Simpson, one of Piedmont's most substantial citizens, dropped iu to see us on Monday. He has just recovered from a severe attack of the grippe. He thinks the people of his sec? tion will plant as much cotton as last year, but he proposes to plant less and manure heavier. Mr. Simpson is one among the most successful farmers in the County, and his decision is doubtless correct. As many of our readers are interested in the game law and some of them mak? ing inquiries as to the time of limitation, we publish the provisions of the law. The Act passed in 1888, provides that be? tween the dates of April 1st and Novem? ber 1st, no person shall catch, kill, injure, or with such intent pursue, or sell or ex? pose for sale any wild turkey, partridge, wood-cock, quail or pheasant. Between the dates of March 1st and August 1st any dove under penalty of 825 or thirty days imprisonment. Some of our young readers may like to try the experiment of making a hanging garden of a sponge. Take a white sponge of large size, and sow it full of rice, hemp, canary, and other seeds; then place it in a shallow dish, in which a little water is constantly kept, and as the sponge will absorb the moisture, the seed will begin to sprout. When this has takou place, the sponge may be suspended by cords and bung where a little sunshine will enter. It will thus become a mass of green foli? age, and should be refreshed with water daily so as to bo kept moist. We regret we could not respond to the j kind invitation to attend the marriage cer? emony of our young friend, William A. Shirley, of Honea Path, and Miss Alice R.

Mrs. Nancy Sullivan died at the home of her sou, Mr. A. B. Sullivan, in this city, on Wednesday night, 8th inst., after an illness of about ten days. She was the Becond wife of Kelly Sullivan, deceased, and was 78 years of age. In early life Mrs Sullivan joined the Baptist Church, and daily gave evidence of her acceptance in the bright world above. During her illness she retained her right mind to within a few moments before she breathed her last, and expressed her willingness to meet the summons of death. She leaves one son and many friends to mourn her death. Her remains were interred at Shi lob Church on Friday morning, Rev. J. R. Earle conducting the funeral services. In some sections?and it would be a de? cided nrlvRncft in the thoughtfulness and kindness i'i all sections?farmers give each of their b?iy*. and girls, too, a strip of land io raise whatever they choose on it, and dispose ot the product for their own bene? fits. It is a favor that they all appreciate, and it is a pleasant and serviceable em? ployment for them in their leisure hours. They will vie with each other in their skill at raisine their little crops, and the pro? ceeds applied to their own uso are fre? quently of Bomo value, and the whole ar? rangement, while it instructs them in the cultivation of the soil, early implants in the children the idea of thrift and econo? my. Mr. John 0. Telford, who live3 in the neighborhood of Belton, mot with a pain? ful and serious accident last Monday. While plowing in a field he had to stop to adjust the gears, and while thus engaged was attacked by the, horse in a vicious manner. In the struggle Mr. Telford had the misfortune to have his leg below the knee broken and his knee cap crushed, besides receiving other injuries. He be? came entangled in the gears, and it is re? markable that he came off with his life. Mr. Telford says he cannot account for the attack by the horse, as he had always been regarded as safe. The accident is certainly a terrible misfortune to Mr. Telford, who is a hard-working, deserving man. There came near being a fatal accident in the city last Saturday afternoon. A mule had slipped its bridle, and was run? ning around the Court House Square. Mr. Wm. Hunnicutt, of the Five Forks section, was in the city, and iu attempting to catch the mule, it reared up and, throwing him to the ground, ran over him, stepping on bis head with its hind foot, cutting a deep gash in bis head and causiog a fracture of the skull. Mr. Hunnicutt was picked up in an unconscious state*and carried to Orr & Bloan's drug store. Dr9. Todd and Brown soon came to .him and dressed his wound. The wounded man was able to go home that evening, and our latest infor? mation is (o the effect that be is getting along as welt as possible. Isaac Piner, a colored man living near Piedmont, Greenville . County, had two children burned to death on Monday, 6th inst. Piner, his wife and 11-year-old daughter went to the field to work, leav? ing two younger children at the house. His cow got out into the road and the older of the two children in the house ran after the cow to get her back. The little child, three years old, in the house, got into the fire and his clothes caught. His screams were heard in the field by the sis? ter, who ran to the house, and iu her efforts to save the child, her olothes caught fire, and when the father got to the house both children were wrapped In flames. The 11-year-old girl lo?t her life In trying to save her brother. The Greenville Nervs, of last Friday, says: "Capt. J. B. Patrick, Principal of the Anderson Military Institute, passed through the city yesterday on his way from Washington. Captain Patrick's visit to Washington was to ask ibe Gov? ernment to detail an army officer for his Institute to instruct the Cadets in military tactics, and his mission was successful. Capt. Patrick's success will be gratifying to his hoste of friends, and will place his Institute in the ranks of the leading mili? tary institutions of the South. There are more pay Cadets in attendance at the In? stitute than at the Citadel Academy. The officer to be sent to the Patrick Military Institute will be a graduate of West Point and a regular army officer. His addition to an already splendid corps of teachers will make the faculty a still stronger one, and direct attention from all sides to an institution that is a credit to the State." Messrs. Lesser & Co. are now exhibiting the largest and prettiest stock of Spring and Summer goods they have ever brought to Anderson. Mr. Lesser spent several weeks iu the Eastern markets, and carefully selected his goods. At the same time he secured many bargains, which he proposes his customers to have the benefit of.

Lesser & Co. will be delighted to have you call, and will take great pleasure in showing you their goods. Mr. O. A. Bowen, of Fendleton, will sell the McCormick Harvesting Machines this summer. He tells us that the McCor? mick Company are obliged to make at the rate of one complete machine every min? ute of the day in order to supply their world-wide demand?the McCormick be? ing almost as well known ou the steppes of Russia, the plains of the Danube and in the winter harvests of the Southern Hem? isphere?Australia, South Africa and South America?as it is here. Mr. Bowen also showed a fac-simile of the Gold Staats Medeille which the McCormick "machine of steel" won at the great Uni? versal Exposition trials held at Vienna last summer. The McCormick Catalogue, which, by the way, he keeps for gratuitous distribution, is a work of art and will re? pay careful reading, while the lithographic poster of the historic battle of the Monitor and Merrimac is the finest thing we have ever' seen published. When taken into consideration the fact that the McCormick Company sold 105,468 machines iu 1800, the popularity of their Harvesters and Mowers and the capacity of their mam? moth works affords an interesting subject for contemplation. Fair Play Items. Death has again visited this section and carried off in its icy embrace the wife of Mr. Isaac Brock. She died 20th of March, leaving a husband and seven little chil? dren to mourn her loss. Mrs. Brock was able to attend to household duties that morning, and was a corpse before 10 o'clock. She was buried the day follow? ing at Beaverdam Church. Mrs. Patsey Isbell, an aged and respected lady, died at her home on Wednesday, the 8th inst., iu her 81th year. Her remains were interred at Beaverdam Church the day following. The farmers are making good use of this pretty weather. Some have got all their upland corn planted. Mr. F. B. Watson commenced planting cotton Monday morning. Mr. Joseph Vandiver com? menced planting cotton last week. We had a mad dog scare last week. The dog is said to have bitten several other dogs and chickens and ducks, &c, and was finally killed on Mr, Joe Vandiver's plantation. Mr. Robt. Rutledge, United States Dep? uty Marshal, has been making things lively over on Tugaloo River for some of the miscreants. ? Miss Hattie Lee will have a vacation in her school after this week. Faik Play. Card of Tlianba. We desire to return our heartfelt thanks to the good people of Anderson for their kindness bestowed during the recent fatal illness of our mother. Such actions brightly n>ilocts the trno inwardness of their Cuffs-Man characters. We assure them that thtir kind attention and words of condolence will not be forgotten nor go unrewarded in the eternal city above. A. U. Sullivan and Wif e. Belton Items. Mr. Jas. D. Campbell left Monday for Nashville. Tbc names of Miss Maud Grnbbs and Master Billie Breazeale were enrolled Mon? day in the Belton High ?chool. Rev. J. T. Smith, principal of the Belton High School, spent Saturday and Sunday at Westminister. He preached twice on Sunday to large congregations. Mr. J. ?.

The proceeds of the evening are to go towards payinc for the piano for the school. A go?d program is promised. * *. Lebanon Items. Everybody in this community seems cheerful, and are as happy as a "June bug." Their wings shine just as bright, and oh, how some of them do "flop" when a little cloud sails up. The farmers have certainly made use of the recent fair weather, and some of them are very near ready for planting. Mr. W. G. Smith, one of our thriftiest and most energetic farmers, has commenced plant? ing. We believe he is ahead this season. Mr. S. W. Smith has the finest wheat of any in this section. It was thought that all the fruit had been killed, but on examining the same we rind it to be false, and if we have no more "right down" cold weather, there will be a large crop to harvest. Last Suoday was a very bright, hunny day, and a largo crowd gathered at Leba? non, as it was regular meeting day, and listened to an excellent sermon. The pastor surprised some on Saturday by telling them that there was no Church at Lebanon, because the people were divided so, bat before he quit them a new Church had been organized, and now we think the Eeople will go along together, hand in and, and quit acting so much like a "block-head." This community is blessed with old men. What could we do without them ? How could we make out without their ad? vice ? Mr. W. T. Smith is one of our old? est citizens, and he deserves much praise and honor, having raised a family of twelve children, and has started them off in life. He has been a model farmer, and of course knows about as much of farming as anybody. He says he never witnessed just such a winter as the one that has just gone out; although a good crop can be made, he says, if we would plant less and prepare the land better. He never did believe in planting more than could be cultivated thoroughly. His motto was: Push the crop, and never let the crop {>ush you. He and his good old wife are iving alone, but we pray that God will continue to bless them in their old age, as He has in the past. The public is cordially invited to attend the "Debating Society" at Lebanon on Friday night of the 17th, as a very inter? esting subject will be discussed, namely: ''Should capital punishment be abolish? ed?" The first speaker on each side are S. W. Smith affirmative, W. B. Quails negative. Please come out. we think you will be interested a little while. Sine Die. Starr Locals. It seems that our position as correspon? dent is one of the most eligible to be found; at least there are a goodly number clamoring loudly for the same. Probably, in the near future we shall abdicate In favor of some more worthy aspirant, but for the present, we will still assert our rights, wnich are based on the oldest claim. "Old Uncle George Stevenson," as he is familiarly called, and one of our oldest citizens, was in town last week. He is still vigorous, sprightly and active. He is not at all despondent about crops ; on the contrary, he is in most excellent spirits on the subject. He is no advocate of the all cotton plan, and is going to raise corn accordingly. This is an example well worthy of imitation. So, farmers, make your preparations to that effect, or we shall be allowed the exquisite pleasure of reminding yon by that expressive little "I told you so," which contains ao much in so little. Mr. C. H. Gassaway loft last Thursday for Southwest Georgia to engage in busi? ness. His stay is to be an indefinite one, and he will be greatly missed in our social circle. The farmers are in decidedly better spirits after having gotten in a week's plowing. "There has already been consid erable planting done, and there will be a great deal more this week, weather permit? ting. The appearance of "Town" is greatly improved by some side-walks, that have been recently constructed on some of the streets. Who is "Starr," the last week's corres? pondent from here? At all events, he has a most remarkable "crush" on balls and dances. We infer, nevertheless, that he could not have been such a ladies-man, as he altogether ignored Miss Ida Bell's visit to "town." She visited her sister about three weeks ago. She is from Abbeville, and is also a teacher. We were all delighted with her, and are looking with pleasure to her coming again in the near future. Mr. Jack Stuart is having a building erected on one of his lots near the depos? it is claimed for the purpose of a tenant house?but rumor doth say (and who ever knew rumor to err ?) that it wifTbe occu? pied by Mr. and Mrs. D.S. Stuart ere many weeks shall have rolled round. Mr. A. F. Shearer, of the Holland's Store neighborhood, was in "town" this morn- ? ing. He is another "popular young bach," and some member of our fair sex would do well to capture him, as he raises his own "hog and hominy." Miss Allie Hardin, from Lowndesville, is slaying at her uncle's, Mr. P. B. Allen, and attending school at Starr. The exhibition is getting on 0. K. The rehearsals take place at night, so that it interferes little or none with school duties. More Anon. Honea Path Items. Mr. W. A. Shirley boarded the train for Columbia last Tuesday morning. He and Miss Alice Lever are to be married in the Methodist Church at that place on Wednesday morning and arrive at Honea Path on the afternoon train. Mr. and Mrs. Shirley will give them a reception on Wednesday* night; only a few guests are invited. All of Mr. J. J. Shirley's sons have married within a year. Dr. Shirley, the youngest son, marrying first; Mr. R. M. Shirley, the second son, marrying next and Mr. W. A. 8hirley, the eldest, marrying last. The bride is well known in H?nea Path, and will be warmly wel? comed by her many friends here. The following will give some idea of the activity of trade in Honea .Path for the last few months: The Alliance store, with a capital of less than four thousand dol? lars, has sold nearly thirty thousand dol? lars cash in seven months, and the other stores have done a large cash business in addition to their time business. Rev. A. C. Stepp preached last Saturday and Sunday at Berea Church, in Greenville County. This Church has been left with? out a paBtor by the death of Dr. Furman. ' A class has been organized in Honea Path to make a special study of the Bible. The class meets once a week to talk over the lesson studied. The teachers in the Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian Sunday Schools will meet each Wednesday night after prayer meeting to study the Sunday School lesson. The many friends of Mrs- R. W. Burts will be sorry to learn that she continues in very feeble health. The Baptists of Honea Path are prepar? ing to have a recess made in the end of the Church for the pulpit; to have the Church painted inside and furnished with new and elegant pews. A strong force is now at work on Holi? day's bridge, and in a few weeks it will be completed and ready for travel. Your scribe returns thanks to Mr. J. W. Ashley for a sack of excellent meal. Mr. Ashley has bought out Cllnkscales' Mills, near Due West, and will see that they are run in first-class order. The Pierian aud Palladian Literary So? cieties of the Honea Path High School, have bought a new book-case, and have ordered 'about one hundred more books for their library. Mr. James L. Brook died at his residence in Honea Path on Saturday, the 11th inst. He was born on the 18th of September, 1825, in the house now owned and occu? pied by James Williams, near Barker's Creek Church, in tbiu County, where he was raised. When a young man he went to Mississippi, where he resided some two or three years. After returning to this State he married Miss Barbary Kirk? patrick on the 15th of July, 1859, who sur? vives him. The fruit of this marriage was fourteen children; twelve?six sons and six daughters?are still living, two having died in infancy. Eleven of them were present to witness his last momenta. He and A. J. Brock, in 1857, established the first store that was ever put up in Honea Path, under the firm name of Brock & Brock. Mr. Brock was one among the first to enter the Confedorato service, and having been taken prisoner, he was held until some time after the surrender. For several years after his return from the war, he was engaged iu tho buggy busi ness and in running a blacksmith, shop and in farming. On tho second Lord's Day of September, 1809, be, along with twenty others, was baptized by Rev. A. C. Stepp and received into the fellowship of the Honea Path Baptist Church, and re? mained a member until death. In a short time after uniting with the Church he was elected Clerk, and sorved In that capuoity for a number of years. Somo two years ago ho was stricken with paralysis, from which he never recovered. A large num? ber of acquaintances, friends and kindred, gave testimony to the high esteem they had for his memory by attending upon the funeral services and mingling their sympathies with the bereaved family. He was buried in Honea Path cemetery on Sunday evening, 12th inst., and here his body awaits the resurrection at' the last day. Pov. A OrtTof Thanks. We desire to return our heartfelt thankB to our friends for their many kindnesses to us during the illness and death of our hus? band and father. Mas. J. L. Brock and Family. Honea Path, S. C, April 14. A Bowl from Bruno. We are down with the blues, On account of the news ; The telegrams are all alarming, The cry for breadBtuffa Is warning enough To change our program in farming. We live and we move, But do we improve ? We scarcely can boast of progression, We are bound to confess, That Instead of progress, ? The rage of the age is transgression. We labor and toil, Mid strife and turmoil, We are forced to subsist on half rations, The garments we wear, Are nearly threadbare, We cannot keep up wi;h the fashions. I think that with me, Nearly all will agree, Theres a screw loose somewhere in the nation, There must be a flaw, Somewhere in the law, That causes financial starvation. Now, I'd like to know, The cause of this woe, I pause for an explanation. , But I'm certain we've got, A most villainous lot, Of swindlers in administration. Shanks. For Hie IntoiUgaicer. TO THE RIVER CHOPTANK. m. j. c, s. Tell me lovely, silent river, What the night winds say to thee ? I can hear their soft, low whispers As thou passeth to the sea. I can hear them moan and tremble, Fluttering like a heart in pain, Do they tell of lands still fairer Than thy sunny banks and plain ? And the stars, when looking sadly, Knowing well the night wind's sigh, Do they ever tell thee, river, Of that other sphere so high ? Where in worldB of silvery splendor, .Shining down on thee to-night, Lovingly dost thou reflect them In their glorious beauty bright. Dost thou, ever sigh, dear river? . Dost thou ever tired grow ? Flowing onward, ever onward, With incessant sweeping flow. Tell me when the moon seema looking Down into thy current's heart, Is there any secret whispered That thou could'st to me impart. Dost thou know how well I love thee, River of immortal blue; On thy banks a child I gamboled, Thou the friend of years so true. All my childish griefs and sorrows' To thy listening waves I told, Thou would'st seem to smile or saddei At the tales that were so old. Now once more I stand beside thee, Childhood's days are far behind, Yet their memories wildly thronging With thy night-song fills my mind. And I fain would tell my secret, But the stars so bright doth shine, They would listen calm and sadly, They must not my soul divine. Listen, river, solemu river, When I bow me down by thee, Keep my Beeret sacred ever, As thou flowest to the sea. Never whisper to the night-winds What my heart doth tell thee now, When the moon-beams glisten brightly Shield it with thy bosom's flow. We have the best Cultivator ever sold In Anderson.

Have you seen, have you priced Sulli? van Hardware Co's. new and tremendous stock of Hardware and Implements, es? pecially their Hoes, Steel Plows, Patent Sweeps, Plow Stocks, Cultivators, Har? rows, Cotton Planters, etc ? Surely you are not going it blind, and getting left by failing to post yourself in this simple way. They know the wants of the trade, and exert themselves to satisfy their custom? ers. As to variety, quality and quantity of their goods too much cannot be said. As to their prices they prefer saying very little, choosing rather to meet you person? ally, look you square in the eye, and drive away every lingering doubt with many perceptible realities. Chapman's Laces and Embroideries are the prettiest in town and thej lowest prices. Look at them and see. Delays are Dangerone. The benefits accruing to poor men from carrying life insurance nave 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 had 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, Boleman, and in this city by G. W. Miller. This is one of the strongest and most reliable companies, be? ing in its 4Gth year of existence and hav? ing 50 millions of assets. It deserves special mention for its prompt settlements, having adjusted Mr. Holcomb's claim within ten days from 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." Look out for the Agents of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, and take a policy without delay. G. W. Millkb, G. N. C. Boleman, Agents.
