This marriage was an agreeable sur prise to many of the friends of the young j couple, who have received many warm congratulations. The case against Mr. F. M. Butler, who was charged with selling whiskey, was tried before Justice T?te, in this city, last | Thursday, and resulted in a mistrial. Both the Justice and Jury were from Ya? rennes Township.

From information received we conclude that, while in some neighborhoods of this Connty, there will be some more area in cotton than there was last year, yet taken altogether over the County, there will be but little, if any increase in the cotton acreage. This means, if general through, out the cotton region, better price next fall and easier times for the farmers, and consequently for all the rest of us. There will be a pic nie at Robinson's new bridge, near Honea P&tb, on Satur? day. 21st inst. The public generally and the ladies especially are invited to attend and bring well-filled dinner baskets.

The Anderson boys are hard to turn down.

Hicks calls the month of April the tran? sition from winter to summer conditions and at once starts ns in with a liberal supply of tendency for hail. The terrific storms that brings March to a close he says will give away tbe first of the month to a rising temperature continuing to tbe 8tb, followed by cold snow and frost. This will be followed by weather again with accompanying thunder and light? ning. Tbe 12th and 13th will be dates of severe storms which tbe prophet says will bear watching. There will he fair weather until the 17th, when another storm period lasting fonr days will set in, with warm and cold weather alternating. Tbe 24th and 25th will also produce severe thunder and lightning. Tbe month will go out with a storm.

Tbe Richmond & Danville and tbe Georgia Pacific are making preparations to handle the VeterariB from ail along the lino in Virginia, tbe Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, and the low rate of one fare offered makes it within reaoh of all to enjoy the great pleanres on that occasion.

Blfrkland, the popular and energetic editor of tbe Southern Christian Advocate, in speaking of a recent trip to Anderson, says: "We made a flying busi? ness visit to Anderson last week. On tbe way we bad the pleasure of greeting J. B. Campbell, Presiding Elder of Cokesbnry District, Rev. E. W. Mason, of Donalds, Rev. M. H. Pooser, of Princeton, and other friends. At Anderson we attended one of tbe Pearson meetipgs and met Rev. Geo. P< Watson, of Anderson station, and Rev. N. G. Ballenger of the Circuit. These brethren were all in good health and spirits, and those with whom we bad time to exchange a few words report el well of their work. Rev. John O. Wiho a, Presiding Elder, was our host during our short stay. He is in labors abundant $ad fnll of zeal for the Mister's cause." The Easley Democrat of last week Bays: "Mr. William W. Phillip?, better known as Wig Phillips, died at bis residence, four miles below Easley, on the 28th of March, after a protracted and painful illness caus? ed from a cancer on the face and neck. He had been twice married, first to a Miss Smith, by whom be had two children, by hia last wife who still survives him he had no children. Mr. Phillips was a good, substantial citizen, and will be missed by tbe community. His remains were in? terred on the day following his death at Falrview Methodist Church of which he was a consistent member."

We hope he will soon be restored to good health. Our citizens were startled last Friday afternoon by hearing groans, hisses and curses issuing from a party of colored den nizens who bad assembled in Hampton Street, The belligerents were Betsy and Ida Allgood, and Mandy Webb. And the way tbey tore up the earth would put Corbett to blushing. Tbey used rocks, knives and razors. Mandy threw a rock, which struck Ida on the bead and knocked her unconscious. Then Betsy went Into the ring with the determination to do np Mandy. Ida soon recovered and she and Betsy proceeded to carve Mandy into mince meat. Mandy saw what her fate would be if she tarried any longer, so she decided running was the better part of valor. She sought protection at a neigh? bor's which bappenod to be near the bat? tle ground. Our town came near being a second Darlington. We havn't learned the cause of the trouble. All parties came out with a few slight cuts and bruises. The famous evangelist, Mr. Cowan, is conducting a tent meeting near us. He will stay about two weeks. We had a pleasant call last Thursday afternoon from Missc-3 Ada and Ida Rogers. Come oftener, girls; your sunny smiles aiid rippling laughter always cheers up our drooping and languid spirit. We take up our work of life and proceed to weave the web of our future destiny with renewed energy and zeal, and as we take up the threads we try to mingle the beau? ties of your smites in sweet and harmoni? ous colors. Ah! we may try to imitate but never can excel. Our young friend, Lige Griffin, is visit? ing in our community. Hope he will have a pleasant stay. Madam Rumor has it that there will be a wedding in our midst before the sun disappears for the night. Last Sunday morning being favorable, we wended our way to Beaverdam to hear Mf. Allen expound the Soriptures. We went by Welcome Academy to Inspect the new road the boys are opening out, and we must congratulate them on the good work they are doing, They evidently have been there before by the way tbey are filling up the holes and digging dowq the knolls. When a fellow is out with his best girl he doesn't want to use both hands and eyes to keep bis old horse out of gullies, and sometimes then he will tumble into them, kick once und expire. Ovorseer Ellis has put his section in fine condition. Boys, if you want to ecjoy a ride with the fair maidens just drive them over this road once and yon'll use no other. Mr. Ellis is the right man In the right place. We sincerely hope the County Commis? sioners will enforce the Murray Law, but it is not done. The law Bays the road, bed shall be twenty feet wide and arched up, with ditches on each side to drain the I water off. But they don't enforce it. We I wish they would inspect the roads around ' bore. Some of tbem is just as wide as the wagon track, and the farmers plough up to it. They are afraid if they make the boys work the roads they will lose some of their votes. Sam Dewbebby. Honea Path Items. Small grain seemed to liave survived (be cold and frost after the predictions of many that it would not Some farmers report a very good stand of oorn, considering tbe cold weather. Miss Alma Brook, of Due West, was in town shopping Saturday. Miss Annie Shirley is in Anderson this week. J. B. Callaham and wife spent Sunday with the "old man"?W. P. McGeeat Walnut Grove. R B. A. Robinson, Esq., of Annie, was in town yesterday. He seldom ever comes to town, notwithstanding the fact that all his friends are glad to see and talk with him. Tbe latest addition to the top spinning crowd is Kossrs. Aldeu Kay, Bob Mon? roe, Bob Wing, Billie Branyon and Tom Latimer. The little follows are still ahead, tbe older ones can't get the "hang" of it. Mrs. J. P. Payne recovers very slowly. Mr. Sanfbrd Qantt lies very ill at his home two miles above here. The farmers are rejoicing over the nice raiu this morning. Miss Ella Kay, instead of going to Georgia to spend her vacation, stopped in Anderson. Section Master Tinkler has prat in some timely work on the side-track sonth of the depot Rev. J. M. Lander and wife, the mlSr sionaries, of Brazilian fame, are spending a day or so here with Mrs. Walters. Mr. Lander lectured in the Baptist Church last night, and the congregation was carried away with his discourse on Brazil. On Sunday morning at 4 o'clock Mrs, L. K. Shirley sustained her second loss by Are for this year. This time she awoke to and her large barn in names, with all her live stock locked up inside. She hurriedly called her son, who suc? ceeded in getting the mules out Five cows perished in the flames with all provender and corn, cotton seed and farming implements. Loss $800; insur? ance $500: This must have been undoubt? edly .the work of incendary. *. Lebanon Items Tbe health of our community is very good at present, save a a few cases of colds and rheumatism. Tbe early grain aronnd here is consider? ably damaged by tbe recent cold weather, but the later sowings look fresh and green. Fruit is nearly all killed, but I believe we still have a few apples left You know the old saying is, ''All tbe fruit is never killed in March." Tbe farmers are at work in earnest planting corn and putting in fertilizers for cotton. I heard an amusing account of a little boy from- the city who was vis? iting relatives in the country, Tbe boy's uncle was putting in guano, and tbe boy asked what he put under the guano to make it come up. Of course, the uncle explained the prooeas. A few of our farmers are planting cotton seed, but tbe most of them are waiting to hear from Plunkett, whether Brown has a smile on bis face or not, for then Spring will be here in earnest Tbe prayer meeting at Lebanon is still very well attended, and Prof. Holland makes it very interesting by his explana? tion of the Scriptnres and good advice given. We will miss him g.eatly when he leaves tos. The sermons preached by Rev. W. B. Hawkins both Saturday and Sunday were very instrnctive and fall of comfort and cheer. He is doing a good work among the people of Lebanon, and God will surely reward bim for bis diligence, There were six more accessions to our Gburcb on Saturday. Miss Floronoe Smith, of Marlon, is still with us and assists In making music. And, by the way, we have some fine mu? sic, too. To eatisfy yourself of the fact, Mr. Editor, give us a visit some second Sunday, which is our regular meeting day, though we have a fine Sunday Sobool every Sabbath. Hopeful. Iva News. We have very little news. Everybody is busy. The crop preparations are pro? gressing well. Tue recent cold spell has killed much mora than was at first thought. It is said, that large trees have been killed by the freeze. They are not putting out yet, and one cannot tell whether tbey are killed or not.

Our little city is calm and serene. The farmers seem to be In good spirits, notwithstanding their small grain orops being damaged by the recent cold weather. Our sobool has olosed, the session being out. I think the patrons were highly pleased with the teaober. She worked faithfully in the school room. We can recommend Miss Mamie Warren to any community needing a teacher. Her stay with us was very pleasant. Indeed. Mr. John Eskew, of Caruesville, Ga., was visiting relatives at this place last week. Mr. Willie S. Hutchinson, of Furman University, was visiting his father's family last week. On the night of his ar? rival the Iola band serenaded bim. The music was highly enjoyed by all. We attended the Sunday School ser? vices at Welcome Church yesterday. Judging from the congregation and the interest the people are taking in the Sun? day Sobool, I think that great good can be accomplished there. ; Puella. [Denver items/ Well, Mr. Editor, since I last wrote tbe coldest weatber we have bad in a good long while has visited ns and left its sign hero.
