The Society editor of the Augusta Chron? icle says: "All the pretty girls are saving their love letters diligently sow in hopes to accumulate enough to paper their bed? rooms. It is really quite the latest and most approved form of wall decoration. They make the dado of the envelopes, and the general decoration of the letter sheets. Young mon will please write only on one aide the letter page after this, as it goes farther, and use very black Ink, as the effect is more artistic." On Tuesday afternoon, at 3.30 o'clock, Dr. Bovt .Mitchell; of Westminster, S. C, and Miss Ida Bowley, of this city, were married at the residence of the bride's mother, on McDufhe Street.

The stockholders lost all their paid up capital." i ' " i ? The Greenville Enterprise and Moun? taineer, of last week, say a: "Laarens bus declined to compete for the Industrial Col? lege on the ground that the people were unwilling to tax themselves to obtain it. Anderson-is the only strong applicant for the institution now. It is said that the city of Anderson will .subscribe$100,000 for its location within the corporate lim? its, and this ought to secure the college. Wealthy, intelligent and progressive peo? ple, with scarcely any public debt, An? derson can better, afford than others to tax its property in order to secure this school, which will confer great benefits upon the community where it'is located." Mrs. E. M. Acker,, wife of Mr. E. H. Acker, died at the Greenville Hotel, in Greenville, 8. C, on Thursday night, 11th inst. She had long been a sufferer from that terrible disease, dropsy, and was ander treatment in Greenville at the time of hor death. She was the youngest daughter of Israel Charles, and a si:fer of J. D. Charles, Treasurer of Reedy River Manufacturing Company. She leaves four sisters,-Mrs. Dr. Woodsides, Mrs. C. E. Acker, Mrs. J. S. McGee and Mrs. A. E. Johnson, besides a husband and eleven children to mourn her death. A good wife, a devoted mother and a Christian Woman has been called to her long home. A difficulty of a very serious.nature took place in the city on Tuesday morning. As the result, six young men are bound over to appear before the Mayor on Friday next.' The facts in the case are a little vague, but it seems that J. N. Rhodes, a son of J. B.Rhodes, B. 0. Rhodes, J. M. D. Rhodes and M. N. Rhodes became in? volved in a difficulty with F. E. Jennings and J. F. Roflgers, near the railroad cut, in the rear of McCaily & Cathcart's store. During tho difficulty F. E. Jennings drew his pistol and fired three shots, one of which took effect in the left forearm of M. N. Rhodes, making only a flesh wound, another struck a silver dime in the vest pocket of J. M. D- Rhodes, which it bent nearly half double, and the other ball missed its mark. The police were attracted to the scene by the noise and arrested all the participants. The parties live near Pelzer. The Greenville News, of Tuesday, says: "John Henry, colored, was killed Satur? day afternoon on the place of Samuel Wilson, near the line of Anderson and Pickens Counties, by J. C. McKinney, a white man. Henry had had a row with another negro and knocked the negro in the head with a piece of iron, dangerously injuring him. He went to the place of Mr. Wilson, saying that be had killed one negro and intended to kill another. Mr. Wilson enquired of the trouble Henry had had, but Henry became offensive and finally struck Mr. Wilson with a chair post. Mr. McKinney bad started hut.ting and was standing close by. He told Henry not to strike Mr. Wilson again. Henry turned on Mr. McKinney with the chair post, bat was shot dead before he could strike with it. An inquest was held Sunday and the jury returned a ver? dict of self defence." * Mr. J. Carlisle Vandiver died at the home of his brother-in-law, Mr. J. P. Bailey, in Yarennes Township, last Fri? day morning, aged 39 years. He had been ill about seven weeks with typhoid fever, and up to the time he was stricken down was a fine, robust young man. His death, therefore, was a great surprise to many of his frisnds. Mr. Yandiver was the second sonofMTB. Frances Vandiver, of Hope well Township. He recently returned to this his native County from Texas, where, just one year ago, he buried his wife. He was a worthy, upright man, and, while he was not a member of any Church, he was prepared for the summons of death. Mr. Vandiver leaves six little children, ranging in age from 2 to 12 years. Hie remains were interred at Midway Church ?on Saturday, Rev. Dr. Frierson conduct? ing the funeral services in the presence of a large uoncourso of friends and relatives. Mr. J. W. Simpson, one of the live, en? ergetic farmers of the Pendleton section gave the Intelligencer a pleasant call last Saturday. He has just recovered ? from a severe attack of the grip, which has been very prevalent in his neighbor? hood. He says the farmers generally have sown big crops of small grain, but is fearful that the severe freezes of last week have Qamaged the oats to a considerable ex ten-.. Mr. 8impson is a man who doe* his own thinking, and has always prac? ticed and preached the doctrine of making his own supplies and growing cotton as a surplus crop. Last year, with four mules, he made, in addition to (?ood crops of small grain, forage, etc., about 1,500 busbols of com and 65 bales of cotten, 22 bales of which were the Allen Long Staple, which he sold at his gin house for 9} cents per pound, He says he ha3 a lot of seed of this variety which he will sell to his neigh? bors, and we would advise them to give it a trial. It always gives us pleasure to meet and converse with such a farmer as Mr. Simpson. He started this life without a dollar, but by his good management and judgment has accumulated a good prop? erty. Another example that farming does pay. A happy marriage took place in the Baptist Church at Bel ton on Wednesday morning, 10th inst., at 10 o'clock, the con? tracting parties being Mr. William J. Moorhead, formerly of Belton, but now of Darlington, and Miss Nannie L. Cox, youngest daughter of Maj. G. W. Cox, of Belton. The ceremony was performed by Dr. Charles Manly, of Greenville, in the presence of many friends and acquaint snce3 of the young couplo. The attend? ants were: Judge W. F. Cox, of Ander? son, and Miss Eva Stringer; W- A. Clem? ent and Miss Georgia McDavid; J. D. Campbell, ot Spartanburg, and Miss Mol lie Geer; D. A. Geer and Miss Rosa Pcore; L. A, Brock, of Honea Path, and Miss Anna Clinkscales; E. T. Breazeale and Miss Lncy Gambrell. The ushers wore Beattie G?ssett, of Anderson, and John Brock, of Honea Path. During the entry of the wedding party Mies Zula Brock, of Honea Path, rendered a beauti? ful wedding march. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Moorhead left for Darlington, where the former is merchandising. The parties to this happy affair are very well and favorably known, and the Iktellkhsnoer joins their many friends in extending congratulations. The groom is a young man of splendid traits of charaoter, and very popular with all who know him. The bride is one of Belton's fairest and most lovable young ladies, and possesses all the rare attract? iveness which beauty, modesty and intel? lect can command. The Court of Common Fleas. The Court of Common Pleas for the County of Anderson was convened on Monday last at 10 o'clock a. m. The Court of General Sessions was ad? journed sine die on Wednesday of last week, the last case tried being that of James and Julia Hadu n, charged with murder. The Jury acquitted Julia Had don, but could not agree as to James. We are informed that the Jury stood 11 to 1 in favor of conviction. James will be triecbagain at the next Court When the Common Pleas was called Juries Nos. 1 and 2 were formed, with John P. Ledbetter as Foreman of No. 1, and John J. Cooley as Foreman of No. 2. In the case of Caroline E. Maret and others vs. J. H. Pullen and others, com? plaint to recover possession of real estate, Jury No. 1 found a verdict in favor of Do fen dauts. A case that has attracted considerable interest was that of E. W. Brown & Sons vs. R. P. Clinkscales, complaint on note. Jury No. 2 heard this case, and failed to agree after having been ?.n consultation several hours. Mr. Clinkscales gave his note for a high grade fertilizer, which ho claims did not come up to the warranty. Dr. Hardin, of Clemson College, expert Chemist, was called In to pass judgment in the matter, and after hearing the evi? dence and the arguments and the Judge's exposition of'the law the Jury could not come to think as one man on the matter. At this writing the case of Frances Crawford by Robt. C. Crawford, her Guar? dian ad Utem, vs. David H. McAllister, complaint fcr damages, is being heard. ][u"MemoiIatn. On last Thursday morning the mem? bers of the Anderson Bar assembled in the Court House to do honor to the mem? ory of the late Rev. J. S. Murray, who was so long a member of this Bar. Im? mediately after the Court was convened the resolutions below printed were read, after which loving eulogies were pro? nounced by the most of those present. The occasion furnished a beaatiful tribute to the memory of the departed dead and spoke eloquently of the esteem in which Mr. Murray was held by his associates. The resolutions were as follows: On Monday, January 25th, 1892, at his home in the city of Anderson, at the ripe age of nearly three score and ten, the Hon. John Scott Murray, suddenly, yet not unexpectedly, passed from the active scenes of this life, and rose to that higher life for which he was prepared, where he rests forever freed'from the petty cares and vexations that men are often called upon to endure here upon earth. For the period of forty-two years, the best of his life, he had been identified with the high? est interests of Anderson and the State of his adoption, in her social, political, mor? al, educational and religious life, living through the most stormy period of the history of our country and passing through scones of life that make a nation's history, in many of which he bore an ac? tive part. His was not the nature or char? acter to sit idle in times of action. As a man of learning, with strong convictions of right and wrong, whether on the ros? trum or on tho hustings or at the bar or in the pulpit, his voice gave forth no un? certain sound. Gifted by nature with a fine physique and with a countenance illuminated with intelligence, refinement and learning, Judge Murray would have passed in any assembly us a man of mark and distinc? tion. As a lawyer he was painstaking and sought for tho highest excellenco in thoroughness, and therefore seemed to be an untiring worker. As a reasoner he was quick in analysis, clear and strong in logical argument, all of which were natu? ral qualities of a well-trained mind, stor? ed with information which was at his command as occasion required. Courte? ous in all his dealings with his brother members of the bar, and kind and con? siderate of tho younger members, he never forgot that ho was a gentleman and as such treated his fellow-men on all oc? casions. Until within the last two years, the latter part of.December, 1S89, Judge Murray had been one of the leading members of this bar for nearly a quarter of a century, and during that timo the purity and unselfishness of his life, rest? ing as it was upon his faith and belief in the atonemont of the Saviour, is a com? plete answer of the question, "Can a lawyer be a Christian?" We shall miss Judge Murray, and, feel? ing it to be proper that wo should bear to future generations some testimonial of his worth and high character as a man, lawyer and Christian gentleman, there? fore be it "BeBOlved, By the Anderson Bar Asso elation, That in the death of Hon. J. S. Murray the State has lost a true and de? voted son, the Bar an ornament, and An? derson one of her -best and purest citi? zens, whose integrity of character is worthy of tho imitation of tho rising gen? eration. Besolved, That we chorish the memory of our departed friend and as a token of our respect for his eminent worth and high character as a lawyer and member of this bar, respectfully request his Hon? or, the Presiding Judge, at the approach? ing term of the Court of Common Pleas to adjourn said Court for one day out of respect for his memory, and that a copy of this preamblo and resolutions be spread upon tno minutes of the Court. Unanimously adopted at a meeting of the Bar Association, January 28th, 1892. Those resolutions were seconded by tho members of the Bar, and appropriate and tender remarks were mado by Judge Hudson and Messrs. A. T. Broyles, B. F. Whitner, J. N. Brown, J. E. Breazeale, R. W. Simpson, G. E. Priuco, J. L. Tribble, J. W. Quattlebaum, E. W. Long and J. C. C. Fcatherstonc. His Honor, J. H. Hudson, Presiding Judge, then ordered the resolutions to be spread upon the Minutes of the Court. The Court was then adjourned for the balance of the day in respoct to tho mem orv of tho deceased member of tho Bar. Eggs from pure blue barred Plymouth Rock fowls and absolutely pure white plumaged Pekin Ducks $1 for 13. My stocli is as fine strain as any in the South, Jonir L. Jolly, Denver, S. C, Williamston Items. Capt. George W. Sullivan baa purchased a new bell for the Male Academy, so Prof. Guinea calls his pupils by ringing the bell. Williamston ought to be called the bell town anyway. There are more bells here thau in any other town of its size we know of. We need a town clock and chimes and we will be supplied in the bell line. Cr.pt. Sullivan has his beautiful new dwelling about completed, and it cprtainly is a model of neatness and convenience. If Greenville would send us two or three more such citizens as Capt. Sullivan, we would have a live town out of ono that has been dormant for many years. It is to be hoped that he will take hold of the new hotel enterprise. If he does we know it will be a success, for he does not belong to that class of men who are always saying we can't. On the contrary he say3 we can and must. I rise, Mr. Editor, to nominate him for the Legislature. He has the brain, the cjurage of his convictions, and, in fact, every qualification that goes to make up a man competent to discharge the du? ties of such an office. Mr. Thomas Cox, who lives near Pelzer, is having a uice dwelling put up on Main Street in our town. Mr. Cox expects to move into his new house sometime this year. We extend to him the hand of welcome. He and his pleasant family will add very much to our town, Mahon & Bro. must expect to supply a considerable portion of this section with bread, for they have recently received an immense amount of flour. We have the banner "Chautauqua Cir? cle." Out of a membership of 18 we have 12 graduates. Can any Circle in tho Coun? ty or State beat that? Col. John G. Clinkscales, of Columbia, is in town. By the way how would he do for State Superintendent of Education ? We were pleased to see Mr. Robt. C. Webb, of Anderson, in our town last week. He is traveling for a clothing house, and is so pleasant and gentlemanly that a merchant needing goods in his line can't help but buy from him. Here is a good word for Anderson: One of our citizens bought a lot of "Poultry wire" in Greenville, 3i feet high, for which he paid fonr cents per foot. The same citizen was in the city of Anderson a few days after and was offered "Poultry wire," 4 feet high, for three cents per foot by Sullivan Hardware Co. So you see that it will pay to trade in Anderson. *Mr..J. W. Earkley, from Easley, is in town. He is selling Dr. W. S. Burkhart's great remady for dyspepsia. He reports some wonderful cures. Dew. Carswell Institute Items. Well, Mr. Editor, we have been waiting sometime for something to happen that would do to write to you about, and would be interesting, also, to your read? ers. We had about despaired, still we murmured not. And now we know the truth in that saying, "All things come to those who wait and murmur not," for now I have a lot to write about. To begin, We want it known that we are now troubled with a bad cold. No, it is not the grip. The balmy days that have filled up the last three weeks, have caused it to take its baneful self to other parts. The Doctor is the only one sighing for its return. But we have something worse than the grip. Our washer-woman, thinking she ought to fix our handkerchiefs up nicely, had starched and ironed them beautifully, in the event that the girls should act in accordance with our suggestion to have a Valentine party?which, by the way, they have, but they didn't invite us both, Mr. Editor. Never^ mind, we'll refuse tho first that propose to us. Now, if our nose is red the next time we come to town, don't attribute it to any of the saloons there. They are the cause of enough mischief, without turning our nose red. That washerwoman and this cold mnst bear the blame. . Another wedding, Mr. Editor. Last Tuesday evening Mr. John Hall came over on our side of the river, and on Wednesday he passed back through our domains with Miss Minnie Pruitt as his bride. John looked a3 happy as a king. We wish he and his good wife may alwaya bo so. Our boys dislike for our girls to be carried to Mohawk, and are meditat? ing revenge. Look out, Mohawk girls, our boys are coming. The farmers have been busy during the last few weeks. Sowed a great many oats, and are now breaking and preparing land for their little cotton crop. They have be? gun to economize by not planting so much cotton. That leads to the further economy of not buying so much guano. Very little has been brought into our com? munity up to the present time. The trustees of Hall School District will hold their meeting at our .school house ; next month. Our school is doing finely. All we now [ need are desks and a stove. The children j complain of the smoke. Patrons, let's get [ desks and stove before another term be- i gins. Quid Nunc. Cedar Grove News. The farmeid of this section said last fall that they were not going to plant as much cotton this year as last, but if you were to see them hauling guauo, and how badly some of them are scared they will not bo able to get enough, you would think that a bigger crop than ever will be planted this year. Mr. Allen Mahaffey, who has been clerking in the Alliance Store nt William ston, is going to come back homo and at? tend to his farm. We think his head is level. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Vaughn have shook the grip off at last and are able to be out again. Mr- J. P. Lollis says he has had the grip in one of his eyes. "Aunt" July Duckworth, an old negro who lives on Mr. H. Mahaffey's place, has had a very severe attack of the grip. She is the mother ot twenty-ono children and came to this country years ago from Vir? ginia. She is about one hundred and twenty years of age, and says the grip has hurt her worse than all the sickness she has 67er experienced. Mr. Hugh Mahaffey, who has been the faithful and zealous Superintendent of the Cedar Grove Sunday School for about twenty years, has resigned, and Mr. J. B. Vaugh, the assistant Superintendent, is acting Superintendent. Mr. Vaughn has served the school about eight years as as? sistant, and he has discharged his duties so acceptably, we uiink he should be elected as Mr. Mahaffey's successor. Mr. Bolt eays his chickens have about recovered from tho grip, but thinks his neighbor's ducks areafllicted with it now. Scat. Long Branch Items. As I have not seen anything in your col? umns, Mr. Editor, from this section, I thought I would attempt to let your read? ers hear from us. The farmers have made good use of the recent fine weather, and, I believe, sown more oats thau ever before at this season. That is right. Sow more oats, plaut more corn and reduce the acreage in cotton. Mr. L. A. Williams lost a line cow one day last week. Tho Long Branch school, which is taught by Mr. S. H. Johnson, is in a very flourishing condition. The grip has about, made friends with the people through this section. There are a few cases yot. Mrs. Rachel Greer has returned to her home in Wise County, Texas. Her many friends regretted to see her leave. Our girls do not seem to realizo tha: this is leap year, Get a inovo on you, girls. Fabxer's Boy. A Warning from Europe. The following is an extract from a letter received by Sylvester Bleckley Company from one of the largest and most reliable cotton houses in Germany, and contains a warning that should be heeded by every cotton planter in the South: "Bremen, Germany, Jan. 27,1892. "We will cable you offers if our market should improve, which, however, is not likely for the near future, as everybody is overstocked with cotton. Itj would le great folly if the Americans make again a crop of between tight and nine millions of bales, as next year they will have to sell it at five cents; and we sincerely hope, in the interest of evory one legitimately in? terested in the trade, that the production of cotton will be somewhat curtailed next season." Neva News. The grippe is still raging. Dr. C. V. Barnes is kept quite busy all the time. Mrs. Betsy Ann Keaton has been very low with the grippe, but the last account I had from her she was doing very well. Mr. James King, a well known citizen of Martin Township, died at his home"on Friday night last with paralysis. Mr. King was a good old man, and he has gone to reap his reward. His remains were buried on Saturday afternoon at Bethany, Rev. Mike McGee conducting the funeral services. Miss Nettie Hall is teaching at Ebenezer. Miss Nettie is one of our best teachers. Miss Essie Clinkscales has bad a severe attack of neuralgia, but is up and about again. One night recently a burglar went to the residence of Mrs. Ibby Clinkscales. Two young ladies, Miss Essie and Miss 8idney, were the only persons at home. The bur? glar went to the door and tried to get in, but the young ladies yelled bo it scared the dogs and the burglar both off, and they made a firs and sat up the balance of the night. Burglar, you had better look out, or you will get shot. Three pistols a piece and a shot gun. There was a sociable at Mr. Samuel Em merson's on Saturday evening, and every? one seemed to enjoy it ever so much. Mr. Emmerson and his good wife always make the young folks enjoy themselves. Well, Mr. Editor, if you publish this, I will come again when I can get something to write about. Patsy. Ccntervllle News. With the exception of the grip, the health of our section is very good at this time. The grip, however, will not let go its hold, and every few days we hear of a new victim. News is scarco with us, Mr. Editor, and we have not much to write about this weck. 1 sec so much interesting news from every section of the County in the Intelligeijcee every week that I fear this will not escape the waste basket. I notice that the Little Creek correspon? dent says "friend Jim" visits the other side of the creek right often, and says he hopes the bridge will wash away. Warm weather is coming, and if his wish comes to pass, "friend Jim" can swim the creek, for I know he i9 a good swimmer.
