anxious to leave this world, and hoped he
would not be forced to leave it for years

While in Honea Path recently we visited
the new dental office of our clever yonng
friend, Dr. J. F. Wilson. It 1s on the
second floor of the new building erected
by Mr. K. M. Shirley, and is a model of
convenience and comfort, and would be
creditable to a large city. The-Doctor is
not only an expert in dentistry, but a
most excellent gentleman in every respect.
He needs a wife, and. but for his modesty,
no doubt would secure one. As this is
leap year, we suggest that some one of the
fair sex approach him on the subject of
matrimony. !

The Athens (Ga.) Banner, of Tuesday,
says: "He had escaped from tho South
Carolina Penitentiary, but be will go back
there iu all human probability. Messrs.
John and Arthur Arnold, of this city,
learned tbe other day that a certain negro
about twenty-one years old, and named
Will Porter, had escaped from the South
Carolina Penitentiary, and was in Geor?
gia. A reward had also been offered for
him. Now, the Messrs. Arnold had seen
this boy arouud Athens for quite a while,
but had supposed he bad worked out his
time. As soon as they learned he was an
escaped convict they at once tracked hira
dowb, and yesterday ran across him near
the Paper Mill bridge. They stopped him,
talked pleasantly to him, and then Mr.
Arthur Arnold laid his hand on him and
told him his purpose. The negro shot
away from him I ke a rocket. Several
ballets were sent after him as he llew on
down the road, and suddenly tbe negro
keeled over. They thought they had
killed him, but found he had simply ex?
hausted hiro?elf in running and was ready
to give up. Porter is now in jail and will
be turned over to the proper authorities
of South Carol'.oa, when called for in the
proper mauner. Messrs. Arnold will get
tbe reward for capturing the escaped con?

An exchange says January is so called
from Janas, a Roman deity supposed to
be the caie-keeper of Heaven. He was
always figured with two faces one look?
ing hack and the other forward. One face
is old and wrinkled, emblematic of time
past, the other round and smooth, the
type of lime present and future. The
German-speaking countries formerly
called January Lauw-maand or '-Frosty,
month ;" the old Saxons called it Wulf
monnth, because wolves were very
troublesome at that time on account of
scarcity of food. With the introduction
of Christianity into Britain came a change
of the name of January, which for -400
years thereafter was called ..Eiter-You la,
I meaning "after Christmas." With the
I opening of the Touth Century the Saxon
name for January was again changed, the
new namo being Ferrnnmonalh or "first
month." In the French Republican cal?
endar it was called Nivose.
Last Monday a sad and fatal accident
occurred in Corner Township, the victim
being Mr. Joseph Watt, one of the oldest
citizens of that section. On the day men
tionfd Mr. Walt left his home to walk
over to the home of his niece, who lived
near by. He was quite feeble, and not
having returned home in due time, search
was instituted lor him and he was found
dead in a gully not far from his niece's
home. It is presumed, in attempting to
cross tbe gully, he fell in and was
drowned, as a good flow of water was run?
ning through the gully t' the time. Trial
Justice Scudday held an inquest over the
remains on Tuesday and tbo verdict was
in accordance with these facts, we are in?
formed. Mr. Watt was about 80 years of
age and lived with a widowed sister, he
being a bachelor. He was familiarly
known as "Little Joo" Watt, and was one
of the most upright, inoffensive citizens of
Anderson County. He was highly es?
teemed by his friends and acquaintances',
and this announcement of his death will
b" read with sorrow by them.
Anderson County has lost another good
citizen in the death of Dr. John Wilson,
which occurred at his home in William
ston on Tuesday, 5th inst. Dr. Wilson
was a native of Laurens County, but in
his young manhood ho graduated from
the South Carolina Medical College, and
soon thereafter settled at Honea Path to
practice his profession. From there he
moved to Williamstou, where he has ever
since resided. Until old age and bad
health caused him to abandon tbe prac?
tice of medicine, he was one of the most
prominent physicians in the County. He
was a man of good, sound practical judg?
ment, and in every relation of life dis?
charged bis duties fearlessly and faith?
fully. He was well known throughout
this aoction, and had served this County
three terms in tbe Legislature. He served
through the Mexican war in tbe Palmetto
Regiment under Col. Pierce Butler, and
was a gallant soldier. He had long been
a most zealous member of the Presbyte?
rian Church, and in his latter years was
an elder of his Church. He was truly a
Christian, and was ever willing and ready
to comfort the sufiering and assist the
needy. He had the confidence of bis fel?
low-man, and by his kind, gentle disposi?
tion made a friend of every acquaintance.
He has g'me to bis eternal home to reap
the rewards of a well spent life. Dr. Wil?
son was twice married. He leaves a
widow and four children to mourn his
death, aud in their bereavement they have
many sympathizers. Dr. Wilson had
been in fteble health for two or three
years. Two weeks preceding his death
he was attacked wttb a severe cold,
wbioh terminated in pueumonia, causing
his death. Mis remains were laid to rest
in the Big Creek Churchyard, near Wil?
liamston, after appropriate funeral ser?
vices conducted by his pastor, Rev. C. L.
Stewart.

of large heart and generous nature, of firm
but kind disposition. His friondship was
strong and enduring, and among tbe
youug men under his >:harge iu the mill
no man had more or truer frieuds. He
was a good man, and always interested in
the public welfare, and especially in the
cause of religion and masonry. His ser?
vices were always at command in any
good work, and in his social and domestic
relations his life was one of great useful?
ness. In the various places in the Lodge
which he had been called upon to till he

often portrayed iu his every day life, the
boains of consolation bursting forth from
tho dark clouds that envelop them. They
know that though the dust has returned
to the earth us it was, yet the spirit has re?
turned to the God who g:ive it. Our
brother is not dead but sleepeth, and he
and wo will hereafter mepfin that celestial
Lodge, of which this earthly one is but a
type. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That this Lodge of Ancient
Free and Accepted Masons bow with pro?
found sorrow at tho bereavement sustain?

T. Hardeman, and has lost one of its most
useful and honored members.
Resolved, That it extends its sympathy
to his family in their deep afflictions and
tonder to them this loving tribute to his
memory. Faithful, honest and just, ho
has a bright spot in our remembrance.
Resolved, That a page in our records be
inscribed to his memoiy, and that a copy
of this preamble and these resolutions be
sent to his family, and to the Greenville
and Anderson papers for publication.

God in His Allwise Providence has seen
fit to take the little one He lent us for a
few short months. Little Willie, who
made our hearts and homes happy, has
left us. How we miss the many endear
ings ways and bright smiles she gave us,
and though wc will never see her in this
life again, we know she is happy and free
from pain in the life beyond, and "safe in
the arms of Jesu3" for eternity. *

SOMETHING N2
FOR THE LAUNDRY
WHAT is it ? Well, they have adi!
ed a new system of Washing,
that is the "Pound System." This in
fairest way of washing that has ever bM
offered to the people. The prices wo Jj
to families in our "Found System" any|
can afford to pay; in fact, in our opinlfj
it is the thing we have been wautiug. Hf
are our prices : We will rough dry y;
clothes at 31c per pound. We wiij?r^
and iron or finish all plainclothesa'.'f
per lb. We will finish all starched gol
at 10c. per lb. The above prices are w$
we take family work through and thiotfj;
These are the lowest prices that havj
been offered by a Laundry. Try it a
convinced. Stop the wagon as it paB
and give us your work.
