Fowler's Livery Stable, on Whitner street, and stated that he was representing an Atlanta house, was going to canvass Anderson County, and wanted to hire a horse and buggy. He inquired the rates per day for the horse and buggy, and stated that he would want It for several days at a time. Mr. Fowler gave him the rates, and the man at once engag? ed the turnout. At noon he called for the buggy and drove out of the city. The man was well dressed, wore a silk hat and had the appearance of a drummer. On Thursday Mr. Fowler heard that the man was at Holland's store late Tuesday after? noon and that he had crowed the Savan? nah River that evening. Since then nothing has been heard of the man, and Mr. Fowler realizes now that he has been duped and is making an oil ort to trace him. The man is of mc lii.m size, with a light mustache and apyrently about hirty years of age. We have before ns a very neat little four-paged paper, entitle "Our Church News," which Is published monthly in the interest of the Marshall (Texas) First M. E. Church, South, by its pastor, Rev. H. G. Scudday, formerly of Anderson. It is full of choice, interesting reading matter, and is published at the low price of 50 cents a year. Mr. 8oudday ranks among the most prominent young mem? bers of the Texas Conference, and bis Church at Marshall ia a very large and influential one. Recently he sent us a photograph of a room which ho hast just fitted up in the basement of his Church for. social purposes and for the use of his Bible class, which numbers about one hundred members?the largest class, per? haps, in hi a Stale. The room contains an organ, Is carpeted and handsomely fur? nished. The Marshall papers speak in the highest terms of Mr. Scudday, and say he is doing a grand work there in the Saviour's cause. The Intelli oenoeb is glad to hear of Mr. Scudday's success in his far Western home, and joins his friends here in wishing him a long life of usefulness to his Church. The up freight train on the Blue Ridge Road jumped the track near Broadway trestle, about five miles east of the city, last Saturday morning, and it came very near being a serious wreck. A broken rail caused the accident. The train was made up of thirteen loaded cars and a cab. The engine and first eight cars passed over the break safely, but the front trucks of the ninth car jumped the track and was followed by the other four cars and the cab, badly wrecking all of them. The cab was turned completely over, and two or three -of -the freight cars tumbled down the steep embankment, one of them fall? ing within a few feet of a negro cabin, in which there were a woman and several children. There were Beveral persons in the cab, also, but no one was seriously hurt. A brakeman named Jamison was slightly Injured. The wrecked freight cars were loaded with fertilizers, which were scattered promiscuously. The down passenger train from Greenville ran up to the scene of the wrcok and exchanged malls and passengers with the Blue Ridge train and then proceeded to Columbia. The wreck was cleared in time for the Blue Ridge train to make its regular trip that afternoon. Last-week, just aftor we began printing the Intelligences, the pinion wheel of our press split in two, and for a short time we thought it would be a week or more before we could print another paper. We sent for Dr. Divver, proprietor of the Anderson Machine Shops, who went to work and by Thursday night his machin? ist had a new wheel made for the press. We bad to take down .a portion of our press to place the wheel in position, and it was after midnight before we had the press in running order again. The press started off working very smoothly, but in twenty minutes' time another crash came and our press again stopped. Upon ex -amination we-fou nd that a cog in the new wheel was broke. This was caused by the reverse movements not being properly adjusted. We soon arranged this, and by running the press very_elowly we suc? ceeded in printing the remain dor of onr papers, finishing up by 8 o'clock Friday morning. This accident will explain to a large number of our subscribers in the County why they did not get their papers until Saturday. The press is now work? ing nicely, and we hope it will be a long tiaie before it breaks down again. We are greatly Indebted to Dr. Divver and his two clever machinists, Messrs. Qirard and War-dlaw, for .the valuable help ren? dered us. Circuit Cuurt. The Court of General Sessions convened here last Monday morning ut ten o'clock, with Judge A. P. Aldrloh presiding. So? licitor Ansrfl was at his post of duty, so wa? Stenographer Aiken. Eighteen Grand Jurors answered.to their names and were sworn-iu, with J. Norton Hunter, Esq., as th? foreman. Thirty-five Petit Jurors answered "presont" and were listed ready for serrico. Judge A Id rich, b?riug in feeble health, announced that ho would not be ablo to do much work ; that Court would convene at ten in the morning and adjourn at four, in the afternoon. His Honor charged theGrand Jury about as follows: Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury: It is not necessary for me to charge you at any length. I* suppose you have been about Courts and on Juries enough to know protty well what your duties are. You are aware of the fact, I presume, that you haye charge of the af? fairs of your county, with all its officers. You will investigate the bills given you by the Solicitor, and report your finding of the same from time to time as it may suit yon. On Tuesday he said that his attention had been called to the fact that several former Grand Juries had made recommen? dations concerning a new Court House, but from some cause the County Commission? er had taken no notice of said recommen? dations. There is no doubt about your Court House not being at all in keeping with the progress of the times and of your County. You should have a building that 'would reflect in some measure the civilization, intelligence and progress of your people. This house is not large enough, nor in any way in keeping with the balance of your town and County. I hope, gentlemen, you willr in your presentment, make such recommendation as you may think proper, and in such a manner to press it upon your County Commissioners, and, if they do not heed you, then take them into the Court of Ses? sions. The following cases were disposed of: The Stat9 vs. W. E, Elrod, charged with grand-larceny. Nolprossed. The State vs. John W, Owens, violating contract. Remanded to Trial Justice Jameson for trial. The State vs. Anderson Poolo, charged with violating verbal contract. Dismissed. The State vs. Tom Davis, Andereon Da? vis and Orange Davis, charged with riet and aggravated assault and battery. Nol prossod. The State vs. Jim Rice, charged with burglary and larceny. No bill. The State vs. Robert Jeukens, charged with house-breaking. Plead guilty. The State vs. John Allen, charged with horse-stealing. Plead guilty. The State vt>. Henry Nelson, charged with horse-stealing. Plead guilty. The State vs. W. Alex. Parks, charged with carrying concealed weapous. PJead guilty. The State vs. Monroe Miles, charged with forgery. Plead guilty. The State vs. Head Sullivan. Nol prossed on payment of costs. Court adjourned to meet at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. Tuesday the following cases were dis? posed of: The State vs. Geo. Anderson, charged with horse-stealing. Plead guilty. The State vs. L. Scudday Burton, charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. Continued. The State vs: Joe Rice, charged with carrying concealed weapons. Plead guilty. The State vs. LutherS. Harper, charged with forging a teacher's first grade certifi? cate. True bill. Defendant failed to ap? pear, and the case was not disposed of. The State vs. Jane Smith, charged with arson, and being accessory beforo the fact. True bill. This case has not yet'been dis? posed Of. The State vs. Sam Barmore, charged with house-breaking. This being the first case In whicb a plea of not guilty was en? tered, a trial was had and a vordict of gtiilty rendered promptly. In case vs. Billiard Sbeppard for assist? ing an escape, no bill was returned by the Grand Jury. The same disposition was made of the case agaiust John Johnson for resisting an officer, and Henry Coates for carrying concealed weapons. Wednesday morning John Wurd enter? ed a plea of guilty of stealing a cow. John Johnson pleaded not guilty to car? rying concealed weapons, and his trial en? sued. The verdict was guilty. At 11 o'clock tho Grand Jury came into Court and made their general presentment. Owing to the want of limo and space on account of its length we are unable to publish it this week. However, wo would stato that they recommend tho building of a new Court ITouse, and ask our Repre? sentatives at tboir next Session to pass a law giving them tho powor to sell the old Court House and buy a lot on which to build a new one ; and, also, authorizing tbem to borrow not exceeding $20,000 for that purpose, aud to levy a tax to pay for the building of the new Cuurt House, a portion of it to be paid each year until the whole is paid. Wo are glad to note this recommendation, and do sincerely hope that it will be heeded, aud that in tho near future Anderson County will have a new Court House in keeping with the civiliza? tion and progress of our County.

A great many are complaining of seri? ous injuries to the small grain crops by "fly." Three of our citizens are serving this week as petit jurors: Messrs. A. M. Cheek, Jas. B. Alexander and W. C Sher ard. The aggressive "la grtype" has not be? sieged our neighborhood very generally as yot. A prominent attendant at the late pub? lic ball given at Cook's Station, at the con? clusion pf one of the cotillions, was beard to exclaim: ''Let us have a polka." Mr. C. M, Sherard now has a first-class grist mill in operation at the public gin? nery of Mr. R. I. Stewart. It is a great convenienco to the community grinding Saturday. Tho Motfattsvile Alliance certainly takes the lead among her sister County Alliances'in one particular. On Saturday morning not a stick of timber had.been cut from the forest, and on the next Sat day week, having worked only six days, they had a sufficiently heat, comfortable and commodious Hall of their own, and were very pleasantly and profitably enter? tained for two or more hours by Messrs. J.B. Watson andW. T. Bowden. Score one for this Alliance, and if any others are ahead let us hear from them. In a Bhort conversation with Mr. D. H. Russell, our efficient School Commission? er, we learned that he was highly pleaned on his last visit to the Corner with the successful management of most of the Bchools. We will say for tho Honorable Commissioner that many of our people appreciate and honor bis free confession and judgment. They think they know a good thing when thoy have it, and are all the more flattered In their judgment by his endorsement. There came very near being a serious disaster on the trestle at Barnes Station last week.

Not knowing tho dan? gerous condition tbey passed over, but their escape was considered almost miraculous. The pillaring on the most of one aide had worked out, and It was al? most suspended.' The dangerous condi? tion, however, was discovered in time to avoid a fearful wreck and shocking death. The condition was soon rendered suffi? cient, and overthing passed on iu com? parative safety. * * Mules mid Horses for sale at John E. Peoples' at cost for spot cash. I do not mean on time at cost.

Mr. Editor : On a trip to Anderson re? cently we bad tho pleasure of meeting with many of our old friends. Hearing of the physical disability of Henry Garri? son, we called on him at his house, physi? cally a wreck, hut mentally a mind as clear as ever. There Is only a few months dif? ference in our age, and when we lived at Anderson some twenty-five or thirty years ago we had Mr. Garrison for one of our most esteemed neighbors. When in the prime of life he followed his trade of house and ornamental painting most in? dustriously and successfully. But ever since the death of his excellent wife, which came sudden and unexpected, his whole nervous system has been shattered, until now ho is laid aside from active duty, and is palioutly awaiting the sum mons to come up higher and rejoin his be? loved companion and friends in that bet? ter land far above. Henry was the sou of one of tho oldest and most useful ministers of tho Methodist Church. He commenced preaching at seventeen years of age, and died with tho harness on at the age of 84. He preached purely for tbe love of souls, and probably preached more funeral ser? mons without cost, except his personal self-sacrifice, than any other minister except, perhaps, the Rwv. W. G. Mullinix. These two veterans of the Cross were not unlike in their individual history, as both were unlearned men in the ministry, and yet but few were more blessed in their labors. Henry remembors with interest an incident connected with the remarkable shooting of the stars in 31 or 32. One of his father's neighbors, a' very wicked and profane man, was very much alarmed at the strange phenomenon, and gathering his family together, proceeded at once to the home of this man of God and begged an interest in his prayers. Mr. Garrison replied, calling hia neighbor by name, "I am afraid it would do no good, for when the sun gets up in the morning as usual, and dissipates by his brightness this strange appearance, you will be the same profane man as before." The man of God led the. family in prayer, however, and notwithstanding his asseverations to the contrary, before the close of the week, and after all danger had apparently passed, he was swearing as violently as eyer. We spent a very pleasant day with our old friend and protege, G. W. Fant. Forty years ago George came to our employ as an apprentice in the office of the Anderson Gazette a poor boy, with his worldly effects in his budget. By perseverance, econo? my and industry, George has accumulated a competency in his old age, and he has an interesting family growing up around him. We cannot closo this short sketch with? out alluding to our enjoyment of the preaching sorvices at our old beloved Presbyterian Church, where we first en? tered the EhIor?hip, and where we so long assisted in the Sabbath School. Dr. Fri erson still maintains much of the vigor of his earlier ministerial life, as he preached on the Sabbath one of tbe best sermons we ever heard from his lips. His long con? nection with that Church has greatly en? deared him to that people. T. H. R. Faots from Iva. That fatal results are often the outcome of careless acts. Such must have been the thoughts of Dr. Cook'8 youthful porker when he saw the butcher, with knife in band and with blood-thirsty looks, enter his sty after Dr. Cook's explicit direotion to slaughter the large hog?a veritable 400 pounder!
