Walhalla Courier : "Died, at Central, in Pickens County, at the residence of his sister, November 2nd, 1890, Mr. Jesse J. Smith, aged about C5 years. He was bu? ried on Tuesday, 4th instant, at Old Leba? non, three miles below Pendleton. Mr, Smith was tbe youngest son of Capt. Aaron Smitb.of Anderen County, and was favor? ably known to the people of that county, where h? has many relatives and friends. Long before the war he went to Texas, and settled in Henderson county and was elected SberifTof that county several terms. During the war he was badly wounded, having his right arm shattered with a shot from the enemy, besides being wounded in other portions of tbe body. He belong? ed to tho Western Army, and was a brave soldier. After the war he returned to his native State, where he resided until his death. His health had been poor for sev? eral years.

Dig a pit under a house or largo shod, say about live or six feet wide, ton or twelve feet long and throe or four feetdoop, put your potatoes in and cover over them ? loosely with plank until cold weather, then close up the cracks and cover the plank with dirt. Do not put too many in one pit; not more than 100 bushels. Try it brother farmers, and I think you will be well pleased." The Elbertou (Ua.) Gazelle, of last week, says: "We were glad to meet Dr. P. A. Wilhite, of Anderson, S. C, in Elberton last Friday. He is a native of this County, but left it und went to Anderson many 3'ears ago, and has lived there for more than forty years. He is now one of the wealthiest and most prominent men of that growing city. Dr. Wilhite is the first man that ever used anesthesia and dis? covered irs great value.

The Nashville (Tenn.) correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution, underrate of the 13lh inst,, says ; "Mr. Edward O'Donnell, of Atlanta, was united to a lovely Nash? ville bride yesterday morning at 5 o'clock in tho person of Miss Mary Brazilia Ca? rey, at the cathedral. Nupital mass was celebrated by the Rev. T. A. Abbott. The attendants were Mr. John Haggerty and Miss Julia Haggerty, After the ceremony the bridal parly were tendered an elegant wedding breakfast by Captain and Mrs. T. M. Steger, at the Duncan hotel. At 7.30 o'clock the newly married couple left for Atlanta, followed by the good wishes of many friends." Mr. O'Donnell was a resident of Anderson for several years, and has a host of friends here who will be pleased to hear of his marriage. The Hartwell Sun speaks thus of one of Anderson's clever firms : "John M. Hub bard & Bro., of Anderson, S. C, favor us with an elegant photographic view of the interior of their magnificent jewelry pal? ace. We had the pleasure of inspecting it while on a recent visit to that city. It is the most beautiful display of jewelry, sil? verware, watches, clocks, &c, that we have ever seen. Nothiug in Atlanta can eclipse it. Less than twenty years ago John Hubbard sat at a window with a small set of tools tinkering on watches. Honesty, promptness and reliability re? sult in this grand jewelry palace. This is no advertisement, but we are free to say that if you want the best of anything in their line, tho place to get it is at the jew? elry palace of John M. Hubbard & Bro., Anderson, S. C.' ? At the last meeting of the City Council "Tuesday after Salesday in January was set apart for selling lots in the Silver Brook Cemetery at public outcry, and from now ?until that time any of our citizens may select a lot and purchase the same at pri? vate sale, if they so desire. The plot of the Cemetery may bo seen at the City Clerk's office, and Mr. C. C. Langston, Chairman of the Cemetery Committee, will take pleasure in giving any information in re? gard to the same. There was a general clamor among our people a long time for a cemetery, but since the city has pur? chased it, very few interments have been mado tli we und very little interest has been rnanif.-su-d in it. This is wrong. We needed the cemetery, aud now that we have a v-ry pretty one, our citizens should buy lots .'and impr.ve them. If this ia not done, it would bo better for the Coun? cil to sell the whole property and do away with the. comotery. The lots are cheap, and the Couucil wants to get rid of them. We hope our people will take the matter under consideration, purchase the lots, and make Silver Brook Cemetery a most beau? tiful place in which to inter the remains of our loved ones as they pass away. Honen Path Items. The following account of the marriage of Mr. R. M. Shirley and Miss Sallie Erwin was handed to us by one present: The home of Mrs. M. Erwin was illumi? nated with unusual brilliancy on Thurs? day evening, 13th inst., and everything was on the qni vive. For more than an hour the usher was kept busy seating the friends who continued to come The par? lor was tastefully festooned with ever? greens and flowers, and all the surround? ings indicated something more than un ordinary social gathering. The occasion was the performing of the marriage cere? mony of Mr. R. M. Shirley and Miss Sallie H. Frwin. At about half-past eight o'clock Miss Mary Erwin, who was seated at the organ, s. ruck up the wedding march, while the brio ;\l couple, attended by Dr. Jas. F. Wilson bad Miss Annie Henry, W. F. Cox and Miss Lizzie Forsyth, Mr. G. F. Bigby and Miss Jessie Hill, W. A. Shirley and Miss Jennie Erwin, filed into the parlor, where Rev. T. B. Craig, the bride's pastor, stood ready to pronounce the sacred rites. After the twain were made one, and had received a bountiful share of congratulations, the announce? ment of Hupper was made, which threw a different expression upon the faces of all present. When the table was reached, we were astonished at both quantity and quality, but with a fair maid at our side and the bountiful supply of edibles within reach, we were as happy as it is possible for one to be. After supper came a view of the many beautiful presents which had been presented by kindred and friends, and a nicer selection would indeed be hard to find. The evening was much en? joyed by all present, but the time soon came to depart, and the party filed out to their conveyances and dispersed home? ward. Miss Mary Erwin received the praise of all in acting the part of usher. The groom, Mr. Shirley, is a young busi? ness man of Honea Path, possessed of many noble qualities. The bride is a daughter of the late M. Erwin. The young couple are very popular, and we extend to them our congratulations. They were given a reception at Mr. J. J. Shirleys, on Friday, 14th inst., which, we understand, was enjoyed by all present. Money was made up here last Saturday to buy a complete set of grave tools.

Miss Mary Latimer has so far recovered from her recent illness as to be able to visit relatives in Honea Path last week. Mrs. Amanda Haynes died quite sud? denly last Thursday afternoon cn her way from Honea Path with paralysis of the heart. Her remains were interred in the cemetery at this place on Friday after? noon, Rev. M. McGee conducting the funeral sarvices. On Saturday at eleven o'clock at this place Rev. M. McGee also conducted the funeral services of Mrs. Warren Flem ming. Although she had been sick for some time with consumption, her death was not expected so soon and was a great shock to her relatives in and around Honea Path. The bereaved family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. Road This. Thanksgiving and Christmas days are just at hand!

We can boast of haying the stingiest man {in the County. Incognito. News of the Kingdom. Mb. E?iToa: I haven't much news for you this week. Cotton is nearly all out, corn gathered, etc. Wheat sowing is in order; the ground, however, is just a lit? tle too dry. Several of our young boys seem to have 'possum on the brain. It is especially so with "George" and "Will." John Williams has been a little unbal? anced, but he is better now. He came dashing up to the capitol a few mornings ago, trying to whistle "Yankee Doodle" and "Dixie" both at the same time. One of our boys saluted John thus: "How are you, John ?" "We haven't weighed it yet," said John, in a sort of abstracted way. "Weighed what?" said the young man. "No," said John, "it's a girl, but that beats no baby at all," and away he went at full speed, and in the same musi? cal strain he came in. And now I want to inform you that there is a tatcr at the mansion, subject to your order, with the compliments of R. E. MeltOn. It measures 26 inches in length, by 6 in circumference. It has a serpentine shape, and really looks more like a dead Bnake than a live potato. We are all glad to learn that young Frank Mullikio, with his mother, ?, will shortly move into the Kingdom, with a view of making it their permanent home. Mrs. Mat. Hutchinson, of Elberton.Ga., is visiting her many friends and relatives in Anderson County. She is at present the guest of M. A. Casey, of the Kingdom. "Mart" has caught the inspiration from John, and is practicing music, or, rather, whistling two tunes at once. I was In the city last Saturday.

The merchants are well pleased with their col? lections, and thus far have no right to com? plain of a small trade. From all that your correspondent can ascertain it is very evident that the cotton crop of this section will far exceed that of last year. The wheel of progress continues to turn, and propelled by the new life engendered from a rising town, (whose interest would be diametrically opposite, and whose name was to take the form of Calhoun Falls,) we are better equipped for the demands of business to day than ever before. Dr. B. A. Henry is now fencing in his lot and garden, which will add much to the "finish" of his place when completed. If he is preparing to enjoy "bliss" in try? ing something new, we would suggest that he first purchase a "bird" to sing for him. The iron bridge across Rocky River is now completed, and the approaches will be let to tbe lowest bidder to-day. This new piece of work is an oxpenment in Abbeville County, and should it prove a success in every respect, it is very proba? ble that as the old wooden bridges wash away, substantial iron ones will be placed in their stead. Mr. E. H. Mathews Is now boarding at the Mosely Hotel, where he will remain until his house is completed. We fear his walk to and fro will grow very long and tiresome ere winter disappears. His new home is situated near the river, just out? side of the incorporated limits. Mrs. James M. Baker returned to her home last week from a visit to the springs, where she has spent the summer. Her many friends welcome her homo again, and are pleased to find her looking so well. Mrs. J. B. Franks returned from a visit to Charleston last Tuesday, in company with Messrs. Perrin and Cothran, of Ab? beville. Tho gentlemen of this party were here to collect taxes, and remained for two days as the guest of Mr. T. Baker. Mr. W. M. Speer, a very popular young man of our town, and who is now engaged iii the store of Baker, Mathews & Cham? bers, has formulated a plan by which youug ladies may politely rid themselves of company who, perchance, have worn out their welcome. It was a personal ex? perience that inspired this gentleman to conceive of such a device, and he will gladly make it known to any of his friends who will call and see him, especially those of his lady frieuds who are not familiar with this new scheme. Mr. James E. Carter has one of the best trained dogs in the State. This beautiful Pointer has been trained to act as post? man for almost the entire town, andean be seen at almost any hour of the day with a package or letter in his mouth, gracefully moving in the direction of the party to whom it may be addressed. He is the centre of attraction, and is the subject of many a beautiful eulogy. I think it would be wise for our friend, Mr. Carter, to take out an insurance policy on his fa? mous dog, that his life should not rest iu jeopardy any longer. Mr. S. S. Baker has been quite sick for some time, but we are glad to report his condition much better at present. Dr. J. B. Mosoley made a business trip to Troy and its vicinity last week. He reports the crops in that section to be shorter than was expected by the farmers. The war is over?the State has once more resumed its peace. Tillman aud his party have been victorious. The doso was tough, but had to be swallowed. OU> eye3. Hogs, Ilogs. At market price, at Fowler's Stable J. P. Catlett. For the finest clothing and lowest prices go to C. F.

We would bo glad to know who shall prove to be the most successful potato keeper. If tho County Commissioners should visit this part of the country just now, they would not have to put on their specta? cles to see that in some places the roads are vory much in need of repair. Miss Rosa Hodges is pursuing ber stud? ies at the Williamston Female College with thepationce and determination which have previously distinguished her school life. She will probably complete the course soon, and, to the delight of her friends, re? turn home. Miss Rosa Wharton re-entered the Due West Female College at the beginning of the present session. She is well pleased with the workings of the Institution, just as all earnest pupils should be who expect to use to the best advantage their time and opportunities. Miss Neta McGee, who has been attend? ing the High School at Bowman, Ga., is again at home. Misa Neta looks as if her stay in Georgia agreed with her. A1 most every housekeeper has som ething to tell about the sore bead among her poul? try. The diseaso prevails to a considerable extent, proving fatal in many cases. Hap? pily, remedies have been found, and it is hoped the epidemic will soon be past. One of our lady friends, while on a re? cent visit at Hartwell, listened to a speech on a famous divorce case, which was then in Court. This was a novel experience to her, as it would bo to any native of South Carolina, where such things as divorces are not even countenanced. Contractor Candle, with a good number of assistants, began the erection of the new Church at the Grove on Monday, the 10th inst. The building committee, while making their preparations, met with sev? eral obstacles, all of which have been sur? mounted at last. The old Church was sold at auction and has been moved away. The new building occupies a part of the space on which the former one stood. The community reports one case of thieving, Fetor Brooks, a respectable colored man, had a valuable cow stolen from him abouttwo weeks ago. Suspicion at once rested upon one Harrison Williams, who was arrested, and, after a preliminary hearing before Trial Justice Scudday, was committed to jail. On the way to jail he gave the names of three other negroes who were his accomplices, and said that they killed the cow not far from Starr and dis? posed of the beef. Warrants were issued for the accused, and they, too, were arrest? ed. They were taken before another Trial Justice, who was found not to be a "Bru? tus in Justice," and, in the face of con? victing evidence of guilt, released the prisoners. The white citizens are very in? dignant over the affair. M. the New School, Townville, Nov. 12,1890. Editor Intclliqenccr: I notice in your columns some resolutions In regard to the New School at Townville, or Townville Institute. Now I don't want to be officious, but in justice to the board of education of Anderson County, I would say that the board has passed no resolutions depriving the New School of public funds. The resolutions were passed by men, for the most part, who were bitter enemies to the New School. Why were those resolutions passed ? Echo answers, why ? The resolu? tions came from a School situated in Oconee County. If those resolutions have a silver lining, what's the matter with Anderson County ? Don't it sound funny for the Oconee citizens to be praying An? derson County to grant public money to its own School? The friends of the New School fought a protest sent in by an Oconee man, and had the New School located irrespective-of the Oconee protest. It appears that after they are beaten they want to make it appear that they will go a good ways out of their way to see that the New School gets public money. Prof. J. M. Fant has a good School in the New School house at the present time. Mr. Fant, being a graduate of the Patrick Mili? tary Institute, and a man whose character is beyond reproach, is a model teacher, beloved by children and parents. I understand that Townville (or rather Oconee County) is to have a bonded School. Well, we have no objections to that, so long as they don't interfere with the Townville Institute. By the way, the Townville Institute is formulating plans to commence a high ? School. You had better look s/t?rp or the Institute will get there yet. ^ Amic?S. Union Bleetlags.
