INTELLIGENCER.
LOCAL MATTERS.
BRIEF MENTION.

Mr.. Samael M. Crayton and family
left last week for Florida on visit to
relatives there. They will remain In the
land Of flowers for several months.
See the advertisement of Messrs. Will
son d Reed, which appears in another
column. They want those who who
have received credit from them to come
forward and make payment of their
debts They are also agents for ZelPs
Phosphate, and have limited amount of
the celebrated Cheatham cotton seed for
sale. Give them call.
The Union Meeting of the churches of
the Third Union District of the Saluda
Baptist Association meets in Anderson
on next Friday and will continue in ses-
sion until the following Sunday. The
exercises will doubtless be of an interest
ing nature, and we hope the citizens OF
the village will, as far as they may be
able, attend the meeting.
On last Thursday night the colored
Baptist Church at this place was entered
by unknown parties, and the lamps be-
longing to the pulpit and chandelier
taken out and broken against tree.
The VILLAINS who committed this outrage
ought to b's severely punished, for it was
evidently prompted by deliberate malice,
without even the poor extenuation OF
personal gain.
fFA
A number of citizens of broadway
Township held preliminary political
meeting at Smiths School-house on last
Saturday afternoon. Mr.. NJ. E. Mitchell
was elected Chairman, and an address
was had from Mr.. E. B. Murray on the
subject of organization. The meeting
decided unanimously to join the Demo-
cratic Club to be formed at Meals Creek
on-next Saturday. Much enthusiasm
was eyinced by those present.
We regret to announce the death of
Mrs. Warren D. Wilkes, which occurred
at the residence of her husband, near Bel
ton, after short illness, on last Saturday
morning. The funeral services were
conducted on last Sabbath by Rev. W..P.
Martin, and were attended by large
concourse of people who were present TO
pay the last tribute of earth to the depart
ed one. Her remains were inferred in
the family burying ground near Calhoun.
The change in the advertisement of
Messrs.' Biecl,ley,. Brown d Co. arrived
too late for insertion this week. They
want all the money that is due them, and
give fair warning that somebody "win
be sued the first thing they know"
They also announce that the price of the
Wando Fertilizer has been reduced this
year, and that they will sell no other fer
tihzor, as they believe it is as good or
better than any other Fertilizer in the
world. Call on. them for specially favor
able terms.
Mr.. C. A. Reeds advertisement arrived
too late for insertion this week. 1T an
nounces that he is now selling his stock
ofgoods at reduced prices, and soma lines
of goods at cost. He urges immediate
settlement of amounts due him. E[e also
proposes to furnish the farming commu-
nifty with first class Fertilizers on favor
able terms, and can also supply them
with the justly celebrated Cheatharn cot
ton seed. he asks the favor of call
from the public wishing any articles in
his line.
We regret to announce the death Of
Mrs. Floride B. Darracott, which oc-
Cured at the residence of her daughter,
Mrs. Z. o. Hammond, near Bolton, on
last Sunday night. Mrs. Darracott was
one of the oldest ladies in our County,
being in the eighty first year of her age.
Her remains were inferred in the Pres
byterian church-yard on Tuesday last,
the funeral exercises having been per-
formed by Rev. w. w. Mood in the
Methodist church, Of which the deceased
was member.
Mr.. B.. F. Crayton has removed to his
plantation, some three miles from An
derson. His elegant and commodious
residence now in process of erection out
there will very soon be completed, and
will add greatly 20 the convenience and
appearance of his place, which is noted
for being one of the best improved and
most desirable farms near Anderson.
We regret to lose Mr.. Crayton and his
family as citizens of our town, though he
has not entirely deserted US, for he con-
tinues in business here and will spend
his days in town.
We arc glad to learn that the Anderson
Brass Band is to be re-organized at an
early day, and will be composed Of COM
petent and experienced musicians. 1t
will add much to the pleasure of those
who love music in our midst for the new
band to favor the town with an OCCASION
al serenade. Its organization is now
completed, and the arrival of bass horn,
which has been sent for, is the only thing
necessary to enable them to play. A
Band will be very great addition in the
campaign this summer, and no doubt its
services will be called into requisition
on various occasions. We wish the new
Band much success.
The residence of Mrs. Matilda Anderson,
ON the Pendleton road near the mile post,
was entered during her absence on Saturday
last, and there was every indication that
thorough search had been made, as the bu-
reau drawers and chests were ransacked,
while the contents were scattered in every
direction. Money was clearly the object, as
no article of clothing or furniture was miss
ing. A gentleman rode up to the house just
as Mrs. Anderson returned home, and while
she was entering the house he saw some one
retreating rapidly into the woods in the rear
of the building. No clue has been obtained
as to the perpetrator Of this attempted rob-
berry.
