He had been in feeble health for nevera! months, but wa? confined *o Iiis bed only a ??hort time. Thc announcement ol' his death, there lore, was no shook to his friends and relatives, many of whom were expect ing it <ivery day for the past few weeks. He bore, in's illness with that patience characteristic of si true Chris tinu mid was fully prepared to meei the summons. j The funeral services were lulu at j the Townville Maptist Church <>n Thursday, and were conducted by Iiis pastor, Kev. K. .J. Williams, in tho presence of a large congregation of sorrowing friends and relatives. Al tile conclusion of (he services the re mains were laid to rest in the Church yard, the lmdy being horne to the grave by Messrs. J. N. Vandiver, J. L. Tribhle, V. (i. Brown, .1. V. Ledhetter, W. K. Sharpe, .John \). and Vandiver Sharpe, all ?d' whom, except the first named, were his nephews anil grand nephews. He was one of the main stays of this church since its organiza tion and for many years its clerk. Capt. Vandiver was a son ol' Kev. Sanford Vandiver, one ot' the best known and most highly esteemed Bap tist ministers in this section in hi? day He was horn near this city on January 1. 1823, and on his father's side he was of French extraction. His ancestors came to this State from Virginia. His mother was a Miss Susan Acker, who was a native of Anderson County. He grew up on the farm and attended the county schools. At the age of 10 he was a pupil for a year or more ofthat celebrated pedagogue, Wesley I.cv erett, but on account nf feeble heal I h was forced !<> give up his studies. His fat lier moved to the fmk and settled m ar Townville in IS:;.",. Jn I Capt. Vandiver went to Mis sissippi, where he taught school one year, but his health again failing ho gave up teaching and caine buck ta his native County, where he engaged in merchandising until the breaking out of tho war. He was among tho inst to respond to the call of his State and en listed in Co. D, Orr's Killen, being ap pointed regimental commissary. He served this County in 1858-50 in thc Legislature, and while witii his command in Virginia in 1802 he was again elected a Kepresentntive. After tho surrender he came back home nud went to work on his farm, where success crowned his eliorts. In 1874 he was again elected to the Legisla ture, where ho ably and faithfully ser ved this County for eight years in succession, being a member of the historic Wallace House that ended carpet-bag rule in South Carolina in 1870. In 1888 he was again selected as one of our Representatives. He was a man of strong convictions, unyield ing in his opinions, which were slowly formed, a warm friend and ?v generous and chivalric opponent, and Anderson County was never represented in tho General Assembly by a more faithful, conscientious man. Capt. Vandiver was well known throughout upper Carolina nnd made a frien? ot every acquaintance. He possessed a most genial, clever dis position, and never turned a deaf ear to a worthy appeal of charity. In all the relations of life ho discharged his duties moat nobly,' and in Iiis ;dcath Anderson County loses a valuablo citi zen, whose memory will long bo cher ished by his numerous friends, who know that he is now at rest with tho Saviour whom he served so faithfully ?

They are now in the par soiuige, which, thanks to the zeal and energy of tim ladies of the Parsonage Aid Society, has been completely trans formed, and is now very cozy.

Kirkpatrick ami Mr. J. T. Latimcr visited Mr. dim Clink' scales at Monterey, Sunday. While the railroad bridge-gang was at work on the trestles hero last week one of the men, Leverett, who had been a consumptive for several months, became violently ill, and was sent down the road Sunday morning. On Monday evening the gang foreman, Mr. McKinley, received a telegram stating that Leverett was dead. Mr. Sam. Parnell, a son of Mr. Jink Par nell, joined tho force and is now fill ing tho dead man's place. At the present, Monday afternoon, tho current subject of talk among the few idlers on tho street is tho report that comes from Latimcr, only seven miles below here, that there is a well developed case of smallpox near the depot. The patient is said to be a no j gro from Anderson, and rumor says I that a doctor from Columbia has ex amined him and pronounced it a gen uine case of smallpox, but in a mild form. If this is trno it is probable that it will reach Lowndesville, as sev eral members of the railroad section gang say that they have been to see the patient since tho beginning of his illness, out of sheer curiosity to see how a smallpox victim appears. Num bers of others have been so foolhardy as to do tho same thing. There are all kinds of wil? rumors afloat, but par ticulars fouuded on facts aro bard to get. Most of oui* people not already vaccinated were vaccinated last year, and these are now congratulating themselves and getting much comfort out of the fact that they are practical ly immunes.
