If subscribers to newspapers generally knew how important it was to publishers to have each lndi idual subscription paid at the proper time they would set down in their memorandum book the date when a fresh new year begins and would be as prompt as in tbe payment of a note in the bank, in meeting it.

Hubbard, with his usual enterprise aud originality, has gotten up a unique and novel souvenir of the war days in Anderson. It is a silver teaspoon of a most beautiful design. In the bowl of the spoon ia an eugrav. cg of what is known as the P. M. I., surrounded by the following words: "C. 8. A. Treasury, 1864-65, Anderson, S C." There are many of our people, and especially these wbe bave grown up since toe war, who de not know that the Confederate treasury was located in Anderson in 1861-65. In the Spring of 18?4 it wsb moved from Char? lotte, N. C, to this place, the employees, presses, plates, safes, books, etc., being transported through the country in wag? ons, There were one hundred and fifty or more employees ia the treasury, and the Institute building and boarding house were both occupied by th^ra. The treas? ury remained here until the surrender, when it suddenly disappeared one night, before the raiders reached Auderson. It is said the treasury contained considerable gold and silver and that several of the officials with a few citizens knew where it wont to. It was well that they secured it, for the raiders wonld bave took it. The old presses and plates were broken up and for years after the war the pieces lay around the grounds of the building. We are under obligations to Mr. Hubbard for one of the souvenir spoons, which we ap? preciate bigbly. He is receiving quite a number of orders for them. ? jj ill ii1 n TowovUl* Circuit Appointments.

Another Brilliant Marrluge. The marriage of Mr. Howard A. Ed? wards, of Darlington, S. C, and Miss M. Lucia Patrick, of this city, took place in the Baptist Church on Wednesday eve i niug, 14th iast., Dr. Charles Manly, of Grewr.villo, officiating. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity, and ev? erybody admired the pretty but simple decorations. Miss Virginia Evans presided at the organ and rendered a svwt wedding march with her usunl skill. Just at 9 o'clock the wadding party en? tered the church, the groom and grooms? men coming out of the robing rooms on either side of the pulpit, and meeting, each, the lady with whom he was to stand, aud arrunged themselves in a somi circle ou the pulpit platform. The following is the order in which they entered: Miss Sudio Manly, of Greenville, with J. W. Quatllebauan, of Anderson. Miss Olive Brown, of Anderson, with Wm. A. Edwards, of Darlington. Mies Gertrude Hoyt, of Greenville, with E. ,1 Lide, of Darlington. Miss Sallie Edwards, of Darlington, with Lieut. T. W. Gary, of Anderson. Miss Carrie Miller, of Greenville, with Lieut. W. L.

The bride was beautifully attired in a white crimped bengaline with pearl trimmings. Ornaments, diamond ear rings, the gift of her sister, Mrs. Gurgan us, and a diamond pin, the gift of the groom.

On Thursday Mr. and Mrs. Edwards left for Darlington, their future home, carrying with them the best wishes of a host ef friends. W eedJe'a IT swell News. After an absence of several weeks I again take up my pea to give you the Newoil news. Our people have been moving areund considerably since I last wrote you, therefore our flourishing little burg has undergone many chatiges aad now pre? sents quit* a different appearance to what she did in bygone days. Everythlug is lively, and the good peo? ple all seem to be in a joyful mood. Hog and hominy abounds throughout the land, and on many farms wheat and other small grain has come up and is looking fine. In fact, there is but one thing at present that is particularly both? ering us, and than is a book agent. He is canvassing the suburbs and is expected in tbe city at any hour We wish the poor fellow no barm whatever, and, to sub? stantiate tbe fact, we have chained our dog, who wouldn't, provided you'd let him gather the scrap, turn aronnd on his heels for the difference between a scrap from a book agent's pants and a fresh chunk of beef, tie resolved once before that we would break tbe animal from his book ai;ant-trow80r-aampling habit, but it was i?f no avail. The agents would detain os front our work so long that we could not rr?i-> the temptation to loose him. Th'inf tlist have never seen our dog in pur.-uU of n book agent or lightning rod man, cannot form an idea of the velocity attained in the Might, neither tbe amuse meet thtt there is in watching the per? form Mice. Therefore, it is profitable that some of <>ur readers may not at first be? lieve that the temptation to loose him when bein< detained by sucb character is hard to ovarcutne, but I know what is what, fur I have tried it, and in behalf of the si-Ilvr of books that is soon to give us a call. I will a?k the good brethren that nay rend this to orapro nob it that we may be enabled to overcome the teniptition or bt away from hoin? one when be calls. Undoubtedly the ?'Variety Etore" now contains one of the completes) stoaks of Koeds to be found in this part of tbe State. The genial proprietors say that tbey are going to split things wide opes frora now until the 15th of Jaouary, '93. They have been in business over since 1869, and it nredz no gift of secoud sjght to predict for them a great success. Prof. J. A. Major's school at Mountain Springs is in a llourixhing condition. Tbe Sunday School at that place seems inclin ed to want to go into winter quarters, but the good people are going to purchase an? other stove, with which thoy hope to make the houao more comfortable and keep the good work a moving. In so doing this humble scribe wishes for their unlimited success.. We have also beard that a number of citizens are trying to get up a singing school at Mountain Spriugs for the benefit of those of tbe surrounding community that are not well versed in tbe art of produoiag vocal music. To this we say amsn aloud, for a school of that kind we think is ueedpd in our midst, very badly, indeed. The "Alliance Liver Pills" are still on the top round and can, until further or? ders, be obtained by all that will send 15 cents in postage stamps to P. O. Bex 28, Newell, 8. C. We recently heard it remarked that tbe Legislature now in session bad been as striugent In reforming aa it well nigh could, and in general "bad done as d?d near nothiug as possible." In mention? ing the Legislature we are made to think of one of our Representatives who, it seems, is about to become famous as the man that speaks from the shoulder and one that hardly ever addresses an audi ence without opening up his entire vest front and airing bis well developed breast. Tbey say that the reason he does this is because he thinks the heart is tke seat of intellect and wants to keep it cool, Our "Froglevel" friends say that they hare found another man that wants to learn the art of "snipelng" aud will take their annual snipe hunt when the weather gets cold enough. Wonder who will hold the sack thin time? If cotton stays at ten cents a pound until planting time t am afraid that those of our farmers who have resolved to quit raiuiag so much of the "stuff" will be like wo are about turning our dog loose when a book hook ageat is around?too weak to over? come tbe temptation. With somo of our young people Christ? mas treos, tournaments, sociables and "break downB" are the topics ol conversa? tion. We are having oome wet, rainy weather now, and in consequence the boys are making things lively for the few surviv? ing rabbits that have taken refuge in the old fields. This will be tho last you will hear from us until the New Year shall have begun. So in the conolution of this, my last letter for '92, I wish the Ihtelligenceh and its many re#-?ers the compliments of tbe sea? son, Respectfally, Ned Needlb. Death of a Noble Woman. M has rs. Editors: It is with sadness that we take up our peu to record the death of MrB. Emalino E. WakeSeld, which occurred at her home near Hol? land's Btore on Wednesday morning, tho 14th inst , after ten day'B illness of pneu? monia, in about the 70th year of her age. She was a daughter of Mr. Jesse McUt-e, a well known and long aince decased citi? zen of this County. In her young wo munbood she was married to Mr. Andrew J. Wakefield, who preceded her to tbe grave about thirty years. She was left a widow at a time of all times most trying, but she fought the battle bravely aud has gone down to her grave bearing with her the respect, the love, and a memory that shall outlast all things mortal. In her girlhood she joined tbe Baptist Church, and day by day let her light shine, mag? nifying her Saviour, whom she ever de? lighted to honor. She was never happier than when ministering to others, and deemed it a joy as well as a duty to make thoee around her happy. Three children (two daughters and one ion) and a host of grand-children survive her, who wili keenly miBs her counsel and protecting love and example, A large number of friends tender their sym Eathies to tbe bereaved relatives in this our of sadness, and the writer of this sketch feels safe in saying that if we, who are lefc to mourn our departed friend, will but emulnte her virtues, walk in her tracks, aud lean upon the one*<in. whom she trusted we will eventually stfHe bands with her on the banks of tbe beautiful river. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev, J. R. Earle from 1 These., 5th chapter 10th verse: "Who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him," after which her remains were laid to rest in the Cross Roads cemetery to await the tin si con sumation of all things.

A faithful yo.ir' work it lias been rrith tlio majority, and it gives ns pleaHiiro to know' thai tboy are in a position to enjoy their week's rest.

Kuy, who returned with him Sunday. Miss Ella Mitchell, of the Hopewoll section, has been spending n week with Mrs. Ella King. As tho Christmas holidays approach our bachelor boys begin to wander, Mr. J. F. King straying off nearly so far as llonea Path Saturday night. En' "Georgo" Buys it is useless for him to go. as he has his house noarly completed, and has juBt received a box of flowers. If we can beliovo Madame Rumor, Cherokeo is to lose one of her most charm? ing "widows" during the holidays. One of our "Long Branch" "widowers" was in hopes that she would remain in An? derson County. But it seems like fato or love bas decided that Abbeville shall be the gainer. From appearances now it looks like all our girls are going to "Mohawk" Christ? mas, and of course that moans that an equal amount ol our boys will go, toe, and in fact some of thuin just will go anyway, and we can't much blamo theso, far there .is something down tbero that will draw thern, so says "Julian." Mr. Jessie T. King was ro-olected Su? perintendent of Neal's Creek Sunday School last Sunday which will be the third year he has served them. Mrs. Nancy Gains;;, of this section, has been very sick, but we are proud to say Bhe is convalescent. Oue of our neighbor boys, who Is sweet on a girl in Mohawk, thought be would present her with a dozen apples, carrying them to a dance. After dancing a while he suggested that thuy go out to the bug? gy and get them. He was very badly surprit-ed on reaching the buggy to find that some mischievous boy had removed his apples and in their place had put bo many rocks. His girl, believiug he was playing an intentional joke on her, refus? ed to believe that ho had apples at the start, and now he is racking his brain trying to derive some plan by which he can convince her he did, and was not so badly excited as she imagined. Miss Essie Smith, who hm been very low the past three weeks, with fever, we are glad to say is improving, being able to sit up part of the day. One of Doc's girls sent him word the other day that she hud a red dress and red hat and for him to oome and see her. Ho having the same color of hair as her dress, we reckon she wanted him so it would match hor dress. But Doo. saya she bought the dress to match his hair. Mr. W. J. McGeo, of Starr, made a fly? ing visit to this section Sunday, stopping at Mrs. Martin's. There was a very enjoyable entertain? ment at Mr. Jessie Fant's Thursday, l?th inst.
