She bad been in bad health for a number of years with some lung trouble, and for the past two years had been confined to her room. Mrs. Cannon was a daughter of tbe late Dr John Sullivan, of Greenville County, and was about 85 yearn old. She bad many noble qualities of both heart and mind, and was most highly esteemed by all of her friends and acquaintances. Truly a good woman has gone to her reward. She leaves one son and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her death, her husband and two daughters having preceded her to the grave. Her remains were interred Tues? day afternoon in the Shady Grove Church? yard. The Atlanta Constitution of last Satur? day says: "Miss Martha E- Marshall, daughter of Rsv. A. E. Marshall and sister of Rev. A. A. Marshall, breathed her last Thursday night, after a brief Illness. Miss Marshall was 45 years old and her life had been devoted to Christian work. She had long been a faithful and consecrated mem? ber of the Baptist Church and had a best of friends who will sadly miss her in church work. Miss Marshall was ill only for a few days and her sudden deatb was a great shook to tbe family. Her brother. Rev. A. A. Marshall, is on his wedding tour, and could not be located and consequently knows nothing of tbe sad death of his Bis? ter.

Eight days proceeding tbe death of tbe young man he had a very severe hemorrhage, and from that time until bis death the flow of blood was almost continuous, ceasing only when his nose was plugged, and then clots of blood would form and have i;o be re? moved. Several physicians were called to see the young man, and everything possi ble was done to relieve him, but il; was all in vain. The deceased's brother reached his bedside just a short time before he breathed bis last, and to-day carried bis remains to bis old home in Habersbam County, Ga. The corner stone of our handsome grsded school building was laid last Friday after? noon by Hiram Lidge, A. F.

Hill, District Daputy Grand Master, officiated, and tbe exercises were opened with prayer by tbe Grand Chaplain, Rev. A T. Dunlep. After the ceremonies were concluded, dipt. Hill made a brief but appropriate address, ia wbich he i>poke of Masonry and the custom of laying corner stones. Short addresses were then made by 6. E. Prince, E -q , chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Rev. J. N. H. Summerei], of tbe Presbyterian Cnurcb, The remarks, of these gentlemen were ex? ceedingly interesting and impresuive. A short Bketoh of tbe graded school, the roll of the officers and members of Hiram Lodge, a list of tbe municipal, County, State and National officers and copies of tbe last issue of tbe County papers were deposited in the oorner stone. Tbe News and Courier of last Friday says: 'The board of visitors of tbe South Carolina Military Academy announce tbat beneficiary vacancies now exist in tbe Citadel as follows: Aiken 1, Anderson 1, Berkeley 1, Clarendon 1, Gresnville 2, Horry 1, Orangeburg 1. Richland 1, Spar tanburg 1, Piokens 1, Williamsburg 1 and York 1. Tbis presents an opportunity f >r young men in the counties named, which may be said to come but once in a lifetime, for the vacancies once filled are filled lor four years, and the young men now eligi? ble are not likely to be eligible when the next vacanoy for their county occurs. Tbe Citadel stands next to West Point as a military school, and in tbat respect no otber institution in tbe United States at all competes with it. The testimony of the army inspectors for several years has been uniform in support of this claim. To have four years free education and all expenses paid at tbe Citadel is a prize for wbich any young man should be willing to work. It Is tbe best gift which tbe State offers to ber boys. Those wishing to compete should apply promptly to Gen. Johnson Hagood, chairman of the board of visitors, at Barn well, 8. C, who will furnish any needed information and tbe requisite blanks.

Under the above caption tbe Abbeville i Press and Banner of last week says: 11 The Anderson Intelligencer leads tbe way for others to follow. That office was tbe first country office in tbe State to use steam power on the printing press. It has now laid away its Bteam engine and harnessed electricity. The electricity la generated some biz milea in the country. The Intelligencer is one of the very bent papers received at this office, and its circulation is perhaps greater than tbat of any other oountry paper in the State. 'The only objection tbat we can urge to tbat paper is the bachelor editor's big mustache and hia failure to marry. Any man who edits as good a paper as the Anderson Intellicences ought to be dealt with for contempt of Court (Cupid'a Court) if be doesn't get married before next Christ? mas." The Intelligencer certainly appreci? ates tbe compliment paid it by the Press and Banner, for editor Wilson ia recog? nized aa an expert judge of newspapers, even if he does get a little off on politics occasionally. We are also very grateful that he can urge only two objections to our paper, viz: "the bachelor editor's big mus? tache and hia failure to marry." These objections are very flimsy, and we do not think they come with good gxace from the editor of the Press and Banner, a man who does not practice what he preaches. It ia a well known fact that he baa been wearing a big mustache for forty years, more or less, and if he has ever married no notice of it baa ever been published. Now if the editor of the Press and Banner will shave off bis big mustache and get married, this , bachelor editor will do hiB best to follow suit. A Peace Proposition. With a view to settle the differences now existing in this County as to tbe number of delegates each faction is to have in the Constitutional Convention, and, if possi? ble, to avoid a fight in this County, the following resolution was adopted by tbe Conservative meeting held here last Mon? day, and a committee appointed who pre? sented the same to Mr. W. T. McGrill, Chairman of the Irby Executive Commit? tee for this County, with tbe request tbat he call his committee together and act on said resolution at once. Tbe following ia the resolution : Resolved? That a committee of three, consisting of J. D. Maxwell, J. W. Quat tlebaum an d C. C. Langston, be appoint? ed from the members of this convention to present the request of this convention to tbe Democratic Executive Committee of this County, acting under what ia com? monly known as tbe "Irby Committee," that the said committee reconsider its re? cent action in voting down a resolution looking to the equal division of delegates to the Constitutional Convention between the Reformers and Conservatives, and that said Committee be requested by this Con? vention to recommend to the voters of tbe County tbat they elect delegates to the Convention on a basis of giving eqnal representation to each of the factions in she party, and issue an address to the vo? ters calbng upon them to adopt this recom? mendation, and carry the same ont in good faith by voting for three Reformers and three Conservatives, whose names are to be proposed by the faollon to which they respectively belong, for members of said Convention. This resolution was presented to Chair? man McGill this morning, but up to the hour of going to press he bad issued no call for a meeting of his Committee.

In tbe returns of pfr sonal property there has been numerically an increase in every department, except as to flog?, wbioh we trust is a hopeful sign. The deer ease in the value of person? al property Is attributed to the decrease in tbe valne of horses and mules, whioh has fallen off at least 30 per cent. The Increase in real estate is attributable to additional returns and new structures in tbe County. There are 5,141 pollp, which will be in? creased by additional returns to at least 7,000 in the fall. The above, we think, is a fine showing for Anderson County. Auditor Boleman, who is a moat efficient and accommodating officer, informs us tbat his books for this vear are the largest tbat have ever beun used In the County, which shows that we are gradually growing in wealth and popu? lation. The District Conference. The 29th Annual Session of the Green? ville District Conference, M. E. Church, South, convened in tbe Methodist Chnrcb, this city, on Wednesday evening, July 10th. Tbe opening sermon was preached by Rev. J. E. Grler of St. Paul's Church, Greenville. His text was Psalm 46: 1.0, "Be still, and know tbat I am God." T.ae sermon was thoughtful and helpful. At tbe conclusion of the sermon Rev. T. J. Clyde, the Presiding Elder of this Dis? trict, called the Conference to order and requested Rev. G. P. Watson to call the roll. Twenty-throe clerical and thirteen lay delegates answered to their names, though between 50 and 60 were present during the session. Rev. A. N. Brunson was elected secretary, with Prof. W. S. Morrison assistant. The hours of meet? ing and adjournment were fixed and the Conference adjourned with the benedic? tion by Rev. J. E. Grier. Thursday morning at 9.30 the Confer? ence was called to order and the progra m previously arranged by the Presiding Elder was taken up at the beginning. Questions of interest and importance to the Church throughout this District were assigned to different members of tbe Conference for discussion. These speeches were of a high order of excellence, and will surely do much good. Some of the speakers of the morning session were Revs. M. H. Pooser, C. V. Barnes, A. T. Dunlap and Prof. Morrison. The busi? ness session was followed with a very comforting sermon by Rev. S. H. Zim? merman, of Pendle ton, from the text "I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with t hy likeness." The opening exercises of the afternoon session were oonducted by Rev. T. P. Phillips, of Greers. The secretary read reports from the various charges on tbe "Spiritual state of the Churoh." Discus? sions were resumed and short speeches were made by Revs. G. P. Watson, W. T. Duncan, J. F. Anderson, O. L. Duraat, J. E. Grier and A. G. Ballenger. At night Rev. W. L Wait, .of Donalds, preaohed a very impressive sermon from the words "Give an account of thy stew? ardship." Friday morning business was resumed at 9 30. Rev. Jno. O. Willson, editor of j the Southern Christian Advocate, was in? troduced to the Conference, and vras heard in behalf of that important insti tu? tion. Resolutions were adopted requir? ing the preachers to make renewed effort to enlarge tbe circulation of the Advocate. The remainder of the session was con? sumed by discussions pertaining to the j enlarged efficiency of our Sunday School work, pe rticipated in by R. S. Ligon, J. M. Whitmire, G. P. Watson and J. B. Sanders. Missions was the subject for the afternoon session. Rev. Jno. Atta way, T. P. Phillips, W. A. Kelley and W. M, Harden were the speakers. Rev. P. B. Wells discussed the Epworth League. Three preachers were then recommend? ed to the next annual Conference for ad? mission on trial into the itineracy.?Revp. Jas. L. Mullinix, A. V. Hardin and W. B. Verdln. At 5 o'clock the Conference adjourned to attend the exercises con? nected with laying the corner stone of tbe Graded School building. At night, President Craighead delivered a magnificent address in support of the proposition, "Whc would he greatest let him serve." Saturday morning was devoted mainly to the educational interests of the Church. The secretary read reports from the char? ges, and Rev. J. A. Rice, D. D., President of the Columbia Female College, address? ed the Conference on behalf of tbat insti? tution. This reporter has never heard a more able presentation, of the cause of woman's education. It was logical, force? ful, inspiring. All who heard the gifted young President felt that the College had entered upon a new era in her history. A tuition scholarship for one year w?s then endowed by the Conference. At the afternoon session Church Finan? ces was the subject under consideration. The speech of G. E. Prince was a great hit. It was universally regretted that bo many of the delegates had left the Con? ference and thereby failed to hear this speech. After the asnal resolution' of thanks for the hospitality shown to the Conference, the body adjourned to meet next year at Greers, in Greenvillo County. On Sunday tbe pulpits of the city Churches were filled by visiting members of the Conference. Favorable reports of all these services have reached us. Prof. Cbas. B.
