Mr. William Lee. of Greenville, died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Skelton, in Atlanta, on Tuesday, 28th ult. His health had been bad for several years, and about . two months ago went to Atlanta to spend awhile with his sister. Mr. Lee was about 50 years of age, and was born and reared near Pendleton. In his young manhood he came to Anderson and engaged in busi? ness as a clerk for Sloan & Towers. At the beginning of the war he enlisted in the Palmetto Sharpshooters and served his country to the end. He resided in An? derson several years after the war, and then went to Honea Path, where he mer merchandized for a few years. Closing business at Honea Path, he moved to Greonville. and opened business there, which he continued until his health gave way. Mr. Lee, after the war, married Miss Julia Robinson, who died a number of years ago, leaving one son, Harry Lee, who now lives in Georgia. He.was a con-, sistent and energetic member of the Prea by^rian Church, and at the time of his death was serving as an elder of the Washington Street Church in Greenville. His remains were brought to Greenville and burifld there. Editor Williams, of the Greenville News, pays the following trib? ute to the memory of the deceased, every word of which we endorse: "The Almighty never made a better man than William Lee, of this city, whose death in Atlanta is reported to-day. "He had all the virtues that make men great and lives beautiful. He was true as steel, gentle and loyiug as a woman, a brave man who feared no dangers or losses and counted no odds in doing his duty, a faithful friend, an humble, consis? tent servant of God, purs in all his thoughts and words. If a human life can be spotless and blameless his was. We doubt if he had an enemy on earth. We know he never deserved one. "He did his part everywhere and al? ways and asked no rewards, returns or recognitions. He was good, and true and pure through and through, every inch a man and in every quality, motive and method a gentleman, "He endnred misfortune and Suffering without complaint, he waited for and met death without fear. If In the mysterious, wide beyond it is ordered that for any the gates of Heaven are opened without pro? bation or waiting, they swung wide as the soul of William Loe left its earthly habita? tion and the everlasting arms were ready to welcome this good, loving, faithful friend of his fellow man and servant of the Lord." At the Bar of Justice, As we went to press last week the case of George Crawford, charged with murder, was being tried.

Bethel on the following day._ ? x Belton Items. There will be an excellent entertain? ment by the Belton young people, in the shape of charades, at Stringer's Hall, on Friday night, July 15th. Everybody is invited to be present. We have just learned that on Friday night, Juno 17th, some rogue of the very lowest ond most cowardly sort, unlocked the pantry or store room of Miss Reb ecca Ann Kelley, living alone about two miles north of Belton, and stole one large mid? dling and one large ham, about 50 pounds of flour, a bushel of meal and some lard. Miss Kelley missed also a hen, taken the same night, and a few nights before that she lost three hens. It occurs to the minds of some honest, hard-working people that it is a good thing that there is justice in store hereafter for all such thieves. Dr. Chas. Manly preached a very able, and instructive sermon here last Sunday morning on "Understanding the Times and knowing what to do." On the even? ing of the same day Dr. Manly preached a very instructive sermon on "Christ's friends thinking that he was beside him? self." Meal's Creek people will please take no? tice that the pastor expects to protract the meeting from the fourth Sunday in this month. Rev. H. T. Smith, of Simpson villo, has kindly consented to assist the pastor in the meeting. Crops in this section of the country are good. Master Herbert, the little son of Dr. Harris, has been sick for several days. Wo hope the little fellow will soon be well again. Master Frank Breazealo, tbo little son of Mr. J. K. Breazealo, living three miles in the country, is now convalescing from a spell of fever. Wo are glad to learn that Frank will probably soon be himself again. Since the abundant rains in this section, tho weather is very pleasant. Mr. W. E. Breazeale, who has just re? turned from Paris, where ho has been taking a special course in mathematics, has been spending a few days with friends and relatives in Belton. Mr. Breazealo was once Principal of the Belton High School, and afterwards a teacher in Fur man University. Mr. Breazeale has many friends around Belton, and they are al? ways glad to see him. Tau. Real's Creek Items. Rey. T. H. Garrett preached an inter? esting sermon at this place Sunday after? noon. We have plenty of rain and everything is growing right ahead. Some of the farmers are through laying by their corn, but you bet they have to work tbeir cot? ton a little longer yet, for there is grass in it, and it has to come out before long. MIbs Nora Martin, one of Williamston's most popular young ladies, who has been spendiug a few days in this section, re? turned borne last week accompanied by her friend, Miss Allie Major. Mr. Frank Hall, of Anderson, paid a flying visit to our little town Sunday, but as his girl was off visiting he did not tarry long. Try it again, Mr. H., and may be she will be at home. There will be a pic nie at this place on Saturday, the 16th inst. The public are invited to come and bring well-filled bas? kets. Mr. Clifton Martin went to see his best girl Sunday. I think she answered "yes" from the way he came home smiling. 1 hope ehe did. Floyd's best girl must have stepped on his foot, as he can't wear one of his shoes. Miss Eula King, who has been visiting her cousin, Miss Ella Willingham, re? turned home last week. Clarence has done tied out a turkey to graze and feeds him nine times a day. He Bays he is going to fatten it for the pic nie. You must come down, Mr. Editor, and help eal it. He has done invited me to eat dinner with him. He is a fine cook and says it will pay aome good lady to get him. Let everybody holler hurrah forShep pard, and they can.get all that grass out of their cotton. Farmer's Lad. Townville Locals Mrs. S. R. Johnson, of this place, is vis? iting her father, Mr. Sneader, at Abbe? ville C. H., this week. Miss Dolly Knox, one of Fair Play's fair maidens,* has been spending awhile with Miss Delia Wright, of this place. Townville Baptist Church elected Prof. J. M. Fant, L. 0. Bruce, James Oantt and Lewis Mahaffey as delegates to the Saluda Association, which convenes with the Broadmouth Church on Tuesday be? fore the first Suuday in August. Mr. Arlington Milford, of Anderson, attended Church here Sunday laBt. Mr. Milford starts to Paltimore on the 5th inst., to attend the Medical College of that place. Arlington is a model young man. He graduated at the Patrick Military In? stitute, of Anderson, and is fully prepared for a medical course. Mr. W. A. Dickson, of South Union, passed through town on Sunday. Mr. G. W.

Miss Lina Campbell, a young lady liv? ing in Oconee, is very low with the fever. Old Rosin De Bow. Moseley Dots. Our school at this place closed Friday, 1st inst., and Mr. Bowen returned home Monday. We guess his best girl was-glad to see him. It has been asserted that much trifling courting is going on in this vicinity; that some of the young men mean nothing but present pleasure, but when a young man spends nearly half a day gathering a few choice plums and blackberries to send his best girl, we think that he evidently means business, and will not be surprised to see a marriage notice at an early date. Of course, we have no intention of calling his name, but thought it so funny when that girl admired him because he is so low and chunky, and you will laugh, too, Mr. Editor, when I tell you that he is-1 seven feet high. ' It is rumored that one of our popular young men will soon pluck from the gar? den of love one of the fairest Rosa's. We noticed something in the piper last week from some correspondent about some one getting soared at a muskrat's track (or rather a young man's). Well if you want some one to catch that muskrat, jnst let us know. We will send one of our Barnesites over and he'll certainly catch it if he has to jump in high water. One of our young ladies has been look? ing yeiy despondent for some time, but suddenly brightened up after receiving a letter from across the waters, and?well, it is a secret, and we are not allowed to tell it, but she says that some one else will carry tho stove wood and water after this year.
