This is the season when "a young turn's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love," when Bwallows fly homeward and the robbin seeks a colder clime; when bats and owls hant their holes, and fire-flies are 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'; His 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 pitch with which to adorn and beautify her home. 'Tis the glorious Spring-time, when Nature risss from her lethargy, shakes off the cold and fcloom and despair of Winter, arrays herself in Easter gar? ments, and says to all the world, do thou likewise and be happy.

Tbe wedding was a great surprise to the families of both the bride and groom Tbe couple attended Church in tbe morning, and immediately sfter the benediction approached the pastor and told him their object. He immediately periormed the ceremony. We join Paul's many friends in extending coagratula tines, and wish be and bis bride a long life ! of happiness and prosperity. Tbe Board of Trustees met yesterday to , adopt a plan for the graded school build* iug, and, as there were seven plans sub? mitted, it did not complete its work until this morning. The plan submitted by Mr Ohas. C. Wilson, of the firm of Tinsley & Wilson, architects, Lynchburg, Va., was. selected, and it presents a very handsome appearance The outside dimensions of the building are 175 feet front and 87 feet deep. There are 14 class rooms, besides the Superintendent's office and the Library, with a capacity of 625 students. Lost Thursday we had a most pleasant visit from our venerable friend, Mr. Wm. E. Eskew, of Denver, who was accom? panied by bis brother, Mr. John Eskew, of Franklin County, Ga-, who is over here spending a few days. The former is 84 years of age and the latter 82, and both are enjoying very good health. These gentlemen were born and reared near this city, and in their boyhood days, before Anderson was located, use to romp all over the fields where the town now stands. Mr John Eskew moved to Georgia years before tbe war and has continued to reside there. Mr. Wm. Eskew has always lived in this County, and is one of our best and most upright citizens. He bss been a continuous subscriber to tbe Intelligen? cer ever since its first number, and always pays for it in advance. He does not visit the city very often now, but when he comes his many friends are always de? lighted to greet him. proper shape. There is a business as well as sentimental slue 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 core croaking, he can make a fortune in Anderson County. A man's house needs painting, inside aod out, but he has croak? ed and whined and groaned over hard times and five cants cotton, (when proba? bly he never hoed a hill of it in his life,) until his faithful wife see3 him depart every morning, and with tears in her eyes, says, *Tll not worry him about it n >w, he's so bothered about business; maybo when times get easier ttc can have the house painted aud fixed up " And that worried man gels 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 think it will. At least, stop in at some Paint Store and investigate the matter. Any of them can tell you bow much it will coat, if you know thesiz9 of your house. Of course, we should like to sell you the Paint. We honestly believe wo keep as large and A practical farmer Bays: " In planting Irish potatoes the ground should be well spaded or broken with the plow. The manure should be well rotted and mixed with the soil. If guano or other fertilizer is put in the drill it should be covered about an inch deep and the potato planted above it. If the young tubers are formed in soil that has half decomposed manure, they will have black spots on tbem. They will lack in aweetnesB and solidity. The furrow in which the potatoes are planted should be a deep one so that when they are cover? ed about four inches deep, the bed will be low and flat. The rows should be 21 to 3 feet wide and the potatoes, whether whole or cut, should be about 10 inches apart in the drill." The three-year old daughter of Peggy Herbert, a white woman who lives in the Tugaloo section of Ooonee County, was fatally burned last Wednesday. The child, with two older brothers, bad been left at the house while the rest of the family were at work in the fields. The boys went to look after the cows, leaving the little girl at the fire in the yard and her clothing catching on fire, she ran after tbem. One of the boys quenched the flames by dash? ing the child into a mud puddle, but ne?rly every vestige of clothing was con Humed. Tbe boy carried the child to the house, put other clothing on it and took it in bis arms to its mother in the field. It recognized its mother, and when she reach? ed tbe house with it it cried to be carried on to a neighbor's, wishing evidently to get away from tbe scene of its misfortune. Death ended its suffering in a few hours. Mr. Henry Garrison died at hii borne near Bowersville, Ga., last Tuesday, at 12 o'clook, after an illness of several months. Mr. Garrison was born and reared in An? derson County, and was about 73 years of age. He moved to this town about 40 years ago, and continued to reside here until the death of bis wife a few years ago, when he moved to Georgia. He was a ] painter by trade, and was well known in this section. He had long been a consis? tent member of the Methodist Church, and was a most excellent citizen. He had the esteem and confidence of all of his acquain? tances, and as few enemies perhaps as any man who ever lived in our midst. His remains will be brought to Anderson this evening, and to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock, the funeral services will be held in the Methodist Church, after which his remains will be laid to rest beside those of his wife in the Presbyterian Churchyard.

A very pretty and impressive marriage occurred in this city this morning at 9:30 o'clock, at tbe home of tbe bride on South Main street, the contracting parties being Mr Jasper M. Bell and Miss Carrie Seel, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Seel. The ceremony was performed bv Rev. D. E Frieraon. D D.. assisted by Rev. O. L. Martin and Rev J. N. H Summereil, and was witnessed by the relatives and a few friends of the young oouple. After tbe ceremony delioious refreshments were served to the guests, who were seated at tables. At 11: IS tbe bride and groom left the cily for Columbia to visit a sister of tbe latter, carrying with them tbe warmest congratulations and best wishes of their many friends. Tbey were tbe re? cipients of manv beautiful and useful presents. Mr. Bell is a popular and worthy young man. and is employed bh a mtlearoan in Mr. K S Hill's store Ho baa won the hand and heart of one of An? derson's moit excellont young ladies, who will be a faithful helpmate to him through? out life. We extend the yonng couple our congratulations, and wish tbem a bappy and prosperous voyage through theBtormy sea of life. On or about the 14th of April, Mr. Jas. T. Bacon, the brilliant and accomplished editor of the Edgefield Chronicle, will de liver bis lecluro called, "An Old Mao's Kranky Kaliede*C:-pe," in our Opera Hou?e. This lecture haa been delivered in Newherry, Columbia, Aiken, Charles? ton, and other places in our State, to large and cultured audiences, who were charm? ed by it. Mr. Bacon is well known as a writer of infinite humor, keen satire, and tender pathos, and those who have heard his lecture Bay that it abounds in these characteristic touches- It deals with the things of a past rapidly growing faint and Indistinct, and to those who can yet re? member this picture of that time will fur? nish a happy retroppect. To the younger generation it will be an inkling of the days of the farthers and mothers. Mr. Bacon is likewise an accomplished musician, and intersperses bis lecture with selections from the grpatest of the composers. This will be in itself a rare treat, which none should miss. He is not wholly a stranger here, and his friends of tbe olden time will welcome him again to our hospitable little city, and will take pride in showing him how we aregrowingin material prosperity, in culture, in wealth, and in happiness, whilst the "Everlasting Hills" keep their solemn watch over us. Mr. Richard L Williams, eldest child of our venerable friend, Capt. M. B. Williams, died at his home in the Piercelown section last Thursday night, 21nt inat., at 11 o'clock, aged Bbont 60 years. About one year ego Mr. Williams was stricken with paralysis, and since that time had been in very feeble health, and for the past three months had been confined to his room. He had long been a great sufferer from an old wound received in the war, and was also afflicted with Brigbt's disease, which caused his death. His death, therefore, was expected at any time by his loved well selected Stock as can be found in the up country.

On Saturday afternoon his remains were buried in the Beti'nb Churchyard, the ser? vices being conducted by tbe pastor. Rev. N. G. BalleDger, after which th? Masons took charge of tho body and laid it away with the honors of thnt noblo order. A wife and one son, besides hid aged father, five sisters and one brother, are lefc to cherish his memory. Mr. Williams had long been a faithful member of tbe Metho? dist Church, and was a most worthy citi? zen, being highly esteemed by his friends and acquaintances. In 18GL when tho first call for volunteers in the cause of the Con? federacy was made, Mr. Williams was among the first to respond, entering tho 4th South Carolina Volunteer*, which was afterward merged into the Palmetto Sharp? shooters, Jenkins' Brigade. The Confed? eracy did not haven more gallant defender, and he was wounded three times, once in the hand, next in tho arm whilo rescuing tbe flag, and lastly in the leg, which dis? abled him and gavo him pain until his death. We join tbe friends of the deceased in tondering our sympathies to tbe bereaved family. To the Survivors of the Palmetto Riflemen. The members of Co. B, 4th S. C. Vols., and Co. C, S.

James A. Hoyt, Vice-Pres't. Survivors' Association. The Graded School Site. Anderson. S. C, March 23, 1695. Editors Intelligencer : I am i n form - ed that Trusteed for Graded School have located on vacant lot near tbe Savannah Valley depot. Tbe Jot itself is beautiful enough, but there are two very serious ob? jections to surroundings: 1st. It Is too near tbe Railroad with its attractions unless other buildings or ob? structions cut off the view of that place. 2nd. The street is entirely too narrow for a school of this kind, and it is for the future not Just the present we must work, for, I Btippoae the school will last as long as time. You can't safely and convenient? ly torn a buggy around in it. Two wagons can only pass as on any highway. You will have to take in all tbe sidewalk to get street wide enough. It will take aa much money to buy right of way for new walks, which ought to be 12 or 15 feet wide, as to buy tbe lot. Would it not be better before the matter goes too far to weigh it carefully, for there must be other places whore you will find the streets and walks adequate to your wants, without bo muoh extra expense, as it all oomes from the city. A Tax Pater. Welcome Items. Services were held here oa the 16tb and 17tb, sod Rev. M. McGee, the pastor, preaobed two good sermons. Two persons joined the Church by letter. The Church agreed to bold its conference on Saturdays, at 10:30 o'clock. There will be preaching on Saturdays and Sundays, at 11 o'clock (sun time). We are ail pleased with the pastor. We have five widowers in this commun? ity. One of them, who bas no children, says be is very lonely. So look out for the cake, ladies. Mr. and Mrs. Jeptba Harper are talking of a trip to Texas in May next. They have lots of kin and acquaintances in tbs ' Lone Star" State, and the trip will no doubt be a most delightful one. If any nice young lady wants to go to Texas on a visit, she would do well to see Mr. and Mrs. Harper. The weather continues cold and wet, but notwithstanding this the people are gardening, bedding potatoes and hauling guano. Mr. J. H. Hutchinson is on the sick list. Mr. Lee Welborn drovo his wagon over a pig and killed it a few days ago. Of course, he will pay the good lady for her pig, and will no doubt be more careful in the future. J.

The farmers are anxious and ready to go to work, but the showers keep fulling and prevent them from doing much. Our people are not visiting very much just now. From tho reports of the corres? pondents of the Intelligencer it eeems that the folks in some sections are gorgtd with visitors. In all the papers we read wo are told Hint the farmers are eoing to ralao more b"g and hominy. We will soon gee whether it is true or not. I believe in roform, Mr. Editor, at all times, but if what we have had the last few years is reform, I am like the fellow at the hotel who orderod coffee, when the waiter brought him some water that evi? dently had about three grains to the gal? lon. The waiter was told to carry it back and bring pome coffee. The waiter replied, "this is coffee, sir." "Well," replied the boarder, "if that is coffee, bring me some tea." If there ever was a time to talk about ring rule, bosses aud petfl, that time is now. We not only have them in the State, but Anderson County is under their control. Our County has loo many pets, and the majority of the voters seem ready to obey them at any and all times. We should all go to bed, sleep three weeks and get up and rob our heads with a brick bat, wash our faces and take a new start for honest reform in 1890.
