Local editors are blamed for a great many things they can't help, such as using par? tiality in mentioning visitors; giving news about some folks and leaving others, and so on He prints all such items that he can find. Some people inform him of ancb things and others do not An editor should not be expected to know the names and residences, and it is frequently the case that he is unable to ascertain them. If you will make it a point to tell us these things we will gladly mention them. In a private note from our venerable friend, Mr. Thomas Burriss, of Geeville, Pren tiss County, Miss , he Bays: " In re? newing my subscription I take great pleas? ure in expressing my satisfaction with tbe paper published in tbe land of my youth and early manhood. I am no w in my 87th year, in good health and am interested in the people with whom I spent so much of my life. I would like to hear especially from all who yet live that remember me. Will they not each write me a postal card, if no more. To hear from friends of earlier days still affords me much pleasure." Mr. Burriss was bora and reared in our midst, and is one of the oldest subscribers to the Intelligencer. He moved to Mississippi more than forty years ago. Mr. Burriss is a brother of Milford Burriss, deceased, and has a large circle of relatives and old friends in this County, and we know all of them will be delighted to hear of his continued good health. Our clever, jolly friend, Col. B. B. A. Robinson, of Martin Township, who is one of Anderson County's best citizens, keeps a diary of tbe events and happenings that comes nnder his eyes, and is a close observer of tbe weather. In speaking of the cold weather tbe other day, be said: "I think tbe 13th of January a lucky day for cold and wet weather in Anderson County. From 1882 to 1895 we have had only two fair days on the 13th of January, and they were in the years 1889 and 1890. Everybody, of course, remembers the noted 13th, when we had snow on the ground four days snd the thermometer remained at zero for tbe same length of time. The coldest weather we had on the 13th was in the years 1884 and 18E6, and on tbe 13th inst. But I think January 13,1884, takos the cake. It was turn, burn or freeze all day, and you had to be easy about it, too. I came from Due West that day, and Hog Skin Creek, on this side of M. B. Clink scales', was entirely frozen over." From a Missionary. Mies Mary D. Sullivan, who recently left Anderson as a missionary to Chins, has reached Japan safely. A few days ago her ur.c'e, Capt. Qeo. M. McDavid, re? ceived a lrtter fiom her dated December 25th, ?hieb was written on tbe steamship tbe day before touching Japan. We have asked tbe privilege ol publishing tbe fol? lowing paragraphs from the letter, which we know will be read with interest by Miss Sullivan's.many friends: " The long letter I bad intended writing you while on board, telling you of tbe delightful journey we had across tbe con? tinent to Vancouver, was only a plan, it a.ems. We left Vancouver on the 10th, and out of tbe 15 days on the water have had not more than three days of anything like calm weather, so that writing has been almost an impossibility. In fact, for many days, it took all of one's energy just to " hold on," for this is the roughest voy? age the good ship has ever bad. We have had the experience of a real storm at eea. One night we were tossed and rolled around at such a rate tbat we were in dan? ger ever moment of having to join in with tbe trunk?, books, tooth brushes, snl other stray articles in their dance about the cabin. But today is a perfect day. We are Hear? ing Japan, (will arrive tomorrow morning in Yokaboma), and so the sea is as smooth as a lake. I am not eorry tbat we did not get to Japan for Christmas, as wo had ex? pected, for today has been a happy one with us missionaries. There are five aboard. "I am glad to say tbat I was not effected seriously with sea sickness. I have been able to be out of my cabin since the fin.t two days, after I got my sea legs. "There are tbres hundred Chinese aboard ?steerage paeeengeis?and about a hun? dred employed as cabin boys and servants. It gives us some i^ea of the people with whom we have to deal. "All day we have been in aight of land. It is good to see the houses and trees, after nothing but water. The islands in the distance look like snow-covered moun? tains rising out the water. "Your Christmas has just about began now?may it be a happy one. I write only this short note now, to have you know tbat Fm safe as far as Japan. At Shanghai I hope to be able to write you more fully. Please let aunt Nannie atid aunt Lou know, and give them all my love. Tell tbe children to write to me, and I shall take pleasure in writing to them when I get settled in my work. I look forward to it with pleasure; am glad to go to China. They need tbe gospel, and I am anxious to burry on and learn tbe language; to be able to get up one more little light in the great darkness there " Grand and Petit Jurors.

The entertainment was' a most enjoyable one, as was proved by the good attention and the hearty applause given Mr. Perry. Mr. Perry gave a brief sketch of the composer and the causes ioducing tbe production before the playing of each selection, and by this the program ma was made more attractive. Several young ladies from BAton came up Saturday evening to witness the recital. MIsb Fannie Horton, of Piedmont, was here Saturday and Sunday, the guest of relatives.

As we have passed from the old into the new, I will, after some delay, try and give some of tbe details of this little place dur? ing Christmas. Everything is moving on smoothly and agreeably. We say agree? able, because we are going by signs. Judging from the many pleasant smiling visages we see in traveling around, it seems that everybody buried the sad thoughts as the old year vanished, they turned a new leaf, and blotted out all thoughts imprinted upon the old. If any are melancholy and in trouble, tbey cer? tainly are like a fat chicken, " don't show it in the face." I bear a great many say they have resolved to live bard, avoid going in debt, and make both ends meet another year. That's right. If we will only strive to carry out our intentions, leave off so much frivolons habits, and all join hands in harmony, we will " git tbar." Bnt don't understand me to say quit rais? ing cotton, quit going to church, let BCbools die out, let society go to the dogs, and keep tbe ohildren borne, working them like servants and all this kind of stuff. We should attend tbe social circles of life as well as other every day affairs. Let all take more Interest lu tbe schooling of their children, for what better fortune can any parent give his children than a first claes education. We are in favor of Squire Fewell's idea. Let us take tbe best paper?the Intelli? genter, and keep up with tbe happenings of our country, and leave elf so much of these infernal isms, cisms and gisrus. We killed a lot of rabbits during the recent snows, and, of course, feel "purty bigity." We oontemplate attending several wed? dings in the near future. What good is tbe Dispensary doing up ben? Why none that I can see, for I never saw as much drinking in some sections in my life. But I guess that is all right. Our merchants are opening up a fresh and new supply of goods. Surely they are looking forward to better times. Oats through this section are reported as all killed during tbe cold days. Wheat is looking moderately well thus far. Rabbits are fat and plentiful, and par? tridges enough to shoot at. Your scribe had tbe pleasure of spending a week In Newry recently. Newry is a thriving little place, having fine facilities, refined people and plenty of fun. The Messrs. CuurtenayB are kind and generous, striving to make all feel at home in tbeir company. 1 Notwithstanding the misfor? tunes, etc, caused by tbe breaking of race, etc., the mill hands are well pud, and all like tbe roles. The race bu rated about the 22nd ult. in tbe bend, near the mill, and with a full supply of bands and push? ing bosses, she began to bnzz tbe 11 inst. I think the last work done on the race will stand all pressure of water the river can afford. The foundation is on rook, 16 feet wide, and built in such a manner as to stand the raging storms. D firing my visit I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Evie Cleveland, of Piedmont, and Mr. and Mrs. J A. Willingham, formerly of Anderson. They spared no means in making my stay among them pleasant. Mr. Willingham runs the electric moter, and is making a grand success; his wife is "I'll be all smiles," and strives to make all in her presence feel at home. She was raised in Seneca, and is a daughter of Mr. Thomas Moore Anderson. Misses Ola and Dora Cleveland, of Newry, spent a fortnight with relatives and friends at this place recently. MiBsVira Abies, of Cooper, Ga., was among relatives and friends here last week. Our energetic young friend, Mr. W. E. Herripg, was in Georgia on a courting tour last week. Success to yon, old boy.

Anderson, S. C, .Tan. 2,1895. Dear Ladies of the Benevolent Society: On reading the Leaflet of Dr. Chester and his committee in Nashville and other late communications from the same quarter, I have been deeply impressed with the tone of their feelings. Their anxiety for the honor of our beloved Church in pushing forward the mission? ary work is very great. Though I have no authority to onjoin any duty upon you, yet you will permit me, as'an old friend, to urge the following upon your attention. The thermometer has dropped down ?13,000 during the last year below the standard interest of our church in the work of evangelizing the world. And this fall is not due to the pecuniary pres? sure of tbe time. That complaint, now, so quickly framed into an excuse, is due to the fact that our expectations of the steady advance in our comforts and plans of prosperity, which we have for years past enjoyed, have simply been checked, and we are complaining rather for comforts which wo had anticipated than for those which we had lost. The child with his hands full of candy and toys is crying because he cannot go to town. On the other band everything that we need to buy is phenomenally low, and it is safe to say that, as a peo? ple, we aro as comfortable and us well supplied as we ever have been. It is Bafo to say, that we have spent as much for our enjoyments during tbe past month including Christmas as would Bend two men of God to distant countries to carry the news of the great salvation. This painfully significant decliue of our church to meet her obligations and to rescue her honor from disgracoful retreat, tells that an insidious apostacy from God is creeping into our churches. And every one of us, my dear Bisters, mint share the reproach. There are two suggestions I wished to make, seconding those of Dr. Chester and the Nashville Committee. 1. The one is to emphasize that word INFORMATION. It is jmt impos? sible for you to carry forward the missionary work by impulses and heats, fits and starts. You must know some? thing of the great foreign work, its needs, its successes, its missionaries and their triumphs. You must read. I should be extremely sorry to think that you de? clined information for fear of its respon? sibilities. Tbe very advice which I have formerly given you, is urged by Dr. Chester. The Missionary Journal of our church must be before you, and if not taken by every one must be read by select articles at each of your meetings by some good reader. There is even literary improvement in it. The appointed reader will always prepare to read well. This Is the object of your meetings, mutual information and stimulation in work. And, dear sisters, let it be a rule that no towns news, no parlor calls, no strangers, no street incidents, no kitchen informa? tion shall be detailed during the hour given to the Lord's work. Let the hour bo consecrated by a solemn prayer to the work of the Master. The President's gavel must rap all foreign chat out of the room. And let me commend, besides our own missionary a periodical wnich I once be? fore commended to your attention. It is tbe World's Missionary Review, by Dr. A. T. Pierson, 18 and 20 Astor Place, New York, price $2.00 per annum. I can in most unqualified terms recommend it to you as a grand Review, monthly, of the missionary movements of all denomina? tions, as presenting all kinds of informa? tion, statistical, historical, geographical, with discussions and essays and excerpts, that will enrich your minds even if you never give a cent for missions. Dear Bisters, take these two Journals. You must read?Bead, Read?or you will never run this business of the Lord suc? cessfully. 2. The second suggestion I wanted to make is that you unhesitatingly send what moneys you have consecrated to foreign missions at once to Dr. Chester. I understand you have about $200 for that purpose. The Committee will duly ac? credit so much to you on the year '95 to '96. Their pressure at this moment is very great. Let not your money be idle now. He very earnestly but very res? pectfully requests it. God will enable bis willing workers to make more during the coming year. He will bless your labors. I understand tbat you have, besides, 8600, which you had originally intended to put stone steps to tbe church. It has been practically Idle for years while the cause of our Lord is calling for help. Why stands it there all tbe day idle ? Could you do a nobler thing with it than to give it to the Lord ? Will beautiful steps, flattering our pride, ever pay as well ? Will tbe men ever do any better if you take church building out of their hands? Is not your sanctuary as neat and commodious as is consistent with the crying wants of mankind and the meekness of our Lord himself. Let the men build churches and .manses, but you, my dear sisters, keep tho inside track of them in benevolent work and l^ad them as you are qualified to do it, iu self-denying, holy work. Pray over it, my friends, and take the advice of an old friend, who loves and thanks you for many past kindnesses and devote all your ?800 to the Lord for his mission work. May God's blessing rest upon you. Yours very truly, D. K Fbxebson. ? On Saturday last the Riehland County Alliance held its regular meeting in this city. It was tbe most largely at? tended meeting of the year. The all-im? portant question of reducing the cotton acreage was fully and freely discussed, and while no definite action was taken, an understanding was reached to adopt the suggestions of President Cbappell, which were to make the farms self-sus? taining by raising hogs, cattle, etc., plant? ing grain, etc., for all of the needs of tbe farmers, and then plant whatever surplus tbey may have in cotton. Tbe object is to let cotton be simply a supplementary crop. They also intend to plant tobacco in that section of the county where the soil is sandy. The Alliance, so a State leader says, is staying out of the cotton grower's movement, as it is an organi? zation of farmers itself and cannot afford to take part in any new movement.?The State, Jan. 15. ? The Agricultural Department places tbe wheat yield of tbe United States last year at 460,267,416 bushels, the States leading in production ranking as follows: Ohio, 48,444.471 bushels; Indiana, 43,644, 064; Minnesota, 37,752,453; Kansas, 35, 315,259; North Dakota, 33 635.590; Illi? nois, 33,312,370; California, 30,376,705. ?
