Poore, of Honea Path Township, died
March 3rd, 1893, and was buried at Shady
Grove Church on Saturday following

pastor, Rev. r. j. Williams. Mrs. Poore
was in her 32nd year, and leaves hus'
band, two children and mother to grieye
her loss. Over year ago she had severe
attack of grip, anu Asr constitution being
weak she never recovered from 1t. She
had q gentle, kind and loving disposition
and was loved by all who knew her. In
early life she attached herself to the
Church, and ever lived an ornament to
her profession, and her death was only 8
change from this world Of sickness and
death to that haven of rest, where partings
are no more.
Mrs. Matte Chipley died at her home
on McDuffie street last Sunday night
about 1890 o'clock, aged about IS years
Mrs. ChipleY was widow, and resided
with maiden sister, Miss Susan Wilson
She has been a resident of Anderson q
number of years, having moved here with
her sister from near Greenwood, 8. @.
She had bsen in feeble health for several
months, but her condition was not con-
sidered serious until about three weeks
ago. She was a. most excellent Christian
woman, having long been member oi
the Methodist Church, and was highly es-
teemed by her frisnds. On Monday her
remains were inferred In Silver Brook
Cemetery, Rev. J. o. Wilson conducting
the funeral services.
Last Friday night, between and 10
o'clock, small cyclone passed through a
section about four miles north of the city.
It's path did not exceed two hundred
yards in width, but wherever 1t struck
everything was leveled to the ground.
The residence Of Mr.. J. T. Brown, on Mr..
Luther Burriss' plantation, was tern from
it's foundation and completely wrecked,
the timbers and the furniture of the house
being scattered in every direction. The
outhouses were also demolished. Mr..
Brown and his family were away from
home at the time. Had they been at home
the entire family would have no doubt
been killed. Considerable timber was
blown down. Mr. VIM. Browns orchard
was destroyed as we'll as the fences around
his premises Inside his house some glass.
ware was shaken from a shelf and broken.
About the same hour the wind was very
high in other sections, but we have heard
OF no further damage.
The INTELL1aENcER has received q pri-
vate letter from Maj. A. @. Hill, of Calais,
Me-, who was stationed in Anderson in
l865-66 with the 1st battalion of Maine VOL
unteers. Maj. Hill says: II have lively
recollection OF my sojourn in Anderson In
1865 66, ard as Quarter Master had to
deal with you alt. gained no friends
among those wished to, but had to con-
tent myself with those that could not
help but despise." He says he was ia the
war from 1861 until the close and mentions
the names Of several persons who were
! residents of Anderson during his sojouru
here Two of these citizens are still resi-
dents of Anderson. Thoy remember Maj.
Hill very we'll, and speak very highly Of
him. Maj. Hill says he is a Democrat
and offers to send the INTELL1aENoER
something for publication. We would be
pleased to hear from him, and can assure
him that should he eyer visit Anderson
he would be warmly welcomed and would
meet with the cleverest people to be found
| In Grover Clevelands whole country.
Mr. w. R. McAdams, Jr., q most ex-
cellent citizen of the Antreville section,
had the misfortune to have his wagon al
most toru to pieces on South Main street
last Thursday afternoon. He was going
out of the city, on his way home, with bis
wagon loaded with supplies, and was
driving team of three mules. Just as be
began ascending the hill at the P. M. J.
a bicyclist came down the street and bis
team became frightened. The mule in
the lead made sudden turn and was fol.
lowed by the other two mules, and, in
less time than it takes to write it, the
wagon was badly demolished. Mr.. Nc
Adams at once brought his demolished
wagon to the shops, and it cost him about
fifteen dollars to have it repaired. The
bicyclist refused to even pay for half Of
the damage, which falls right heavy on
Mr.. McAdams, who is poor mau. Bicy.
clists will have to be more careful in rid.
ing through the streets of the city. Such
accidents as this will bring some of them
into the Mayors Court, where they will
be made to pay right dearly for their
carelessness.
Mr.. Thomas Nelson Page, the we'll
known Virginia author and reader, will
give an entertainment in the Opera House
on Saturday night, 18th inst. Wherever
Mr.. Page has appeared, his success has
been instantaneous, and his popularity ss
delineator OF Southern life and charac'
ter on the platform is keeping pace with
his great and increasing fame as an ar
thor. The Atlanta Constitution, in speak,
ing of his entertainment, says: "Ar
evening with Thomas Nelson Page is
something that will be remembered AZ
loug as life lasts. How many have reao

illustrating the simple customs and faitf

rapture and delight until their very lives
seemed taken back to the dear, dead ole
days of negro slavery-read them through
