and devoted member of the Episcopal
! Church, and was one of the most active
in the small band Of ladies who founded
Grace Church in this City. Her remains
we're inferred in the Presbyterian Gene
terry in this City OH Tuesday morning,
after the burial service Of the Episcopal
Church was read by the Rev. T. f. Gads-
den in the Presbyterian Church, where a
large number of the relatives and friends
of the deceased gathered to pay this last
sad tribute to her memory.
Considerable excitement was occasioned
in the usually quiet town of Pendleton
by the finding Of the dead body of Mr.
Thos. Fredericks on one of the principal
streets of that town last Friday morning.
Coroner Nance was Immediately notified
Of the occurrence, and he went to Pend1e.
ton and held an inquest over the deceased.
After carefully examining the facts in re-
gard to the death, the jury of inquest rem
dered verdict that the deceased died
suddenly from apoplexy or heart disease.
From the testimony adduced, it seems
that Mr.. Fredericks, who was an inebriate,
had been in town the preceding day and
night, and had been drinking excessively.
He was seen ion the streets Of the town
Thursday night about IL o'clock, in an
intoxicated condition, and told some one
that he was going to friends house to
spend the night. He was found only a
short distance down the street from where
he was last seen alive. There were no
marks of violence on his person.
Mr.. Solomon M. Geer died at his resi-
dence, in Broadway Township, in this
County, on last Saturday morning, the
26th of September, from bleeding at the
tonsils, the result of an attack of pa
ralysis, with which he was attacked two
or three years ago. His physician, DR..
j. O. Wilhito, had foretold him OF the
danger which awaited him, and every
precaution possible had been resorted to
| in order to delay the fatal hour, and when
the bleeding began on Friday, Mr.. Geer
'recognized the fact that his end was at
hand, and conversed most quietly and
beautifully upon the subject. Mr.. Geer
was born February IL, 1923, and was
therefore in the sixty-third year of his
age. He Joined the Baptist Church in
Alabama, in 1s46, and at the time of his
death had served as a Deacon in the
Church for about thirty-ive years. Mr.
Geer was most excellent, exemplary
Christian gentleman. He was man Of
fine judgment, and W as successful in his
avocation of agriculture. He was q be-
nevolent citizen and most agreeable and
kind neighbor and friend. Mr. Geel
leaves wife and ten grown children with
many relatives and friends, who mourn
his death. On Sunday morning his re-
mains were inferred in the Bolton Gene
terry after an appropriate and solemn
funeral service, conducted by Rev. Charles
Manly, D. D., in the presence of an i'm
mense congregation

The Good Homo Concert.

Mr.. EDITOR: Dark Corner is on the
boom. But lately her people gathered to-
witness the closing exercises offone of
her flourishing schools under the admira--
BILE management Of Miss Ellie Reid.
Shortly afterwards there followed a SOL
diers' reunion, at which eloquence and
festivity added zest to the pleasures Of
that occasion; and last, but not least, the
Church Festival and Sacred Concert at
Good Hope on last Thursday afternoon
and night constitute another event mark
eddy that happy success which seems to.
characterize all festive occasions inaugu-
rated by the good people of this section.
The plan, as ready means of meeting
special want of the congregation in the
repair of their church building, was sug-
gestion of Miss Maggie Graham, the ac-
complished teacher at Deanyille, to whom
the pastor and congregation express Them
selves greatly indebted for her untiring
efforts to render the occasion what it real
ly was-a complete affair in itself.
For the success of the first feature, to-.
wit, the Festival, the ladies Of the com.
munity needed but hint: for from noon
to sundown they served dinner of meats,
oysters, coffee, breads and cakes which
deserved the compliment which the as
sembled crowd paid it by consuming
what they could and carrying home some
dozen or more elegantly dressed cakes
which were auctioned Off at fair prices by
Mr.. J. A. McAlister.
At 7.30 p. IN. the doors Of the church
building were thrown open, and it was a
delightful transition from the loaded ia
bles on the green to brilliantly illumi-
mated hall, at one end of which tempo
rary stage had been erected, well nigh
perfected in its arrangement. Professor
Willis had been chosen to conduct
the Concert, and the happy manner in
which each of the participants performed
his or her parts is itself a deserving tri-
butte to his merit as an instructor of mu-
sic. He was fortunate enough to secure
the support of Mrs. L. A. McSmith, Of
the Ludden d. Bates Music House at An
derson, who kindly consented to be pres
ent and rendered invaluable assistance.
The programme was made up Of the best
selections, made with due reference to the
nature of The occasion, and avoiding either
extreme of being too secular or too sacred,
afforded to the large and attentive crowd
{. most refined aud elevating entertain
ment in the way of solos, songs by the
entire class, character songs and recita-
tions. Several of the pieces brought
down the house, but thoro was scarcely q
single selection the rendition of which
does not deserve special mention.
1t is really to be regretted that occasions
like this, so full Of pleasure and so rcfin.
ing in their influences, at the same time
so worthy of patronage. arc not moro fro
quent in the County. Tho net proceeds
of the entire occasion amount to about
$4,000, which shows that our people
know how to appreciate good thing.

Tobacco Culture.
MAJORS, |

MAJORS, 8. c., Sept. IS, 1885.
Mr.. ED1ToR: I noticed in the INTEL.
L1aENcER recently something in regard
to tobacco culture. Since then have
heard some talk that will be Of interest to
those interested in tobacco culture. Mr..
A. NJ. Hamilton says he has one.afth of
an acre in tobacco, from which he has al
ready gathered and cured 200 pounds of
tobacco. This was his first cutting, and
he says his second crop will reach $50
pounds, making in all $50 pounds from
one.fifth Of an acre. He says his patch
will be worth $500. This would reach
$375.0O per acre, which beats cotton too
far to talk about.
Respectfully,
W. w. MARTIN.

An ANNOYED HEATHER.

ILLINOIS RAILRoADs.-Afterf full hearing
and careful consideration the Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners of Illinois have
decided not TO publish any reduction of
rates on the railroads of that State. They
find that the railroads bear their fair
share of the burden OF nard times and low
prices by the decreased tonnage and loss of
passenger traffic necessarily incident there
to, and that " this burden rests so heavily
upon them that they cannot stand a fur
ther reduction in rates, until the business
of transportation revives without lis being
reflected at once upon the employment
they give to labor that the larger por-
ton OF railway mileage in the State, though
most essential to the prosperity and con-
venience of the farmers generally, is at the
present time absolutely non-productiye, ;"
and that it has not been shown that any
general revision or reduction would he ben
eiicial to the business interests of the State
at present" The Commissioners further
report that of the fifty-two roads within
the State only nine paid dividends the past
year and excepting two or three coal roads,
"none of these could be self-sustaining on
the Illinois business alone"
