We join the many friends of the yonng couple la ex? tending congratulations, and wish them all tbe happiness snd prosperity attainable in this life. proper shape. There is a business as well as sentimental side to all this, and with that we are now directly interested. We have all talked hard times and five cents cotton until it has actually become a disease, like the whiskey disease or the tobacco disease, and if some sharp fellow will start an institute on the Keely plan to cure croaking, he can make a fortune in Anderson County* A man's house needs painting, inside and out, bnt he has croak? ed and whined and groaned over hard times and five cents cotton, (when proba? bly he never hoed a hill of it in his life,) until his faithful wife sees him depart every morning, and with tears in her eyes, says, 'Til not worry him about it n jw, he's so bothered about business; maybe when times get easier we can have the house painted and fixed up " And that, worried man gets a good cigar at the first Store he comes to, and doesn't deny him? self any of the pleasures he's been accus? tomed to. Now, let's stop that. If your house needs painting have it done. It won't cost near so much as you ttink it will. At least, stop in at some Paint Store and investigate the matter. Any of them can tell you how muoh it will cost, if yon know the size of your house. Of course, we should like to sell you the Paint.

Dr. Game ba* accspttd the position of pre? scription clerk at-Orr & Sloan's. The Honea Path Chronicle says: "An? derson can't blame Honea Path for want ins; a new County, for the people are ashamed of the old Court House and Jail at Anderson. We were shown through the Jail while in Anderson last week, and really we became disgusted to think such a County as Anderson should allow an old hog pen like it to be even called a Jail, much leas to bs used as one. If they don't get a new Court House and Jail, we will have to get a new County, if we have to secede to get it."

For sixty-three years they have shared each other's sorrows and each oth? er's joys. Eleven children were born to them snd all of them lived to be grown, nine of whom?five sons and four daugh? ters?survive the mother.

In every relation of life this devoted mother discharged her duties faithfully, and she had no fear of death, for she had long ago prepared to meet the Saviour whom she loved to serve. She was very fond of sacred music and ber favorite song was: "Waiting for Me." Not long before she died, la speaking with some of her loved ones abont leaving them, she said, "I wonder if any one will be watching and waiting for me?"
