C, has been spending a few days in the city in the interest of that paper; and succeeded in adding a number of new subscribers to its list. Tbe Southern Pres? byterian has few equals as a religions pa? per, and no Presbyterian family, espe? cially, should be without it in their home. We were glad to have a call from Mr. Mclver, who is a practical newspayer man. We were more than pleased to have a short visit a few*tiays ago from our ven? erable friend, Mr. James A.

In the building were nine bales of cotton, a lot of cotton seed, all of his plantation implements and tools, and two good buggies, all of which were de? stroyed except two bales of cotton. The fire was discovered between 1 aud 2 o'clock, and is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. Mr. MoAdams had no insurance, and the loss is a heavy one. It is to be hoped that the scoundrel who plied tbe torch will be caught and punished sevorely. Mr. Warren D. Maroney, formerly of this city, died at the home of his brother at Fountain Inn, S, C, last Thursday, aged about 56 years. He was at work and in his usual health at Spartanburg on Friday, the 3rd inst, when be was taken sick and at once went to bis brother's home. After his arrival there he got a little better, but soon had an attack of in? flammation of bowels, which caused his death. Before he died he realized that his end was near, and said he was prepared to go. His remains were buried at Fountain Inn. Mr. Maroney has a host of friends and relatives in this city who regret to hear of hia death. Two sons survive him. Last Monday morning, just before day? break, the barn, stables and oorn crib of Mr. James B. Pruitt. of Martin Township, were destroyed by fire. All tbe stock in the stables and a part of tbe corn In the crib were saved. In the barn there were 10,000 bundles of fodder besides a big lot of shucks and other forage, all of which was consumed. The dwelling house also caught fire, but the-flames were extin? guished before much damage was done. Two of Mr. Pruitt's employees had visited the stables and fed tbe stock a short time before the fire was discovered. Neither ot them had any fire or lights with them, and they say they saw no fire. It is nof known bow tbe fire originated. Tbe loss is a heavy one on Mr. Pruitt, who had only a small Insurance on the buildings. R. 0. L., in tbe last issue of the Southern Presbyterian, says: "We have just closed an interesting meeting conducted by our evangelist, Rev. W. T. Matthews at Flat Rock and Beans. These two Churches are situated near each other and are feeble points in the Master's vineyard. Tbe meeting began at Flat Rook on tbe fourth Sunday and continued there with great interest until Wednesday night. On Thursday it began at Dean's and continued until the following Sunday night. The Spirit of tbe Lord was present from tbe first, as was evinced from the interest that was manifested, and tbe numbers who came out from tbe world, and confessed Christ. There were thirty-seven additions in all, seventeen of whom united with the Flat Rook, eleven with Dean's, three with Varennes and the remainder with Metho? dist and Baptist Churches. Both of the Churches are greatly encouraged in their work and feel that the Lord has done great things for them." Miss Lizzie Anderson, the second daughter of Mr. Daniel Anderson, died at her home in Broadway Township on Tuesday afternoon. She had been in fee? ble health for several months, and about the 1st of October visited the World's Fair. She returned home not much im? proved by ber trip, and her health rapidly grew worse until about ten days ago, when the family realized that her condi? tion was serious. Tbe family physician was called, but nothing could be done for her, as her disease had become more com? plicated and heart failure brongh ber life to a close. Miss Anderson was about 28 years of age, and was a most excellent and accomplished young lady. For a number of years she has taught school in several sections of tbe County, aud was greatly - esteemed by both her pupils and patrons. She faithfully performed her duties in the school room and in the family, and the announcement of her death will be heard with sorrow by a wide circle of friendB. Sbe was a faltbfnl Christian, and since her firlhood bad been a member of tbe Pres yterian Church. Tbe grief-stricken pa? rents are deeply bereaved in tbe death of their loved one, but they have tbe conso? lation of Knowing that the is now with tbe blessed Saviour, whom she delighted to serve.

Be sure to attend to this at once. Any person who desires can go on this train._ _ Helton Items. Mr. Horton Moore, living in the north? ern part of our town, has been sick and unable to work since last spring. He needs the sympathy and help of his neighbors and friends. Rev. J. C. Stoll, the popular pastor of the Methodist Church in Bel ton, preached two good sermons last Sunday. There will be no preaching at the .Methodist Church here on the second Sunday in December, as the pastor will be attending conference at that time. The crazy colored man, Perry Wil? liams, was at large on our streets Sun? day and Sunday night. If bis people can not take care of him during his "spella" the county or State authorities ought to take charge of him. There is no telling what he might do in one of his crazy spells. Come out next Friday night -to the entertainment at the ball of the Belton High School.

Our school is increasing overy week, "but still there is room." Miss Margaret Ge?r. of Greenville, paid Belton a "pop call" last Sunday. Feed the Fatherless. Thanksgiving day is coming. So is Christmas. Good times ar~ these to remember the needy and deserving poor. Who more needy or deserving than the orphans. There are more than a hundred of them in the homes of the Thornwoll Or? phanage, Clinton. They come from almost every South? ern and several Northern and Western States of the Union ; their parents were of at least ten different denominations of Christians. But here, they are all of one family, trained in ways of usefulness and piety and fitted to do good work for the world by the lessons they receive. This Home is under the care of Pres? byterians. But it is in no sense local, neither does it confine its benefits to children of that faith. It is provided for by voluntary gifts. There is no appropriation to its support by any ecclesiastical or charitable body. Individual gifts alone 8 re its dependence. For eighteen years, it has been in exis? tence, growing continually in numbers; in that time it has trained many orphans for usefulness. In all that time. God's people have not allowed the fatherless ones to suffer. Gifts of money or provisions may be sent directed simply to "Thornwell Or? phanage," Clinton, S. C, or to Dr. Ja? cobs, its presiding officer. Don't forgot the orphans on thanks giving and Christmas. They (need youb elp, reader,_ Plercetown Items. Ab this little burg is almost deserted on this beautiful afternoon, and we feel lone* ly and desolatp, we will Rive you tbe news, Mr. Editor. But why should any one feel dejeoted, for on every hand we have to but raise our eyes to behold tbe mysteries and beauties of Dame Nature. She has touched tbe meadows and forests with her magical art and has transformed them into elysian bowers, where we may roam and rest our weary bodies. Ob ! is not this the most beautiful season of tbe year, when tbe horn of plenty is tilted up and bless? ings is poured down on this ungrateful earth. We all ought to rejoice and render tbankB to tbe bountiful Creator for tbe many mercies he has showered upon us through the past year. Williams and Guyton take the cake as rice farmers. They planted eight acres in rice and gathered 463 bushels. Tbe straw makes excellent hay and stock devour it with a relish. They expect to plant about 30 acres in rice next year. At the rate of 58 bushels to tbe acre, they will will har? vest 1,740 off of the 30 acres. Putting the price at $1 per bushel that will give $1,740; take 740 for expenses, that will leave $1,000 clear. We have taken the dollar as the pricj for a busbel, the lowest price for rice that la ever known. It sometimes reaches $1 50, when the farmer will receive more clear money, while the expenses will be the same. Now every farmer can't go into the rice business, for tbey havn't land adapted to its nature. But a great many could plant their branch bottoms in this article of food and make them profitable where tbey are now lying idle, growing up in reeds and briers. The boys have organized a military band. This is a step in tbe right direc? tion. Their instruments consists of flag? eolets, flutes and harps, and tbey play right well for their practice. We were unable to attend tbe meeting of the debating society we told yon about in our laat. Accept our regrets, ladies; hope we will be able to attend some time in tbe near future. Sam Dewberry.
