Anderson County has again been oalled upon to mourn the death of one of its oldest citizens in the person of Mr. Henry K. Crawford, who died at his homo, about four miles southwest of tbe city, last Sun? day afternoon at 1 o'clock, aged 82 years. His remains were interred in the Moun? tain Creek Churchyard on Monday, 4 wife, three daughters and, two uon3 are loft to'cherish his memory, and in their bereavement they have the sympathy of a wide oirple of friends and relatives. Mr. Crawford was born and reared and had always resided on t}ie same plantation wheifp he died. He was a remarkably pale, healthy man. and was neyer knqwn to haye baa a spell of sickness. He was in his usual health until a week preoeding his death, wh6n he was stricken down suddenly with a disease of the kidneys, which caused his death. Mr. Crawford was well posted in the history of this seo tion, and it was t treat to his friends to meet him and hear him talk of the scenes and Incidents} of his early life. Rev. 0. R. Brown, pastor of the colored M. E. Church of this city, is conducting a series of meetings, in which much interest is manifested. The Church is packed to its utmost capacity at each service, and many have to atand on the outside Thesie meetings havo been a blessing to the Church, the entire membership have been quickened, and many wanderers have been reclaimed. Forty persons havo been converted since the meeting com? menced, and sixty have joined tbe Church, which makes two hundred and five persons taken into the Church by tho pastor within the last eighteen months. The meeting will continue the balance of this week. Mr. John Tims died at his home in Hopeweli Township on Friday, 4th inst., aged 7G years. He had been confined to his bed about eight months with Bright's disease, and at titnea was a great sufferer. Hu* remains were interred on Saturday in the >ix and-Twenty Churchyard. Mr. Tims was born and reared on the planta? tion where be died, and, with tho excep? tion of a few years, bad always resided there. He was an upright, honest man, and was highly esteemed by his neigh? bors. He seryed throngh the war in the Gist Rifles, and had the reputation of be? l?g a very brave soldier. Mr. Tims was twice married. A wife and a large family are left to mourn his death. Some farmers are fearing that the pota? toes may rot, and some state that rot has begun, owing to the frequent rains and wet condition of the ground. We are in? formed, says an exchange, that a certain farmer tried an experiment last year which proved most efficacious in saving part of his crop from rotting. He found that his potatoes were showing signs of rot and at once cut and removed the tops of the potatoes from one-half of his patch. On this portion of ground, when he dug the potatoes a few weeks afterwards, they were found to be sound, while on the other portion where the tops were allowed to remain the potatoes were nearly all rotten when dug. The plan is easy to work and looks reasonable, as the ground gets an opportunity to dry out. A movement has been inaugurated at Townvillt in raise a fund with which to suitably mark the grave at that place of Dr. James J. Coate, who died there in 18G2, a victim of small pox, and a committee, consisting of Messrs. J. A. Gantt, Sr., W. S. Woolbright and P. M. VVhitfield, has been appointed to solicit subscriptions for that purpose. Those interested whom the committee cannot see in person may mail their contributions to any of the commit? tee at Townville, and they will be promptly acknowledged. Dr. Coate was a skillful practitioner and had conse? quently a very heavy practice, a great part of which was gratuitous, but he was never known to turn a deaf ear to any call. Such men are benefactors to hu? manity, and it is therefore eminently commendable that his old neighbors and friends, who at some time must have been the recipients of his skill, should deter? mine that his grave shall not pass into ob? livion. Death of Dr. W. H, Todd. Last Friday night, about 10 o'clock, Dr. Wm. Harvey Todd died at his home ou McDufne street, in this city. As was stated in the Intelligbnckb last week, he was stricken down on Saturday night preced? ing with a severe congestive chill, which was followed by an attack of pneumonia, and he gradually grew weaker until death came to his rea^f. He was conscious up to within a few minutes of his death, and, fully realizing his condition, he called his family and several intimate friends to his bedside and bade them an affectionate farewell, and then calmly and peacefully crossed over the river. Dr. Todd was a son of Pinckney Todd, deceased, and iu the 41st year of his ago. He was born and reared in Anderson County, and was well known throughout the County. Being deprived of a father's support and care in his early youth, his pathway to manhood was at times rough and rugged, but he struggled on and se? cured a good common school education, several years being spent under tbe train? ing of the late Pro/. Ligou. In his early manhood he selected the medical profession as his avocation for life, and in 1874 gradu? ated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Baltimore, standing very high in his class. He located at once at Belton to practice hin profession, and by his ge? nial disposition, pleasant, courteous man? ners and close attention to His patients, he was not long in building up a very fine practice. About a year ago he moved to Anderson, and with his brother, Mr. A. K- Todd, opened a drug store here. The Doctor continued to practice medicine, and was succeeding finely. . Indeed, he had a very bright and promising future before him. In 1879 Dr. Todd was happily married to Miss Hattie Latimer, of Abbeville County. This union was blessed with four bright little children. In his youth he joined the Methodist Church, and re? mained a faithful and zealous member of the same until his death. He loved the Church of his choice, and was a liberal and cheerful supporter of all her institu? tions. He was universally esteemed as a man of admirable purity, kindness and meekness of spirit, and faithfully dis? charged his duties in every relation of life. He made a friend of every acquaintance? in fact, we doubt if he had ah enemy. Death is sad under any and all circum? stances, but when such a good, useful man is stricken down in the prime of life it is peculiarly sad. Ander on has cer? tainly lost a good citizen, and the recol? lections of his many virtues will never be obliterated from the hearts and memory of his loved ones and numerous friends. On Sunday afternoon, at 5 o'clook, the funeral services were held in the Metho? dist Church, and were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Cbas. B. Smith, in the pres? ence of a large concourse of bereaved friends, after which tbe remains were laid to rest in the Silver Brook Cemetery. Belton Items. On Sunday night, tho 6th inst., Dr. Chas. Manly baptized four brethren into the fellowship ot the Belton Baptist Church, Little Jimmie Smith, the son of Rev. J. T. Smith, of this place, while endeavoring last Sunday afternoon to jump the picket fence separating the back yard from the front yard, got his clothes caught on a picket and was thrown forward on his head, thus resulting in straining the mus? cles of his neck in a very painful manner. Dr. Campbell was called to see the little sufferer, and he reported that no serious damage had been done to the child. Two very instructive and impressive sermons were preached here last Sunday and Sunday eve by Rev. Chas. Manly, D. D., the pastor of the Baptist Church at this place. Quite a number of new students were enrolled in the Belton High School last Monday. We are glad to know that the prospects of this school are so flattering. Many of the boarders who have been summering at the Belton Hotel, have left for their homes and other parts, We are very sorry to hear of the serious condition of Mr. Hugh Knox, of our town. He has been suffering severely from epilepsy for the last few days. Mrs. R. E. Walker, sister of Mrs. J. T. Smith of Belton, left last Thursday for Bartow, Ga., to visit her sister, Mrs. P. M, Brown. Little Marie, the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. H. T. Smith, of Prosperity, S.C., has been quite sick at the residence of Rev. J. T. Smith, of this town, but we are happy to learn that she is now oonvalescing.

Lewis, two of our enterprising merchauts, are off in New York purchasing their fall and win? ter stock of goods. Quite a number of our Belton people would have been present at tho funeral of Dr. W. H. Todd, of Anderson, last Sun? day afternoon, had they known when it would take place. Misses Daisy and Mattie Dean, of Spar? tan burg, aro visiting the family of Mr. A. C. Latimer; ' ' " J. T.

Miss Corrio McWhorter, of Abbeville, i3 visiting relatives near here, and some of our young men have already expressd themselves in wishing that her visit may be a yery much protracted one. Rev- G. W. Rodgers, pastor, assisted by Rev. Marion Gassaway, have been con? ducting a series of meetings at Rocky River. The meeting was very interesting, and resulted in twenty-seven accessions to the Church. Mr. Boss McAdams has acoepted a posi? tion as salesman for A. G. Means, Ander? son, S. C. May he prove to be as success? ful a salesman as he has been a farmer. We regret to give him up: more espe? cially Miss-does. The recent rains have been more than plenteous, which has resulted in the dam? age of some fodder and cotton in this community, but we have been blessed in not having the washing rains that many parts of our County have experienced. Mr. C. H. Bailey, one of our most ener? getic farmers, has purchased a pair of wu<;on scales and a suction outfit for con? venience and improvement in ginning cot? ton this fall. He has also put a new ad? dition to bis gin-house. This, with other convenient arrangements, will enable him to do better work than ever. S. 0, Jackson, Esq., let off his mill-dam a few weeks ago. A large crowd gathered to sec it and to participate in catching fish. They were successful in catching a goodly number, and many enjoyed an Indian dinner. Mrs. Jordan Patterson is well again, after a protracted illness of four weeks. A great many of our young people an? ticipate attending the campmeeting at Saudy Springs this month. Some of them have never been to a meeting of this kind, so we hope, if they go, tbey will act in such a way as to not only want to go agiin, but that the people will welcome them back again. Mr. J. L. Eskew is thu successor of Mr. R. E. Nichohon of the school at the Cars well Institute. Mr. John Moore had the misfortune to lose a very fine mule the 28th ult. The health of the community is very good, and we all have had our appetite sharpened by the recent cool nights and mornings. It is conceded by those who have been picking cotton, this season, that the crop is much shorter than really expected. We only speak of this immediate settlement, where we had seven weeks of dry weather. Hope it is better in other communities. It is believed that wedding bells will ring in several different houses this fall in this settlement,, and your correspondent thinka that those who entertain this belief are sufficiently justified in doing so. If told after they should have married that they are done looking for sweethearts now, we think that one of the young ladies should very readily answer, I never looked for mine but what I saw him coming. Put.ty Boy. Lebanon Item?. As nothing from Lebanon has appeared in your paper recently, I will try to give you a few items. Fodder-pulling and cotton-picking are now the order of the day. The weather is now quite favorable for such, though rain fell recently. Cotton will fall short I of what the farmers anticipated a few weeks ago. Thompson & Craig are now ready to run their molasses mill. They are worthy of the patronage of the community, for no one can make better "sorghum" than they. Yesterday was a most beautiful day, and the many bright faces at Sunday School were pleasant to see. Our school is doing well. The new music our worthy singing clerk has ordered is delightful. The patrons of Lebanon were fortunate to secure the services of Miss Rosa Greer, of Williamston, to give music lessons to the children. All should go that can pos? sibly do so, for they will nave no cause to regret it. We trust she will have a pleas? ant stay in our midst. We ever welcome Miss Rosa Milford among us. She is now visiting her many friends at this place. We hope she will stay quite awhile. Miss Mamie Wilhams, of Brushy Creek, has been visiting the family of Mr. J. R. Thompson. Come again, Miss Mamie, and stay longer next time, From the numerous buggy rides the young people were taking on yesterday P. M., we would not be surprised to hear of happy wedding bells ringing a number of times ere the New Year sets in. I trust your humble correspondent will not be forgotten when the happy times come, and at least send me a slice of cake. We noticed on yesterday a certain young man was looking exceedingly "gram," and on making inquiries we found his "best girl has gone back on him." Tut, tut! young man, there are more than one girl in the world, and my advice is cheer up, and cast your net on the other side. We have been having glorious revivals in all the Churches around, and good feel? ings prevail generally. The annual Campmeeting -at Sandy Springs will soon be on hand, and many hearts are looking forward to the time with great pleasure. We trust good order will prevail throughout, As my epistle is getting lengthy, I sus? pect I had better close, and come again later on. Bon Jotjr. Bishop's Branch News. "Da worP am made up o;f wishin' for it it to rain an' wantin' it to dear off." The above quotation strikes us very forcibly when we consider the various remarks made with reference to the weather, and though it is negro philosophy, there is a good deal of truth in it. We meet one man who says "I wish it wouldn't rain until I can get my fodder pulled," and another man says "this rain is just what I want to see, it will do my young corn so much good," and still another man says "well, L do wish it would clear off," and so the old fellow wasn't deviating far from the right line when he made the assertion. One man will grumble and fret because things don't go as he wants them to, and another man will smile and is jolly be? cause they are just as he wouldhave them. How long will it take us to realize that God knows best, and thai; He properly directs and controls all things ? There is a Scripture that says, "All things work together for good to them that love the Lord," and so some of us must be terrible sinners, for we are nearly always grum? bling about things going wrong with us. Would it not be a good idea for us to take Bill Arp's advice and try at all times to be "calm and serene." Of course we are having plenty of rain at presont. Crops are doing very well in this sec? tion, i.hough we see the rust is striking cotton in places. Miss Mettie Hammond, an accomplish? ed young lady of Anderson, S. C, is vis? iting the family of Mr. E. Lee Owen. Mrs. Matilda Owen is spending a few weeks with relatives and friends in the vicinity of Piercetown. Mrs. C. E. SwordB is very Blck, but we are informed is slowly improving. Mr. J. S. Newton had a mare to die some time ago that was a fraction over thirty-three years of age. He bought the mare when she was only two years old, and owned her until her death. Nearly all of his boys did their first plowing with old "Queen."

Mr Editor : Few occasions afford more pleasure to those attending than did the pic nio and entertainment given by Wel? come School last Friday. This school is taught by Miss Liliie E. Bigby, and is located about three miles Southeast from Piorcetown. By special invitation the writ?r was present to enjoy the day with the kind and hospitable people of that community, and he enjoyed it very much. The forenoon was spent in singing, conversing and playing base-ball. About 1 o'clock the long table prepared for the occasion was laden with such viands as would tempt the appetite of the most fas? tidious. This was a part of the program intensely enjoyed by all, and all were sat? isfied. In the afternoon the house was crowded to its utmost capacity. After music by the school an address was made by the School Commissioner, to which all gave close attention. Next came a game of bas'3-ball, and then an adjournment until candle lighting, at which time the school, in connection with the Beaverdam Lodge of Sons of Temperance, re-assembled and favored those present with an exceedingly interesting program, consisting of decla? mations, recitations, dialogues, music and a Temperance speech by School Commis? sioner Wardlaw, With this the exercises closed, and the people dispersed to their homes feeling that they had been amply paid for their attendance. In this connection we will remark that the patrons of Welcome School are alive to the education of their children, and show their wisdom in securing and re? taining such a teacher as Miss Lillie Big? by. They are satisfied with their teaoher and encourage her, and iu return their children are well and carefully trained. We are always glad to see any commu? nity building upon such a firm and solid basis. To them we would say, you are right, so go ahead. S. C. Tribute of Respect.

A curious plant grows in Arabia called the laughing plant. It is of moder? ate size, with bright yellow flowers, and soft velvety pods, each of which contains two or three seed' resembling black beans. The natives . oquently dry the seeds and reduce them to powder. It is said that a dose of this powder produces a similar effect to that of laughing gas. It causes the most sober person to dance, shout and laugh in an extremely boiste? rous manner, and to run about doing the most ridiculous things for an interval of half an hour or more. As the effects of the powder wear off exhaustion Bets in and the person falls into a deep sleep. When he awakes several hours later he has not tho slightest recollection of any? thing he did while under the influence of the drug._ La Grippe Again. During the epidemic of La Grippe last season Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, proved to be the best remedy. Reports from the many who used it confirm this statement. They were not only quickly relieved, but the disease left no bad after results. We ask you to give thisi'remedy a trial and we guarantee that you will be satisfied with results, or the purchase price will be re? funded.

JONES, SEYBT & CO TO OUR PATRONS. We now occupy the Spacious Store Room UNDER TH S MASONIC TEMPLE, WHERE we are better prepared t'osn ever to serve the TradiDg Public. On account of t!,e constant inc <ise in our business we were forced to seek large? quarters, and now we have ? ? hesitancy in saying that we have one of the best lighted, largest and most i?|:icious Store Rooms to be found in Upper Carolina. Tabing this in connection ?i h our long experience as merchants and buyers, we are positive that we can off-r you good Goods at much lower prices than elsewhere. We are great believers in s; ? rt profits, and not to misrepresent any of our merchan? dise. For example, if a piV. o of goods is cotton, we say this is all cotton. On the other baud, if it is part won! .ind cotton, we say the chain is cotton and the warp is wool. As to Low Prices, We would say, if an article <? ist us one dollar we would gladly offer same at one dollar and ten cents; but 11 do this we have decided to confine ourselves to Cash or. Delivery, because we would oe compelled to turn our money over at least three times a year, and in order ui do a much larger ar d more modern business we have decided to inaugurate the "One Price Plan/' and from now on, henceforth and for* ever, we will give? One Price to All! By this method a mere child can come into our Establishment and shop just as well as au aged person.

We have at all times carried a fair stock of? I READY MADE CLOTHING f For Men and Boys, but thin season we went perfectly wild; we found prices so low, on account of over product* a, that the temptation was too great. We went into a Manufacturer's who had one hundred Suits that cost six dollars to make: he was compelled to sell, and we sp ured the lot at four dollars. We now offer this excel? lent bargain, as long as th*- 'ot latts, at four dollars and forty cents. We have so much Clothing that we do not know what to say first. To make a long stor/short, we will add that our Cmicv.- Made Goods are grand, and fully 25 per cent cheaper than elsewhere. Wo have secured the Agency for the? Harrisburg: Shoe Company.
