Sons of Temper? ance holds its rpgular meetings on the I first," third and fifth Saturdays in each ! month at Welcome School House. Tbist I Division is doing a good work, and should ' be encouraged by all of the g?od people of that section. The friends and members of Roberts Church will meet on Saturday, 3lstinst.. to make arrangements for a Conceit arid hot sapper, which it is proposed to have in the near future. All who feel inter? ested in the proposed entertainment are invited to attend the meeting. The Mountain Creek sohool house, in Savannah Township, was destroyed by fire last week.. Miss May Russell, who is the teacher at that place, was given per? mission to use the Church until the school house could be rebuilt. The patrons have gone, to work in good earnest to rebuild. Our clever friend, Mr. B. A. MeConnell, of the* Corner,' has invited us down to take a big rabbit hunt with him. He tells us the rabbits are fat and plentiful. There is nothing we enjoy more than an old-fashioned rabbit hunt, and, if possible, we will visit our. kind friend in the near future. * . The report was current in the city last Saturday that our fellow-townsman, Dr. M. G. Parker, who-is in Cincinnati under medical treatment, was dead, but it proved to be false. The Doctor, however, is not doing so well, and, as soon as he is able to make the trip, will return home. Mrs. Parker is f.t his-bedside. 'News of the death of Mrs. Eva Morrow, wife of Mr. B.' F. Morrow, of Corner Township, has reached, us, but we have been unable to get the particulars. Mrs. Morrow was a Miss Dean. She leaves sev? eral children, two of them being scarcely in their teens. She has many friends and relatives who regret to giv?- her up. Somebody swapped umbrellas with Mr. C. Wardlaw at Church the other night, and he is trying to find the person. His umbrella was a new one, with a black .walnut smooth-staff, which had a round smooth knob as a handle. The one who has his umbrella will please Mr. Wardlaw by returning and getting the right one. The Cadets of the P. M. L will have a prize .drill in the Chapel on to-morrow (Friday) evening, beginning promptly at 7b o'clock. The best drilled Cadet in each Company will receive a gold medal. Their friends are cordially invited to attend and witness, the drill. The Chapel will be comfortably heated, and the occasion will no doubt be an enjoyable one.' Despite the disagreeable weather, the Madame Fry Concert Company was greet? ed by a large and appreciative-audience in the Opera House last Saturday night. The programme, which consisted of vocal and instrumental music and recitations, was an exceedingly chaste and interesting one, and elicited frequent applause. Madame Fry and her three daughters bave''very sweet and finely coltnred voices, and it is a treat to hear them sing. A man who gave his name as John Green was drowned in the Saluda River, at Pelzer, on Wednesday afternoon, 4th inst. The man was a stranger at Pelzer. He . went-there a few days &go and was given employment with a force of hands at work on the dam. While at work his feet became entangled in some ropes which work the boats and he fell over? board and was unable to extricate himself. Nothing was known of the man or where he came from. Last Sunday the Baptist congregation of this city was treated to two sermons by Rev. J. C Furman, D. D., of Greenville. The Doctor has many friends in Anderson who are always glad of an opportunity to hear him. He is a distinguished divine, and is now more than four score years old. His sermons were intensely interesting and in? structing. He is so mnch in earnest and so practical. We wish for him yet a num? ber of years of usefulness in the service of his Master. Mr. W. D. McKinley, representing D. Appleton & Co., is about through can? vassing this County selling Maps, Globes, Arithmetic, Reading and Writing Charts. We are informed that he has met with considerable success, having sold more than $1,000 worth. Charts are great labor saving helps. Those who nse thorn are -very mnch pleased with them and the Srogress the pupils make while using iem. It is the opinion of those who ough- ? know that it is money well spent We regret to learn that bur venerable friend, Mr. F. M. Glenn, who lives with his daughter, Mrs. J. P. Smith, in Garvln Township, met with a severe accident about two week a ago. He . was hitching his horsa to the buggy, when the animal started off suddenly, shoving him down. No bones were broken, but he was painful? ly bruised and otherwise injured: Mr. Glenn is now in the 74th year of his age, and one of Anderson County's best citi? zens. We hope soon to hear of his recov? ery. . .Mr. Thomas- J. Elgin died at his home near Seneca on the 7th inst., aged 69 years.. He was sick about fonr weeks with typhoid fever. His remains were in? terred at Seneca,. the funeral services being conducted by Rev. J. J. Neville. Mr. Elgin was born and reared in Abbe? ville County, but spent the greater por? tion of bis life in Anderson County. A few years ago he moved to Seneca. He had long been a member of the Baptist Church, and was a good citizen. He leaves a wife and several children, besides a host of friends, to mourn his death. We have received an invitation. to at? tend the'"Silver Wedding," or twenty fifth anniversary of the marriage'of Col. and Mrs. James A. Hoyt, which will be celebrated at their home in Greenville. S. G, on the evening of the 30th in .t. This happily-mated couple were joined in the holy bonds of wedlock in Ander? son twenty-five years ago, and they have a host of friends here who will join the Intelligencer in extending congratu? lations in advance, and wishing that they may live to celebrate their "golden wed? ding," at least. Eureka Church, in Broadaway Town? ship, has been completed, and will be ded? icated as soon as all of the subscriptions are collected and paid in, so as to pay off the indebtedness. The amount subscribed is amply sufficient to do this. Rev. D. Weston Hiott has accepted the pastorate of the Church, and will preach there regu? larly on the second Sunday of each month. The members of this Church certainly de? serve a little word of praise. They have a very neat house of worship, costing about $1,100. Within thirty days from the time work was begun, the building was ready for ocenpaucy. Last Thursday we had the pleasure of viewing five very fine hand-painted pic? tures at the home of Mr. J. H. Von Has? seln. The pictures are life-size, and were painted from Cabinet photographs of Miss Annie Webb, Miss Mop. Daniels, Mr. VonHasseln's little baby and his other two children, and of his sister, Mrs. Lizzie VonTruchsess, who resides in Germany. The pictures were painted in Hongkong, China, and were presented to Mr. Von Hasseln by his brother-in-law,' Captain Max VonTruchsess, who is an officer on the North German Lloyd steamship, "Bayern," travelling to East India. Mrs. Mary J. Cobb, relict of the late Josiah W. Cobb, died at the residedce of her son-in-law, Mr, J. B. McGee, in this city, last Thursday evening, in the 73rd year of her age. On F. Jay afternoon her remains were laid to lest in the Presbyte? rian cemetery, the funeral services being conducted by Dr. Frierson and Rev. R. H. Smith. Mrs. Cobb was born and reared in Alexandria, Va., and after her marriage came to Williamston, the home of her husband. She had long been a faithful j and consistent member of the Baptist Church, and was greatly beloved by a wide circle of friends, who deeply regret her death. She had been in feeble health for a year or more, but her illness was not considered serious until the day preceding her death, when a change for the worse came and she quietly passed away. She leaves six daughters and four sons, all of whom are grown, to mourn her death. In their bereavement they have the con? solation of knowing that a devoted mother has gone to dwell with the Angels, A few days ago a little darkey carried a note to the residence of Mr. F. M. Butler, on River Street. He was admitted to the sitting-room, and while Mrs. Butler ab? sented herself to another room for a few minutes, he stole a fine gold watch, chain and brooch, which weie on a dressing-case. The police were notified of the theft, and Officer King, in a short time, recovered the articles. The darkey had sold the chain, buried the broach, and given the watch to his mother. On account of the youthfulness of the prisoner, Mr. Butler .would not prosecute him, and he was dis? charged after receiving a good whipping from bis parents. Mrs. Frances Brauyon died at her home in Honea Path Township, near Barker's Creek Church, on Sunday, 11th inst., after a long arid painful illness, which she bore with the patience characteristic of a true Christiup. Her remains were interred in the Barker's Creek Churchyard, the funer? al services being conducted by Rev, G. M. Rogers, in the -presence of a large con? course of friends and relatives. Besides an aged and afflicted husband, she leaves two sons and six daughters to mourn her death. She hod been an exemplary mem? ber of the Baptist Church for more than forty j'ears. and was truly a good woman, whose death has brought sorrow to many hearts Just before going to press, the sad news reaches us that our old friend, Mr- John Brown, has passed away. He died at hiB home in Hopewell Township on Wednes? day morning, at 10 o'clock, after a brief illness with pneumonia. Mr. Brown was about GS years of age, and has resided in Anderson County all his life. He was strictly an upright, honorable man, and has left a clean record behind him. He was well known, and bis death will be heard with sorrow by all of his friends. We regret that we are unable to get suffi? cient information to give a more extended notice of his death in this paper. He leaves a wife, one son and two daughters to mourn bis death. The grRnd art display ot the White Sew? ing Machine Company at C. A. Reed's Emporium last Friday and Saturday/un? der the supervision of Miss Ida Sharpe, of Cleveland, 0., attracted a large crowd of our fair Bex, all of whom were charmed with the lovely articles on exhibition. The display consisted of curtains, por tierres, lambrequius, throws, pictures, Ac, all done on the White Sewing Ma? chine, and executed on the daintiest of materials. The pictures, which rivalled ; the most beautiful oil paintings, were Earticularly admired. The colors were tended in a remarkable manner, and one could hardly realize that the work had been done on a sewing machine. Some of this work was in the Company's exhibit at the World's Fair in Paris. Miss Sharpe was very attentive to the many visitors, and took great pleasure in explaining the method of doing the work. Mr. Reed is is agent for the White Sewing Machine Company. Mrs. Susan Crawford died very suddenly" of heart disease at the home of her son-in law, Mr. James M. Payne, in this city, last Monday afternoon, about 5 o'clock, and the announcement of her death was a great shock- to her friends and acquaintances. She enjoyed remarkably good health all of her life, and on Monday "was in her usnal health, complaining only of a slight pain in her breast. Late in the afternoon she lay down on the bed with a little sick grand-son, and in a short time afterward was discovered dead. Mra. Crawford was about 78 years of age, and was born and reared in Lexington County, S. C. She came to Anderson more than fifty years ago, and has resided here ever since. She was twice married, her last husband being the late Samuel Crawford. She was one of the oldest members of the Ander? son Presbyterian Church, and a noble, good woman. Her remains were interred in the Presbyterian cemetery on Wednes? day morning, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. C. B. Smith, In the ab? sence of Dr.. Frierson, her pastor, who is. sick. Entered Into Best. Another good man has been called from labor into rest. Prof. W. J. Ligon died at his home near this city on Thursday afternoon, 15th inet., at 4 o'clock, in the 61st year of his age. This announcement will be read with sorrow throughout this section of the State, for we doubt if there was a better known man in upper Caro? lina than he. - About a year ago Prof. Ligon was stricken with paralysis, and since that time has been confined to his room, almost a helpless invalid. His condition has remained unchanged for some time, but Sunday night preceding his death a change came over him, and in a short time he was rendered speechless and partly unconscious. In this condition he -remained until the summons of death came, which bad been expected at any moment. For this summons he was fully prepared, and he has gone now to enjoy the reward of a well spent life. His life and character has been such that it will be bard to find one who will fill his place. There is scarcely a boy or young man in this section bnt who will ever cherish his name and memory, and the writer, (one of -his old pupils), feels his inability to do justice to his many excellent virtues. It is certainly a sad doty to us to even at? tempt it. Many times have we listened to his kind words of encouragement and ad? vice, addressed not only to ourselves, but to our associates, and the seed thus sown will bear its imprint, no doubt, on genera? tions to come. Prof. Ligon was born at Prince Edward C. H., Va., February 12th, 1830. and in his youth his parents moved to Fairfield County, in this State. Being a studious boy and having the advantages of good training, at an early age he entered the South Carolina College, from which he graduated in 1849, before he was 20 years of ago. He chose the profession of a teacher, and at once entered upon-that grand and noble work. The first four years after his graduation he spent in teaching at Lexington, S. C. In 1856 he moved to Pendleton, and for the next ten years he was at the head of a flourishing school there. In December, 1866, he moved to Anderson, and here he has made his home ever since, the whole time, until two years ago, being spent in dis? pensing knowledge to tbe boys or girls under his charge. Of the forty years spent in teaching, twenty-six of them were spent in Anderson. Hr was a most practical and successful teacher. In bis discipline he was stern and positive, and when be could not impart knowledge to a pupil it was useless for any one else to try. His pupils are scattered far and near, and numbers of them are to-day bright and shining lights in their various voca? tions. Their success and attainments, each will agree, are due, in a large meas? ure, to the mental training received from him. What a monument to bis mem? ory ! Better than riches and political honor. In 1852 Prof. Ligon.married Miss Louisa Seibels, who, with eix"sons, survive him. In early life he joined the Methodist Church, and was throughout life a faithful, devoted, consistent member. As a bus band, a father and a citizen, he discharged bis duties well, and as an educator he had few equals and no superiors. At tbe Methodist Church on last Satur? day morning at 11 o'clock, in the presence of a large number of friends and relatives of tbe deceased, Prof. Ligon's funeral took 8lace. Rev. C. B. Smith, of the Methodist hurch, conducting the service. It was a most impressive and solemn occasion. Revs. Dr. Frierson, Dr. Manly, Gadsden, Col. John B. Patrick, and his pastor, Rev. C B. Smith, gave short talks concerning the life and work of the deceased. All of them referred to him as a man of indom? itable energy and unflinching -fidelity to principle. * A great many carriages were sent to his residence by friends, and a very long pro? cession of friends and relatives, accompa? nied by the cadets of the P. M. I., followed bis bod v to its last resting place. Messrs. S. M. Orr, E, B. Murray, John M. Hub bard, J. Feaster Brown, H. K. Sullivan, C. F. Jones, E. L. Clark and R. S. Hill were the pall-bearers. The following gen? tlemen acted as honorary pall-bearers: Gen. W. W. Humphreys, Col. Joseph N. Brown, Hon. B. F. Crayton, Col. John B. Patrick, Col. M. P. Tribble, MesBrs. G. W. Fant, J. C. Keys, Sylvester Bleckley, D. S. Maxwell and J. C. C. Foatberston, Esq. The ladies placed a profuse chaplet of flowers on his casket, At the conclusion of this last tribute of respect to one who has dono so much for Anderson and the surrounding country, his body was laid to rest in the Silver Brook Cemetery, until it shall be caught up to meet its Maker in the skies. Arrangements are already being made by his pu ils to erect a monument to tbe memory of their much loved and highly respected teacher. A meeting will be held next week at which a committee will be appointed to push forward this work of love. That beautiful glossy sheen, so much admired in hair, can be secured by tbo use of Ayer's Hair Vigor. There is noth? ing better than this preparation for strengthening the scalp and keeping it free from dandruff and itching eruptions. Leading physicians recommend Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Old and young take it with perfect safety. It cleanses the blood, strengthens the nerves, and vitalizes the Bystem. Popular experience has long placed this medicine at the head of tonic alterative*. A Social SesaloD. ' JOn next Monday evening, 2Gth inst., the abovo Company, with it* bright fun, clover commedian8 and magnificent Black Hus? sar Band and Orchestra will be the attrac? tion at J the Opera House. This Company is the most extensive one we have ever bad here and should have a big house. Speaking of the play, the' San Francisco Chronicle says: After a day of summery splendor, a clear, -starlight night aided in attracting many light hearted people bent on recrea? tion and the enjoymeni of musical pleas? ure, towards the California Theatre, to wit? ness "A Social Session." A splendid overture by the celebrated Star orchestra received the appreciation it so richly mer? ited, and the curtain promptly rose and disclosed the first scene of a three act ploy, which is just a'happy,gay, ludicrous com? bination of pleasant nonsense, well filled in with good singing and dancing, all of which excites fun and merriment without the slightest strain on the emotions. Shouts of laughter and continued applause testi? fied that the audience received all tbe amusement they expected. A grand bur? lesque on the era of II. Trovatore closed this captivating play. A Newsy Letter from IiOwndegvlllo. The new year greets the social world among the Seven Hills with a smile and an assurance far excelling the encourage-' ment it extends to business. The streets of our beautiful village are as free from the noise of wagon and cats hauling in then produce and purchasing their supplies as was ever known before at this season of the year. Tbis dormant condition of trade we nope soon to see broken, and a bright and lively turning "over of new leaves for a happy and peaceful year to follow. This somewhat discouraging status of financial affairs, however, has not caused our ener? getic merchants to cease their preparation for a large and extensive trade. Dr. J. B. Franks has sold his stock of drugs to Dr. B. A. Henry and Mr. R. J. Hutchison, who will continue business in the same building, and no doubt make it equally as much a successful enterprise as their predecessor. Mr. Hutchison is a young man of promising business, and carries with it an air of pleasing manners and social disposition that renders him Siite popular among his many friends in is town and vicinity. Dr. Henry, a gift? ed Georgian, is the coming physician of our community, and, like his co-partner, has many friends who are ever glad to hear of his success. Mr. E. W. Harper, formerly of East End, is bow of the firm of Harper <fc Lat imer, where he hopes to do a flourishing business with his co-partner,- Mr. A. L. Latimer, of West End. Mr. J. B. Franks returned from a busi? ness trip to Charleston last Friday. As president of the Lowndesville Banking Company be is kept hustling. Mr. J- E. Caston, through his energy and determination, has at last succeeded in permanently organizing a "Btring band" in our town. He has cosnsulted Mr. C. A. Reed, of Anderson, in regard to the price of instruments, and will no doubt be able to furnish some good music very soon. James A. McCallister, a rising Nationite, has made this his headquarters for deliver? ing his books and writing his belles-letters. Tbe pen tbis young gentleman and friend of ours wields is simply surprising. His literature is appreciated by comrades, and there is no doubt, if he does not appear in some periodical too soon, but that he will make a name for himself. This writer wishes for his friend all the success imagi? nable. Mrs. T. Baker and Mrs. J. B. Franks left last Monday to visit Augusta during the Carnival. Mr. J. M. Baker is now at Abbeville at? tending Court. Mr. D. L. Barnes has sold his property here to Dr. James B. Moseley, and will leave in a few days for Tennessee, where he expects to settle. His many friends regret very much to see him go from their midst. Mr. J. T. Latimer has finished a very neat store-room, and will in a few days be prepared to serve his trade* James Burdette deserted his family dur? ing the holidays and all attempts thus far have been in vain to ascertain his destina? tion. He is a contractor and builder by profession. The many friends of Adjutant-General M. L. Bonham are pained to know his sad misfortune. He was acknowledged as one of Abbeville's most promising young men and now that he is wounded, as it were, in the prime of his career, comes to the ears of his loved ones with a feeling of more than regret. We cannot believe that the once high and honorable Bonham, Ad? jutant-General of the State of South Caro? lina, has taken a deliberate step to everlast? ingly blot and ruin his fair name, and abuse that trust placed to his honor by true and sincere friends. We cannot believe this short-coming was premeditated,-and tho' fallen in esteem and confidence throughout the length and breadth of his country, he should yet receive to his credit from public opinion the fact that public men as well as others in different.life are not infallible. Mistakes are not dishonorable unless inten? tional. Old Eyes. Honea Path Items. Miss Macie Latimer spent last Sunday night in town. Mr. J. Frank Smith, of Augusta, Ga, is visiting his brother, Dr. W. B. Smith. Rev. Watson preached an interesting sermon in the Methodist Church last Sun? day afternoon. The Presbyterian pulpit will be vacant next Sunday. Mrs. A. C.

We hear that some one had given the Rev Mr. Hiott a Christmas turkey, and somebody was so mean and low down that they stole it. Don't you think, Mr. Editor, that any body who would steal a chicken or turkey from a poor preacher deserves to be whipped or hanged, or both? Mrs. W. T.

Aiken", S; C, Jan. 16, 1891. To tlie Editors of the Anderson Intelligen' ccr: Please allow me a little space in your valuable paper to express my unaffected emotions of sorrow and regret at the news, which I get through the News and Courier to-day, of the death of your honored townsman, Prof. W. J. LIgon. One of my pleasantest anticipations in con? nection with our recent Conference, in your city was my probable social reun? ion with some older members of the Methodist Church whom I used to know and love as their pastor more than twenty years ago. Prof. Ligon was one of these. His delicate health made it impracticable for me to visit' him. I desire here to re? cord my high estimate of his sterling qualities. It took me some time to know him well, but when I did get to know him well, I found him to be one of the finest specimens of a genuine, whole-souled, high-toned Christian gentleman I have known. For a man of his intelligence and capabilities, he seemed to be unnat? urally and unreasonably diffident? seemed so to me, at least, at the time when I knew him intimately. There is no great propriety or good reason in my writ? ing this short tribute above any other of his different and various'" pastors. And yet, I feel like writing it. I shall be present in spirit with you as you lay to rest?dust to dust?the body of this good man. Life's duty done, as sinks the clay, Light from its load the spirit flies; While Heaven and earth combine to say, "How bleat the righteous when he dies!" 8. A. Weber, South Carolina Conference. Death of Urs. Uppens. Editors Intelligencer : Mrs. Lavinia Tippens, a most estimable lady, died at her home near Holland's Store on Tuesday, the 13th inst., after a few days illness from pneumonis. In ber death the community has lost one of its brightest lights, the two little children a fond and devoted mother, and the sorrowing husband a faithful wife. By her daily walk she exemplified the true Christian, which she was; and death was met as calmly as if starting on an earthly journey. All was done by the sorrowing husband and kind friends to restore her, but the golden bowl hod been broken, the silver cord severed, and her spirit soared away to its home beyond the skies. The bereaved husband and little children have our warmest sympathies, and we commend them to our Heavenly Father, who doeth all things well. Mrs. Tippens joined the Baptist Church some two years ago, and daily gave evidence of her acceptance above. The remains were interred by the side of two children the following day at the Sandy Springs Cemetery. S. A Safe Investment.
