Time been the boss carder at b
Mills, died on the 18th inst, alter a snort
but painful illness. His remains were
Inferred the following day with Masonic
bonors. Mr.. Hardeman was an officer in
the Baptist Church at Piedmont, n lived
he life of a devoted christian. He was
hiphly esteemed by his friends and very
popular with the operatives OF the mill.
MIR. J. NJ. Mccoy, an upright, clever
citizen of the White Plains section OF tnis
County, was in the city last Monday, and.
for-the first time in his life, saw q court OF
General Sessions. He Is about 40 years
of age, stays close at home and ATTENDS
strictly to his own business, and az q con
sequence has never bad any business IN
Court. We doubt If there Ia another man
of the same age as Mr.. Mccoy In Ander'
SON County who can say they never at
tended q Term of Court
The paper bags in which groceries are
done up are useful in many ways ana
should be saved, said a grocer the other
day. For instance, slip your hand 10 one
of them when you black q stove AND lt Is
not soiled. In fly time slip over the clean
lamp chimney during the day n IT VIII
be nice and clean when you light 1t In the
evening. When you can fruitin Inc glass,
slip the sack over the glass n the fruit
will keep much better. The acton OF tne
light causes more fruit to spoil than any
other thing.
Mr., J. A. Burgess, of the Townville Sec
ton, paid his annual visit to the INTEL
LIaENoER Office last Saturday. Mr.. Bur
CESS is one of our best farmers. This year
he has cultivated only q small crop him
self, but has gathered about five hundred
bushels of corn, and will make more than
thirty bales Of cotton. He bought his
plantation years ago on a credit, and has
long since paid for it, every cent being
made on the place. He makes his own
bacon and -four, which, together with his
good judgment and economy, is DO doubt
the SEQUEL of his sncce-s. Some people
say there is no profit in farming. What
do you think Of Mr.. Burgess showing?
Mr.. Burgess has been a subscriber to the
INTELL1aENcER for twenty years, and is
one Of our most prompt paying subscrib-
ers.

The County Poor House has recently
had three deaths among it's white inmates.
On the Oath September Mrs. Martha
Campton, aged So years, quietly breathed
her last and on the 10th inst. her devoted
husband, Mr.. Jesse Compton, aged 81
years, died and was laid to rest by the side
Of his wife in Salem C~hurchyard. Both
were members of Salem Church. This
venerable couple had been inmates of the
Poor House for a number of years, and it
is a little singular that they we're about
the same age, and were called away from
this troublesome world within suoh a
short time of each other. The third death
was that of Mr.. VIM. Leavels, who died
on Tuesday, Goth inst, in the 45th year of
his age. MI. Leayels had been an inmate
Of the Poor Heuse since 1858-about thir-

persons who have visited the Poor House.
In the last illness Of these poor, unfortun-
ate beings, MI. King, the efficient Stew
ard, and his family, left nothing undone
that would tend to their comfort.
