A lew days ago he opened a bank containing about forty bushels, and they were in a most excellent condi? tion. He brought a load to tbe city and bad ilO trouble disposing of them at a good price. Mr. Stevenson is a very suc? cessful potato grower, and says he has never failed te keep them sound through tbe winter. We bad tbe pleasure of being escorted through tbe Anderson Surgical Infirmary Tuesday afternoon, and found everything very neatly and conveniently arranged. Dr. Bosworth has spared no expense id fitting up the rooms and providing for the comfort and convenience of his patients, many of whom bave come from distant Counties to be treated by him. The Doc tor says be is permanently located in An? derson, and is determined to build up an infirmary second to none in the South. Last Saturday night, about 7 o'clock, Mrs. Lou. Gaines, wife of Sheriff M. B. Gaines, died in this city, She bad been an invalid for along time, being afflicted with that terrible disease, consumption, and ber death had been expected at any time for tbe past few weeks. Mrs. Gaines was a daughter of J. F. Matt;son, deceased, and was about 37 years of age. In her girlhood she joined tbe Baptist Church, and throughout her life wa_> a faithful and consistent member. She was, there? fore, prepared for the summons of deatb, which came as a ministerial angel reliev? ing her of her terrible sufferings. She was a most estimable woman, and was greatly beloved by her friends and ac? quaintances, all of whom deeply sympa? thize with the bereaved husband and seven children left to cherish her memory. Oo Sunday morning tbe remains were carried to Shady Grove Church, in the Eastern section of the County, and in? terred in the Churchyard. Rkv. R. J. Williams conducted the funeral services, in the presence of a large concourse of friends and relativeb. A commission for a charter has been is? sued by the Secretary of State to the Cal houn Land Company of Calhoun, S. C, which appears to be a concern of some mag? nitude. The corporators are Nelson C.

The business will be to bay, sell and deal in lands, and the capital stock ia placed at $50,000 with the privilege of increasing it to $200, 000. "Aunt" Lindy Whitfield, one of the oldest negro residents of Anderson, died in this city last Monday night, aged about 75 years. "Aunt" Lindy was one of the faithful, old-time negroes, and in slavery time was the property of the pa? rents of the late John C. Whitfield. She was a strictly upright, worthy woman, well-known in this section and most highly esteemed by her white friends, who will long cherish her memory. Mr. W. J. Reed, of the Andersonville section, cut down an old white oak tree a few days ago and from, twelve "cuts" se? cured more than 4,000 fine hoards, two feet long.

The Tocooa (Ga) News relates tbe fol? lowing: "A tall mountaineer walked into a store th?*' other day and said to the clerk : 'I want some of thtr thinnest syrup you uus is get.'

Beacbam, East Main street, after a brief Muess of pneumonia, Mr. Doutbit was in bis 75th year. He was a native of the Bethesda neighborhood of Anderson County and spent nearly all bis life on his homestead there, which he in? herited from his father.

He will be buried to day at 1 o'clock at tbe burial place of his family. The Rev. Dr. Bailey will conduct the funeral services." Washington'? Birthday. Appropriate exercises In celebration of Washington's birthday took place at the Home School last Wednesday.

Latimer left 1 Monday, 20th ult? for Washington, where, we suppose, he is now making himself familiar with tbe habits and man? ners of proceedings pf the great National Legislative body. Mr. John Willingham, one of the oldest citizens of this community, is now seri? ously ill. Mrs. Reuben W. Poore, who lives near this place, is critically ill with consump? tion. It ia thought that she can live only a very short while. The remains of Mrs. M. B. Gaines, of Anderson, were interred at Shady Grove Church Sunday. The pastor, Bro. R. J. Williams, conducted the funeral services. Mr. T. O. Kirkpatrick; who is now teaching in Greenville County, was in our town Saturday. Our merchants are now receiving their spring dry goods. Mr. R. A. Lewis, one of our leading merchants, left Monday afternoon for the Northern markets to lay in his stock of spring goods. Mr. Lewis has contracted for the erection of a neat cottage, to be occupied by himself and family. He will also make some alterations in his present residence and store rooms. Mr. Andrew Willingham has a photo? graph gallery in this place, and is pro prepared to take both photos and tin-types. We are again visited, in this section, by some cold, rainy weather, which has put a stop to farm work. * Photographs! W. M.

Needle's Newell Nnws. We are having sorue deli^btful weather now, the niiats have cleared away aud our farmers are njoicing. Tbe boys are ma? nipulating to perfection the bell cords that ruu from the bridle bit to the plow handles, and have got on n "git uj- und git" njove that leads one to believe they will bo most sure to reap a bountiful har? vest. The faithful blacksmiths are wield? ing their hammers with a vim, making the ding, ding, cling, cling-i-ling-dings sound clear and loud. Guano distribu? tors, cottou planters, harrows cultivators, and various other little implements are being carried to the shops where they wHl be overhauled and trimmed up for the "grand parade," which commences about the 15th of March. Besides all this there is a thousand and one other little jobs being "done up" that we bave not time to mention, but nevertheless they pertain to the farm and are executed by the farmer. There has been a great deal of talk about reducing the acreage of cotton, but I cannot yet tell you whether it will ,be done or not. The."Variety Store's Rooster" still con? tinues to look eastward. Some of tbe boys ought to go up and wake him up. A great many of our farmers agree with the Piedmont brother, "Squire Fewell," on the oat question, and are still sowing. On examination our farmers find the potatoes put up by them for seed bave all rotted, consequently Beed potatoes are in demand at fancy prices. Married, on Sunday afternoon, Febru? ary 19,1893, by Trial Justice J. D. Sitton, at his residence, Mr. Whit. Stegall and Miss Georgiana Sheriff, both of this section. We extend to the happy couple our con? gratulations, and wish for them a long and happy life. Our old friend, W. A. Tripp, has re? turned from the Atlanta Medical College. I He iR now called Doctor, aud is armed I with medicines, "saddle-bags" and a lot of curious looking little instruments per? taining to the profession. I If you want a uew definition of the word "mistake" call on Mr-. A few I evenings ago he went to see bis best girl. I On arriving at her place of residence he was conducted to the parlor, wherein he found tbe one upon whom bis affection was centered pondering over a magaziue. After the salutatory and the exit of his conductor (the young lady's father), he concluded to converse a verse or two on tbe topics of tbe day, which he said were tbe crinoline and Hawaii. He expressed his views on these subjects generally, and by the aid of a few "gems" committed to memory front the "wit and humor" col? umns of the newspapers produced a hearty laugh and bo thought made a good im? pression. But here is where tbe mistake occurred : In concluding his remarks on the crinoline and Hawaii, he got tbem mixed and said : "Yea, Uncle 8am has, I j think, annexed or took on crinoline, and I I notice that the law-makers in several States bave introduced bills to prohibit the sale, loan or wearing of Hawaiians." Ned Needle i Cedar Grove Items. , A very intelligent old lady of this seo j tion remarked in our presence the other day that she would rather do without her toffee for breakfast than to be without the Intelligencer to read. Meat is scarce in this section. Eat mo? lasses, neighbors, and plant a big crop of sugar cane this spring. Mr. Allen Ma haffey is going to purchase a cane mill to accommodate the public. It is time for we farmers to reform. We have heard a great deal about reform for the last few years, but we are still as far from true reform as the South is from thoXor'h. Just think about meat being worth 13 cents per pound cash, or 17 cents on time. Who is to blame for this? The farmers, It will take five hundred pounds of lint cotton to pay for two hun? dred pounds of meat next fall. You can take ten bushels of corn and the scraps from -the kitchen and raise that much meat, and it will not cost you over ten dollars. At the present price on time it would cost you thirty-four dollars. By all means, let us begin reform in earnest right now. We farmers are the biggest set of fools, when we might be the most independent people in the world. We need never expect any better times until we move our corn cribs and smokehouses from the West. It is amusing to go to town and see we poor little oue-horso farmers standing around with our hands stuck down in our pockets as if we had a ' hundred dollars in there, when, in fact, they contain nothing but a horn, a brass button and perhaps a buckeye. Ere long you will see them approach a merchant, aud tho first thing they will tell him is the number of acres they aro going to plant in cotton. Then they will toll him how much supplies it will take to run them, and if he will advance them thoy will rrivo him first lien. Old Uncle Edmund Crymes is very sick at this time. Neighbors, ho needs your attention, Mr. Joe Kinard Is able to be out again. I Cotton seed for planting purposes aro selling for 50 cents a bushel in this sec? tion. Grit. Wllllamston Items. The Spring session of the Williamston Female College opened with encouraging prospect?. We have bad a great deal of sickness here for the past month, but we trust the worst is passed. Among the list who have been quite sick were Rev. D. W. Hiott and wife, Mrs. Dr. Hutto, Mrs. G. K.Willis and child, Miss Abbie Ellison, Eunice Boozer and Janie Sullivan. These are thought to be improving. Little Mattie, adopted obild of Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Crymes, Jr., died last Sunday night, after a short illness, aged nine years. Mr. and Mra. Crymes left on the afternoon train Monday for Waynesville, N. C , the home of the child's parents, where they expected to inter the remains. Mr. and Mrs, C. have many friends who deeply sympathize with them in their affliction. Hewlett Sullivan, who has been sick over three months, is still confined to bed, but some hope is entertained for his re? covery. Mrs. J. A. Ellison, who has been very ill, is thought to be some better. Birdie, 15-year-old-daughter of H. M, Prince, is seriously ill at this writing, and fears are entertained for her recovery. Mr. Stoll, pastor of the Methodist Church, preached a very appropriate ser? mon to the young men of our town on last Sun^sy evening. Rer. D. W- Hiott went to Greenville yesterday to perform the marriage cere? mony of Miss Nannie Kay, of Greenville, and Mr. Davidson, of Columbia, which will take place in the West End Baptist Church at 11 o'clock this a. m. M. February 21, 1893. -? Mr. Editor: Having heard that my name was used by Mr. Dillingham in his conversation with Mr. Trammcll which was overheard by C. F. Jones and others, and that I am the juror referred to in Mr. Jones' affidavit as the ope whom Mr. Dil? lingham called when "Trammell replied that be, Trammell, had already fixed bim," I desire to say, most emphatically, that neither Mr. Trammell or any one else approached me in the interest of Mr. Sullivan, neither do I know of any juror having been approached during the term. j. I. Holliday. Anderson, S. 0., Felt. 2:5, 1893. Ladies who uso cosmetics or powders to cover tip or hide a bad complexion, do not know that Hill Croa. can furnish thorn with Blush of Roses, which is clear as water, purifies the skin, aud positively removes black heads and all skin diseases, takes the shiny look from tho face aud I whitens it soon as applied. Anderaouvlllo Items. Once more we are having tine weather, and the farmers are putting in good time breaking and preparing their laud for an? other crop. The majority have got their i ? guano. Messrs. D. 0. T)yar and T. N. Edwards have returned from Florida. Mr. Dyar spent fourteen months in the "Land of Flowers." Mr. J. H. Barrisou, of Walhalla, came down and done some surveying for Mr. W. J. Reed. Mr. H. h?8 many friends who were glad to see him in this section again. The wheat crop is looking fine at this time. It is to be hoped the yield will be a large one. The patrons of Shady Grove have made Miss Florence Norris up another three months' school. She will teach one month now and the balance after crops are laid by. Miss F. is very highly esteemed as a teacher. Mr. Henry CaKlwell, one of our oldest citizeus, is in very feeble health at this writing. We are of the opinion that friend "Luke," of Alice, is somewhat mistaken. We think our boys made a mash on your young ladies, when they talk of "setting their cap" for Bob. Waco. Crayton Items. We had a few days sunchine and tbe farmers made good use of them sowing oats and breaking stubble land. The cold wet winter has kept back the oat sowing but manj' of our farmers say they will continue until 15th of March if they cannot finish earlier. Let us learn a les? son from this winter and sow more grain next fall. How about the cotton crop? We fear from tho amount of fertilizers being purchased that there will be more cotton planted this year than there was last year. Now, farmers, let us think this matter over and see if wo cannot soe it to tho interest of all to plant less cotton and moro corn, poas, potatoes, pinders, sorghum, ifcc. The school at Bethany is in a flourish? ing condition with L. M. Mahaffey, Prin? cipal, and Miss Bettie Earle assistant, and more than one hundred pupils on the roll. Miss Jennie Griffin, of this place, is teaching at Mt. Bethel, hear Annie. She reports a good school there. Tbe Dis? trict Trustees say that all the schools in this Township are well attended. Miss Lula Pruitt, of Annie, has been visiting in our midst. Come again, Miss Lula, ii leap year has gone. A tenant house, with part of the out? buildings, on the Cray ton ville farm were dostroyed by fire last Friday night. The occupants lost nearly all they had in the house, and Lewis Ligon, a* colored ten? ant, lost one ton of fertilizers in the out? building. The health of our community is good at present, and if you all want to keep well just call on the P. M. for a box of Dr. Burkkeart's vegotable compound to purify your blood. It is all right. We feel sorry for "Ned Needle.". Just to think of a man in this banner county of ours being bullldozed into taking the agency for counterfeit pills. We want to tell "Ned" that tbe genuine Alliance liver pill is for the brain as well as for the liver, and we think if he could just see one his brain would be benefited enough to mako him throw up the agen? cy for his company. No, "Ned," you need not advertise that pill any more, for you .cart never get any Alliancomen to take hold of them. Zip. Tribute of tove. In remembrance of Mrs. M. B. Qaincs, wife of the Sheriff of Anderson County, S. C. ? This beloved Bister "fell asleep in Jesus" at Anderson, S. C, Feb. 25, 1893, in the 38th year of her age. She was a Christian of strong faith in God's promises, quiet obedience to His word, and calm resigna? tion to His will. The last request she made of her Pastor was, "Pray tbat I may live, if it be God's holy will, but if not tbat I may go calmly." It was not God's will for her to remain with us, but He gave her grace to go calmly.
