The sdvertiaement of Ligon dt Ledbet
ter, wholesale and retail grocers, should
be read very carefully by the readers of
the Intelligence p., as it contains some
facts worth knowing. These gentlemen,
as is well known, carry a big stock of gro
Oeries, and in. prices and quality of goods
they defy competition. They make a spe?
cialty of high class fancy groceries, and
are the sole agents in this city for Chase
ifc Sanborn's fine coffees. In floor tbey
can please your fanoy and your purse. In
short, tbey handle nothing but first class
goods, and are always delighted to have
you call and inspect them. Tbey also

Christmas trade. We would advise you
to give them a call, and we pledge von
our word you will not regret it. They

The Easley Messenger says: " We no?
tice that under the preaching of Rev. L.
L. Picket, and Rev. H. S. Abbott and his
wife, a Wealeyan Methodist Church has
been established at Anderson C. H. with
thirty-five members. Among the mem?
bers we notice the name of Mr, J. A.
Brissey, who was raised in this Connty,
and was for a great while the miller at
Bowen's mill. He is a good man, and
was a member of the Antioch Methodist
Church in this County for quite a number
of years. We venture tbe assertion that
this new Wesleyan Church has been
formed almost entirely from converts
from other Churches, and that very few of
the members of tbe'new organization was
taken from tbe ranks of tbe old he fellow.
There are quotations of scripture which
apparently comes in right here. We will
name tbem: Ephesians iv-xiv, and He?
brews xiil-xix."
Presentment of the Grand Jury.
To his Honor William H. Wallaoe, Pre?
siding Judge at Anderson, S. C.
We, the Grand Jury of Anderson Conu
ty, respectfully submit the following as
their final presentment:
We have passed upon all the bills hand?
ed to us by the Solicitor.
All the Trial Justices have not submit?
ted their dockets to us for examination as
required by law, and we find that tbe
docket of one of them, to wit, S. P. T?te
does not show that all 'the fines collected
by him have been paid over to the Treas?
urer of the County, neither have they
been able to find from tbe Treasurer's
books that all of tbem have been paid.
We, therefore, recommend that the Solic?
itor examine tbe books of said Trial Jus?
tice and taka such action tbereon as may
to him seem advisable, if found to be in?
correct or the fines not paid over to the
Treasurer.
We recommend that all tbe Trial Jus?
tices shall be required to submit their
dockets to the Grand Jury at the next
term of Court for examination.
We find nothing in addition to what we
have recommended or presented in our
former presentments which deserves spe?
cial mention.
We return our thanks to your Honor, to
tbe Solicitor and the other officers of the
Court for courtesies and assistance we re?
ceived during the term.
Respectfully submitted,
J. A, Ebjiew, Foreman,

At Hymen's Altar.
Anderson never saw a more beautiful
wedding than that which occurred Tues?
day evening in the Presbyterian Church
of this city, the contracting parties being
Rev. John R. Edwards, of Due West, and
Miss Amelia Brown, of this city, Mr. Joe
B. McGee, Jr., and Miss Marie Brown,
both of this city.
The popularity of the contracting par?
ties, and the occasion being a double
wedding, something that has not hap?
pened in Anderson in a long number of
years, attracted a very large crowd of
people, the Church being full and run?
ning over within ten minutes after the
doors were opened, and there were fully
three hundred people who could not get
even standing room in tbe building.
On, around and above the spacious ros?
trum were to be seen some lovely decora?
tions, consisting of chrysanthemums, hot
house plants, and beautiful white roses,
with tbe pretty ivy entwined all through
them. Over the center of tbe rostrum
was suspended a large horse shoe, made
of a most beautiful selection of white
flowers. These lovely decorations with
the happy smiles of the very large con?
gregation reflected by the brilliant illum?
ination of the electric lights, presented a
scene that can hardly be described.
At about 8.30 the bridal party arrived
at the Church. When they descended
from their carriages they found a solid
wall of spectators on both sides of tbe
walk from tbe street to tbe Church, on
tbe steps and in the piazza. In a short
time the wedding march, played by Miss
Virginia Evans on tbe organ and accom?
panied by Mr. G. W. Evans on the vio?
lin, announced the incoming of the
party.
The rostrum had been temporarily ex?
tended from wall to wall to make room
for the party.
Tbe first to enter were two pretty little
girls bearing flowers, Misses Eula Brown
and Meta Sullivan.
Then came the ushers, Messrs. R. L.
Robinson, Clarence Tolly, Jas. L. Brown
and J. M. Fiynn. They stood just next
the rostrum in prolongation of the semi
oircle of attendants on the rostrum.
The following were the attendants of
Miss Brown and Mr. Edwards :
Miss Jennie Edwards, of Due West,
and Rev. T. W. Sloan, of Troy.
Miss T. Craig, of Clinton, and Mr. W.
W. Edwards, of Due West.
Miss Louise Nardin and Mr. J. C.
Reid, of Charlotte.
Miss Lillie Barr and Rev. S. W. Rold,
of Woodruff.
Miss Mamie Renwick, of Newberry,
and Mr. John K. Hood.
The attendants of Miss Brown and Mr.
McGee were:
Miss Anna Brown and Mr. H. Frank
McGee, of Abbeville.
Miss Nellie McGee and Mr. R. S. Mc
Cully.
Miss Lillie Brown and Mr. W. E. Mo
Miss Victor Nardin and Mr. J. W.
Bruce.
Miss Mamie Barr and Mr. M. T. Brea?
zeale.
Miss Lois Phillips, of Louisville, Ga.,
and Mr. George Townsend.
The couples came in alternately, those
first named turning to the right at tbe
rostrum, then ascending and walking
across to the other side, while the second
named turned to the left, and then went
to tbe opposite side of tbe rostrum.
The attendants were then followed by
Messrs. Edwards and McGee, who pre?
ceded the Misses Brown. At tbe foot of
the ailse the contracting parties paired off,
one couple turning to the left and the
other to tbe right.
They met and faced each other near the
centre of the rostrum, and then Dr.
Frierson, who had been standing with
Dr. W L. Pressly, of Due West, just In
front of the central window of the ros?
trum, Btepped forward and in choice
language and beautiful thought spoke of
tbe marriage institution and then took the
vows of the couples. D Pressly then
led In prayer, after which Dr. Frierson
pronounced the several contracting par?
ties man and wife.
That being done, the march was again
heard softly stealing through tbe vast
audience and then the party retired from
the Church in an inverse order from their
entrance.
After tbe ceremony, the wedding party,
accompanied by a few invited guests,
repaired to tbe home of the brides'
mother, on McDuffie street, where the
happy couples received tbe congratula?
tions of their friends and relatives. The
lovely brides were dressed in white
satin, trimmed with lace and white rib?
bons, and wore diamond ornaments.
The reception' was an elegant affair
throughout, and one long to be remem?
bered by those present. The supper was
such as only the Southern home is capa?
ble of affording. It was abundant and
delicious, and served in elegant style.
The presents were too numerous to
mention, but were lovely in tbe extreme,
and testify of the popularity of the young
people who have plighted their troth.
The brides are the second and third
daughters of our late fellow-citizen, E.
W. Brown, deceased, and are two of An?
derson's most genial, accomplished young
ladies. Mr. Edwards, is a son of Dr. E.
H. Edwards, of Due West, and is a bright
and promising young minister of the A.
B. P. Church. He has recently been
appointed by his Church a missionary to
Mexico, and will leave about tbe 1st
December to begin bis work down there.
In bis selection of a bride he will have a
most valuable helpmeat in this work.
Mr. McGee is the second son of Mr. J. B.
McGee, of this city, and is too well known
to our people to need any incomiums
from eur pen. He is certainly fortunate
in his selection of a life companion.
Mr. and Mrs. Edwards left for Due
West this morning, and will be tendered
a reception to-nigh t at the groom's home.
Mr. and Mrs. McGee will not leave
home, but to-night will be given a re?
ception at tbe residence of the groom's
brother-in-law, Mr. G. M. Tolly.
May there be a long, bright life ahead
of these young people. May they carry
the joyousness of their young love into
all tbe vexing problems of tbe matrimo?
nial school. And may they walk down
life's years, band-in-hand, in sunlit hap?
piness, even until they reach that distant
wimry twilight when most gently life's
school is dismissed.

On Wednesday morning of last week J.

nesses. The witnesses testified that Gil?
reath had unintentionally tossed a bottle
into the yard of Mrs. Stokes, Sullivan's
motber-in-law; that Sullivan and Gil?
reath exchanged words about it, tbe for?
mer being very angry and inviting Gil?
reath to the street for an Immediate set?
tlement. Both were represented to have
indulged in threats. The notes Gilreath
had written to Mrs. Stokes in apology and
to Sullivan, in which be offered at any
time or place to give satisfaction, were
read. On the next morning tbe killing
took place near intersection of Coffee and
Main streets. Mr. Sullivan claimed that
Gilreath advanced on him 50 or 60 feet,
while others stated that Sullivan awaited
the approach of Gilreath. Sullivan told
him to get away and Gilreath was turning
to leave when he was shot in the left side
near tbe heart and then in the baok.
Tbero were statements to tbe effect above
and counter statements. Tbe witnesses
were frequently, in conflict in their evi?
dence. Tbe result showed that the Jury
believed th9 evidence of the State's wit?
nesses.
