Mr. John D. David died at Us home in this city last Tuesday night about 10 o'olodk, after an illness of abou t two weeks with typhoid pneumonia. The announce? ment or his death was a great shock to his friends, many of whom did not know of his illness. It was only two weeks ago that Ids handsome, rooua; form could be seen pacing our streets as a member of the oJty polloe, doing his duty faithfully. Mr. I*k id was about 33 years of age, and was a native of Hart County, Ga. He came to Anderson twelve or fifteen years ago. A few years ago he married Miss Mamie Stephens, eldest daughter of Mr. D. M. Stephens, of this city, who, with two little children, are left to mourn his death. Mr. David was a most upright, hoi jrable man, and was highly esteemed by his friends and acquaintances.

Mr. Vandiver is an excellent citi? zen, and we rewet to see him leave our County. Wherever he may cant bis lot, we wish be and his family much success and happinesa. The Willlamston correspondent of the Greenville Ncu's says : "At a recent con? ference held by the congregation of the Baptist Church of Williamston, tbe Rev. D. W. Hiott was unanimously re elected to their pulpit for another year. Al? though he has not yet accepted tbe call, it is the sincere wish of the entire town, even of all tbe different denominations, that he may do so, as a more able minis? ter of tbe gospel, and a more thorough Christian gentleman is hard to find." Rev. Chp.a. B. Smith, pastor of the Methodist Church, will preach a sermon especially to young men next Sunday night. All young men are cordially in? vited to attend tbe service, and they may expsot to bear a sermon that is both inter? esting and instructive. Mr. Smith Is a young man himself, and during his four year's pastorate in Anderson has mani? fested a deep interest in the welfare of the Jonng men, all of whom highly esteem im. Take our advice, yonng man, and go and hear Mr. Smith. The R. & D. R. R. will sell reduced rate round trip tickets to Atlanta during the "Indian Summer Carnival', in that city.

Mr. J. R. Haynes, of Gresnvillo, rode from that oity to Anderson on his bicycle last Snnday morning, coming by way of Piedmont and Piercetown. The distance is about 32 miles. Hu was on tbe road only five hours. He rode from Greenville to Piedmont, a distance of 11 miles, in one bonr. He crossed two atrtams without dismounting. A portion of the road was so sandy that he "had to get down and lead his horse." After a short stay in the dty he mounted his graceful and noiseless steed and started to Piedmont. Mr. Robert Stevenson, who lives two miles north of town, brings us a speci? men of the Yellow Bunch Yam, a new variety of potato for this section. The pe? culiarity of this potato is that it has very little vine, and looks when growing some? thing like the pinder vine, very little of tbe vine touching the ground, which is an improvement over tbe old style, as not much strength is lost by taking root. Mr. Stevenson had 480 bills, from which be gathered fourteen bushels. The land was very poor sandy land, manured in tbe drill. The cultivation was tha ordinary cultivation of potatoes. Walhalla Courier : "Prof. J- W. Gaines and Miss Cora Matbowson were married in tbe New Westminster Baptist Church, at 8 o'olock p. m , October 25, by Rev S. Y. Jameson, assisted by Rov. W. W. Leathers. Prof. Gaines ia a graduate of Furman University and has charge of tbe Westminster High School, and is held in high esteem by the community; Miss Cora is a graduate of the Greenville Fe? male College and is one of Westminster's most popular young ladies, and the large congregation that filled the house to wit? ness the ceremony was quite complimen? tary tt tbe young eonple." A umsll cabin on Dr. W. H. Nardin's Eremises, near tbe cotton platform at tbe ;. & D. R. R., was bnrned Tuesday even? ing about 7 o'clock. When the fire alarm was sounded the flames were breaking through the roof of tbe cabin, and it soon bnrned to tbe gronnd. The cabin was occupied by a negro, who saved none of bis household goody. It is supposed tbe fire was caused from a defective ohimney. Tbe taremen turned out promptly and kept the fire confined to tbe cabin. The plat? form near by was covered with cotton, but fortunately the wind was not blowing and everything was dampened by the rain. The Greenville News, of Saturday, ?aj<*: "Solicitor M. F. Ansel, of the eighth Cir? cuit, has prepared hie annual statement, which has been forwarded to the attorney general to be submitted to the Legislature. From this it appears that he has disposed of 354 cases, of which number 193 were convictions, 65 acqnittals and 96 no-bille and discontinuances. Twenty murder cases have been tried, resulting in eleven acquittals, four convictions of murder and five convictions of manslaughter. This is a very full report in respect to the num? ber of cases tried, and the number of cases involving capital charge: give it a grave significance." * Married, at tbe residence of the bride's father, Mr. James A. Drake, in Anderson County, on Thursday morning, Novem? ber 3, 1892, by Rev. C. B. 8raltb, Mr. A. Stivender, or Leesbnrjr, Fla., and Miss Minerva Drake. Tbe bride and groom came to the city shortly after the ceremo mony and left on tbe afternoon train for Florida. The wedding vras rather a sur? prise to the bride's many friends, all of whom will join the Iktblliqehcer in ex? tending congratulations and wishing her a happy journey through life. Mr. Sti? vender may congratnlare himself, for be has secured one of Anderson County's most excellent ladies as his wife. We publish this week the honor roll of the Townville High School, and must congratulate the pupils named for the good showing they muke. Prof. Rice, tbe Principal of this school, is now as? sisted by Miss Mamie Watson, a graduate of the Greenville Female College, and is doing a good work. The Patrick Military j Institute, the Greenville Female College and tbe Williamston Female College have each offered a scholarship to this school. The scholarships entitle one student, J standing well or best in the Townville High School daring the ssssion of 1892-93, to one year's schooling in each of the in* I stitutions mentioned. Mr. John L. Arnold. Jr., and bride reached Anderson last Thursday, and that e. rening were tendered a reception at the home of the groom's parents. A number of frienda were present to greet tbe happy couple, extend congratulations and enjoy tbe Dountlful repast spread in tbe dining room. Mr. Arnold married the preceding afternoon and at once Btarted for Ander? son. He and his bride returned to Ath? ena Saturday. Mr. Arnold went to Athens five or Bix years ago and has succeeded well. He is a worthy, industrious young man, and is fortanate in having secured suoh an excellent and charming young lady as his wife. The ."intelligencer wishes Mr. and Mrs. Arnold all the hap? piness attainable in this life. Mrs. Ellen Hall, the beloved wife of Mr. John Hall, died at her home in Varennes Township last Friday, 4th inst., after a brief illness. Mrs. Hall, was the only daughter of Mr. J. A. Hall, and about twenty-five years of age. For a number of years she had been a faithful member of Flat Rook Church, and passed away from this life trusting in the Savionr. She Eossessed many noble qualities of both eart and mind, and was greatly beloved by her friends, who deeply regret her death. Her remains were laid to rest on Saturday in the Cross Roads Churchyard. A bereaved husband and two little chil? dren, tbe youngest being only two weeks old, are left to cherish her memory. In their bereavement they have many sym? pathizers. Last Saturday we accepted an Invitation from our clever friend, John C. Osborne, and accompanied him on a trip through the southwestern portion of the County. Before sundown, we crossed the Savannah and drove to Hartwell, Ga., where we spent the night and the Sabbath. Mr. Osborne had important business on both Bides of tbe River, and, we think, came off very well. Our stay in Hartwell was most enjoyable. Indeed, we never fall to eDjoy a visit there. Hartwell 1b one of tbe prettiest townB in Georgia and can't be excelled for clever, hospitable- people, and charming yonng ladies. We met with many old friends and formed-*-' ? m ber of new acquaintances. In oo any with Edltor Magill we strolled over a por? tion of the town and found it steadily im? proving. Mrs. E. S. McDonald, relict of the late i Capt. W. H. McDonald, died last Wednes ! day night at her home seven miles south of this place, in her 67th year. She had been ill for some time. On Friday she j was buried at the Smith Chapel grave? yard. For years ehe had been a faithful, member of the Methodist Chnroh. She was possessed of many excel]ent qualities of head and heart, and was honored and loved by a large number of friends. Her pastor, the Rev. J. D. Crout assisted by the Rev. C. V. Barnes, conducted the sol? emn ceremonies of the funeral rite. Five grown aonB and daughters mourn the loss of a mother and will revere her memory until their summons comes. Mrs. McDon? ald's husband, the late W. H. MoDonald, spent a part of his life on the Beas and was the Captain of a vessel. He and hia wife came here from Charleston years ago. A Fatal Fight at Holland's Store. On Tuesday evening near sundown a negro brought the news to the city of a fatal tight which had taken place at Hol? land's Store, 13 miles from here, on that evening at about 3 o'clock. The news spread rapid iy and was talked of a great deal and several different reports were in circulation. She ri? Bolt and Coroner Nance, Messrs. J. S. Fowler and Geo.E. Prince and others left hurriedly for the scene of the bloody affray. From a gentleman who had visi tod the place we learned the following facts this morning: At about 3 o'clock J. R. Carter, familiarly known as "Bob," the notorious white Re Eublican of that section, and J. W. Earle ecame involved in a quarrel which result? ed in Catter drawing his pistol to shoot Earle. As he was about to fire some one jerked Earle to one Bide and the bullet that was intended for him struck Mr. Col? umbus Glenn, a son of Squire Glenn and an excellent young man, and killed him instantly. He was hit in or near the heart. He was walking towards the door where the trouble was and perhaps did not know that there was a difficulty in progress. The shooting took place near the door of the bouse in which the Federal election was boing held. Carter was the super? visor. Carter then shot Mr. Earle In the breast and also shot Henry Holland, a negro, with a stray ball. He, too. waa hit in the breast. While Carter wa* shooting, Hampton Earle, a brother of J. W. Earle, who had been hunting and had bis rifle with him, shot Carter in the breast and the ball went through hitn. Carter also Bhot him in the arm. When Carter had fired all his loads he started to run behind the house to reload his pistol when Hampton Earle secured a shotgun and discharged both loads at him hitting him in the leg and nearly shooting it off. Carter's people came and took him home. He was conscious |and prayed for himself and requested others to do so. He died abont 10 o'clock last night. Mr. J. W. Earle is living this morning but there are Berious fears that he may not recover. Mr. Hampton Earle is not dangerously hurt. The negro is painfully wounded but it is thought he will get well. This account; may not be accurate as to some of the details, but it is the report now accepted here as being abont correct. People were horrified at the awful trage? dy and lament it. The enormity of the deed can scarcely be grasped by the mind. That so deadly a fight should take place in onr County startle ns. That two souls should be Bent unwarned to judgment Bhocks us. Bel tor, Itoma On Friday morning, the 4th inst., at 1.30 o'clock, Mrs. Geo. W. McGee died, after an ilness of ueveral week9. Mrs. McGee left a husband and several chil? dren to mourn th6ir loss. We join their many friends in extending our sympa? thies to the bereaved relatives. The fun? eral services were conducted at 3 p. m., Saturday, by Rev. Chas. Manly, D. D., in the presence of a large concourse of rela? tives and friends. Rev. J. T. Smith, by request, preached at Little River Church last Sunday, the 6th inst., and he has consented to preach for the Church during the months of November and December. Mrs. A. C. Latimer and ber son, Car? roll, have returned from Atlanta, where they have been for treatment of nasal catarrh. We are glad to learn that they have been greatly benefited by the treat? ment. Five new pupils enrolled at the Belton High School last Monday. Mr. W. Milton Gambrell died Sunday morning at the home oi his brother-in law, Mr. Harrison Geer, after suffering for several weeks from typhoid fever. Mr. Gambrell was a young man of many excellent traits of character. His broth? er, Mr. Dock Gambrell, was buried the 22th of last September. Soon after the death of his brother, Mr. Milton Gam? brell was taken with fever, and seemed to have no hopes of recovery from the beginning. He seemed to nave a pre? sentment that he was going to die, and often expressed the desire to live nearer to God, in the familiar words, "Oh, for a closer walk with God," etc. The funeral services were conducted last Monday afternoon at the Belton cemetery. Wo join the many friends of Mr. Gambrell, in expressions of sympathy towards the bereaved sisters and other relatives. The following expressivo lines are to be seen written in his memorandum book, Oct. 2,1892.: "I have no brother now, I am weeping, He has left me here alone. He is beneath the sod a sleeping, And there is no joy now at home. Well do I remember, 'Take those little flowers,' said he, And* when I am numbered with the dead, Place them on my grave for me." The children's centennial exercises last Sunday afternoon at Nesl's Creek Church, were a grand success;. The children per? formed their parts well, and the collec? tion amounted to $21.12. Rev. Mr. Gar rett from Eureka, Rev. 0. L. Martiu of Anderson, and Rev. Chas. Manly, D. D;, of Greenville, added much to the success of the occasion by their prosonce and en? couraging words. x? TackervLUe Itemi. As this County hae one cross roads, we have changed the name of these diggins to Tuckerville, and hereafter it will be kown by the latter name. Miss Rosa Geer will resume her school on next Monday, the 14th Inst. One of our old bachelors is going to swap his single blessedness for double cussedness, so says Madam Rumor. One of our boys likes to go to the office. We presume he receives mail from the Tarheel State. We think it would be a good idea to work the roads just as soon as the cotton is out. There are some roads not very far from here that have uot been worked since last spring. The main road that leads to Anderson is in a very bad condi? tion, and we hope the Commissioners will do their duty, for the Overseers won't. The roads ought to have been worked last August, when the hands were running over the country playing baseball. My old lady says every time she goes to meet? ing she has a bad spell of the gout caused by the rough roads. One of our girls looks sad and lonely since her fellow went to Nashville. One of our boys carried his best girl to ride very recently, when his mule became frightened at a calf some little boys were driving and left the road and wont down across a cotton patch. The young lady fainted. When the boy got his mule stopped and the lady revived, she refused to ride behind that mule. So the young man put her in the cart and getting in the shafts drew her home. But here comes the funny part: the owner of the patch made them pick out a bale of cotton for the damage done. So, friend Joe, the next time yon go riding don't drive that mule, but drive a goat. Leap Year is nearly gone and the girls are still biding their time. Girls, wake up and get a move on yourselves. Just look at the handsome old bachelors who are leading sad, dreary lives. Wake np and pop the question, and let a little sun? shine of joy into their poor benighted souls. ?stolb Josh. Oakland Dots. Mr. Newton Clinkscales has been gin? ning cotton in this settlement for the last week. Mr. Callie Shirley is peddling on beef and honey, and I reckon he is going into the duck business. It looks like he aims to keep Oakland in a good spirit. One of Oakland's boys went to see his girl last Sunday night and unfortunately his mule got loose and he had to walk home and tote his saddle, too. Say, Os? car, next time hitch your mule good. One of our Oakland boys went off last week and never returned home until Fri? day. I wonder if he lost his hat and mule this time. Basil Alewino spent the nigh: with his brother, W. D. Alewine, last week. Mr. E. E. MoAdams was down on a visit last Saturday night. It seems that he has some attraction on this side. _ _ Ditto. ?tt* Cook?"I olar to goodness, Miss Julia, dis yer Sassage Grinder won't out meat mor than an old wore out coffee mill."

McAdams, of Andersonville, was visiting in this section last week and had tho misfortune to break his buggy. Mr. Rufus Evans, of Cook's, came over tbe fifth Sunday and took his best girl to First Creek. A certain young man of this section visited his best girl on a recent Sunday and found hie rival there. The aforesaid young man immediately went home, took his bed and is not yet able to be up. Say, Harve, shave olf and go over and make some molasses and I think you will get there. V? hen Mr. Bas. Hall goes to seo his best girl and finds that she is not at home, be entertains tbe old folks by playing the French harp. Two young men of the First Creek sec? tion came over a few nights ago to attend prayer meeting, and while returning home lost their lap robe in tbe Creek. Johs. Cedar Grove Items.

Editors : I have been hero now two weeks, and having promised many of my friends to write them scmething about this section of the country, I do so, with your consent, through the paper. This (Sevier) County is in many respects like Anderson County. It is timbered very much like Anderson, and is hilly, except in bottoms. Some places are very rooky, while iu other places thero uro no rocks to be found. The soil is very fer? tile, and especially in the flat or low lauds. It often makes a bale of cotton to the acre, from 30 to 75 bushels of corn, 40 to 60 burhels of oats, and good wheat, while peas are abundant. People only father enough peas to plant; and then turn n their stock to consume and waste the balance. This is of course without any guano or fertilizers of any kind. The average yield of cotton throughout the County is generally about a half bale to the acre, but this year it. will not Dear reach that, as it was not generally planted until in J'lly. It is about fifteen miles to the nearest Railroad, which is coming from Texar kana by this place tending to Fort Smith. It is twenty miles to Nashville, the near? est Railroad depot. All stock is allowed to run out, and consequently all crops must be fenced in. This, in my judgment, is the greatest drawback to this County, as rail timber is not very plentiful, that is good, npland onk-rail-timber. Everybody has an abundance of cows, hogs and colts. There are some sheep in this section. However, cows and hogs are of an inferior grade owing, I suppose, to inattention to them. As I have said the soil is fertile, and produces lino crops without any fertiliz? ing. However, you will find land very cheap here. Unimproved lands can be bought or homesteaded at from $1.00 to $3.00 per acre, and fine improved land at from ?4.00 to $15.00 per acre. I am una? ble to account for this low price of land, if it be not found in the fact that there is still considerable public school lands and public lands and U. S. Government lands in this and adjoining Counties. Labor is higher hero than in Anderson County. A poor man can locate in this County and rent a farm, and during odd times the first year can clear up a farm on his own land, which bo cau get as homo stead, if married 160 acres, if unmarried 80 acres. The public schools here aro liko in South Carolina?not much when unaided by personal Bubscriptions, but in must of the town districts an additional levy of five mills is generally made, and then the public schools run eight months. Thero are good schools here in every neighbor? hood where thickly settled, and especially in the towns. The people aro plain, clever and sociable, and much more in? telligent than most people out East would think. The health is said by people who live here to be good. I know the Doctors, judging from appearances, have not grown rich. There are some chills here on the rivers, I find water here pretty good; somo very good. The citizens claim the water to be unsurpassable. I find goods of all sorts higher here than in Audorson, aud cottou lower. This i3 largely due to tho distance to Railroads. Any man who will work can make a living hero and have an abundance about liim. I'd rathor own land and live horo than to rent laud iu Anderson County. O. WABDIuUY. let as Give 1 hanks, "Washington, Nov. -j.?The following proclamation was issued by the I're?idout to-day : By the President of the United States of America: A Proclamation. Tho gifts of God to our people during the past year have bocu so abundant and so special that tho spirit of devout thanks? giving awaits not a call, but oulv tho appoiutmont of a day when it may have a common expression. He has stayed tho postilouce at our door; He has given us more love for tho froo civil institutions in the creation of which His directing providence was so conspicuous; Ho has awakened a deeper reverence for law; Ho has widened our philanthropy by a call to succor the distress in other lands; He has blessed our schools, and is bring? ing forward a patriotic and God-fearing generation to execute His great and benevolent dosigns for our country; Ho has given us great increase in matorial wealth and a wide diffusion of content? ment and comfort in tho homes of onr people; Ho has given His grace to the sorrowing. Wherefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, Pres? ident of tho United States, do call upon all our people to observe, as we havo been wont, Thursday, tho twenty-fourth day of this month of November, as a day of thanksgiving to God for His mercies and of supplication for His continued care and grace. In testimony whereof, I havo horounto set my hand and caused the seal of the United Statos to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this fourth day of November, ono thousand eight hundred and ninety-two, and of tho independence of the United States tho one hundred and seventeenth. Benjamin Harrison. By the President: John W. Foster, Secretary of Stato. ? The land question is rapidly taking on as acute a phrase in England as it has In Ireland. The tenant farmers in the one country ar^ as loud in their com? plaints of poor crops, low prices, high rents as they aro in tho othor. Foreign competition has mado it as impossible for them to raiso cereals for tho market as it is for tho Now England farmer in the face of tho competition of the greiit West. The other crops, like tobacco, which help out our farmers, aro out of tho question in England, and such crops as can bo raised aro made expensive by tho heavy rent the farmer there must pay. The English farmers are holding meetings to consider the best means of relieving this depression, and seem to be agreed that, whatever else happens, rents must come down. They want Land Courts, like those in Iroland, and the B?ding Bcaie of rents, depending upon the crop and prices. They also ask for the three E's which played such a part in the Iri9h agitation?froe sale, fair rents and fixity of tenure. In the meantime a conference of farmers from all over the Kingdom is to be held to consider reme? dies, and the landlords are to be asked to defer their rent audits until March.

Lung Troubles, Rheumatism, Etc. Frequently a person Is supposed to have consumption when It ia some other dis? ease altogether that is reducing his flesh and making bim look pale and thin. J. W. Yates, Tullahoma, Tenn., writes: "It does me good to praise Botanic Blood Balm. It cured me of an abscess on the lungs and asthma that tronbled me two years and that other remedies failod to benefit." So you see it is sometimes well to try constitution treatment. No remedy is bo good as B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) for rebuilding wasted tissue, and giving health to every portion of the system reached by that great circulating stream of life, the human blood. Again, it is often Bupposed that coldB and exposure are the only causes of sciatica, rheuma? tism, etc. Such is not always the case. It is frequently caused by impurities in the blood. Wm. Price, Luttsville, Mo., writes : "I was afflicted with sciatica and had lost the use of one arm and one log for nine years. I wont to Hot Springs and also tried dif? ferent doctors, but found no cure until I tried Botanic Blood Balm. It made me sound and well. I am well known in this vicinity." Observe, oven when the renowned Hot Springs fuilod, B. B. B. brought relief. Remember, no matter what blood romedy you have tried or intend to try, B. B. B. is the only one that will give you complete satisfaction, 0. F. JONES, R. C. WEBB. ? FULL 0? Rousing Stocks Fall and Winter Goods -AT C. F. Jones 4* Co's. STORE NO. I.
