Mrs. Prof. John W. Gaines, of West
minister, is visiting relatives In this place
this week.
Rev. w. A. Kelley, of Charleston, will
have charge of the Townville Circuit next
year. Rev. o. L. Durant will go from the
Townville Circuit To the Pickens Circuit
We appreciated Rev. Durant as q neighbor
and citizen, and regret to see him leave u.s.
Mr.. w. N. Bruce, near this place, is
hunting birds all the time. "It's girl"
Mr.. Editor. some of our citizens are ask
ing why the Connie Maxwell orphanage
don't take illegitimate children 10 their
institution. They say that suffering hu-
manity deserve the charities of Christians,
The Baptist Church, of this place, held
services on Thanksgiving Day, and took
up a collection for the Connie Maxwell
Orphanage, which amounted to six dollars.
Mr. J. s. Isbell, one of our best farmers,
is going to the factory, perhaps Pelzer.
We notice good many people going to
the factories from the farms. We don't
think that good omen.
Mr.. J. G. CAN'T, of Broyles, spent the day
il our village one day this week.
Miss May Neal has charge of the Cedar
Grove school, just below this place, Miss
Bessie Neal has charge of the school at
Broyles, and Miss Estelle Burriss has
charge OF the Pine Grove school, over on
the Oconee side, while Miss Daisy Skinner
has charge of the new school at this place.
Gentlemen, do you hear this, or are you
deaf? All these young ladies are well
educated and accom- plished, and we have
several bachelors in our midst who would
do we'll to profit by this influx of beautiful
ladies.
We notice that "Sam Dewberry" wrote
about the dilapidated condition of the
Snow Hill cemetery. Mr.. J. A. Burgess
says for Mr.. Dswbery to set the day and
he will come and bring hand with him
and put itin good shape.
Mrs. Jene Harris, of Bowling Green,
spent two weeks with Mr.. J. A. Burgess
recently.
Christmas, (yes, we say Christmas, for
we don't like the way that Xmas sounds,
because it hasn't got any Christ In it) is
coming, and every one should remember
the poor little orphans, and send them
some nice presents. Oh, that We could lay
aside self and quit thinking 80 much Of
self and always doing all for self, and do
more for the Master in raising up the fall
len and feeding and clothing the poor, and
ministering to those who are afflicted and
in trouble. Now, one and all, wont you
promise that this Christmas you will let
whiskey alone, let wine alone, let big din
ners alone, let frolicking and dancing alone,
aud all you have to use that way give it to
the orphans at Greenwood and Clinton.
IF you will do that, we assure you that
your reflection on your life's work will be
much pleasanter and much sweeter. We
will ask every reader of the INTELLIaEN-
GER to contribute one dollar to the orphans,
es Christmas Offering, and send it to the
editor Of the INrELL1aENCER with instruc.
tions as to which orphanage it is to 60 to,
whether to the Connie Maxwell, at Green
wood, 8: G or to the Thornyell, at Gin;
sincerely hope that you all will do the
same. When you come to die you wont
feel any worse off by so doing.
We are sorry to hear of Mr.. sheldon's
misfortune in losing his house by fire. It's
a sad thing to have your dwelling burned,
and have no insurance, either. Every
person should have some insurance on their
dwellings. OLD Ros1N LIE BOW.
