhenish, or what. Nevertheless, however like to Tesbas otherwise, those two grooms and a brace of preachers, (four had been invited) and many other individuals present proceeded to prove their appreciation of the viands. Those preachers discussed, and it was not elec? tion nor predestination that occupied their time, but about as if they bad to make their own marks and then account for the work that should have been done by their defaulting brethren, so that they finally retired from the place with their aderdupois (not low, anyway, for we beard one of them say that bis was one hundred and seventy, and the other said two hundred and twenty) by no means diminished. The grooms and other parties present w<?ro likewise attentive to matters in band. The hour of dining ended, the guests began to think of home, The day waned, the guests departed, the twilight came, and the recording angel registered the day "with the years beyond the flood." M A Scrap of Paper Saves H?r 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.

A gloom overshadowed the people of the vicinity of Hopewell Church on the afternoon of the 20th inst., when it was announced that Mrs. Josie E. Vandiver was no more. Although the people were living in daily expectation of such intelli? gence, yet when the intelligence came as a fact, the hearts of all were saddened with a sense of bereavement. It was so, a bright light had gone out in a happy home, in the Church, in the community. The earthly career of Mrs. Vandiver was short?being born September 1st, 1861, a little more than twenty-eight years in length?but earth was made better because of that short stay. Of her it was said that she was a good child, and afterwards that, she was a lovely girl. In 187G she gave her heart to Jesus and was baptized into the fellowship of Hopewell Church by Rev. E. R. Carswell, Jr. She adorned this profession by a consistent and active Christian life- She was always at Sunday School, always knew her lessons, and always ready to help ber Superintendent and pastor in every good work. December 2nd, 1880, she became the wife of Mr. C. J. Vandiver. Into this new home she bore the same Christian graces and virtues that had adorned her previous life. That hope was bright and hopeful and happy. Daily she offered herself upon the altar of self-denial and self-sacri? fice that her husba.nd and little ones might be comfortable and bappy. Her remains were followed by a long train of weeping friends to Neal's Creek Church on Friday following, where, at 11 o'clock a. m., appropriate services were conducted by Rev. B. M. Pack, after which all that was mortal of our deceased sister was committed to the grave. Yes, she is dead, but she lives still. She lives amid the brightness of God's glory. She lives in the memories and hearts of all who knew ber. She lives in the unan? swered prayers she left before her Father's throne. Jesus has., no doubt, said already I of her as he did of Mary : "She did what she could." May Heaven's blessings rest upon her sorrowing husband and children. J. M. H. Little Willie, son of J. L. and E. M. Car tee, of Corner Township, born August 8, 1887, and died November 2,1889. "Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to week." Good News to Sportsmen.
