The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1886-11-25

The telegraph line on tho Savannah
Valley Railroad has been completed, and
is now ready for business. The first mes
sage over the wire from this city was sent
by President Humphreys to Maj. Green,
General Manager of the Central system,
| congratulating him upon the completion
of the line. Our telegraph rates will now
probably be reduced considerably.
We received call Wednesday morning
from our young friend Geo. T. Brown, of
Bolton, who has, during the past few
months, made tour of the State. He
saws Anderson County is far ahead ofany
other County in the State in every respect.
Mr.. Brown will, ,.about lst January, move
to Chattanooga, Tenn, where he has ac-
cepted q position with large iron COM
pany. We will regret to see him leave
Anderson County.
We do not know to have ever heard the
cry of hard times so universal. These
arc the times to find out what kind of
| stuff men are made Of There are some
who will sneak around and try to hide
from their creditors or set up some fiimsy
pretext against paying their debts, while
others toe the mark like men, pay what
| they can and ask for indulgence. Such
| men will never lack for friends.
The Courts are gradually calculating
the law of kissing, and perhaps after
awhile an elementary work on the subject
| will be given to the profession. A New
York Court the other day established the
principle that there is no objection to
kissing a girl of the proper age if she is
willing, but that the kisser must be sure
of the kissee's consent, which may not be
presumed on from trihing circumstances
| by the inexpert in such matters.
Anderson County is still ahead, and is
bound to keep in the lead. After other
places had produced trees that rained, she
came forward with ttee that showed.
| That, however, was not sufficient, and
now she can produce tree that bellows
like COW. This tree is located few
miles north of the city, and was first dis
covered by little boy, who informed his
parents of it. Several persons have visit
ed the tree, and our informant states that
they say it bellows at intervals like COW.
We neglected last week to montion the
death of Mamie Watson, eldest daughter
of DR.. D. S. Watson, which occurred at
her home, three miles south of the city,
on Thursday morning, 1lth inst, aged
about ten years. She had long been
afflicted with heart disease, and bore her
sufferings with great fortitude and pa
tience. She was a sweet, amiable girl, and
has gone to that haven of rest where suf-
fering is never known. Her remains
were inferred in the family burying-
ground, Rev. J. S. Murray conducting the
funeral services.
Rev. A. A. Marshall, of Gainesville,
Ga, delivered his address, according to
appointment, on the subject of temper
ance in the Court House last Friday even
ing, to very large audience. 1t was un.
doubtedly one of the most logical ad-
dresses on the subject we have ever listen
ed to, and we think made good impress
ion upon each hearer. Mr.. Marshall re-
NAMED in the city until Monday, preach
ing in the Baptist Church on Sunday
morning and in the Presbyterian Church
on Sunday evening. Both sermons were
able and eloquent discourses. His con-
gregation at Gainesville are fortunate in
having such pastor. We don't blame
them for not giving him up. He has
made many friends in Anderson, and
will ever be welcome visitor to our city.
