In early 'life be joined tbe Methodist Church, and throughout his life was a most devoted and zealous member. He pos? sessed tbe confidence and esteem of all bis friends and neighbors, and if be ever bad an enemy no one knew it. It has often been said by bis neighbors and old-friends that there was not a purer, more upright, honorable man than the deceased. He was a poor, humble oitizen, but by his death be leaves to bis loved ones a legacy in his life's record that iis greater than the honors and riches of this world. A widow ; and several sons and daughters are left to cherish his memory. We clip tbe following from tbe Dan? ville (Va.) Daily Register.-. "Tbe new drugstore of Messrs. McFall & Thomas, which is now open for business, is one of the handsomest and best equipped drug? stores in Virginia. It is located at No. 238 Main street. Tbe store is beautifully finished with antique oak counters, shelv? ing and casings, and the floor is to be laid in lineolum. The shelving and side cases are handsomely set with mirrors, and tbe counter show cases, also in an antique oak, are of the best. Taken altogether thiB is one of tbe most complete and one of the handsomest drug houses in tbe South. The proprietors are Messrs. J. C. McFall and H. W. Thomas. Mr. McFall is well known in Danville as an experi? enced druggist and presoriptionist, and bis reputation is well established.

The Fair Play correspondent of the Walhalla Cowier, writing under date of 2nd inst., says : "Tbe happy wedding bells rang merrily forth in our little town on last Wednesday nigbt at 8 o'clock. Mr. B. H. Hodges led to the altar Miss Roxie, the beautiful and popular daughter of our townsman,' Mr. B. A; Davis. The mar? riage ceremony was performed in a very impressive and quiet manner by the groom's brother-in-law. Rev. Mr. Crout, of Lowndesyille, S. C. The parlor was beautifully decorated with holly and ever* greens, interspersed with flowers. Only a few friends were gathered to witness the scene, which altogether was a lovely one. Tbe groom is tbe son of tbe late Rev. Mr. Hodges, (deceased), and is a young man of rare intellectual attainments. The bride is well known in this community as being a young lady possessed with rare beauty and intelligence. Mr. and Mrs. Hodges left on Thursday morning for their home in Anderson County. We wish them a prosperous and happy journey through life." Last Sunday night Rev. G. P Watson, pastor of tbe Methodist Church, began a series of illustrated sermons on the gen? eral subject, "Peculiar People," which he will continue through the next three com? ing Sunday nights. Each sermon will be illustrated by large paintings, which he will use in emphasizing the main points of his sermon. The subject of his sermon last Suuday night was "The Good for Nothings/' which will be followed next Sunday night by "The Kuow Nothings," The third sermon will tell of "Tbe Do Nuthiugs" and the fourth sermon "The Come to Nothings." His first sermon of the series was certainly most impressive and interesting. Afu-r announcing his j text from Jeremiah 13:10, Mr. Watson made a few introductory remarks and bo- j gan his sermon by : njuting to tbe paint iug, which represented the old prophet Jeremiah digging for his girdle which the Lord had instructed hisc to bury. From this bt drew some pretty lessons, showing that a girdle that bad been buried in the ground for some time and then unearthed was "good for nothing." The next illus? tration showed the fate of Sodom and Go? morrah, which he proved would be tbe fate of all the "good for nothings" of this world. Tbla was followed by another ainting, showing what a little cripple oy, who was thought to be "good for nothing," did to save his country from Napoleon's invading army. Heconcluded bis sermon by saying that "God has a plun for every man," and that if Chris? tians would make an effort to come out of the ranks of "The Good for Nothings" and do their doty, what a great work could be accomplished for the blessed Saviour. A large congregation was, pres? ent, and tbe sermon will doubtless be as seed Mown in good ground. Next Friday afternoon, nt 4 o'clock, Mr. Watson will have a service especially for children, and a cordial invitation is extended to all of tbe children of the city to attend. Last week the City Council received a circular letter from the State Board of Control, in which was quoted Section 10 of the new Dispensary Law, which pro? vides that one half of tbe profits of tbe County Dispensary shall be paid to the municipal corporation in which the Dis? pensary may be situated, provided "That if the authorities of any town or olty which, in the judgment of tbe State Board of Control, do not enforce this law, tbe Stale Board may withhold the part going to the said town or city and use it to pay State Constables." Then followed tbe statement that "there are ample provis? ions in tbe said Act giving policemen and marsballs tbe necessary power, without regard to any restrictions whioh may be in your charter. We shall be glad to nave your oo-operation and assistance, and will expeotan answer indicative of your pur? pose not later than tbe 15th of January." Tbe City Council adopted an ordinance against the selling of liquor by any one other than the County Dispenser and sent a copy of the same to the State Board of Control, saying that the ordinance would be enforced as any ordinance is, and say? ing further that there bad been no com? plaint, to their knowledge, against tbe present administration for lailure to enforce ordinances. Mrs. M. W. McBryde, relict of the late Rev. Thos. L. McBryde, D. D., and mother of Rev. John T. McBryde, died at her home in Pendloton on Thursday, December 20tb, of pneumonia, and tbe an? nouncement of her death will be read with sorrow throughout the upper portion of South Carolina, where she was well known and greatly beloved. Mrs. Mo Bryde was born in Athens, Ga., February 12,1820, and in 1838 married Dr. McBryde, who was then laboring in ibis section as a minister of the Presbyterian Church. Shortly after the marriage her husband was appointed a missionary to China, and she accompanied him to that heathen land. After some yesrs of labor In that country she with her husband returned to tbiB State, and Bpent some months at the hospitable borne of Judge Whitner, de? ceased, in Anderson. In the fall of 1851 she moved with her husband to Pendle ton, where she lived for forty-two yeara, honored and beloved by all who knew her. She possessed so many noble vir? tues of both mind and heart that our fee? ble pen cannot do justice to them. Her remains were laid to rest on the day fol? lowing her death, tbe services being con? ducted by the venerable Dr. Adger, who, in the course of his remarks, said: "If all in Pendleton lived as she did, Pendleton would indeed be a Heaven on earth." Needle's Newell News. We are having some bad, rainy weather now, and our roads are getting pretty tdoppy. By the Lime tbe farmers get ready to haul their fertilizers, they will be in a bad, bad fix. Several of our citizens who have been down with la grippe are convalescing. Rev. D. L Spearcnan filled his regular appointments at tbe Mountain Springs Baptist Church Saturday and Sunday. We see the old stereotyped "pitch your crop and work up to H" la on the road again. Havo heard her rung off several times recently. Messrs. H. A. Foster and G. B. Sheriff, two of our best obeck players, met last Friday in a contest for the championship. They played uutil 3 o'clock next morning and Mr, Foster came out victorious. The boys are talking of organizing a checker club. Tb?t was an observing fellow, if he hadn't seen but'seven summers, who said: "Oh, papa, why don't the editors quarantine against those correspondents taking up so much of their valuable space every week 'discussing the situation.' It has got to be an epidemic." Owing to the illness of the teacher, Mr. D. Edward King, tbe Mountain Springs school did not open on the 2nd inst., as was announced when they shut down for the holidays.- If able, (and we trust that be will be) tbe Professor will resume bis duties in tbe school room on Monday, tbe 15th. Patrons, please remember this. Our neighbor, Mr. Isaac Sheriff, had the misfortune to get his' dwelling house very badly smashed up last Wednesday. He was having tbe top cut out or a large and very tali shade tree that stands in bis yard and it fell upon the house, breaking in tbe roof and demolishing several pieces of furniture. Luckily every member of the family was out at the time and no one was hurt. Brother "Grit," the Cedar Grove cor? respondent of the Intelligencer in his last week's communication said: "Whis? key wagons have been moving around in this section, and as a consequence you can get all the whiskey you want. The dis? pensary law is doing no good, for whiskey is being sold all through the country." From what we can gather the same state of affairs exist in many other sections. But, hush 1 If Tillman gets wind of it be will send in some of his spies, and he couldn't please our boys better. They are just itching to get hold of one of them; they want to experiment on him a while and then place him in their mu? seum. As soon as it clears up now and tbe ground gets dry euougb to plow our far? mer boys will make the welkin ring with their merry voices. The boys will do some good work preparing for another crop. We can almost hear the trace chains rattling as they go to the field, see them hitch up, grasp the plow handles and in an appropriate tone yell: "Git up, Kit! Woo, gee! Ha! there, I Bay!" He or tbe mule one has forgotten which is which, but they catch on directly and the work-prooeeds nicely. After he has gone a round or two he pulls off his ooat and bangs it on a bush just as he has seen his father do many a time, and everything is easy. A happier lad you couldn't find were you to travel the world over. Ob, bow well do I remember the first day that I plowed! How hard I worked to try to raise a sweat and what a man I thought I was, going round for round with the men and riding; home with them at noon and at night. I now realize that my "plow-boy days" were my happiest, and it gives me pleasure to recall them. People may say what they please about the farm, call the farmer a hayseed and a fool, but it -don't make bim so. Only three per cent, of the men engaged in other lines of business es? cape failure, and only three per oent of farmers fail. Tbe man who owns a farm and stioks to it is certain of an eventual profit. The man who owns a farm Is rich ! We know that it is a time-worn phrase but we will repeat it, "young man, stick to the farm !" It is aafer than banking, manufacturing or railwaying. JN'ed Needle. A Card of Thanks. Messrs. Editors : Through Drs. S. G. Bruce and W. K. Sharp, I received to? day forty-six dollars and forty-five cents as a contribution from sundry "charitably disposed persons" towards helping to pay for my new horse, iu lieu of the ope it waa my misfortune to lose sometime ago. Had received one dollar before for the same purpose from an old Roberts Church friend, who was visiting at my home. I desire now, through your paper, to ex? press my sincere thanks to all of these kind persons, and to wish for each of them an abundant reward not only materially, but spiritually as well. T. C.

Church for fifty years, and her friends have the assurance that she ia now at rest with the Saviour, whom she delighted to serve. She was buried on Saturday in the Little Mountain grave? yard. Four children are left to mourn her death, and in their bereavement they have our sympathy. Bad colds seem to be pretty general in this community. One of the luxuries we had the pleasure of partaking of during Christmas was a fine watermelon, which had been saved over from last summer. Marriages are so numerous in this sec? tion, Mr. Editor, that we cannot mention all of them. However, there are a few girls left, thank the Lord, and tbey have a great many old, rnsty boys (the writer among the number) to ohoose a husband from. If any of the fair sex start on a hunt, we hope tbey will give us a call. Mr. 8. 0.

The1 still adhere to their own language, fev. of them being able to speak Euglish. They, like the red men in general, never want to be civilized enough to much hard work. That U one ol . the accomplishments of the pale-face that they regard as unfit for warriors, and should only be tolerated when per? formed by squaws. During the hunt? ing and fkhing season the bucks are seldom found at home, as they had rather hunt a deer ten hours a day for a week than hoe a half acre-of. coru. This rambling life, spent on rip? pling streams, mirror lakes and virgin forests, studying the beautiful foliage, the exquisite colorings of the forest leaves, the lovely hues of the prairie flowers, and their natural blending and shading to produce brilliant and showy effects. These dreamy hours, spent in studying nature, has developed a very keen conception of the artistic blend? ing of colors, so as to produce most gorgeous results. For centuries ms&s they have studied the making of oril^l liant and delicate colored dyes, untilis at last they have acquired such skill* that they can dye strips of wood that) cannot be distinguished from the finest colored ribbons. These stripsof ash are then heated, so that the colors wiii " be "fast," when they are wound in amiT^ out in the most beautiful styles of Bac? kets, and when finished they represent a, picture of color-blending unequalled in a studio.
