This is the season when "a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love," when swallows fly homeward and the robbin seeks a colder clime; when bats and owls hunt their holes, and fire-flies ere no more; when lizzards crawl, and the succulent juice that has lain so long apparently useless in the roots of the trees begins to swell and rise in the branches, giving life and joy and health; 'tis the season when the merry "gee haw" is heard on the hill, and the little bird, sur? prised at the changed conditions from ice and snow and sleet to genial warmth and sunshine, shakes himself and begins to cast about for wisps of straw and mud and Sitch with which to adorn and beautify er home. Tis the glorious Spring-time, when Nature rises from her lethargy, shakes off the cold and gloom and despair of Winter, arrays herself in Easter gar? ments, and says to all the world, do thou likewise and be happy. At this season all animate nature that are not drones begin to feel like being up and doing something, putting off the old, putting on the new ; Slow-stocks are to be gotten in condition, oes hunted up, axes sharpened, fences jepidred, rabbits and chickens stopped out of the garden, new posts to replace those that Jbavo rotted, and everything white-7/ashed and cleaned up and put in Little Willie, age six years, saw the moon in eclipse on Sunday night.

Tinted note paper is fashionable this year, especially the grayer shades of bine, helio? trope and delicate pink.

The "oldest inhabitant" cannot remem? ber the time when fruit trees were as back? ward in putting forth buds and blossoms as they are now. And so with all vegeta? tion.

A most distressing acciden t occurred near Tugaloo, in Oconee County, on Saturday, 2nd inst., resulting in the death of the 14 year-old daughter of Mr. Lum Walters.

There is a business 03 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, but 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 now, he's so bothered about business; maybe when times gel easier we can have the house painted and fixed up." And that worried man gets a good cigar at tbe 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 much it will cost, if you know the size of your house. Of course, we should like to sell you the Paint. We honestly believe we keep as large and About four years ago Dr. Leslie E. Kee ley gave to the world a core for La Grippe, whioh has been successfully used by thous? ands. We are glad to note that the press are again printing it- The Klmball, 8. D., Graphic says: "The famous Dr. Keeley, the discoverer of the cure for inebriety, says that a four grain dose of aaafoetida four times daily will cure the grip. It is most effective when each dose is mixed with one-eighth grain of iodoform." Jlmmie, a 5-year-old son of Mr. Wm. Coper, who lives in the Toney Creek seo tlon, met with a terrible death last Satur? day. Several hands were engaged in burning off some fields and the little fellow had gone out to see the fire. In some way his clothing caught fire, and be was soon enveloped in flames. His cries attracted attention, but before any one could reaoh his side be was rendered almost unconscious. He was carried borne and everything possible was done to alleviate his Bufferings, but he was beyond human aid and death soon came to his relief. The Keoxoee Courier, of last week, says : "Dr. William D. MoWhorter is dead. This sad event occurred at Richmond, Va, on Thursday, the 21at of February, 1895, and was caused by acute pbeumonia. Dr. McWhorter was a South Carolinian and grew to manhood in Pickens District. He was a member of Orr'a Rifles and was con? nected with the medical department dur? ing the war.

M. Westmoreland's residence, in McBee avenue, Saturday afternoon and received injuries which are evidently .very serious. Mr. Patterson received a severe blow on bis head from a falling window many years ago and since then has Buffered frequently from agoniz? ing headaches. Last year he was told by his physicians that an operation was necessary as there seemed to have been a fracture of the skull and resulting pressure on the brain. The operation was perform? ed, but Mr. Patterson has since been sub? jects to attacks of vertigo and extreme weakness. He was boarding at Dr. West? moreland's and on Saturday started from hia room, on the second floor, to oall Mrs. Patterson, who was down stairs. Just as he reached the banisters, which are uous ually low, he became faint and lost con? sciousness. He fell forward over tbe bauister and to the floor below, a distance of eighteen feet. The crash of tbe fall attracted immediate attention and Mr. Patterson was found insensible with a bad gash on bis bead and many severe bruiseB on his body. He had rallied and hia con? dition was much improved yesterday but his injnries are regarded as serious and in view of his weak state and of the previous trouble with his head his hosts of friends are very uneasy for him."

Sentiment is a grand thing, but sentimentallsm is sickening. We have a few people who trade here Decause it is as, bat the vast majority of those who come here come because we have some "Murray Memorial School." Editors Ik Tellig encer: Sometime since I heard a man ask another man from the country to give something to erect a mon - nment to Mojor E B. Murray. He replied: "I will not give anything to place a mon nment of marble over him, bat if they will build a graded school I will give some thing." Now, this appears to me to be a gncd idea, and Bioce Anderson has decided to have graded schools, and has voted a tax for the same, why not ask the men who are appointed to get up tbe money for the monument to build a school building for the graded school and call it Tbe Murray Memorial School and hundred?, both men and women, would give cheerfully, who would not otherwise do so. It seems to me to be very appropriate to build a eohool in memory of Major Murray, as tbe Murray family has been closely Identified with the eduoational interests of the city since it was a small town?several of the family being teachers. I see "Citizen" has suggested two school building?; I would suggest The Murray Memorial School to be situated in tbe northern part oi the city, near where Msj Murray wa3 raised. I think his family will agree with me that It would be the most lasting monument that could be built The influence of a good school will go on elevatiogand enlightening the people for -generations. It is a beautiful idea to build public school?, libraries, and other public build? ings, for tbe elevation of humanity, as monuments of great and gor j men. Anderson has had other great men, J. N. Whitner, J. L Orr, J. P. Reed, and others whose memories should be perpetuated by some public buildings for the good of man? kind. I do not write to give adv'ce, but merely make these suggestions for the people to think about E E Death of a Young Man. Died, at the home of his mother, in Mar? tin Township, Anderson County, March 5,1895?Jtmmie Cowan, son of Mrs. W. E-, and tbe late Capt. James A. Cowan, aged 18 years. The Immediate cause of his death was heart failure. The death of our young friend, Jimmie, cast a gloom over the cheerful place of his birth and his many friends in the neighborhood. The messenger of death came without warning. One moment in life making those around him mirthful and happy, the next a corpse. We have known Jimmie from his child? hood, and it has never been our lot to know a more cheerful and pleasant dispo? sition. Even with the smallest children, it was a pleasure for him to do something to please and amuse them. At home he was the center of life to all. Tbe family circle again has been broken, another chair vacant which, to the sorely bereaved, can never be filled. In his moral, sober life he has gained tbe esteem of all who knew him. Toe com? munity extends its warmest sympathies. A Friend. Townvflie Locals. Mrs. Jane Hunt has bee j very sick, bnt we are glad to know that she is some bet? ter.
