Mr. Hall is in hi* 82nd year, and, with the exception of occasional attacks of rheumatism. Is holding bid own very well. He informed us that the barn end crib with all the corn and cotton of one of his neighbors, Mr. J. J. Blanche t, was destroyed by fire yester? day. It is supposed to be the work of an Incendiary.

She -bad been In 'feeble health for several months, and'had gone up to Central to visit her relatives.

Her remains were brought here Saturday morning on tho train and then carried to First Creek Churoh for Inter* ment. Th i3 Barn well Sentinel put it this way: "We suppose that the stock of advice laid up for the Legislature will be, strictly speaking, of the Tjllman brand, suoh as may come from the jaws of suoh journals as tho Columbia Register, the Abbeville Mediw 'j the Lau roue vi lie Herald and a few umaller lights who have never yet found out what the soil on which they stand is most likely to produce. So far as we are concerned, we would bo pleased to entrust the whole business to the Hon. Joshua W. Ashley, of Andenion County, and say no more about it. He is a true Reformer and would reform the Re? formers." The Rough and Ready Firemen are ar? ranging to have a dinner in O'Donneh's Hall, on Tuesday, 26th inst.. fur the bene? fit of their Company. Wm. Olliver, Jonas Edwards and Jess. Williams have been appointed to solicit donations of either money or edibles, and. they will call on their white friends to assist them. The colored firemen are always ready and willing to respond to the fire alarm, and never tire In working to save our homes or other' property from the destructive flames. We hope our citizens generally will contribute liberally to this occasion, and show the colored firemen that we ap? preciate their work in time of need. Johnnie, a 14-year old^ son of* Mr. J. Harvey Little, who lives near Holland's Store, met with a fatal accident at bis homo Tuesday morning He left home early; In the moruing to go to a field to plow, and was riding a mule. From some unknown cause the mule became fright? ened, and Johnnie-was thrown or fell to the ground, and bis feet gelling caught in the aearing. be was dragged by the mule a distance of fifty yards or more. I Some member of the family soon reached the unfortunate boy, wbo was unconscious. He was carried to the bouse, and before a physician could reach him he died. The unfortunate acoident was a terrible blow to the family, who, in their sore bereave? ment, have the sympathies of a large cir? cle of friends and acquaintances May God comfort and console the saddened household. Rev. R. W. Seymour, in writing to the Oeonee Newa of the recent Baptist Con* ventlon in .this city concludes his article with this paragraph: "The Convention was one of the best we have had in years. Anderson has treated ' us handsomely ; give us splendid homes and matchless oopiUlity, and whenever the time comes for us to go back to that noble, stirring city you may rust assured that the vote will be unanimous. Judge Cox, than whom, a nicer and more affable Christian* gentleman never lived, showed us nil the attention and kindness needed. This ac? count of our receut Convention would be incomplete if I did not say something about the musio and singing. This was grand. No place in South Carolina can Beat it. Mrf>. Cora Ligon, daughter of the lute tion. J. P. Reed, of Anderson, sang several solos during the Convention. I have beard solos in Charleston and else? where, but I have never beard any singing to equal that of Mrs. Li gor.. Her voice is well trained, completely under her con? trol, and her singing is melting and aspir? ing. God bless the people of Anderson." Ed. Herrington,; a young white man from the Cray ton section of this County, was in the city Tuesday soliciting sub? scriptions for one J. C. Smith, whom he claimed had lost his dwelling bouse and all of its contents by fire a few days ago; He received a liberal subscription from many of. our citizens. This Is the third nr fourth time that Herrington has recently solicited subscriptions in the city for va? rious persons, and his appearance yester? day aroused the suspicions of two or three citizens, and they reported'. bim to the police. The officers investigated the matter and found that Herrington was an im poster, and at once began looking for bim. They soon, found him, and from his condition it was evident that the Dispen? sary had secured some of the money that he had collected for the relief of "Mr. Smith." He was looked up, and Mayor Tolly will let him wear the ball and chain on the Btreets for at least thirty days, and then he will be turned over to the State Courts. One of his neighbors says he in a rascal, and 'that he played the same trick on the citizens of Greenville not long ago. He is a aative of Edgefield County, but has been living in this County several years. Poultry and Pet Stock Exhibition. The second annual exhibiblt of tho Anderson County Poultry and Pet Stock Association opened yesterday in the Bell store-room, and will continue through to-day and to-morrow. The Association had determined to make it a success, and they have not been disappointed. When we entered the exhibition this morning we were amazed, and could have spent several hours viewing the beautllnl col? lection of fowls, pigeons, etc There are over 590 fowls on exhibition, com? prising all the different breeds how. being raised in the South. Our limited time enabled us only to note a few of ihe pret? tiest fowls. W. E. Lee exhibits several coops, and his Black Langshan and Black Mluorcas attract a great deal of attention. W. G. Hembree exhibits a fine variety of different breeds, and his Buff Cochins and Partridge Cochins are very pretty. J. L. Jolly has a large exhibit, and his brag fowls are Brown Leghorns and In? dian Games, and they are admired by every visitor. J. H.

C. ex? hibits a coop each of Golden Wyandots and Rose Comb Brown Leghorns. T. E. Vlokery, of Hartwell, Ga., has a big exhibit as well as a fine one. There are many other exhibitors who have perhaps equally as attractive ex? hibits as those we have mentioned, but our limited space forbids mention. We advise those who have not yet vis? ited the exhibition to do so at once. The ladies, especially, will enjoy it. The As? sociation has had considerable expense in arranging for the exhibition, and charge the small sum of ten cents for ad? mission to help defray the expenses. J. A. Daniels has five right new solid gold stem-winding watches; peats size; at $25 each, spot cash, for ten diya only. Next door to Postoffice, South Carolina Conference. The one hundred and eighth annual session of the South Carolina M. E. Con? ference was held at Sumter last week, and the Sumter Watchman says it was the largest gathering of Methodists ever held in the State. Bishop B. E. Hargrove pre? sided, and the proceedings throughout were of exceeding interest. The reports from the preachers, in the main, were encouraging and show the Church to be in a growing, vigorous con? dition. In the matter of finances the re? ports were not up to the usual average, tbe bard times and the disasters which have befallen the people of tba State hav? ing had the effect of decreasing collections. The report of Mrs. J. W. Humbert, Cor? responding Secretary of the Woman's Missionary Society of South Carolina was read.

We had the pleasure of attending Church at Pisgab, where we met our for? mer teacher, Mrs. Nettie Burdine. She used to teach the Tuckervillo school, and it is with the fondest memories that we look back and see her untiring efforts in trying to train our illiterate mind so it would expand and grow to something useful. We now realize and appreciate her unflagging determination to make us grow up to become useful citizens. It always makes us glad to meet any one of our old teachers, for we can't never know how much we owe to them. We are proud to nay that we were once a pupil of so excellent a lady. We wish that there were more as good teachers as Mrs. Burdine was. The girls have organized a riding club, and there are some good equestrians among thorn. We are proud to say that the girls have taken this step,, for some good will result. It means better fig? ures,' rosier cheeks and brighter eyes. There is no prettier picture than to see a pretty girl seated upon a spirited horse at sun-set, when the aurora bo real is lights up the western sky and tints forest and hills with evanescent light.

Madam Rumor says we are to have a couple of weddings Christmas. Don't fr rgetSam. If he la little, his .appetite is good. One of our little tots has been credited with making the following hit in regard to Alliance caucuses. (Her daddy came home from an Alliance now-wow a little the worse for tbe anti-dispensary imbib ulution idea.) The little one toddled up to him and innocently asked: "Papa) what is a colicky meeting? And he replied: "Idon't know. Why do you ask?" She replied: "'Cause mamma said you had gone to one." We are in? formed that the Alliance bas been hold? ing a caucus on Gov. Tlllman's increased tax. Yes, they have got tbe colic and they've got it bad, and we hope they can't find a remedy that will relieve them. They ought to have had more sense than to elect him a second time. And. we sincerely hope he will tighten the screws on them 'till they won't have loom enough to squeal. Last year all you could hear was I Hurrah for Uncle Ben: And now the Alliance is getting Mighty sick of him. They took their crow And they took it hearty. But now they are picking the buzzard Of the Republican-Populist Party. Sam Dewberry. Townville Locals. Mr. R. 8. Fant, living near this place, had the misfortune to break his arm the other day.

Mr. Editor, wo attended the State Bap ?bt Convention that met in your city last week. It was a love feast to hear those grand old men talk of their labors in the vineyard of-tbe Lord. I wish that every Christian in our State could have been there and heard those eloquent sermons and the soul-inspiring talks that were made by those noble men of God. Be? cause to hear such men as Drs. Burrows, McConnell, Bailey, Manly, Willlngham and many others, ia instructive as well as edifying. Well, last but not least, was our entertainment. We were assigned to Mrs. Jane Todd's, and were entertained royally. Mrs. Todd keeps a first-class boarding house, and everybody tries to outdo somebody else in entertaining fnests. But what am I talking about, for love all tbe Anderson folks, and don't know when to leave when I get to Ander? son. I called on some of my Anderson friends to contribute to one of onr noble preach? ers who had lost all tbe horse he bad, and almost every man that I asked give all I asked for. and give it cheerfully.

Newell Dots. Oui people bad a hog killing time last week. We hear that wedding bells will ring again soon. Visitors have been quite numerous hereabout for the past week. Local weatber prophets predict a contin? uance of this "bad weather." The boys are rounding up their work preparatory to Uklng In the Christmas holidays. Now is the time to balance up accounts. A gcod time also to subscribe for agricul? tural and other papers. Christmas is nearly here. MaVe a searching survey of the departing year, and plan for improvement in the future by avoiding errors of the past. Married, on lasi; Sunday morning, De? cember 10th, 1893, by John T. Wiglngton, Notary Public, at his residence, Mr. Rome Bryant and Miss Julia Davis, both of this vicinity. The attendance at tbe Mountain Springe school has been larger this season than usual. A fact that we are proud to note. Would suggest thai; tbe patrons chip in a few dollars now and have the school room celled. In its present condition it is very uncomfortable. A victim of domestic infelicity who is in the habit of dreaming should never go to sleep In the posto:fice on a rainy day. A crowd of boys at the Newell postoffloe was somewhat startled a few days ago when a brother who was holding down a dry goods box near tbe fire place yelled : "See here 1 old woman, drop that poker!'' Ned Needle. Iva News. I am glad to be able to say, Messrs. Editors, that the son of our late fellow citizen, Mr. L. E. Hall, is last recover? ing. This family has been sorely afflict? ed, and our people deeply sympathize with them in their bereavement. Our young people expect to meet next Thursday night and organize a literary society, which may prove very beneficial to them. And it li hoped that it will bo prove. Business in our little town is tolerably good considering the low price of cotton and the scarcity of money. Our mer? chants are paying the best prices for cotton seed, cotton, and chickens and eggs. Really cotton seed have sold for higher piices here than in Anderson. The school-house and grounds are now alive with the merry boys and girls. Mr. C. Wardlaw is the teacher. Tie has the prospect of a fiue school. Tho roll already contains tho names of more than thirty pupils. Mrs. Hall, who keeps hotel for us, is having her house very much improved by the use of the paint brush. Mr. L. B. Speer is doing the work. Mr. Al. Galley is soon to become a citizen of Cooks. He is building a neat cottage. Mr. Sam'l. Whaton will soon move to this place. So you see we are building up right along. Mir. A. W. McKee has just built and mo ved into a beautiful dwelling in our town. We have room for more. ?* Little Girls t Come and see the live tic 11 an I bird at John T, Burris8', 20?o , 'Squire Fe well Discusses Hogs, Poll tics, etc. Of all the good times of the year?the time most eujoyed by a majority of tho people?I believe hog-killing ia the best. Some Bay spring is tbe best time, the most lovely, some say summer, and some one time and some another, but I like bog killing time the beat. Some of our neigh? bors have killed and so have we, and I tell you it makes things look better about the house, and the "old 'oman" don't have to study so long to know what to cook for dinner, for it is easy enough to go and get some ribs or Bausage and fry. So you see it evenci up our conjugal relations and brings about a sort of armistice or com? promise that nothing else wiil do, and for that reason I am in favor of hog-killing time, especially when bacon and lard are so scarce and high. Our friend and neighbor, Mr. D. Edward King, who is always equal to tbe emergency, supplied a few of us with pigs last fall, and it would surprise you, Mr. Editor, to know how much hue pork that one litter of pigs has furnished this neighborhood. Mr. 0. J. Murphy killed two weighing, respect? ively, 350 and 314 pounds. Mr. H. R. Jones, two, each weighing 306, J. W. Lee, one, 307 pounds, W. F. Lee, one, weigh? ing 350 pounds, and Mr. King, keeping one himself, which weighed 320 pounds all the above weights being net and aggre? gating 2253 pounds. And that was not all of the pigs, at that, for some of them were killed last winter. These pigs were about fourteen months old at the time they were killed. I believe that it is a sign of better times ahead to see and hear of so many fine porkers being salted down. If we only bad an economical State Government to back us in our effort) to be seif-Bupporting we might conclude that our time for better livibg was at hand, but with all tbis willful waste and ex? travagance now going on both in the Leg islature and Executive departments, I don't see any very great bonanza before us?not soon, at least. I predicted three years ago that four years of Tillman rule would put ub in a worse condition than C. H. Chamberlain left us, and I stick to it yet, only I am afraid we will be worse off than I ai t c pa e. I have before me a paper called tbe Governor's Message to the General Assem? bly, which I donbt if it can be duplicated by anything that bas been written before purporting to be a State paper by a States? man (?). What a contrast between it and the Message of the President to Congress ? In the former you find nothing but vitu? peration and abuse, while in the latter, wbioh is not so voluminous in words, you find nothing but reason and suggestions of the soundest judgment, indicating that there is thought behind it, backed by rea? son and common sense, tbe result of a careful study by one of the most powerful minds now in America. What grand words are those of the President when he says: "The recent repeal of the provision of law requiring the purohase of silver bullion by tbe Government as a feature of our monetary scheme has made an entire change in the complexion of our currency affairs. I do not donbt that the ultimate result of this action will be moat salutary and far reaching. In the nature of things, however, it is impossible to know at tbis time precisely what conditions will be brought about by the change, or what, if any. supplementary legislation may, in the light of such conditions, appear to be essential or expedient. Of course, after the recent financial perturbation, time is necessary for tho re-establishment of busi? ness confidence. When, however, through this restored confidence the money which has been frightened into hoarding-places is returned to trade and enterprise, a sur? vey of the situation will probably disclose a sale path leading to a permanently sound currency, abundantly sufficient to meet every requirement of our increasing population and Jbusinesa, In the pursuit of this object we should resolutely turn away from alluring sod temporary expe? dients, determined to be content with nothing less than a lusting and compre? hensive financial plan. In these circum? stances I am convinced tbat a reasonable delay In dealing with this subject, instead of being injurious will increase the prob? ability of wise action." Now this sounds like it had some com? mon sense. But just listen to one of these Third-party-free-silvor-Tillmanites. He can tell yon what we ne ;d now and what Congress ought to do without waiting to see what effect the repea l bill has on busi? ness. Mr. Cleveland acknowledges that it is hard to tell, or at least he can't ex? actly see what will be the outcome when he says: "In tbe nature of things, how? ever, it is impossible to know at tbis time prec.jely what conditions will be brought about by tbe change, or what, if any, sup? plementary legislation, may, in tbe light of such conditions, appear to be essential or expedient." I.' he had consulted Mr. Latimer, or some of the other Third Party members in Congress, or had subscribed for the People's Advocate, published at Anderson, be could have solved all of these vexing financial problems. But, to my mind, tbat is one of his best qualities and not a fault. If a. man don't know a thing, I love to see blm have the manhood to aay so, and if be is in fault I like to see blm acknowledge it like our great and good General R. E. Lee did when he said, after the battle of Gettysburg was lost, tbat it was all bis fault. I can say one thing for our Governor's Message: that it has tbe least information to tbe amouut of words used, of any pa? per that I have ever read. Being filled up with abuse of Judges, Courts and Corpo? rations, it has no room for any reasonable recommendations to the General Assem? bly. I reckon he will have tbe Legisla? ture to repeal or reverse the decision of the 'Supreme Court in the railroad cases, so that Congress will have to make ohaoges in the laws relating to trials by tbeUoited States Courts for ibis State, or Empire, as yon might say. Ii does look like tbat if Governor Tillman had any reasonable followers they would become disgusted with tbe way. things are going and turn away from him, but tbe majority of bis followers still stick to him. Like a mis? treated wife, the more she is abused tbe closer she will cling to her tyrant hus? band. Notwithstanding all tbia, I still have an abiding faith in the judgment of Mr. Cleveland and his advisers and the ma? jority in Congress, that our financial situa? tion will be straightened out and business wll be on a regular boom by another twelve months, and maybe we will have a Democratic State Government instead of tbe monarchy we now have. There's no telling what a day will bring forth. We went up to the city?our city of Anderson?last Monday, Saleday, and met quite a number of our old friends, who we were proud to meet, among them John T. Green, cne of our old schoolmates. John is a little older than I am?he was when we went to school together. But I tell you John was mighty good to us smaller fellows and I reckon he's that way yet. I love to meet up with these old cronies with whom we have spelled together and ciphered together (but John couldn't down me in ''Aggers" if he was the big? gest) end played roley hole and town oat and bull pen and fox chase together. It makes us feel young again until we start off walking, and then our old stiffened joints remind us tbat we are not so young as we used to be, and despite all the kick? ing and squirming we can do we are on tbe down bill side of life, and are appa? rently travelling a great deal faster than we did coming up on the other side. I would love to meet all tbe boys I used to associate with at school. It la like meet? ing some of my old army comrades, it brings to mind some sweet memories of the past that we never think of unless we meet with each other. My old school? mates are like the old soldiers of the Com Eany I was in. I don't tbiok any of them aveever been hung or put in the Peni? tentiary, but one of the school boys bas got into Tillman's Legislature, and I don't see bow he did It. They must have slipped upon him- Squire Fkwel, A Card of Thanks. Whereas, on the 19th ult., God saw cause to remove from us our little son, Clarence, we wish to thank tbe people and friends for their kindness through his sickness. May God bless each and every one of them for his good. John W. Broadweli,, Eugenia E. Broabwell. . LOST?Last Friday, in this city, some? where between the Baptist Church and G. E.
