A neatly dressed young white man, ap? parently about 21 years of age, who gave bis name as Lewis Miller, came into the city Tuesday morning with a very nice horse and buggy. Shortly after his arri? val he went to J. S. Fowler's stables and offered to sell tbe horse and buggy at sixty dollars. Mr. Fowler accepted tbe offer, and, before paying tbe young man, questioned him closely. His answers to the questions and the price which he had sold the turnout for, aroused tbe suspi? cions of Ur. Fowl er, who at once notified Chief Rose. Before tbe officer arrived the young man made an attempt to get away, but he was detained and turned over to the Chief, who locked him up. In the meantime, however, he gave the officer his name and confessed that he had stolen the horse and buggy from a Mr. McElroy, who, he claimed lived at Danklin, Green? ville County. Chief Rose will hold him as a prisoner until Mr. McElroy can be communicated with. . The Atlanta, Journal of the 20th inst. says: "Dr. George Brown and Dr. W. E. Campbell, the specialists, have decided upon establishing a free dispensary down on Marietta street, near tbe cotton factory. There are hundreds of poor people in the city both white and black who Buffer with some eye, ear, throat or nose trouble, and yet are uoable to pay for the medical at? tention they need. It is to reach and ben? efit this class of people that Dr. Brown and Dr. Campbell will open the dispensa? ry. It will be open one hour each after? noon, and one or the other of these doc? tors will be there daring that hour to treat all.who apply to them. This is purely a work of charity, but one that is much needed in Atlanta. There are hun? dreds of each places in New York and other large cities where this sort of work is done, and it proves a Godsend to the suffering poor. It will be highly appreci? ated in Atlanta, and these progressive young medicine men, who are well up in their profession, having received the best advantages, will have the support of all good citizens in the charitable work they are about; to begin." The above paragraph will be read with pleasure by the many friends of Drs. Brown and Campbell in this County. It is a worthy atep on their part, and no donbt will increase their pop? ularity and patronage in Atlanta. , The Hartwell Sun, of last Friday, says: "Mr. John G. Richardson had quite a lively experience on bis way to Ander? son Saturday. He drove his pony to a go cart. When. he reached - the Savannah River he drove into the flat at Craft's Ferry, and did not alight?that is not just then, but just before the flat reached the Carolina bank he did alight headforemoat in the water. The pony got frightened and jumped into the river and the cart shot John over the hone's head. Times were serious for awhile and John and the horse both ran narrow risk of drowning. The harness had to be cut from the pony before it could be rescued, and the cart was left to float down the river to the island where it was subsequently recov? ered. John, however, did not give over his trip,, but went on to Anderson and says his clothing was good and dry by the time he got there. Moral?get out of your vehlole and hold your hone when you enter a ferryboat." Holland's Store. We are glad to note the convalesence of Mrs. ?. J. Earle, who has been quite sick with fever.

The cause of Christ cannot but be uplifted under such influences. We predict that the seed sowed at this meeting will culminate In eternal good to the surronnding country. We had the pleasnre of attending the meeting one or two days, and during the time spent B few pleasant hours with Messrs. A. M. Cheek. Wm. Galloway, Samuel Harris and others, partaking of their hospitality. These gentlemen are among the best far? mers of the Corner, as a glance at their splendid crops will show. While in that vicinity we visited the place of our birth, and though only 8 years old when wo last walked over, (as it almost seemed to us) consecrated gronnd, sad memories rushed into our mind. We hope to be able to take a more extended trip some time in the near future among these olever people.

Miss Carrie Pearman has been called to the Tuokerville chair, and she opened the 23rd inst. We have not heard from Liberty yet. It seems to us there ought to be a school there. That is a good location, and they have a good house, but they are slow to make up a school. This should not be. We expect that there la too much "beard? ing the tiger In bis den," as they say they are too poor to patronize a school. They are not too poor to spend money for fire water, and we hope they will get a teach? er (If they have not done so) and start the children immediately. The protracted meeting at Beul ah has been postponed until the third Sunday in August, at which time it will begin. The reason for Its postponement was the brethren were not through work, and the parson could give us more time. We are sorry that it is not going on now, as we are contemplating a tour through Georgia, and we can't ogle the pretty girls that will attend. We feel it a duty to explain the situation as some of the Trinity boys are anxious for it to commence. Well, boys, you will have to wait a while, but you can get yonr hymn books and prac* t. ce until the big event arrives. We need better singing and more of it, so please'be ready to help us. We wended our way to Hopewell last Sunday and saw more pretty girls than you could ahake a stick at. By the way, we came near getting struck, but remem? bering a pretty little maiden, whose step is lighter than the fawns, and whose eyes are softer than the gazelles, and whose voice is sweeter than the mocking bird, when he carols his love song to his happy mate, and whose treBsea would surpass the gloss of the raven's wing, and whose form an angel would be proud of, and when we rembered all this, we wept. Nor but we came near "getting in that fix," as the boys Baid. We will suggest that the correspondent's meeting be held on the 3lal, as we will be absent after that date. What say you, boyB ? Does this meet your approval T If it does, then express yourselves in the next issue of the Intelligencer . We would like to give ail the happen? ings, but as we haven't - time we will promise to drop In next week and wind up the ball. Sam Dswbebrt. Dots from Long- Brauch. Rev. N. G. Wright filled his regular ap? pointment at the Long Branch Academy on last Sunday a. m. At this writing it continues to rain, and the grass continues to grow. If this kind of weather continues much longer I am afraid that we won't get through "laying by" before fodder will be ready for pull? ing, and if this be the case I won't get to go to the mountains. My wife has con Ben ted for me to go at last. I don't know that I ever caw a better ' prospect for a corn crop than we have at present.

The editor of the Honea Path Chronicle, Mr. L. Y Moore, was one more in our midst on lost Sunday. All who wish to subscribe for a good newspaper, free of charge, should write to Mr. Moore. What I mean by saying free of charge is, there is no money required in advance. Less is a clever, harm'ess young man. I think he has certainly struck his talent at last. If nothing happens to prevent quite a number of us will attend the Union Meet? ing, which meets with Dorchester Church next Saturday and Sunday. Why don't you candidates, who want onr votes, announce yourselves In the Intelligencer? I can't vote for a man who doesent announce himself in this pa? per. I have what I think to be a sufficient reason for saying this, and mean every word of it. No doubt some one would like to know my reason for saying this. If so, just ask me, and I can give you an explanation, X. Belton Happeninge. Still it rains! The Belton Democratic Clnb met last Saturday afternoon, and re-organized.
