Rev. J. DeWitt Burkehead, D. D., pas?
tor of the First Presbyterian Church in
Montgomery, Ala., died at his home in
that city on Tuesday, 18th lost., aged
about 60 years. Several months ago he
had a severe attack of the grip, from which
be never recovered. Dr. Burkehead was
a native of North Carolina, and was secog
nized as one of the ablest ministers of the
Southern Presbyterian Chnroh. He had
done a great deal of evangelistic work,
and wherever he labored much good was
accomplished. He married a sister of Mr.
B. H. Anderson, of this County, and was
well known throughout this section. His
death, therefore, will bring sorsow to the
hearts of a widp circle of friends.*
The Newberry Herald and News, of the
20th inst., says: "Miss Alice H. Brown
and Mr. J. Craig Gary were married last
Thursday p. m. at the residence of the
bride's grandmother, Mrs. A. J. Long?
shore, Rev.. W. J. L?ngsten officiating.
The bride is*the accomplished daughter of
the late W. S. Brown, a prominent lawyer
of Anuerson, and has been teaching in the
community for one or two seasons. She
is a most excellent teacher, and the patrons
regret very much to give her up. . The
groom is one of No. 4's nicest, best and
most progressive young men. Miss Lil?
lian Rowland, one of No 6's belles, and
Prof. T. W. Gary acted as bridesmaid and
groonniman. We wish our friends a long
and happy journey throngh life, and
much success be theirs." #
. The Columbia State says: "A commis?
sion has been issued for the formation of
the Pendleton clnb. It is an organization
of prominent citizens of Pendleton into a
private corporation 'for social and liter?
ary purposes and for such other purposes
as are not repugnant to the laws of the
land.' The cqrporators are'. J. M.
Dukes, J. T. Hunter, James A. Price, T.
J. S. Lewis, E. T. Holmes, and1 others,
and the capital is $2,000 in 400 sharea at $15
each. This is the second Club of the kind
formed in the State since the decision of
Supreme Court in the 'Columbia Club''
ease, and as it is right under the nose of
Clemson College, and not at the 'head?
quarters of devilment' it will probably be
allowed to pursue the even tenor of its
way without being charged with "bam?
boozling and debauching' the rural states?
men of the land."
Married, on Tuesday morning, April
26, 1S92, at the residence of the bride's
father, Mr. W. F. Smith, near Piercetown,
by Rev. O. L. Martin, Mr. Robert M. Ba?
ker, of this city, and Miss Minnie Smith,
of the County. The ceremony was wit?
nessed by the family and a few intimate 1
friends of the bride and groom. After the '
ceremony the couple went to William?
ston and boarded the train for a trip to
Richmond, Va , where they will spend a 1
few days with a elster of Mr. Baker. The
groom is one of Anderson's most upright i
and worthy young men, while the bride
is a most popular and excellent young I
lady, possessed of many noble virtues of '
both heart and mind. The Iktellioxn- '
oeb joins the many friends of the happy
couple in extending congratulations and
wishing them a happy and prosperous,
journey through life. |
The Greenville Nows of last Sunday
says: "W. A. Cantrell, a young man
twenty years old, son of J. J. Cantrell, of
Brushy Creek post office,- Anderson coun?
ty, was discharged from the lunatio asy?
lum in Colombia, on Thursday. He left
that city on the Columbia & Greenville
train and has not been seen since. Per?
sons from Eaaley were in the city yesterday
looking for the young man, bnt could get
no trace of him except from the statement
of the engineer of Thursday's train, who
said a young man answering Cantrell's
description had left the train at the Air
Line depot Thursday afternoon and started
back down the track walking. It is feared
the young man has again lost bis mind and
has wandered off or has mot foul play.
He wore a dark suit of clothes. He
weigbs about 135 pounds, has Bandy hair
and blue eyes, is slightly stooped, and
walks clumsily."
Last Thursday morning Messrs. E.
Snipes <fe Co.,* who do business on Brick
Bange,- discovered that the lock on their
cellar door had been brokon, and they be?
lieved that their store had been entered
and goods stolen. The police were noti?
fied, and that night officer Kose secreted
himself in the cellar and Mr. T?te, who
stays in the store, placed himself ou the
outside where he could watch the door.
Erelong a negro approached the cellar
door and entered. At this juncture Mr.
T?te gave the signal by firing his pistol,
when the negro ran up through the store,
and, unbolting the front door, made his ex?
it at a rapid pace. The officers pursued
him and captured him on "Whitner street.
The negro proved to be Henry Talley. who
had, until recently, been employed by
Messrs. Snipes & Co. The burglar has
been committed to jail. He implicated an?
other negro, named Shumate, who was
arrested, nut no proof could be secured
against nim and he was discharged.
Last Friday Coroner Nance held an in?
quest over the body of Mary Scott, a ne?
gro woman who resided on Mr. Will.
Webb's plantation, in Varehnea Town?
ship. A few days preceding Christmas
the woman and her husband had a row,
and the latter had knocked her down and
kicked her out of the house. Since then
she had been in declining health, and she
claimed that it was caused by the brutal
treatment at the hands of her husband.
When she died Coroner Nance was noti?
fied and as) J to make an investigation as
to the cause of her death. The jury of in?
quest heard the evidence of several of the
woman's relatives, all of whom verified
' the statement of the cruel treatment she
had received from her husband. Drs. M.
A. Thomson and J. O. Wilhite examined
the body, and they gave it as their opin?
ion that she had died from natural causes,
the former stating that he had treated her
several months previous for consumption.
The jury rendered their verdict in accord?
ance with the statement of the physicians.
Last Thursday morning Mr. D. Hoke
Hammond met with a most painful acci?
dent, which caused his death. While
driving a young horse, which had not
b:en thoroughly broken to harness, the
animal became frightened and attempted
to run away. The wagon was upset and
Mr. Hammond was thrown to the ground
with such force as to break both bones of
his left leg near the ankle joint and dislo?
cated the joint. One of the bones pro?
truded throngh the flesh several inches.
The unfortunate accident happened near
his residence, ou north Main street, and
he was picked up and carried into the
house and everything possible was done
for his relief. He never recovered from
the terrible shock to his nervous system,
and he soon became unconscious, in
which condition he remained until 4
o'clock Sunday afternoon, when death
claimed him as its victim. Mr. Hammond
was about 42 years of age, and was twice
married. A widow and two children,
and eleven children by his first marriage
survive him, he having married when a
boy. On Monday his remains were in?
terred in the Bhiloh Churchyard, in
Brushy Creek Township.
Mrs. Mariah Xing, widow of the late
James A. King, died quite suddenly at
her home near Cray ton last Sunday even?
ing, and on Monday Coroner Nance was
summoned to hold an inquest over the
body. From the evidence heard by the
jury, the facts, briefly stated, are about as
follows: Mrs. King and her sister, Mrs.
Saylors, lived in the same house. On
Sunday afternoon the Tormer was in her
usual health, and had been visited by her
daughter, Mrs. Pruitt, who lived near by.
When Mrs Pruitt started home, her
mother and Mrs. Saylors walked out to
the gate with her. On the way back to the
house Mrs. King went around to the wood?
pile, and, picking up two small sticks of
wood, entered her room. Five minutes
afterwards Mrs. Saylora came in and. to
her surprise, found Mrs. King stretched
across the hearth with her face in the fire
K' ace. She ran and picked the unfortunate
dy up and placed ,,e> -,on a bed, Medi
cal aid was summoned, but the Rood wo?
man was beyond human aid. Death bad
come suddenly. Dr. 0. V. Barnes exam?
ined tbo body, and Rave it as his opinion
that she bad died Crom ?poplexv. and the
jury so reodt-red their verdict. Mrs. King
was a devoted Christian, and her death is
deeply lamented by all her friends and
neighbors. Hor husband had preceded
her to the grave just two months to the
day.

Wo have written to you twico before,
Mr. Editor, but our mail carrier has boen
so irregular lately, we could not got our
communications off until they woro too
old. Almost all of our citizens have vow?
ed that if Warren, the mail carrier, is
not more punctual in the future,
they will petition for a new man.
That is about the only drawback we have
in our community. If we had a regular
mailrider, a three'-tirnes-a-weok mail and
a post-of?ce located in our community,
neur tho Institute, we would be a com?
munity to bo enviod. Look at our advan?
tages. Our healthy climate and our affa?
ble doctor drive away all fear of any rav?
ages of disease. We try to meet each
other, visiting friends and strangers
with such a welcoming salutation as to,
at once, make them feel at home. We are
surrounded by the Churches of Rocky
*River, First Creek, Varennes and Hebron,
hence our moral and religious advance?
ment is secured. Besides these Churches,
we have a very flourishing Sunday School
at the Institute, whose good work is
bound to Influence tho lives of our young
for the better in years to come. That
makes me think, Mr. Editor, about
John's, of Alice, question. If he will
come up to our Sunday School next Sun?
day, and pay close attention to our work?
ings, he will be better answered than in
any other way. We. have a uniouachool.
Our school selected its literature, which
is gotten up by a Baptist institution.
Every one is earnestly solicited to join us.
Onr motto is "To do what is right, a<? G-od
gives us light to seo what is right." We.
are united for the purpose of obeying, as
we can, God's command, "Go ye, there?
fore, and teach all nations." We use our
literature as a means of attaining that end
or aim. Our Sunday School is also actu?
ated by tho command, "Go out into the
highways and hedges and compel them to
come."' Wo earnestly entreat John to
como and bring others to aid our good
work. ' But I was speaking of the advan?
tages of our community, and am about
to say too much about our Sunday School,
to the exclusion of others. But if one
should not belieyo we have a good school
"just como and see."
Our school is another great advantage
we enjoy. While the Sunday School and
Churches insure our moral and religious
development, our school gives us an intel?
lectual development which so many oth?
er sections fail to enjoy. Our Boil is fer?
tile, and the present outlook for wheat
and oats is promising. Our people are
kind and hospitable, and, taken all in all,
we are truly a blessed community.
The recent rains have thrown us back
some in our farm work. Corn and ootton
planting is the order of tho day when 'tis
dry enough.
We wore sorry to note that our first
campaign meeting was characterized by
rowdyism, and want of respect to the
speakers. Why can't onr voters listen to
a clear statement of affairs and form
opinions for themselves? Voters, lay
aside your prejudices and listen to the
discussion of the issues of the day with
an unbiased mind. Think for yourselves
and vote for what you think is right.
May the disrespect shown at Greenville
be the last manifested in the campaign is
the wish of Quid N.unc.
Cooks?Corner.
Winter seemB loath to give up. To-day
(25tb) the thermometer ranges down
among the forties.
A general cry of no. cotton prevails.
Some are replanting, and others would, !f
they only had the seed. It is contended
by some that the seed already planted this
cold weather will rot, and if such should
be the case there is not sufficient seed in
the country to near re-plant the cotton
crop.
f Mr. Jua. L. Jackson, with a small force
of bands, gave our town a complete over?
hauling last week, and it really looks like
Cooks had stepped right square to the
front. The change in appearance is won?
derfully improved.
Messrs. T. C. Jackson and Thos. A.

A batch of young men left-this commu?

A little daughter of Mr. L. E. Hall fell
a few days ago from the piazza, and frac?
tured her forearm. It was soon attended
to and she has since been doing finely.
Yesterday evening a younger daughter
was out where some hands were burning.
Her clothing caught on fire, and she went
some distance to the house. Her mother,
noticing that something was on fire, went
to search tor it, and met the child at the
water pail, screaming and in a blaze. She
at ouce threw her down and emptied two
pails of water, extinguishing the flame at
once, and fortunately, though painfully,
she was not seriously injured.
There was a discussion of the Greenville
meeting at this place a few days' ago be?
tween a Tillmanite and an anti-Tillmanite,
aud the following colloquy occurred:
Till man?"It's no. use in these an ties try?
ing to do anything; they can't do any-,
thing with these Tillmanites." Auti-Till
man?"Well, it's worth working, for any?
way, and we won't give it up until the
very last." Tillman?"You might as
well, for, if these anties go out to these big
meeting and get to cutting up, these yere
Tillmanites will just slap-out of 'em."
Anti-Tillman?"I don't guess there will
be much danger in the like, for they will
be more tolerant than that." Tilllman?
"No, sir, us 'one gallus' fellows is going to
run rough shod over you fellows; we ain't
got more than half sense no way, and get
us about half drunk we ain't got a bit.' "
Anti-Tillman?"My friend, I am sorry to
hear you make that confession, and if I
was in your place aud honestly believed
that, I would just quit the party at once."
Tillman?"No, sir, I just expect to stick
to my crowd to the very last." *

Catarrh is a most disgusting ailment

fail to try such coustitutional treatment
as is afforded by tho uso of B. B. B.,
which removes tho mucous poison iu tho
blood and thus eradicates the cause of tho
disease.
N. C. Edwards, Lampassas Springs,
Tox., writos: "I was greatly annoyed
with catarrh which impaired my genoral
health. The discharge from my noso
was very offensive, and I usod various
advertised remedies without bonefit un?
til finally the use of B. B. B. entirely
cured me. I am proud to recommend a
blood remedy with such powerful cura?
tive virtue."
B. C. Kinard &, Son, Towaliga, Ga.,

B. B. B. for catarrh, which ho thought
incurable as it had rosistod all troatment.
It delighted him and continuing its uso
he was cured sound and well."
