The ad? dress will be fonnd on the fonrth page of the Intelligences, and if you will read it yon will learn all the particulars. j " Well, John, you seem to be under the weather. What is the matter?" we re? marked to our clever friend, John A. Aus? tin, when we met him on the street Mon? day morning. "Oh, nothing much," he replied, " only I am suffering for want of Bleep." How so ?" we asked. " Why a little girl arrived at my house Saturday night that has a pair of lungs that would wake the seven sleepers, and if that is not enough to cause a fellow to look and feel bad, too, then I don't know what would." With this we left him to get along with bis troubles as beet he could. Capt. Jas. T. Bacon, the genial editor of the Edgefield Advertiser, speaks as follows of one of Anderson's oitizeos: "For a year past, our beloved friend, Gen. M. L. Bon ham?or, as seems more natural and from th e-heart to no, Millege Bon ham?hat been a citizen of the beautiful and enter? prising Piedmont city of Anderson, where as a .lawyer, he has assumed first rank, and where, as a man and citizen, he has won all hearts. Anderson's late memorial exercises were extremely elaborate, in fact absolutely splendid. And Edgefield's Mil? lege Bonham was the orator of the day." Miss Hubbard's Home School will close its 14th year with an exhibit of School Work and Methods, on Tuesday, June 4th. The school building will be open to the pnblic in the morning from 10 to 12, and in the afternoon from 4.30 to 7.

Music will be furnished by the pupils of the muslo department. Every one is Invited to come, especially persons from the country for whose con- | venience the morning hour is arranged, but not for them exclusively. All will be welcome.

Carlisle, wife of Mr. D. E. Carlisle, of this city, died on Tuesday morning last, after a protracted illness, in the 65 th year of her age. Mrs. Carlisle was born and reared near Lowndesville, and was married to Mr. D. E. Carlisle in 1890, and bas lived in Anderson since that time. When quite young she joined the Presbyterian Church at Lowndesville, and lived a consistent Christian life, j Coming to Anderson almost a stranger, in a short while she made many friends, who are grieved at her departure. Her remains were carried to Lowndesville to day and interred by the Bide of her moth er, Rev. D. E. Frlerson conducting the funeral services. Mr. Carlisle has the sympathy of a host of friends in his be? reavement, j The Greenville News of the 23rd inst. says: "Mrs. Sarah Hatcher, living on Boyce street, died suddenly last night at 9.30 o'clock of paralysis of the throat She was as well as usual during the day and ate her supper at the usual time, after which ehe was seated in the front piazza and was taken so suddenly ill that she j died before medical assistance could be rendered. Dr. Pack, her physician, was immediately sent for but life was extinot I when he arrived. She was a native of I Anderson County but bad lived in our city since 1872, and she reared a large family of sons and daughters. Officer Hatcher, of the police force, Augustus Hatcher, of Hogenot mills, Mrs. LaFoy, Mrs. Howell, Mrs. Donaldson, of this olty, Mrs. Anna Wheat, wife of Superintendent Wheat, of I Gaffney Cotton nulls, are the children. 8he was a member of the Baptist Church of many years standing." Mrs. Mattie Theodore, second daughter j of the late Zimrlah Sharps, of this city, died In Spartanburg last Friday night, after a brief illness. On Thursday morn iug she amused her husband by being in j convulsions, which continued for about 12 hours, when she became unoonsoious and remained so until she breathed her last. Mrs. Theodore was about 23 years of sge, and was married in this olty last Novem? ber. She was co excellent, amiable wo? man, and in her early girlhood joined the Baptist Church. She was in her nsual health op to two days preceding her death, and the announcement of her death was a great shock to her friends and acquaintances I in Anderson, where she was born, reared and bad always lived until a few months ago. Her mother, one brother and several sisters survive her, and la their bereave* j ment they have many sympathies. The remains were interred In Sparenburg. The Honea Path Chronicle of last week says: 41 Dr. J. T. McBrlde left yesterday I for Jenkinsville, Fairfield County, where ho goes to wed Miss Sallie Cbappelle, of that place, Dr. Woodrow, of Columbia, j officiating. The bride, it will be remem- I bered, is a sister of Mrs. Dr. Ho ago, and I bas many friends at this place. The groom [ is the pastor of the Pre.-by terian Church, of this place, and is universally liked for his bigb character, and genial manners. Both are to be congratulated on their mar-1 riage and are too well known by the peo? ple of this section to need any introduo- I tion. They will come to Donalds on the 2 SO train, this afternoon, and will be ten dered a reception by Mr. and Mrs. J. C. 1 Cald well." Dr. McBryde has many friends among the readers of the Intelligencer who will read the above with interest, and will join us in extending he and his bride our congratulations. Mr. W. D. Garrison, of Sandy Springs J section, has shown us a part of an old "day book," which was kept by an un known party doing business at old Pendle ton Court House, in 1803 The book was found among the papers of the late Thos. L. Reid, and is supposed to have been the property of Wm. Steele, who settled the Idace on which Mr. Reid subsequently I ived and died, he having puichased it after Mr. Steele's death. The leaves of this old book now before us are well pre served and the writing perfectly clear and I as legible as on the day It was written, more than ninety years ago. It Is inter? esting to note the prices then paid for Bome artioles, which are now so cheap as to attract but little attention. For instance we find half a yard of cambric, 91 00; one pair worsted stockings, $l.G2J; half bushel salt, $1 50; one ounce cinnamon, 25 cents; one tin coffee pot, $100. Capt. Wm. Brown Is charged with one bible, $13.50. Robert Speed is credited with 244 pounds of cotton at three cents, and charged with half bushel salt at $150. General Andtew Picken a, Samuel Earle, Esq., El am Sharpe, the latter the father of Or. M. L. Sharpe, and many other familiar names are on to is old book. Elam Sharpe is charged with G2J cents postage on four letters. William Hamilton, a wagoner, is credited by hauling two loads to Char? leston, $100 EG. Pretty i freight. -Samuel Maverick is charge, a I. postage on letter to bis wife, 17 cent Strange were tbe ways of "ye olden times." i A row occurred nt Tallulah Falls yester? day afternoon just before tbe Smith ex? cursion train left that point for home, in which quite a number of persons were more or less hurt. It seems that -a Mr. Flemming.of Laurens County, was drunk, ' and was creating a great deal of trouble In the baggage cor. Policeman Atkins, of Tallulab Falls, attempted to arrest him, when Flemming drew his pistol and at? tempted to phoot. He was disarmed by J. A. Dilllngham, who was assisting the policeman, but drew a knife and very seriously wounded the officer, Atkins, on the left side of the neck. Several friends of the drunk man took his part against the policeman, who, by this time, had been reinforced by another policeman and Sheriff Glbble, of Habersham County, and finally got Flemming into a car and look? ed the door, and tbe train pulled out for Cornelia. Upon reaching this place, tbe sheriff, who remained on the train, suc? ceeded with the aid of a deputy in arrest? ing the offending parties, and lodged five of them in tbe guard-house at Cornelia. Tbey will be taken back to Clarksvllle, Ga., to answer for their violation of the laws of Georgia. Pistols, knives and knucks figured very extensively in the fight. Whiskey was the canse of it. The wounded policeman will probably recov? er. On the way from Tallulah Falls to Cornelia, the drunken rowdies amused themselves by cutting up the car seats, breaking windows and firing their pistols. They will doubtless be taught very salu? tary lessons by the time tbe law visits upon them the punishment they so richly merit. Belton News. Editor Branyon, of the Honea Path Chronicle, was in town Monday and Tues? day. Miss Eva Murphy, of jour city, Is visit? ing friends here. Miss Mattie Brown is away on an ex? tended visit to Spartanburg and Green? ville. Mr. T. 0. Kirkpatrick was in our town Sunday and Monday on his return from Lowndesville, where he has just closed a full and progressive school. He has re? turned to his old home, Donalds, where he will engage In mercantile business. Mr. W. K. Stringer has returned from Sumter, where he very ably represented Belton Lodge, K.of P., in the annual State Convention of that fraternity. Mr. J. D. Campbell has returned from Spartanburg, where he has been attending tbe series of muslcales given at Converse College. Mr. Campbell has a very beau? tiful cottage in process of erection on the southern side of town which, when com? pleted, will greatly increase the ornamen? tation of our already beautiful village. Miss Gennette Austin, of Williamston, visited relatives here last week. We are glad to inform our readers that Mrs. R. A. Lewis, who has been almost hopelessly ill for some time, is much bet? ter and constantly improving. The excursion to Tallulah passed here on time this morning, (Tuesday) and the already very large crowd was increased by about thirty from this place. We notice the pleasant and apparently very happy countenances of Misses Claudia Prerost and Corrie Poore, and Messrs. Rhett Parker and Walter Brock, at the closing exercises of the Belton High School Monday evening. Another term of the Belton High School. was very happily and successfully termi? nated on Monday evening .last. Under the efficient and perfectly satisfactory management of Prof. H. T. Smith, the last term bas been one of the most success ful within the memory of the writer. In fact, too muob praise cannot be bestowed upon Prof. Smith, and also upon his brother, Prof. J. T. Smith, who preceded him as teacher, for the able manner in which they have conducted the school. The present high standard of the school was attained by Prof. J. T. Smith, and has since been successfully maintained by the present teacher. The. school, notwith? standing many very near country schools and also opposition schools in town, has been strong Doth numerically and intellec? tually. At the invitation of Prof. Smith, many of the friends and patrons of the school assembled at the school building Monday forenoon to witness the final ex? aminations of the pupils. It is almost im Eossible for one, not having heard, to be eve with what ease, grace and lack of effort almost every question propounded was answered. And the questions were, a great many of them, difficult, and put with (he greatest fairness. In fact, the fairness and impartiality of the examina? tions would have done justice to even any of our colleges. In snort, the examina? tions were excellent, and all who witness? ed them expressed themselves as perfectly satisfied with the standing exhibited by tbe pupils and the work done by Prof. Smith. 'Being the last day of school, the smaller children were naturally gay and jubilant and consequently a little unman? ageable. But, notwithstanding this argu? ment against them, we are sorry to Bay that their decorum was far superior to that of a few of tbe spectators. In the afternoon, the spacious hall on the top floor of the school building was beautifully decorated under the tasteful supervision of Miss Rosa Tribble, tbe assistant teaoher, and in the evening, long before the cur? tains were raised revealing the visions of loveliness concealed by tbem. tbe build? ing was literally crammed. Every seat, window and foot of standing room was utilized by some sturdy son or delicate daughter of Adam or Eve as the case may be. It was hot. The perspiration ran in rivulets down our backs. Handkerchiefs were at a premium. Fans were in demand. We expect to see but one place hotter. But when the curtains were raised all this was forgotten, and all placed themselves in a comfortable position for the literary enjoyment which followed. The pro? gramme consisted in recitations, music, dialogues and short dramas. All the par? ticipants acquitted themselves creditably ?indeed we were ignorant of our posses? sion of tbe talent exhibited. As we looked at the bright, joyous faces and happy countenances of the boys and girls, we thought that if to us would be given the opportunity of having three wishes grant? ed, as it was to the old gentleman in the fairy tale, they would be these: First, That once more we could be young and play abont tbe old Belton school house as we did many years ago. Second, That Prof. Smith wonld .be our teacher, and third that we could have guaranteed to us as much enjoyment as, we know, that Prof. Smith's pupils will have during their vacation. We would write more but time forbids. Everything passed off success? fully. The patrons and trustees expressed themselves as eminently satisfied. Let us not stop at this one success. Let the trustees re-elect Prof. Smith and let Monday even ing's success be an incentive to them to co operate with him more in the future than in the past and continue the work of building up one of the best schools in upper Carolina. Usurper. Belton High School. The Commencement of the Belton High School was held Monday evening. The exercises of the occasion, well-selected and admirably executed, were a fitting close to one of the most successful years in the history of this institution. The audience-room of the School-building was completely filled by a large number of Interested patrons and appreciative spec? tators, not only from Belton but from all the surrounding communities. The presiding officer of the exhibition was Rev. H. T. Smith, who for the past year has served as principal of the School, and to whose ability as a teacher and educa? tional manager tbe successful and meri? torious execution of the programme, not only by the School as a whole, but by every individual performer of the even? ing was a pleaslDg tribute. Credit is also In a large measure due to the efficient work of his assistant, Miss Rosa Tribble, and to Miss Daisy Rice, under whose di? rection the musical features of the enter? tainment were managed and consumma? ted. The programme in detail was as fol? lows: Prayer, by Rev. J. T. Smith. Song?"The g^r Spangled Banner, ' by the school. "The Boys We Need," Muter Leon Rice. "Mama's Little Helper," Miss Marie Smith.

Well, Mr Editor, we don't like to give ourselves away, but will try and give a partial ao count during our absence of our difficul? ties, &c . After tbe expiration of our school, I being worn out, both physically and mentally, reared back on my dignity resolving to rest op for the ne:;t three months. And while building air castles, the old man cometh in, and he said unto Judge: "What doeth thou hen?" And I said nnto him: "Surely tbe laborers are plentiful and tbe harvest is great. I there fore Intendeth to go abroad." And he said: "The harvest is great and the laborers are few; get thee from here, and go work for thy wages, for tbe time is at hand." And I goetb forth to work for mine living with a sore back and heavy spirit. And I came unto a man of much wealtb in the heat of day, and seeing me in distress, said he unto me: "Son, come into mine house and I will give nnto thee much to eat and great work to do," and being in great dis? tress and hungered, I agreed to come under his command. Therefore, I sallied oot into the burning sun and draweth the bell cord over an ass' back, and my mas? ter, being greatly pleased with my tact and willingness to obey orders, Btrntetb around in great ecstacy over being lucky in securing me under bis control. And in the evening while I plowetb I looked to? ward tbe great sunset, and lo, a man aproacheth with an unsteady step, and carrieth something in bis hand. And when he cometh nigh unto me, be said: "Take ye and drink of what I made last evening, for surely thou art worried from the days of toll," and he draweth the stop? per, and tbe air was filled with a strange odor, and he belched out a stagnath breath. And being loath to do his bidding, putteth tbe thing to my mouth, and be came as if one posses ed of a devil and seeketh whom he may devour. The ground flyeth up and atriketb me in the race, and I aitteth down bard and gelteth up slowly. I was rich, measured money by the bushels and counteth it not. The trees began to whirl, and 1 was sick at the stomach and vomiteth ont evil odors, for I was as of one possessed of an nnclean spirit, and when I became sobered I was Blow to Bpeak, ashamed to meet any intelligent being, my nerves were wrong and my brain dull. Now, friends and readers, be ye thereby warned. Watch, for tbe hour is at hand when the sous of men must meet at the judgment bar of God, and give an account of the deeds done in the body. Tbe world is fall of treachery, vice, and traps to catch the young and inexper? ienced, and again I implore that ye be therefore warned. In due time we goeth to church and men cometh drunken on the fire water of the devil himself?young men with a dispensary bottle in their Gokets. Parents should aet an example fore their children that would be an honor to follow, and that tend to make men of them and not drunkards Beoire ful and cautious, fathers, brothers, old men, young men and all, and atrlve to make all happy, instead of outcasts, and all will be well. One of our yonng men from Clearmoot came down to see hia girl the other Sunday and a severe and heavy rain atorm came down and, being obliged to return home, put off through the mud, in gleeful anti? cipation of the joy he would have on the following Sunday, according to engage? ment, but having a stream to cross he rushed on, in order to get over before the flowing waters came down, bnt, alas! to his scheme. When be reached the stream lo and behold the waters were overflowing her banks, snd be being loath to get his new suit wet, called on Mr. Smith to assist bim in crossing, for, said he, ' I will pull off my clothes and coon a log up the stream, and you drive Dolly in when I get over. I can catch her." So he crosses safely, but when tbe mare was driven in she declined to go further than the middle of tbe stream. Therefore, onr yonng friend swims in, but forgets bis clothes, and in so doing they were thoroughly drenobed, and if you want to see him blush, walk and ask him where he got that new anit, and wby be did not call on the following Sun? day, and he will disappear.

A Day That's Passed. The farmyard seems deserted, No one is in sight, They mast have gone to preaching, Or by some means are very qniet. Tbe door is tightly closed, The shades are all drawn down, The roosters quietly croiv, And slowly walk around. No horse* neigh is heard, No blundering lackeys whoa, The farmers' well bred herd I* off in the valley below. The pigeon o'er head in sailing In its easy graceful Sight, Tbe doves in tbe quiet old orchard, Are basking in the warm sunlight. Noon time brings old Chloe? The family's faithful slave, Her duties she learned so well, From a master now in the grave. She carefully feeds the chicken*, And water in the trough she puts, She shoos away tbe hawk. When too near the yard be soars. Tbe noon time slowly wanes, And afternoon bright and mild, Cornea forward with a gentle murmur As if it feared to chide. Natures' dress is bright and green, The leaves ara nearly grown, And from this leafy bower, Tbe bobolink trills his sweetest tones. But natures' peace Is soon disturbed, By tbe clatter of turning wheels, Up to tbe gate a young rn<?o drives, But, oh, how changed h? feels. He rings, and rings, agiln, But bid true love is not there, He, this time, fails to see her, The one be thinks bo fair. Homeward now he slowly drives, Not oaring whither he roams, But o'er and o'er again he says, I wish she had been "at home." Bat even's shades will lengthen, And the moon, not the sun, Will xhine across their highway, Ere the family to their homes will come. Eubeka. Plue Greve Items. Well, I hope this will escape the waste banket this time. The health of this community is very good at present, with the exception of bad colds. Grass is looking fine, but the farmers are rushing to catch It before it gets too far ahead of them. Mr. Charles Carroll and his mother went on a visit to Donalds last week. There was a large crowd at New Pros? pect last third Sunday, and Mr. Hawkins preaohed a good sermon. It seems that new buggies are the style now. I will have to get one for "Malin? da" and I to ride in. Mr.-went to see his girl the other night and as be came home he cams by the graveyard. He says a cat like to caught im, and he ran all tbe way home. Don't come bv tbe graveyard tbe nexc time. Mr. E. still goes to see Malinda yet. But when I get my new buggy I am going to try to cut him out. I suppose our good citizen has fonnd a remedy for those now diseases with the exception of the "Big gall," for tbe others are nearly well I sent my news last week, but I guess they were put in the waste basket "Old Joe" 1b always imposed on, has to wait till everybody else is through before he commences, but as It was my best girl "Malinda Jane" that wrote the news it la all right- I thank her very much for them.
