Tom Carter and Tom Wilson, two young ne? groes, about twenty-two years old, went Into Cox's barroom by means of a false key.

He will have to serve his term in the Penitentiary. A correspondent from Moffataville tail? ed to send his name with bis items, and, under our rule, his manuscript goes to the waste basket. Correspondents should never fail to attach tbeir names to their communications, not for publication, but &a a guarantee of good faith on their part. We would also urge upon them to write only on one aide of tbe paper, aud, when convenient, use pen ana ink instead of a pencil. ? The Spartanbnrg Herald, of tbe 4th inst., says: "A day or two ago W. W. Russell, postmaster at Anderson, and somewhat of a big gun in Republican circles, was in tbe city. He stopped at the Hotel Windsor and registered as C P. Barrett, citv. He occupied room 9 Why Rassel 1 did .this is a mystery. Is tbe postoffico affair being revived ? Can any one throw light on tbe subject? Yerily these be strange times." The Hartwell Sun says an old citizen in Oconee County, Ga., is now going from house to house warning the people to pre Siare for a great famine which be says will egin in 1893. and is to last for two long years.

At tbe beginning of the famine the land will be infested by all sorts of vermin, and the living will suffer untold torture. . TT A. G. Means, the live clothing and gents' furnishing goods dealer, has a new adver vertlsement on. this page, to whloh we inviteyoarattention.

His stock of hats is unusually large, and be can fit anybody's bead, as be has just pur? chased a conformer (a picture of which he shows in his advertisement) for that par pose. Mr. Wm. Ludwig, of Brooklyn, N. Y., died at the Hotel Chiquola last Sunday morning, abont 4 o'clock, of consumption. Mr. Ludwig, accompanied by his wife, came to Anderson last September to spend tbe fall and winter here. He was not con? fined to his bed until abont two months ago, and gradually grew weaker until the summons of death came. He was about SO years of age, and had made many friends in the city, all of whom were very attentive to him during his illness and deeply sympathize with tbe bereaved wife. On Monday morning the remains were shipped to Brooklyn, where they will be interred. Mr. A. J. Shaw, more familiarly known by his friends and neighbors as "Uncle Jack," died at his home in Martin Town? ship last Friday night, and his remains were buried at Mt. Bethel Church on Sat? urday.

Mr. Shaw was about 75 years of age, and was born and reared and bad always resided in the section where be died. He was truly a good man, and was i greatly beloved by his friends. In his neighborhood he will be greatly missed, for he was ever ready and willing to dis? charge hia duties in any way whereupon called upon. He had long been a member of Mt. Bethel Church, and was a consist? ent Christian. He leaves a widow and two sons to mourn his death. No exchange is welcomed to our tables more eagerly than Frank Leslie's Illustrated Weekly. It has this* week all tbe improve? ments which have been gradually taking I place in its pages.

This week's issue illustrates the magnificent hotels building on Fifty ninth Street and Fifth Avenue, New York; a spirited scene of a stag hunt in the North Woods; a story entitled "A Commonplace History," and gives a picture of the negroes on their way to Li? beria who were stranded in New York. But the most interesting thing in tbe pa? per is the contribution by Captain R. kelso Carter on the coming transforma? tion of tbe earth, written in a popular style, the first of a series to he presented, which will be interesting alike to clergy? men and laymen.

We are very much gratified and encouraged to know that our work is satisfactory to our patrons. J. Pi Ricb, Principal, Belton Items. ! Mr. Brown Wilson's little son, George, i Las been very sick recently, but we are j now Rind to learn that the little fellow is i improving rapidly. j Mr. Newton Parker, a few days ago, had j the misfortune to be run over by his mules and wagon. Two wheels of the wagon, loaded with a ton of commercial fertilizer, passed over bis body, painfully bruising his person, but, we tru.st, doing no very serious damage. Mr. R. L. Snipes and Miss Nettie Wil iinghptu were united in marriage Wednes? day, the 2ml inst., at the residence of Rev. J. T. Smith, of Belton, Mr. Smith per? forming the ceremony. Quite a number of the relatives ami friends of the happy conple were present on the joyous occa? sion. We join their many friends in wish? ing this young busband and his wife a hapry and prosperous life in this world, anil in ihe world to come eternal life and happiness MiB3 Janie Smith, a college friend of Miss Mullie Geer, spent last Saturday and Sunday in our towD. Dr. Manly preached two fine sermons in Belton last Sunday. Willis Lewis, colored, wants to know of the whereabouts of a stray male pig, eight monthBold, weighing about fifty pounds gross?color, red and black spotted. Our efficient.marshal, Mr. Willinghatn, has been having a lively time with some of the violators of our town laws. He should have the sympathy and co-opera? tion of every good citizen. Oar town ordinances must be honored if we would have a decent and prosperous village. Obedience to law is one of ihe first lessons a person should be taught. Mr. Raimey Hughes and Mr. Henry Tollison, two of the best engineers on the road, have recently married and brought their wives to Belton, or their home, at least for a while. We welcome them to our town, und hope they may fiud it to their interest to remain with n~s. Mr. Madden, a veteran engineer and a former resident of this place, bas removed to our pleasant town with his family. Mr. Fowler now occupies the new building erected near the Baptist Church by Mr. J. W. Poore, one of our most en? terprising townsmen. Mrs. Dean and Mrs. Tollison still seem to improve, though very slowly, In health. We hope, however, it will not be long be? fore they will have recovered their health. The school at this place is in a good con? dition, and new pupils are being enrolled every week. We can give our children no better legacy than a good education. Mr. G. W. McGee has recently returned ft om a visit to New Orleans, whither he went to meet his brother and other rela? tives in a family reunion. He reports a pleasant time. Mr. Bill. Wlllingbam is putting up a new dwelling near the Academy. Taw. Barnes Drifting!. We have been trying, Mr.' Editor, to keep quiet and not intrude upon your valuable paper by sendioy in any more flowers from Barnes Station, but we have kept silent just aa longa? we can. We only want a short space in your paper for this one time to'say a few words to the two bashful young writers, ''Mr. Robco" and "Pap's Son." Now, gents, we waut you to remember that this is leap year, and it is rapidly passing away, and if you do not accept some of the propositions that are now being made, you may regret it when it is too late. There is n use of you being so bashful or afraid to pop the question, for the answer is already prepared. Just hitch old gray to the buggy and come, and we will go to the Notary Public or preacher, get somebody else to say some? thing. You will pardon me, Mr. Editor, for trying to addreus the young men through your paper, and allow me space to say a few words to those who are already mar? ried and have large families, and are now enjoying themselves in the pleasures of married life. , The farmers are very busy preparing for a crop of corn this year. We think it a good idea, brother farmer. Try to make enough to live on at home, and when we do that cotton can go to three cents per pound and the silyer bill may go to the four winds, and we will sit by our firesides and wouder who will be the next Presi? dent and sing "Old Dan Tucker." Now, brothers, don't neglect the potato patch. Ooe of the old time farmers sayB that potatoes are meat and bread and pretty good shoes for the children. Now is the time, also, to plant your forage patch, and you will save going in debt for horse feed. You must remember that a dollar saved is a dollar made. Use all the economy that is possible, and when we do all we can trust Providence for the increase. But it is not necessary to sit down on the stool of do nothing and expect Providence to help us to change the state of affairs and to curse the monopolist and the gov? ernment. Wake up to a sense of your duty and times will change. As I have already taken more than I intended, I will quit. Little Tom. Our farmers have sown a large crop of small grain this vear, all of which is look? ing fine. B. C. Say has the finest field of wheat we have seen. The farmers are rapidly pushing their work now, and if the fine weather continues they will soon be ready to plant. Capt. J. T. Barnes has already planted several acres of corn. He thinks that corn should be planted earlier this year than usual, for which he gave several reasons, all of which we think very good. Not long since Mr. John Yonng left here for Texas, where he will reside In the future. Those of our young men who did not go to Florida are now interested in going West. In fact, some of them have already made several trips. They say that it only cost them their heart to go, and that they think a very small return for the un? speakable joy they experience while there. Will not ask the County Commissioners to bu?d a biidge for the heartless young men, but think a toll bridge would be money well invested. Who will try it? One of our young men went to Willing ton recently. It was the same business that called blm down there so often last year. Mr. Martin thinks he can settle it in a very few minutes. Friend W. made a mash on another young lady recently. It was not his No. 9 on her No. 3, but, according to the young lady's confession, it is a case of love at first sight. On second sight we think she will not find so muoh to admire?he has shaven off his mustache. Is it possible that our Dark Corner is growing darker? It certainly looks like it the way people are getting lost. Only a few days ago one of our townsmen left here for Cars well Institute and a. sunset found himself near Craft's Ferry, but suppose he didn't care, for he got a young lady to show him home. And some of the boys are sure that Mr. Alewine was lost when he called on one of our young ladies last Saturday night. They say that he made a mistake at the cross roads near Capt. Daniels' plantation. Our Notary Public thinks he will be able to report another marriage soon, be? cause a young man at the party the other night was heard asking his girl how far she lived from here, the condition ol the road, Land if be could drive it in half an hour, <?c. Will not call his name, but think he is not wanted any longer at the parties. Will not say that Miss Ella McAdams was taking advantage of leap year when she visited several of our people recently. Miss Ella is a charming young lady, pos? sessing many excellent qualities, and counts her admirers by tho dozen. Her presence is like sunshine in our midst, and we know that we echo the sentiments of our people in asking her to repeat her visits as often as possible. Well, Mr. Editor, this is leap year and I am expecting a call from Lizzie this week, and if I succeed iu making a mush on her will let you know at once. Wassia. Shilok Fuffij. The voice of the plowman is heard on all sides. If it had continued fair a few days longer most of our farmers would have gotten their fertilisers in. I heard a prosperous farmer Bay if the farmers would fertilize their corn better, and make more'potatoes and molasses, and not plant so much cot? ton, we would be a great deal more pros? perous and happy. Brother farmers, let us follow this good advice. We havn't any marriages to chronicle this week, but If "Bob" keeps on going across the creek, I think we will have a wedding very soon. Two of our girls went fishing the other day. They didn't catch any fish, but they caught a man. Girls, you should follow the example of Misses Nannie aud Ida. Mariou has bought a razor. He says his beard got so stiff a table knife would not cut it. While I was ploughing the other day a party of girls camo to see me, but I regret that they did uot find me at home. Girls, if you had been listening you might have heard our sonorous voice over the hill ploughing old sleepy. Call again, ladies, the latch string hangs out. Mr. Editor, you will have to excuse me for writing with a pencil. I tried to get a goose quill the other night. I did not get the quill, but got a coat of tar and feathers. We aro on exhibition every night at Pied? mont as the wild man from Hurricane swamps. Come up, Mr. Editor, and take a look us. We know ycu would enjoy the bight. Kildee.

He was standing on tbe bank of the creek skuting rocks when he became over-bal? anced and fell in. He had risen the sec? ond timo, whim his father got him oat. Married, on Thursday, March 3rd,at the residence of the bride's futher, Mr. J. J. Kelly, by Rev. Bob Harris, Mr. John Dunlap and Mi.?s Lula Kelly; also Mr. Thomas Crawford and Miss Mattie Daven? port, all of BiIton Township. That night a number of young friends congregated themselves together at Mr. Allen Mabaf fer's, where e.ich aud every one seemed to eD.joy themselve?. Mr. Young Davenport's little infant was buried at this place on the 3rd inst. A few of our farmers are having their land terraced. I think their heads are level on that subject. One of our Jittle friends still goes across the creek to see his girl. We eaunot wish, as some of the correspondents did, that the bridge would wash away, as there isn't one, but we would be glad that he would fall in und get wot. Mr. J. J. Copeland has employed Mr. Joe Voo,? to white-wash and repair his house. Mr. Buddio Davenport has moved to the old Uncle Edmund Urymes' house. The famoas 'possum hunters of this section have gone hunting. Meat is scarce now. It is said by one of our best ladies that if you move Into Cedar Grove section, and aro over twelve years of age, and don't marry in two years, she will give out the cause. Bo if you want to marry justcome along before the rush. We have bad some fine weather the last few days, and our farmers have made good use of it. V/e still hoar the cry, almost every where we go, hard times, but I think that if wo will all go to work right and raise our hog and hominy at home, and use economy, we will get 6o that wo can live at hoine and board at the same place. There was a singing on the 5th inst. at Mr. Jim Garabrell's. A number of young people attended, and they all say they en? joyed themselyeS very much. Our young people like singing. Our Sunday School held an election on last Sunday, which resulted as follows: M. C. Mahaffey, Superintendent; M. E. Ellison, Assistant Superintendent; A. L. Copeland, 3ecretary and Treasurer. There wan a large crowd out. Among those present we noticed the familiar faces of Messrs. Cooley, Henderson, Jimmie Cox, and others too numerous to mention. Gbit and Pot. Moseloy Dots. Times have been very dull with us for tbo past few days. The weather has been flue for farm work, and tbe farmers have been making good use of their time,, but to-day is very disagreeable. Miss Ella McAdams, a most charming youDg lady from tho Institute section, spent a few days in this commuuily since we wrote last. Miss Rosa McAlister, an? other charming young lady of Moffatts ville, spent Wednesday night aqd Thurs? day at Mr. D. H. McAlister's. These young ladies are ever welcome visitors in our community. Would be glad they could come oftener and stay longer. The health of this neighborhood is very good at present. Mr. J. T. Morgan has decided not to go to Mt. Carmel, and is moving his saw mill up on tbe tan-yard branch, where he can accommodate himself as well as his neigh? bors. A certain young man not far from here went to a party recently, and, on finding hui best girl was not there, started at once for her home. On arriving at the place he found she had retired. We do not know what was said, but, however, it was not long until she oame out, hat in hand, ready to go. He says be cannot raise the dead, but be certainly raised her from the bed. Eev. Mr. Durant, pastor of the M. E. Church, will preach at Union Church first Sunday night in April. Not many nights ago one of our neigh? bor friends went to Church, and as he most always goes by and takes his best girl, we made surd he intended to get her that night. When he came in we looked around to see the girl come in with him, but, instead of the girl, were two cats. They didn't stop until they reached the pulpit. Some one said something about the cats going to Church. Our friend rose ? immediately and, calling the "kits," set out for borne. ?, Mr. A. V. Barnes has been spending a while with his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Barnes. Puella. New Hope Items. Mr. W. L. Glenn, formerly of this Coun? ty, but now of Hart County, Ga., is visit? ing relatives in this section, .Mr, John Ployd and son, of Hart Coun? ty, Ga., is visiting relatives here. [ visited the school at McLees Academy laut Friday afternoon to hear tbe speeches, recitations, etc., of tbe pupils. They bad very nice pieces selected, one of which was the "ghost story," which was right amusing to both teacher and pupils. This school is taught by Miss C. L. Davis, who understands how to manage it. She has about thirty scholars. I noticed last week that one of our brother correspondents said that if the young ladies would take advantage of leap year there would be no more wed? dings for the next four years. Brother Waco, I think you will find it a mistake. The girls are not as anxious to marry as tbe boys. If they were there wouldn't have been any to try the leap year plan. The farmers of this section have been making good use of the pleasant weather. Some say they are done ridging cotton land and are preparing their corn land, and will plant some iu a week or two. Be sure and plant enough this year, aud do not be hauling it from town next Spring like yon did this, and then grumble about cotton being so low. Remember this, and next fall don't say "lam broke." The people of this section are slow about gardening. They think it is time enough yet. One of our bachelors says if his best girl does not change her mind before next Christmas be will not have to keep "bach" next year. He says be is going to build a noat little cottage when he gets his crop made. That is right; get you a good wife and then you can Jive a happy live together. Mam. Or?fis Roads itoms. It being rough weather, Mr. Editor, and we havn't anything to do but to sit by the fire and eat walnuts, we concluded to iet tbe readers of the Intelligencer know what wo am doing in this section. Tbe Cross Roads by-word Is, how is your no e? Miss Lizzie Anderson has a flourishing school at this place. Miss Lizzio is an excellent teacher, aud well liked by pupils and patrons. Our farmers are going to plant less cot? ton and moro eorn Mr. J. Li. Tucker has completed his new cottage on South Main Street. Our good old friend, Mr. Will. Tucker, has shaved ofi' his mustache. The girls say it scratched their faces. Our young friend, West Ballard, receiv? ed a proposal the other day. We believe he intends to say "yes." C. L. Guvton. who has been attending lectures at Nashville, was d:>wn to see us last week. Tennessee treats him well. A. L. Smith says if tho Sbiloh girls want him to come and get bouquets, they will have to buy him a hat. Haid times is still the cry. and some thief baa stolen my wife's blind hen to make a chicken pie. Well, he won't get much out of that hen, as our wife had plucked the feathers off of her to put in a pillow. Well, Mr. Editor, as our epistle is get? ting lengthy, wo will close by promising to write again if this escapes that ex hauatable waste basket. Aunt Mandy. Oakland Dots, As I have not seen anything iu your columns, Mr. Editor, from this section I thought I would attempt to let your read? ers hear from us. The little gun shot and the big gun fired. Look out, Alice correspondent, here it is. The girls at the Red Hills say the "haunt" from Cedar Grove visits them twice a week and :-nce Sunday. Push ahead, Mr. "haunt," I think you will suc? ceed. I reckon the grip is fixing to leave this section. I hear thut it has been trying to make friends with some of the people We would recommend the young men with courting on the braiu, who havo bad so much trouble here of late with their horses breaking loose, to join the infantry. I feel a little hopeful of our neighbor? hood now, if cotton will only stay down until all the farmers get done planting and it gels too late to plant cotton. The health of our community is very good at this writing. We are sorry to note the illness of onr friend, Preston Clinkscales, and hopo he will recover again to his wonted health. Spring oats are lookiug fine. Some of our farmers are preparing to plant a big corn crop. We have a good school in charge of Mr. W. H. Tarka, of Georgia. We aro glad to have him in our midst, as he is such an accomplished teacher, and is doing a good work. Bazaar. ?"? For Sale?Fifteeu shares of tho Ander? son Cotton Mills stock, Apply to E, W.

Hclcombe, our worthy young townsman, has purchased a sulky plow. Friend H. is on the Truitt plan?five bales to the acre. If the farmers don't go to raising their own supplies at home the country will have to be sheltered over and make a poor house of it. Olo Rosin De Bow. Alice News. Capt. J. P.

Mr. Brooks Gailey haB bought two po? nies, and is going to farming. He Bays he is going to get married, too. Nearly every correspondent of the In? telligencer has had something to say about leap year and girls going courting. I think it a very sorry man who can't court a pretty girl. Don't you agree with me, Mr. Editor. Miss Lucia Campbell visited her sister, Mrs. Elvira Evans, last Saturday night. John. Greenville District?Second Round. Piedmont, Beulah Church, March 19? 20.
