Salie Breazeale, wife of Mr. g. A. Rrea-
zealc, which orciisred at the residence OF
her husband in the town Of Abbeville on
Tuesday, the 3rd inst. Mrs. Breazeale was
o daughter OF the late Rev. William McGee
Of this County, and leaves many relatives
and friends in our midst who mourn her
untimcly death. She wns an excellent and
amiable lady, who made friends wherever
she went. On Wednesday her remains
were inferred, after appropriate funeral SER
vices, in the family buryirg ground near
the site Of the residence of her father in
this County. The services were largely at
tended by the relatives and friends of the
deceased, who feel the most sincere regret
for the dcath of one so dear to them.

eleventh anniversary Of Anderson Division
No. l, Sons of Temperance, was celebrated
by public meeting in the Court House ci.
Thursday evening last. At the appointed
hour the Division filed out of Temperance
Hall and marched in procession to the Court
House. where they found large audience
awaiting them. Aftcr music by the Pal
metto Band and prayer by Rev. j. +. Car
Isle, the Worthy Patriarch, Mr. Charles c..
Langston, introduced in short and appro.
priute speech Mr.. II. G. Scudday as the first
speaker for the occasion. After referring
to the reorganization of the Division after
the war, when the morals of the whole
country were more or less corrupt and in
Temperance was rife, and to the great sue
cesses that had attended the efforts of the
temperance workers, he discussed in an able
and instructive manner the subject Of true
human greatness Rev. w. II. Strickland
was next introduced. He entertained the
audience for nearly an hour in discussing
the objections generally entertained by the
public to organized opposition to intcmper-
ance. His speech was n very strong argu-
ment for the temperance workers, and was
interspcrscd with an apprcciable amount of
humor. He held the close attention of the
audience throughout his entire address, and
evidently made deep impression OH their
minds. At the close Of Mr.. Strickland's
speech, the meeting was closed by benedic-
ton by Mr.. Carlisle.

about nothing. Our crusade paragraph was
not Intended as "a slur to the ladies of two

home from recent visit to Greenvillc, and
had no notion that "ninety-ninc out of q
hundred readers would have read it with

III the paragraph
This is al near an apollo; as our contem-

his article was written inconsiderately and
without any foundation for what his imag-

the ladies Ought to forgive him, and we will
join tilcIn in doing so if he will not omit to
come to us rs an exchange when he replies
to us. and will in future give no further of
fonce by repeating such nonsenscal state
