A union prayer meeting commeneed in the city Tuesday night, and will continue through the week, alternating at the vari? ous Churches.

Every young man in Anderson should attend these meetings. - - Ons of Anderson County's most clever ?citizens, who was rather fond of his toddy, was ordered by his physician, during a temporary illness, not to axoeed one ounce of spirits dally. The old gentleman was dubious about the amount, and asked his json, a school boy, how much an ounoe -sras. "Sixteen drams," was the reply, sixteen dran?! An excellent doctor," replied the old gentleman. "Run and tell aejghborB? and neighbor J? to come down to-njghi," ! Said an Anderson old bachelor: "Talk about the beautiful flowers, the bright sun and the musical birds. They are all very nice, but can't hold a candlelight to a peachy-cheeked girl of 'sweet sixteen,' smiling under a new white cap and beg? ging a fellow to buy strawberries and ice cream." Mr. J. A. Cox and wife, of the Honea Path section, and Mr. Leard Newton and wife, of the Fendleton section, paid the Intelligencee office a pleasant visit one day last week. Both these gentlemen are energetic farmers and clever ^citizens, and are fortunate in having secured sach charming wives. Governor Tillman has appointed Mr. J. A Welborn, of Hope well Township, a No? tary Public If any of the young people of that section desire the "matrimonial knot"-tied at any time, we advise them to < give friend Welborn a call. We know he will perform the job nicely and charge only a small fee. Mr. J. Carlisle Vandiver, who left this County eight or ten years ago for Florida, ! and afterwards moved to Waco, Texas, re? turned to Anderson last week. Recently he lost his wife, and, with his motherless little children, has come back to reside at I his native home. His many old friends are glad to greet him. Dr. X P. Anderson, of Ninety-8ix, has located in Anderson for the practice of dentistry in partnership with Dr. A. C. Strickland. The Doctor is a graduate of the University of Maryland, having stood second in a class of 160. He is an excel? lent young man, and .we are glad to know he is going to settle in Anderson. We would again urge our citizens to brighten up their premises by using paint and whitewash freely. Anderson will have a large number of visitors this sum? mer, and nothing adds more to the gen? eral appearance of a town or makes a more favorable Impression on strangers than neatly painted or whitewashd houses .and fences. . A meeting of the stockholders of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap & Chicago Railroad will be held in Aikon on Thurs? day of next week. It would be the proper thing for Anderson to send a Committee to Aiken on that day to confer with the Eowers that be, and learn if the road can o brought here under any consideration. The time la short. Action should not be delayed. Memorial Day was qnietly observed in the city last Saturday afternoon by the Supils of Miss*Nora Hubbard's School, 'he children assembled at the school house, and, forming In line, marched to to the Churchyards and decorated the graves of all the Confederate soldiers. A number of the residents of the city ac? companied the pupils and assisted in the decorations. The Columbia State; of Tuesday, says: ?'The Slate has received from Dr. R. F. Di wer, of Anderson, who is as reliable in his politics as in his business, a handsome cast iron paper weight?the product of his foundry?bearing the features of Wade Hampton upon its medallion-like surface. It is a wholesome and solid addition to the equipment of the editorial room." Last Sunday an unfortunate accident happened at Good Hope Church, in Corner Township. Miss Iva Cook and a little brother were leaving the Church in a bog-' ?y, and the mule which they were driving, ecame frightened and ran away. The buggy was overturned inio a ditch and the occupants thrown out. Miss Cook's right arm was terribly bruised and dislocated, and she sustained other injuries. While her injuries are quite painful, they are not serious, and we hope soon to hear of her recovery. Miss Anna T. Simpson, daughter of the late Major R. F. Simpson, died at the resi ? dence of her brother, Col. R. W. Simpson, in Pendleton, S. C, April 2Sth, 1691. She was about forty years of age. She bad been for many years a faithful and con? sistent member of the Methodist Church. Her afflictions, which had been of long standing, grew to be more severe, and six months before her death it was certain that the worst was coming. She was con? scious of her approaching dissolution, but had no fears, and even desired to depart. In referring to the Cumberland Gap Railroad, the Easley Democrat says: "We have always been of the opinion that Anderson was one of the most important points in this State for "Old Tumblin" to I touch, and that Anderson could not well afford to let it pass around her. Now if she is in earnest, which we don't doubt, there will be lively railroad times ahead. Let Easley and Piokens keep their eyes wide open and be ready to take advantage of any new development that might be~of any advantage to them. There is no tell? ing what may happen." The City Sanitary Committee has an im? portant notice in another column, and we advise the residents of the city to read it carefully. The chief of police has been or? dered to begin an inspection of the premi? ses of every resident: of Anderson on Mon? day, 18th inst, and if yon want to save trouble you should put your premises in good condition at onoe. The chief will furnish lime free of cost for disinfecting purposes. He has also been instructed to report those persons who have not com? plied with the hog ordinance. A New York man says he has discov? ered a fly destroyer that discounts all the fly papers and fly poisons that have yet been put Into use.. Last spring he went into the country and brought back with him when he retnrned a number of clover blossoms. He hung them in his rooms to ornament the walls. The clover dried, and since then he says not a fly will stay in the room. He has watched and stud? ied, and says he has discovered that flies cannot stand the scent of dried clover. We hope some reader of the Iktelltgen cek will try this and report the result. The Greenville News says: "We are glad to see that there is a movement in Ander? son for a monument there to the Confeder? ate dead. The Confederacy bad no braver or better soldiers than those who went from our sister County, and none more worthy of honor and remembrnnce. As usual, a woman is taking the lead in the work. May success attend her and may she soon have the pleasure of looking upon a beautiful work completed?a mon? ument which, like all ? the others for the same purpose in the South, will stand to commemorate the valor of Southern men and the devotion of Southern women alike." A meeting of the stockholders of the Anderson Yarn or Knitting Mill was held in the Court House last Thursday, and it was deoided to Increase the capital stock of the Company to $50,000. A committee was appointed to secure additional sub? scriptions, and several thousand dollars has been, subscribed. The committee ex? pect to secure the amount in a short time, and those who desire to make a good in? vestment should subscribe at once. The President and Board of Directors wer? authorized to go ahead and purchase a sits for the mill," and it is proposed to begin the erection of the necessary buildings as soon as possible. Public attention has been specially aroused in the mysteries of interior Alaska by the recent return of the exploring ex? pedition sent out a year ago by Arkell & Harrison, the proprietors of Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper. In this week's issue of the paper a magnificent double-page sketch (the first of a number to be pre? sented) of a startling scene amid the deso? late mountains of interior Alaska is pre? sented. It is well worth framing. Presi? dent Harrison's tour to the Pacific, street scenes in New York, the great protection banquet, amateur photographs, etc., make np a magnificent number.

The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Western Carolina Land and Im? provement Company was held In this city on Friday, 8th inst. The following offi? cers were elected to serve the ensuing year: tPresideofc, P. K. MoCully; Vice President, W. W. Humphreys; Secre? tary, J. D. Maxwell; Directors, Patrick Calhoun, G. A.-Wagener, J. L. Tribble, J. D. Maxwell and O. Geisberg. J. L. Trib? ble was re-elected Attorney, and O. Geis berg Manager. The Directors were au? thorized to let the contract for the build? ing of the hotel and several store rooms at Calhoun Falls. This will be done at once, and in a short time tho embryo city will present a busy scene. The Secretary and Manager are kept quite busy answering letters of inquiry about Calhoun Falls, and it is expected that many persons from distant States will settle there. Several times within the past few months there have come to our view or knowledge the oase of animals badly treated. There is nothing which disgusts a true man* more than to see some poor animal forced to draw a load entirely too heavy for him, and cruelly abused in many ways. Often we have wished that it were in our power to turn the tables' and give the animal the upper hand rather than the brute. Patiently the beasts ;of burden do their work and earn ten fold their sustenance and kind treatment. They do their part, and do it well j their owners should sen that they do theirs equally as well. Thoso who own or drive horses should reoolleot that there is a limit even to their power of pulling and enduring. If they havo not souls they have physical feeling. Be kind to your animals, friends, J The competitive drill of the three Com? panies of Cadets of the Patrick Military Institute took place at the Institute grounds last Friday, and was wit? nessed by a large crowd of spectators. The judges were Capt. John M. Patrick and Lieut. T. F. Gary, of the Institute, Capt. T. F. Hill, of the city, and Capt. W. A. Clarke, of Augusta. The contest was a lively one, and was won by Co. B, with Co. C as second. The prize was a beauti? ful flag, which was presented to Co. B. Hon. Ben. Terrel, Lecturer and Organi? zer of the District Alliances, arrived in Anderson last Tuesday, accompanied by his wife. The purpose of his visit is to organize a District Alliance for the 3rd Congressional District. Delegates are pres? ent from all of the Counties of the District, and the organization was perfected Wed? nesday. To-day (Thursday,) at 11 o'clock, Mr. Terrel will deliver an address in the Opera House on the principles, demands, etc., of the Alliance, and the public is re? spectfully invited to attend. Mr. Terrel visited Anderson two years ago and deliv? ered an address. He is an "loquent and interesting speaker and bo will no doubt have a large audience to hear him to-day. Mr. R. Harling, a private of Co. K, 14th S. C. Regiment, of EdgeQeld, attended the recent survivors' reunion in Augnsta, Ga., and, in speaking of bis trip in a com? munication to the Edgefield Advertiser, eay?: "I met our old commander, Col. J. N. Brown, of Anderson, on the train on the 15th of April. I had not seen him but once before since our bloody struggles together on the battle fields of old Vir? ginia. We talked about a Reunion. Ho is anxious for one; and I found him little broken from the time we last saw him, which you will all be glad to hear, and full of the memories of the old days. He was accompanied by his wife and beauti? ful daughter; and I am proud that I have met them?the Mother and the Daughter of the old 14th 8. C. V. We have a "Daughter of the Regiment;" why cannot we have a Reunion ? The beautiful Daughter of a Georgia regiment goes to all the reunions of the regiment, and she re? cently went with them to New York and made a speech.' May we hope to hear from our Daughter soon.''' Corner Items. The semi-annual examination of the Poplar 8pring School took place last Fri? day. This school house ia situated in the northwestern part of the Corner. The house was neatly and tastefully decorated with flowers and cedars. The exercises did not begin at the appointed hour, there being some delay. The pupils marched into the house, two by two, forming a semi-circle at ono end. After each one had been placed in order they sang a piece entitled "In gathering roses, look out for ! the thorns." When through singing they marched out in the same manner in which they came. The chart class was the first to be examined. It consisted of ten small children who, when they started to Bchool, did not know their letters. They can now read fluently. Reading and spelling olasses were examined consecutively until 11 o'clock, when there was an intermis? sion. After the intermission the geogra? phy and grammar classes were called upon. By standing good examinations all the classes seemed to have diligently pursued their respective studies. All who were present say that they enjoyed the day very much, and were gratified with tho exercises. Tbey were undoubtedly good, and each pupil seems to be improving, which shows that the teacher, Miss Mamie Warren, has been diligent in her work. At 12 o'clock all were cordially invited to a table in the grove filled with all that anyone could desire.' All assembled in the house again at 1 o'clock. The school sang a piece entitled "Tramp." The next thing was a spelling match. It lasted about fifteen minutes, and during that time every spectator stood anxiously watching every movement and listening to every sound each pupil made. One by one each side lost a member until all were gone except Miss Lillie Simpson, who was left standing as the victorious con? testant. The following is the programme of the entertainment. Dialogue?Zoo Watt*, Ida Skolton and Rossie Harris. Speech?Sloan McConnell. Speech?Reid Harris. Dialogue?Misses Addie Choek and Alice Simpson. Speech?Warren Skelton. Speech?Wade Simpson. Dialogue?Misses Dora West and Rosa W. McConnell. Speech?Baxter Cheek. Dialogue?Carrie McConnell, Roxie Simpson, Bessie Cheek, and Sloan McCon? nell. Essay?"Kind Word," by Miss Addie Cheek. Essay?' Education," by Miss Alice Simpson. Essay?"Spring," by Miss Lillie Simp? son. Essay?"Youthful Days," by Miss Dora West. Rev. C. Pressly made an address which was highly enjoyed by all. The school now sang "God be with you until we meet again." The music was furnished by the following persons: Calvin Gully, auto harp; Dick Gully, harmonica; Ben Gul? ly, harmonia; Luther Outz, harmonica; Atticus Wiles, harmonica; Baxter Cheek, harmonica; 8am Gully, triangle. The music was splendid, Miss Mary Simpson, of Toccoa, Ga., has been spending tue past week with rela? tives. Rev. Mr. Myers, who was to assist Mr. Pressley the first Sabbath of May, misun? derstood the appointment and did not come until last week to assist on the sec? ond. Mrs. Warren, of Pendleton, has been spending the past week with her daugh? ter at Mr.R. R. Harris'. What has become of the "Blossom" of the Corner. Has it suddenly and unex? pectedly faded away ? Mr. Calvin Simpson, who is a resident of Toccoa, Ga , came down last week to spend a few days with relatives. Mr. Warren Watt, who was so unfortu? nate as to receive a kick from a mule in January, can scarcely walk unless he has something to support the weight of his body from the injured leg. Mr. Calvin Golly was struck on bis eye by a cinder while working with a piece of iron iu the shop. One of his eyes iB weak, and with the other one injured, he can SCrU"C6ly ?6G. Mr. James Wanslow, of the lower sec? tion of the Corner, was married to Miss Alkanza Sanders, of Savannah Township, on Thursday evening by Rev. R. C. Ligon. There is a boy in the Corner who stop? ped at a neighboring Church, where there seemed to be an attraction for him. After the services were over he started home with that attractive person. The boy saw a buggy which he thought was the property of the girl, and started towards it. He lifted the girl in and began to look for the horse. The girl, of course, thought the buggy belonged to the boy. She was sadly disappointed when he asked where the hors9 was. They had to "foot" it only one mile and a half. Nemo. Cedur flrovo Items. The services at our Church were well attended lost Suuday. Among those present we noticed the genial faces of Messrs. J. K, Owens and Jesse Davenport. These young gentlemen are alwayB wel? come visitors to our section. We are glad to see such an interest manifested in our school at this time. We are going to celebrate Childrens' Day on Saturday, 23rd inst., and Beaverdam, Whitefield and Dorchester schools are invited to meet with us and participate in the exercises. Prof. Reuben Poore will be present and conduct the singing. Rev. A. C. Stepp and others will deliver ad? dresses on the occasion. Of course, every? body is expected to bring well filled din? ner baskets. An infant of Mr. John Cry m es was buried hero last Sunday. The farmers seem to have the blues on account of the dry weather and bad stands of cotton. Mr. Henry Smith and wife visited rela? tives iu this section last Saturday. Mr. Robert Kay was visiting friends near here last Sunday, The small grain crop in this section is very promising. Baldhead. Honea Path Items. Some persons left here this (Tuesday) morning for the Centennial iu Columbia, and others will leave to-morrow morning. Messrs. G. E. Moore and Frank Austeile attended the pic nie at Er win's last Friday. Mr. L. M. Wilson attended Church at Bethel Inst Sunday. The Willing Workers will serve refresh? ments at tho Academy next Saturday night. They should be well patronized, as they are raising funds to pay for work on the Church. Our young people are taking much inter? est in lawn tennis since the stores began closing at six o'clock. Mr. J. R. Donnald will soon be off to Charleston with another oar load of ott tie. Cotton comes up slowly, and many fear that they will not get a stand. Messrs. J. W. Moore and Dennis and Blaok Culbertson spent Saturday and Sun? day in Honea Path. The closing exercises of the Honea Path High School will be on Thursday night, Friday and Friday night, June 4th and 5th, On last Thursday aftern oon Rev. A. C. Stepp met with a very painful accident. He is having some improvements made o n his house, and while walking around where tho bonds were at work he stepped on $ nail. The nail went through his slipper and pierced his foot to the bone; Bince then he baa been suffering severely, but is im? proving now. Rev. M. McGee has gone to the Southern Baptist Convention at Birmingham, Ala. Rev. Davis preached here last Sunday in place of Rev. L. M. Rice. The Baptist and Methodist Sunday schools each expect to have Children's Day services sometime in the near future. What about the cotton seed mill? Now is the time to work it up. We believe that the capital could soon be raised if someone would take hold of it, and push it. Remember, the Teachers' Association will meet heie Friday night, and Saturday. Let the people, old ana young, around Honea Path turn out and give the teachers a hearty welcome. Let's meet together, become acqnainted and have one of those social times which - Honea Path people so much enjoy. The pic nie at Erwin's was well attended and the order was excellent. There was no publio speaking, and the people spent the day in social enjoyment. At night the young people had a lawn party, which they greatly enjoyed. Pop. Fair Play It?ms. Henry Alexander had the misfortune to have his house burned a few days ago. Everything that he possessed was burned. One of his children was burned to death. From what I learned this is about the way the house caught on fire : The mother had left the children and gone to do a day's washing for some one," as she had fre? quently done before, and between 11 and 12 o'clock the oldest child, about three and a half years, set the broom on fire, and with the broom set the house on fire, Then the child tried to get the baby out of the house but failed, and got very badly burned itself?so badly that it's thought it will die. We are needing rain very' badly now to make cotton come up. Miss Carrie Bo wen has boen. visiting friends at this place. Mrs. Martha E. Watson has been visit ing relatives and friends at this place. . Mr. Asbury. Edwards had the misfor tune to lose a very fine milch cow last week.

Messrs Editors : The most disgust? ing and contemptible thing known to the social and commercial world is the wo? man who has such a chronic case of ennui that she is neyer able to leave her luxuri? ous carriage while shopping. She is never haughty and commanding?this modern specimen of a shopper?oh no! It is she who is so amiable, so affable, so bland, (blarneying would be a better word) so "sorry to impose on your kind? ness," and "you are so sweet not to mind!" We sometimes wonder if such conduct arises from a shaky mental foundation, pure hardness of heart, or physical inabil? ity. We have a peculiar case before us now. She is foremost in all publio chari? ties, has a class in the Sunday school, teaches the principles of "do unto others," etc; and yet this woman is the terror of every clerk in town, because her appear? ance is the signal for moving half the goods in the store out on the street, re? gardless of weather, true politeness and the Golden Rule. And if sue is ever al? lowed to enter the "pearly gates" on that great day. she will, in all probability, ex? pect St. Peter to leave his post or door? keeper and escort her in; that is if she is not "feeling too badly to come in to-day."

Editors Intelligencer: In behalf of the Le? banon Baptist Church and Pastor I deem it necessary to come before the public in vindication of the false statements and gross misrepresentations that seem to be quite generally believed by those who know nothing about it. Now to the facts, which I would be far from bringing before the public gaze but for the circumstances: Our Church is badly divided up, (as was referred to by "A member at Lebanon" and "Sine Die,") and it became necessary that we refer to our rules of decorum, arti? cles of faith and covenant, when, to the surprise of many, we found that we had none. No one for an instant believed that we never had any, but they had been mis? placed, and could not be found. So you see we could do nothing without them, as everybody bad a right to say that he was right. Some of them believed in ?'second blessing," some in doing just as they pleas? ed?get drunk, or anything else they wish? ed, with impunity. And then we bave a class that believe they have a right to stay at home, and have nothing to do with the Church but to grumble at and say things that never happened about the Church. I do not know whether "A member at Le? banon" belongs to this last class or not, but judging from his knowledge of what was done and said, we are thus inclined to believe. The Moderator did not say that we were not a Church. He said that he could say so, and challenged us to prove it. He simply meant that we had no cre? dentials, which the Church accepted as true. Now, then, with these facts glaring us in the face, what were we to do ? We needed the documents and could not find them, and were satisfied they were lost. We thought the easiest and shortest way would be to get a copy of one of our sister Churches that was known to be orthodox, and have them read before the Church, (after a month's notice,) either for adop? tion or rejection. There was at first a little squirming by some for fear they could not sign, but that soon gave way, and they were unanimously accepted, no oneiaising his voice in the tone (or even thought of it) of "A member at Lebanon." No, wo claim to be the same organized body as be? fore. We meant simply to replace that which was lost that we, as Baptists, believe is needful to have in an organized body like ours. Now, if "A member at Le? banon" knew of a better way to get out of the trouble than the one we pursued, why did he not bring it before the Church (in proper shape) and have it acted upon ? Everybody that knows anything about the Church's work knew that that question was going to come up that day. Then, he sides, they were unanimously adopted, and gave their hand to the Pastor in token of their satisfaction of "the remarkable proceedings." Come, Brother, from a standpoint of facts and show us our error. We bad no articles of faith, nor Church covenants nothing but some rules of discipline ; and if there is anything wrong in replacing that which was lost we cannot see it, and we did it the best way we k new how. We do not claim to be perfect or infallible. The referenoe of the Pastor to our being no Church was to our not having papers by whioh we could prove ourselves to bo a Church. Simply that, and nothing more. If the Brother is not satisfied let him come in the spirit of meekness and lay his claim before the Church, and I venture to say that all will be right. Yery respectfully, T. T. WAKEFWD' [For the Intelligencer.] ONLV FLOTVEK3 t Dedicated tu the Ladiet of tin "Anderson Manorial Association." Only flowera ! 0 my sisters, Let us tell the story o'er, From the rippling mountain rivers To tho wave-song on the shore. Let us cast our memories backward, Past the tombstones of the years, To those days of weary marches, Battlefields, and woman's tears. To the days when Southern banners Proudly waved o'er fort and town To the end when Southern soldiers, Slowly pulled thoso colors down. England has her grand old Abbey, Filled with tombs and storied urns ; France has Pere le Chaise, and Scotland Bears a shaft to Robert Burns. Thon let Carolina's daughters Pluck the rosebuds if they will, Weave them into fragrant garlands, Deck the graves from shore to hill. But above the roses' blushes Build a column that shall tell Why the Southern soldiers rallied, Why they fought and how they fell. And that snowy marble gleaming, Underneath the Southern sun, Lo! 'twill tell of deeds of valor, Tell of battles lost and won. Carve the noble flag upon it, That once waved o'er fort and town, Carve the names of those who bore it, And who slowly pulled it down. KlL COURTLAND. Anderson, S. C> . Cane Creek, Ala., May 5,1891. Messrs Editors: Thinking that my old South Carolina friends would like to hear how we are getting along in this sec? tion of the Sunny South, I send you a few items for publication in your valuable paper. The wet weather in the early spring made the preparation of our land and planting later than usual. However, nearly all the farmers are done planting, except low bottom land. The oat crop la needing rain badly. The late cold snap killed all the plums and very near all of the peaches, and we will be obliged to de? pend on apples and blackberries for fruit this year. The health of this country is very good at this time, though we had a full supply of measles and la grippe dur? ing the winter and early spring. We are confidently expecting the building of a railroad through this neighborhood. It will run from Anniston via Asheville to Sheffield. If it is bnilt it will help tho farmers along the route a great deal. All the publio works in this part of the Coun? ty are carried on by the Morris Manufac? turing Company. At Morrisville they have a foundry and machine shop, and manufacture a great deal of machinery, but the most noted of their products is the Morris Turbine Water Wheel. It has eclipsed everything of the kind that has even been made, imported or in any way obtained in this country. It is made en? tirely of iron, and if properly used will last a life time. Our Circuit Court is now in session for a term of four weeks, bnt the indications are that it will get through with all the cases in three weeks, if not sooner. Crime seems to be on the de? crease, and I hope it may continue so. May the blessings of peace, plenty and happiness attend and remain with all my old South Carolina friends and acquaint? ances through life, is the desire of R. C. Haynie. Obituary. Mrs. Francis Kolley Hogan was born on June 10,1843. She was married to M. T. Hogan on August 31, 1865, and died on Sunday, May 9,1891. She leaves behind a husband, one daughter and two sons, be? sides a host of friends who have the con? solation of knowing that she is now with Jesus. She was a devoted member of Mountain Springs Baptist Church, and was equalled by few in goodness. It was the pleasure of the writer to live near Mrs. Hogan for a long time, and found in her a sympathizer in sickness, and ever ready to help relieve the suffering and adminis? ter to their wants as far as she was able. [ don't know of any one that will be more missed in this community than she. She leaves a mother and several sisters and brothers, Mr. J. D. Kelly, of Greenville, being one. She told her dear daughter fust a few days before she died to get things ready, as she had a better home than this. I know it Is hard to give up a fond, devoted mother. If we live right ind serve God, we shall meet her again, and see her standing on the other Bide of the river beckoning to us to come as we are crossing. H. M. Prince. Piedmont, Anderson County, S. C. Little Meta Edwards, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Edwards, died in Edgefield May the 9th, 1891. Only the lay previous the fond parents had arrived ?t the father's old home with their first born, that relatives and friends might see their "precious babe." Ia a few short hours the delicate little bud was transfered bo unfold in the genial climes of Heaven. The little "sunbeam" that brightened her grandma's home ia waiting for the loved ones at the pearly gates. May her transition cause the stricken family to look forward to the happy reunion, where there will be no pain or sorrow. The People's Advocate and the Baptist Courier please copy. C. A. W.

The benefits accruing to poor men from carrying life insurance have 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 wore 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 46th year of existence and hav? ing 50 millions of assets. It deserves special mention for its prompt settlements, having adjusted Mr. Holcomb's olaim within ten dayB from tho time proof was made.
