The occasion was quite a success, and at? tracted quite a orowd of spectators. About $19 was realized, and will go into tbe Con? federate Memorial treasury. Of course, all tbe babies were pretty and sweet, and it is a pity that all of them could nut have been awarded prizes. The prizes, however, were awarded to the following by a vote of the spectators: Heaviest baby, Sylvester Fret well ; smallest baby, Bessie Orr Sloan; prettiest baby, Percy Cray ton; prettiest decorated carriage, Floride Harris. Tbe prizes were delivered by Mayor Tolly and Capt.T.F. Hillin their nsual happy style Mrs. Selms, Earle McGregor, wife of Mr. W. T.

In every sense Bbe was a most excellent woman, and by her many beautifnl traits of character made a friend of every acquaintance.

May He who doetb all things for the best com fort and console the loved ones who are left to cherish her memory, The Columbia Evening Sews of the 14th says: " Mr. W. T. Mlxson, Columbia's speedy bicycle rider, returned from Green? wood yesterday where he went to partici pate in the bicycle races on the 11th and 12th. He is in pretty bad shape, having ridden in two races and received a severe fall in each. He says tbe falls were due to tbe bad condition of the track, which is in the shape of a triangle and the curves very sharp with little banking. Fred. Maxwell, who also ridea a ''Peerless" bicycle, won the greatest share of the prizes and proved ?"himself to be a crackajack by beating uonnerat, of 8avannab, tbe man who holds the Southern mile record of 210 3-5, and Schade, of Washington, who gave George Adams such a close race in the Southern ohampionshlp race at Charlotte, and beat him in the mile open a few min? utes later. The races in which both Max? well and Schade entered were certainly the most interesting and hotly contested, the winner heating in each event only by inches. The result was that Maxwell won the best three out of five over Schade, but in the last Sehnde received a fall, although it is thought that the result could hardly have been otherwise as Maxwell was the fresher of the two." Tbe "Standard" Delineator for October comes from the press with additional at? tractiveness. It is impossible to bestow adequate praise upon the colored plates whioh are found at the opening of the magazine; they are gems of style and fin? ish, and tbe colored millinery plate is of equal merit. As for tbe body of tbe peri? odical, it is filled to overflowing with good things, which will delight the heart of the housewife and of other women as well. First of all there are over forty new designs for bouse, stre?t and evening gowns, new style jackets and sleeves and fancy collar et tea of tbe prettiest possible description, for Indies, young girls and children. Fol? lowing these articles on new styles in mil? linery and in the little accessories which add so much to the toilet. Prominent among these latter subjects are "Lingerie," " Bridal Costumes" and " Collars and Vests." A helpful discussion of the "Dress and Duties of Servants" is nicely illustrated, and in "Fancy Work" some beautiful models fordrawn work are shown and full directions for making them are given. For the children there is a charm? ing fairy-tale and an illustrated article on Japanese little people. In conclusion there areBtories, book reviews, essays on "Hyp? notism," "Thoroughness," "Cookery," (including tried receipes), etc. All in all, j this is certainly an Ideal ladies' magazine, Sons of Veterans. Jo pursuance to the call published in tbe County papers, a meeting was held in tbe Court House last Monday to organize a Camp of Sons of Confederate Veterans. J. C. Watkins was called to tbe Cbair and C. C. Langston requested to act as Sscre tary. At the request of tbe Chairman, Gen. M. L. B'>nbam, in bis usual eloquent and happy style, explained tbe objects of tbe organization, what it would accomplish and urged all tbe sons of tbe veterans of tbe ' 'Lost Cause" to become members. He also read a letter from Mr. Robert A. Smythe, of Charleston, who organized the first Camp in South Carolina, in reference to tbe work. After some remarks from several other gentlemen, Gen.

The constant hum of the gin wears off the monotony of the dull times. W. R. Mattison and R P. Jameson are the champion Bweet potato growers. They grow the "Nan-Semond" variety, which is as far ahead of the Yellow Yam as tbe Yam is ahead of the old Florida potato. M. A. Kay bas been utilizing J. C. Agnew's hay press while he was not using it. He put up about 25 bales of beautiful peavine hay. Joe Harpor, formerly of Honea Path but now of Greenville, came down Sab? bath and returned yesterday.

The town is full of 'em; buyers are wanted now. Mr. Shearod Latimer and Dr. Dickson spent Sabbatb down in the "Nation." A nice box of apples was sent to tbe writer by them for which we return tbauks to tbe donor. Mrs. Ellen Latimer, who met with such a serious accident two weeks ago, im? proves very slowly. Mrs. Sallie Shirley has been quite sick for tbe last few days. Misses Blanch and Mildred Cox left yesterday for Laurens, where they will attend the Graded School. ? Miss Zula Brock, of Due West, is visit? ing relatives in town. We haven't quite located all the school girls yet. We see some of them occa? sionally and enquire if tbey are visitors, when somebody calls out "school gals." Our new County delegates all returned from Columbia after tbe formation of Saluda County. Their services will not be needed uutil tbe Legislature meets. We are still detormined, and expect to press our claims until the very last or succeed. J. B. Armstrong, who has been with J. R. Callabam it Co. for a number of years, will establish himself in the jewelry business at W. A. Shirley's furniture store.

The attendance was good throughout the meeting and much good was accomplish? ed, Mr. J. T. Morgan will go into the mer? chandise business this fall. Part of the lumber for building is now on the site, and we understand that work will begin in a few days. Wo would suggest that the Lowndea ville writers let up on Mr. Ross Price, a little piece, anyhow, and to the readers of the Intelligencer we will say that Mr. Ross Price is a resident of Lowndesville. Mr. W. T. Banister, of Pay Up, Ga., was around here last week. It was very important business this time and he is expected again b4 long. Mr. C. L. Every returned last week from Pelzer, where he has been several weeks. He says he will leave again to? morrow for Elberton or Harmony Grove, Ga. He has not decided which place he will locate at. Oar sick ?bt has increased during the last week, but we are glad to say that none of them are seriously ill as yet. We oan understand how one man firing a joke at another about bis horse will receive a sharp answer and one word bring on another until they get red In tbe face and hot in the collar and have to be separated by friends to prevent blows, blood-sheding and perhaps loss of life; and we can understand why and bow that gentlemen is willing and ready to bet a hamper basket full of gold that "that fellow is only flirting with that young lady." We repeat it, we Gan understand all these things, but we can't understand the motive of some people who are telling such willful and abominable lies, and tbey are not taking a few facts or truths to begin with, but tbey begin with a lie and end with the same, with not a word of truth in it, and their object is not fun or fame or wonder, because they pervert everything they touch by exaggeration? that is, by addition, subtraction, multipli? cation and division, and if they hear any? thing they color it and tell it all out of shape. And if they see it with their own eyes they will tell you of a scene or an aotion in such a form that truth would never recognize it. Tbey seem to hate the truth, and their only delight is to get things out of shape. It was just such characters as these whom Dr. Lofton said would find their final homo, deep down in the hottest hell where the foulest devils dwell. Mr. S. A. Morgan had a little "blow up" at bis saw mill last week that stopped bu8lne8B for a few days.

Thompson Williams and Jake Heaton, two handsome young men from Air Line, Ga., worshiped here last Sun? day. We are told that another dwelling will go up here some time soon. The lumber is nearly all on the ground and we sup? pose the work will begin at once. The farmers are all busy now with their fodder, (some are not done pulling,) cane and cotton, and they all report a line crop of potatoes. However, we believe Mr. Pruitt takes tbe lead on potatoes. He don't v. ant to say that the ground is full and running over with them, but tbey are coming and L.?>~is glad of it. 8aves digging them up. xlis neighbors will all want seed or slips next spring. ?v V Card of Thanks.

A young friend who is very fond of vegetables slung this at us Sunday: "Heilo, Ned ! Don't we read somewhere in a book something about love leveling ranks?'' We told him that we thought we had read something like "love levels all ranks" somewhere but didn't call to mind just where he would find it, where? upon he remarked: "Well, it's a'.lie, I don't care where it is. I've tried it, and I don't believe that there's a man living who can love an onion well enough to level its rank." Be sure and attend tbe public debate at Mt. Airy Saturday night. All the pretty girls in the settlement will bo there. Ned Needle. Newell, S. C, Sept. 10. Holland's Store Items. It is with the profoundest Borrow that we learn of tbe death of Mrs. Sei ma McGregor, of Anderson, S. C, which occurred last week. Mrs. McGregor was the second daughter of Maj. E. J. Earle, of this vicinity, and was a most excel? lent woman of both head and heart. We have known her from childhood, and feel that we would be recreant to our duty did we not express our respect and drop a few feeble thoughts to her memory. In her girlhood she embraced Christianity and joined tbe Church at Shilob, and by her meek and Christ-like demeanor ever afterward exemplified her Savior. In the bloom of womanhood she was united in marriage to Mr. W. T. McGregor and proved a worthy helpmeet until her maker saw fit to call her home. Among tbe many strange workings of provi? dence, we have thought the strangest of | them aU is why should the young wife and mother, just starting on life's voy? age, to be called from her sphere of duty here in training her children for the life to come, and giving words of counsel to those daily in contact with her here. 'But every cloud has a silver linins " Behind a frowning providence our Sa? viour hides a smiling face. We see through a glass darkly now, but tbe time will come when we shall see face to face and know as we aro known. To the bereaved husband and six little children, the aged father, brothers and sisters, we tender our deepest sympathy. If we who are left behind bnt emulate her vir? tues we will some sweet day strike hands with her in that city, whose builder and maker is Cod. The funeral was conduct? ed at Mountain Creek Church by Rev. M. McGee, who a few years before offi? ciated at her baptism and her marriage. Gently the passing spirit fled, Sustained by grace divine; Ob, may such grace on us be shed, And make our end like thine. Joyful, with all tbe strength I have My quivering lips should sing, Where is thy boasted victory grave, And where oh death thy sting ? Mrs. Polly Hewin died at the residence of her son, Mr. J. M. Hewin, on the 11th inst., from the infirmities incidental to old age. According to her own statement she was 98 years old. Her remains were interred at Cross Roads Cemetery the following day. Wo are not all well. Borke. Townville Locals. We are looking forward with food anti clpatlon to our new county with tbe court bouse at Townville. Mr. J. 0. Speares, of this place, is build? ing a nice addition to his dwelling. That's right; we like to see nice houses and nice yards with everything clean about a town. I Mr. S. E.

He says Mr. John Eskew aent him after rations just before the re? treat, and when he came back the Regi? ment was ready to move and that left him behind. Mr. James Holcorabe, of near this place, has a very sick obild. We took Mrs. Rosin De Bow and the little Rosin De Bows and went through Mr. J. W. Shirley's canning factory the other day. Mr. Shirley, tells us he can turn out 1,000 cans per day. And be only works ten hands, We went and looked over his tomato field and was both sur? prised and pleased to see suoh a large field of tomatoes, and tbe tomatoes so large and fine. We pluoked two which weighed three pounds. Mr. Shirley will have no trouble to dispose of such fine fruit as that. Mr. S. E. Gilbert, of near this place, is in very poor health at this time. He is an old veteran, and was a brave one. too; and he is in very poor circumstances and tbe good people should see that he doss nob suffer. The Teachers' Institute of Oconee County will meet af. Townville on the 28th of Sep? tember, and a large attendance is very de? sirable. Col. Robt Thompson, of Wal balls, and others are exp:cted to address the body. Oakdale durch has called Rev. J. F. SiDgleton to preach for them next year. It indeed made us sad to learn that Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Kay, of near Belton, had lost their little girl, Mary Kay. She was as bright and lovable a little girl as we ever saw. We know how to sympathize with the pirents, for we have lost a sweet child.
