The mule market has opened right lively, and the local dealeis are doing a food business. When you want to buy a orse or mule, or anything else, at a low price, come to Anderson.

All of Anderson County. r' It is strange how some people persist in Bitting in the aisle end of the pew at Church. It makes it very unpleasant for anyone to have to climb over a barricade of sharp bones to get to the other end, and very embarrassing for anyone to rise and stand in the ailse for another to pass into the seat. It is a strange custom that we don't understand, but we have had to put up with its unpleasantries a lot of times. Mr. John H. Clarke left Anderson Mon? day morning for New Yoik, whither he Sroes to spend ten days in posting himself u all of the new Btyles and receiving farther instructions in 'the tailor's art. Mr. H. D. A.

She will return to Anderson thoroughly posted in the new styles for the Spring season. Some moralist and economist puts it this way :.From a busbel of corn the dis? tiller gets four gallons of whiskey, which will retail at ?16. The Government gets $3.60. the farmer gets 40 cents, the railroad gets $1, the manufacturer gets $4, the re? tailer gets $7 and the consumer gets drunk.

Walhalla Courier: "Miss Kate Holle man has been elected as an assistant teacher in the Townville High School. She has accepted and left on Monday for that place. Miss Kate is a capable and experienced teacher, and Townville is to be congratulated on securing ber services in the school room." The Yorkville Enquirer has risen from the ashes of disaster, and is again on our exchange table, looking as bright and neat as ever. In the fire which swept away the plant of the paper, Capt Grist was a heavy loser. We hope he will have a prosperous year, and that he will never have another misfortune. The Intelligencer was pleased to have a call from John K. Hood, Esq., of Due West, last Tuesday. Mr. Hood, who is a son of Prof. Hood, of Erskine College, has recently been admitted to the bar, and is in Anderson prospecting with a view of locating here to practice law. He is a worthy, excellent young man, and we would be glad to have him settle in our growing city. The Sylvester Bleckley Company, which was recently incorporated, has organized by electing the following officers: Presi? dent and Treasurer, S. Bleckley; Secre? tary, J. H. VonHasseln; Directors, S. Bleckley, J. J. Fretwell, F. G. Brown. W. R. Osborne, J. T. Pearson and J. H. Von Hasseln. We invite your attention to the Company's advertisement, which appears elsewhere. Our young friends. Will. Tucker and A. T. Newell, two of Anderson County's popular and energetic young farmers, re? cently visited friends in Spartanburg. During their Btay their friends gave them a pleasant dance, and other courtesies were shown them. The young gentlemen are high in their praises of Spartanburg, and more especially of some of ber fair daughters. Fifty more dwelling housea in Ander? son, it is said, would find ready tenants, and we have no doubt that the building of 1891 will be sufficient to meet the de? mand. We hope so. Anderson has and is progressing steadily, and we believe the old town will make greater strides this year than ever before. Let us have more manufacturing enterprises. An exchange says: "Dealers in liquors and tobacco should take note of the fact that the law in regard to special taxes on these articles, had been changed by a re? cent Act of Congress so as to make the tax year begin the same time as the fiscal year, viz: July 1st and end June 30th. Returns will, therefore, have to be made on May 1st for the two months ending June 30th, and again on July 1st for the year ending June 30th, 1892."| There is now not the slightest doubt, according to the physicians, that the grip has assumed an epidemic form through? out the country. The simultaneous attack of dozens of people with almost the same symptoms, bears out this belief, and while it differs somewhat from the grip of last February, it is not a whit more com? fortable. The druggists are doing a thriv? ing business in consequence of the epi? demic. Last Sunday night Messrs. Edwards B. ! Murray and James L. Tribble were or? dained Deacons in the Baptist Church, of this city. They are young men of good Christian characters, both lawyers, and well qualified to fill the office of Deacons. Three of the Deacons of the Baptist Church are lawyers, which speaks well for the Anderson bar. Revs. Dr. Bailoy, H. B. Fant and R. H. Smith, composed the Presbytery for ordination. Madame Fry's Concert Company, which will appear in the Opera House next Saturday night, will, from present indications, be greeted by a large audi? ence. Tickets are now on sale at Hill Bros'., aud we advise you to go and Be enre your seat at once. The Company's programme is very refined and interest? ing, and when such troupes visit us we should qive them a liberal patronage. Wherever the Company has appeared it has more than pleased its audiences. Southern Christian Advocate: "Rev. J. Walter Dickson, the new Presiding Elder of Oraugeburg District, spent a day in Co? lumbia recently. He is delighted with his charge and "the elegant reception given him by the kind and hospitable people of Orangoburg. If hejdoes not find our native County, Orangeburg, the garden spot of South Carolina, its citizens among the cleverest* aud best, its women the hand? somest, and its* babies the sweetest and grittiest?then he had better get out of the ounty, that's all! A man with such poor taste ought to be made to 'move on.' But Dickson knows a good thing when he sees it, and we have no doubt will soon be as enthusiastic over Orangeburg as was his predecessor, Bro. Clyde." Tt is. in *ome rpspeet, a pleasant, episode to have a book ngent break in on you sud? denly when you uro deeply engaged in an important matter. It i9 rather like a Hash of lightning striking a dead tree, it gives new life for a moment?makes a flurry. He comes in with such a rush, throws out bis cheap literature in such haste, and multiplies reasons why you should buy in such numbers. The book agent may bo a necessary evil after all. Read the appeal from School Commis? sioner Wardlaw in another column, for more comfortable school houses. No community should be without a good, comfortable school house well furnished, ami the appeal should be heeded. In many localities there are now just sue1', houses hh should bo in every vicinity, but there are other places where the school houses ijo not !<pGak very well for the pa? trons These houses should be built and furnished by the patror.s without taking the! public school funds. Read the appeal and heed it The New? and Courier, of last Friday, says: "Mr. J. F. Norris has received "a jiiil?"- from his brother, Mr. D. K. Norris, a; Pendletoii. Ho Rays that the rumor that. he. was stricken with paralysis is not true. The cause of his prostration was a dyspeptic complaint, but he is now better. Id closing his communication to his brother; he says: 'I had just returned from Columbia in good condition, and by 1 o'clock that night was very badly off. .1 hope to regain strength with a return of appetite;' " We join Capt. Norris' friends in wishing him a speedy recovery. It a curious Tact that there is only one weekly German illustrated newspaper in the United States. It is the German edi? tion of the famous Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, and it is not surprising that it has a very large circulation. It is sent three months for $1, the same as Frank Leslie's Illustrated Navspaper, and an an? nual subscription of ?4 entitles the sub? scriber to a magniuciont fac simile of the "Angelus'' in eight colors; a work of art worthy of a place in any one's parlor. Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper this week is full of beautiful pictures. Get it at your newsdealer's for ten cents, Mrs. Saphroney Harper, wife of Mr. Wm. Harper, ofGarvin Township died at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. Man? uel Horton, in this city, last Friday after? noon at 5 o'clock. Mrs. Harper had been in feeble health for some time, and had come to the city to be treated by a physi? cian. She was about 70 years of age, and a consistent member of the Baptist Church. Her remains were interred in the Lebanon Churchyard on Saturday. The husband and two sons and three daughters left to cherish her memory have many sympathizers in their bereave? ment. Mrs. E. F. Alewine, wife of Mr. John D. Alewine, died at her home near Antre ville, in Abbeville County, last Monday night, and the announcement of her death will be heard with sorrow throughout the lower section of this County, where she was well known. Mrs. Alewine had been in feeble health for a long time, but her illness was not considered serious until about two weeks ago. She was about 56 years of age, and had spent her life in such a way that she was fully prepared to meet the summons of death. In her early life she joined the Baptist Church, and was a most earnest, active member. She will be greatly missed in her neighborhood, and her memory will long be cherished by her many friends. She leaves a hus? band, six sons and one daughter to mourn her death. On Wednesday the remains were interred in the First Creek Church? yard, Rev. R. D. Hawkins conducting the funeral services. Maj. John R. Williams died at his home in Central last Saturday morning, after a short illness with pneumonia. Maj. Wil? liams was a son of Jasper Williams, and was born and reared in Anderson County, where be has a host of friends and rela? tives who regret exceedingly to hear of his death. For several years he was engaged in the drug busiueaa in this city with Dr. P. A. Wilhite, and was highly esteemed by all who kuew him. At the com? mencement of the war Maj. Williams, though quite a youth, entered the service of his country in Co. L., Orr's Regiment, and was soon elected a Lieutenant. His old comrades say that the Regiment did not have a more gallant or daring soldier than be. Maj. William) lived a consistent Christian life, and had been a deacon in the Baptist Church for a number ol years. His remains were interred at Easley last Sunday afternoon. A devoted wife and three little children are left to mourn his death. The County Examing Board of Pensions will meet next Monday for the purpose of considering applications for pensions, as provided for by the laws of South Caro? lina. There were no changes in the Pen? sion Law by the last Legislature, and the County Boards are expected to follow the same rules governing them the previous year. In a circular just issued to the Board, the Comptroller-General says: "When all applications shall have been acted upon, then the County Examining Boards of Pensions and the Board of Pen? sion Commissioners elected by the survi? vors of the respective Counties, shall meet together and examine the pension roll for Buch County, aud select therefrom such numbor of the most needy applicants as will be sufficient to consume the appro? priation of such County, allowing to each applicant so selected the sum of three dol? lars per month from such appropriation. In selecting such applicants for pension the said Board shall have regard to the physical and financial means of such ap? plicants, and also to the financial condi? tion of the near relatives of the several ap? plicants, and shall, in every instance, se? lect the most helpless and needy appli? cants for aid that can be found upon the pension roll.''_ Capt. Martin Stricken With Paralysis. The readers of the Intelligencer will read with sorrow this announcement. L?st Tuesday afternoon, during the meet? ing of the Directors of the Farmers?' and Merchants' Bank, in the Bank building, in this city, Capt. Thomas W. Martin, of Broadaway Township, was stricken with paralysis. The stroke came on gradually, aud the Captain, knowing that he was be? ing paralyzed, continued to act on such matters as came up for consideration, vot? ing by proxy even after be was unable to put his hand in his pocket to get his au? thority for so doing. He did not evince any excitement at the approach of uttter helplessness, and finally unconsciousness, but was quiet, and caicu until ?very fac? ulty refused to act. Capt. Martin was one of Anderson County's most worthy and respected citi? zens, enjoying the perfect respect and con? fidence of all who knew him. Most hon? orable and upright in all relations of life, conscientious aud faithful in the discharge of every duty, wide awake aud pro? gressive in his ideas, he had gathered about him a large circle of friends, who will feel profoundly sorrowful upon read? ing this chronicle of oue of our noble men. Capt. Martin was born in this County in 1823, being now in the GStb year of his age, and has lived in this County all his life. He was a very hale and hearty man, being full of energy and life, always cheer? ful and hopeful. He served through the late war in Hampton's Legion, being a man full of valor. Long years ago Capt. Martin joined the Baptist Church. He was liberal and full of charity. He was a farmer, and made a success of farming, having began life in very moderate circumstances, and by hard work and economy accumulated a nice property. He was a Director in the Far? mers' and Merchants' Bauk, Beltou Oil Mill and the Anderson Co-operative Store. He has been twice married, aud has a do voted wile, five sons and three daughters. As soon as his condition was discovored,' Drs. W. H. Todd and J. O. Wilhite were sent for, and had him removed to the Ho? tel Cbkmola, and did all that could be done for him. His family was sum? moned to his side, but they failed to reach hitn before he was unconscious. Since the above was written and put in type, Capt. Martin has died. Ho breathed his last on Wednesday, at 12 o'clock, just twenty-four hours from the timo he was stricken. He never regained consciousness. His remains will be interred to-day (Thursday) at 11 o'clock a. in., at the old Rice family burying ground. The grief stricken family have many sympathizers in their bereavement. Cedar Grove. The health of our section is very good, Christmas passed off very quietly, and everybody, it seems, has gone to work with a determination to make 1891 a suc? cessful year. Miss R. J. McNinch has a large school. She has about seventy scholars enrolled, and if anybody can manage or control that number, she certainly can. We have a man in our section who can't say six words on any subject without say? ing "chicken." It is a singular affliction. "Jumbo" wants to go to Columbia very bad. I hope somebody will provide him with an ox and a sled, aud let him go down. Mr. W. C. Mahaffey had a cow that was giving two gallons of milk a day. Sud? denly she -went dry oi- would not give any milk, and Mr. Mahaffey could not account for it. Two weeks elapsed, aud oue day he accidentally discovered that his pig.s wero draining the cow of all the milk aho had. She was put out of roach of the pigs, and is now supplying tho family with the usual amount of milk. try heat and oats are looking very well. . Baldhead. - An Earnest Appeal. Mn. Eiiitor: I feol constrained, by the complaints that como to mo from various sources, to make an earnest appeal to tbe ppopie of this County in behalf of the schools. Some may say this is unneces? sary, but others will know the absolute necessity for the relief I ask for. Some of our school houses are not com? fortable, not eyen sufficiently so to prevent the teachers and pupils from suffering from cold during this severe weather. Tbis ought not so to be. The parents should provide suituble school houses, and make them close enough to be kept warm- They should also supply the schools with* stoves or lire places, and plenty of wood. I make tbis appeal to you all in behalf of the teachers and chil? dren. In some instances, while visiting the schools, I find the children during the recitation hours with shawls and other wraps on, and I even notice occasionally a teacher wearing a cloak while at work. This ought not so to be. In the name of humanity, and for the health and comfort of your children, I beg you to see after tbis matter at once. Do not look to or de? pend on the public school fund for pay for it either; let that money go for tuition, and you furnish the other aids. I beg the pa? trons of each school to meet nest Satur? day at the school house and make what? ever repairs that are necessary, or arrange to have them made. I do not wonder, and am not surprised that children do not want to go to school to suffer. And it keepB the teacher all the time in an ill mood. Don't take the public funds for this; do the work yourselves, or pay for it out of your pockets, and let the children have tbe public money. I make this earnest appeal, hoping that it will be promptly heeded, and that the children will be cared for. Earnestly and respectfully, C. Warolaw, School Com. [For the Intelligencer.'] THE CITY OF THE DEAD. The dead leaves whispered as I passed, And their rustling seemed to say, That other feet o'er them had trod, That now in the church-yard lay. The wind moaned through the leafless trees, ?Bearing its tale of love or woe, To those who were joyous with life and light, And a requiem for those lying low. The tall grass waved in the autumn breeze, And sighed as to tbe earth it was bent, A chord touched the golden sun-barred aky, That a melancholy radiance lent. I, too, sighed, as name after name, On each marble shaft rose high, 1 pondered what thought each bosom had stirred, Ere that dread summons came to die. I first stopped by a monument, With wreaths of laurel strewn, Which told of deeds that make men great, And how honor's crown was won. Then I turned me to a woman's grave, Where violets with geen lay entwined, I dropped a tear for the mourner's heart, Where her image I knew was enshrined. And just where the green trees cast their shade, A tiny grave white marked was seen, It told what joys a birth had given, But shadows had rolled between. Yet onward I passed, forgetting not, That this was sacred ground, Treading softly, and with lowered tone, Paid tribute to each grass-grown mound. Then, in a reverie profound, I gazed long upon the earth, Man's glory ends here in the tomb, And sorrows his from birth, A calm that was holy came over my soul, Whispering sweet and low, this is sleep, Give a tender thought, thy heart's best gift, For the harvest which death must reap. Then, in communion with my heart, A lesson engraved by years was given, All tbis told of the life of man, Yet more was known in Heaven. Anderson Presbyterian Church-yard. Andersonvllle Items. Mr. D.
