A little school boy was recently asked to parse the sentence, ''Mary, milk the cow." He did so accurately until he came to the last word, when he said: "Cow is a pro? noun, feminine gender, third person sin? gular, and stands for Mary."

Adele Frost Compauy was greeted by a large and highly appreciative audience in the Opera House last Friday evening, and every One present seemed to be more than pleased with the excellent drama, "Ingo mar."

Tbe Spartanburg Spartan contains these words of consolation to the farmers: "There is no use for farmers to get dis? heartened about tbe late start they are get ting. They have to the 15th of May to prepare laud and plant. One horse and a good hand can prepare an acre a day either for cotton or corn. It will take him only thirty days to prepare thirty acres. The planting can be done in ten days. Out of tbe next seventy-five days there will probably be forty good work days." j Every day the fact is more fully verified I that cotton seed hulls is the coming food for cattle. Statement after statement from the best farmers in tbe land show that the hull (after tbe oil and meal are taken therefrom) is far superior as a food to the green seed. This seems unreason- j able, but is a fact that will be substantiated I by all who have tested it or know from observation. It is said that you can fat? ten a beef on these hulls at the small cost of four cents per day, and for making but? ter and milk there is no food superior. Tne knitting mill is an assured fact. More than $12,000 has been subscribed to tho capital stock and subscriptions are still comming in. The shares are only $25 each, payable in installments at 25 cents a week.

Earle Seaborne died at the home of his nephew, Mr. R. Duff. Sloan, in Piedmont, last Monday morning, after an illness of several months with consump? tion, aged about 56 years. Mr. Seaborn was a son of Maj. Seaborn, deceased, and was born and reared in this County, near Pendleton. He had been a resident of Boston for several years past, and came to this section to spend the winter with rela? tives for the benefit of his health. His remains were carried to Pendleton for interment. He was an excellent man, and his death has brought sorrow to a host of friends in the upper section of the County, where he was well known. A wife is left to cherish his memory. The Greenville News, of the 15th inst., pays the following tribute to one of our fellow-citizens: "Capt. J. B. Patrick, superintendent and founder of the Patrick Military Institute, of Anderson, was in the city yesterday. Of the many brainy educators in South Carolina, Cap Jain Patrick is the peer of any. He grad? uated from the Citadel Academy when that institution ranked with the best in the country, and is intuitively a military man. This, combined with a splendid education, a perception of what is required in the training of a boy, and all the qualities of a high Christian gentleman, make him pre-eminently qualified to guide an institu? tion that bas been a success from its start and is tho pride of Anderson and the people of the State. The young man who finishes a course in the Patrick Military Institute, can go out to the battle of life feeling assured that ho is as fully "equipped for tho struggle ?3 any one. Not a few young men. who strove for an education will long remember the encouragement and assistance given thoni by Captain I Patrick." Anderson is to have another Bank, to be known hh the Anderson Loan and Ex? change Bank, with a capital of $75,000. The shares are ?50 each.

D. Brown, Sylvester Blecklcy, J. W. Robinson, W. A. Clink scales and J. M. Sullivan.

Brown, R. S. Ligon, W. P. Snelgrove and R. P. Clinkscales, has been appointed by the corporators. Sub? scriptions are limited to $1,000 to each stockholder. The books will close May 1st.

A. Frierson, the beloved wife of Rev. D, E. Frierson, D. D , died at her home in this city last Tuesday morning, at i o'clock. She bad been in feeble health for several years, though was confined to her bed only about two weeks preceding her death. Her mind was perfectly clear almost to tbe last moment, and she passed away fully realizing that she was entering into that lest from whence no traveller returns. Mrs. Frierson was born and reared in Darlington -County, and was about 55 years of age. She came to An? derson with her husband and lamily about twenty years ago, and by her gentle, lov? ing disposition soon attracted around her a wide circle of friends, every one of whom will long cherish her memory, and who deeply regret her death. In her early maidenhood she united with the Presbyterian Church, and was over a most faithful and zealous member. As a wife, a mother and a friend she has left hallow? ed memories behind her.

A certain young lady of Anderson County recently informed a minister of the gospel that when he performed the marriage ceremony for her and her in? tended, he (the preacher,) must require the bridegroom to pay him for his services, but that sbe expected the preacher to turn the fee over to her: Mr. A. E. Vandiver some time ago lost a navy blue overcoat, with a pair of chil? dren's shoes in the pocket. The coat was lost on Liberiy Hill, about one mile south of Anderson C. H. The finder will be liberally rewarded by leaving the coat at the Farmers' Store in Belton. Hurrah for the Belton boom! It has come to stay. Mr. W. A. Geer, of our town, is the champion dealer in horses and mules in this section. If yon want a good animal cheap, give him a trial. Purchasers come from a considerable distance to buy from him, because it is to their advantage. The handsome dwelling which Mr. J. W. Poore is building for Rey. J. T. Smith, is now nearing completion. The namo of two new pupils were en? rolled in the Belton High School last Monday. The school is in a very flourish? ing condition.

It has beeu quite awhile since I paid my compliments to the Lntelligenceb, and the happenings in the Kingdom have been various and interesting. We have had line rains, and a good time to stay in doors; a good time to get acquainted with our wives and children? I mean those who are so fortunate as to have them. Your humble scribe "is not in." There is considerable sickness in our comniunit}'-. Mrs. Annie Casey is very ill with cctarrhal fever. Mr. J. P. Gambrell has had a severe spell of sickness, but I am glad to say he is convalescent Dr. Duckworth i a-jSia in the saddle, or rather in his cart. Be that as it may, he is tho right man in the right place. Find him whore you may, ho has busi? ness there, and knows how to aitend to it. Bachelor No. 2 aud his Jersey pig are attracting considerable attention and caus? ing some comment. His sister thinks ho has pig on the bruin. H2 (the bachelor I mean) had the good fortine yesterday to meet his best yal, as he thiughl, and pitched into a first-class couitship, but he says it was like a clap of thunder when she mod? estly informed him that ho was sparking a young wife. She had married on lust Thursday. Well, it is generally conceded that Eli? jah, (not the prophet) with a six-foot ox goad, and Oliver with a box of matches and a pack of lire-crackers, can mount a cart behind "Tobias" and "get there, Eli." Mr. G. W. Miller visited tho "King? dom" yesterday. I am sorry to say, how? ever, he did not call at the Mansion. I missed a good, hearty laugh, if nothing more. Mossrs.

" Klclcer's Column." Editors Intelligencer: Some news? papers have a "Kicker's Column." Can you give us one for awhile to kick against throwing red dirt on the streets to make mud next Winter ? K. Starr Locals. Our intention not to appear again before the reading public was short-lived. We Und tbe temptation of letting the light of our brilliunt ".Starr" so shine, altogether irresistible. Ilonce our excuse for other? wise uncalled for intrusion. News and gossip are a fearful scarcity just now. The lengthened, inclemency of the weather has prevented, almost exclu? sively, Dame Rumor's m<janderings. Her chattering tongue has taken a much need? ed rest. We feol rather safe in saying that two thirds of our average rainfall has already fallen. Farmors aro comparatively idlej most of them having boen, so far, unable to haul guano. Mr. J. A. Jones went on a bu&iuoss trip to Greenwood labt week. Mr. J. M. Stuart's residence is nearing completion quite slowly. Mr. John A. Shirley and his charming sister, Miss Lizzie, spent Saturday night and Sunday with Misses Lura and Fannie Jones. Miss Lizzie is one of Anderson County's most live and thorough teachers. She has been ill recently, but we are glad to note her entire recovery, together with her greatly improved appearance: Mr. John, from our understanding of the case, you have aroused a gentle spirit of emula? tion in CBrtain gentle hearts. Miss Lura Jones recently spent a week in the Roberts' neighborhood. Mr. Win. Jones has gone to Flatwoods, Ga., to superintend tbe erection of a dwel? ling house for his youngest son, John Jones. Mr. J. E. Seigler accompanied him. Mr. Langley, our town blacksmith, has moved back, after a protracted absence.

McCurry, who has, been prac? ticing in this community several years, will move to Hartwell, Ga., in a few days. We regret the Doctor leaving us. Mr. Osborne Cleveland, formerly of this County, died at his home in Franklin County, Ga., on Wednesday, March lltb, in his 92nd year, and was buried Friday following at Beaverdam Baptist Church. On the 9th inst. the mail failed to reach this place. High water the cause. A gentleman informed me that on Mon? day, the 9th iust, Tugaloo River was up eighteen feet and still rising at the rate of one foot in thirty minutes by the watch. I don't think tbe watch keeps railroad time. Mrs. Thos, Lindsay has been quite aick for the past week or so. We hopo she will be well soon. Mr. W. J. Hix, who has been confined to his room for some time, we are glad to say, is able Id be up again. We nope to see him in his former health soon. Rev. Mr. Percell, pastor of Beaverdam Baptist Church, preached an excellent ser? mon last Sunday. The Alliance at this place met last Sat? urday, Fair Play. Attention, Trustees. I most earnestly ask all the Trustees to let me know as soon as they can the amount of money necessary to be borrow? ed iu order to pay off the teachers for the present session of the public schools. I would also, in this connection, suggest to the Trustees to close the public schools before the funds are exhausted. Always leave a balance. in the Treasury. The greater this balance tbe better, until we get one year ahead in all the Districts. Thoso who do not ask for money to be borrowed may not get any. I do trust the Trustees will give this their attention. C. Wardlaw, School Com. A Tribute. Lucy Eskew, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph A. Eskew, died February 17, 1891, aged six years. Many were saddened when the news was told, "Little Lucy is dead," for by her sweet disposition, even in her short life, she had been endeared to many hearts. Dear, dainty, winsome little creature. Having been delicate all her life, and at times a great sufferer; yet she bora it so pa? tiently, always thinking of others' pleas? ure. We sympathize with her bereaved parents, sho being the only and baby girl. She was a very precocious child, soe had a wonderful memory and a sweet voice, of? ten singing song after song without making a mistake. The last song she ever sung was "Waiting for Me." May her loved ones, har parents and brothers, strive to meet her in heaven, where their darling will be wait? ing and watching for them God doeth all things for the best. . J. L. W. Union Meetings.

C. : I am in receipt, through you, of the Company's check for $3,G37.32 in full pay? ment of policy ($3,000) and accumulations on tho life of my late brother, Capt. Geo. D. Wallace, who was recently killed by the Indians at the battle of Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota. His policy only allowed him to engage in Military service in time of peace, yet he was killed in actual battle with the In? dians. In waiving the technicalities of the caae, and paying the policy without question, the Company has not only acted in perfect fairness, but with great liberality and ma? terially added to their well known reputa? tion for square and upright dealing with its members. Thanking you for your trouble in the matter, I am very truly yours, (Signed) R. M. WALLACE, Administrator. The above letter shows how the New York Life treats it policy holders.

All those who prefer continuing their loans on the instalment plan, and who find it inconvenient to pay back the balance still due on their loans, can seenre the ne? cessary funds from the Inter-State Building and Loan Aesociatien of Columbus. Ga. The Intcr-State is one of the oldest, strong? est, best and most economically managed, as is evidenced by its having the smallest expense fund of any National Association in the United States ; and this item of the expense fund is one that should receive particular attention, as the smaller the ex? pense the greater the profit and the quicker and more certain the maturity of the stock, assuring to the investor a larger cash re? turn on his investment, and to the bor? rower a lower rate of interest and quicker release from his debt. The Inter-State, haying 50.000 shares of Stock in actual force?shares on which at least six pay? ments have been made?has an assured monthly incora? of over $30,000, and, knowing positively what it can do, will guarantee to lend Anderson members $4,000 within sixty days from application, for a Board of 300 Bhares, and $8,000 in sixty days for a Board of 600 shares, all subsequent applications to be placed in their regular order and granted as soon as reached, and applications for loans can be marie at once upon organization of the lo? cal Board. Having the money we do not mako you wait. All interested will bene? fit themselves, the local Association and put more money in circulation in their town by calling upon the Special Agent of the Inter-State, Mr. A. R.

The benefits accruing to poor men from carrying life insurance nsjre recently had at least two striking exemplifications in this county in the deaths of Messrs. De Witt C, Holcomb and S. B. Brownlee. Each of these two bad only paid an annual premium and settlements were promptly made as soon as the necessary papers were made out. Brownlee and Holcomb were both insured in the Mutual Benefit, of Newark, N. J? which is represented in the Fork by G. N. C. Bolemau, and in this city by G. W. Miller. This is one of the strongest and most reliable companies; be? ing in its 46th year of existence and hav? ing 50 millions of assets. It deserves special mention for its prompt settlements, having adjusted Mr. Holcomb's claim v, ithin ten days ftom the time proof was made. "Delays are Dangerous."?Every one should promptly attend to this important matter and thereby protect their wives and children, in case of death, from the dread? ful inconvenience of poverty.
