Miss Jennie Zeigler died at the home of her sister, Mrs. J. B. Marshall, at Pied? mont, last Sunday night from typhoid fever. She was about 20 years of age, and a faithful member of the Methodist Church. She was highly esteemed by her friends and acquaintances, who deeply re? gret her death. Her remains were carried to Abbeville and interred in the family bnrying ground. The fire alarm Bouuded Sunday after? noon about 2 o'clock. The firemen re? sponded promptly, aud soon located the fire at the Anderson Ginnery, near the electric light station. The fire was con? fined to the bales on the outside of the gin houfte, and a stream of water soon quenched it. Twelve or fifteen bales were damaged slightly. Tbe fire was caused by some boys carelessly handling matches. The Newberry Herald, of last week, says: "Last Saturday while Messrs. H. C. and Jason Summers were driving, near Pen die ton. the horse shied and threw them out, and the buggy over them, down a steep place in the side'of tb' voad about eight or ten feet, Jason j/6e upon bis uncle Clint, who receiveclj^painfnl injury of the hip. Mr. Summers is trnly un? fortunate, as he has just about recovered from a serious fracture of his ribs and a painful fall some time later." A little son of Mr. Alonzo Herron died at his home in Varennes Township on Tuesday night, 11th inst., after a brief ill? ness with diptberia, aged three years. I The remains were interred in the Cross Roads Churchyard on Wednesday, the fu? neral services being conducted by Rev. J. D. Crout. Mr. and Mrs. Herron have many sympathizers in thnir bereavement, and they have the consolation of knowing that their little darling is now being ten? derly cared for by the Saviour. Mr. M. B. Com pi on, who moved from Fork Township t Texas two or three years ago, died in that State on the 30th September of fever, and the announce? ment of bis death will be read with sor? row by his old friends at d acquantances In this County. He was about forty years of age, and was a worthy, upright man.. The letter that brought the news of his death also stated that Mr?. Comptou was very sick, and that it was feared that she would not recover. Tbe deceased is the father of Mr. Will. Comptou, who lives in Fork Township. The store of Mr. J. T. Latimer, at Lowndesville, was burned to the ground last Saturday night at 12 o'clock. There had been no fire in the building during the day preceding, and the general opin* Ion is that it was the work of an incen? diary. There was some insurance, but not sufficient to cover the loss by at least one-third. The boarding house of Mrs. 0. B. Horton was saved from a similar fate by the untiring efforts of the citizens. It stood within forty yards of the bnroed building, and was literally scorched by the excessive heat. Walhalla Courier: "Mrs. J. B. Sitton died over thirty years ago and was buried at tbe Old Stone Choren. Last week her remains were taken up and re-interr? ed in the Presbyterian cemetery at Pen dleton in the family plat, beside her bus band, who was buried there a few months ago. A beautiful and appropriate monu? ment, erected by their children, marks their last resting place. Tbe remains of their daughter, Mrs. W. W. Russell, who died thirteen years ago, were also remov? ed from the Stone Church and re-interred beside her parents." We extend sympathy to tbe jurors who will be on duty at the coming term of Court. Their duties are severe and im? portant and tbe accommodations for their comfort are not good. If it is cold enough for a fire, they may prepare to be baked. If they need fresh air, they had better carry in a supply with them. If the Jury rooms don't make them reach a verdict whether they are atrreed or not, they are heroic citizens. We think a defendant should have the right to refuse to come to trial before a Jury that was not comforta? bly accommodated both at their seats and in their room. It is rnmored that the tralu p?hicb, until recently, ran between Anderson and Greenville, will be put on again next Sun? day. Postmaster Russell made complaint to Mr. Terrel, Superintendent of tbe Rail? way Mail Service, in reference to the great inconvenience of our present mail facilities from the'East and North, and asked him to use his efforts with the railroad officials in getting the train put back on. He promised to do so. Tbe agents of tbe rail? road company here have not yet recaiv ed any information about restoring tbe train, but some of tbe railroad men say it will be done.

Jameson, who lives jost below Honea Path, in Abbeville County, was in the oity Tuesday with a car load of cotton, and was a welcome visitor to our sanctum. He reports a short crop of cotton in bis section, but says a good crop of corn has been bar vested. Mr. Jameson is a son of Col. J. Jameson, of this County, bot a few years ago he took unto himself u most excellent young lady for a wife and moved to his present home. He is now the happy father of three children. Anderson Co an ? ty never tnrned out a more noble, up? right young man. He received a good training under his father on the farm, aud as a consequence is a successful farmer, making his own "hog and hominy" and a good surplus crop of cotton. It always gives us pleasure to hear a good report of our old boy companions. A telegram was received In the city Sunday afternoon announcing the death of Capt, E. L. Parker, which occurred at Summerville, S. C? after quite an illness, aged 63 years. Capt. Parker served through the war as the commander of tbe Marion Artillery of Charleston, and was a brave, gallant officer, as well as a genial, chriBtian gentleman. For the past oight or ten years he has held tbe position of clerk of the street department in Charles- I ton. He lived in An demon for several years, and was highly esteemed by bis I friends and acquaintances. Two daugh- j ters enrv've him, one of whom is Miss Sue Parker, who resides with her aunt, I Mrs. R. E. Belcher, in this oity, Miss Parker has been very sick for several weeks, and was unable to be with her father in his illness or to attend his funeral. Her friends deeply sympathize with her in her sore bereavement. Richards & Pringle's Georgia Minstrels will appear in the Opera House on Thurs? day evening, 27th inst., and those who at? tend may expect a most enjoyable enter? tainment. The Austin (Tex.) Statesman speaks of the troupe as follows: "Yester? day afternoon in a matinee, and last night, j the Georgia Minstrels held the boards at | Millett'e. This troupe has visited Austin once before this season, and on this, its j second tour it is greatly improved, both as repards its songs and ludicrous situations. It is a bright, olean and thoroughly enjoy? able minstrel show. Its great charm lies I in tbe fact that it adheres more to the true old minstrel than do most of the burnt cork combinations now travelling over I the country. Minstrels are intended to impersonate the negro as he was and as he is?not the introduction of specialties, as so many of the combinations now spring on the people and call minstrel per? formances ; and for true, genuine break-1 downs and jests the Georgia Mlnstrela ura "there" in great shape, and the perform- j ance proved eminently satisfactory to the large audience present." Tickets will be on sale at the store of Jas. P. Gossett & Co. Admission prices, 50 and 75 cents. j The Walhalla Nem, of last week saya: "It W&8 our pleasure last Monday night at Seneca to meet with Mr. James G. Laugh lin and son James B., of College Springs. Page County, Iowa, who had spent about ten days visiting Mr. Quincy Hammond, the Dalrymple families, and other rela? tives near Anderson. Mr. Laughlin, Sr., was born in 1805 in what was then Pen? dleton District, now Anderson County, i and only a few miles from the spot whore tbe city of Anderson now is, and in tbe following year was moved by his parents to t he place where he now lives. He rep? resents the wheat crop as exceedingly fine; 03t crop moderate and corn crop be j low an average, and the P Boplea' Party as I 1 having a foothold, Mr, LangUlin is in ! his eighty-seventh year, highly intelli? gent Bvd remarkably well preserved. During the interview he said: "I have come eighteen hundred miles to visit the spot where I first Baw the light; its his? tory, as related to me by my parents, makes it dear to me beyond description and the desire to se9 it has increased with age. I am now on ray return to Iowa, and I regret my inability to contrast the conveyance which brought me to see my birth place, and the scenes encountered enrouts, with the wagon train that bore my infant person to the great West eigh? ty-six years ago." Will Johnson, a negro tramp, stole a male from a tenant on Col. R. B. A. Rob innon's plantation, in Martin Township, Monday night. On Tuesday morning the thief came to tbe oity, and, after making two or three efforts to trade the mule, put it into Mr. W. B. McGrnder's stables. Col. Robinson also came to the city Tues? day morniug, and while standing in the I Sylvester Bleckley Co's. store, near the side entrance on East Benson street, tell? ing Mr. Jas. A. Pearson about the stolen mule and the suspected thief, the negro came walking up the street. Mr. Pearson hailed him and started towards him, closely followed by Col. Robinson. The negro, peeing tbe latter, turned and swift? ly ran down tbe street, thence up McDuf fie street to the stand-pipe, and then down to Main street. Mr. Pearson and Col. Robinson followed, and the former finally succeeded, with the assistance of officer McGee, who happened to be coming down the street, in catobing tbe thief near Mr. D. S. Maxwell's residence. The negro was brought back and locked up in the station house. He acknowledged stealing the mule, told where he had stabled it, and said he came from Statesville, N. C. While running np MoDoffie street he dropped a pistol from his pocket, which Col. Robinson picked up. He has been committed to Jail to await his trial. I Moseley News. It has been a good while, Mr. Editor, since yonr readers have heard anything from our little town, during which time we have had a few deaths, some sickness, muoh courting but no marriages, many I visitors and good revivals, together with yarious other happenings, and yet our correspondent has kept quiet. Many of our people who have been preaching "That a rolling Btmo never gathers any moss" are awakening to tbe fact "That a setting hen never grows fat," and a goodly number of them are prepar? ing to move this winter. Oar clever blacksmith, too, has decided that he will have to move, or else they must all learn to swim, and requests us to say that next year he will be found where Mr. J. T. Simpson now resides. Oar Mr. Morgan has pat up a first-class grist mill, and is now prepared to grind your corn, gin your cotton, buy your seed, and our old maid merchant will sell you goods at and below New York cost and thank you, too; When you come this way give him a trial. Our farmers have been V3ry busy gath? ering and selling their cotton and other farm produce, and are trying to settle their indebtedness, but we think the fel? low capped the climax when be went to j Anderson last week and bought a very costly lamp and explained to bis friends that he needed a light to see how to get out of debt When he reached home he ! found it badly broken, and now he has the appearance of n wiser and sadder man. Miss Lillle Huffman recently purchased ! a fine organ. j Also Mr. Loverick Young has been pre? sented with a vocal organ. It is a girl, and he is defying the world to produca one that will surpass it. The dwelling of Mr. R. Lnthor Evans, together with contents and one bale of cotton, was destroyed by fire on last Sat? urday afternoon. Fire was also discovered in Mr. Mor? gan's gin a few days ago. Fortunately it was discovered and extinguished before auy damage was done. Mr. O. Z. has beon circulating promis? cuously in our midst of late, and the writer thinks he sees coming signs of an? other jug of furniture. We are awaiting developments. Mr. J. L. Haynie, of Greenville, was in our midst last week. Parties wishing to purchase an organ or piano will do well to consult Mr. Haynie before buying else? where. At this writing Miss Annie Morgan, who has been dangerously ill, is slowly recov? ering. We bopebhe will soon bo restored to health again. Mr. Archibald Pettigrew is suffering from a severe stroke of paralysis. When last beard from he was no better. Moss. Deep Creek Items. As I haven't troubled yon in a long time, dear Mr. Editor, please allow me a little space in yonr ever interesting and valuable paper to Bay a few words. There are not many events happening in this community, and as a consequence news is scarce. All tbe cotton is nearly picked out, and the short crop and low prices is very discouraging to we farmers. The corn crop, however, is good, and everybody has made more than usual. We have also made plenty of molasses in this section, and the farmers are beginning to realize that they can make a living at home and on their own land. One of oar neighbors, Mr. Williamson, bad tbe misfortune to get one of his bar? rels of Borghum burned a few nights ago. He has several, more barrels, however, and a lot of cane seed, wbioh he thrashed to feed to his stock. He is a successful farmer. ' . Mrs. Ephraim McCoy has been very low with fever. Dr. Witherspoon, the attending physician, will soon have her up again. The Doctor is so good and kind that all of bis patients fall in love with him. Send for him when you get Mr, Willie Bolt has tilled his crib with a, Qno lot of corn, and has a fiuo cotton crop. Mr. George Gsines hau built a neat and substantial L on his place and moved into it. He expects in the near future to build the front, and then be will have a dwelling house that any person would be prond of. I desire to s<iy a few words to the Cen? ter ville correspondent in behalf ofbrasB buttons and velvet stripes" alluded to in his last items. I fear he is only jealous because he can't wear them, If he would go to school where brass buttons and vel? vet stripes are worn he would learn some sense, and would not covet his neighbor's apparel. The wearer of "braeo buttons and velvet stripes" can go to the parlor and Bit with his company, and I presume the Centerviile correspondent is expecting to have to quit the piazza and go to the kitchen. If I were the Centerviile cor? respondent I imagine I would feol as if I had better be at home and let my mama feed me on potiicker and wait until I got a little larger. Then tbe Ashury preacher would not have to reprove you and tell you and your little girl to stop talking. I hope you have not forgotten when you were told to keep your feet off of the pews while at prayer meeting. The wearer of "brass buttons" was never gniity of such aots, The Centerviile correspondent would do well to stop writing unless he could give us some news worth reading. I leave it with you, Mr. Centerviile corres? pondent, and hope you will improve in writing your items and get some "brass buttons and velvet stripes." D. C, TownvUIe Locals. Miss Mamie Watson, of Edgeficld, S. C.j is assisting Prof, Rico in his school at this place. Mr. Wf E, Fsnt and bride have moved in their new residence on main streot. Prof. J. M. Pant will commence his school at this place on the 31st of Octo? ber. The Prof, tells me that tho outlook for a good school is very encouraging. Miss Annie Campbell, of Oconee County, is spending awhilo with S. G. Bruco, at this place. We are glad to learn that Purman Mc Leskey, who has beon very sick is better. We aro sorry to learn that our estoemed friend, Capt. H. R. Vandivor, is no bettor, The farmers say that the ootton crop in this section is cut off about half. But the corn orop is hotter, and I think with economy tho people will pull through alright. Mr. Evans Hunt, of Greenwood, S. C, has ? been spending awhilo with his mother at this place. A man that won't pay his preacher, his editor and the Bruoo boys will nover got to Heaven as long as he lives.

As I haven't seen auy commuuicaliun in your valuablo columns, Mr. Editor, from Pelzer, I will try to givo 3'ou some of tho happenings of our town. Politics has now Bottled down and everything sooms as palm and lively around Pelzor as ever. We are having some most beautiful weather for tho farmers to gather their crops, and we think thoy are making good use of it. Cotton is being brought in for salo very fast, considering the shortness of the crop. Wo are glad to Fee tho farmers taking the right movo in planting inoro corn and loss cotton. Our friend, Dr. Widemnn, had a com shucking ono night last week and shuck? ed out about 250 bushels of corn. That looks like living. Rov. Mr. Stewart, Pastor of tbe Pres bytorian church at this place, has been very ill for some time, but wo are glad to learn that he is convalessont. Tho Baptist people of this place aro erecting a very handsome new church, which will bo completed at an early date. Rev. Mr. Burts is protracting a series of meetings at this place. Rev. Mr. Mar? tin of Abbeville is assisting him. Ke is an eloquent young man and preached a Btriking sermon Monday night from theso notable words "Prepare to meet thy God." Everybody present seemed to enjoy the meeting and was very atten? tive. Mr. J. H. Woodsido is having a very haudsome dwelling houso erected near Pelzer. Well, Mr. Editor, I will close for this time, as this is my first attempt to write. If this escapes tho waste basket I will try again when I have more news. Bull Hbad. ? Special excursion rates on railroad'to Fair at Seneca, October 2tith and 27th. Flashes From Shilob. As Kildee and Lucile have discontin? ued writing I will give you the news, Mr. Editor. Everything around here is calm and serene. Several young ladie3 are talking about what kind"presents they aro goiug to give their fellows for Christmas. Look out, Willie, you are going to receive a haud? some Bhaving sot. One of our belles paid a visit to Pierce town recently. She says she likes the young gents so well that she is going back in the near future. Look out, boys, there are more girls coming down; bo sore and have on hand plenty of walnuts, hickory nuts, 'lasses and pop corn. It is leap year and the girls like to pop. Three of our prettiest girls went 'opos? sum hunting one night not long ago. They heard a rabbit run very cIobo by them, and became frightened and struck out for home. When they came to a branch imagine their feelings when they found themselves in a pond of water about three feet deep. Mr. Editor, I would like to tell you who they are, but I promised not to tell. Friend Bob says he received a nice present in the form of a cravat. Ho says if he had a standing collar and a beaver hat he could git tbar. Smith was in town the other day sport? ing under bis beaver. He reminded me of a corn stalk with a churn on top of it. The boys have quit walking and gone to riding donkeys. The boys were sadly disappointed in not receiving their bouquets as usual last Sunday, for Smith came up and cleared these diggins out. He didn't leave a broom straw. He is a hustler. I will have to close, as it is gelLing late. I will write again in the near future. Sallte Wacjstaff. The Anderson Coanty Singing Convention. Editors Intelligencer : It was tho writer's good fortune to attend the an? nual meeting of the Anderson County Singing Convention at Neal's Creek Church last Sunday. We arrived on tho grounds about 11 o'clock, and already tho house was filled to its utmost seating ca? pacity, anJ. a goodly number, who wore not bo fortunate as to procure seats, were standing at the doors and windows, ea? gerly striving to get full benefit of tho sweet strains of musio, which seemed to fill the whole atmosphere round about. Truly "there was music flying in the air." On the day preceding Mr. John Eskew was elected President of the Convention to succeed Rev. D. Weston Hiott, the be? loved President whoso pastoral duties prevented his attending further. We predict a bright future for tho Conven? tion under the leadership of the now President, who will spare no cfibrt to make it a graud success, bis heart and soul being onthused in this noble work. The music was led by Messrs. Milford, ClinkBcales, McLane, Eskew, Campbell and King, of this County, and Prof. J. L. Haynie, of Groenyille. Prof. Haynio's presence and siuging added much to the ploaaure of the day. Each of the leaders did their part in an admirable manner, assisted by an able choir, who seomed to outer fully Into tho spirit of the songs. At 1 o'clock a recess of two hours was taken for dinner, which was spread in tho beautiful grove on the church grounds, and tho Neol'b Creek peoplo fully sus? tained their- enviable reputation in this respect, for a bettor and more bountiful feast of good things to eat was never set before a waiting people. A resolution of thanks was extended by tho Convention to the peoplo of that community for their unboundod hospi? tality and acts of kindness shown thorn during its stay iu thoir midst. Late in the afternoon the parting hymn, "God be with you 'till wc meet again," was sung, led by Prof. Clinkscalos, and a short and tender prayer was offered by Wm. Eskew, and thus passed into histo" ry ono of tho most pleasant and profitable meetings of tho Anderson County Sink? ing Convention. E. V.
