Thc "Bachelor Maids Concert," to be give n in the school hall uext_Friday e vening, promises a very interesting program indeed. The name would imply that thc participants in the en tertainment were old maids and old bachelors, but as a matter of fact they nie not. Wc have no such here, and it is nil local talent, but come and just see bow well they can play like they were superanuated young ladies and gentlemen, and hear some good reasons given why they have not married. Mrs. J. M. Mattisou and daughters, Misses Essie and Bessie, of Westminis ter, are \ isiting friends and relatives -here. Hr. John McCuen and sister spent Sunday with their parents at Princeton.

Ncesom kindly examined and prescribed for the suffering ?log, but frankly acknowledged that he had not i?ude a study of canine diseases, like lie had those of tho horse, cow and hog. It is a pity we have noone in the County, as far us we know, who has made a thorough study of canine dis eases. Many persons wno own valuable dogs would be willing to paya hand some fee to have them cured when sick. These free clinics at Clemson every Monday afternoon ure largely attended by persons in the County who have sick animals they wish to have treat ed. I'rof. Ncesom, who is a genial and accommodating gentleman, as well ns au expert Vetcnarian, takes pleas ure in treating tho animals before his classes, thus imparting knowledge, and curing ?liseuses at the same time. His Veterinary Department is well equipped for surgical operations, which he often has to perform. Mrs. Wm. Erwiu, of Centerville, has recently received the sad news of the death of her father, Mr. Davis, of Ire land. Has was 05 years old, and, strange to tell, in all his long life had never felt th?' pains of sickness. Ile retained until the last complete pos session of his faculties. He said tho night before he died, "this is the last night I will bo with you," although ho was not sick.

How aro you and the type standing it to-davT oh, Km nice, and the type seem to be jumping voluntarily into socket. How are the people of your town? Oh, wo are well and jubilant; aro actually gaining some lost time, although tho ground is so tough that it makes n mule grunt to pull up a clod. Wo were glad to notice, in last week's issue, a call for a Prohibition conference. We hopo every prohibi tionist in the State will rise to his or her duty, and leave no stone unturned ia their effort to place prohibition tri umphantly predominant during the coming campaign. We have had the Dispensary a number of years, and seo onlyfovil that has resulted from the present course. The happiness of ninny homes has been blighted forever by tho influence of this detestable in stitution. The old time barroom will not do. so ictV. have prohibition ring from every press and pulpit. You may say, there are some wno will have whiskey even at the risk of their lives: true, but the great mass of boys could not, if prohibition ruled, get enough every Saturday afternoon with which to spoil themselves during Sunday. Furthermore, a strict prohibition rule would intimidate many of the con firmed drunkards. However, it is not these old vipers that we wish to turn. Tho devil, himself, could not frighten tin m back, lt is only tho young that wo wish to place in new ruts. Twenty yearsCof strict prohibition would so change the minds of tho people thnt no ono would dare think of permitting in toxicants, on any plan, to be sold. Mr. Maxie Hobson has been quite ill during the past week, but we are glad to know that ho is convalescent. Mr. Augustus McPhail and Miss Mary Stevenson were married, by Rev. J. F. Singleton of Pendleton, on last Wednesday evening. The young couple have our best wishes. Lewis Hicks, colored, died last Mon day of pneumonia. Alavada Darby, daughter of Mr. G. W.

According to thc arrangements of tho Saluda Association at its last conven ing to have an "Kdi cat ional Hally," Li banon was one of the. places chosen, and the tittil Sunday as ?h.. time. At thc appointed hour there was a large congregation present. Dr. H. H. Moore, of Greenville, was first introduced by the pastor, Kev. J. F. Singleton, lt was certainly an inspiration to our people, and those who failed to hear him missed a mental treat. Many of our voling people were greatly encour aged to strive harder for an education. Many of his old students were delighted to see him again. Next oil th?' pro gram was Mr. H. H. Martin, un ener getic young lawyer ol' Anderson, who delivered a short but appropriate speech in which he urged parents to semi their sons where tiley will have good moral training ila well as mental, and stated that Purumu University was as good, it' not a better place, than could be found in the State. One hour wa? then given to refresh ourselves and to look after thc inner man. The time was spent pleasantly with both old and young. Mr. J. M. Padget, another young lawyer of Anderson, and a former student ?d' Furiuaii, was lin; next speaker, lt is needless for me to comment on his or any ol' the others. All who heard him feel that there are bright prospects in the future for him. The last speaker was Kev. \V. T. Tate, of Williainslon. I lis speech wus full of humor ami good wholesome advice, bringing forth needs and advautiw;es ol' an education. Th?' meeting "was adjourned by Hi v. W. H. Hawkins. A?I fell that they had spent a pleasant anil prolitaldt- ?lay. .Miss Annie Norris, who has been visiting her friend, Miss Birdie Due worth. r?'ttired to her home in Orange burg last weil;. Miss Norriss is a lovable, accomplished young lady, and made many fiu-mls her?' who regretted 10 s? ?- lu i leave and will look forward to her return with pleasure. Miss (nissie Welburn, who is teach inga! Mount Tabor, spent Saturday night at her home. Among iii?; many visitors at Lebanon wc noticed Mr. II. F. Mauldin and .lu?lg?" Nan?'?', ot Anderson, and many others w hose names I du not now re tail. The friends of Kev. W. B. Hawkins were glad tos?'?- him and Mrs. Haw kins. They arc always welcome, visi tors. The many friends of Mr. C. A. Wei born are sorry to hear of his sickness but are glad to hear that he is improv ing and trust that he will soon no re stored to good health. The lumber is being laid down to build a new and commodious school house here. It is hoped to bo ready for thc fall term. The school at this place closes on tho 11 th inst.

Ono week of hard, honest labor has been done. Mrs. Thoo. Mitchell had the misfor tune to get seriously hurt a few day s a go, by a horse running away with her and throwing her out of tho buggy. We are glad to say that she is slowly im proving. Casar's ghost! How I did feel when upon unfolding the INTELLIGENCER last week tho first thing that attracted our attention was the lengthy epistle of that learned grammarian or Antun, S. C., written in reply to our articlo of two weeks ago. Afany thanks for the laudatory remarks mndo concerning our grain crop. Sorry indeed aro we that wc have offended the loving wife of our friend. "Beg pardon, me dear," thought ye were a young dude instead of old time doodle digger. Glad arc wo that wo did not hear tho music made upon his harp of a thousand, for we aro told that it resembled very much thc squeaking of so many frogs. We have ot ten heard it said that you couldn'tgctblood fromnturnip, but this "mimic limitation) tick" lins hold of the car ot "wild .iog," and seems to bo drawing very strongly on his vocabu lary or cranium, we cannot detect which it is. Oh! how glad we would have been to have seen nim forty yeors ago when he had such winsome ways. As for the operatives of the cotton mill at Autun wo have nothing to say. It is for people to judge wno live nenr enough to enter into their homes and see their every day life whether they are well treated or temperate, both in drink and habit. Say. "Bob," tell us where to find "honothesis," did you not mean "hypothesist" He seems to be afraid that our ticking will be heard in tho uttermost parts, but we doubt if we can bo heard, for the grunting and snoring; of a "wild hog"will drown us out. We will notice nothing more from your pen, so good day, sir. W. C. BARNETT. Attention, Prohibitionists.

Why "Mastic" is tile Best! We claim that. . .

Jt is honMtiy made: tho samo to-day, to sorrow au? au timo. It is absolutely pure, and contains no whiting, chalk, barytes or other adult?rant. It dries with a beau tiful gloss finish, not possible to obtain with hand-made paints. It has great er covering capacity than any paint on the market It has been tried and tested for twenty years. It is not an experiment, but is the leading paint wherever sold. In support of the above statements, wo beg to call attention to the anal ysis and our guarantee. One of the strongest points in favor of Mastic Paint is tho fact that the United States Government is using it on the forts and posts in Texas and the Mexican frontier, in a climate the most trying of any in the country on paints, READ THIS ?
