Place this above the top of a glass pitcher, or even a tumbler, pressing the flannel down half? way or more into the vessel. Tben bind the flannel fast to tho top of the glass with a string or a piece-of tape. Now put the ice into the flannel cup and lay another piece of flannel, five or six inohes square, upon the' ice. Arranged thus, ice will keep many hours. We dfrect the attention of onr readers to the advertisement of the South Carolina College, which appears in another column.

The child was afflicted, and on Friday night the mother went to Church and left it in bed asleep.

The verdict of the jury was that it came to its death from natural causes. The Seaboard Air Line, by its advertis? ing agent, Mr. Sam. W. Bowman, has commenced the Issue of a monthly publi? cation entitled the "The Vestibnle," con? taining a complete novel every month. Thia is indeed a new departure In railroad advertising, and one that shonld be appre? ciated by every traveller.; The country has been surfeited with advertising matter by transportation companies containing descriptions of various places and resorts along tbeir respective lines, hence this new book, "The Vestib?le," with a com? plete story in every issue by well-known authors, and distributed gratuitously by the Passenger Agents of toe system, will no doubt meet with popular favor. An exchange says by a very simple rule the duration of night and day can be de? termined at any time of the year. All yon have to do is to multiply the time of the sun's rising by two and it will give yon the length of the night. Multiply, the time of Betting by two and you get the length of the day. It is easily demon? strated at the time of the year when the sun rises and sets at 6 o'clock and day and night are of equal duration. It is just as true as the days lengthen and shorten. Thus, as winter approaches, take a day when tbe sun rises at 6.30 and sets at 5 40. Apply tbe role and yon have a night of 13 hours and a day of 11 hours. The rule will be found absolutely accurate at any season of the year. _ Miss Mattie Belle Clark, oldest daugh? ter of Mr. Elias Clark, of this city, met with a painful accident near Hopewell Churoh, last Saturday morning.

Fant, yesterday morning. She was in the 90th Jear of her age, and for several months ad been quite feeble, her death being ex? pected at any time. Mrs. Carlisle was a daughter of David Sadler, deceased, and was born December 25,1804, in old York District. When Bhe was but eight years of age her parents moved to what was then known as old Pendleton District and settled near Roberts Church, in this County. At tbe age of fifteen years she joined this Church, and ever afterwards lived an exemplary Christian life. On April 12, 1831, she married Rev. Wm. Carlisle, whom she survived thirteen years. This most excellent Christian wo? man was well known by the older people of this County, and her many old friends will regret to bear of her death. She pos? sessed a most loving, gentle disposition, and made a friend of every acquaintance. She was a valuable help mate to her worthy husband in his work in the Lord's cause, and now she has gone to join him in that beautiful eternal home, where she will- receive her rewards that have long , been awaiting her. She leaves three daughters and a wide circle of friends and relatives to cherish her memory. The re? mains were carried to Roberts Churoh to-day and will be interred there at 4 o'clock thia afternoon, Rev. Dr. Frierson conducting the funeral services. The new schedule now in effecXon the P. R. & W. C. R. R. and the Seaboard Air Line is very convenient for the traveling publio to and from this section.

Athen? 5 08 p. m., and Atlanta (on the Yestibule) 4.09 p. m. Tbe return schedule is the quickest and best ever arranged between Atlanta, Athens, Elbarton and Anderson. Leav? ing Atlanta fit 1 p. m., Athens 3.03 pi m., Elberton 4 Oil p. m,, parties will arrive in Anderson 7.05 p. m. on Sundays and 8.35 on week days. The schedules over the same lines lor points in North Carolina and Virginia and Eastern cities is equally attractive in point of convenience and quick time. Leaving Anderson at 11 a, m. on week days, and 12.45 p. m. on San days, connection is nude at Calboan Falls with the Vestibale train of the 8. A. L, reaching Charlotte 9.45 p. m , Raleigh 1.26 a. m., Norfolk 9.10 a. m., Richmond G.40 I a. na , Washington 10.45 a. m., Baltimore 12 noon, Philadelphia 2 20 p. m., New York 4 63 p. m. The train from Calhoun Falls is a solid vestibale train on which there is no extra charge for riding. Par? ties can either take ?leeper or they can save this expense by riding on an elegant vestibale passenger cars. The equipment and services of this line are unsurpassed and tbe traveling public can get the benefit of fast vestibule service without the exor? bitant charges assessed by other lines for for sleepers and dining cars. On Ir.et Saturday afternoon, accompa? nied by a party of young' ladies, we paid a visit to the County Poor House. We were kindly received by Mrs. King, wife of P. F. King, Steward, who, as our read? ers know, has had charge of the institution for several yearn, and has managed its af? fairs very successfully. Notwithstanding a very general opinion to the contrary, owing doubtless to tbe fact that tbe sick, the blind and the helpless can be found here, tbe Poor House is a very pleasant place to visit. We found the place scrupu? lously clean, and tbe inmates seemed hap? py and contented. At present there are about forty people on tbe roll, a smaller number than for some years past. Mr. King is a model farmer, and if yon wisb to see a nice farm it can be seen at tbe Poor House. Tbe land is billy and liable to wash, but Mr. King has terraced tbe whole place, and with rotation of crops tbe land is getting better year by year. The growing orop is very fine, notwithstand? ing tbe cold weather in tbe Spring and the want of rain, the first good season falling ! a few hours after our visit. Tbe cost of each inmate to the County, per month, is about four dollars, which speaks well for the management of Mr. King. We will venture tbe assertion that two-thirds of the people of Anderson County think of the Poor House as a dreary, dismal place; but, kind reader, you were never more mistaken. The buildings Are good, paint? ed white, and the whole place has an ap ? pearance of comfort and respectability. The discipline is mild, and tempered with kindness, and if tbe inmates are not happy it is their own fault. We doubt if there is a better asylum for the poor in tbe State, and our County Commissioners de? serve oredit for tbe able manner in which it has been managed. Mrs. King com? pletely oaptivated the young ladies of our party, and they vow to visit the place again. Murray Memorial Association Last Saturday at 12.30 o'clock a number of our citizens from both city and County assembled in the Court House In accord? ance with the call issued to organiz3 a Murray Memorial Association. Capt. P. K. McL'niiy waB called to the obair and Judge W. F. Cox requested to act as Secretary. Upon taking the chair, Capt.

The deceased was always ready and willing to lend bis aid and in? fluence for the good of his city, County and State, and be believed that the people would make this organization a success. Mr. J.

Therefore, be it Resolved, That a Committee of five citi? zens of the city of Anderson be appointed, who shall have authority to appoint Bub Committees of five in eaoh TownBhip in Anderson County, whose duty it shall be to raise a public subscription from all who will contribute to this worthy object of erecting a monument to the memory of the late Hon.

Simpson and daughter, Genieveive, of Anderson, is visiting his brother, J. A. Simpson. A tenant house on Em. Davis' place was burned last Thursday. Watermelons are coming to market. W. A. Davis is away ahead this season. J. C. Lattimer has purchased a nice new Rambler bicycle. It's a "daisy." Mrs. W. A. Davis is off to Pickens visiting relatives. Little Miss Dora Milford has brought us in the nicest boquet of flowers you ever saw. She says she will be grown sometime. Miss Lizzie Brock goes to take up School at Long Branch. She is faithful and deserves good pay. Mr. G. Y. Moore's neighbors tell a good laughable tale about his chase after or from a ghost. He is a giantly-lnoking fellow but was out of breath and com? pelled?although it was awfully out of place?to ho^er: Ghost! gho3t! ! Prof. J. B. Watklns and family are home after a week's visit to Anderson. J. R. Callabam <k Co., handled a car of watermelons profitably. Law n tennis is still tbe favorite sport ! for the young folks after G o'clock, which is the closing hour for all business. The negro excursion to Atlanta to? morrow will carry an Immense crowd, providing they can borrow the money? even enough to buy a ticket. Miss Bessie Shirley has resumed her school at or near Townville that was sus? pended in June. Tbe meeting that Is beinjr conducted in tbe Baptist Church is well attended, and tbe preaching of C. E. Barls will com? pare well with those older in the profes? sion. A meeting will be called at an early day for the election of a baacher. From the number of applicants and recommen? dations of each, it will bo hard to make a satisfactory selection to all here, as each trustee seems to have his ticket made out differently. Miss Epting?not Miss Bess, the other one?of williamston, is visiting the Misses Erwin. None of our "bike" riders will attend the races at Anderson, on account of the meeting in duration here. Bro. Williams has touched up the members about occupying the back seats in church. Now he might have added by way of parenthesis' that it is not very nice for every one to want to sit on the end of the bench and make every one pass to the middle, especially a woman with two or three children. It's not only a tight squeeze to pass but attracts tbe attention of the whole congregation. Occasionally we bear some talk of tbe new County. We can not "puff" it with? out some action is taken. We feel the need of it sorely, in fact, it; is a necessity for the people, the times demand it, and if we will just pull together and baok the movement with dollars ar.d cents, not? withstanding some opposition we may be able to seen re it ere long. If the oppor? tunity is afforded lend a helping hand. News has just reached here that two of John D. Sullivan's convicls escaped this morning. *. Townville Locals. This community was shocked by tbe intelligence of the sudden death of Msj. E. B. Murray. There was no one that ap? preciated his talent, worth and ability more than your scribe. As soon as we heard of his death we thought of our la? mented Grady, how that he, too, was cut down as soon as the star of his splendor began to shine. But it appears that the gifted finish their work in the early morn? ing and pass over the river and escape the burden and heat of the dsy. The State, and especially Anderson County, has sus? tained a great loss in tbe death of our be? loved brother, MaJ. E. B. Murray. The Saluda Baptist Sunday School In? stitute met with the Townville Baptist Churoh on tbe 11th and 12th of July. The attendance was the largest that we ever saw. The meeting was very harmonious, and tbe program that was published was carried out with few exceptions. We must not forget to mention that the can. didates were nere in abundance and vowed their everlasting friendship, but to their credit they declined to kiss the babies that had sore eyes. We notice that our old friend and school? mate, G. N. C. Boleman, is announced in your paper for Auditor. Now, Mr. Edi? tor, pardon ns for this time, but we be? lieve in oleoting men to office that are fitted both heart and head to fill said office. We believe in men running for office on their own merit. Mr. G. N. C. Boleman has all of these qualifications. Anderson Connty can't better itself for an Auditor. Master Edmund Ziohary, a 12-year-old son of Mr. J. R. Zaobary, living near this place, killed a large rattlesnake the other day. It was 4J- feet long, with sixteen rat? tles. Edmund is a little hero. Miss Janie Gaines, of this place, is visit? ing relatives and friends in Honea Path this w6?lr? Mr. Riley Bruoe, of Blacksburg, S. 0-, is spending awhile with relatives in this place. ?
