Mr. Simpson was burning off a field near his house, and the little fellow was play? ing around there. Mr. Simpson to ' called away for a few minutes, aud in a Bhort time the screams of the child at? tracted his attention.

"Little Nugget," which may be seen in the Opera Honso to-night, was in Colum? bia Monday night, and in speaking of it the State says: "The folks at the Opera House must have been glad when the cur? tain rang down on the closing scene last night, for it was only then they had a chance to give their risibles 'a rest,' something almost longed for after being with Herbert Cawtborn and his "Little Nugget" company for a few hours. Caw? tborn is great, and when he fails to make you laugh 'all the world and the balance of mankind,' as Mr, Jefferson once ex? pressed it, might as well give it up. Noth? ing in the comedy line has visited Colum? bia this season that has created more jolli? ty or caused more laughter than the per? formance last night." Hon. John B. Benson died at his home in Hartwell, Ga., on Wednesday, 27th ult, aged 67 years. Mr. Benson was a son of Enoch B. Benson, and was born and reared at Pendleton. When the town of Hartwell was located, in 1854, he moved there, and built one of the first houses in the place. From that time until his death he was act ively engaged in merchandising, and did a successful business. He took an active interest in everything that per? tained to tbe welfare of his County and people, and had served his County in both the Seuatc and House of Representatives of Georgia. He was perhaps one of the best known men in his section of Georgia, aud was higbly esteemed by his friends and acquaintances. Truly a good man has fallen, and the people of Hartwell will never find a man who can fill his place. The Sunday Critique of Atlanta says of Dr. George T. Brown, a son of the late Dr. W. C. Brown, of Belton, who is now in Atlanta studying medicine : "In March the Southern Medical Society will hold their annual banquet in this city, and it is expected to be one of the most elegant affaire of the kind ever held here. Dr. George T. Brown, than whom there is not a more popular and deserving young gen? tleman in the State, will be toast master on that occasion, and everything will be done In elegant shape. Doctor Brown has been elected valedictorian of his class, which graduates in March. There are many talented young physicians in the class, and the distinguished honor, a highly deserved one, could not have been conferred on one more worthy. The many friends of Doctor Brown in this city are proud of his career and predict for him a place in the very highest ranks of Amer? ican physicians." Mrs. Elvira S. Wakefield, the beloved wife of Mr. James A. Wakefield, died at her home at Antrevilie, Abbeville Coun? ty, last Tuesday afternoon, at 4 o'clook.

Mrs. Wakefield was the youngest daughter of Mr. John Clinkscales, of this County, and a sister to the senior editor of the Intel? ligencer. She possessed a mo3t genial, amiable disposition, and was most highly esteemed by her friends and acquaint? ances, to whom the announcoment of her death will bring sorrow. She has long been a zealous member of First Creek Baptist Church, and her every-day life exemplified her many noblo, Christian virtues. On Wednesday her remains were interred at First Creek Church. Mrs. Wakelield leaves a grief etiicken husband and five children, besides a host of relatives, to ever cheriih her memory. Another aged and highly respeotfd citi? zen of Anderson County has been called to his eternal home. We alludo to ,the death of Mr. John B. Sltton, which oc? curred at his home in Pendleton last Sun? day night. Mr. Sitton was about 82 years years of age, and had been ill for some time from the effects of grip. In many respects the deceased was a remarkable man, and his placo in this life will be hard to fill. He was born In Greenville Coun? ty, and, his parents being poor, in his boyhood days he felt the responsibilities of life and soon started out to battle for him? self. He served his apprenticeship as a carriage maker, and in his young man? hood located at Pendletou, where he con? ducted a large phop, and did an extensive business. He was a iino workman and by a close application to business soon laid the foundation for a successful lifo. He. continued this business for a long numbei of years, and finally retired with a fortune. Mr. Sitton was a man of sound, practical judgment, and in every relation of life performed his duties well. He was strict? ly upright and honorable, and wielded a considerable influence among his friends and neighbors, all of whom esteemed him most highly. For a number of years he had been a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Sitton married a Miss Norton, of Oconee County, who died about thirty years ago. He reared a family of six sons and three daughters, all of whom survive him except one of the latter.

D., after which the remains were interred in the now Presbyterian cemetory, with Masonic hon? ors. A Card of Thanks. The family and relatives of the late Rev. J. S.

I was very glad, Mr. Editor, to notice in jour last isjue the news of the Corner from tho pen of "Philanthropy," but I must confess that while reading his (if not her) article I could not help smiling and quoting the old adage "Two heads are bet? ter than one if enc is a sheep's head;" nevertheless I greatly sympathize with him and cordially extend to him the right hand of fellowship, but as ho seems to have forgotten to mention a few items In bis article, I willJ^riow^pTol^ed^o give them to your many readers. Madam Rumor can't be fooled every time, for of tho half-dozen Cornerites that she said would "jump the boom" this winter, four of them have already done so, and the other two don't seom to have entirely lost hopes yet. The Madam still afllrms that thoy are to secure life part? ners ere Spring shall have thrown her beautiful mantle over the land. Messrs. W. 0. Wilson and W. F. C. Owen have each moved to their farms east of I'endleton, which necessitates a change of their postofllces from Pendleton to Hickory Flat. Correspondents and par? ties wishing to write them will note this change and address them at Hickory Flat, instead of Pendleton. Col. D. K. Norrls starts to Columbia Tuesday morning. He goes on business, and will be gone a few days. Mrs. J. R. Owen has secured tho services of Mr. Elijah Watson for the year to as3lst ber in attending to her business. We welcome you among us, friend Elijah. Mr. H. S. Trescot is the champion vege? table grower of the Corner. He plants the seeds of W. H. Maule, of Philadelphia, and last year secured the 850 prize offered by Mr. Maule for tho best radishes grown from his seed. Mr. Trescot speaks very highly of Mr. Maule as being an honest, Bquare dealing seedsman, and says that his seeds are among the best he has ever planted. There is in the Corner a certain ex bachelor, but now a newly married man, who was overheard some time since court? ing his best girl. The report is that he said to hor pleadingly and as if tears were in his eyes: "Do you really love me well enough to have me?" and after some hes? itation his darling answered slowly and sweetly "y-e-s." And sure enough she did, for now the ex-bachelor dances around at her command, glories in the magnetism of her beautiful black eyes and calls her "my wife." Misa Blassimgame's school at Btshop's Branch is doing splendidly. The pupils and patrons speak very highly of her as being a teacher of ability, and since the wet weather has subsided and the grippe has somewhat relaxed, her school has in? creased in number. Miss Emma Hammond, a charming young lady of Anderson, is visiting the family of Mr. S. Lee Owen. Well, Mr. Editor, as I now have an as? sistant in sending you the happenings of the Corner, and thinking ho will want to tell something, I will close and shall ex? pect him to give you a contribution before I write again. Alter Eoo. Fair/deal Echoes. Well, Mr. Editor, if it is agreeable to your honor I will drop in for a short chat, hoping that I may not bore yon or any of the many intelligent readers of your valu? able paper. The weather, I believe, is the first topic of conversation ; if not, please excuse me, for I am not yet wholly initia? ted in the art of newspaper correspon? dence. As I was going to say, we havo had a beautiful spell of weather for the time of year, which the farmers have been making good use of. All are about done sowing spring oats, of which there has been a full crop put in. There also much land already broken for tho cr 'ng crop, of which we think ther6 nl be from one-third to one-half less (->tton planted than was last year. The health of this community is getting better than it has been for some time past. We are glad to state that Mr. G. R Cox and wife, both of whom have been seri? ously ill with the grippe, are now conva? lescent. Mr. Silas Kay, who has also been prostrated with the same disease, Is improving. We know that we echo the sentiment of every citizen of Fairdeal when we say that it is with sorrow and regret that we part with the familiar figure of Mr. Jas? per Landress, whose corpulent form so often graced the interior of our humble cabin. Mr. Landress has gone to reside with cucle Joshua Holland, several miles below here. Why don't some one in Fairdeal try raising pigs for the market? I think it would prove a profitable investment. There is hardly a family to my knowledge who would not l -y one or more pigs, and can't hear of one for sale in five miles square. Mr. Abnor Johnson and his most esti? mable lady, from the Kingdom, spent last Saturday night with relatives iu Fairdeal. Miss Delia Brown is teaching tho young "idea how to shoot" at Bow land Green Academy this term, and 5s hnviug quite a flourishing school. Prof.fJM. N.

Mrs. Higgie Scott was buried at White field Church on Tuesday, the 2nd inst., after appropriate funoral services con? ducted by the Rev. G. M. Rogers. Hor death occurred at Anderson last Sunday. Mrs. Scott loft a husband and three small children to mourn her death. By tho way, as this is leap year we are anxiously awaiting developments. Owing to the extreme modesty of our disposi? tion, we havo ncvor taken much stock in the matrimonial market, but now the ladies will come to tho front, and of course it will bo impossible to remain sin? gle much longer. Am really surprised that I have had no calls as yet. Will now try the virtue of printer's ink and give a j description of myself: am ovor sixteen, but under sixty years of ago ; as to intclli- j gonce, when you read this epistle you will know I am that itsolf, and my name is Echo. N. B.?Girls intending to come to sea the undersigned must be there before 12 p. in., as I shall wait no longer, but will then retire. Echo. P. S.?Better call early, so as to avoid tho rush. Eouo. Grange Hull Dots. As this is my first time to write to the Intelligencer, Mr. Editor, I hope it won't find its way to the waste basket. Mr. Editor, have you had that thing you call tho "grab ?" It certainly has "grabbed" several around hero and shook them very bad. We are having somo vory fine weather now, and I hope it will continuo awhile. Our friend, Mr. J. A. Stevenaon, is ahead of any ono in this neighborhood, as he is done breaking up and ready to go to putting in guano. Mr. Tom. King had a valuablo cow to die a few days ago.

A3 you have not hoard from this section this 3"C.ir, Mr. Editor, I will try to tell your many readers of a few of the happen? ings. Tho weather is delightful at this time, and our peoplo, with tho exception of the grip, are enjoying good health, Mr. Joe Hilhouse has moved his saw mill to Mr. Tom. Shearer's plantation, where he will ho kept busy for soveral days. Our friends and neighbors should not forget that a prayor meeting is hold at New Hope every Saturday night. Every? body will be cordially welcomed at this meoting. Right hero wo desire to extend an invitation to the men, both old and young, to come to the Church next Fri? day and Saturday and assist in putting up the ceiling. We should not let Messrs. J. T. Busby and Abraua Bolt do all this work nod conduct the prayer meeting, too. Two of our young men visited their best girls recently, and both rode the same mule. That is right, boys; do most any way before going into debt for a buggy or cart. Wo had a very inferosling talk recently with one of the oldest citizens of this County, Mr. Ezekiel Elrod. In his younger days he was an oxperl rifle shot, and still keeps hi3 old rifle, which he bus named "Friday." ? Mr. Elrod is now eighty-two years old, and can handle his axo well. Mr. J. D. Hewin is moving into this section. We extend him a cordial wel? come. Mr. H. IL Crawford, of Franklin Coun? ty, Ga., has boeu visiting relatives and friends in this section. Zioety. Alice Dots. Well, the marrying fever seems to be over for awhile, and everybody is making preparations for another crop. We hope the farmers will have better success than they had last year. Mr. Jim. Haynie, of the Flat Rock sec? tion, visited our neighborhood last week, and his horse broke loose and he had to tramp homo. Don't stay quite so late and hitch better next timo, Jim. Please tell the girls, Mr. Waco, in the Fork that friend Burt's mustache will be in full bloom in April and that he will be up in May. Some of our girls seem to be in love with Uncle Billy Little. Look out, Uncle Billy ; it is leap year, you know. Mr. and Mrs. W. P. McMahan, of Bel ton, visited this section last week. The school at Rocky River will open next Monday, in charge of Miss Minnie Cowan. What are the farmers going to do ? The merchants say they will not do any credit business before March, and the Banks will not loan any money until after that time. It is a serious question. There is only one remedy for the farmer, and that is to produce his own corn, wheat, oats, peas, potatoes, molasses, meat, etc., and at the same time practice Btrict economy. We buy too many buggies and horses, chew too much tobacco and drink too much whiskey. If we will only try, we can soon become the most independent and happiest people on the globe. John. Oakland Dots. I desire, Mr. Editor, to write a few lines to let the people know that we are all alive in this vicinity. Our school is in a thriving condition. The grippe hasn't struck some of us as yet. Farmers, sow your oats if you can, and be sure and plant corn enough to do, so that you can raise your own meat and live at home. We are sorry to note the illness of one of our oldest and most highly respected citizens, Mr. Mitchel Milford. Wo hope he may soon recover. Some of our boys haye some attraction over the way. One of them went off Sat? urday night, got lo3t and come back through the fields Sunday morning. I wonder if tho Alice man and tho man that lost his hat and heart are not the same man? I was present at tho time. I un-' derstand that he bitches his horse three times a week and once on Sunday at "Red Hills." Mr. S. T. McAdama was- down Sunday from tho Fork visiting his brother, W. R. McAdams, Jr. Bazaar. Cedar Grove. We are having tomo fine weather for sowing oats, and our farmers are making good use of it. Mr. Lawrenco Noland had a fine cow stolen last week. The thief drove the cow to Greenville. Mr. Noland followed close behind and secured both the thief and cow. One of our good ladies had all of her chickens stolen a few nights ago. The samo week Mr. E. Brown heard somebody in his chicken roost. Ho went to the door and the thief told him to stay in the house if ho wanted to save himself.
