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?

likewise and be happy. At this season ail

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.

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

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,

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.

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. We handle the " Mastic

of the business by keeping what the peo?

if the man you prefer hasn't got what you
want try us. Sentiment is a grand thing,
but sentimentalem is sickening. We
have a few people who trade here because
it is us, but the vast majority of those who
come here come becacee we have somo
ones, and was really a relief to the unfor?
tunate man, who bore his sufferings wiih
the patience characteristic of a true Chris?
tian, and who had long ago made his peace
with God, and was ready and willing to go
and rest with tho Saviour in that eternal
home where theie in no fullering or paiu.
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.

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.

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.
