The office will probably be ready for business by the 20th inst. Mr. R. H. Hill, traveling agent of the Southern Pacific Railway Company, was in the city last Wednesday. The rate over b|8 route, via Montgomery and New Or? leans, to Fort Worth, Texas, where tbe Southern Baptist Convention meets next month, |is $20.75 for the round trip from Anderson.

If he is found to be a black sheep, and she continues to receive his atten? tions, is dropped from the club." Sup? pose the young ladies of Anderson form a society like It.

As a stenographer, he has made a reputation that few members of the pro? fession attain, and is probably the most expert short-band man in the South." Mr. Campbell is an Anderson County boy, and it gives us pleasure to welcome him back to his native home. We learn that he will engage in business at Belton. C. F.

Last Sunday afternoon fire was discov? ered in the scale house on the platform of the Columbia & Greenville depot. The alarm was given and the firemen responded promptly, but before they could reach the scene and get to wotk, forty-seven bales of cotton on the platform had caught, and were enveloped in the flames. After a pretty hard fight the firemen sub? dued the fire and saved the depot and the platform, the latter being considerably damaged. The cotton was mostly de? stroyed. The loss on the cotton will amount to about fifteen hundred dollars, which will be borne by the Railroad Company. Thecotton had been hauled to the depot on Saturday, and was received and receipted for by the Railroad Compa? ny Saturday afternoon. It was consigned to the Pelzer Manufacturing .Company, having been purchased by them from Messrs. McCully, Cathcart & Co. ? The Rough & Ready fire Company threw the first water. We vrould ask your attention to the new advertisement of Mr. R. S. Hill, Manager of the Co operative Store, which is now lull and running over with new Spring and Summer goods, every dspart ment being complete. Mr. Hill knows how to buy his goods, and he sells them at prices that please ever customer. As is well known thoCo-operativestore is in the Masonic building, one room being devot? ed to groceries, supplies, etc, and the other to dry goods, clothing, shoes, milli? nery go?ds, etc The business of tho hou?e is not confined to Anderson Coun? ty, but large bills are being constantly shipped to neighboring towns. The mil? linery department is in charge of Miss Samuella Brown, who is an expert in the business, and if the fair sex will give her a ctdl sho will show them some of the most handsome and stylish hats on the market. The dress goods department is especially attractive just now, and the Indies should inspect it before making iheir purchases elsewhere. In erwpeny with our young friend, W. W. Robinson, we attended a meeting of the Ssinday School Union at First Creek Chinch last Sunday. Tho day was a very pleasant one, and the occasion at? tracted a large crowd. Tho meeting was called to order about 10 o'clock a. m. by the President, Mr. T. L Clinkscales, and the first budness transacted was hearing reports from the various schools of the Union. All of tho delegates made encour? aging reports, whiph were listened to at? tentively by the large congregation. The essays road* and topics discussed v.'ere in? teresting, and the meeting throughout was one of much interest to Sunday School workers. A good choir was pres? ent, and the exe/oises were intenipersed with some excellent singing" About 1 o'clock the Union took a short recess'for dinner, and, when it convened in the afternoon, Rev. R p. Hawkins, pastor of Liver River Chnrob. preached a very im? pressive sermon. The Union adjournned to moet with the Rocky River Cnu;:oh on the fifth Sunday in June. Our visits to the First Creek section have always been most delightful, and this trip was no ex? ception. The new advertisement of Jones, Seybt & Cp. shpujd be read carefully by "every one 6'f out* readers. Mr. Seybt has spent some time in the Northern markets, and purchased tho largest and prettiest stock of Spring and Summer goods his firm has ever shown in Ander? son. Those goods are now in position and are ready for the inspection of the trading public. We have had the pleas? ure of being shown through their estab? lishment, aud it Is a treat tp see the jaretty goods. It would take" more spac^i than we have at our command just now to mention all the pretty goods in stock, and we will have to simply state that every depertrnent is full and complete. The ladies, especially, will find it to their interest to call at once, The millinery department, which Is on the second floor, and which is in charge of Miss Percival a most tasteful milliner, contains all tho latest styles and novelties, which will not only please the eye of the fair sex, bu t also the "old man," for the goods are olfered at very low prices. Miss Percival has been Jjortb for three months past, and knows all about tbe fashlono. $hfj dreos raaking department Is still in charge of Mrs. Cummings, who never fails to give satisfaction to hor patrons. Messrs. Jones, Seybt & Co. say they are not afraid of competition, and they are determi ned to get rid of their goods, if low prices and fair dealing will do it. There is no house in Andersen that occupies a posi? tion of higher rank, and? they 'will mage it to your advantage to give them a call. It is worth a visit to thoir store just now to see their handsome show windows, which attracts the a'tentioo of every passer-by. Through the efforts and hard work of tbe Board of Trade's Riilroad Committee, of which Mr. J. A. Brock is Chairman, thp authorities have decided to pijt a new passenger train on tbe Columbia k Green? ville Railroad between New berry and Anderson. Tho new schedule will go into effect next Monday, and the train will run daily, except Sunday. The train will leave Newberry at 7 a. m., con? necting at Helena with the train from. Laurens, at Hodges with the train from Abbeville, and at Bclton with trains to and from Greenville, arriving at Ander? son about 11.30 o'clock. Returnlug tho train will leave Anderson at 3.30 p. m., connecting at Belton with trains to and from Greenville, at Hodges with the Ab? beville train, and arriving at New berry about 7.10 p. in., connecting there with the train frorri .Qolurnbia tQ Lauyens. This is certainly another step forward for our growing city, and at tbe same time the new train will be a great convenience to the peoplo all along the line be? tween Newberry, Greenville and An? derson. Persons may come from any point between Newberry and Greenville and, spending four hours in Anderson, return home the same evening. We pre dipt for this train a liberal patronage from the public. The Committee has suggested to the Railroad authorities to run the train on to Seneca and there connect with the North-bound train from Atlanta. Thjs would enable a passenger to come through from Atlanta to any point ba tween Seneca and Nowberry without lay? ing over at Seneca, as under the present schedule. The authorities have promised to look into the suggestion, and, if possi? ble, arrange the connections at Seneca. Had it not been for tho inconvenient con? nections at Soneoa, the Cjrand Lodge t)f the A. 0. U. W. would have met in An? derson this Spring. A Card. Mb. Editqk: Please allow me space in tbe iKTRLLKfENCKit to return my thanks to my friends and neighbors of the Leba? non and Sandy Springs sections of our County, for the many kind acts and at? tention bestowed upon me during the recent illness and death of my son and the iliness of other members of my family.

Mr. Hiott made a short address, giv? ing an account of the recent Convention held in Columbia, During the talk be predicted tbe defeat of Capt. Tillman. The instrument tbon repeated the speech loud enough to be beard by everybody in the house. Messrs Kemper,- Willis and J. S. Brown each performed on a mouth organ, and then the pieces were played on too Phonograph. This is indeed a won? derful age. Mr. G. II. Mahon is now canvassing the town to day getting shares to organizo a canning factory. The amount asked for will be raised in a feA- days, and then we can count on the factory as a certainty. I can't see any reason why we can't have a Court House here in a short time, and then grow into a large and thriving city. We ought to have a wagon factory here ; so mach good timber near by, and plenty of labor that could be employed at rea? sonable prices, that there would certainly be money in the investment. Let tho people talk it up. Mr. Eugene Prather, of oftt town, is now in Due West with the Presbyterian paper of that town. Wo wish him much success. "Gene" is a bright boy. Our town was favored last week with a visit from Thad, E. Horton, of the Green? ville News. Thad. is one of our boys that we feel proud of. If he lives long be will make his mark in tho world. Dew.

It was our privilege to attend the Union Meeting at Broadrnouth Church, which commenced last Friday and closed on Sunday. The meeting was one of unusual Interest. The' iotrodqetpy sermon was preachpd by Rev. M. MoGep, at XI o'clock on Friday. There were between forty and fifty delegates present from tbo dif? ferent Churches composing the Union. Tbe discussions bore mainly upon the duty of Churches toward members who failed, to attend meetings of the Church, contribute to tbe support of the gospel, &c. It was truly gratifying to note the spirit of forbearance and Christian love fyhich characterised the '"discussions throughout. It was the prevailing opin? ion of the meeting that gentleness, loving admonition, <fec, on tbe part of tho Church was the scriptural and, therefore, the best means of bringing such members up to the discharge of their'Christian du? ties. Mr. J. W. Poore, of Belton, the for? mer Moderator, was ro elected for another term of twelve months. The Sunday School Union mot on Sunday mprning at 10 o'clock, and so large was the'eongrega tion at this early hour that the house, after being taxed to Its utmost capacity, was found to be inadequate to the occa? sion, and numbers of persons were com? pelled to remain out doors. Encouraging reports were heard from the various 8ChoolB. The- reports brought out the fact that every Church lo tho Union bad a good Sunday School, not one of which had fuilod to run through the winter. The appointed speaker for the occasion not being present, Mr. H. S. Shumate fa? vored the Union with a short but pojntpj and I'orcjble addrosa, which was highly appreciated and enjoyed by all present. The Union was informed that the Super? intendent of two of tbe sohools had re? cently passed away?Mr. L. B. Haynie. of Bethany School, and Mr. Harrison Hol? land, of Neal's Creek School. Rev. G. M. Rogers was called on for a speech on the life and character of Mr. Haynie, arid Rev. R. M. King wa/S asked for'a similar cpeeoh on the life and oharaoter of Mr. Holland. Both gentlemen responded promptly, showing tho worth of such men, und the great losa the Churoh and Sunday Srjhool had sustained by their death, After these speeches the Union was led in prayer by Rev. R. W. Burts, asking for God's blessing upon those schools 'cjeprived, qi" their loaders. The missionary sermon was preached by Rov. G. M. Rogers, and a collection tuken for Foreign Missions amounting to over twenty dollars. The cash contributions at this meeting for "missions and to aid a feeble Church in building a .new house of \y0r3hin amounted to ^boiit fortyrlive dollars The servioes wore interspersed with soul-inspiring music furnished by the choir and led by Mr. M. L. Latimer, which added very much to the enjoyment of the occasion. The preaching, the speeches, the music, tbe entertainment of delegates was all that could be desired, and the opinion of every one present was that they had never attended, a bgtter jjqiqp Meeting. * v. Cray tun vlllc Items. Tho farmers have been considerably thrown back by tbe recent wet weather, but if tbe usual March wind pays us a visit tbe plows will soon start again, and the guano distributors will resume their travels and continue to run until they bedded ouf evory pound of it. Mr. J. D. King und F; C. Banister seem to be in the load this spring.' They have all their fertilizers in, und ara waiting for the dirt to dry to plant corn. We hear of some who finished planting corn three weeks ago. The oorn is not' up yet, and if it ia the "six weeks" corn it will not be up until three more woeks. Whore is a grander country than this, "our garden spot?" Our people receive presents all the year around. It was our young neighbor's turn not long sjnee to be presented with a?well,'it was not five hundred'dollars in gold from tho "Cbn slUution Publishing Company," nor a thirty thousand dollar check from the "Louisiana State Lottery,"?but it was his turn, and his wife presented him with a fine ten pound young man. The school taught by Miss Lqcia Norris ugar Mr. J. W- Kay'a,- ??8 been mo ved to a new house at the f big spring," The patrons are bound to have a school there. They have been anxious Ibra sohool in their midst for a number of years, but the Trustees spoke against the location, The new house has a bimdant room and is woll furnished with light. It will be ceiled and painted in the near future. Miss Lucia has been secured" for an eight months term, regardless of public money. They intend to auppqrt a. good teacher and' run the school from eight to ten months annually, whether the aohool is located or not, Suoh a determination as this Is bound to aconmplish a vast amount of good, and all efforts will be crowned with success. We regret that such steps were not taken sooner. Wo called in at our pleasant neigbor, Mr J. J. Robinson's, one evening lust week, and while thero a hawk pounced upon .on t> of his'largest young chickens and started to the woods with it. Mr. Uubiuson being absent, tho gun was handed to us und we started on a run for tho chicken, which was so heavy that its capturer could lly only a short distance at at i) time. F.very tirao the hawk ilew the poor chiokou would hollsr and wc would got a littlo fustor, but all of no avail. While running we oanio upon ti rabbit, hut the load was saved for the hawk, for fried chicken und chicken pig was con? stantly on our mind. Boing nptirely ex baustcd, the chase was given up with re? luctance, and we have no claim of chicken pie on Mrs. Robinson, but we think we will get that very hawk yet. We hope Mrs Robinson will console herielf with the thought that the chicken would prob? ably have been eaten by some candidates if wo bad saved it. It is an unusual ihiug to see a family going a vi.-iting in a two horse wagon, bt .your correspondent witnessed such a 'si^ht recently in the person of one near neighbor. He has a splendid buggy. There is j ust one thing that accounts for hi? strangeness and peculiarity, and that is this : he has lived for two years about one thousand miles West of here, and a two horse wagon was the kind of buggy gen? erally used there. So on this particular occasion he must have thought himself still in the West, and forgot his buggy entirely. We spent a night in your city not long since at the genial home of our friend and relative, Dr. A. C- Strickland. On our way to his office the next morning we passed the new establishment of Sullivan ifc Co., which is sure to do a big business after it gets well started up It was rain? ing all that day, but business did not stop at all. Dr. "Strickland remarked that such days as that was a great relief to him, although he was busy at work all tho time, still his callers were fewer, and work less pressing. Beside those things which make his customers' hearts beat with fear, he has a number of attractions wbicb will mako the heart beat with de? light. His little locomotive and train of cars is a complete toy. Cratk. AndorsoDvllle Item*. If not providentially hindered, Rev. J. T. W. Vernon will till his appointment at this Church the 1st Sunday at 11 o'clock, an'.' on Saturday before, jt is to be hoped lie will have a largo and attentive congre? gation, and may bis words be rocoived as they ought to. The farmers are somewhat behind with their work. Some are done, whilo others have not put in any of their fertilzers yet. We have heard of very little corn planted yet in this section. Think the corn crop will bo somewhat short this year to what it was last?that is not so large an acreage. The small grain crop is looking any? thing but promising now. The cold snap injured it to some extent. Jn conversation with a friend (aged 74 years) in regard to the peach crop, she said she didn't think there would be any Eeaches this year. Some few peach trees ave put forth blooms, while others have not, but thinks with no more freezes there will be a crop of apples. She says that during her long life here on earth the peach trees have failed to bloom twice, and that the winter passed is one of the most remarkable winters sho has ever witnessed. Mr. T. R. O.-morne informs us that the freeze this spring has killed a great many of bis fruit tre?s. Forest tires are raging a few miles from this place in the.Fork. We understand some had very narrow escapes from being burned out. .'Some moved their house? hold goods out in the open field to save them. Havn't heard of no damage up to date. KM'. Five Fork's Itoins. March 28, 1890. Mr Edit*.it: There is-, in some respects, a favorable change since I wrote you last. The sick are improving, while there is no new cases of grippe or pneumonia in our vicinity. But as far as our farming pros? pects are concerned they arc worse and uioncv. It seems that just as the land gets dry enough to work it rains again. Everybody was prepared to put in a big day's plowing to day, but between five quii six o'clock this morning we had a PQ-.vf i ful storm of rain and wind. I say fearfti! because I was soared, and that badly. The wind made its way through evory crack and crevice in to my log mansion, but it seemed as if it could not find its way out. It dashed and whirled around in legular cyclone order, making newspapers, old straw bats, old letters and qishrags fly in all directiqns, and my will was good to fly also, but I could not have seen an egg shell on the end of my nose, and by the time day come tbestorm was over and I was happy. Wheat and oats look well. Q. W. Ca? sey leads In fine looking wheat. Mr. Wakefield is, I believe, about the only man who has all his fertiliser in the ground. Mr. Chesley Duckworth is very noar done, if not. quite. There is but lit? tle corn planted yet. I' fear the acreage in corn will be light this year. Every? body seems to have cotton on the brain this spring, and it really appears as if farmers bad all strained a point to see how much tbey could over-crap them? selves. Rc-ad-workers are now on the new road leading from Five Forks and inter? secting with Anderson road at Mr. Hol? lands (formerly Pink. Bowen's). February, 1890, contained five Sundays Will some of my brother correspondents please state through the Intelltgknceh when it will occur again ? There was quite a gathering of young people at Miss Emily Jones' on last Sun? day evening. Whether it was accidental or otberwjse, 1 did nqt learn. I have sel? dom seen a collection of as pretty girls and ugly boys together. The contrast was really striking. Tbe young ladies, however, did not seem to nqtioe vuloan isqi, U.ut was just as cooiahle and lovely as if the lad had been ever so handsom", Woll, the boys were all good fellows, and all of them my friends, and I will cast no reflections, merely because I dou't look as well as I do. Two of the young ladies, Miss Ida and Miss Sally Jonos, made a short call on your hqnibjo sorvant, and seemed tp enjoy looking at a number of photographs on the wall of my old log cabin, "Crate" come with them. I guess for good count. Come again, young folks, you will always meet a big wel? come from old Shanks.
