It is a bad mistake for a State officer to make, and we hope tbe people will not make the same mistake again.

C, This Association was organized at Mont? gomery, Ala., in 1888, by the Governors of the Southern States, and is to be com? posed of sub-associations organized in the towns and cities of the Southern States.

Editors Intelligencer: Six miles below Easley, in the upper part of Ander? son County, stands the beautiful residence of Mr. John R. Henderson. About one mile from this place stands another ele? gant dwelling, owned by Mr. E. S. Pepper. At the former residence many neighbors and friends gathered last Thursday even? ing to witness the marriage ceremony of Oscar, oldest son of Mr. E. S. Pepper, and Miss Jessie, eldest daughter of Mr. John R. Henderson. The parlor was becomingly decorated with evergreens. At 6 p. m. the attendants entered the parlor in the following order : Mr. Ross Henderson and Miss Emma Al good, Mr. Enoch Gambrell and Miss Nora Smith. Then came the bride leaning on the arm of the groom. Before them stood the Rev. D. Weston Hiott, who, after a short ceremony, pronounced Oscar Pepper and Jessie Henderson husband and wife. When congratulations were over, supper was annnounced, and a supper it was? everything that could be desired?and those present seemed to do full justice to the occasion. As tbe hours whirled away sweet music was made by Miss Emma Algood and Mrs. Oscar Pepper, tbe bride. We didn't have the pleasure of being present at Mr. Pepper's at the infair, but from what wc know of the family, we are satisfied that those who attended had a de? lightful time. This marriage united two families who are among the wealthy and prosperous families of upper Anderson. Alay peace, happiness and prosperity be their portion on earth, and rest, sweet, happy rest, in Heaven. D. W. H. Cotton.

An Earnest Appeal. To the citizens of the City and County of Anderson: Whereas, a branch office of the Southern Inter-State Immigration Bu? reau, known as the Improvement Associ? ation, of Anderson, S. C., has been organ? ized for the purpose of carrying out suc? cessfully the undertaking in advertising to the world the wonderful resources of the South; and, whereas, the officers of the Association have been elected and a number of members enrolled, and it is desired that a still larger number of mem? bers be enrolled on the books of the As? sociation. Therefore, I, Secretary of the Improvement Association of Anderson, S.

The Southern Inter-State Bureau is au Association formed at Montgomery, Ala, on the 12th day of December, 1888, by and through officially chosen delegates ap? pointed by the various Governors of the Southern States.

Geisbeho, Secretary Improvement Association, Anderson, S. C. News From the Kingdom. Ma- Editor : It really seems a long time since I claimed the use of your valu? able columns. I wonder if anybody has missed me? I reckon not or they would have said something about it. I was in Anderson last Monday, where I met many old friends and had several hearty haud shakes, but not from candi? dates. However, one mau squeezed my hand unusually hard, and threatened to be a candidate in 1892. He wanted me to shoot from "long taw," and I came very near doing it, but I fell behind the dead line and told him "I will see you again." Well, I enjoyed myself hugely, but failed to replenish tbe inner-man at Mrs. Riley's table, (as I usually do) and I've been sorry of it ever since. In fact, I have been hun? gry ever since. I never visit Anderson, but I think what a pity it is the beautiful little city has no name. Anderson C. II. Pshaw! that is no name?it sounds so small. Why any County can have a C. H. All Counties do have, I believe, but, as "Jess." says, now just let me tell you: There is but few Counties that can boast of a beautiful city for a County seat, and I move that Anderson city have a name, one that will be an honor to the place and a name we all love. I move the city henceforth and forever he known as "Urrville." Who seconds the motion? Don't all speak at once, but I hope to hear from some one who is willing to help set the "ball in motion." Well, we have had nearly eight weeks of the most lovely weather. Cotton is all out, corn all gathered, wheat all sowed or nearly so, and there never was a time since my recollection when farmers were so fully up with work. The people of the Kingdom are gener? ally well, and no wonder. True, people get sick here as in other places, but Dr. Duckworth won't let anybody enjoy a spell of sickness any length of lime. "Bass" has dug a well in his yard, and will soon have a nice chimney to his cot? tage. The last time I saw him he was patching his old breeches, and looked as cross as an old miser. I asked him what he aimed to do with his cottage that he was fixing up so nicely. He said he really did not know, but was afraid he would be necessarily compelled?and that's all he said. Mr. Walter Williams has purchased land in the Kingdom, and he is preparing to build. We have plenty of room, and a good deal of use for all men like Walter. Jeptba Harper has purchased a nice lit? tle farm iu tho Kingdom. It is not gen? erally known who will have charge of said farm next year. We all hope it may be some good, houest, neighborly white family, one with a nice widow in it, who don't want to stay that way. Mr. T. T. Wakefield will be able to kill more meat at two shots than any man in the Kingdom. Mr. Breazeale "will havo the biggest singlo shot. Joe has got Mike Boyle in his well, and and the rock is getting out. It is likely to be some sixty or seventy feet deep, but as Joe's children never go about his well it makeB no difference. You could not throw one of them in the well to save your life. "Swapping John" is rather down in the mouth. He was up at the Capitol the other day bragging and bantering every? body to swap horses, cows, calves, roosters, or just anything that was swappable. At last your humble servant proposed to throw hogs with him, and that settled it. C. B. Owens and Aaron Welborn are now on a visit to the Kingdom. They are to-uight tbe guests oi'T. M. Welborn. We cheerfully welcome them in our midst. Well, my communication is a little long, but you must jam it all in somehow. With best wishes for the health and pros? perity of the Intelligencer, and all par? ties concerned, I am as ever Shanks. We take stock Christmas, and want to reduce our immonse stock. Como every | one, we want to get rid of a large stock of goods during tho next two wcoks, A Card. We desire to return our warmest grati tude to our physicians, neighbors and friends, for the aid and sympathy rendered us in the recent fatal illness of our daugh? ter and sister. Jas. A. Drake, and family. An Explanation. Numerous friends and acquaintances are constantly accosting me on the streets for an explanation of the disposal of lots and stock in the new town of Calhoun Falls by the Western Carolina Laud and Improvement Company. I hereby take this method of informing all who contemplate Investing at Calhoun Falls that the plan, as offered by the Com? pany, is the most liberal that could be de visod, taking into consideration the many advantages as they present themselves for the building of ? large and prosperous city. In the first place the site secured is the most beautiful that could be found anywhere requiring such a large body of land in order to carry out all the require? ments of a strictly modern town ; the sur? vey in keeping with the most systematic and modern city in the United States; the proximity to the river' where the finest water power in the South will be utilized for the purpose of running thousands of spindles; the Railroad facilities excep? tional, being on one of the most impor? tant trunk lines penetrating the South, and the other from the Atlantic Coast (Port Royal) to the West. Secondly, Cal? houn Falls is near the centre on the line from Monroe, N. C, to Atlanta, Ga., in the heart of the finest agricultural belt in the South, and where, in the near future, truck farming will be carried on profita? bly. This Company, in order to stimulate the growth of the town, will encourage and foster every enterprise that can be carried on profitably. In order to piove a snccess, the money realized out of the sales of lota and stock will be applied towards the im? provement of the town?such as the building of a modern and commodious hotel, knitting mills that w.l' employ several hundred operatives, the grading of streets and avenues, and lastly take stock in such other enterprises as may be deemed necessary and expedient by the management for the good of all, and in any other way to aid the rapid building of the town. The first plan as olfered by the Com? pany is as follows: The Company places one thousand lots and one thousand shares of stock, the par value of which is ?100, and "non" assessable. The price for one lot and one share of stock is fixed at $150, payable ten per cent on day of purchase, and ten per cent, monthly until the entire amount is paid, when the lots will be as? signed to each subscriber by disinterested parties. Subscribers will bear in mind that part of the lots will be business lots, and every purchaser has an equal chance to have assigned to him possibly all bu? siness lots. Those who are so fortunate will get many times the value of their original investment. The business lots are 30x145, and the residence lots 50x180, running back to 20 foot alleys on all lots. The principal streets and avenues are one hundred and eighty feet wide, and every precaution in the engineering for a modern city has been taken. The second plan is to make direct sales to parties out of the number of lots re? served by the Company, and to be se? lected by the purchaser wherever desired, at the following scaled prices: Inside bu? siness lots, 30x140, $150; corner business lots $200 and $300, according to location; inside residence lots, 50x180, $100 and $150; corner residence lots $150 and $200, according to location. The Company will also make liberal concessions to parties who, under this announcement, purchase with a view of building. The terms are easy?one-third cash, balance from six to twelve months from date of purchase, so as to enable men of moderate or small means to secure a business or residence lot on ground floor figures, and grow up with the town as developments take place. The p.nterprise is young, and, comparatively speaking, a new undertak? ing in this portion of the State, really not yet fully understood by the majority of the people, but stop and reflect for one moment to what extent several towns in our State on one line of Railroad only, have grown during the past few years to become very respectable and thriving bu? siness centers without tbeir knowledge and againat their will, I might say, be? cause under the old regime of starting a new town, there were always more to be found to pull down rather than build up a community; but in this instance the promoters of the enterprise have the full object in view to build and develop, to spend the money realized out of sales of lots and stock, to locate enterprises and take stock in all enterprises that will tend towards the building up of Calhoun Falls. Remember that every purchaser of one lot and one share of stock becomes inter? ested in Calhoun Falls as a property holder and stockholder in all of the lots on hand and unsold, in all the improve? ments, manufacturing enterprises, and in fact in the entire town, to the extent of the number of shares he may hold. The Company is, and will be, liberal in donat? ing lots for religious and educational pur? poses, and aid and encourage every move? ments towards the rapid building of a modern and progressive city. The Company's office is now open, and books for subscription have been open for several days, and although it has not been generally known that the Company is ready for business, quite a number of lots have been sold, and several subscrip? tions entered. This is a rare opportunity for profitable investment, as the very near futnre will prove. Very respectfully, O. Geisberg, Manager Western Carolina Land and Improvement Company.
