Texas, has been announced as q candidate

We invite the attention Of the many
readers of the INTELL1GENCER to the ad-
yertisement of Mr.. Eugene f. Bates, agent
for the Columbia and Hartford Bicycles,
at Greenville, 8. 9. Mr.. Bates sells more
wheels perhaps than any agency in the
State, keeps in stock and does all kinds OF
difficult repairing. If you contemplate
buying a wheel, or need new part or
your wheel repaired write to him. he is
reliable gentleman, and will give you
satisfaction in prices, etc. Read his ad-
vertisement.
It is not often that newspaper adds
macy new subscribers to It's list at this
season of the year. June is just little
more than half gone, and yet we have ad-
ded twenty. five new names to our list
since LIST of the month. and, with two ex-
beptions, they are all in this County. We
sfo not Dragging, but we mention this lit
tie fact just to show that the people know
that the old INTELL1GENCER is their friend
and worthy of place in their homes, and,
an one gentleman who quit taking it q
year ago, remarked that be couldn't keep
house any longer without It," We still
have room for few more names.

vile, 8. c., and Mr.. Fl. A. Ligon and

iting thei- mother. Mrs. l.. @. Ligon, and
other relatives. To-day there will be a
family reunion, where all the members
with their little ones will once more
gather around devoted mothers festive
board and spend most happy day.
There will be some vacant chairs caused
by the Angel of Death, but those who are
left to cherish the memory Of the departed
loved ones have the consolation Of know
ing that they are now gathered around the
festive board ofthe blessed Saviour.
We clip. the following paragraph from
Otangeburg Times and Democrat 1t
seems that there is movement among the
laymen of the Methodist Church in this
district to have the Rev. @. B. Smith sue
caed Rev. J. w. Dickson as Presiding Ell
der. AS Presiding Elder Dickson's time
is out here this Fall, there is no reason
why Mr.. Smith could not be appointed.
He would make q good Presiding Elder"
The Times and Democrat is right-Mr.
smith would make d most efficient Pre-.
siding Elder, and if he should be promoted
to that position we, with his many friends
up here, would be more than pleased to
see him in charge Of the Greenville Dis
trict, which includes our city and County.
