He was born and reared here, and this is his I first visit to his native home in about j eighteen years. He has a host of old friends here, all of whom are delighted to 1 greet him once more. The Intelligences crew is indebted to Mr. W. M. Hall for a basket of fine peach? es, some of which measured six inches in circumference. They were the largest and most delioiouspeaches we have eaten this season. Mr. Hall, who is one of our best farmers, takes a great deal of interest in the cultivation of fruits, and owns a very desirable farm. Accept oar best thanks, Mr; Hall, for your nice treat.

Information has been received here from PickenB County that the negro who recently committed the rape on Mrs. Rowland, a respectable white woman of the County, who is a helpless cripple, has been caught and quietly put out of the way. The men who were with the pursu? ing party refuse to talk, but say the negro "will not bother anybody again." His body is supposed to be in the Keowee River. It ruins farm tools about as quick to be left exposed to the hot sun of mid-summer as to be left out in rain and snow. Heat dries and shrinks the wood work, so that tools and machines become shaky, and it makes openings for the moisture to get in and complete the work of destruction. If you must leave the tools out, at least keep them well painted. The paint fills the pores, and to some extent will prevent spreading and cracking. Paint is a good preservative, and a coat applied every spring or fall will double the life of a tool. The Columbia Slate says: "Prof. J. G. Clinks calea, of the Columbia Female Col? lege, who was recently elected assistant Iwofessor of mathematics at ClemsonCol ego, says he was not an applicant for the position, and the first intimation he had of his election was through the papers. This is very flattering to him when it is re? membered that there were so many appli I cations. He has accepted the position, but will probably continue at the Female College until January. He does not know when his successor wiU be elected." Tbe striking pictorial features of Frank i Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper for the week ending August 15th are sketches of ocean 1 travel, making a double-page, and done j in Clinedinst's best style.

I The two striking articles of the number relate to the new Private Land Court, [ with portraits of the judges, and "Free Education in England," by Edward Por ritt, of the Manchester Examiner. j Another venerable citizen has been called from time into eternity in the per? son of Mr, John N< Harkness, who died at his home in Martin Township last Fri? day evening. His illness was of short du? ration, and the announcement of his death was a shock to his nume.ous friends. He was about 80 years of age, and throughout his long life was remark? ably hale and vigorous. Mr. Harkness was a most excellent, upright citizen, and in every relation of life discharged his du? ties well. He was born and reared and has always resided in this County, and was recognized as one of the leading citi? zens of his community. He had long been a zealous member of the First Creek Baptist Church, and his remains wore in? terred in the graveyard adjoining that Church on Saturday, Rev. R. D. Hawkins conducting the funeral services. A wife and several daughters are left to mourn his death, and in their bereavement thoy have many sympathizers. Last Wednesday afternoon, at -1.30 o'clock, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Cochran, in this city, their daughter, Miss Olive P. Cochran, was married to Mr. C. S. Minor, also of this place. The ceremony was performed bv Rev. M. E, Parrish, pastor of the Baptist Church of this city. The wodding, although a pri? vate one, was attended by quite a number of relatives and intimate friends of the contracting parties. The bride is the third daughter of Col. John R. Cochran, and is a strikingly pretty lady, and one of great taste and cultivation. The groom, Mr. C. S. Minor, is a native of Milledge villo, Ga., but came to Anderson a few years ago and embarked in the mercantile business. He has met with success, and ; is now identified as one of the leading bu? siness men of our growing city. After re? ceiving the congratulations of their friends, the happy couple left on the west bound train for Chattanooga, whore they will spend a few days. From thence they will visit all the prominent cities of Georgia, including Milledgeville, the old home of the groom, where they will spend some ten days with his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Minor will return to Anderson about tho first of September. To all Ministers of the Gospel and Sunday School Workers of Anderson County. Dear Brethren :?As has already been announced through the papers, the third annual session of tho "Anderson County Sunday School Association" (Interdenom? inational) will convene at Sandy Springs August 20th, and remain in session two days. An interesting program has been arranged and a copy sent to every school in the County, and it is earnestly desired that each Superintendent will see that his school is represented at this meeting. We feel assured that the Ministers of the Gospel are deeply interested in any project that has for its object the upbuilding of the Lord's Kingdom, and that they will lend their active support toward making this meeting a success. Let ns come to? gether, brethren, and by an interchange of ideas and a discussion of methods, place the Sunday Schools of our County upon a higher plane of usefulness. The sole ob? ject of this organization, is by coming in contact with each other and discussing the various methods of work, to make our? selves more efficient in the grand an noble work in which we are engaged, and surely no lover of the work will refuse io lend his or her support and influence to this object. Brethren, pray for the presence of the Holy Spirit, that God will greatly bless this meeting, and that its results may be the salvation of souls. L. P. Smith, A. B. Towers, C. P. Jokes, W. T. McGill, D. H. Russell, Ex. Com. Come to the Mission. , " Whosoever will, let him come!" Brethren and Fhiunds : On Tuesday, August ISth, we Intend, God being our helper, to begin a course of preaching services In Grace Church. Wo have a two-fold desire and aim: First, to stir up the wills of God's people?those already pledged, through the Sacrament of Bap? tism, to the service of Christ. Second, to invite those who have not yet tasted that the Lord is gracious, to como unto him, that they may have lifo, that they mar have it more abundantly, over and abovo this life, which to all, saint and sinner, over proves so unsatisfying. All of you, then?will you not come, and let us reason together ? For theso few days, let us apply our hearts unto wisdom. Let us apply our thoughtful judgment to the problems which out-reach the boundaries of the world we live in. Christians! will you let this one thing be fixed in your minds?your example, In coming or stay? ing away, may be tho rise or fall of many,perhaps some of your own blood! "I speak as unto wlso men. judge yo what I say." If this invitation should fall under the atten? tive eye of those-who, for any reason, have not yet allowed themselves to feel tho Healer's touch come, we affectionately entreat you?come to these services. If you are at all willing to reason about theso matters of eternal import, come and hear. Be men and women of courage. You are in? vited before a Father, not a tyrant?a Father who yearns after you In tho lovo through which He sent His only begotten and dearly beloved Son to seek and to save your souls. All that we ask of you, and that for your own well-being, is this?como and see! Como with an honest motive, with a hearty willingness to try tho tests, whether or not tho prince of devils is a better task-master than the Prince of Peace. We implore the earnest prayers of all. Pray that these services and sermons may be affective. Pray for all those who may come to them. Pray for the ministers to be engaged in them. Pray for the preacher, who is to conduct them, that his words may bo seasoned with wisdom and love, that with all boldness ho may speak the Word, as the Holy Spirit of God shall give him utterance. May God be among us and bless us, and by His mighty power help ua to the saving of precious souls, through the one Mediator between God and man, Christ Jesus our Saviour!

Note?Services regularly, from Tuesday, each day, through Sunday, at 0 a. m. and 8.30 p. m. Honen Path. The Alliance pic nie passed off very pleasantly. So far as we could judge the crowd assembled were pretty solid against the sub-treasury bill, all the speakers being against it. Only one speaker favored the sub-treasury plan at all, and he admitted that he didn't know what the details of the plan would be. A good deal of excitement was caused last Thursday afternoon, about the time most of the people had left the pic nie. It seems that two negroes had been gam | bling just outside of town, when one of them seized the stakes and ran off. The other began to scream and yell as if ho were in great distress. Soon a crowd of about fifty men and boys assembled. They began a chase of the man who had taken the money, who, after fleeing about a half mile, was captured. He and the other negro were given a preliminary hear? ing on Friday morning, and both were bound over to Court to be tried for gam? bling. Mr. J. C. Milford's new brick store is nearly ready for use.

Mrs. Margaret Dodson, of Donnald's, had the misfortune to lose her house on last Saturday night. The family were at Church when the house was discovered to be on fire.. Much of her household goods were burned. Mr. Verge Brownlee, her son-in-law, who lives in the house with her, lost nearly all of his furniture. There was no insurance. Mr. Hudson, a recent graduate of Fur man University,: has been elected princi? pal of the Donualdsyille school. Roy. A. C. Stepp assisted Rev. R. W. Burts in his meeting at Big Creek last week. Rev. L. M. Rice, assisted by Rev. R. J. Williams, is carrying on a meeting at Shady Grove this week. W; C. Branyan, L. P. Brock, W. S. Brock and T. R.

Ena, the eldest daughter of Mr. John Brown, has been very sick with scarlet fever, but we are glad to know that she is improving. Mr. R. T. Chamblee had the misfortune of losing a valuable ox the other day. Misses Bettie and Bessie Norris, of West? minster, are spending a few weeks in this ' section with their auut. Mrs. Eliza Norris. Mr. John Gaines, of Townville, has been visiting in our midst. A crowd of young gents from this com? munity have gone to the mountains to spend a few days. The darkey that is wanted at Seneca passed through this section one day last week on his way to Georgia. Some of our boys are looking too much at the Georgia girls, I think. They went over there and stayed several days, but that did not satisfy them, and they went back last Sunday to the campmeeting. Mr. Robert Chamblee has commenced hauling the lumber to remodel his dwell? ing house and mill. I wish some of my brother correspon? dents would tell me what will kill the mites, as I hear some of my neighbors say they have plenty and some to spare. A oertain gentleman around this place, who has his eye cast over tho river, was crossing at Hatton's Ford tho other day and his animal slipped off of a sliok rock. I guess you know what happened to him. He was as wet as a drowned rat and mad as a hornet. Max. Piercetown Alliance No, 225, will have a call meeting at Liberty Springs School House on Saturday. August 15th, at four o'clock, p. in. The mooting will be one of importance and we hope the members Will turn out promptly, A MiaiK?B. Bishop's Branch News. Well, Mr. Editor, as I haven't seen any thing in your valuable paper from this part of the County, and thinking probably some of your readors would like to hear from "Possum Corner," I will try and Bend you a few dots for publication. A few of our farmers haven't finished laying-by on account of the recent exces? sive rains; notwithstanding, crops are looking fine?upland corn especially. Cot? ton is looking very well, and after all, I think, if the season continues favorable, there will bo a fair crop of cotton gathered in this section Mr. Q. W. Kelley has the finest average crop of cotton we have seen this season, and his other crops are as good in propor? tion. Mr. Kelley is a splendid farmer and knows how to farm. Mr J. S. Newton has been very sick, but we are glad to say is at present improving. We have three Sunday Schools in this community?a union school at this place, a Baptist school at Corinth and a Metho? dist school at Chapel. I think we can make a very good showing in regard to Sunday Schools. We also huve preach? ing four times a month. At Corinth by Rev. Weldon on fourth Saturday and Sunday, and at Chapel by Rev. O'Dell on first Saturday morning and second Sunday afternoon. There are two cotton gins, two corn mills and two saw mills in the communi? ty, owned by Mr. Wm. Watkins and Col. D. K. Norris respectively. Mr. A. W. Gillespie owns a cotton gin and a saw mill, and Mr. Andrew Whitten is build? ing a gin house and will "gin" the coming season. All of the gins and mills are near enough for the inhabitants of this, imme? diate community to patronize. Mr. H. A. Johnson is teaching a success? ful day school at this place. It would be difficult to find a more efficient teacher than Mr. Johnson. He is the right man in the right plaoe. Mr. H. S. Trescot wears the smile at present. Ic's a boy. There is a certain young man in the neighborhood who is somewhat small in stature. He went to see the girls one Sun? day and disappointed their little brothers, as they were heard to say the next week they thought the fellow come to play with them. Do you see the point ? I don't suppose we are far behind other cities for we have some bachelors, too. They are handsome and excellent young men, and a young lady would do good business to capture either one of them. I heard the younger say some time ago he was going to marry this fall, but then you can judge for yourself whether he was lying or joking, or telling the truth. Of course, your humble correspondent has his own opinion about it. I forgot to tell you that he (Mr. Bachelor) is going to re? pair his residence soon, so says rumor. Well, Mr. Editor, as this is my first epistle I will olose, and if it escapes' the waste basket will write again. Alts?. Ego. Belton Items. The Third District Alliance will meet here Friday, W. D.

Miss Bettie Smith, the efficient teacher of this place, we are sorry to say, was not able to come to her chool last Monday. We fear she has the fever again, though we hope not. Many a cheerful heart was cut down when the sad news came that their teacher was siok, your most humble correspondent being one of that number. By the help of God we do sincerely hope she will be able to resume her position in the school room again at an early period. Well, I believe crops are as good as I have ever seen them, considering the late start in the spring. The smile that one of your correspon? dents relates that "Monroe" has been wearing, I think, is about threadbare. I think it will wear into a hole, then he will fall through. A young man, whom we will call Bud, was slightly kicked atSix-and-Twenty the other night. Don't know whether on the leg, head or where it was, but I think it hurt him under the left arm worst. Back your ears and come again, Bud. Maybe you will get there after awhile. Mr. R. E. Melton's potato vines, I be? lieve, hold their own about as well as any I have seen. They wore about six inches long when he set them out, and I guess they are that long yet. God has seen fit in his wisdom to call ten infants from our midst this year, all of whom have been laid to rest in the Six and-Twenty Churchyard. Be careful, old ones, your time is sure to come. Oh! mothers and fathers, you will have to serve the Lord if you meet those little ones. They are to-day at that place which is prepared fors all those who will come. Isn't It a blessed thought ? The prayer meeting at this place has been onanged to Six-and-Twenty. Every one should turn out, especially the old ones. Don't lay around home, but come to the meeting with your children.

Cowan's series of meetings closed last Sunday night with about fifteen accessions to the Church. A goodly num? ber of Church members, who have not been living up to their vows were brought back to their Saviour, and there were a good many who professed to be sanc? tified. This community has not had such, a meeting in five or six. years: It was re? ported that this was the meanest place in the County, but the meeting passed off as quiet as a lamb. Starr is not as bad as she is represented to be. Capt. Wm, Jones has not been able to walk for the last two or three weeks. Miss Dora Pettigrew is spending a few days with her sister, Mrs. C. E.

Stuart has just returned from a visit to the mountains.

The ninth annual meeting of Com? pany "D," Hampton Legion Survivors Association, was held at Williamston on Friday, 7th inst. There was some twenty five of the old Veteran Company present, and a few old veterans from other com? mands?perhaps forty in all. I read .yes? terday in the Saturday Blade, published at Chicago, that there were forty thousand of the G. A. R's. assembled in one day a Detroit Michigan. Just what about that 1 Here it is twenty-six years since the war, and the Yankees can muster forty thous? and in one day at one place, and we could not have done that when the war ended, with all of our army combined. But we don't get any pensions. If we did we conld raise a few thousand any day. don't believe any of the Yankees have died since the war, except a few of the old and best Generals. I wish they would pensior us so we would not die out so fast. The old "boys" had a pleasant time together talking over the ups and downs of our army life. Some of them we had not seen since the surrender. They are getting grey, and the most of them, when asked to read a letter or paper, had to pull out his spectacles. Yes, thirty years ago we were boys from seventeen to twenty-five, now we are getting old and grey. All have started down the hill of life, and some are nearly to the bottom. We had one favorite veteran with us who has pass? ed his three-score and ten, and we had letter from one?who we regret was not able to meet with us?who is a octogena? rian. Crops are fine in this vicinity, but a lit? tle rain would revive the corn and do it good now. Prof. Rozelle attempted to make an as? cension in his balloon on Saturday even? ing, but from some cause, his parachute broke loose from the balloon just as he started up and let him fall, but did not hurt him seriously. The balloon went perhaps a hundred feet high, after being loose, and turned upside down letting the hot air escape and came down. More anon. Lee. Guaranteed Cure for La Grippe.
