Katie S. Davis died Feb. 9, age 16 years
10 months and 10 days.
Only gone before us to her home above.
Yes-Gone where the music Of her voics
Could cheer and charm our hearts;
Gone when her fresh and sunny smile
Did love itself impart.
Gone like bright and shining light,
That throws halo round,
Which lit with joy our happy home,
Where sighings now abound.
Yet still we feel our dear loved one,
Gone to the graves dark lest,
! Has only gone more bright to shine
Forever with the blest.

Rishop,s Branch News.

"Da worr am made up Oh wishin' for 1t
it to rain an wantin' it to clear off," The
above quotation strikes US very forcibly
when we consider the various remarks
made with reference to the weather, and
though it is negro philosophy, there is a
good deal of truth in it. We meet one
man WHO says II wish it wouldn't rain
until I can get my fodder pulled" and
another man says "this rain is just what
I want to see, it will do my young corn so
much good" and still another man says
"well, do wish it would clear off," and
80 the old fellow wasn't deviating far from
the right line when he made the assertion.
One man will grumble and fret because
things don't 90 as be wants them to, and
another man will smile and is jolly be.
How long will it take US to realize that
God knows best, and that He properly
directs and controls all things? There is
a Scripture that says, Gall things work
together for good to them that love the
Lord" and 80 some of US must be terrible
sinners, for we are nearly always grum.
bling about things going wrong with US.
Would it not be good idea for US to take
Bill Arp's ADVICE and try at all times to
be "calm and serene." Of course we are
having; plenty of rain at present.
Crops are doing very we'll in this sec
ton, though we see the rust is striking
cotton in places.
Miss Mettie Hammond, on accomplish

Welcome School.

Mr. EDITOR: Few occasions afford more
pleasure to those attending than did the
pic mic and entertainment given by We'll
come School last Friday. This school is
taught by Miss Lille E. Bigby, and is
located about three miles Southeast from
Piercetown.
BY special invitation the writer was
present to enjoy the day with the kind
and hospitable people of that community,
and he enjoyed it very much.
The forenoon was spent In singing,
conversing and playing baseball. About
O'clock the long table prepared for the
occasion was laden with such viands as
would tempt the appetite of the most fas-
tidious. This was a part of the program
intensely enjoyed by all, and all were sat.
isfied.
In the afternoon the house was crowded
to its utmost capacity. After music by
the school an address was made by the
School Commissioner, to which oil gave
close attention. Next came game of
baseball, and then an adjournment until
candle lighting, at which time the school,
in connection with the Beaverdam Lodge
of Sons of Temperance, re-assembled and
favored those present with an exceedingly
interesting program, consisting of decla-
nations, recitations, dialogues, music and
Temperance speech by School Commits
sioner Wardlaw. With this the exercises
closed, and the people dispersed to their
homes feeling that they had been amply
paid for their attendance.
In this connection we will remark that
the patrons of Welcome School are alive
to the education of their children, and
show their wisdom in securing and re-
tanning such teacher as Miss Lille Big
by. They are satisfied with their teacher
and encourage her, and in return their
children are well and carefully trained.
We are always glad to see any commu-
nifty building upon such a firm and solid
basis. To them we would say, you are
right, so 60 ahead. 8. G.

Yesterday was most beautiful day,
and the many bright faces at Sunday
School were pleasant to see. Our school
is doing well. The new music our worthy
singing clerk has ordered is delightful.
The patrons of Lebanon were fortunate
to secure the services of Miss Rosa Greer,
of Williamson, to give music lessons to
the children. All should go that can pos
sibly do 80, for they will have no cause to
regret it. We trust che will have pleas
ant stay in our midst.
We ever welcome Miss Rosa Milford

stay quite awhile.

We noticed on yesterday certain
young man was looking exceedingly
''grum," and on making inquiries we
found his "best girl has gone back On

more than one girl in the world, and my
advice is cheer up, and cast your net on
the other side.
We have been having glorious reviyals
in all the Churches around, and good feel
ings prevail generally.
The annual Campmeeting 'at Sandy

hearts are looking forward to the time
with great pleasure. We trust good order
will prevail throughout.

Death of DR.. w. b, Todd.

Last Friday night, about 10 o'clock, DR..
VIM. Harvey Todd died at his home on
McDuffie street, in this city. AS was stated
in the INTELL1aNNCER last week, he was
stricken down on Saturday night preced-
ing with severe copgestive chill, which
was followed by an attack of pneumonia,
and he gradually grew weaker until death
came to his relief. He was conscious up TO
within a few minutes of his death, and,
fully realizing his condition, he called his
family and several intimate friends to his
bedside and babe them ar afectionate
farewell, and then calmly and peacefully
crossed over the river.
DR.. Todd Was son of Pinckney Todd,
deceased, and in the 41st year of his ago.
He was born and reared in Anderson
County, and was well known throughout
the County. Being deprived of fathers
support and care in his early youth, his
pathway to manhood was at times rough
and rugged, but he struggled on and SIC.
cured good common school education,
several years being spent under the train
ing of the late Prof. Ligon. In his early
manhood he selected the medical profession
as his avocation for life, and in 1874 gradu
ated from the College Of Physicians and
Surgeons in Baltimore, standing very high
in his class. He located at once at Belton
to practice hia profession, and by his ge-
nial disposition, pleasant, courteous man.
ners and close attention to bis patients, he
was not long in building up very fine
practice. About year ago he moved TO
Anderson, and with his brother, Mr.. A.
n. Todd, opened drug store here. The
Doctor continued to practice medicine,
and was succeeding finely. Indeed. he
had very bright and promising future
before him.
In 1879 Dr. Todd was happily married
to Miss Hattie Latimer, of Abbeville
County. This union was blessed with
four bright little children. In his youth
he Joined the Methodist Church, and re-
mained a faithful and jealous member of
the same until his death. He loved the
Church of his choice, and was liberal
and cheerful supporter of all her institu
tions. He was universally esteemed as
man Of admirable purity, kindness and
meekness of spirit, and faithfully dis.
charged his duties in every relation of lite.
He made friend Of every acquaintance
in fact, we doubt if he had an enemy.
Death is sad under any and all circum-
stances. but when such good, useful
man is stricken down in the prime of life
it is peculiarly sad. Anderson has Ger
tainly lost good citizen, and the recol-
lections of his many virtues will never be
obliterated from the hearts and memory
of his loved ones and numerous friends.
On Sunday afternoon, al 5 O'Clock, the
funeral services were held in the Metho-
dist Church, and were conducted by the
pastor, Rev. Chas. B. Smith, in the pres.
ence OF a large concourse of bereaved
friends, after which the remains were laid
to rest in the Silver Brook Cemetery.

On Sunday night, the 9th inst, DR..
Chas. Manly baptized four brethren into
the fellowship of the Bolton Baptist
Church,
Little Jimmie Smith, the son of Rev. ].
T. Smith, of this place, while endeavoring
last Sunday afternoon to jump the picket
fence separating the back yard from the
front yard, got his clothes caught on
picket and was thrown forward on his
head, thus resulting in straining the mus
cles Of his neck in very painful manner.
DR.. Campbell was called to see the little
sufferer, and he reported that no serious
damage had been done to the child.
Two very instructive and impressive
sermons were preached here last Sunday
and Sunday eve by Rev. Ckas. Manly, D.
D., the pastor of the Baptist Church at
this place.
Quite q number of new students were
enrolled in the Belton High School last
Monday. We are glad to know that the
prospects Of this school are so fattering.
Many of the boarders who have been
summering at the Belton Hotel, have left
for their homes and other parts.
We are very sorry to hear of the serious
condition of Mr.. Hugh Knox, of our
town. He has been suffering severely
from epilepsy for the last few days.
Mrs. R. E. Walker, sister OF Mrs. J. T..
Smith of Bolton, left last Thursday for
Barlow, Ga, to visit her sister, Mrs. P. NJ.
Brown.
Little Marie, the daughter of Rev, and
Mrs. II. T. Smith, of Prosperity, s. c., has
been quite sick at the residence of Rev. j.
