Mr.. Tim. D. Kennedy died at the home
o. his brother-in.la Mr.. Barney O'Dcn-
nell, in this city, last Thursday morning
at o'clock, of consumption. Mr.. Ken
nedy was about IL years of age, and was
well known throughout the County. He
was the eldest son of the late NJ. D. Ken
nedy, and came to Anderson with his
parents when a small boy. Here he was
reared and educated, and we doubt If
there ever vas reared in our midsta young
man with a more brilliant mind or
more genial noble disposition. In bis
early manhood he decided upon the
practice of law as his vocation for life, and
after pursuing course in the law depart
ment of the University of Virginia, he
returned to Anderson, was admitted to
the bar, and at once opened an Office for
the practice of his profession, For several
years he ably conducted the local depart
ment Of the INTELLIaENCER. About two
years ago he went to Santos, Fla, where
be remained until few weeks ago, when
be returned home. Shortly after his
return, he was confined to his bed, and
gradually grew worse until death came
TO his relief. Late Friday afternoon his
remains were consigned to their last rest
ing place in the Catholic cemetery, Father
Hirshmeyer conducting the funeral
services in the presence of large crowd of
sympathizing friends.
Last Monday was "All-Fool' ol's-Day," and
as usual many jokes were played TN the
unsuspecting. Several young men were
going all over the business part of the city
looking for various persons whom they
had been told were anxious to see them.
At an early hour the report was started
that President Harrison had been assassi-
mated, aud many expressions of regret
could be heard from those who believed
the report. But the best joke of the day
happened Monday night at certain board
ing-house lin the city. At this house
there is certain young man boarding who
is very afraid of fire, and when an alarmis
given he gets very much excited. Several
of his companions, who room next door to
him, having seen his actions when the fire
alarm is sounded, determined to perpe.
trate joke on, him. Accordingly they
posted the aforesaid young mans room
mate, who agreed to assist IN carrying cut
the Joke. In the meantime the young man
suspected that something was going to
happen, but kept it to himself. The
young men all retired to bed about their
usual hour, and when it vas thought that
most of the boarders were asleep, two
certain young men arose from their bed,
went out into the hall, just opposite the
aforesaid young mans room, where they
lighted the paper. They at once threw
open their friends door and began crying
.t1ire fire - The young man arose i'm
,uediately from his bed, and in his usual
excited way, inquired where the fire was.
Upon being told that it was in an adjoining
room he grabbed bucket of water aud
started for the door, but instead of rushing
out of the room, he dashed the contents of
the bucket all over his two friends who
had attempted to play the joke on him,
and, as he did so, burst into big laugh.
His friends, realizing that they had got the
worst of the April-fool Quietly retired to
their rooms, where they lost no time in
exchanging their wet Mother Hubbards"
for dryer ones. Now when you mention
April-fool to Judge Cox and Jim Dugan,
they utter rathera dry laugh. but Alb.
Kay enjoys the joke hugely, and says, ne
always Keeps bucket OF water in his
room, to use in case fire should break
