" 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

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."

Mrs. Martha I. 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?

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.

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.

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?

Mr. W. K. Stringer has returned from

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?

"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

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

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. Old Job.
