LOCAL MEWS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. ll, 1899. Death of Ker. Dr. Adger. Kev. John B. Adger, D. D., a distin guished and weil known minister of the Presbyterian Church, died last Wednesday morning at his home at Pendleton, and. by his death one of the oldest and most prominent divines in South Carolina passes away. The Charleston flews and Courier, under date of the 5th inst., says : "Dr. Adger was 8S years of age and the greater part of his lite was spent, in active missionary and church work. Por more than twenty years he was a missionary at Smyrna, and left there in 1.855 on account of broken health. "Dr. Adger was a remarkable man and had a wide and varied experience before he finally retired, from his pul pit at Pendleton. Ho was born on De cember 2, 1810, and in early lite was married to Miss Elizabeth iv. Shrews bury, lt was soon after his marriage that ho went with his wife to .Smyrna and graphic stories came to this coun try of his work there. Not long after his return to this country, Dr. Adger desired to return to Smyrna, but the Northern American board, which had charge of the appointment of mission aries, refused to return him because Mrs. Adger owned a slave. This cre ated a considerable stir at the time. "In Charleston, Dr. Adger had tho mission on Anson street, between Cal houn and George streets, but his health was failing him and he retired. Later, he went to Pendleton and assumed the pastorate of the Presbyteria Church. Dr. Adger was also a professor in the Theological Seminary at Columbia be fore and after the war. Since the war he lived in Pendleton and gave his timo and his talents to his church and his flock. Mainly through his efforts and aid the old church was abandoned somo years ago anda new house of worship was erected. "Dr. Adger was among the few sur vivors of the older generation of the Adger family in Charleston, and he left many relatives in this city to mourn his death. "Dr. Adger's remains will be brought here from Pendleton to-night, and the funeral services will be held io-morrow morning at 10:80 o'clock, at tho Second Presbyterian Church." Belton Items. The holidays" passed off very quietly around Belton, there having been no accidents worthy of note, and people have gone about their usual business affairs with a spirit that would indi cate that the year of 1899 is destined to be a red letter year in their lives. May we all not forget our good resolutions we have made, but try to keep them to the very end! "Quite a number of visitors were here during the holidays and since. Wre note thc following: Mr. J. D. Coker, of Forman University; Mr. and Mrs. Z. McKinney, of Georgia; Miss Bessie McCullough, of Williamston ; Miss Irene Osborne, of Anderson, and many others. Bev. Mr. Tate filled his first appoint ant at-the Baptist Church on.the 1st Sunday, and preached most excellent sermons both morning and evening. Mr. B. W. Anderson's family, which has lived here for many years has moved to Pendleton. The family has a host of friends here who regret to have them leave. Rev. Mr. Dowell has moved to Co lumbia, where hes goes to take charge of two churches. All of the boya and girls who came home for the holidays have returned to their respective schools. Mr. Jas. W. Poore, one of our very best men, we are sorry to chronicle has been very ill for some time. He is, however, reported much better now, and we trust he will soon be out again. Mrs. Lizzie Majors, who resided 4 miles below here, died last Thursday, find was buried at Neal's Creek on Sat urday. She had been almost if not quite an invalid for some years, and death came as a great relief to what must have been intense suffering. Married, Dec. 27, 1898, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Brown, Mr. P. L. Thompson and Miss Nannie Brown, Rev. C. L. Stewart officiating. Mr. J. M. Mattison, who for some time has had rheumatism, is out again, but is quite feeble. Hon. A. C. Latimer has returned to Washington to attend his Congression al duties. XXXX. Asbury Items. Christmas has passed off very lively, and now we have all turned over a new leaf for another hard year. I never heard or saw tho like of mov ing. Mr. Dick Black and Miss Toy visited Mrs. Jackson Christmas. Mr. Johnuio Stevenson, from Lavo ma, Ga., visited friends in our burg Christmas. Mrs. Julia Webb, from Hopewell, visited Mr. S. C. George and family last week. Mr. W. D. Giles, from Townvi?le, S. C., made a Hying visit in our burg hist Sunday. Mr. Jim Gooden is very sick with pni'iuuo lin. Miss Lille Stevenson, of Townville, 8.

Trinity Innis. After a few days with the sore eyes we are again in the "ring." We promised to give the readers of your paper an account of iiow Christ mas went through these parts, but. as ! it is now nearly two weeks after Christmas we will just say we all had 1 the "jolliest of jolly times," We had a few extra dinners, and a party or soei ablo every night. Some of us went visiting, some had company, and PO here we went, but we have heard near- ( ly all the young people express them-j selves as having had the merriest time they ever did have on a Christmas. So you see we arc not dead up here by half. ! There were several visitors in our community Christmas week, but wc will not take time to name them all. | but will say that, they all were wel come, and hope they will not wait, until next Christmas to come again. Mr. Sumpter Finley, one of our most industrious and popular young men, is I no longer with us, but has gone down on the Midway side to attend to thc farm of his cousin. We wish Sumpter much success, and feel sure he will prove a good manager, for he is a farm- j er. I Mr. Clinkscales, the saw mill man, is in our community cutting up a few "slabs." He is an old hand at the bus iness, and knows his "biz." We had the pleasure of attending the singing school at Midway last week, and those gentlemen certainly know how to teach music. We think the winde class was well pleased with the work. The concert Saturday night was well arranged, and though the class had not been together but a week we think they saug splendid. The solo and duet which was sang by Misses Minnie Anderson, Julia Lewis and An nie Hall, was most charming, while the gentleman's solo was good, but, of course, not as good as the ladies'. If you want to know who gets sup pers on Sunday nights, when he goes calling, ask that boy who the young lady gave a buttered biscuit with "lass es" ou it. We did not get left but once, Mr. Ed itor, and that was during Christmas. So, of course, it did not kill us. With all the best wishes of much joy to everybody, we are the same OLD SCHOOL BOY. Denver Items. Mrs. Moorehead and son, from Flow ery Branch, Ga., have- been visiting friends and relatives in our commu nity. Mrs. L. 0. Hammond visited the family of Mr. J. W. Rothrock last week. The community of Sandy Springs is fortunate in securing as a teacher Miss Maggie Tribble they are showing their appreciation by sending a large num ber of scholars. She is a graduate of Winthrop College, and has taught successfully for the last four years. . Mrs. M. D. Mays, nee Blackman, died at her home near Townville on the 5th inst., with consumption. She leaves a husband and five small children to mourn her loss. From childhood she had been a faithful member ot the Methodist Church. Her remains were brought back to old Sandy Springs and iuterred. Our sympathy goes out to those who are so deeply bereaved. A little negro, the child of Tom Hamilton, was burned to death last week on Mr. R. W. Hammond's place. Its parents went off to piek cotton nearly a mile from the house leaving the child with another one about four years old in the house. When they caine in at noon they found the ehild burnt to death, and the older one in the yard crying. They supposed its clothing was ignited by a spark from the fireplace, near which it was lying. There was no preaching at Mount Zion Church last Sabbath, owing to the illness of the pastor, Rev. J. L. McLin. The congregation at Sandy Springs are much pleased with their new preacher, Rev, A. B. Watson. Mr. George IBIassingame, formerly of this County, but now of Howe, Texas, has been visiting friends in Denver. Some of our best farmers are talking of planting tobacco instead of all cot ton this year. INCOG. Pendleton Items. Dr. J. B. Adger, D. D., died of ca tarhal pneumonia, at 10 o'clock Tues day night, Jan. 3rd. His remains were camed to Charleston .Jan. 5th, to be buried in the family buryiug ground in that city. The remains were accompa nied by Mr. 0. A. Bowen and Mr. Adger Smythe. In the death of Dr. Adger thc Presbyterian Church loses one of its shining lights. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family. Mrs. Neal, Dr. Adger's daughter, has been quite sick, but is better. Mr?. Mc Lees, who was fora longtime om; (d' thu household at Dr. Adger's, has bien and is yet quite sick. Their sickness prevented them from attending tin- fu neral. Mr. W. II. Smith, who is located at Sandersville, Ga., as cotton buyer, bas been home on a visit lo his mother, Mrs. .1. 1). Smith. Mrs. J. W. Simpson and little son have returned from their visit to Spar tanburg. Mr. Anderson, who is now section foreman of tim Hine Kidgc Railroad, has moved his family here. Kev. J. F. Singleton, who is to sup ply thc l?aptist. Church as pastor for the ensuing year, was here to hold his regular service on Sunday, billowing to the unfinished condition ol' thc Church, bc failed to hold his service, ile was invited by thc Kev. l?. 1'. Reid to lecture to thc Presbyterian Sunday Scltotd, and he delivered a line lecture. Mr. Singleton is located at. Mr. J. II. Mounce's. We extend Mr Singleton a hearty welcome to our town. TELL TALE. Sews Fruin nhl Itwky Uiver, The merry Christin ts is over, but we. are not altogether over it yet. Yet we hail ti nice time, enjoyed ourselves the very best, mingling with the fine Rocky River girls and visiting hand some young ladies. Miss Bessie Cowan, one of Mohawk's brightest ?ind fairest and most prom ising young ladies, spent a few days in Christmas in this community. Come again, we arc always glad to have you among us, especially some certain ones. Mr. Hen Koe, one of the near-by mountain young gents, visited his brother. Mr. ll. M. Koe, of this section, in the merry Christmas times. Ile may return back to his home, but SOUK.' young 'udy will have his heart. Go ir, Kennie. Mr. anu-Mrs. Thomas Mali and little daughter, ol' the Antreville section, silent last Sunday with Mr. and .Mrs. Parker Alewiue, of this nourishing fair view. How strange, how sat! and how dis gusting above all it is to have deceit ful people in your neighborhood. Some people can go to town and buy Some old rotten, good-for-nothing whiskey and come home anti cause hard feelings in your family and insult stningers, ?iud. above all, go to church with a book under their Jinn and be as good tis Christ's disciples in their way. There are a great many people changing homes in this section this week, some for the better and some for the worse-wt; suppose. We should bc proud of our lives, no matter where we make our homes, but the most of us are grasping for the cents in the fu ture, and are not studying about our lives. Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Moore spent a few days last week with relatives in tho Xation, and returned on Sunday evening. By tile way. two of our old bachelors went to thc little village of Abbeville a few days before Christmas, and they met up with a negro who lives near them, and the negro not having any too much wit, the}' decided they would treat him by carrying him into a res taurant and giving him all he could eat. When he was through the bill was only fifty cents, and next to the dispensary, and the same as above. By that time he had more than would stay with him, and the police came to Iiis side. The boys thought that would be too bad, and so they paid his bill-all amounting to two dollars and no fun. ! Say, boys, I wonder if you will want to treat a foolish negro again? The most of the poor farmers are still expecting to sow a great quantity of oats yet. Let the good work go on. DITTO. Dew herr) 's Observations. Once again, Mr. Editor, we come be fore you to give thc many readers of the dear old INTELLIGENCER a few of the incidents and happenings of our rambles. On hist Wednesday afternoon we had the good luck to witness a pretty church wedding. On that day Mr. Robert. Griffin led to the altar, to be united in hymen's bonds, M?ss Madge Wardlaw, eldest daughter of Mr. Brown Wardlaw, of near Dorchester. Long before, the appian ted hour ar rived, the Church was tilled with the relatives and friends of the happy cou ple. The Church was beautifully and tastefully decorated with Flora's rarest productions. When the party reached the Church there was a large crowd as sembled to witness the nuptials. Mrs. Annie Acker rendered a beautiful march on the organ as the party enter ed the building. The attendants came first and formed a semi-circle around j the lovely areli that loviug hands had erected for the occasion. Then came the happy pair, and taking their place under the arch. As the last strains of j the music died away, Rev. W. B. Haw kins advanced and in an impressive ! and solemn manner pronounced them ' husbaud and wife. The attendants were in the following order: Mr. J. A. Dillingham and wife. Mr. A. T. Newel and Miss Lena Campbell, Mr. Clarence Rice and Miss Pawnee Sutherland, Mr. Fred Griffin and Miss Lola Wardlaw. Messrs. Lige Griffin and Charley Poore acted as ushers. After the ceremony the party repaired to Belton to see the departure of the happy couple. The groom is a successful business man of Lockhart, while the bride is one of the ; most lovable young ladies of this sec tion. They leave a host of friends who wish them all the happiness attain able in this world. We spent part, of the holidays at our old home at Piercetown. Last Thurs day evening we had the pleasure of at tending a most enjoyable sociable at the residence of Mr. Charlie Webb. Mr. Webb and his charming daughter I certainly know how to make wc bash ful boys have a good tillie. There were only a few selected friends invi ted, and we certainly enjoyed our selves. 1'he rain prevented many from at tending thc lecture at Cross Hoads Sat urday evening, but in spite of thc weather tho house was about tilled. Ky the way, we liked lo have, ruined .mr Sunday shoes over the muddy road, but. we don't care ti cent if wc did. What is tiny more pleasant than having 01.f Even fairest daughters by your side and conversing in her sweetest tom s? "Oh, shoo fly!" All day long wc have been pulling Cupid's dans out ?d' our heart, and we are not half through yet, but we hope ere another day has passed we will have 'hem all eradicated. Wishing all a happy New Year. SAM DE WHERRY. A:; ACCKI'TAIILK ?UlllI>TMAH I'KESKNT Foll UNK IJOLLAIt.

Old Stone Churchyard. ?Jdilors intelligencer: While looking over this cemetery it carries one hack into the earliest, days of the history of this section of tho State. Among the dead here are natives of London, Eng land, Ireland, France, Germany, Scot land, Belgium and Sweden. These were no doubt the pioneers, while mingled among them arc thc names and recollections of thc heroes of the Indian, Revolutionary, Mexican. Flor ida and civil wars, and representatives of a great, number, 1' not all. of the dcnominatioi.s ol* churches. The pri vate soldier up to the greatest generals, patriots great and small. r<-si here. Thc ancestral pride ol' many ol'Sont h Carolina's noted 'families are herc. Yet. when it comes down to tangible business in the way ol* contributions toward this cemetery fence, it is a burning shanie to know that we are to-day getting as much money from Georgia as we are gelling from South Carolina. There arc many whose ancestors, near and far back, liebere that have not yet given anything, while an ex inayor of Charleston, S. C., who has no personal interest there, has contrib uted ten dollars. This is of a type of patriotism that does not fadeout with age; this kind of patriotism is of the strongest, type and will not degenerate like we fear has been thc case of many of the descendants of heroes who to day sleep in this historic cemetery at the Old Stone Church. A poor widow, who has a very hard struggle for her daily bread, is now anxious to get up just one dollar to put into the fence that is to preserve the sacred spot where her luisband sleep?, who died in the army defending his country, while several wealthy men who have made money to loan by the thousands (under the protection of the laws that this man died to defend) are. not contributing one dime toward this patriotic enterprise. These heroes and patriots have struggled years, fought days and nights defending and reclaiming and pre serving our common country. They have made the laws, defended them, civilized and settled our country for us. We are now enjoying the benefits of their hard struggles and arc living to-day in perhaps the most progressive part of our whole country. Are we thankful for these privileges and bless ings? If so, write it down around their graves with an iron fence. J. C. STRIBLINO. Send in contributions for the fence to Kev. B. P. Reid, Pendleton, S. C. Railroad Sews.
