By some mean* they had succeeded in taking np s part of the floor of their cell, - near where the pipe for heating the build? ing is laid. Another prisoner told the Sheriff what was going on, and in a short time he had them chained to the floor. They will not likely make another attempt to esaape soon. The Bickens Sentinel, of last week, says: "Mrs. Hester Richardson, of Liberty Township, who has been visiting her sons and brothers in Texas for thn past six months, returned home last Saturday in good health. Aunt Hester says there is nothing wrong with Texas' but doctor bills and boll worms.

Stack house and Rev. J. A. Clifton, of Greenville, and Col. J. G. Clinkscales, of Columbia, have accepted invitations to be present and deliver ad* dresses on the occasion. The exercises throughout will be very interesting, and will no doubt attract a large crowd of spectators. The newspaper man, strange as it may seem, is busiest, and has to work harder in the long dull, hot summer days, when everybody else is traveling for pleasure, or idling at.home, for if other people are not making news for him, he has to make it himself. The duller people are, the hot? ter it is and the fewer the amusements they have, the more they expect from the newspaper, and if that gets dull too, then life seems hardly worth living. Fred Devello, a convict, escaped from Fort Hill last Thursday morning, and that evening was captured in this city by the police. He says the convicts are badly treated at the Clomson College, and begged not to be sent back there, as he would be severely whipped.

Harris, proprietor of the Har? ris Litbia Springs, Waterloo, S. C, has been spending a few days in the city, in? troducing the water from his Springs, and in another column appears the analysis and several testimonials in reference to the curative powers of the water. The Springs are a popular resort for health-seekers, and persons afflicted with malarious and kidney diseases, rheumatism, dropsy, etc., should give the water a trial. It is sold in Anderson by Simpson & Son. Mr. John Lusk died at his home in Honea Path Township on Thursday, 4th inst, and his remains were buried at Broadmoutn Church on the day following, Rev. R. W. Burts conducting the funeral services. Mr. Lusk was about 8G years of age. He was a native of North Carolina, but has been a resident of Anderson County for more than fifty years. He lived a very quiet, secluded life, and was highly esteemed by his friends and ac? quaintances. He leaves two sons to mourn his death. Children's Day was observed in the Presbyterian Church last Sunday morn? ing, and a large congregation was present to take part in the exercises, which had been arranged especially in the interest of foreign missions. The program, which consisted of questions and responses, in? terspersed with appropriate songs, was exceedingly interesting and instructive. Hon. G. F. Tolly delivered a brief and in? teresting addresB, at the conclusion of which.a collection was taken for foreign missions. Tuesday morning we had a pleasant call from onr young friend, V. L. Masters, who has just returned home from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is ac? companied by his friend, Mr. E- D. Rich? ardson, of Iowa, another student of the Seminary, who will spend a few weeks with Mr. Masters at his home in this County-. These young gentlemen will not be idle during their vacation. Mr. Masters will work in the Aiken Association and Mr. Richardson in the Edgefield Associa? tion, and in the fall will return to the Seminary. "The American School Board Journal," one of the leading edncational journals of our country, speaks as follows of our School Commissioner: "Columbus Ward law is the School Commissioner of An? derson Co., S. C. He is a thinker and a scholar who entertains some ideas on edu? cational matters. He leads to the position be holds not only good executive ability, but the force of an extended experience in school matters." This is a well-merited compliment to Mr. Wardlaw, who is cer? tainly doing his duty in a faithful and zealous manner. Since last Friday night the weather has been in a very unsettled condition. From every section of the County comes the report that there has been a big rain-fall, and in some sections the land has been terribly washed and the crops badly dam? aged. Hail fell, too, in many sections, and much damage resulted therefrom. In the city on Saturday night we had the most vivid display of lightning, accom? panied by the loudest roll of thunder, ever witnessed by our people. On Monday the wind changed to the east, and since then it has been cold and disagreeable. The closing exercises of Lebanon School will take place on Friday, 19th inst., com? mencing at 10 o'clock a. m. An address will be delivered by Rev. D. Westou Hiott, of Williamston. Commissioner Wardlaw and Rev. W. B. Hawkins have special invitations to be present, and the community and friends are generally in? vited to honor the occasion with their presence. The Principal, Prof. J. M. Hamlin, is closing a very successful ses? sion of the school, and is doing a good work in that neighborhood. Those who attend this occasion may expect an inter? esting program. Mr. J. N. Willingham, of Broadaway Township, brought us on Saturday a sam? ple of his ootton crop, which is the finest we have seen this year. The stalk shown us is about twelve inches high and has six squares. The crops in his section are splendid, especially corn, and the farmers are about up with their work. Mr. Wil? lingham is working up his land so as to make two bales of cotton to the acre, which he will accomplish in the future, as he has it up to an average of one bale now. He has sold corn and bacon every year since he began farming. This looks like business, and Mr. Willingham is evidently on the right track. Mrs. Vina Gambrell. wife of Mr. J. J. Gambrell, died in Williamston last Satur? day morning, at the age of 73 years. She was ill several weeks with pneumonia, which caused her death. Mrs. Gambrell was twice married, her first husband being Tolaver Scott, who died years ago. Many of our older citizens will remember her. For a long time she resided in Anderson, and for years prior to and since the war her familiar face could be seen behind her cake stand on the Court House Square every public day and during the sessions of Court. She was a faithful member of the Presbyterian Church and noted for her kindness and hospitality. Mr. W. A. McAlister, of Florida, in re? newing his subscription to the Intelli? gencer for another year, writes us as fol? lows : "I am a native of Anderson County, having lived in the Storeville section the greater portion of my life. I came to Florida about five years ago, and am doing well in my adopted home. I am proud of my native County and County Bite?An? derson, and am glad to read of the success and prosperity of the city. Your paper is one of the best weeklies in the South; clean, - bright and enterprising, and your editorials are able and fearless. May suc? cess attend the Intelligencer." We thank our friend for his compliment, and know that his friends in this County will be glad to bear of his success in the "Land of Flowers." Mr. W. Lewis Green died at his homo near Craytonville last Friday, and his re? mains were interred in the Barkers' Creek Churchyard on Saturday afternoon, Rev. D. Weston Hiott conducting the funeral services in the presence of a large orowd of friends and relatives. He was about 40 years of age, and was ill only a few days with pneumonia and liver disease. Mr. Green was born and reared on the planta? tion where he died. About two months ago death entered his home and took away his devoted wife, and his death com? ing so soon after makes it very sad to the loved ones left behind. Six little children, the youngest only a little more than two years of age, haye been left to be cared for by relatives, and all of them have been provided with good homes. Mr. Green possessed a genial disposition and had drawn around him a large number of friends. Death is sad under any and all circum? stances, but when it comes and lays its iey grip upon husband and wife within a few hours of each other, it is distressingly sad. For the past two weeks Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Watt, who reside at Deans, have beon quite Bick, having been attacked with a severe form of dysentery. Last week the attending physicians pronounced the disease fatal, and every day the death of both sufferers was expected. Last Mon? day morning Mrs. Watt quietly breathed her last, and on Tuesday evening, just after she had been laid away in the tomb, Mr. Watt was summoned, too, to his long home. Mr. Watt was about 52 years of age and his good wife about 40. Both were born and reared in this Couuty, and have a wide circle of friends who will long cherish their memory. They were exem? plary Christians, and have gone to reap the rewards of well spent lives. They leave only one child, a bright and interesting little daughter. Death has entered another happy home in Anderson County and borne away a good citizen in the person of Mr. Jas. L. Crenshaw, who died at his home in Gar vin Township last Saturday afternoon. He was a remarkably hale and hearty man, but a few days ago was stricken down with a Bovere attack of dysentery, and, despite all that loved ones could do for him, gradually grew worse until death came to his relief. Mr. Crenshaw was a native of Pickens County, but had long been a citizen of Anderson County. He was a most excellent man, and in every relation of life discharged his duties well. In early life he joined the Baptist Church, and was ever afterwards a zealous and faithful member. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn bis death, and iu their bereavement they have many sympathizers. On Sunday his remains were laid to rest in the Sharon Church? yard, Rev. Mr. Weldon conducting the funeral services. The Milledgeville (Ga.) Chronicle of last Saturday, under the caption, "W. L. Jackson, Esq.," says: "It is with regret that we part with the above named gen? tleman. He has beeu in the active prac? tice of law at this place for the past five year.*, and was taking a front position at our bar, but on account of a general fail? ure in his health, complicated with a throat trouble, his physicians advised him to retire from the practice. We are glad to say that he ia in or on the road to a complete and permanent recovery. "While he has been a successful practitioner at tbe bar, he received a good business edu? cation and will succeed at any kind of business he may turn his attention to. We commend him heartily to the good people of Anderson, S. C, or anyplace that he may decide to locate, as an honest, moral and upright citizen, and one who will make a valuable citizen to any com? munity. We learn that he contemplates going into the Brokerage business in bis new home. The Chronicle joins his hosts of friends in wishing him an abundant success, and we see no reason, if energy, pluck Bnd enterprise will make it possible, why it R.'miild not be so. Mr. Jackson leaves fur Anderson Monday morning." Tim Doctors ia Session. The State Medical Association met in tbe Masonic Hall on Tuesday at 12 o'clock, with about 50 members present. President T. P. Bailey, of Georgetown, was in the chair and Dr. W. P. Porcber acted as Sec? retary. Vice-President P. A. Wilhite, and Dr, John Ashhurst, of the University of Pennsylvania, occupied chairs upon the rostrum. Maj. E. B. Murray delivered tbe address of welcome, which was happily responded to by President Bailey. Applications for membership were then received, and 25 or 30 names were present? ed and acted upon. The roll was made out and called. . The house then was ready lor the hear? ing of papers. The first was an essay by President Bailey on the environments and habits of life in relation to disease. Dr. C. W. Kollock, of Charleston, read a paper on ophthalmology. Dr. R. A. Kinlocb, of Charleston, dis? cussed the subject of drainage in eurethrot omy. Acute infectious haemoglobiuaemia was tbe text on which Dr. T. Grange Simons, of Charleston, based his essay. Dr. C. W. Kollock discussed the subject, "Shall South Carolina retrograde in Medi? cine ?" The present system of County ex? aminers of young men, who have received diplomas in medicine, gave rise to this question, and was severely censured. The Doctors will try to persuade the legis? lature to make some change. This closed the meeting on Tuesday. The papers read were highly entertaining and elicited gen? eral discussion. Ea.cn train on Tuesday brought in some Doctors, until something like 100 were here on Wednesday morning Tbe address of Mr. Ashhurst, of Penn? sylvania, will be delivered at 12 m. to-day, (Wednesday,) and is eagerly anticipated. Prof. Ashhurst is tbe orator of tbe occa? sion. A banquet will be giveu tbe Association at the Hotel Cbiquola this (Wednesday) evening. The hours of meeting are from 10 to 2, and from 4i to 8. Clo?lns Exercises of the Honea rath School. Tho people of Honea Path and sur? rounding country always look forward to the Commencement exercises of the Honea Path High School with the bright? est anticipations, and they are never dis? appointed. After a very prosperous ses? sion, the School closed last week with its usual services, and, as usual, attracted a large crowd ot visitors, every one of whom enjoyed the occasion to its fullest extent The exercises began on Thuisday evening, but owing to the pressure of business we did not reach the village until Friday morning. We spent the day and night there, and witnessed tbe remainder of the exercises. On Thursday evening tbe Palladian Literary Society, which is composed of the young ladies of the School, celebrated its first anniversary. Miss Jennie Shirley, President ot the Society, presided with ease and grace. The following was the program for the evening: Salutatory?Miss Rosa Eskew, Grove, 8. C. Chorus?Evening Bells.

The exercises began promptly at 10 o'clock, and the program consisted of speeches and recitations, interspersed with sweet music, by the pupils of both sexes of the primary department. At the con? clusion of the exercises School Commis? sioner Wardlaw delivered a very interest? ing address, his subject being "Sticka bility." He urged the boys and girls to choose some honorable avocation, and to stick to it through life. It was very ap? propriate to the occasion. A recess was then taken for dinner. In the afternoon the annual address be? fore tbe Pierian and Palladian Literary Societies was delivered by Eev. J. A. Clif? ton, of Greenville, his subject being "the dignity of man," which he handled in an able and interesting manner. Then came the delivery of prizes, as follows: Schol? arship?for the highest average in school during the year, Miss Bessie Thomas; gold medal?for the next highest average, little Katie Hudgens; for the greatest number of headmarks during the year, 1 Master John Moore; for the most im? provement in writing in the primary de? partment, and for tbe best written exer? cises in school during the year, Miss Eula Donald. Friday evening at 8J o'clock the second anniversary of the Pierian Literary So? ciety was celebrated, Our young friend, Clarence J. Brock, President of the Soci? ety, welcomed the audience in a few re? marks, and introduced the original orator, Mr. L. P. Brock, whose speech was fol? lowed by declamations from Messrs. J. G. Payne and Jerry McKenzie. The debate was next In order, and the subject, "Re? solved, that foreign immigration is bene? ficial to the United StateB," was ably dis? cussed by Messrs. W. B. Ezell and M. A. McGee in the affirmative and Messrs. W, H. Pepper and W. C. Sharp in tbe nega? tive. The deciding committee decided in favor of the negative. The exercises were interspersed with some fine music. This closed an interesting occasion. Prof. Watkins, the popular Principal, was untiring in his efforts to make tbe occasion interesting to his patrons and in? structive to his pupils, and well did he succeed. Everything passed off without a hitch, and many compliments were paid tbe Principal and bis pupils- Honea Path has one of the best .. 'igh Schools in the Stale, and her people have a right to be proud of it. Midway Items. Some of the farmers are cutting their small grain. There was an interesting prayer meeting at the Misses Burton's last Sunday. Messrs. Brown and Cummings, with several others, made interesting talks. A similar meeting will be held next Sunday at the home of Mr. John Maddox. All are invi? ted to attend. We regret to chronicle the death of Mrs. Julia Gentry, wife of Mr. Lewis Gentry. Last January she had a partial stroke of paralysis, and on last Monday she was | again stricken and died in a few minutes. She leaves a husband and three children to mourn her death. She was a consistent member of the Baptist Church, and great? ly esteemed by her friends and neighbors. The remains were buried on Tuesday at Midway Church. We tender our sympathies to be bereaved family. Mr. Barr Bailey has thirty or forty stands of bees, and is now getting some of the finest honey we have ever seen. He knows oxactly how to attend to bees. I An Interesting Occasion. [ It is not often that a larger audience is assembled together in Anderson than that which filled tho Opera House last Friday evening to witness the closing exercises of Miss L. C. Hubbard'9 Home School. There was scarcely standing room on either floor, and many persons who de? sired to enter were turned away for want of room: Everybody seemed to be in their happiest mood, and the bright, merry faces of the boys and girls who were to participate in the exercises showed that there was no lack of interest in the occa? sion. The program was a lengthy one, but every part was carried out to perfec? tion, showing that the pupils had under? gone a thorough training and reflecting great credit on their most excellent teacher.

Gonzales, the genial represen? tative of the Slate, was in the city, and by request appeared on the stage during the evening in the character of an old, low country negro. His delineation of the ne? gro character was perfect, and brought forth rounds of applause. Miss Hubbard deserves the congratula? tions she has received on the success of | the entertainment. In giving the proceeds of the entertainment, which amounted to about $125, to the Confederate monument fund, she begins a most noble work, which we hope will not stop here but go on until the monument is an assured fact. During the evening a letter was read from Col. J. A. Hoyt, of Greenville, in which he expressed much interest in the erection of a monument to our sleeping heroes, and urging our people to push it to completion. Miss Hubbard had also received an anonymous letter a few days preceding from Virginia, which was also read. The following is a copy of the letter: Miss Lexoba C. HunnABD, Anderson, S. C.: Enclosed find ouo dollar, for which please fur? nish tickets of admission to the entertainment to be given next Friday evening to somo of tho de? serving poor children who might be unablo to at? tend for want of means. If none such are found then place tho amount in tho monument fund as a free-will offering from one who was born and reared in the grand old "Palmetto State." I re? member as if It were but yesterday being in An? derson wben one of the first (if not the first) of her gallant sons who fell in battlo was brought home and laid to rest In the cemetery just West of the city, (it was the Presbyterian church-yard, I think,} and tho soldier's name was Mauldin, (I don't remembor the given name.) Ho was buried with military honors by a detachment of Orrs Rifles, commanded by Capt. Thomas M. White. I was a mere boy then, but that scene made a lasting impression on my mind. I served three years and five months in the Confederate Army, and my blood has stained four battle-fields In Virginia and one in Georgia, and though fate has decreed that I live far away from tho place of my birth, yet I love my native State; and when I learned that you had suggested the idea of erecting a monument to the memory of her fallen heroes, I determined to contribute my mite toward the patriotic under? taking, and hope you will accept it in tho same spirit it is tendered. I trust that you may suc? ceed, and that the monument may soon bo erected, and when finished that the passers-by may not only point to it as a monument to our dead, but also to your noble and patriotic heart. There is one South Carolina soldier burled here, and on last Saturday his grave was covered with fiowers by Jenkins Camp Confederate Veterans. May your useful life be long and happy, and when it is finished your deeds live in the hearts of your countrymen. A Poos but Patriotic E.x-S. Carolinian, F. S.?The enclosed lines from the pen of tho immortal O'Hara might be an appropriate part of your entertainment,If you receive it in time, for one of your pupils to commit it to memory ana re? cite. I hope your house may be as fall on Friday evening as tho hearts of tho ex-soldiers will bo when they think of your work. Lebanon Items. After several weeks of absence, your humble servant will try to pack up the scraps around Lebanon, and send them off to the readers of the Intelligences, who, no doubt, will enjoy reading them very much, as this is such a place of "magnetism." The weather has been very favorable for. the most of the farmers, while others re? joice to see a good season to make the ground too wet to work. You know how It is. Mr. M. B. Jackson and wife, of Ander? son, have been visiting their sick parents near here. We had the pleasure of meeting one of our "jim-swinger boys" not long since. He looks much better than he used to, re? sembling a "half-giown-clty-dude." Dr. J. G. Duckworth came very near meeting with a serious accident the other day. While on his way home from one of his patients, his horse, a young and spir? ited animal, became unruly. The horse began kioking, and before the Doctor could get out of the sulky he had been kicked on his knee, which came near breaking it, aud which has caused him much pain. Somehow or other his face and shoulders came in contact with the wheels of the sulky, and received some severe bruiBes. We trust the Doctor will be straight again soon. Fruit is plentiful in this section, and some of the earliest kinds are "in." Come up, Mr. Editor, and we will take a stroll down to the plum-orchard where, no doubt, you will find more pleasure in ten minutes than you ever did before in a day. There will he a pic nie at Lebanon on the 19th of this month, given by the school. There will be a number of inter? esting exercises given, including exami? nation of the students, dialogues, recita? tions, and best of all, an address by Rev. D. W. Hiotfc. All the readers of the In? telligences are cordially invited to at? tend, and those who are not readers of this valuable paper are also invited. Everybody bring a basket packed full of good things, if you want to make the pic nie enjoyable. Some may say "I'll have to work on that day, if it is a day fit," but let me tell you if you fail to come out you will fail to do your duty, and you will be sorry for it a long time, and besides it will help you to work better the next week. If you don't believe it, just try it. Mr. Thos. Dickson, of this community, is perhaps one of the oldest citizens in Anderson County, if not the oldest. He is now in his 93rd year, and is able to work a little while at a time. He lived way back in slavery times, and owned a large number of slaves. He has been one of the most successful farmers who ever lived in this County. But for his "ever? lasting" constitution he would have left us long ago. Everybody was afraid to live with him, as he was a man of "push forward" habits?a little more than they thought they could "stand up" to. Oh, for a country of such men as he has been ! Some of the farmers are busy harvesting their small grain, and we must say there are a few who have excellent crops. After the grain is gathered the farmers will have an enemy to contend with that has beeu in existence ever since creation Gen. Green. Every chap strong enough to run a hundred yards without stopping will have to arm themselves with hoes, plowstocks, plows and sweeps, and march out against the General and "come down to it" like killing snakes in "no-mans land," and then, perhaps, there will be some "found wanting," judging by the start the General has on them. But after awhile you will hear the cry: Laid by! laid by! from Sine Die. The Inestimable value of Ayer's Sarsa parilla as a blood-purifier should be known to every wife and mother. It cor? rects irregularities, gives tone and strength to the vital organs, and cleanses the sys? tem of all impurities, The best family medicine. "What Must he Done ? Messrs Editohs : I noticed in your pa? per, not long since, an article on the sub? ject of shopping, and would like to sug? gest that our brother exorcise his literary proclivities on a still more important ele? ment under the same head?i. e., shopping after half-past six?the regular hour for closing during this season, Why will some ladies persist in driving up to the stores exactly at, or even after, this late hour? If their courteous intincls or habits of true politeness were brought into question they would be mortally offended, and yet, when they infringe upon the short one hour and a half which is legally the clerk's own, what else can it be termed but alack of these principles? Perhaps some heartless, ease-loving wo? man will say "but it is so very warm to come out any earlier." Ah, my fair friend, if you find it so at five o'clock, what must it be to a weary clerk who has been confined for ten or twelve hours in a close, stuffy store-room, and whose only rest and recreation from one year's end to another, is this little re? spite granted him during tho long, hot summer months? A Sympathizer. Big Greek Items. We had an eloquent sermon last Sunday at Big Creek by the pastor, Bev. R. W. Barts, and he most beautifully and im? pressively explained the words of his text, which was the first part of the 6th chapter of Hebrews. Miss Fannie Poore is suffering from neu? ralgia. Miss Eliza Rogers is visiting her brother, James F. Rogers, near Williamston. Mr. Calhoun Rollison has the '-brag" cotton of the neighborhood. ' Major Dean is still in feeble health. A certain bachelor of our section con? templates writing for the Intelligencer at some future day, and will assume the name of "Bumpus." He admires the writings of Bill Arp, and we think he in? tends imitating them in every way possible. Messrs. John Cannon and John Dean are at home this session. The ladies of the neighborhood are ma? king an effort to improve the inside ap Searance of Big Creek Church at an early ay. Willie, a little son of Mr. M, P. Smith, went fishing not long ago, and caught a trout that weighed three and a half pounds. The programme of the Big Creek Work? ing Society was very successfully managed on last Sunday, having raised the amount of fifteen dollars for the benefit of the Church If you want to hear a fish tale ask A. J. Poore to tell it. It's a "huge" one. Mrs. Andrew Norris, of Texas, will visit her relatives near here soon. Crops are looking well and the prospects are flattering at present. The gardens of this section are looking fine. It is with the deepest regret that we chronicle the death of Mrs. Burts, who died near Broadmouth on the 30th ult. Now and then we are called upon to sepa? rate from one whom we love. We had known Mrs. Burts for a number of years, and loved her almost as a mother. She was known as a devout Christian lady, a loving mother and a devoted wife; and now to the bereaved husband and children who so deeply feel their loss we extend our heartfelt sympathy, and may God in His infinite mercy shield and comfort them, that they,' too, may like her walk in all the ways of righteousness, and at last die triumphant in the Lord. V. Andersonvllle Items. We come again, Mr. Editor, asking ad? mittance in the columns of your valuable paper. "We hope we will not weary the patience of the many readers; perhaps our dots will be news to some one. The farmers are, as a general thing, well up with their work, "Gen. Green" has about given up the ghost in most places. Some few are not through thinning cotton yet. Harvesting is the order of the day in this section, and ere long the hum of the thresher will be heard in the land. All who we have heard express themselves say they are well pleased with the prospect of a very fair yield in their wheat orop. We must not forget our lady farmer of lost year. We can vouch for her having the finest oats in this section. Mr. Harvey Estes, of Walker County, Alabama, visited relatives and friends in this vicinity last week. Miss Saddie McAdams, who has been attending school at Antreville, in Abbe? ville County, has returned home to spend her vacation. Mr, Sam McAdams is suffering, very very much with a carbuncle on bis wrist, but at last accounts was improving. He has gene on a visit to his brother in Abbeville County for a change. We suppose a suggestion is in order, and will move that the Andersonvllle and the neighboring Sunday Schools of this section celebrate the 4th of July by having a pic nie. Do we hear a second to that motion ? Rev. F. M. Estes, the pastor of our Church, will fill his appointment next Sunday and the Saturday before. A small party pic niced at this place la?t Thursday. Ask one oi the boys how he enjoyed his "ducking." Mr. J. N. Smith has the Andersonvllle mill iu good fix, and is preparing to give his old patrons satisfaction. W. ? Mr. Ed. Rice, son of Col. J. H. Rice, of Ninety Six, while attempting to show his gallantary by jumping from a high position to assist a lady, broke his leg at the ankle. Merit Wins.

A box of Ayor's Pills has saved many a fit of sickness. When a remedy does not happen to be within reach, people are lia? ble to neglect slight ailments and, of course, if serious illness follows they have to suffer the consequences. "A stitch in time saves nine." Delays are Dangerous. 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. Mr. Holcomb was insured in the Mutual Benefit, of Ne? wark, N. J., which is represented in the Fork by G. N. C. Boleman, and in this city by G. W. Miller. ThiB 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. Milleb, G. N. C. Boleman, Agents.
