May God bless the people of Anderson. Through them we have partaken of that we never dreamed of ; wc met those we never expected to see again ; wc can not lind words to express- our gratitude to the gootl people of Ander son. As to Charleston we can only say she overdone the thing. And while we are loud in our praise for the City by the Sea, we regret that one of our number should return home and under rate the thing. Coing, as he did, on a complimentary ticket, free from any expense, lind he only eaten black mo lasses, bread and water, any old hero would have praised it. We will tell the people what we had and no truth ful Veteran will deny it. Here is the i)ill of fare : Roiled liam, boiled beef, beef hash, Irish potatoes, rice, loaf bread, corn bread, pickles, gootl cottee and sugar. Wc cat on a nice table, hail new dishes, new knives and forks, and think 1,440 men were served at once. Wo also had cots to sleep on. Gen. doe Wheeler inspected our lodging and pronounced it good ; in fact, he said in our presence that Charleston was ahead of all the reunions he had seen. Now, Mr. Editor, this is the truth, the whole truth and nothing td se. Long live the people of Anderson is thc wish of your humble servants. DOCK OWENS, AB. JOHNSON, JOHN BALDWIN, EWEL GAMBRELL, L.

'This is good weather for grumblers. AU winter it was too wet, and now it is too dry, so the grumblers are making good use of the time. They say if it don't rain soon the blackberry crop will be a failure, and that would be a calamity, as there will be very little other fruit. There has been ai good deal of sick ness in our community in the last two weeks. Mr. W. D. Garrison was quite ill for a few days, but we are glad to see he is up and about again. Mr. J. K. Garrison's baby is quite sick at this writing. Mr. A. K. Browne has had another severe attack but is better now, thanks to the skill of our good physician. Dr. Duckworth. Mr. Browne desires to return thanks to his neighbors for much kindness shown him du?*:,?g his sick ness.

Wc have been ploughing hard to-day and ave somewhat tired to-night ns we endeavor to give the readers of the dear old INTELLIGENCER a few thoughts from this locality. A good rain is much needed in these ??urta just now. The grain crop is sut uring very much, and so is upland corn-and, well, "old cotton" is coming out just the same, beiug thinned out to a stand. May the rains descend. Miss Olive McAwain, of Abbeville, who has been spending a few days in our midst with friends, returned to her home to-day. Miss Olive is a very beautiful and lovable young lady, and during her short stay made many friends here. J. B, Go88away returned to his home on lust Saturday evening from Spar tanburg, whero ho has just completed a course in bookkeeping in the Neel Hevcrlo Business College of that city. Brown says he is well pleased with the institution of business learning. Reid Wilson spent Saturday and Sunday with relatives nt Belton. Joe Hanks has recently purchased a new up-to-date Viking wheel. It was tho happy pleasure of this writer to attend the closing exercises of the Zarline School last Thursday night, and from the way the pupils ac quitted themselves goes to show that the teachers, Miss Leslie Branyon and Miss Cora Elgin, have well rendered their faithful services to the patrons of the school. Wc would like to make mention of all tho songs, recitations, dinlogues, charades, etc., but for tho wont of space we will not. Owing to the large crowd present everybody never got seated, nnd a goodly number failed to see or hear any of thc pro gramme. There was a certain crowd of worthless scamps who didn't do i anything but steal, for we missed a . good buggy whip and we heard of an other fellow losiug a new buggy ctish ion. The good book says, "thou shalt ? not steal," mit regardless of the Bible , or the laws of our State, there is a cer [ tain class of people that will continue " to do this which they know is wrong. ? After all of "Bill" Neal's rascality . and swindling the State, there are a fow little wide -mouth, ' long-tongue j fellows who nre upholding him. lt is . strange to us that they are doing so, 1 but we believe if ho hiiu "gobbled1' up tho whole business they would have no doubt said, "oh, ho hasn't done any a thing veiy bad."
