The store house and stock of goods of
Mr. B. F. Gantt, who lives about six
mi.lea southxicst of Peadh.ton, wf-re de
stroyed by lire last Sunday night. The

dence, and the fire was discovered about
11 o'clock. The fire had then gained suuh
a headway that nothing could be saved
from the bnilding. The safe, however,
went through all right, and the books,
private papers, etc., were naved. The loss
is estimated at about ?1,500. Mr. Gantt is
satisfied that the tire was the work of an

Gantt requests us to return his sincere
thanks to bis neighbors, both white and
colored, for their assistance in helping
him to subdue the flames and save other

which crippled her, and which prevents
her from walking without assistance.

several newspapers, <?nd is well posted in
the ovents of the day. Mrs. Smith has
many triends and relativ throughout

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.

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.

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."

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. For fuller particulars

OBITUARY.
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.

Little Willie, son of J. L. and E. M. Car
tee, of Corner Township, born August 8,

Good News to Sportsmen.
Owing to the recent decline in lead the
I Sullivan Hardware Company, in keeping
with the market, again reduce their price
on Shot to $1.25 -per bag. This is dirt cheap
and can't last long. This is certainly the
time to lay in an ample supply of shot.
In this connection the Sullivan Hardware
Company would say that they are still,
and propose to continue, far ahead with
their special lines, particularly with their
immense and superb stock of Guns,
Sportmen's Goods, Ammunition, &c, and
never can be left on pi ices.
