? 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,

proper shape. 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

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

with one-eighth grain of iodoform."

gives tbe following particulars: "W. C.
Patterson fell over tbe banisters on tbe
second story of Dr J. 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."

"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.

Belton Items.
Tbe Hon. A. C. Latimer and his inter*
esting family have returned from Wash?
ington, and tbe genial faces of his children
are again seen at the Belton High School.
Last Friday night, about three miles
from Belton, Mr. J. J. Kelly's gin, grist
mill, about GOO bushels of cotton seed, corn,
meal, guano and otbsr things, were turn?
ed into EBbes. The loss was not less than
$1,000. Mr. Kelly says that he looked
after the fire carefully after his day's work,
putting out all the fire, he thought. He
thinks there must have been a coal upon
tbe roof, and that it was fanned into a
blaze by tbe wind, which we all remem?
ber. This is a heavy Iobb on Mr. Kelly,
