Dunlap, who is now a member of the" California Conference of the M. E. Church, he in? forms us'that he is enjoying good health and getting along well with his work. His numerous friends in this section, we know, will be delighted to hear this re? port from him. ' Mr. W. C. Petty dropped dead at Gaff ney City last Thursday afternoon, while in an office making his tax return. Mr. Petty was well known in Anderson, hav? ing bought cotton here for several seasons past. He left here about, three weeks ago, having been called home on account of sickness in bis family, and the news of his death was a great shock to his numer? ous friends in Andersen. He leaves a wife and two ohildren. A correspondent of a popular journal says there is a homely fact that people ought to know in these days when we are getting a taste of an old-fashioned winter so that robber shoes .are in frequent re? quisition by all classes. He wishes to make it known that the easiest way to clean rubber shoes of any kind is to rub them with vaseline. They then clean much better and last longer than if they are washed with water. Mrs. M. S. Bamberg died at her home in this city last Thursday night, after a brief illness, aged about 30 years. On Friday the remains were carried to Orangeburg, the deceased's old home, where they were in? terred. Mrs. Bamberg, though a resident of Anderson only a few months, had made a number of friends here, every one of whom deeply sympathize with the bereav? ed husband who is left to cherish the memory of a devoted wife. Our esteemed friend, Mr. Joshua Pruitt, is making considerable3!improvements on his plantation in Centerville Township. He is enlarging, remodeling and other? wise improving his tenant houses. Mr. Pruitt is one of Anderson County's best and most successful farmers, and believes in having good, comfortable houses for his tenants to live in. This insures him good tenants, and other farmers would do well to follow his example. The sad news reaches Anderson that Mrs. C. 0- Spencer died at her home in Ashland, Miss., on Thursday, 29th ult. She was ill only a few days with pneu? monia. Mrs. Spencer was a danghter of. Mr. L.'T. Arnold, of Lowndesville, and has a wide circle of friends and relatives in this section, to whom the announce? ment of her death brought a pang of sor? row. She leaves a husband and five chil? dren to cherish her memory. Mrs. Alice Donnald, the beloved wife of Mr. John Q, Donnald, of this city, died at the home of her father, Hon. F. C. Ste Shenson, in Hartwell, Ga., on Sunday, anuary 25th, aged 28 years. Mrs. Don? nald leaves a devoted husband and three small children, the youngest an infant only two weeks old*. She had been a consistent member of the Methodist Church since her girlhood, and was a lady of many noble virtues of both heart and mind. Mr. Donnald has many sympa? thizers in his bereavement. Married, on Thursday evening, January 29, 1891, in this city, by Rev. D. E. Frier son, D. D., Mr. C. Edward Dellerfield, formerly of New York, but now of An? derson, and Miss C. E. Davison, of James? town, N. Y. Mr. Dellerfield came to An? derson several months ago to take charge of the water works and electric plant as manager, and is discharging his duties satisfactorily and is making many friends. Upon leaving homo, he left his heart be? hind him, and the longer he remained away the more anxious he was to again look upon its possessor. Finally he in? duced Im lady-love to come to Anderson. She arrived here last Thursday morning; and in a fow hours tbey were madn ono. We extend our congratulations to the happy bride and groom, and wish them a happy and prosperous journey through 1 life. 1 Mrs. Sarah H. Bohanuon, relict cl tne late John W- Bohannon, died at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. G- M. Steifel, near Carnesvillc', Ga., on Thursday, 29th ult., alter along illness, aged 8G years. Mrs. Bohannon was a native of Anderson Coun? ty, and lived just two miles south of An? derson. A few years ago she moved to Georgia to live with her son-in-law. She had .long boen a membor of the Baptist Church. Her remains were brought to Anderson last Saturday, and on Sunday afternoon were interred in the Baptist Churchyard, by. the side of hor husband, Rev. R.

Green, went over to Harr. County, Ga., last week and arrested Miles Stuart, a young white man, who is charged with being a party to the riot which took place in this County last Christmas in which the young man Brock was killed by Wm.; Gambrell, colored. Mr. Green had are c-uisition for Stuart, and had some trouble in locating him, but finally found him at a house about ten miles from Hartwell. Stuart, who has the reputation of being a dangerous character, showed fight, but Mr. Green soon had. the handcuffs on him and brought him to Anderson without any trouble. Mr. Green is a brave officer, and never stands back when 3uty calls him to the front. The Amati urPhotographio Contest car? ried on bj' Frank Leslies Illustrated Newspa? per has ended.

An Old Engineer. Under the heading of "Notes Around Town," the Greenville News, of Wednes iay, contains the following, which will be ?ead in this section with considerable in erest by the numerous friends of the gen leman named: ?. ''One of the oldest engineers in the coun ry is J. N. Smith, of this city. He is sev snty-two years old, and has been ten years iway from the. throttle. Mr. Smith was me of the first engineers on the Blue ?idge road, from Columbia to Anderson, leveral years before the Columbia & Greenville road was built to this city. ?or twenty-eight years he ran freight and passenger engines on these roads. A lumber of years he was a freight engin ier from Helena to this city, and in old ime railroad days it was considered good ?unning to make the trip between the two )laces in one day. After that he ran reg llarly on a passenger train from here to Columbia and back, and did not change in til he retired from work. "In twenty-eight years of actice service he lever ran over a human being and people dongthe line regarded him as so safe and rustworthy an engineer that they fre iuently waited a day or two to go on hiB rain. Two people who fell between cars vere killed. Mr. Smith, on a number* of )ccu8ious, stopped'his engine just in time 0 prevent killing some one. It used to be old as a joke on him that he would stop he engine to drive geese from the track. He was in a number of wrecks, h'owever, md was several times injured. The wrecks vere no fault of his, however. One time ;ome malicious person purposely changed 1 switch and the engine jumped the track md turned ov.er. Fortunately Mr. Smith vas thrown betwsen.the engine and ten ier and was only bruised. The railroad luthori ties say that he was one of the safest md best men ever on the line." Starr Locals. The perusal of "Tom's" communication. >f last week afforded us much real pleas ire. However, "Tom" cannot reasonably, lope to constitute himself an exception to' 'erring humanity." This being the case, ve beg leave, with all due respect to the tbove mentioned and supposed gentle nen, to supplement his remarks by some )thers of paramount importance. The rum and substance of the matter is: We hink "Tom's" wits must have been (lightly wool-gathering when he failed to refer, even indirectly, to our flourishing Starr High School. Education being the jasis of all true wealth and prosperity, low can we hope forjour "Starrs" to ap? pear unto others of the first magnitude, if heir educational interest is thus ignored ? We are' happy to say that onr school is in i most prosperous condition in everyway. The teacher, Miss Minnie Bell, from Ab? beville, having had professional training, of course is in every way fitted to be miB Lress of the situation on all occasions. Wo understand that the school will con? tinue ten months. By a united effort on. the part of both teacher and pupils, much good results will doubtless, follow. We go it on the principle that one can scarcely have too much of a good thing, hence onr exense for having expatiated at such, length on the school question. As we have usurped the rightful place of the aspiring correspondent, to cap the cli? max, and also to atone for it, we shall submit a few news gleanings. No preaching yesterday at Cross Roads. Cause?rain. Effect?the same as if there had been no rain. We were visited by a hail storm on Thursday last. . . More illness has been prevalent in our midst this year than we remember for sev? eral years past. Principally pneumonia and La Grippe. Mr. J. T. 0. Jones's youngest daughter, Kittio, has "been quite ill recently. We are glad to bear of ber convalescence. Two of Mr. J. Seigler's children are seri? ously ill with pneumonia. We hope soon to hear of their rapid recovery. The remains of Mr. John Long were in? terred at Cross Roads last Thursday. A large crowd assembled to pay a last trib? ute to one of our most honored, respected and beloved citizens. We extend our most hearty sympathy to the stricken family. Truly God moves in a mysteri? ous way His wondcra to perform. Mr. J. Morgan Stewart is having a new dwelling erected in Starr. Mr. P. B. Allen is having now tenant houses erected. Mr. F. M. Nelson has a contract for get? ting out cross ties for the Railroad. The appearance of Mr. W. J'. Gentry's residence has been much improved by an application of the painter's brush. Cotton is on a boom in Starr. Three hundred bales havo been delivered for shipment recently. Mr. F. E. Saddler has returned from Florida with his wife and son to again take up his abode in his native State. The young peopie are looking forward to the ball with the most ardeut anticipa? tions of pleasure. Judging from the ar? rangements that are being made, and also from the business managers, it bids fair to be a most flattering success. Mr. Hampton Giimor and sister, Miss Kelso, of Roberts, spent Saturday night and Sunday with Misses Lura and Fan? nie Jones. Unless, as in tho present case, we con? scientiously feel called upon for another criticism we shall, for the present, abdi? cate in "Tom's" favor. Long may ho live, and soon may he reach the topmost round of the ladder, in his chosen profession. "Jack." A Prize?Road This to the Children. I offer a beautiful Dissected Map of the United.

Editobs Intelligencer : I notice in your columns of last issuo reference to Mr. V- M. Price, wherein you give the Masonic fraternity the praiso for their at? tention, &o, to their deceased brother. Tho Masons, no doubt, are a very charita? ble set of people, but they need no special mention in this particular. Let praise bo given, however, to tho noble and good woman who so tenderly and affectionately nursed the deceased. No mother could have displayed more care and anxiety. May God bless and keep hor under His protecting care. The Deceased'*; Fjriekd. - "X Voice i?rorii (lie Kingdom. It is six weeks since I . gave you and your many readers a dose of "Sbankaol ogy," and without waiting to see whether yon need it or not, here it comes. Miss Bettie Smith, assisted by Miss Caro Miller, has a flourishing school at the Melton Academy. These young ladies seem to be at home in the school room, and the school is bound to bo a success. Mr. Burge3s & Co. are coming in to the Kingdom with their saw mill. I under? stand, tbey will be here on Wednesday next. They will find Beveral hundred stocks on the spot to begin with. ? The indications are that important im? provements will soon take place in the Kingdom. Several persons contemplate enlarging their habitations. Among the number is K. E. Melton and Luther Wil? son. Both are whistling at a mark?they are nearly the same age and both are glris. Dow Hicks is also quite musical. Don't know the gender, but it is a 10-pour,der. So you see, Mr. Editor, the baby crop promises to be fine, whether we get to sow oats or not. Mr. Frank Langston, who was living with Mr. J, P. Gambrell, had the misfor? tune to cut his ankle badly on last Friday. Mitch Harper, one of our most esteemed colored cltizeus, lost a valuable cow yes? terday. Mr. T. T. Wakefield, a close observer, and one of our best farmers, said some time about Christmas that he never saw a month of January that did not give good weather enough to sow the oat crop. How about it now, Tom ? It is raining like blazes, and the month will be out in two hours. Deputy Marshal Gary was in the King? dom a few days ago, seeking whom he might catch. The United States Court convenes at Ureenvllle on Monday, the 2nd of February. If nothing happens, I shall not be there. Well, the good people of the Kingdom, good as they are, are not quite as good as they might be. Many of tbem are wad? ing through my prayers and taking their letters to Anderson for mailing. ''Tbe ox knoweth its owner, and the .ass its mas? ter's crib; but my people doth not con? sider." Shanks. Motes From Savannah. It is enough to chase away the blues to listen to tbe sweet notes of Mrs. A. E. Scudday's canaries. She now has six. 'She devotes to them special attention, for which they well repay in happy songs. The latest curiosity in this community, is a grswn young man who owns a doll and plays with it. But he does not mean to spend the whole year in that way, for he has already confided to a friend his in? tention of visiting his sweetheart about the first of June next. A reading circle in onr midst would be a source of benefit and pleasure to the young people. Who will be kind enough to start one ? Miss Sallie Goss, a former teacher at Ivy Hollow, is now in the Senior class of the LaGrange Female College, at LaGrange, Ga. On tbe 22nd ult. a mule fell into a dry well on the plantation of Mr. R. R. Harris. The well was thirty-five feet deep, the bottom being solid rock. The animal remained there six or seven hours before arrangements could be made for pulling it out. It did not seem much worsted from its adventure, and is now able for work. Mules Certainly are tongh. Last Friday there were some special ex? ercises at the Poplar Spring "Institute!" as it is familiarly called. The spectators were well pleased with the exercises and with the surroundings as well. The school room is neatly furnished, having a full supply of patent desks and wall maps. It also has a Reading Chart, which is a valuable addition to any school room, for no better tool can be used for the advance? ment of the' little folks. The teacher, Miss Mamie Warren, is thorougly inter? ested in her work. Last, but not least, the supporters of the school are willing to {tay the full amount of their subscriptions ike honest men, and do not rake up old accounts in crder to shirk the payments of their just debts, remembering that there is more than one way of breaking the eighth commandment.

An Illustration Of the value of extensive and judicious advertising of any artiole of undoubted merit is found in the remarkable success of the California Fig Syrup Company, which has simply been phenomenal, even in this age of great enterprises. Organized a few years ago to manufac? ture a new and more perfect remedy than had ever been produced, a laxative with original and attractive features, prepared from delicious fruits and health-giving plants, one which would be pleasant and refreshing to the taste," as well as really .beneficial to the system, the management very wisely concluded to select the lead? ing ^newspapers throughout the United States to make known to the public the merits of the new remedy, 8yrup of Figs. Recognizing the Intelligencer as a most valuable,advertising medium,, arrange? ments were made with it for the attractive advertisement which appears in our adver vertising columns. As happens with every valuable remedy, cheap substitutes are being offered to the public, but with the general diffusion of knowledge it is becoming more difficult each day to im? pose on the public Health .is too impor? tant to be trifled with, andreputabledrug? gists will not attempt to deceive the pub? lic, as they all know that Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company, of San Francisco, Cal., Louis? ville, Ky? New York. N. Y. Do not ac? cept any cheap, non-advertised imitations if offered. As Wo Sec Ourselves. Puok. Man that is born of womau is small potatoes and few in a hill. He riseth up to-day and flourisheth like a ragweed and to-morrow or the day after the undertaker has him in an ice box.

The banisters of life is full-of uplintors, and he slideth down with considerable rapidity. He walketh forth in the bright sunlight to absorb ozone, and meeteth the bank toller with a sight draft for $357.

The successors of three of .the Re publicau senators', whose seats will be? come vacant this March wili be, two of them Democrats and ooe of them a Far? mers' Alliance man. The successors of three others remain still in doubt, while the successors of all the others, Republi? cans and Democrats, are of the same political faith as these whom they suc? ceed.
