Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Mauldln celebrated tlbeir "Crystal Wedding" on last Monday evening. The presents were numerous, pretty and useful. Tbe decorations were evergreens and flowers.

Last Saturday evening and Sunday this section was visited by one of the severest snow and sleet storms we bave expert- I enced in a long time. The wind was blowing at the same time, and it was very cold. Tbe snow and sleet averaged a depth of four or five inches. The storm was general tbrougbont the country, and extended farther south than it has been known to do in a long time. In a private letter from Mr. Henry Gen try, formerly of this County, bot now a citizen of DeKalb County, Oa., he begs to be remembered to all of his old friends. He says he is getting along nicely on bis farm, and the Lord has prospered him. He says his section is blessed with nn- I merous Churches and good preachers, and that all tbe people are deeply interested in the work of the Church. His old friends in this County, we know, will be j delighted to hear such a good report from him. An exchange Bays: Men or women who have always a tale to tell of "how he suf? fered that way himself' should be kept out of the patient's room. Their sympathy will do barm every time. In the sick chamber, if the patient can see company at all, there should be only bright, cherry talk, and the creature with "symptoms" can talk a man into having any and every disease on earth in less than half an hour. A sick man should be led to forget his ills, and not to rehearse them or com? pare notes. Cm of our good lady subscribers has a chicken which she calls her '-Intelligen? cer hen," which, she says, is one of the best of her whole lot. From tbe sale of the broods of this hen she pays her sub? scriptions to her County paper as well as ' her religious paper, and then has a nice little Bum to contribute to the. work of the Church. This example is worth follow ing by other good women, as tbey can so cure plenty of good reading matter and contribute something to their Church and never feel it. Last Tuesday afternoon Mrs. C. A. Reed and Mrs. Richard Ligon gave a yellow t-ja at their residence on North Main street. The decorations were palms and ferns. The dining-room was redolent with tbe odor of freesias and jonquils, and tbe lat? ter were the favors laid at each plate. A delicious and elaborate menu was beauti? fully served by eight young ladies, who were dressed in evening dresses, Swiss caps and aprons, with dainty yellow rib? bon bows. Tbe entertainment was highly enjoyed by all present. Messrs. Hugh Russell and Ojwald Brea zeale have purchased the interest of Mr. Tbad. Stokes in tbe business of Stokes Bros., on south Main street, and, with Mr. A. H. Stokes, will continue the busi? ness under tbe firm name of A. H. Stokes 4c Co. They have something to say to tbe readers of tbe Intelligencer in another column, and we advise you to read tbeir advertisement. They wiil keep a full line of fancy and family groceries, cigars, tobacco, confectioneries, etc., and will please you in prices. Give these young gentlemen a call, and they will treat you very clever. Ernest F. Cochran, Esq., who left An? derson a few weeks ago to visit tbe Mid Winter Exposition in California, is so well pleased with thai State that he has decided to make it his future borne. He has settled at Los Angel ?s, where he has formed a partnership with ex-Judge R. B. Carpenter, formerly of 8outh Carolina, and will praotice his profession, law. Mr. Cochran is a most excllent, genial young man, and, while we regret to lose him as a oitizen of Anderson, we join bis many friends here in wishing bim much suc? cess in his new home. Judge Carpenter has a fine practice thore, and Mr. Cochran, who is a bright and studious lawyer, will no doubt be a valuable aid to bim. '.'A new game is brought out this winter modeled after the old one called "Conse? quences." This is call "The Reviewers," and is played as follows: Every member of the paity is provided with a sheet of note paper. A writes the title (real or imaginary) of a book, folds it down and passes it to B, who gives it an author, covers it and gives tbe paper to C, who adds a motto. D. writes an opinion of the press, E a second, all that has gone before being unknown to the players. The writers then change places and papers are passed round once more, so that there may be fresh reviewers for each paper. Finally the papers are read ont aloud. On Wednesday and Thursday nights, March 7th and 8th, the citizens of Ander? son will be given an opportunity to hear the Sherwood Youth Band, composed of twenty colored orphans, from 5 to 16 years of age, in a literary and musical en? tertainment. This Band is travelling in aid of the Sherwood Orphan Home, of Pe? tersburg, Va. The character of their se? lection's and the wonderful ability dis? played in their rendition, have astonished all who bave heard them. The most crit? ical audiences are enthusiastic in their praise. A full set of choice Band instru? ments, including clarinets and Baxaphones add to the rioh and melodious harmony for which this B;md is noted. Prices, 35 and 25 cents; children under 12 years, 15 cents. Chemiault?Stevenson. On Tuesday evening, at 9 o'clock, Mr. A. F. Chennault, of Lincoln County, Ga., led Mrs. Olivia Moore Stevenson, of this city, to the hymeneal altar. The marriage ceremony was beautifully and impressively performed by Rev. D. E. Frierson, D. D., of the Presbyterian Church. At the hour named quite a number of friends had gathered at the lovely home of the bride, on South Main street, to wit? ness the happy event. The parlors were tastily decorated with ivy and beautiful hot house flowers, and as the happy couple stood in the centre of the floor, surrounded by the merry crowd of friends, listening to the impressive and solemn words of the minister, a pretty scene was presented. The bride wore a lovely China silk with lace drapery, and diamond ornaments. After the usual congratulations had been extended, the dining-room was thrown open, and the bountiful feast which was spread before the guests would have convinced an epicure that the hostess was no novice in the culinary art. For several hours following music and mirth reigned, and the happy guests, were loth to depart when the wee small hours rolled around. The bride is one of Anderson's most excellent ladies, and the groom, who is an extensive and prosperous farmer of Lincoln County, Ga., is fortunate in his selection of a wife. The couple left the city this morning on the Savannah Valley train for the groom's home, where they will spend a few days. They will return to Anderson and make this their home.

Van Wyck, two of Anderson's moat prominent men, were in the city last week. There has been so much complaint in this country about bard times and the scarcity of money, that I thought I would tell what I think is the cause: "We buy more than we produce. "We let our timber rot and buy our ax bandies, hoe handles, singletrees, and plow stocks. "There is too much bacon and flour shipped here every year. The very things that we ought to make at home we are baying. '"We almost give away our beef hides and buy hamestrings and shoestrings and all other kinds of strings. "We buy guano and throw away onr manure, which Is better than guano. "We throw away our ashes and buy soap and axle grease. '?Wo bay cabbage in the winter and garden seeds In the spring. "We let our land grow up in bushes and buy our brooms. "We throw away the wax out of our gum trees and buy chewing gum for our children. '?We raise dogs and buy wool. "We send a fifty cent boy out with a twenty-five dollar gun and a five dollar dog to kill the poor little birds. "And about the only things that there are an overproduction of in this country are dogtics and politics." Jetek H. Photographs, I am now with Mr. L. A. McCord over Will R.

Miss Eliza Gantt, of this place, as Secre? tary of the Wo man's Mission Union, sent a box of quilts to tbe Connie Maxwell Or? phanage last week. You are helping a good cause, Miss Eliza, when you help the orphans, and when you want a contri? bution for them don't forget to call on Old Rosin De Bow. Rev. J. F. Singleton, of this place, preached an excellent sermon in the Bap? tist Church here on the 3rd Sunday. Subject: "Hallowed be thy name." It was one of a series of sermons that Rev. Sin? gleton is preaching on the Lord's prayer. Mr. 8. E. Gilbert, living near this place, went through the late war, and a braver soldier was not found in the army that faced tbe enemy and fought better than j he. Mr. Gilbert was wounded in the . Wilderness, being Bhot through the wrist, I and is now unable to work and in a help less oondition. We think that if any man deserves a pension, it is Mr. Gilbert. The Commissioners have been refusing bim a pension, but surely, after knowing tbe facts in tbe ease, they will grant It. Mr. G. W. Grant, living near this place, is as proud as Ben. Til 1 man ; "it's a boy." Mr. W. W. Hayes, living over the line in Oconee, bad a bee gum stolen tbe other night. The thief carried the gum down in the bottoms and, after possessing himself of all the honey in the gum, he withdrew, leaving the gum behind. The Woman's Mission Society, of this place, had a meeting in \he Baptist Church here last Thursday evening. Mrs. H. T. Brown was elected President, Miss M. A. Bruce Vice-Preaident, and Miss Eliza Gantt Secretary. The meeting was well attended, and the Rev. J. F. Single? ton made a speech before the body. The old nigger said that he was not afraid of the Constables Bhootlng bim when he came to arrest bim, because it was agin the law, but if the Constable git his hands on you then you must cease to exist (resist). Rev. J. L. Yass, Superintendent of tbe Connie Maxwell Orphanage, will be witb the Townvllle Baptists the first Saturday and Sunday in March.

Cedar Grove Items. I think we will bave some weddings to report in the near future by the way some of our young men are corresponding with tbe fair sex. Mr. Hugh Mahaffey, Jr., and wife, of Williamston, visited this section last week. Our Alliance is cn a boom at this place now, and the farmers are sticking closer together than ever before, and say tbey are going to work and make times better. Brother farmers, stick to the work part and you'll succeed. Your correspondent visited the Possum Ridge side not long ago, and found things lively over there, with plenty of every? thing good to eat, and some of the pretti? est girls we ever saw. We also found a very handsome Cbnrch erected at Union Grove, which speaks well for that neigh? borhood. ? One of our widowers has painted his buggy very nicely. We believe he means business now. I noticed tbe Roberts correspondent is in favor of working tbe roads with convicts, and asks the opinion of ether correspond? ents on the subject. I, for one, am in fa? vor of better roads in this country than we have nowadays for many reasons. By having good roads we would save the wear and tear of our vehicles by a large per cent. We would save our stock and r.de more comfortable while taking our after? noon rides. What looks better in a com? munity than to see real good roads and bridges ? You all knbw the plan the roads are worked now. Road overseers are ap? pointed and given bands tJ work. Tbey will take their hands out and stay on the roads six or eight days, and when the road is left tbey have put about two days square work on it. I believe the method of work? ing the roads by taxation is the thing we need. It is by this plan that all who are bound to road duty will have to pay their tax of $2 OD. Then the man who has the contract can hire you, if you like, and pay you 60c. or 60c per day, and then if a man didn't work turn him off and get one that would. We wonld get more work out of the same number of hands in one day than h, done in fonr or five at present. Let's watch the new County law and see if it is a success. It' it is, we may know it is a good law. Pigs are in great demand in this section. Our farmers will plant more cotton this season than usual. Mr. A. L. Copeland Bays he will take bis part of the cotton crop in onions. I heard an old gentleman remark the other day that if any one were to ask bim where tbe dispensary was at in Anderson he could not tell to save his life. If all the people were this way, and would get Leo to open the eyes of the blind tigers, we would have true prohibition. A very heavy sleet fell here last Sunday. Mr. Warren Johnson is visiting rela? tives in this section. Obit. Holland's Store. Winter is upon us in earnest. Every? thing is covered with the beautiful snow. Our lovers of sport have had fine fun after the rabbits. Quite a number have been bagged. The weather for the last week or so has been such that our farmers have done but little farm work, especially in the way of ploughing. The health of our community is good, so far as we are informed. No preaching last Sunday, as the day was too severe. The roads are almost impassable. We are in favor of working them by taxation first, last and all the time. In that case there would be no axes to grind, no fawn? ing, nc setting on the fence, but business at once. We hear very little said about politics and tbe coming elections. However, we hear some names mentioned in connec? tion with the various offices to be filled next fall. Our farmers will commence to put in guano as soon as the weather settles. All upland corn should be planted in a few weeks. "Those who profess to know" say now is the time to bed your potatoes. Miss Fleda Sullivan, of this section, is visiting relatives in Anderson this week. Miss Ada Fleming is on a visit to rela? tives in Georgia for a few days. Mrs. Josie Dobbins, of Hart County, Ga.. is visiting her sister, Mrs. Holland, at this place. Miss Lucy Carter is at Dallas, Ga.. spending some time with relatives and friends. During a recent visit to Hartwell, Ga., we could not help but notice the advanced condition and improvements on every band. The town is certainly on a boom. A prettier place or cleverer people we don't know. Our lady friends are making consid? erable progress in tbe chicken line. Quite a number are already hatched and others will soon follow. We have an eye to the candidates welfare this summer, and are making arrangements accord? ingly. Burke. Moseley Items. Mr. W. A. McKinney came in from* Clark's Hill last week, and will go to work on the farm with bis father. Mr. Allen Banister, from Bradly, S. C, was circulating in our midst recently. Miss Rosa McAlister returned from Mt. Carmel last Monday, and will reside with her brother of this place. She will be quite an addition to Barnes society. Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Evans, from Bio, Ga., were visiting in this section last week. Some of our most popular young men are not calling on their best girls any more, but go to see their parents occa? sionally. Mr. C. J. Hampton, of the Rocky Riv? er section, passed through here again last Saturday p. m. Mr. John G. Burriss, of Flatwoods, Ga., passed through here recently, returning from Fair Play, S. C, where he had been' on an important mission. Mr. Burriss is a polished young man, and would be a splendid catch for tbe young ladies. There are many other things we might tell the dear girls in connection with the above, but will do like Sam Weiler, "drop off suddenly, to make 'em want to hoar more." Mrs. W. T. McGee, with her daughter, Miss Minnie, and Mr. and Mrs. E. J. McGee, were up on the river last week near Baxter. Those wishing to know the object of their visit will ask Miss Minnie. Married, at the residence of R. P. Mar? tin, N. P., 16th inst., Mr. Will. McNalrr of this place, and Miss Lula Frith, of Mt. Carmel. Pedro.

Floor paints, stains and wall finishings at Wilhite's. Helton Motes. Last Sunday morning, when the Bel tonians awoke* from their slumbers, they found the earth wrapped in a beautiful mantle of snow. Rev. H. Turner Smith was prevented by sickness from filling his regular ap? pointments last Saturday and Sunday at Union church in Laurens county. Dr. Bowen relapsed last week and had quite a sick spell, but we are glad to know that ho is now improving rapidly. The Belton High School received last Monday twenty elegant new desks, manufactured by the Gates Desk Com? pany, of Greenville, S. C. These desks seem to be a real first-class job, as they are neat, comfortable and durable. The Knights of Pythias, whc recently instituted a lodge in our town, have ordered the furniture to fit up their lodge room. The Belton High School continues to increase its numbers. This is as it should be, and yet there are a good many chil? dren in Belton and others within reach of the school who are not going to school. The typo, devil, or somdbody else made us say in the Belton Items last week, in the item in reference to a taxation for a free publio school for the whole session, possibility where we intended to fizy feasibility. But we suppose the fault must have been ours, as the word was, in all probability, not very easily made out. Mrs. H. Turner Smith has been quite sick at her sister's, Mrs. J. T. Smith, of our town. Will it not pay the real estate owners in any community to pay a sufficient tax to educate free of tuition all the children in that neighborhood? It will certainly enhance the value of land and houses in any district to have educated and enter? prising citizens as neighbors and as ocoupan tayof the land and houses. E. Denver Items. The health of this community Is very good at this writing. We bad a very disagreeable snow here last Saturday night?it fell until it was about five inches deep. Rabbit hunting has been in order since the snow fell, and there have been several of them killed in this community.

Mr. Bennie Daniels has been spend? ing a few days with relatives near this place. Mr. S. L. Eskew had the misfortune of loseing eight pigs last Saturday night. The Denver church was organized and officers elected last Saturday. We have about thirty members to commence with, and we think there aro several others to join. It has been talked by some of the brethren of Lebanon church that the church at this place was being built through spite, but I think they are slightly mistaken. It is being built for the good of our country and for the good of the children who are too far from any Baptist church to attend Sunday Sohool regularly. So the public can see that our reason for building it is good. When the church is finished everybody is in? vited to come and worship with us.

Miss Janie is an accomplished young lady, and made a number of friends dur? ing her stay. One of our young friends rides his wheel across the creek very frequently. We think if she would say "yes," it would savo his wheel considerable wear. The farmers of this section are hauling large quan tities of guano. We presume they mean to grow a large crop of 6} and 7 cent cotton. Teddy Cbokeb. Caro Items.
