A man sees a friend approaching whom he knows will ask for a loan of money, and be immediately gets in his work first by asking tbe friend for a loan. This prevents his friend from ask? ing him for money, and Is consequently called a "safety talk." Rev. John R.

Mr. Cothran is an en? ergetic young farmer, and with a little as? sistance from his neighbors and friends will soon be on his feet again. We know we express the wish of not only bis own congregation bnt the wishes of our whole people, when we say that we hope Rev. G. P. Watson, the beloved and zealous pastor of the Methodist Cburch, be returned to Anderson another year. Despite his bad health, he has served his congregation faithfully during the year, and now tbat his health Is mending rap? idly he will be in a better condition to do more work next year. He is most highly esteemed by our people, and makes a friend of every acquaintance. The Walhalla Courier, of last week, says: "Mrs. Edward Whitten and Mrs. Andrew Patterson, of Anderson County, Said us an appreciated call this (Th?rs ay) morning. Mrs. Whitten is a Bister of Sheriff Dontbit, and an old school mate of our Mr. D. A. Smith. Mrs. Patterson is a sister of Mr. H. D. Rochester, of this County. They are on a visit to the fami? lies of their respective brothers. We were pleased to meet them and renew the ac? quaintance of former years.

Last Sunday morning Mr. Joseph Par ker, of Hall Township, bad the misfor? tune to lose his dwelling house by fire, caused by a defective flue. Mr. Parker had just built a fire in the stove to gei; breakfast and had gone baok in his bed? room to sit by the fire. Directly be heard a roaring noise, and as be entered the stove room he discovered the flames, which had already got a good start. Tho fire spread rapidly, and Mr. Parker saved only a portion of the contents of his house. He bad a small insure nee on the property, He ezpects to rebuild immediately. Rev. A. T. Dunlap and wife, who aro now temporarily residing in Spartan burg, have been spending a few dayB in the city., and on Sunday morning the forme:; Ereaohed a most interesting sermoD In tho [ethodist Church.

Mr. Dunlap will join the Sonth Carolina Con ? ference at the approaching session and continue to work for his Church in this State. He has a host of old friends in Anderson, and all of us were delighted to greet him. The Elberton (Ga.) Star, of the 17th inst., says: "On PYiday, October 10, 1893, at tbe office of the 8. A. L. R. R., Equitable Building, a meeting of tbe stockholders of the G.. 0. & N. R. R. was held. At that meeting tbe names of McAlpin Arnold and 8 M. Piokens, of Elberton, were substituted for those of Hoke Smith and C. A. Collier, of At? lanta, as directors of tbe G,, C & N. R. R. This is a compliment and a high tribute to the worth ana business ability of Messrs. Arnold and Plckens. Both of these gen? tlemen are well known in Elberton, and have tbe esteem and confidence of the whole community." Mr. Pickens is a na? tive of Anderson County, and his many friends and relatives here will Join us in extending him congratulations for the honor that has been conferred upon him. Among tbe Intelligencer's many subscribers is a young lady, Miss N. J. Chamblee, who lives in tbe Roberts sec? tion, and who is one of our most success? ful farmers. She has a good farm and superintends it herself, aud as a female farmer we doubt if she has her equal in South Carolina. She has never bought a bushel of corn or a pound of meat, and besides making sufficient of each to sup? ply her family's needs, she also furnishes what her tenants may need, and all of her cotton is a surplus crop. As a conse? quence she is not in debt, and has a good sum of money at the end of the year. She milks two cows, and during ttio pant six butter in Anderson. Her butter is rich and she can always dispose of it at a good price. This only Bhows what a little en? ergy and good management can do, and is an example worthy of imitation by ?ome of the Bterner sex. The Easley Democrat of last week says: "W are pained to have to announce the death of that most excellent Christian lady, Mrs. Sally Pickens, at her home in Brushy Creek Township, Anderson County. Mrs. Pickens, with her family, lived a year in Easley four year9 back, and by her kind and Christian disposi? tion she formed the warm attachment of all our people with whom she came in contact. She was one of tbe kindest neighbors we ever knew or lived by, and her love and consideration for her family was boundless. She was in the fifty-sixth year of her age. She was a daughter of the late W. D. Sitton, Esq., of Brushy Creek Township, Anderson County. She had been for many years a devoted and exem? plary member of tbe Methodist Church. A husband, Mr. Wesley Pickens, and grown son, Mr. Clarence Pickens, survive her. Her remains were interred in the Pickens' graveyard in Anderson County, and the funeral services were conducted bf her pastor, the Rev, N. G. Ballenger." The valedictory service held in the Pres? byterian Church last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock to Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Edwards was attended by a large congregation and the services were exceedingly interesting. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards will leave for Mexico, where they will engage in mis? sionary work, on Thursday, 30th inst., the former having volunteered bis services as a -missionary from the A. R. P. Church. Mrs. Edwards has been raised up a mem? ber of tbe Presbyterian Church of this city, and is tbe first of its members to go into the missionary field. It was proper then that this service should be held. The exercises consisted of an address from Mr. Edwards, who spoke of the field and the work he would have to do. Responses months pounds of were made by Rev. G. P. Watso^, of tb Methodist Church, and Mr. W. H. Frier son, of the Presbyterian Church. Rev Dr. Frierson then made a few appropriate remarks, and, in behalf of the Ladi~~' Missionary Society of his Church, pre sented Mrs. Edwards with a handsome gold pen and staff, as a token of the ap preciation of the members of her good work in their Society. The exercises were interspersed with gospel songs, and con eluded with a prayer from Mr. A. B. Tow era, the venerable Superintendent of tbe Presbyterian Sunday School, and the singing of that grand old familiar hym "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," eto Mr. and Mrs. Edwards will carry with them to their far distant home the prayers and good wishes of our people. A few months ago Emma, a bright and sweet little daughter of Mr. H. H. Acker, ofVarennes Township, began complai ingofoue of her eyes paining her. In few days ber parents noticed that the eye lid was slightly swollen, and called the family physician to see it. The physician looked at it, said he ieared it was tumor, and advised the parents to await further developments. In the meantime the swollen eyelid had drawn itself down and remained in that condition. Tbe Eain was not severe and tbe little girl bore er affliction bravely and patiently. Tbe inflammation increased Blowly, and last week Mr. Acker brought tbe little girl the office of Drs. Nardin & Orr, who had decided to perform an operation on the eyelid. They made a thorough examina tiou of the eye, and in a tew minutes, their surprise, they found a piece of straw, nearly tbe length of the eye, lodged under tbe lid at the top of tbe eyeball. It was lemoved at once, and tbe little girl's eye began to improve at once, and is now nearly well. Mr. Acker then remem bered that the children, after harvest time bad been playing in a pile of straw on h premises, and it is supposed that tbe little girl accidentally got the piece of straw in her eye at that time. The Atlanta Constitution of a few days contains a picture and a lengthy bio graphy of our clever friend and former townsman, Dr. Walker G. Browne. We clip the following paragraph from the Constitution, which we know will be read with interest by the Doctor's many old friends in Anderson: "The profes sion of dentistry has an able and worthy representative in the person of Dr. Wal ker G. Browne, of this city. Dr. Browne is not only well thought of in Atlanta where he enjoys a large and liberal prac tice, but stands in tbe very front rank of bis profession throughout the country He has filled a number of important offices in the gift of his fraternity, in all of which he has demonstrated his superb ability and managed tbe affairs entrusted to him with absolute fairness and impar tiality. Dr. Browne- Is emphatically self-made man. For the high prestige to which he has attained among his col leagues in Atlanta, he is indebted to his steady application, a heart prepared for any fate, and a resolution to be awed by no difficulty. Without favor or political friendship, he has blazed his own pro fessional career, and kept his purpose steadily before him until now he com mands a position of honor and respecta bility of which no one need be ashamed Attractive in person, genial in manners and cordial in his dally intercourse with men, Dr. Browne has added to his skill the quality of social magnetism, %nd has made a host of friends since he has been a resident of this city." The largest crowd we have had in An derson this season was seen on the streets last Saturday. Doubtless a good portion of tbe crowd was attracted here on account of Dr. John Leo, who is selling some In dian remedies on the Court House Square every day, promising to make a crip pi from rheumatism walk without help. The cripple was Mr. Lewis White, a young man who is an employee of the Anderson Cotton Mills, bat who had been confined to bis bed, in a helpless condition for three months past with inflammatory rheuma? tism. It was about 4 o'clock when the young man, acoompanied by his mother was brought on tbe platform, which stauds on the east end of the Court House and by that time several thousand people had gathered to witness tbe scene. Dr Leo stripped tbe young man's pants to above tbe*knee, and called on any physi? cians who were present to come up and examine the afflicted leg. Drs. Harris and Duckett went up, and they pro? nounced It inflammatory rheumatism. After a vigorous application of the lini? ment by Dr. Leo, the young man was raised up, given a pair of crutches and walked aoroiis tbe stand. He was then seated and several bottles of the liniment was again applied. He was then told to get up, and, slightly limping, walked aoross tbe stand several times. This Beamed to give him more confidence, and, following Dr. Leo, walked out on the gangway, some twenty feet or more. He then walked up and down the steps, and the crowd cheered and cheered, and tbe poor mother could not keep her tears from flowing. A purse was made up at once and presented to her. The young man was sent homo, and has been walk? ing around every day with comfort and ease. Ho says ho has no pain, and hopes soon to go to work again. The cure was certainly remarkable. A Wedding at Houea Path. Broadmouth Church at Houea Path was the scene ol a very beautiful mar? riage which occurred at 11 o'clock on the morning of tbe 16th inst. The church was prettily decorated with chrysanthemums and other autumn flowers. The contracting parties were Mr. John F, Monroe and Miss Minnie Latimer,both of Honea, Path and Rev. W. R.

The ushers were Mr. Charlie Burts and Mr. Tom Latimer. of Honea Path. The bridal couple left immediately after tbe ceremony for Augusta and other cities and the attendants repaired to the hospitable borne of Mr. Latimer where they partook of a splendid dinner, and spent the remainder of the happy day in social pleasure and merriment.
