Since then Mr, Seigler has hovered between life and death, and Haley and bis wife are confin? ed in jail awaiting the result of the blows. There are conflicting reports as to which party was aggressor in the difficulty, which began between Mr. Seigler and Ha? ley, and in which the woman interfered. Ail the medical attention possible baa been rendered the wounded man, but it j is majored that life canned last long, ? The "Reform Republicans" held their district Convention in this city iast Fri? day. There' were only nine delegates present, and W. W. Russell presided.

A few days ago we were the recipient of j a most beautiful and tastefully arranged bouquet of lovely -flowers from our fair and- charming little friend, Miss Eula Hutchinson, of Iola. It was composed of | a dozen or more of the choicest varieties of flowers, and was admired by every visitor to our sanotum. We return many thanks to our little friend, und hope the Guardian Angel may ever attend her through the pathway of life.

Earper'e Young People gives the follow? ing instructions how to send flowers by mail: ''Cut them early in the morning, and let them stand in water for some hours before packing, so as to absorb moist? ure enough to prevent them from wither? ing, in which case they will not need to be sprinkled aftor they are in the t ox. Pack in a light wooden box lined with cotton hatting and covered with tissue-paper. Lay the flowers not on top of each other, bot in rows side by side, the blossoms of J each row on the stems of their neighbors and as close as possible; cover with paper and cotton; see that the lid of the box is securely fastened, and remember to write on one corner "Cut Flowers," as that will insure the package being carefully and quickly handled." Mr. Lee Holland, a former citizen of thlB County, who lived near Belton, died at his home in Whitfield County, Ga., On Thursday of last week. Mr. Holland leaves a wife and three children and many other relatives and friends who feel deep sorrow at his death. The deceased was about 45 years of age, and though in the prims of manhood, he was fatally stricken with a case of ff je*?, and in his death the bereaved wife' add children sea the hope of then- life and the mr.instay of their j home cut down and taken from them. May they who have felt so heavily the hand of affliction turn to Him for com? fort and support who has promised to be the stay of the widow and the Father to the orphans., , William Wilson, otherwise known as "Bud" Wilson, who lives in Brushy Creek Sownahip, this County, out his wife's iroat with a razor Tuesday morning, killing her instantly, and then cut his own throat so seriously tnat it will piove fatal, all of which seems to have been deliber? ately premeditated. Wilson was jealous of his wife, but without cause, ,il; is said. Just after arising from his bed he procured a razor and started for his wife, who ran, but the murderer caught her, pulled back her head and nearly severed head from body with the razor. Mra. Wilson was a daugh? ter of the Rev. S. Garrett, e, Baptist preacher, and a sister of Rev. Thomas Garrett, a student at Furman University, Greenville. Coroner Nance held an in? quest over the dead body, but we have been unable to get the verdict. Wilson is about 30 years old, and three little children are left motherless. Frank Leslie's Weekly contains a graph ological department which will furnish any reader oftbat periodical a short aketoh of their psychological traits on sending them twenty lines or their handwriting. Their judgment is based solely on the character and style of the handwriting. Mr. J. H. vTouHasslent of this city, sent in a specimen of hi si writing, and the follow? ing analysis of his psychological traits was published on the 5th inst.: ''Is educated, somewhat critical, practical, fairly candid, and careful in detail. He is Arm, warm in temperament, but not unrefined. Is self-appreciative and most desirous of the appreciation of others. He is ready in speech but not communicative, is perse? vering, tenacious, capable, is a useful man." Those who know Mr. TonHas slen can judge for themselves whether his characteristic traits are those ascribed to him above. Mr. John Harper, of Hopewell Town* ship, was gathered unto his fathers, full of years and honors, on the morning of j the 8th inst., at his home in Hopewell Township, surrounded by sorrowing friends who had gathered around his bed to administer to his bodily comfort, and to be present when his spirit should, take its flight and return to the God that gave it. John Harper was. born in this County nearly 84 years ago, and excepting a tihort time, has lived here all his .life. He ?has been an Industrious man who has managed his business well and had ac? cumulated a considerable property around him. He never married. A sister kept house for him. He was a member of Hopewell Church, and lived a life consis? tent ? with his profession. On Monday evening at 7 o'clock he was laid in the t;raye at Hopewell Churchyard,, and a large .number of his friends gathered aro and to assist in and witness the last nervice that could be rendered him. Mr. Harper leaves behind him one brother and three sisters, and numerous friends who lament his death. A prominent and exemplary citizen, a kind and hospitable .neighbor and an humble Christian, his **tth Is a loss that wiU be deeply regretted hy ?II y?ho knew him. Toesdt?/ywa8 decoration day in Ander? son. Th&\Wutiful custom is always ob? served here, tftough it is not as generally participated ^ should be thecmse. It is eminently aml fitting that tne graves of the gnuaSt Confederate tioldiers who laid down their in the service of their countryN should "fee visited at least1 once a year by tbe li7ing>and that those graves should be atrewnNwith flowers. Miss Lenox* C.

(Stonewall) Jackson, who was wounds on tbe 2nd of May by bis own side by mla take during the fierce battles around Chan cellorsvllle, which were fought in 1803. It was during these actions that the trans? cendent skill of Lee, who had only 50,000 men, defeated Gen. Hooker, who had a superb army of 132,000 well drilled sol? diers. Than the Confederate soldier none more gallant and chivalrous ever faced a foe, and history fails to furnish an exam? ple of generalship superior to that of the Confederate commander. They left a heritago to which succeeding ages can point with pride. The graves of the dead deserve tbe fairest decoration the mind can conceive and the hand can plaoe. May the custom grow in favor ana may the living ever remember and honor tbe dead. Green Fond News. I am very proud to inform you, Mr. Editor, that the health of this community was never better at this time of the year. Everybody is working at a lively pace, and the crops are giving evidence of it. Corn is looking fine and as a general thing j V '.ie people have a very good stand of cot? ton .

Among tboyoung men who haye gone out from their native homes in Anderson County to cast their fortunes in tho far West is our young friend, Prof. J. M. Dean, who is now a resident of Troupe, Texas, and at the head of a large and flourishing school of that town. Prof. Dean is the second son of our esteemed fellow-citizen, Mr. R. B. Dean, and like his father, will make friends wherever he may show his genial face. Italways gives the Intelligencer exceeding pleasure to hear a good report from an Anderson County boy, and we know the many old companions and friends of the Professor in this section will read the following extract, which is taken from a Troupe paper, with great pleasure. The paper says: "Troupe's new school, Chilton In? stitute, is now progressing under the most favorable auspices, and bids fair to be ono of tho best institutions in East Toxas." Then follows a description of the magnificent school building, furni? ture, grounds, etc., and concludes as fol? lows : "Not least, but great as the greatest were the diplomas and certificates of scholarship shown us by Prof. J. M. Dean- The Professor graduated in 1886 at the Sam Houston Normal Institute, Huntsville, Texas, and his diploma bears the names of Ex-Governor John Ireland, as Executive, and Dr. J. Baldwin, as President of the Institute. This diploma entitles Professor Dean to the privilege of being competent to accept any school in the State without having to submit to the regular examinations of County school boards; besides is high testimonials of his honesty, integrity and moral standing, as everybody knows tho State of Texas only does everything well. The Profes? sor is a Southern gentleman of nice, fine exemplary qualities. His bearing and deportment is in keeping with the posi? tion be occupies in our business circles, as one of the principals of one of the finest schools the State can boast. With? out Professor Dean, at this time, Troupe would be left in an awkward position, there being bnt few men capable of filling the important place for .which he is so well qualified, and now occupies so cred? itable to her school interests. Troupe cannot part with Professor Dean." Honea Path Items. The whitewash brush is being exten? sively used in town. , Frying chickens are almost ripe, judg ibg from the size of some we see on our Eeannt patch every day. We wonder ow they would taste. Messrs. W. R. Dune and W. J. Don nald, of Donnalds, were in town last Tues? day. They are Btandlnt the hard times allrigbt, or at least they look well. Mr. 8. T. Clyde has closed out his busi? ness here and gone KvGreenville. May peace, joy and happiness attend his foot? steps. The farmers are beginning te see that legislation will not give them quite as much relief as was first thought, as a glance over the country will show that they aro trying home production this year. In our opinion this will work. Some of our citizens have experienced nome loss in the St. Paul German Insur? ance Company, of Minnesota, which has made an assignment. Lawn Tennis has been revived since the closing up at 6 o'clock has begun. Some of our boys handle the rackets very well, end the ladies are catching on fast J. R. Donnald is buying up cattle for cummer pasturage; also for shipping pur? poses. Messrs. J. G. Mattison. and C. M. Trlb ble attended the dosing exercises of the Donnald'8 school on Thursday night of last week, and of course report a splendid time. L. Y. Moore has rented the room next to J. R. Callaham & Co., and will serve re? freshments to the public in general. It takes Mr. W. M. Shirley to explain the farmers' movement. He is a practical as well an theoretical farmer, and his ad vice is not to be ignored. Arthur McGee and Misses Maggie and Carrie came down from the plantation to take charge of things while their father and mother takes in the Baptist Conven? tion, in Atlanta. Dr. Cowan Bowen arrived from Balti? more last week a full-fledged M. D. He has not dedded where, to settle, but the probability is that H. P, will be bis borne. The acuual pic nio at Er win's, as was j announced, will take place next Friday, 13tb. Remember that you can come to the pic nie and bring all yonr friends and neighbors, as the order will be looked after by a Committee of eight men, who will i see that all present will conduct them? selves becomingly. The streets have been partially worked, and now present a neater appearance. A few more day's work will complete them for the ensuing year. Vegetables are beginning to come in. ? Some of the early planters are feasting on early varieties. The political pot Is still boiling, but the i fire is beginning to get low, and the boil? ing beat will soon disappear. Of course we cannot all have it our way. We should console ourselves with the old adage that "even wise men differ in opinion." The Honea Path Comedy Club will give an entertainment in the school house ^riday .night. The programme embraces Ethiopian dramas, comedies and stump speeches. The boys have put in a good deal of thdr spare timo preparing, and no doubt those who attend will be amply re? paid for their trip. The proceeds will go to the three Churches, for which we feel grateful. Come everybody. A good story is told on our undertaker. A citizen walked in his store with a bean stick in bis band, and of course the un? dertaker thought it was a measure, and wanted to sell him a coffin anyhow. The citizen informed him that it was a bean stick, whereupon the undertaker told him it was not his business to look after any living thing, to ask him no questions about about beans. Mr. L. C. Branyon is home from the South Carolina College for a few day's rest. Mr. W. P. Culberteon has been teaching at Jones's, in Abbeville County, for the past session. He closed his school with an exhibition last Friday night. His eatrona speak in terms of highest praise of is work among them. His sohool re? mained full until the close. . Miss Jennie Shitley has closed her school after a prosperous session, and re? turned home for a few week's rest. We are proud of the work the Honea Path boya and girls are accomplishing as teach? ers Rev. Chas. B. Smith will preach in the Methodist Churoh here on Friday night, 20th inst., and Childrens' Day will be cel? ebrated on Saturday, 21st inst. Honea Path Church pays Rev. L. M.

Vandiver and Paul Brock visited friends in this section last Sunday. Mrs. J. A. Rock spent a day or two with relatives here last week. The closing exercises of Honea Path High School will take place on Thursday night and Friday, June 2nd and 3rd. Carswell Institute. * Again, Mr. Editor, we feel we should let you know how we are in this burgh. Taking out the blues among our farm? ers?some of them?we are enjoying our? selves very well. These bines are brought about by the backwardness in the cotton plants in making their appearances above the ground. However, the few clouds, that passed over some few days ago, caused their faces to light up. There is nothing that brings out life ip-thingsso much as the refreshing shower. It causes tjred work-horses to prick up their ears, the chickens to rush under tho house, the geese to set up their shrilly tones, the duck to practice on a quack, the grass to grow with amazing rapidity, the careworn farmer to put on a complacent smile and all nature to show praise and thanksgiv? ings to the Giver. And may all men learn to imitate nature in this respect. We've tramped over, ridden by and have seen a great deal of this immediate country since we last wroto, and if you will take our word for it, you oau rest as? sured that our people will have wheat bread in the fall, unless the rust should destroy the present promises of the wheat Cora seems to be doing pretty well?that whioh is upland most everybody ia through planting. Cotton, as we have before intimated, failed to come up bo as to give good stands, yet we saw some fields there was plenty. On the other fields the recent shower with the present warm days and nights will cause it to lift up its head. These bright May dnys cause our lads and lasses to dream pleasant dreams of happy times at pio nics. Judging from the number you have announced in your columns of last week, they are likely to realize their dreams, too, Pio nice are good things, too. When carried on prop? erly, they enliven and build up society; and, at them, we usually have plenty of candidates and cold chicken?both good things, if rightly managed. Our Bchool teacher, Mr. J. L. Eskew, believes in pic nics, too, for on Gth inst. he, with his sohool, spent the day at Lee's Shoals. Fishing ? was engaged in exten? sively, though we cannot learn with what success, The pio nie was given the chil? dren in order to make the last day before vacation a holiday. Oar teacher has now gone to bis home in Greenville County, but will be back in summer. 'Tis remarkable that John should think we intended to include First Creek in the bounds of our neighborhood. If we should say Anderson Connty was sur? rounded by Counties of Oconee, Pickens, Greenville and Abbeville, with State of Georgia, we suppose he would think we meant them all to be in Anderson County. Notwithstanding her greatness, she is not so large. But some folks will show their ignorance. Now we would, with all kind? ness, advise John to spend some of his time as a pupil of some school teacher, even though it be one of the kind he so maligns, as "it takes too or three to make one." If he can find no better, we cordi? ally invite him to come to the Institute when our teacher gets back. We know that he will receive bira. Perhaps he will learn that it is very poor policy to speak of matters pertaining to a Sunday School through a newspaper, and never mention them in the schools, and yet he says "we are a member of the Union Sunday School." There are hopes for him, if he is, for our idea of work is to help the weak, and to guide tbe blind. Politics now are claimine the attention of our people to a considerable extent. We are very eager to get the papers now in order to keep up. We were very sorry to note that our County Convention had not a harmonious meeting. And we were doubly so, to know that our men could not endorse Capt. J. B. Patrick's resolu? tion condemning the Third Party, and claiming nothing but being Democrats. Away with the Third Party and upbuild trne Democracy! True democracy being bnilt up, the song of Longfellow, "Sail on, O ship of State ! Sail on, 0 Union strong and great!' can be cheerfully sung by Quid Nunc. Needle's Newell News. At this writing everything seems to be quiet and peaceable in this region. We are all about done planting, and a good many Of us have commenced to work over our cotton. The Mountain Springs Debating Society is still on a boom. The older gentlemen of this community are cordially Invited to attend. We meet at early candle light every Saturday night. The subject for discussion next Saturday night is, '-Which has done the greatest service to mankind, tbe printing press or tbe steam engine?" If you will only get started, gentlemen, I feel assured that you will attend regularly. Mr. W. T. Moore's domicile received a countless number of strokes from the paint brush last week, which improves it's looks a great deal. From what I can hear everything seems to be calm and serene in the "Troglevel'' province. Strawberries are getting ripe. Don't they make a delicious pie ? Not boasting at all, Mr. Editor, but we have got as good a Sunday School at Mountain Springs as there is in this lo? cality anywhere. Mr. G. E. Smith was appointed road overseer on last Friday, April 29th, by one of the County Commissioners. The "Alliance Liver Pills" are getting better, only reading the directions that are on the box will get a move on some people. Every little chap that can raise a hoe will go to farming now in a few days. If they don't hoe cotton they will put in good time chasing the butterflies and gross? hoppers around. Miss Maggie Plckens, of Equality, is visiting her grandfather and grand? mother, Mr. and Mrs. E. Wigington, at this place. The members of the Mountain Springs Debating Society respectfully inyites the Brushy Creek boys to attend. Come down, boys, I am satisfied that you will enjoy yourselves. The proprietors of the "Variety Store", request me to tell their many friends in this and adjoining Counties that when they do their trading at the "Variety Store" they are as near headquarters as they can get. The Greenville Weekly Democrat says that David B. Hill will be our next Presi? dent. I don't claim to be a prophet nor a politician either, but I wouldn't be sure prised if John C. Sheppard isn't our next Governor. It gives me much pleasure, Mr. Editor, to inform yon and your many readers that some of the boys that get married last Christmas were at the Debating So? ciety Saturday night. I was really proud to see them and trust that they will be with us again. Give my respects to "Farmer's Son," and tell "Farmer's Lad" if be will Bend his neighbor up here I think that proba? bly we can scare him up a few cats. If the cats happen to be gone visiting when he comes be can go-to the "Variety Store" and buy him a Dandy Bat Trap, some? thing that he won't have to feed and something that will catch as many rats as anybody's cat. Mr. Editor, may the bright rose of hap? piness and prosperity ever bloom in the garden of thy destiny, .t id in dne time may you and I be permit ed the pleasure of shouting hurrah for Sheppard! Reader, sing 1891 of the Tillman admin? istration, and I will leave it with you. ._Ned Needle. Denver Items. Well, Mr. Editor, the health of this sec? tion is very good with a few exceptions. Mr. S. L. EsEew, and his daughter, Miss Kate, left this place last Thursday evening, 5th inst., for the Baptist Conven? tion in .Atlanta. Ga., with several oth? ers from around here. We hope they will have a nice time while they are there. Oar crops are looking fine, with the ex? ception of cotton, and it is aboqt to get a move on itself. Mr. L. C, one of our brightest young men, drives one of the finest black horses that there are In this section, and that horse knows the way to Iola Postoffice about as well as L. Cr.does, and Miss-, if you have a hold on uim you had better hold on to him. Well, Mr. Editor, our friend is about done planting his bottom corn, and you know he is glad of that, for be has been ? sweating and blowing over it a long time. Tuesday morning, 2nd inst., Mr. S. L. Eskew was burning off his new ground and the wind got up and the fire got cut in to a body of ?woods and burned over about thirty-five acres and damaged the timber very much. We have a nice school at Denver now. Miss Mamie Bailey is our teacher. I think one or two of our boys like to go down about the Grange Hall. I hope they will succeed allri?ht down there. Mr. Editor, I must close, as this is my first time, and if I see this in print I will come again._Jumbo. Butnes Items. Mb. Editok: I now take my pen in hand to tell yon that I rather guess you'll be considerably astonished when you read what I sit down to write. I've got some news to toll Hit you can't guess until next never, so you may as well givo it up first as last boforo you begin; and you ain't to let on a word about it until next Wednesday p. m. Come to think, I don't care if you tell Nimpsy, for he is a particular friend of mine, but don't you open your head about it to nobody else, for I want to surprise these Barnes folks, and make them open thoir eyes a littlo. Come to consider, I think you had better not toll Nimpsy, for I am afraid ho will tell Little Tom, and he would tell Bill, and that's the very one that I don't want to know it until it bursts upon him all of a suddon. like a thunder clap. I guess I'll let him know that I can soe and hear a few things myself. He that hath eye3 to see let him see! I saw Mr. Jas. Callaham pass through here last Saturday p. m. Of course be turned to the right, ju.it below here. Also, Mrs. Edward Mitchell left here re? cently for Bordeaux, whore she will spend several days. Wo see some of tbe boys looking very happy because Miss Onie Martin is visiting here this week. Others, however, are looking despondent because Miss Ella McAdamB made a fly? ing trip to this place last week. Really, Miss Ella, it was too bad?come back and stay longer. And last, but not least, wo see a young lady wearing a funile such as only is caused '.iy tho presence of the young man from the island?ho was around here recently. Capers Evans, Esq., informed his neighbors a fow days ago that he would not work any more until it rained, but has gone to work again with renewed energy, and looking as happy as a king?it is a boy. Mr. J. B. McAdams was through hero re? cently ; ho is representing three different life insurance companies. Our people think they will live a long time yet, and Burtdidn't do a very good business in our midst. At last we have found out why some of our boys get home earlier than usual ^>n Sunday nights. At a cer? tain place, over the parlor door, hangs a sign that reada thus: "No courting al? lowed in this room after ten o'clock p.m." We have an ideaTthat 'tis the work of ono of hor mischievous brothers,, but tho boys leave promptly at ten. But the nesyhlng wo 2javo heard ]ately is tbat of a Wa w-ling a boy that a young man palled en her onco, and that she had to kiss him as an inducement for him to go home. Of course he took the hint, and D-w gets Bis kiss every time he goes, whether he leaves or not. \ Eyes and Ears.

Holland's Store Items. This community was shocked to hear of the accident that bofeli Mr. Thos. J. Seigler on last Thursday, the 5th inst. It appears that Mr. Seigler, Magill and Lowe were returning from squirrel hunting about dusk, and had to pass by Ed. Hol ey's house, which is on Mr. Seigler's place. Mr. Seigler stopped and was talking to Holey about some bad behavior he had been guilty of a day or two before, and Holey, without any provocation at all, struck Mr. Seigler a heavy blow on the left side of the head, just above tho ear, with a large ax, which felled Mr. Seigler to the ground, and while be was down Holey struck him two or three blows on the head with the poll of the axe, which rendered Mr. Seigler unconclous. Holey's wife, in the meantime, nicked up Mr. Seigler's rifle and shot at Mr. McGill at a distance of ten or twelve feet. Mr- Magill and Mr. Lowe, thinking Mr. Seigler was dead, ran home, a distance of half a mile, and gave the alarm. Mr. Seigler, at this writing, (the Sth) is still unconscious, and is in a oriticai condition, indeed. The many friends of Mr. Thos. McGu kin, who has been quite ill, will be glad to hear he is improving. Mrs. E. Wakefleld, who fell and hurt her hip some days ago, is improving slowly. The first pic nie of the season for this neighborhood came off vesterdav at Brown's Ferry, on the Savannah River. The crowd was estimated at about three hundred. Two hundred from Georgia and one hundred from South Carolina. The time was spent quite pleasantly in riding on the river, fishing on dry land, &Q. This neighborhood can boast of a great many young ladies, and the prettiest ones in the County. Fishing on the Savannah River has been good for the last week. Balm. Attention, Baptists.

Frequently a person is supposed to havo consumption when it is some other diseaso altogether that is reducing bis flesh and making him look pale- and thin. J. W. Yates, Tullahoma, Tenn., writes: "It does me good to praise Bo? tanic Blood Balm. It cured me ofan ab? scess on the lungs and asthma that troubled me two years and that other remedies failed to benefit." So you see it is sometimes well to try constitutional treatment No remedy is so good as B.
