The inclement weather prevented a
large attendance of ladies upon the W. G..
T. u. prayer meeting last Sunday after
noon, but there was crowd of boys and
young men, and Col. j. G.. Clinkscales,
who conducted the meeting, gave them a
sound, practical talk. His remarks were
to the point aud full of wholesome ad-
vice. Every boy who was present should
take the speakers words to himself and
ponder them.
Last Saturday morning Andy Simpson,
a colored boy about IA years of age, who
was employed in the Anderson Oil Mill,
met with most painfu. accident, which
cost him an arm. He was engaged at
work, when his loft arm was caught in
the seed crusher and terribly crushed
nearly to the elbow. Drs. Sharpe and
>Wilhite attended the unfortunate boy,
and amputated his arm just below the
elbow. He is doing we'll at present.
An exchange says: "No sensible man
should get mad because newspaper duns
him for money. A dun is not an impeach-
ment of subscribers integrity, but is
simply an outcropping of publishers
necessities. For instance, thousand men
owe from 81 to Sc each. We have to dun
them all in order to pay expenses. In
stead of getting mad and stopping the
paper because the publisher asks him for
what is honestly due, the subscriber
should thank the editor for waiting on
him 80 patiently, and pay up like little
man."
We had pleasant call last Tuesday
from Mr.. John NJ. Grubbs, of Marion
County, Texas, who, with his good wife,
is visiting friends and relatives in our
County. Mr.. Grubbs is native of An
derson County, but has been resident of
Texas for fifteen years. He is we'll
pleased with his adopted home, and has
met with much success there. Ho and
his wife will spend several months with
their relatives in this County. Mr..
Grubbs has been subscriber to the IN
TELL1eENcER ever since it was first pub
lished, and it gives us great pleasure to
meet him. We hope lie and his wife will
have pleasant visit.
Last Sunday night as two gentlemen
we're on their way home from church and
when near the depot they scented burn
ing cotton. They Informed the watch
lnan at the depot and began looking for
the fire. In few minutes they located it
in Mr.. W. F. Barr's warehouse, which
stands near the east end of the depot plat
form, and in which are stored about one
hundred bales of cotton The bales were
piled on top of each other, and on one OF
the topmost bales large coal OF fire had
been placed and the bale was being rapid
ly consumed They secured water and
soon extinguished the fire. The coal had
certainly been placed there by some
scoundrel. In another hour serious
confagration perhaps would have taken
place. After the fire was extinguished
Mr.. Brown, the watchman, noticed man
near the warehouse, and on approaching
him he ran off. Mr.. Brown took after
him and fired his pistol several times
but the man outrun him, and he was un-
able to sec who he was.
