rubbish and trash that has accumulated
there during tho winter months, may,
under tho heat Of the sultry summer sun,
cause sickness in your fsmily. Attend
to this in time and preserve your health.
The question is asked: when should
young woman marry ?" Well, really
we have not given the subject any great
amount Of thought, but we venture the
opinion that she ought to marry-if she
so desires-when the opportunity presents
itself; when she is asked.

The members of the Independent Hook
and Ladder Company have received their
uniforms, which are quite pretty and are
made of the best material If the weather
is favorable, the Company will parade
this Thursday afternoon at 6 o'clock,
when everybody will have an opportuni-
ty of seeing the uniforms.
Rev. W. T. Mathews, of Greenwood,
preached in the Presbyterian Church last
Friday evening, Saturday morning and
evening and Sunday morning and even
ing to large and attentive audiences. His
sermons were deep and interesting, and
were greatly enjoyed by the congregation.
Mr.. Mathews is young man of consid.
cradle talent, and we predict for him q
bright future.
We have received the first number of
the Woodruff Progress, new paper just
started in the town Of Woodruff by
Messrs. Gregory e. Harris, and edited by
Mr.. s. NJ. Pilgrim. The proprietors are
experienced newspaper men, and if the
citizens of Woodruff will only encourage
their efforts and patronize them literally
they will give them live paper. We
wish them success.
The like of it has never been heard of
before. and the South Carolina editor must
think the millennium has come in Galena,
Kansas, as the citizens of that town have
petitioned the editor of local paper in
that place to allow them to give him a
benefit at the opera house, assigning rs a
reason that he has never failed to give his
columns to the assistance of home enter
tainments, civic orders, churches, schools,
charities, or organizations of every de-
scription. The lines of that editor are
cast in pleasant place, surely.
The annual pic mic at Geer's Spring last
Saturday was complete success and a
most pleasant occasion. In the forenoon
the crowd was entertained by interesting
speeches from Messrs. C. Wardlaw, M.
Gassaway and J.. E. Breazeale. The
speakers were introduced by Col. L. f.
Campbell, who also made some remarks.
After the speaking, most sumptuous
basket dinner was served. The afternoon
was devoted to social amusements, which
were kept up till late in the afternoon,
and all present seemed sorry that the day
was not twenty-four hours longer. The
spring is most beautiful place to haye a
pic mic.
\ Owing to the inclement weather on
Wednesday, the festival arranged by the
ladies of the Baptist Working Society to
be held on the lawn at Col. E.. B. Murray's
residence was postponed, and we are re-
quested to announce that it will be held
or Monday afternoon and evening. The
children who are to join the procession
are requested to meet at Mrs. McSmith's
art rooms at o'clock on Monday after
noon. Mrs. S. Bleckley, Miss j. F. Ed
wards and Mrs. McSmith will have charge
of the children who attend. At the
grounds the Cornet Band will furnish
music for the afternoon and evening.
Refreshments will be served and the pat
ronage of the public is solicited.
The Holiness Convention concluded its
services last Sunday evening, and the
delegates left for their homes on Monday.
Four services were held each day-6 and
II q. m. and 4 and 81 p. M. Each service
was largely attended, especially at night,
when the Church was inadequate to hold
the crowd. During the meeting a num-
ber of persons were converted and num-
ber claimed to have been sanctifed. Much
interest was manifested in the services,
and much good will no doubt result from
them. The sermons throughout were
mainly devoted to expounding the doc
trine of holiness. If the weather is favor
able, night services will be held through
out this week, Rev. j. W. Wolling and
Rev. T. C. Ligon conducting them. If the
interest continues, it is probable that
other ministers will come to their assist
ance.
"We were pleased to meet at the pic mic
at Slabtown on Saturday, the clever and
gentlemanly local editor of the Anderson
INTELL1aENcER, Mr.. G. c. Langston.
Mr.. Langston is one of the best local ed
itors of the State, and nothing happens in
his County that the many readers of the
1NTELLl GENcER are not favored with by
his pen. His attention to the fair sex on
Saturday was marked, and in his remarks
Of the pic mic in the columns of his paper
we may expect to see something of a
pretty maiden from Easley,' or dash
ing belle from Central Who is it, friend
L?"-Easley Messenger. You should have
been more merciful, Bro. Condor, and
not have given US away in such man
ner besides, that's not fair question.
However, if you will promise not to tell,
the next time we see you we will whisper
it softly in your ear, and ask you to speak
good word for us.
On Wednesday afternoon of last week
terrible tragedy occurred on Mr.. II. II.
Acker's plantation, about four miles south
of the city, which resulted in the death of
a little negro child about eighteen months
