ICditors, however, are like other people?they have to do a little work occasionally, und can't take too many holidays.

Persons in this County who desiro to go to Richmond to witness the unveiling of Gen Lee's statue should notify Mr. J. L. Mauldin, Secretary of tho Anderson County Survivor's Association, at once.

Tuesday morning some boys wore flying kites on North Mam street. At the time a gentleman and two little girls drove by in a buggy, when the horse became fright? ened at the kites and, in his attempt to run away, one of the little girls was thrown from the buggy and hurt. The boys will have to stop flying their kites on tho streets, or the police will be after them. The hail storm alluded to by our Biushy Creek correspondent was perhaps one of the severest that has ever visited Ander? son County. Fortunately it was confined to a small section. A gentleman of this city, who visited the scene of the storm next day, says the hail stones ranged in size from a partridge egg to a guinea egg, and that birds, chickens and rabbits wero killed by them. At a meeting of the State Dental Asso? ciation in Charleston last week. Dr. A. C. Strickland, of this city, was elected sec? ond Vice-President of tho Association.

An old citizen of this County, who was rather fond of his toddy, was orderocl by his physician, during a temporary illness, not to exceed one ounce of spirits daily.

Miss Zella Campbell closed her school at Eureka on last Friday by an entertain? ment, consisting of 'recitations, dialogues and speeches. We learn from those who were present that it was a very enjoyable affair and regret our inability to be present, owing to the fact that we had an "aching tooth" that claimed our undivided atten? tion. School Commissioner Russell, who was present, will tell our readers some? thing about the entertainment in the "Teachers' Column" next week. The Easley Messenger, of last weok, says: "The people, more especially the ladies, of the Slabtown section, a few miles below this place, are somewhat alarmed over the appearance in the com? munity of two negroes, supposed to be escaped criminals. Thoy have been seen several times lying around in the woods and old fields, and are not accessible, hut make off at the appearance of any of the white inhabitants. Where thoy get any? thing to eat is a mystery. Thoy are said to be well-armed with knive3 and pistols." Many of the readers of the Intelligen? cer will recognize tho cheerful face of Mr. 0. B. VanWyck in his advertisement this week, which we invite you to read care? fully. After an absence of throe years, Mr. VanWyck has returned to his old home, and has opened the "Boston Shoe 8tore" in tho McUully block. He haH any? thing you may need to wear on your feet, and his prices are wonderfully low.

C, is expected to arrive in Anderson to-morrow (Friday), and will spend several days here with his nephew, Dr. S. M. Orr. Judge Orr, who is a brother of the late Gov*.

The CommeucoinGnt oxercises of the Patrick Military Institute, which will take placo on June l?th, lGtb, 17th and 18th, are looked forward to with tho most pleasant anticipations by our peoplo, and from the following programme the occa? sion will be a most interesting; one: Sun? day.

That the Negro should be Colonized;" Wednesday morning, June 18th, the regular Coro niencenient exercises will take place. The Commencement will attract a crowd of visitors from a distance. An Enjoyable Occasion. The happy home of Mr. and Mrs. Bailey Breazeale, in Broadaway Town? ship, about live miles oast of the city, was the scene of a most enjoyable occasion on Monday night. Their second son, Claude Hughe, had attained his twenty-first birthday that day, and the occasion was a reception tendered him by his devoted parents. Wo had received a cordial invi? tation to be present, and, of course, went, for we knew that we were going to one of the most hospitable homes in Anderson County, wero going to get plenty of some? thing good to eat. and, at the same time, meet a number of handsome young ladies and clever young men. The mere fact of getting a good supper was a sufficient at? traction for an editor, not to say anything about the other good things in store for us. The weather was threatening, but this could not keep us back. It was after dark when we drove up to tho borne of our friend, and tho many beautiful Chinese lanterns that wero sus? pended from the long verandas of the commodious dwelling house and from the limbs of the large oaks in the yard, presented a pretty Bcene. Inside tbo spa cions hall and parlors the merry chatter of voices could be heard, and, as wo entered, we looked around and noted the follow? ing guests present: Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Harris, Miss Goorgie McDavid, Miss Florence Acker and Mr. W. J. Moore head, of Beiton; Miss Zella Campbell, Miss Lena Campbell, Miss Carrie Pear man, Miss Sue Mattison, and Messrs. Newton Campbell and Chesley Pearman, of the neighborhood; Miss Alice Dean and Miss Carrie Dean, of Deans ; Miss Kittie White, Miss Maggie Evans, Miss Helen Cater, Miss Lula Hawley, Miss Mattie Cater, Miss Lizzie Thornley, Miss Eunice Prevost, and Messrs. E. H. Poore, J. W. Mattison, R. L. Robinson, W. W. White, John Flynn, W. F. Anderson, Lewis Har? rison, A.- B. Austin, R. C. Webb and George Evans, of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Breazeale and their four genial sols and charming little daughter were ming? ling with their guests and using every effort to make them enjoy themselves. An hour was spent in a conversational way, when Mr. and Mrs. Breazeale step? ped forward, and calling their son, Claude, before them, the father, in a very appro? priate speech, which was full of good ad? vice to the son, and which was very affecting, presented him with ono hun? dred dollars as a birth-day gift. Aftor the young gontlemau received the congrau.lalious of those presont, we were all invited into the spacious dining-room and surrounded a most elegant table, loa-k-d with almost every luxury and sut.stauthil that tho appetite could wish for. lleio au half hour was well spent, each one doiug his or her utmost to hide as much as possible of the good things set before them. From the dining-room the party returned to the parlors, and the rest oftheevenir : was spent in dancing, prom? enading and listening to some fine music. It was after midnight when the merry parly broke up, and it was a unanimous verdict that a more delightful eveuing bad never been spent by any member of the party. It was in the "we snia' hours" when those of us of the city reached our homes, and, but for a little accident which hap? pened on the way home, resulting in get? ting a buggy smashed* up and several young ladies and gentlemen being badly frigiitened, the drive homo would have been very much enjoyed. Hones Path Items. Miss Ella Kay, who has beeu spending some time at Piedmont, has returned home. Rev. Pegues preached in tho Methodist Church last Suuday morning and evening. Mr. J. J. Shirley is having his house painted again. Mr. J. R.

C Stepp. The day was one of enjoyment to the young and old. P. Craytonvillo Items. Gardens are as fine as wo over saw them at this season. The early planters have cotton hoed and plowed, but the "grass" is thar also. We have had a great deal of rain for tbo last ten days, which has delayed farm work very much, We hear uo complaint about cotton seed not coming up this year, and it's mighty hard for hands to cut cotton thin enough, when there are so many nice large stalks. B. P. Mitchell planted some cotton the 21stof April, and by May tho 12th it bad four leaves to the stalk. Who can beat that? Mr. John Mitchell, who has been among us for twelve months, and who went to his father's, near Seneca, three weeks ago on account of sickness, is no better, we re. gret to say. On the night of the 18th inst., a little storm passed over this section which blew down some fencing and uprooted a few trees. Miss Mallic Strickland has purchased a nice organ. Organs aro plentiful in this section. We can't boast much of tho picnic at Clink8cales Mill, as the crowd was rather small, but there was plenty of dinner, and it was nice, too, for our Mohawk girls pre? pared it. The Queen of Mohawk was there, and it seemed that she and her part? ner, with about two other couples, had the picnic monopolized in the afternoon. We are indebted to Mr. Homer McAdams, of Due West, for the musio he gave us from his guitar. June, June, June! Yes! June is the month in which one of our best girls will get married. At least, that is what they say. Those Belton felloes know where to go to find the best girls. Wc are out of Mohawk boys. There is a problem, not a race problem, but a lady problem : "What musta lady do who has just passed out of the teens if she don't want to 'je an old maid and won't marry?" Thero is a young man in the boundary of Mohawk who claims that his mule is very wild. When he hauls a lady she must got out and open gates, for he tells her she can't hold the mnle. Ono lady had to got out and put up a pair of draw bars, while he sat in his buggy, arms foldod. Iwr. G. W. L. Mitchell has gone to visit his daughter, Mrs. A. J. Clinkscales, near Bradloy, S. (J.

Curry and wife, of Waco, Texas, are visiting and upendIng their honeymoon with relatives and friends in this section. Mrs. Curry, whose maiden name was McAdams, is a native of this State, and ha9 resided in the far We3t for several years. Wo wish for the handsome groom and his bonny bride a safe return to their far off home, and may the richest blessings attend them through life. The farmers are in good heart. A good stand of cotton, and a better stand of "Gen. Green." Wo heard ono man say ho bad so much grass lie did not know what to do with it?whothor destroy the grass or the cotton; that if he lets the grass alone he can accommodate his neighbors with good pastures. He wishes some of the many readers of the Iktklliokncer will advise what to do with it. A man in this section, who claims to be an old miner, claims that he has discov? ered a gold mine on Mr. Sam. McAdams' farm near this place. We have not seen any of the precious metal, but others have, and we trust they will not be disap? pointed, as it will be a big boom for the Fork country. Dysentery is prevailing to some extent in this neighborhood. It is of a mild form, however. We had one case of mea? sles, and are looking for others to take thum every day. We hope they will go no farther. A few weeks ago the good peple?not all, only a very few?met with the intention of organizing a debating society, which it seems was a failure, and was given up as a bad egg. Good rains have fallen throughout this section in the last few days which, we trust, was highly appreciated by the farmers. In conversation with an old farmer, a few days ago, in regard to the wheat crop, he said he did not believe the farmers would make their seed that they sowed. We hope he will be mistaken. Neverthe? less, the prospect is very gloomy, with the rust from bottom to top. Much com? plaint is heard about the stand of corn, which is laid to the bud worm. The majority of the farming class in this section are for Tillman and the Charleston World. Hurrah for Tillman ! but go slow and be sure yon are in the right, farmers. Ray; Bin ally Creole Items. The most teiritie hail and wind storm ever witnesiscd by our people passed through this section an Wednesday after? noon, lith inst. The cotton and corn were beate? inte the ground. The corn will grow out again, but the ootton is ruined and will have to be replanted. On Mr. E. W. Long's upper place the hail seemed to do the most damage. There the shingles wore torn from the house, the trees stripped of all their leaves, and all of the chickens were killed. .On Mr. John R. Henderson's., place all the glass were broken out of the'windows of the dwelling house on the side from which the storm came. On Mr. -Nig. Williams' place a small tenant house was blown down. The roofs of several outbuildings were also blown off, and many trees uprooted. Many persons think they are as badly damaged as those who were so unfortu? nate as to be in the track of the c3'Clone which passed through this soction several years ago. We do not think the damage was as great as then. The path of the storm seemed to be about two and one half miles wide. In the Fairview section all of the growing crops were ruined. We learn the storm also did some damage in and around Central. We think the committee of arrange? ments should prosecute the disturbers of the recent pic nie at Slabtown. There wore nine or ten shots fired, which caused a stampede among the people, who ran in every direction.' Mr. Bailey Pepper had the misfortune of getting his foot painfully mashed a few doys ago by a mule falling on it. The Suuday School of Fairview Church will celebrate Children's Day on Sunday, 25th inst. Our farmers generally are well up with their work. P. Mosely Items. Capt. J. T. Barnes has nearly finished chopping out bis cotton, and he has a fine stand. This section has been visited by a good season, and the crops generally are look? ing well. Several of our young men recently at? tended an entertainment at Cleveland school house, in Hart County, Ga. They report a most enjoyable trip. Two of our young men, Messrs. J. L. P. and J. F. V., went fishing one day last week and came near getting drowned. However, they caught a nice mess of suckers, but it is not known how they caught them. Several of our neighbors have been laid up with the grip. A few of them are im? proving, but the others are not doing so well. Rev C. V. Barnes will preach at Fel? lowship Church on Sunday, 2?th foot. OllSERVER. A New York Society Fad,?Among the unique and pleasant entertainments of the winter in New York have been the four o'clock teas at the Claremont, a re Bort which commands a fine view of the Hudson. At this placo fashionable gath? erings have taken place at which many promtnont society people were present. In Frank Leslie's Illvstralcd Newspaper, this week, the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew is represented as the centre of agroup at one of these teas. On the opposite page, pic? tures are given of the Hon. McKinley, Jr., while making his groat argument in favor of protection. ? Mi3s Cyrena Alice Boyd, a young lady aged nineteen years, whose parents reside in Yolo County, California, died under peculiar circumstances. A few weeks ago she was visiting friends in San Francisco, and while there had her cars pierced. She was very particular to urge that white silk he inserted in the punc? ture, but the thread finally used contain? ed some coloring matter. A day or so after the operation Miss Boyd returned to her parents' home in Yolo. Within a few days she experienced soreness about the ears, but did not regard the matter as of much consequence. One day she and her sister happened to be out in a shower, and Miss Boyd took cold. The effect of the exposure began to manifest itself in her ears, already swollen and sore. Her ears swelled rapidly, the swelling extend? ing to her face, and finally one of the eyes was closed completely. Erysipelas set in, blood poisoning followed, and then it was evident that her life was beyond the pow? er of saving. ? Losing steadily in (he North, the Republicans hope to gain in the South by resorting to Federal legislation to virtually disfranchise the white people in the Southern States. Aud to this miserable business has one great polit? ical party been forced, in the hope of ruling in defiance of the popular will. ?
