Jas. H. Skeiton, Esq., of Hartwell, Ga., spent a day in the city last week and gave the Intellige5cer a peep at his hand? some, genial face. Jim. is one of Hart well's most prominent young lawyers, and is rapidly climbing in his profession. Messrs. F. T. Wilhite and Louis Sharpe went to Charleston last Monaay to attend the annual session of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons. Mr. Wilhite is an officer of the Chapter, and Mr. Sharpe ia tbe delegate from Burning Bush Chapter, of this city. A Georgia exchange says that, expres? sive of a tight money market, it was once the thing to say that a silver dollar looked as big as a cart wheel, but now it appears to be about the size of a bed quilt, and be? fore tbe summer is over, it will rival the dimensions of a ten-acre patch. - Last week we announced the death of Mr. W. A. Kay, an estimable citizen of the Hocea Path section, and now it is our sad duty to announce the death of his widow, Mrs. Louisa Kay, which occurred last Sunday morning, after a short "In ess.

Editor Magill, of the Hartwell Sun, has been suffering with a lame eye, and has been forced to visit Atlanta and consult that celebrated occulist, Dr. Calhouo.

Mr. Smith is now one of the oldest citizens of his section, being in the 80th year of his age, and be holds bis own remarkably weih We nope be will be blessed with many more years of health and happiness. An exchange says the coins of the new issue are going to prove a lot of trouble to everybody. The 25 cent pieces look ex? actly like a $10 gold piece except.as to color, and the nickles do not have on them the word "cents," as at present Already sharpers are gilding the 25-cent and 5 cent pieces and passing them for $10 and $5 in gold respectively. Look out for them. Our venerable friend, Capt. M. B. Wil? liams, of Piercetown, spent last Thursday in the city, and it gave us pleas a re to meet him.

The Colombia Board of Trade has Issued a circular asking every city, town and hamlet in the State to send delegates to a Convention to be held In that city on March 10th and 11th, for the purpose of : setting upon some definite plan to have a display at the World's Fair. We hope Anderen will be represented in this Con? vention, and suggest that the Board of Trade appoint a delegation. ? ?. Our clever friend, John P. Clardy, Esq., of the Piedmont section, was among our visitors last Monday. He reported things quiet in his section, and said the farmers were sowing more grain than usual, and wonld plant less cotton. Mr. Clardy la a successful farmer, and attributes his suc? cess to the fact that he has always made his bread and meat at home and planted cotton as a surplus crop. The cry of hard times don't seriously affect such men. Mr. T. W. Davenport, a son of Mr. H. B. Davenport, of this County, is now a cit- j izen of Lowell, Mass., and keeps posted in j Views from his old home by reading the I^telligewcer. Mr. Davenport is an expert machinist, and has a good position in oTStfof the big manufacturing plants of his adopted city.

The Company has been before the public, for four yearn, and have during that time gained an enviable reputation. Tbie cos? tumes are said to be elegant and the stage appointments splendid. Popular prices of admission. Tickets on sale at Hill Bros. A few days ago a negro named Chailef Moorhead, a son of Moorhead, whd lives near this city, met with a fatal acci? dent in Atlanta, Ga. He was working on a window ledge on the ninth Btory of tho big hew bniiding which is being erected in that city by the Equitable Insurance Company, when bis attention was attract? ed by something on the crowded street be? low. He made a misstep and was hurled to instant death upon the stone pavement. 200 feet below. His remains were brought to Anderson and buried. Two aged brothbrs of the upper edge of Williamston Township have recently been called to their eternal home. We refer to the deaths of Messrs N. S. and Joe A. Clardy. The latter died on Wednesday, January 13th, and on Monday following the former quietly passed away. Both lived within a few miles of each other, and were born and reared and had always resided in that section. Mr. Joe A. Clardy was 75 years of age. He was sick only a few days, having been stricken down with paralysis, followed by pneumonia. A widow, three sons and two daughters survive him. Mr. N. S. Clardy was in the 81st year of his age, and was sick only a few days witb the grip. He had been blind for twenty years, and had long been a consistent member of the Baptist Church. He leaves one son aud seven daughters to cherish his memory, his de? voted wife having long ago preceded them to the grave. Both these gentlemen were highly esteemed by their friends aud neighbors, and leave behind them a good record. The Rev. Irl E. Hicks has this to say of the weather during the month of Febru? ary : "From 3rd to 5th inclusive will con? stitute the first storm period for February. Rain, some lightning, and thunder south? ward, with snow northward. Don't be unprepared for cold following. Dates touching the 9.h will bring warmer weath? er, with storms central on that date. Plan for such results and for regular cold to follow. Storm conditions will return on the 14th, 15th and lGth, bringing rain or snow ou or touching these dates. The cold wave following storms will expand itself and reactionary storms will appear about the 20th. The 2Gth, 27tb, 28th are regular storm dates, sure to be heard from and to bring a cold ending to the month. Much hard, trying weather in February. Pre? pare for it." Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Andrew have the sympathies of all their friends and ac quaintances in the death of their eldest daughter, Pauline, which occurred at their home on South Main Street, last Monday about 11 o'clock a. m. She had been sick only a few days, but her parents did not consider her seriously ill. On Monday she seemed to be much better, but sudden? ly took a turn for the worse, and in a very short time death had claimed her as its victim. Of course, it was a terrible shock to the devotod parents, who, bow ever, have the consolation of knowing tbat their little daughter is now at rest with the angels in Heaven. Pauline was not quite 12 years of age, and was an exceedingly bright little girl, with a sweet, lovely dis? position. On Tuesday morning tbe re mains were laid away in the Presbyterian cemetery, after appropriate funeral servi? ces conducted by Rev. C. B. Smith in the Methodist Church. The Elberton (Ga.) Star, of last week, says: "More than one hundred years ago, three brothers and a sister by tbe name of Edwards, came from England to the North American colonies. One of them, Robert Edwards, bought and owned considerable land, where is now located the city of New York. Then he leased for 99 years this properly, made his will and returned to England. By tbe torms of his will this land at the end of tbe lease was devised to his two brothers William and Thomas Edwards, and his sister Frances, who married a Wickliffe, and their heirs. The lease expired last year, and the descen? dants, who are now scattered over tbe United States, are claiming the estate. The terms of tbe lease were recorded in New York State, and the records on wbich the lease should appear have been de? stroyed. Lately it has been discovered that the lease was also recorded in Eng? land. Tbe,heirs have formed an Associa? tion, known as "The Edwards Heirs As? sociation," with, headquarters at Louis? ville, Ky., and they are pushing the claim in every way possible. Several of the heirs live in and around Elberton. Mrs. Wickliffe, and her children, are in the direct line of descendants, Mrs. Wickliffe being the niece of Mr. Robert Edwards. If the property should be recovered Misses Mamie-, Lois, Alma and Mr. E. W. Wickliffe would come in for several million dollars each-" Mrs. Wickliffe and family were formerly residents of Anderson County, and their friends and relatives here will join us in wishing them success in establishing their claim. The Court of General session?. This Court met Monday morning at 10.30 o'clock. Judge J. H. Hudson, of the Fourth Circuit, is presiding. Solici? tor Ansel, Stenographer Aiken, Clerk Tribble and Sheriff Bolt aro at their posts of duty. The lawyers and jurors are present?the former working faithfully for their clients, the latter passing be? tween their fellow-men and the State of South Carolina. The Grand Jury was organized with Mr. George W. Sullivan, of Williamston, as foreman. Judge Hudson's charge to this body was marked by the character? istic vigor of this able jurist. He de? fined clearly their duty, and his remarks were interesting to all hearers. The Judge deplored the fact that so much valuable time is consumed in hear? ing cases of a mild character. He advo? cated the establishment of a system of County Courts. He thought the Probate Judze might be given jurisdiction over many cases now carried before the Circuit Judge. By such a system the costs of Court would be diminished and justice be less tardy. By tho present system an innocent man may be imprisoned in tbe jail four months before he can be given an opportunity to vindicate himself. These suggestions were generally ap? proved by those present. In tbe charge the attention of the Grand Jury was directed to the County's need of a new Court House. All the Counties in this Circuit, said the Judge, had better Court Houses than Anderson. This is the "Banner County" of the State, yet Pickens aud Oconeo, her near neighbors, each have a better Court House than pro? gressive Anderson. He urged tho build? ing of a house in keeping with the busi? ness of the County, and which would be adequate witb and suitable for tho pur? poses for which it was intended. A great many bills were placed in the Judge's hands, and after instructing tho Grand Jury as to their duty in disposing ol these bills, ho sent them to tho fore? man, who, with his co-laborers, retired for their consideration. That tho public may form some idea of the work that will demaud the attention of this Court, we giye a list of tho bills handed to the Grand Jury on Monday: Murdor 1, adultery 1, gambling 1, highway robbery and larcen/ 1, obtaining money under false pretences 1, carrying concealed weapons 3, assault and battery with in? tent to kill 3, resisting an officer 1, houso breaking and compound laceny 2, as? sault witb intent to ravish 1, arson 1, graud larceny 1, assault and battory of a high aud aggravated nature 2. The case against J. A. Morritt and Jas. Phillips was nol prossed. A sealed sentence had been left by a preceding Court for Anna Parks, chargod with assault and battery of a high and aggravated naturo. Anna being present, the sentence was read, which sends her to tbe penitentiary for six months at hard labor. Alonzo Newell was tried for house breaking and compound larmiy. He was found guilty and sentenced to a term of one year in the penitentiary at hard labor. Tho case of the Stato vs. Elbert Sizc moro for abducting a maid child was con? tinued. Lern. Williams, James Jones, Earlo Teasel and Henry Galloway plead guilty to tho charge of gambling, and each lined ?5.00, and sentenced to imprisonment iu the penitentiary at hard labor for three months. "No l?ill" was returned iu tho case of Lern Williams, James Jones and Earle Teasel, charged with highway robbery and larceny. The caso against E. H. Simmons, as? sault and battery of a high and aggrava? ted naturo, was nol. prossed. The caso against W. H. Jordan, J. M. Smith and William Sloan wero nob prossed ou their paying tho costs. Nathan McFarlaud was tried on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill and carrying concealed weapons. Ho was acquitted of the first charge, but was convicted of the hitler. His sentenoo was $25.00 and costs, or three months in the penitontiar}*. Henry Kurd entered n ploa of guilty to the charge of resisting an officer. Ilia sentence was ?25.00 and costs, or two months at hard labor in the penitentiary. James Jones, canning a concealed weapon, $20.00, or two months at hard labor in the penitential}*, to begin imme? diately on expiration of scntenco for gambling. On Tuesday morning Newton Parker plead guilty to carrying a concealed weapon, and was sentenced to nay a lino of ?30.00, or bo imprisoned at hard labor for threo months. Andrew Fisher was tried for obtaining money under false prclences. The jury acquitted him. Xcal "Walker was found guilty of an assault of a high and aggravated nature, and was sentenced to pay a fine of $10.00, or be confined in the County jail for thir? ty days. A true bill was found against James and Julia Haddon for murder. No bill was found against Sandy Hum? phreys, charged with carrying a conceal? ed weapon. Amos Gibson was convicted of larceny of live stock, and sentenced to hard labor in the penitentiary for two years, and pay a fine of one dollar. Leah Brown plead guilty to receiving stolen goods, and was sentenced to im? prisonment in the County jail for twenty days. Tho cases against H. Reid Morrison for arson and grand larceny were continued by the Defendant. S. W. Burgess and Mary Jane Tims, charged with adultery, had their case continued. At noon on "Wednesday the Grand Jury had not made their report. At this writ? ing the Court is going into the case of James and Julia Haddon, charged with murdor. The Court of Sessions will likely ad? journ on Thursday. Newell Dots. We are having some fine weather now which the farmers are makinggooduse of. I never knew people to sow as many oats as they are this year In all my life. Al? though I am not very old, but older men tell me that tho farmers are getting a par? ticular move on themselves in the oat bu? siness. I have an idea that we are a little too slow in preparing for our cotton crop. We should not forget that we will be ob? liged to make a little cotton, and to make that cotton we will have to have a little guano, and to get that guano in time we will have to be a little faster. So let us get a little move on us in the cotton busi? ness before it gels too late. If cotton was to happen to go up to 10 cents a pound, and all the land in South Carolina sowed down in oats, it would be a slam on dumb brutes and sheep. We should try to make more oorn this year than ever, so we can raise our own meat. If things don't change about considerably a man that don't raise bis corn and meat at home, will have to get about right sharply to live at home and board at the same place next year. Heretofore the most of us have planted cotton in our fields and corn in the little patches. It seems that we will have to make a little cotton, so it will just suit to reverse the thing: plant corn in the fields and cotton in the little patches, and to get a little extra money plant ??gubers" in the garden. A.nd if you think it would be best to mix in a little cabbage now and then yon can find Bun? combe seed from North Carolina war? ranted fresh and genuine at Wigington's "Variety Store," Newell, S. C. Ia these days of the enlightened nine? teenth century, the boys surely don't half tie their horses when they go a i mrting, or the mules and horses have to be terrible mean, one. ltisnothir- ..com? mon to see a young man walk.u?; about over the settlement with a bridle on his shoulder hunting his horse. I heard of one mule that broke loose so often that the young man quit trying to hitch him at all, and just simply had to sit in the window and hold him. I have been informed that the wood on some land near this place sold for fifteen dollars per acre. Does that look like "hard times?" Mr. J, M Bryant wears a broad smile. It's a boy. Mr. W. J. Laboon lost a fine cow by death a few days ago. We are glad to know that Mr. Elihu j Wigington, who has been very low for the last two or three weeks, is somo better. We join his many friends throughout the entire community in wishing him a speedy recovery. The Mountain Spring school, under the management of Prof. D. Edward King, is in a fiourishin. condition. It seems like ..he girls have all forgotten this is leap year. Girls, don't be behind the times; get a m?, re on you. As the points of this hateful pen have commenced trying to swap sides I will be compelled to close. Wishing all that have sowed oats success in the businses, I remain as over, Ned Needle. Townville Locals. A man who pays for his paper can read it with a much easier conscience. I know it by experience. The house of Martha Regular, on Mrs. H. T. Brown's place, was burned a few days ago. There were three negro chil? dren burned to deatb. The children were two, five and eight years old. We had a mad dog in town Tuesday morning. It bit a cow of Mr. Townes Holleman, Tho dog was a bird dog, and belonged to the Brown boys. Tho citi? zens killed the dog. Miss Hattie Lee, of Atlanta, Ga., is vis? iting Miss Delia Wright, of this place. We have preaching on the iirstand third Sundays at the Baptist Church, aud the second and fourth at the Presbyterian Church. Rev. J. R. Eaile supplies the Baptist, and Rev. T. C. Ligon tho Presby? terian. We ought to be better folks than we uro. Now, Mr. Editor, when you take up & collection in Church be sure to save the buttons and send the money to the heathen. Mr. C. Wardlaw, our clever and ener? getic School Commissioner, visited Prof. Faut's school la9t Thursday. He was very much gratified with the progress of Prof. Fant's students. All of the old set of Fauts were good teacher!', and I sapposc the gift is handed down from father to son Mr. L. O. Bruce, near this place, is very low with the.grippe. The grippe has not missed many fami? lies in this section, but there have been no fatal cases as yet. We like the Intkllioenckr bettor than any country paprr we know of. Surely, Mr. Editor, your delinquents won't want so much for nothing. Old Rosin De Bow. Little Creclc Items. As this is my first time to write to tho Iktelligexceu, Mr. Editor, I hope it will not find its way to the waste basket. The matrimonial fever ia about over in this section, but I think there will bo one more wedding. Friend Jim visits the oth? er side of the Creek often. I don't wish him any harm, but hope the bridgo will wash away. The fair weather was appreciated by our farmers, who made good use of it. Mr. 3. N. Brown is kept very busy sawing shingles for new buildings. The Sunday School at Prospect is pros? pering aud doing a good work. I don't at? tend regularly, but I study my lessons every week. Pet. The In'Jutttrlal School. Mr, Editor: Anderson is now without arivul for the Industrial School audit is now within easy reach by taking action to secure it. But our leading citizens appear so indifferent in regard to it, wo may lose it after all. It would be an easy matter for the City authorities to call a meeting and get the sense of the community in re? gard to it. It is a good opportunity to put our lax money where it will do good. Taxpayer Cedar Grove Items. Well, Mr. Elitor, as some of your read? ers seem to bo pleased to hear from "Shakerag," I will give the rag a shake again. Married, ou Thursday, the 4th inst., at tbe residence of the officiating minister, Rev. G. M. Roarers, Mr. Andrew Johnson and Miss Annie Crawford, both of Belton Township. We wish them much joy. Mr. Asa Mahaffey, of Williaroston, has been visiting rolatives in this section. We must give Mr. J. J. Copeland the praise Of having the nicest garden work started we have seen this year. Mr. Copeland is another one of our best farm? ers. Miss Ida and Mr. OUie Copeland were visiting relatives in Wiiliamston lost Sun? day. One of Mr. G. T. Thompson's fine cows died not long ago. Well, I believe tho "grab" has about made friends with the most of our people. There are a few cases yet iu this section. There has been something in this com? munity disturbing the people for several months past. It would go to the bouses and scratch around in the yards. It was thought that it was a wild varmint of some kind, and some of our neighbors would run and jump in the bed and cover up their head when they would hear it. One of our friends started out to feed one morning before day, and the varmint made for him and he ran back into the house, got down his double-barrel shot gun and shot the varmint, which com? menced to whe ! whe! wha! wha! He had shot ono of our old colored friend's hogs. Owing to the inclemency of the weather there was not a very large attendance at our Sunday School last Sunday. We notice there is still some cotton in tbe field. I think it would be the best to pick it out and start a new crop. Wo are glad to say our Sunday School and prayer meeting are still alive. We hope that as the weather grows warmer the people will attend more regularly. Mr. Hughes has moved from this section to Laurens County. Mrs. Dura Bolt's chickens seem to have a very severe attack of the la grippe. Shakerag. Aadersonvllle Items, The farmers have been making good nse of the line weather. The majority are done sowing oats, and are driving early and late preparing the land for another crop. We think the acreage of cotton will be cut down to some extent this year, and more attention given to raising their home supplies. All the victims of the grippe are on the mend in this vicinity except Mr. Barney Landers, an old gentleman, who is very low. We wish for him a speedy recovery Messrs. J. H. Price and R. A. Sullivan are repairing the bridge at this place. We venture to say it will be done up in style, as they are no half-way men. Messrs. Dobbins & Gantt have moved their saw mill to Mr. S. T. McAdams', where they will be kept busy for some time. Mr. Mc. will build himself a band some residence in the near future. Miss Nettie Hlgenbotbam, an accom? plished young lady of Georgia, has re? turned to her home, after spending sev? er *1 weeks with relatives io this section. We believe she has taken a certain young man's heart with her, as he is going about looking for something. Mr. B. F. Wright has a very sick baby, and, at this writing, is very little better. Rev. F.
