Bell, Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, with headquarters at Rich? mond, Va., has been spending a few days in the city, and last Sunday occupied the pulpit of the Baptist Church. Mr. Bell was formerly pastor of the Bap? tist Church, and his numerous friends here were glad to greet him. The freshets of last week did very little damage to the bridges in the County. The bridge at Jackson's mill, over Rocky River, is badly wrecked, but people are still crossing it; also the bridge at Mil ford's upper mill, known as Tucker's bridge, was damaged to some extent, but has been repaired at a very small expense.

Many persons hesitate about sending a postal-card or other information to a newspaper regard? ing the movement of themselves or their friends, lest the editor should think them anxious te see their names in print. He will think nothing of the kind ; he is glad to get such notes. Send a few and see. While on our way to Abbeville last week we spent an hour or two at Hodges, and among thone who we had the pleasure of meeting was Mr. W. H. Emmeraon, formerly of this County. Mr. Emmerson, who is one of the leading merchants of the town, was burned out a few months ago, but he has rebuilt and is getting on his feet again. He ia doing a good business, and the Intelligencer hopes he will never be so unfortunate as to be visited by fire again. The lady teachers of the Williaraston Female College will have a musical con? cert and art exhibit, for the benefit of the College Studio, in the College Chapel on to-morrow (Friday) evening. Admis? sion, 25 cents; children, 15 cents; re? served seats, 40 cents. Tickets on sale at Gossett & Brown's Book Store. Wo know the programme will be an interest? ing one. The citizens of Williamston should see that the ladies are greeted by a large audience. We would direct especial attention to Mr. W. A. Chapman's new advertisement, which appears in another column. As is well known, Mr. Chapman handles noth? ing but the best of goods, and he keeps hia stock full and complete. He is now re? ceiving his Spring goods, and it will pay you to give him a call and inspect them. He is offering his remnant of winter goods at cost. Tho ladies should also re? member that he is agent for Ball's cele? brated corsets. Capt. J. C Stribling enlivened oorsanc turn with his cheerful face for awhile last Saturday. That morning when the Cap? tain started from home he entered an open hallway to get his best hat, which hung on a rack, but when he picked it up he j , was surprised to see a little bird fly out of it. Upon examination he found a bird's nest in the hat. He would not disturb it, but hung the hat back on the rack and will await results. We hope this is au omen of good luck to the Captain. During our visit to Abbeville last week we had the pleasure of meeting our old friends, Capt. S. N. Williams, the popular conductor on the Abbeville branch, and Mr. Chas. D. Brown, the efficient agent of the R. & D. R. R. at Abbeville. The for? mer is a native of Williamston and the latter a native of Anderson, and, of course, both are always delighted to greet an An? derson man. The R. & D. system has no . more accommodating or efficient employ? ees in its service than these two gentlemen. We spent several hours in the thriving town of Greenwood last Friday, and en? joyed our stay very much. The mer? chants seemed to have all they could at? tend to, and new enterprises and new railroads aro being talked of by every citi? zen. We called to see our old friend A. J. Sproles, lut he was out of town. How? ever, we met his brother, Mr. J. W. Sproles, who is ono of tho town's most progressive merchants. "Mine host" Hi ley, of the Greenwood Hotel; gave us a most excellent diunor. Greenwood has a live set of citizens, and they aro deter? mined to leave nothing; uudono that will ,, advance the prosperity of their town. Mr. J. H. Clarke lias a word to say to the readers of tho Intelligencer, to which we invite your attention. Spring is hero, and of course every young man wants a nico, new suit of clothes. Mr. Clarke is prepared to supply this want, and will guarantee satisfaction to every patron. Mr. Clarke's business is gradu? ally increasing every year, and he now gets a great many orders from neighbor? ing towns. He is endeavoring to build up a large tailoring establishment in An? derson, and doserves your patronage. In a circular to the subordinate lodges of the Kuights of Honor in South Caro? lina, the Grand Dictator, Maj. P. K. McCully, of this city, notes the fact that South Carolina occupies the second place of honor in the Supreme Jurisdiction? next, to Louisiana. She did more last year to increase the numerical strength of tho order.than any other State. He advises the membership in South Carolina not tobe content with being second, but strive to be first, and to go to work in earnest to win the prize, and ho thinks we can suc? ceed. Capt. G. P.. Stewart, Conductor of the freight train on the S. V. B. R. R., came near being killed last Tuesday night at McCormick by a youDg negro named Charlie Green, formerly of this city. Green was ordered to get off of the train, which was being shifted. When he got off he picked up a rock and, throwing it at Capt Stewart, struck him in the head and foiled him to the grouud. Green ran off, but was pursued and captured, and came near being severely dealt with. Captain Stewart was insensible for some time, but he received prompt medical attention, aod will soon recover from the wound. We would call special attention to the advertisement of the Equitable Life As? surance Society, of New York, which ap? pears in another column. This Company, while not the oldest one, is, as its state? ment shows, the largest and strongest in? surance Company in the world. YVeare informed by Mr. B, Frank Mauldin, their agent at this place, that this Company was the first iu this country to adopt the "ton? tine plan" of insurance, the benefits and advantages of which are attested by its unparalleled success. Those who contem? plate taking out life insurance might find it greatly to their advantage to call on Mr. .Mauldin and examine into tho merits of this Company before insuring. The Walhalla Courier, of last week, says: "Mr. Berry Poore died at his home, near Walhalla, last Saturday, from pneumonia. He had been sick about two weeks, hut was thought to be improving, until a day or so before, his death. He moved to this County from near Belton, S. C, two years ago and had become one of Oconee's most respected and substantial citizens. He was drawn as a juryman at the last term of Court, and it is said that while doing duty in this capacity he caught the cold which induced his fatal sickness. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn his death. After appropriate funeral ser? vices, conducted by Dr. J. 0. Lindsay, in the Walhalla Baptist Church, last Sunday afternoon, at four o'clock, his body was interred in the Baptist cemetery. A citizen of Piedmont tells the Green villo Enterprise and Mountaineer the following good one on Mr. Ambrose L. Cobb, post? master at that place: "A group of men were talking about the great strides' that has been made in the last forty or fifty years in labor-saving xnach.'r\Gry. One old man said he could remem-ber when wheat was cut with a reaphook and threshed out with a Mail; now they had threshing machines that cut the binds,' threshed the grain and stacked the ?traw. Another man remarked that he had seen a machine that threshed the wheat, stacked the straw, and also sacked the grain. Mr. Cobb now took the floor and said he had seen a machine that threshed the wheat, stacked the straw, ground the wheat into Hour and turned out 'good shortened bis? cuits.' Mr. Cobb was told to go up head." Mis." L'zzie Wliliam*, the popular pro? prietress of the Ladies' Store, has returned from iho markets, and her Spring and Summer goods are coming in by every train. She has purchased one of the largest and prettiest stocks of goods she has ever shown in Anderson, and it will do our fair readers good to go and look at tbeni. We have had the pleasure of look? ing at some of them, and to describe the many beautiful hats, dress patterns, trim? mings, etc., would take a big portion of this column. Miss Williams' long expe? rience in tho business enables her to buy just what will suit our trade, and at very low prices. She and her assistants con? sider it no trouble to show goods and quote prices, and will give satisfaction to every purchaser. Miss Whitner and Miss Watson are now in charge of the milli? nery department, and the ladies are cordi? ally invited to call and see the new styles for the season. Read the new advertise? ment and be sure to give the Ladies' Store a call early and often. Our Belton correspondent mentions a most terrible accident which happened to the little son of Mr. W. A. Geer at the Oil Mill, in Belton last Friday night. The little fellow had gone to the mill to see his uncle, Mr. E. T. Breazoale, who su? perintends the night force of hands. Shortly after entering the building some? thing got wrong with the machinery and Mr. Breazealc went out to fix it. The lit? tle fellow then started up-stairs, and, hav? ing to pass near somo of the machinery, it is supposed he attempted to step over the band and his right leg was caught and his body whirled around until the limb was torn loose at the hip joint and he dropped to the floor. His arms were broken, his skull crushed and his body terribly cut in several places. He was carried home, and strange to say, lived until 4 o'clock Saturday morning, though he never regained consciousness. The attending physicians say it was one of the most horrible accidents that has ever happened in this section. The afflict? ed parentB have the sympathy of their many friends in their bereavemont. The Columbia State, of the 19th inst., says: "A prominent Columbia man, who has watched with interest the success of the city's rising young men, yesterday gave some interesting facts about a self-made man?Capt. Henry Williams, the popular and reliable master of transportation of the Richmond and Danville system. Capt. Williams began work, when a mere lad, with the old Greenville & Columbia rail? road, in 1873, as an ordinary car coupler, and afterwards put on the road, and in 1877 was promoted to be a Conductor, in which capacity he acted until fifteen months ago. At that time he was pro? moted to the position which he has since so acceptably filled. Capt. Williams has the best wishes of his fellow-workmen in the high aud responsible position which he holds, and deserves great credit for the energy he has displayed iu working his I way forward." Henry is an Anderson County boy, having been born and reared 1 in Williamston Township, and we, with hie many friends in this section, have no? ticed his promotion with a great deal of pleasure. True merit and energy, which which friend Henry possesses an abun? dance of, never fail to be reoognized in a young man. Last Sunday night the services in the Baptist Church wore in memory of Rev. James C. Purman, D. D., recently deceas? ed. Rev. T. P. Bell, of Richmond, Va., presided over the meeting, aud read as a lesson the last chapter of Deuteronomy. He said that while Dr. Furmau, like Moses, had not been pormitted to possess and enjoy the reality of his hope, still he was allowed to live until ho could see it an assured fact?until he could see Fur man University fixed and established. Ad drosses were made by Col. J. B. Patrick, of the Military Institute, Hon. E. B. Mur? ray and.Prof. H H. Watkins, of Furman University. All of them paid glowing tributes to tho memory of Dr. Furman. Tho statement was ropeatcd by Col. Pat? rick that "o?ic such life as that lived by Dr. Furman was a complete refutation of skepti' cism and infidelity." Mr. Murray said, among other things, if it was true, as had been stated by one writer, that the good a man did was buried with him, what a grave would Dr. Furman's bo. How much it would contain! But it is not true, Dr. Furman is not dead. His body lies iu tho grave, but his lifo is still with us to inspire us to a nobler and better life. He was a groat and good man. Prof. Watkins said it is impossible to de? scribe Dr. Furman. Like somo beautiful flower, to know what he was you must have seen aud hoard him. The service was intensely interesting. The music was very good and appropriate. A very large audience was present from all the denomi? nations. This was a proper tribute of ro spect to the memory of a great man. Business called us to Abbeville C. H. last Friday, and we went down and spent tho night there. To say we enjoyed the trip would be feebly expressing it. On reaching the town about the first person we mot was Editor "Wilson, of that sterl? ing journal, tho Press and Banner, who at once took us in charge and made us his guest during our stay. Fortunately, the evening happened to bo the time for the regular monthly meeting of the Abbeville Literary Society, which is one of tho old? est and ablest organizations of its kind in the State. After a pleasant chat and a hearty supper, Editor Wilson invilod us to acconipuiiy him to tbe meeting, which invitation we gladly accepted". Tho So? ciety met at tho hospitabldliome uf our friend, Mr. Amos Morse, n sou of Rov. A. A. Morse, who, at one time, was pastor of the Presbyterian Church iu Anderson. At tho meeting wo mot several old friends and acquaintances, and soon felt at home. Our young friend, Dr. Frank E. Harrison, a native of Anderson, is now serving the Society as its President. The Society is composed only of the male Sex, and the meetings are held at the homes of the members. At each meeting a subject is selected for discussion at the next, and one mernbor appointed to write an essay on the same. The subject for this meeting was "Literature," and W. A. Lee, Esq., the essayist. Mr. Leo handled Uie subject in a most scholarly and interesting man? ner, aud when he hnd finished it was taken up aud ably discussed by several of the members. .Then camo the refresh? ments, which were elegautly served and highly enjoyed. The evening certainly afforded us a rich treat, and we regretted wheu the hour for adjournment camo. We are under many obligations to Editor Wilson for his kindness i?nd courtosios during our stay.

AnderaoirrlUe Items. The farmers are still very much behind with their work. Very little guano has been put in up to date. They say they were uever so far behind.
