After the marriage a reception was tendered tbe bridal party at the home of the bride. On Thursday tbe bride and groom left for a trip to Chicago and other points In the West. An exchange truly remarks that every Hoe in a newspaper cost something. If it is for the benefit of an individ? ual, it should be paid for. If tbe grocer was asked to contribute gro? ceries to one abundantly able to pay for them he would refuse. Tbe proprietor of a newspaper must pay for the free ad? vertising, if tbe beneficiary does not, and Jet it is one of the bardea; things to bo earned by many that a newspaper bus space in its columns to rent, and if rented for anything less than living rates would be as certainly fatal as for a landlord to furnish a house rent free. The police department of Anderson is a terror to evil doers.

Amount of fines turned into the city treasury, $177. Num? ber of days work on tbe streets, 187. which amounts to $93 50. estimated at 50 cents a day. Hence, tbe total money value of the fines for October amou nts to $270.50. Chief Rose and bis assistants are vigilant and efficient officers, and not roan^idayB pass that his Honor, Mayor Tolly, does not hold Court. The Elberton (Ga.) Star, of the 28th ult., say8: "Last Wednesday afternoon, at the home of the bride's father, Miss Lizzie Shirley was married to Mr. Osgood Grogan, Rev. J. H. Grognn officiating.

Maok, thesix-year-old so a of Mr. Clark Webb, who lives near Ptarcetown, met with a painful acoident last Sunday morn? ing, whereby he lost the third and fourth fingers of his right band. Mr. Webb and his children were at the wood-pile, and little Mack picked up a corn stalk and asked his father to cut in two with tbu axe. As Mr. Webb made the stroke tbe little fellow moved his hand in the way and the axe severed the fingers. The lit? tle finger was cut clear off, tbe next one hung by the flesh and the flesh of the middle finger was slightly cut. Dr. John? son was called in, but having no surgical Instruments to properly amputate the bones, he bandaged the hand and Mr. Webb brought the little eafferer to this city, where Dr. Nardin dressed tbe wound? ed fingers. Our latest information in that the little fellow is doing well, and will soon be able to use his hand again. The Cosmopolitan Dramatic Company, supporting the talented young Southern actress, Miss Lilian Pearce, opened an engagement in the Opera House Monday evening, and was greeted by a large and I appreciative audience. "Black Flag" was the title of the play presented, and it was highly enjoyed by everybody.

To night a most laughable comedy, "Little Ferret," will be presented, and will conclude the engagement of the Com pany in Anderson. Miss Pearce, who is a daughter of Col. S. A. Pearce, of Colum? bia, has achieved a high place in her pro? fession, and her sweet, winsome manner and dainty acting wins frequent applause. The Company throughout is a very good one, and should it ever return to Ander? son our people will give it a good patron? age. Death has Invaded another happy home and taken therefrom a devoted wife and an affectionate mother. We allude to tbe death of Mrs. Eugenia Witherspoon, the beloved wife of Dr. R. G- Witherspoon, I who died at her home, in Rock Mills j Township, last Thursday, after an illness of several weeks with typhoid fever. She was in the 35th year of her age, and was a daughter of the late Thos. H. Anderson. Mrs. Witherspoon was born and reared in the section where she died, and was per? haps one of the best known ladies of that section. As a true Christian woman, she Eossessed many noble virtues of both eart and mind, and her kind, gentle dis? position was praised by every acquaint? ance. She was ever ready to assist tbe needy and distressed, and those who knew her best loved her most, In her girlhood days she joined the Roberts Presbyterian Church, and throughout her life was a most zealous, consistent mem? ber. Her remains were laid to rest in the Roberts Churchyard on Friday morning. A devoted husband and two little chil? dren, one of whom is an infant three months old, survive her. Those who are left to mourn her untimely death will ever cherish the deepest love and tbe fondest memories of one whose mission in life was to brighten and gladden the hearts of others.

I Tin Last of tbo Court of General Sessions. The Jary tbat sat in the B. P. Dacus case failed to agree on a verdict after six or eight hours deliberation and a mistrial was ordered. H. E.

Immediately on the adjournment of the Court of Sessions Friday morning the Court of Common Pleas was opened. The Court was then adjourned until Monday morning and Judge Aldrich, in company with Col. M. P. Tribble, went up to Clem Bon College during the recess. Monday morning Court was organized and Juries Nob. 1 and 2 drawn. The first case tried was tbat of S. D. BrownleB and E. W.

Moseloy Items; We are knocking at the door of your sanctum for admittance, Mr. Editor, and will ask you to excuse us for leaving the farmers at home this week. They all have plenty of corn, fine turnips with an abundance of potatoes and garden vege? tables, all are in good health, and, as an Irishman would say, the most unhappy people of Barnes are those who do not live here. Preparations are being made for a recep? tion at this place in the near future. As soon as we can learn the particulars we will send them up. Our Devil is responsible for tbo remark "that the woman who never takes any in? terest in the fashions needs medicine." An effort ia being made to procure an organ for the Baptist Chnrch at this place. There are people who seem to have an idea tbat they attract attention in Heaven for their piety when selling plnders at a oolored Church festival. One of our townsmen has suddenly de? veloped a fondness for fishing in theSa vannan River. We think his wife is be? coming interested, too, becase the last time he went she hitched up and drove over after him. Miss Fannie Galloway is spending a few weeks with her cousin, Mrs. A. A. Manldin. One of the writers last week said a couple bad met for tbe first time in two years. We could mention seven different couples who have met recently after a two year's absence, and they all report a pleas? ant time. By tbe way that writer forgot to mention a couple that mot last fourth Sunday afternoon the first time in two month's. We did not notice any joy at that meeting, and feel safe in saying that he never got a nickel when he left. Some of our people attended the Union Meeting at First Creek Church last Satur? day and Sunday. Miss Mollie Morgan returned yesterday from a week's visit with friends at Bleckley. There are several tine hogs in this vicin? ity. Our people se?m determined to have their Bmoko houses nearer home next year. Some of us will tell you, Mr. Edi? tor, when to come for ribs and backbone. [ Capt. J. C. Stribling's article, Mr. Edi i tor, in your issue of tbe 19th ult., under j the heading of a "A Dog Law" i3 being i favorably commented on by some of our people, especially with those who keep no j dogs. Ono morning recently while one [ of these gentlemen was ploughing a dog I passed near him and he at once decided to I act upon tbe suggestion "that any dog , found without a label be shot," and I mounted his mule and started in pursuit, shouting "mad dog." We have overy I reason to believe that the dog was mad I and seemed very anxious to reaoh home, j Howbeit the man didn't catch him, but I his neighbors are laughing about it yet. Mrs. D. A. McAlister will leave next ! Thursday on a trip to Eureka. Wonder if she will bring us a Rose when (shore turns. Heigh-ho j There Is a time in overy young man's lifo when for a while he thinks he is a second Solomon. He soon gets over it, though, when be begins to find out bow many kinds of a fool he is. I was awakened to that fact not long since, when a lady friend proceeded to show the many faults and errors of my way, and actually convinced me that I was not only foolish, but curious, and prescribed matrimony as a remedy sure to cure. I was not long in finding one that just suited me and lost no time in asking her to wilt, and went nearly wild | with joy when she promised to marry me j on the 3lat of November. But when I tell my friends that I am going to quit single 1 blessedness and try double cussedness, they grin and say that November has but thirty days, and now I am going to find Dave and ask him if ho won't kick, Moss. Flashes From SI> )h. From the looks of the corn piles, wo are going to have hog and hominy for next year's use. That is the way to live. Corn sbuckings will soon bo ovor, then frolic ks and shindigs will be the fashion. Co*.ton is nearly all out, and our farm? ers at e selling as fast as it ia gathered. As for jokes, I'll bet a peck of goobers Sbiloh can't be beat. A very popular young man carried his best girl topreaoh ing cce night recently. He asked her If he could come to bbq her, She roplied, yes if he would buy her a pair of suspend ! ers. The girls havo caught the suspender fever, and are now wearing them Just as ' big as her oity sisters. Old Shiloh she is shouting, She's hollerin' long and loud. I The girls have donned the galluses 1 And are marching through the crowd. Mr, Editor, if you want to see some of the prettiest girls in the State just come to Shiloh some Sunday, and I'll bet an eel skin lyou'll get stuck before you leave. But you'll have to wait 'till I catoh his eelship. We heard a young lady say if a certain young man didn't shave she was going to swap him olf. She says when sbo goes riding with him the wind makes a terrible racket when it blows through his whiskers, and that it keeps her in a nervous state. Ho friend B. if yon want to keep iu her good graces you'd better tako those annoying whiskers off. j We thiiik if" our people- want a school they had betterbe hustling around trying to pet a good teacher. Nothing is ho es? sential to the welfare and prosperity of our couuty as educating the young. Ta < rents, do you ever think how much ch ' volves on you as to the lives your ehi! ; dren will lead when they have" gone r?ul j in !he world to seek their fortunes? We j have a pood place for a sbool. Tust look at the children around here. Very itoon they will be men and women and will take our places. By all means Irt us go to work and get up a school while the op? portunity lasts. I hope the parents will consider this matter and ere long we will have a school that we will not only be proud of, but the County also. Let us have a 'school if we have to have it nt a great sacrifice. Hurrah for Cleveland ami tariff reform. _Sallik Wagstaff. Lebanon items. The Church at Lebanon ba3 wisely chosen for their pastor ltcv. W. B. Haw? kins for tho ensuing year. This will be three years he has served this Church, and we think he has done much good. Prof. Holland's school opened on the 31st. We hope be will have a good school. Prof. Hamlin, of Brcvard, N. OL is in this community visiting his many friends. Mr. Willie S. Hutchinson, of Honea Path High School, has been at home for some time under the treatment of Dr. Duckworth. We hope ho will soon be well again. ? Well, Mr. Editor, as Lebanon has failed to be represented in your valuable paper for several weeks, we will now attempt to show up our colors. We cannot afford to be loft out of such a paper as the Intel? ligencer. I guess your former corres? pondent won't object?at least we hope not; if so we will beg pardon and retire. Our corn is gathered and stowed away for future uso, and tho cotton is on tho road of exhaustion. Well, what are we farmers going to do for awhile? Will we lie around tbe fire and nurse our hands and thoughts? No ! Gather your axe and march to the old field and split stove-wood for your perse vering wife and mother, and not have them to scold and bog for something to cook your rations with. Don't a great many of the readers find it a di?icult mat? ter to keep enough firo-wood and stove wood for sister Jane or Susie to get break? fast with. I do. First thing in the morn? ing is: Jim, you or John, or Sam, one, must split some stove-wood. There ain't a stick in tho box, and oh ! how that does go against the grain. Now, boys, let us take the advice prescribed and put an end to that ever horrid cry "more stove- wood" and give our guilty conscience rest. Yes, and by the way, a right good sized wheat patch should be sow>3d this month. I tbink most of tbe farmers are contem? plating sowing more wheat than usual this season. Several killing frosts have beon visible upon our mother earth, and has told the tale on many green herb3. Hog killing time comes in with heavy frosts we be? lieve, that is if in proper order?hogs, we mean. The health of our community is very good at this writing, with the exception of two or three caae3. Mr. M. B. Jackson is on the improved list, wo are glad to say. We hope his sickness will soon be over and good health his golden reward. The hunter's horn breaks the stillness of theie dark nights, and a fat '"possum" serves a nice feast for dinner next day. It is all our sportsmen can do to bold up for the expiration of tbe game law, and we can speak well of their law-abiding na? ture. Mr. G. N. Williams ha3 just arrived home from the bedside of a very ill brother, who has beon sick for some time and is not any better at last news. One of our boys is going to "get off," we fully believe, by his very frequent visits to his best girl's homo. He can be seen go? ing down the road every Sunday morning, and sometimes during the week for a rarity. Owing to the Union Meeting at Hope well and Cowan's meeting near Denver, the crowd at Lebanon was very small last Sunday. Like some other correspondents, sta? tionery is getting pretty slim just now, but you catch me saying one word about it 1 If agreeable all around we will come again some time in the near future.

Presentment of the Crand Jury; To his HoiJ?) James A'.Jrich, presiding Judge: TIic grand jury I);';-' leave to report that we have passed on nil (lie lulls submitted to us. By committee wc lihve examined the books of the couuty officers and submit the following report: "We have satisfied ourselves that all funds collected and disbursed by our coun? ty officials arc properly accounted for upon the records. That the bonds given by said officers are good and sufficient. "We find in the ollice of the Clerk of Court the records are conveniently arranged ami as well kept as the limited space allotted for this purpose will admit. There.is cer? tainly want of room for the work, and for the proper preservation of the records of this ollice. "A new index book after a letter system is very much needed in the office of the Probate Judge, and we recommend that such a book be purchased and the re-index? ing be done at once. "We note an ever increasing expense in? curred by the county in the purchase of fuel and blankets and repeated repairs for the jail, necessary tor the proper care of the prisoners, caused by the dilapidated condi? tion af this building. "In connection with the ollice of County Auditor we are advised that grcat'difficulty is experienced in getting suitable township boards of assessors, as no compensation is allowed for this very important work. These boards should be composed of com? petent men. familiar with property in their sections. Kcturns as now received are in? complete in many instances and consider? able property escapes assessment or is assessed und'.t value." Complaint is made to us that the bridge across Brushy Creek at Rosamond's mill is in a dangerous condition. Also Tippen's bridge in Pendleton township. Further complaint is made that in certain pnvls of the county the dead timber is allowed to overhang certain public roads. Wn recommend that the law he enforced to remove obstructions in Cox's and Fox's creeks running through the lands of Mrs. W. D. Evins. We have by committee visited the poor house and county jail. At the poor house wc find forty-seven (17) inmates, who are well cared for, and the farm and buildings in good condition. Wc recommend the digging of a now well oil the premises of the poor house to furnish water for the cookiii};; department of the negro quarters. We find the jail crowded with prisoners, more room badly needed anil the present building insecure. We would express our thanks to his Honor, the presiding Judge, and the So? licitor for courtesies extended during this term of the Court. Gr. W. Sullivan, Foremau. In Bleinorlain. Messrs. Editors : My heart was made sad on last Thursday whon I was inform? ed that Mrs. Wallio Witherspoon was dead. My mind at onco ran back to childhood clays, when I know her as a schoolmate?a bright, interesting, kind hearted little girl; and later on develop? ing inlo a perfect specimen of woman? hood. She became the wife of Dr. R. G. Witherspoon, and lived happily together until Thursday morning, tho 27th of Oc? tober, 1S92, when tho God who gave her noblo spirit called her home. Mrs. Witherspoon was the daughtor of tho lalo Thos. H. Anderson, Esq? and was at tho time of her death about 35 years of age. Sho was n consistent mem? ber of the Presbyterian Church, and was iu the strictest seuae of tho word a most oxeniplary Christian woman. Sho wor? shiped and associated with all orthodox Christians, and stood ready at all times with open hands to render assistance to tho suffering and needy, cousequently sho was loved and admired by a large circle. Liko the good Samaritan she was always by tbe bedside of the suffering, speaking words of comfort, love and cheer, mingling her tears with theirs, in dark and weary hours she was not for? getful to commend them to Him who doeth all things well. Taking her life as a whole she proved herself to bo an amiable, modest nod most lovable woman ; an uprif*'t Chris? tian, a devoted companion, a good neigh? bor, ever letting her light shine, proving her faith by her dally walk ; and though her body lies to-day silent in tbo grave at Robert's Church, aud while her tongue is dumb, and her onco useful body is hid from our view, hor memory still lives, and will be a living witness bearing tes? timony that tho wisest philosophers can? not invalidate, nor tbo violcnco of tho swiftest foes destroy. May the sorrow? ing husband and two little children bo kept under the shadow of the Savior's love, and at last join her on the other shore. S.
