The ball entered William's right side just below the ribs and has never been found. Williams may die. Young was arrested immediately, though against bis will, and is now in jail await? ing the outcome of William's condition. Young claims that the shooting was acci? dental, as he was shooting at something else. We desire our readers to note carefully the new advertisement of C. P. Jones de Co., whose establishment is now literally packed with new goods for the fall and winter trade. A few days ago one of the courteous proprietors escorted us through tlieir establishment, and when we came out we were thoroughly convinced that a prettier stock of goods has never been Bbown in Anderson. It would take more space than we have at our command just now to describe the many new novelties we saw there, and therefore we can only mention them in a general way. A mem? ber of the firm has spent several weeks in tbe market, and was very caretul in se? lecting his stock, which includes every? thing usually found in a first-class gen? eral dry gcods establishment. On their first floor we were shown samples of their beautiful dress goods, from the common print to the finest silks, etc. There are many new novelties in this department, which the firm is making a specialty of tbis season.

On this floor we also find an im? mense stock of clothing, which these gen? tlemen are making a specialty of this soa sou. Every department is complete, and it will pay the old aud the young of both sexes to give this live firm a call. Noth? ing- pleases'them more than to show their goods and.quote prices, for then they know they will make a sale.

The latter has been elected Principal of the Townville High School, and will be? gin his duties.next Monday, when the school opens. Prof. Rice is a graduate of Hauipdon-Sydney College, Va., and comc3 into our County highly recom? mended. The Intelligencer extends him a cordial welcome to our County. The patrons of this school are requested to meet next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock to attend to some important mat? ters, and all should attend. As the weather on last Sabbath night was inclement the audience that came out to the union meeting in the Baptist Church was small. Dr. Frierson preached the sermon, and it is seldom that more practical thenghts and timely advice are presented to an audience. As the sermon was preached by request of the Y. M. C. A. it was directed mainly to the young men, and it is to be regretted that so few were present to hear it. These services will be continued, and on next Sabbath night the Rev. T. F. Gadsden will preach in the Presbyterian Church. This course of sermons, preached for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. by the various pastors of the city,.are highly interesting, and in good weather large congregations have been present. In company with our young friend, R. L. Robinson, we went down into the lower section of the County and worshipped at First Creek Church last Sunday. This Church is now under the pastorate of Rev R. D. Hawkins, who is doing a good work there. The services on this occasion were unusually interesting, and attracted a very large congregation. After an ex? ceedingly impressive and eloquent ser? mon from the pastor, three new deacons, Messrs. E. C. Shirley, John A. Alewine and J. D. Muraock, who had been elected to serve the Church at a preceding meet? ing, were regularly ordained. First Creek Church is one of the oldest in the Saluda Association, and has a large mem? bership. We had the pleasure of dining that day at the hospitable home of Mr- E. B. Norris, and returned home late that afternoon. A visit to tho First Creek sec? tion is always highly enjoyed by us. One of the pleasant events of tho season took place at the home of Mrs. M. E. Keese, of this city, on Wednesday after? noon of last week. This was the marriage of Miss Helen Keeso. the second daughter of Mrs, Keese, to Mr. H. M. Dunwoody, of Atlanta. The ceremony took place in the presence of a few relatives and friends, and was performed by the Rev. Dr. Frier son- The bridal party left on the evening train for the home of the groom. Miss Helen Keese was one of our brightest and most charming young ladies, and many friends parted with her with deep regret. Mr. Dunwoody is one of Atlanta's push iog business men, and deserves hearty congratulations on securing one of An? dersons fairest prizes. The mother and a sister of the groom accompanied him here. The Intelligencer conveys wishes for great happiness and prosperity for the young couple. W. A. Chapman, agent, has a new ad? vertisement in another column, in which he tel's our readers something about his fall and winter goods, which he has pur? chased at unusually low prices, and which be is going to sell the same way. Mr. Chapman has always carried an attractive stock of goods, making a specialty of what pleased the fair sex. His stock this season has been selected with his usual care and good judgment, and every department is complete. His friends and customers should remember that he is now occupj' ing the store room formerly occupied by E. W. Brown & Sons, just below the Ma? sonic Temple, and that a cordial welcome always awaits you in his establishment. He can show as pretty a line of goods as you will find in any city, and he will give satisfaction to every person who will buy his goods. Call and inspect his goods the next time you visit Anderson. Mr. William Riley Cooley, son of Mr. E. T. Cooley and a brother of Mr. J. Matt Cooley, died at his home in Hartwell, Ga., on Friday, 25th ult., after an illness of about three weeks with typhoid fever. On Saturday afternoon his remains were laid to rest in the Hartwell cemetery with Masonic honors, in the presence of a large congregation of friends and acquaintances. Mr. Cooley was born and reared in An? derson County, and was about 38 years of 8ge. In 1881 he married Miss Lucinda C. Wilson of this County, who, with four small children survive him. Mr. Ccoley spent the greater portion of his life in this County, aud about a year ago moved to Hartwell, where he was engaged in a suc? cessful business. He professed religion a short time before bis sickness, and on his sick bed expressed regrets that he had not joined the Church. He talked often and freely to his family, friends and brother masons about dyin:r, and said he had no doubts as to his soul's salvation- Mr. Cooley v;as an upright, industrious ruan, and by his economy and good judgment had accumulated a good estate. In their bereavement his family will have the sympathy of many friends. Anticipating an extensive trade this fall and winter, Lesser & Co. have made every preparation by purchasing one of the lar? gest and most varied stocks of dry goods, notions, gents' furnishing goods, boots, shoes, bats, clothing, etc., they have ever shown to thoir customers, and thoir estab? lishment is now-an attractive place to visit. It should be remembered that they now occupy one of the handsome storerooms of the Masonic Temple, and in their new advertisement this week they tell the rea? ders of Ihe Intelligence!! of the many bargains they have in store for them. Read what they say, and when you visit the city givo them a call before making your purchases elsewhere, We have had th<j pleasure of viewing their immense stock, and, in every department we find all of the new novelties and the latest de? signs that have come out this season. Mr. Lesser has had years of experience in the dry goods business, and he knows when and what to buy, and his customers get the benefit of this experience. They can show the ladies a very large variety of millinery, and in their dress goods depart? ment they defy competition. The men, too, can get anything they want there, and at prices that will please them. In short, every man, woman and child in the County can have their wants supplied there, and the courteous salesmen will take pleasure in showing any article you may call for. Th^y quote prices on cloth? ing, and guarantee to sell everything as cheap. The advertisement of Jones, Seybt & Co. will no doubt attract your attention, and we advise you to read it carefully, for it contains information for every person who expects to buy dry goods, boots, shoes, hats, millinery, furnishing goods, etc.. this season. We have had the pleasure of be? ing escorted through their establishment, and in every department we were shown so many pretty goods we scaruely know where to begin to tell our readers about them. Upon entering their store their handsome and tastefully dressed show windows catch the eye, and from there to the extreme portions of the building, on both floors, a person can be interested for a long time in viewing the large and hand? some stock of goods. These gentlemen are making a specialty on fine dress goods, which include many now designs. The plain and plaid camel's hair gooda, and the many new noyeltles in dress trimmings are greatly admired by (the ladies. These goods are nearly all imported, and are very reasonable in price. Their stock of boots and shoes is large, and in their furnishing goods department they can please any customer. The upper ?oo.* is where tho ladies are most interested, and Just now it is very attractive to them. Here we wera shown everything, needed in the millinery line, and some very hand some sample hats of the latest style. This department is in ohargo of Miss Tipton, a most tasteful and experienced milliner. From hero we were conducted into the drevs-niaklng department, which Mrs. C C. Cummings has in charge. This lady I needs no introduction to our readers, fqr j she never fails to give satisfaction. On : this floor w? Were showuva beautiful dis bought a larger stock than usual' this sea ; son, and they are determined to sell them, carpets. These gentlemen have if low prices will do it.

Editors Intelligences : Here I come on "legal cap," and when you see me come out in that style you may know I carry a heavy budget. Well, I will begin by saying that post? master W. W. Russell inspected Bruno to? day and pronounced the office right side up without a blemish, and the postmaster a gentleman and a scholar. After to-morrow tho mail from Bruno to Anderson changes hands, and thereaf? ter will be carried by Walter L. Casey. J. N. Wilson, the present incumbent, having Bold out, it does not suit him to continue the business of mail carrier. Joe has been a faithful and efficient carrier, and his removal from tbe Kingdom will be universally regretted. Duckworth & Welborn's cotton gin is doing the most and the best work of any gin north of 3S!-30?Bob Mason and Piak Dixon line. They have again secured the services of O, W.

Pressley, the coming mer? chant, will make his advent into the Kingdom on Thursday next with a full assortment and a full supply of goods, which he proposes to sell at prices to suit the pockots of the worthy Kingdomites. We are all ready to extend to Mr. Pressley the right hand of fellowship. Mr. J. C. Pressley is a brother of Rev. A. T. Press less, the founder of the doctrine of "John Henry going around the curve." Your humble servant has succeeded in getting bis manure all hauled borne and deposited on his own premises without being reduced to the painful necessity of using his double-barreled cannon or bull dogs, and he still wants to buy large quantities of manure delivered, as he is un? willing to take any-further risks.

It is generally believed that the cotton is short one-third on many farms. Fodder pulling is about over, and picking cotton and hauling it to the gin is the business of the Kingdom. The corn and pea crop is number one. Excuse brevity this time, and J will stretph out longer next time BLANKS. P. S.?Since I closed I learn that B. S.

Some people are very much op Eosed to working the roads more than alf a day a year; they say they don't need it. "Baldhead" works the above named road, and he bad to work six days, and that is where the shoe pinches. I heard the Commissioner of this.divis? ion say this road was one of three of the best worked roads in his division, and I think it is time these smart Alecks, as "Selah" calls them, were made to stop their falsehoods and Blander- * Respectfully, Joe Bebky Fun?13&busu::br.
