He will be able to resume work in a few days. The Intelligekckr believe* in patron? izing home industries. Tb is way some people have of spending all their money or the larger portion of it ?wa;r from home, when they could just as well und econom? ically spend it at home, is a great mistake. Each community ought to seek to be self sustaining; so nearly an possible, and each member of the community ought to feel that his home institutions have the first and strongest claim upon his patron? age. Clinton Brock, a youth about 14 years of age, living near Mt. Carmel, Abbeville Ceunty, died with hydrophobia a few days "ago. The youth vras bitten by a mad dog three years ago, and the occur? rence had almost been forgotten. Ho complained of symptoms of hydrophobia for some time past, but continued at work until three or four days preceding bis death, wben he began raving. At times be was conscious, but contiaued to grow worse until death came to bis relief. Mr. J. W. Leverett, of Hall Township, is the champion turnip producer of this County.

Rhodes & Co , iu Nash? ville, Tenn , for a uumb2r of years, hns recently accepted th6 position of general manager of the Nashville OiUtitting Com? pany, a new enterprise in that city. It is an immense establishment and occupies a five-stery building. The selection of Mr. Sharpe as manager is quite a compliment to his business capacity, and hi* many friends in Anderson will be glad to bear of his success. The Greenville News, of last Friday, says: "John Ferguson, Jr., T. G. Davis and Joseph F. Sirrine yesterday morning rode from this city to Anderson on their safety bicycles in 3 hours and 18 minutes. They spent several hours in Anderson and returned in tb?afternoon, making the trip back in 4 hours and 11 minutes. The distance of the route they took was 33 miles, which ruadv n distance of 6G miles covered. The young men returned feel? ing fresh and in condition to have made another long trip." The new advertisement of C. F. Jones & Co. tells the thousands of readers of the Ihtklligknckr what they Jure in store for their patrons duriog Decetabor. Read what they say. As is well known tbeae gentlemen occupy two spacious store? rooms. In one room you will find any? thing in the way of gents' goods, and in tbe other room the ladies can be supplied with anything they ?ieed. Buying in such large quantities, these gentlemen arc enabled to sell goods at very low prices. It will do you good to go through their establish men tr. One of our prominent merohants, ac? companied by several friends, spent Thanksgiving Day as the gueet of Mr. P. B. Allen, near Starr, hunting birds. They were haviug fine sport until our merchant friend accidentally shot one of Mr. Allen's fine dogs while it was retrieving. Of course the gentleman regrets the accident exceedingly, and, being very tender hearted has spent several Bleepiess nights worrying about It. His friendn have done their be?>t to console him, and should the dog die our merchant friend will Eresent Mr- Allen with one of the best red dogs he otn find in Grover Cleve? land's country. A change of venue was granted in tbe case of J. Minis Sullivan, of Greenville, for killing Herman Gilreath. Tbe attor? neys claimed that tbe jury was illegal, in? asmuch as P. I). Gilreath, a half brother of the deceased, was an interested party and that be bad taken part in dre.wiog tbe jury. He was also Sheriff elect and no Erovision wan made by law for a jury to e drawn by a deputy. Judge Aldrich ordered that the case be transferred to An? derson to be tried at the February term of the Court. The trial of this case will bring a large crowd of Greenville people to Anderson. He was a flirt, and a male flirt never gets a lick amiss. The harder you hit him the better. He had asked the girl to marry him, and she was onto his curves. "No!" she said, promptly and firmly. He became theatric. "You have crushed my life at one blow," he murmured, hoarsely. "I guess not," she respond??, "Ab, but yon do not know," he insist dj "You have killed me?killed me l' "Well, if I have," she remarked, coolly, "you must be a cat, for I know seven other girls who have done the same thing, and you are not dead yet. You've got I one more chance." In response to an invitation from Capt P. K. McCully, President of the Western Carolina Land and Improvement Compa-" ny, in company with a few other invited guests, we went down to Calhoun Fails last Thursday to spend tbe day and eat our Thanksgiving dinner in the Millwood Inn, which has recently been erected there. The Inn is a modern, commodi? ous three-story building, and is built on a hill, from which a grand view of the sur? rounding country may be had. ThGre are two Btore-rooms on the first floor of the Inn, one of which Is occupied by Mr. N. A. McCully and tho other by Messrs. .T. G- Cunningham & Co. The Inn has been rented by Mr. N. A. McCully, who knows exactly how to conduct a hotel. His business so far has far exceeded his ex? pectations. The Thanksgiving dinner was a most excellent one, and highly en? joyed by all present. Thtre are now three stores at Calhoun Falls, and a fourth one will soon be open. Tbe two railroads are now being connected by a new side track. The Land Company made a wise step in building tbe hotel, and if it carries out tbe other improvements contemplated, Calhoun Falls will soon be a prosperous town. Our stay down thcro was highly enjoyed. Greenville District Appointments. The annual Methodist Conference elosed its session in Charleston last Mon? day night.

Those of tbe farmers that have not already finished sowing are now very busy doiug so. The health of this section is as good as usual. Thanksgiving Day was not observed in these "diggins." Guess tho people were too busy to give the good Lord thanks for no many goodly, rich blessings that He has bestowed upon us very unworthy creatures. Oh! bow many bites of bread that are raten without one thought given by the consumer where the food came from, and tbe many "chunks" of meat eaten without first giving; thanks to tbe Almighty. It is a wonder to me that He permits nome of us to stay here, we are eo ungrateful. The marriage of Miss Scott Dlckson, of this neighborhood, and Mr. George Rub sell, of Slabtown, has created somewhat a surprise among her many friends and relatives. It was a thing unexpected by almost all who were acquainted with them. She is a daughter of the lato Thos. Dickson, deceased, and Mr. Russell is a brother of Mr. D. H. Rut'selS, editor of the Advocate. We do wish them a happy new lifo, which commenced the 15th iust. By-the-way cards ore cut announcing the marriage of another young man of our oircle.

Come again, Mies Cora, your visit was highly appreciated. Sociables are again in order. This gives tbo young people a golden opportu? nity to er-joy each other's company. A certain youug me,u went to see a cer? tain youug lady not long since?wo are not sura that it was his best girl?but anyhow, be espied a new patent hat rack and wanted to know of the lady the price of that pea plauter. Go home and look in the mirror, young mau, and see if "this is me." Mad dogs are raging in some parts of this section. Children, when you go out to play you had better carry your feet in your pocket. We had better mention our "swapping" John and Will. If anybody wauts to Bwap anything they would do well to first try these two men. You can do well if it is nothing but cats or rat-traps, as the trade may call for. I'm mighty gled Cleveland was elected. Well, nearly everybody el?e is, too, but I am taking the thing "sorter" moderate like.

An approaching price of ten cents for cotton fouud the crop rery nearly beyoud the grasp of the unfortuuate farmers.

Much Is a feeble effort at the picture pre? sented to tbo grief-strickon mother and anxious friends of little Effie, the four year-old daughter of the late Capt. D. L. Hall on last Friday evening, November 26th. The little unfortunate had gone out into tbe field where the older children wore at work. She was playing around where there had been a lire, and from a few coals still smoldering her dress was fired. She started to run, wes discovered by an older (12 years) sister, who caught her und. (ailing to extinguish the flames by tearing the clothing from her, threw her to the ground and literally buried her in the diif. When &he was unearthed not a vestige of clothing remained, but instead one solid mass of roasted and burning flesh, the face and chest being the only portion untouched. Though in this condition tho littlo unfortunate lingered in comparative case for twelve hours. Too much cannot be suid in praise of the uoble efforts cf the little sister to save her. Tbe bereaved and grief-stricken mother has the sympathy of the eutire commu? nity in the trying ordeal through whioh she Is passing. * Alice Dots. News in this section is as scarce as ben teeth.
