An exchange says: One way of making tbe times easier, and people happier is for all to pay something on their accounts; if they can't pay in full pay something?a portion.

The Augusta Chronicle of the 29th ult., saya: "Capt. J. C. Keys, Superintendent of the Carolina Midland Railroad, is one of the most popular nun in Barnwell County.

An interesting program is being arranged for tbe occa? sion, and those who attend will be bene? fited. H. H. Watkins, Esq., of this city, has accepted an invitation to be present and deliver an address on tbe subject, "tbe power of littles," which he will han? dle in his usual interesting and impressive manner.

We odvUe all who can possibly do so to go. Messrs. O E and M. C. Horton, of this County, who recently graduated from the law department of the University of Vir? ginia, have decided to locate at Carnes ville, Ga, to practice their profession. These young gentlemen have worved earnestly and zealously to secure an edu? cation, and, having secured it, have chosen law as their profession for life. They de? serve success, and we venture they will secure it. Carnesville is fortunate in se? curing them as citizens. Wo commend them to tbe good people of Franklin County as worthy of their confidence and good will, and at the same time wish them all the success attainable in this life. Mr. M. B. Whitten died nt his home at Ferrel's 8tation, Ala., on Saturday, Sep? tember 23rd, after a brief illness with fever, aged 32 years. Mr. Whitten was the eldest sou of Mr. M. B. Whitten, of this County, and movea to Alabama about eight years ago and accepted a posi? tion in the employ of tbe E. T., V. & G. R. R., which he continued to hold until bis death. He was a worthy, industrious man, and was highly esteemed by his friends and acquaintances, as well as by tbe railroad officials. His old friends jn Anderson County will regret to hear of his death, and will deeply sympathize with his parents and his wife and two lit? tle children, who ate left to cherish his memory. The correspondent of the Atlanta Cb?i Stitution, writing from Gainesville, Ga., under date of the 6th inst., says : "Rev. A. A. Marshall, of Crystal Springs, Ga., who was called to the pastorate of the First Baptist Church, of this city, has de? clined to accept. His health has been groatly impaired and for this'reason he de? clines. Mr. Marshall is universally loved, not only in Gainesville, where he spent the flower of his youth, but wherever he is known. By his suave manners, lovely character and magic eloquence he walked by easy effort into the hearts of the people of Gainesville. While the citizens*regret the fact that be is unable to undertake the arduous duties incumbent upon the pastor of this important Church, they agree that he has acted with prudence in not accepting." t Last Friday morning, about 11 o'clock, the dwelling bouse of Mr. J. 0. Snellgrove, who lives about four miles south of tbe city limits was burned to the ground and nearly every article inside was consumed. Mr. Snellgrove wus in the city at the time, and the members of his family were in the field picking cotton. Mrs. Snell? grove had left the house only a short time before, and soon tbe smoke attracted her attention as well as the attention of some of tbe neighbors, all of whom ran to the. burning house. They were too late to save the house, but by bard work man? aged to keep the outbuildings from being destroyed. The loss falls quite heavy on Mr. Snellgrove, who had no insurance, and who is a poor, deserving man. Some of his neighbors circulated a subscription list in the city Friday, and our citizens generally contributed something to his relief.

Aunt Margaret Cherry, a faithful and devoted old family Bervant of our mater? nal grandparents, died at the writer's home in this city last Saturday, after a brief illness, aged 74 years. On Sunday afternoon after appropriate funeral ser? vices conducted in the colored Methodist Cuuroh by tho pastor, Rev. J. A. Brown, her remains were laid to rest in tbe col? ored cemetery. "Maum" Margaret, as she was more familiarly called by all of the family, at the age of 11 years, was giveo to our grandparents when they were married in 1830, and on account of her youth was brought into the new made home and oc? cupied a room next door to the '"young mistress," to whose call she was ever ready and willing to respond. When the first child made its appearance in the happy home, she began ber duties as nurse, which she faithfully performed down to tbe youngest of nine children. In tbe meantime she married, and she with her family remained in tbe old home until slavery was abolished. When this event was announced she expressed her? self as being desirous of remaining with "old master," and continued to do so un? til bis death in 1874. Since then she and her venerable husband, who survives her, have lived with or near by some member of the family. About fifty years ago she joined the Methodist Church in this place, under the preaching of Rev. George Mcore, who wa3 pastor of the Church at that time, and when the colored Methodist Church was organized she moved her membership tbeie. Throughout her life she was a faithful, zealous Christian, and possessed a most noble, sympathetic dis? position. In times of sickness and dis? tress, as long as she had strength to walk, she was evor ready to make any sacrifice to relieve or comfort her loved ones and ao aaintances. Of course, the poor old n uma was near and dear to us, and in p ying this little tribute to her memory we feel our inability to do justice to her many noble traits of oharacter. As we stood by her grave and saw her body low? ered into the earth, our mind wandered back to our happy childhood days when we would sit in her lap and listen to her interesting stories of events long since passed and her good words of advice, we could not restrain the team that would come into our eyes, The poor old houI has goue fo reap the rewards of a woll spent life, but her memory will long be cherished by tlnse who knew and loved her. One by one these faithful old ne? groes of ante bellum days are pasBing away, and their places can never be filled on this earth. In thousands of Southern homes to day these greatly beloved old servants are being tenderly cared for by their white friends, and when tbe Angel of Death calls for them a strong link in the chain o? friendship and love has been broken. Interesting Services at the Methodist Church. There was quite a large congregation of ladies at the Methodist Church last Sun? day afternoon to hear Mrs. Lander's talk on Brazil and the need of special gospel work among the women of that country. Much of ;be information she gave was en? tirely new to many of her auditors. She said that the women were not treated as equals but as inferiors; that the girls were ofte 1 sent to boarding schools at the age of five or six years, and at twelve or thirteen they were married off; that her life was one very aimless, her exiBteuce very listless. The gospel gives them new ideas of woman's position : enlarges her sphere of usefulness, and elevates her in the estimation of the men. Woman is not allowed many privileges. She does not go out alone. As a girl she is accompa? nied by a servant, or a brother: or her father; as a wife her husband is always her escort. They worship the Virgin Mary and pray to numerous saints, and in order to secure what they want offer gifts to Virgin tad saints alike. The priests do not allow them to lead the Bible, but will take it away from tbem and burn it. Mrs. Lan? der's earnast words will not ?oon be for? gotten. Rev. John M. Lander also made a few remarks for the encouragement of the ladies. He quoted a lady who had said: "If a woman can do a thing and feels it her duty to do it, what reason can be given why she should not do it ?" "That," said he "silenced me." At night Mr. Lander spoke more at length concerning the history, customs and religion of Brazil and its people. His address was the most explicit and satis? factory which this writer has ever heard on that subject. He said tbe people were Portuguese, Indians and Negroes, with every gradation of mixture from the octo? roon down. Brazil is trying the experi? ment- of miscegenation, and time alone can tell the result. He was not favorably impressed with it. The people need the gospel just as much as Anderson needs it. They look upon the missionaries pretty much as we do upon the Mormons. Tbe missionaries are called "devils" very frequently. When tbe missionary gains their confi? dence then he can do something for them. The school is, and will be, tbe great medi dium of introducing the gospel. He began teaching with one pupil, tue third year (last year) seventy-eight were matricula? ted. This yeai he hoped for not less than eighty. With an appeal for the sympathy and prayers of the Church at home for the workers in these distant lands, Mr, Lan? der closiid his interesting and instructive address.;_ Helton Locals. Misses Anna Clinkscales, Rena and Idelle Rice left this week for the World's Fair. Rev. J. C. Stoll filled his pulpit here last Sunday, and preached two good ser? mons, as be generally does. The now building of the Belton High School is now nearing completion. The carpenters' "work will probably all be done this week. It will be painted in good style and ready for occupancy about the first of.November. Everybody interested in the building has just cause to be proud of it. The subscription list for the building of tbe bouse is in the the hands of Messrs. Rice Brothers, tbe contractors, and they will be glad to re? ceive at any time now the amounts sub? scribed lor tbe erection of the school house. Let all others, too, remember their promises to pay something for this enterprise, although they did not sub? scribe. Jit will take a handsome little sum to iurnish the building, grade and beautify the grounds after the house is completed. ? There is a new comer at Mr. II. M. Goer's?"a fine girl." Mrs. A. L. Brown and her son, Car? roll, have removed from Greenville to Bolton.^ They are occupying the dwell? ing of*Hon. A. C. Latimer. We are glad to welcome Mrs. Brown and her family back to our town. Our esteemed townsman, Mr. Brown Wilson, the efficient railroad agent at tbis place, has been sick for a few weeks. We aie glad to announce that he is improv? ing, and we hope to see him at his post soon. Dr. J. M. Holcombo is having a cozy little office fitted up in tbe rear of tbe beautiful drug department of Messrs. J. T. Cox & Co. The postoffice here has been removed to next door to Messrs. Geer Brothers. Mr. A. R. Campbell is now with Rice Bros, aud Mr. L. L. Vaughan with Geer Bros. ? Plercetown Items. Mrs. Anna Tarrant, of Greenwood, is visiting the family of R. H. Anderson. We heard an able sermon last Sunday by Rev. G. M. Boyd. In the language of Josh Billings, he "jest gits dar." We are very busy now trying to get our cotton out, hence we can't keep you in? formed like we wish. Messrs. Editors, if you will permit ns we will give the boys & lecture on oppor? tunities. Well, boys, we want to give you a little of our experience. The time of year has arrived when every boy's heart leaps with joy at the prospect of hav? ing a little money for Christmas. Now, boys, don't heed the flaming advertise? ments of the Northern novelty dealer, ior he knows the failing of young America and waxetb strong and fat thereby. Boys, if you want to have anything in the world, don't notice such firms as Lynn & Co., Hill & Co., etc., for if you do you will get bit every time. We advise you to put every dollar you get bold of in the bank, then it will be safe for you. It is surpris? ing to see how many suckers there are in our old South. Old gray-headed men, who ought to have more sense, bite at the tempting bait. Barnum, the greatest showman that ever lived, once said that the American people love to be humbug? ged. WheB I see a young jay studying these trashy Northern papers I can guess his intention. He has just donned his daddy's galluses and thinks he is big enough to sport around the girls, and he must have his pockets full of tackey jew? elry before his lady love will shower her winning smiles on him. I saw a young couple tbe other day just starting out, and from their actions I plainly saw that they both were suckers. The youDg gent wore a large brass scarf pin in his tie, while the young lady was decked out with a whole jewelry shop. Eoys, if you want to make your best girl a present go to town and select something that will be useful as well as ornamental, and where you can see what you are buyiug. Your money will return to you again. You all know that beautiful poem ; "The mill will never grind with the water that has passed." I hope you will take that poem to heart and profit thereby. Sam Dewberry. Kicker Again. Editors Intelligencer : Kicker has noticed that our fruit dealers are imposed on. Unthinking passerh-by help them selvos as if these dealors didn't havo to pay for their goods. 'Tis said to be so general that ono dealer quit the business because these grabbers snatched away all tho profits. Kickor noticed an able bodied man help himself from the stock of a weakly man, not able to work. He sells fruit to aid in making a living. In some cities the policemen are good free grabbers. If this things goes much fur? ther, it may be that those who wish to pay will have to go without fruit, If so, you will bear again from Kioker. Direct Route to tho World's Fair.

Would you like to heir something from Lebanon once more, Mr. Editor? Last Saturday and Sunday were tbo days for services at Lebanon Church, and Satur? day was the time for tbe regular Confer? ence. Rev. Mr. Hawkins was not pres? ent, owing to sickness in the family, bo after a short service, the Church proceeded to the Conference. Mr. Joptba Harper was called to the chair, and after attend? ing to the regular business, Mr. Harper, in behalf of the Church, gave the right hand of fellowship to one new member. Then followed tbe election of pastor and the other officers. There were sixty-nine votes cast, and of these, sixfy-aix were for Rev. W. B. Hawkins. On Sunday, just before Church services, Mr. Harper asked that all of the cougregatiou who endorsed Saturday's election should rise, where? upon the entire audience rose, making the election nuanimous, and showing to Mr. Hawkins that the people appreciated bis earnest labor* and zealous effort?? among them. Mr. Harper then requested that every member should be prompt in pay? ing the pastor's salary, and also requested that all who could not agree with toe doc? trines preached, should not make it known during the services, as has been the custom, but should see the pastor in his own borne. Then followed a deep, earnest sermon from Mr. Hawkins upon the subject of "Christian Influence." Mr. Hawkins acknowledged his re-election, and accepted the pastorate for another year. Immediately aftor services the con? gregation went, over to the pool on Mr. Lern. Welborn's place to witness the bap? tism of two candidates. The ceremony was solemn and impressive. It was a very pleasant day in every respect, and will loDg be remembered by all present. Now, as to finances; farmers are very hopeful on account of tbe rise in the price of cotton, and some think that by Decem? ber it will bring 10 couts. May their hopes be realized! Then not only farmers but preachers, teachers and doctors will be equally elated. Prof. Holland's school has baen right good all fall, and will be full again when the cotton-pickers finish their work. A Visitor. White Plains Items. While we are peacefully at quiescence, Mr. Editor, we will try and transact a few dots, being you havn't heard from this lo? cality for some time past. Cotton is still opening very rapidly, and in some sections it is about finishod. The crop will be quite short. One of the White Plain girls thought she would try and learn to be a wright, and in the space of fifteen minutes she had made a table. Mr.-says he is going to buy a silk cloth for it. We hear that Mr. W. C Owens and family are going to move to Texas this fall. We hope if they do they will be pleased with their new home. It seems that Mr. Basil Alewine is cut? ting a dash with the girls, as he rides along smoking a cigarette and a pound of candy in his pocket to feed her on. That's right, Mr. B , I think she likes candy very well, and her "sis," too. A certain old bachelor evidently means business, and is surely going to pop "the question by the way he makes his visits. At a distance we saw him helping her pick cotton with her "sis" on one side, she on the other, and he in tbe middle. As they were picking along and laughing and talking, I beard him tell her that he believed he would have to wake up as be thought some one was trying to get in ahead. Well, I ju<tt said then that be would Boon take tbe "old man" to tbe "ash-hopper." What has become of some of your cor? respondents, Mr. Editor? Have they froze or stack to the cotton or the stalk 7 One of young friends went to see his "old time girl" a abort time ago, and it is said that while he was seated in tbe piazza a swarm of files came all around him, and as be was knocking and fanning with his handkerchief, the girl asked him if he had anything sweet about him. He blushed, and in a short time left for home. Two girls near this section say they are going to Texas in the near future. We would like to have a look of their hair be? fore they left. Shaep Tooth. ! Alice News. Tbe writer and some of the neighbors are feasting on turnips. Mr. 8. 0. Jackson has laid his condens? ers aside and leveled his lint room. He can now beat tbe world on sample. The young folks enjoyed a lawn party on the night of the 25th ult. at Mrs. John Long's. The music wa9 furnished by Miss Mattie E-dtew and Mr. Brooks Gai ley. A certain gentleman showed his intend* ed son-in-law through this community a few days ago. Miss Emma Holltday, om- ' i io fair belles of Greenville County, i* veiling her brotber, Mr. Bud Holliday. We recently visited the Hebron Sunday School, and was ?lad tu sph it in such a flourishing condition. Everybody seems to work together. Three boys got badly disappointed \a*l Sunday evening. Next time, boys, don't ask the old man where tho girls are. This cotton stealing business will have to stop, or some people are going to get a whipping. G. W. Strickland is now a State Consta? ble. There is considerable objection to him, and we think a better man slfould have been appointed. Johnson. Union Meeting.
