most efficient cotton mill experts in the

noted and which will make him success

After lingering illness of several
months the gentle spirit of Miss Flossie
Brown took its flight last Friday morn
ing. Surrounded by her devoted mother
and brothers and sister, she sweetly fell
asleep as little child. For eight or ten
wesks she had been i'll from nervous
prostration, caused by blood poison, and
ultimate recovery, her death was not un-
expected. Miss Flossie was about 16
years of age and daughter Of the late
Elijah w. Brown. Her death is peculiarly
sad. In the bloom of young womanhood
the grim reaper has deprived her friends
ofa life that gave promise of being worthy
of emulation. Possessing roany lovley
traits of character, she was the center Of
large circle of friends, who sincerely
mourn her untimely death. Several
years ago she joined the Presbyterian
Church and was jealous young Chris
tian. On Saturday morning the remains
were inferred at Silver Brook, after ap-
propriate funeral services conducted in
the Presbyterian Church ny Rev. D. D..
| Frierson. The members Of the family in
| their bereavement have many sy pathiz-
| ers.
Mr.. G. G. Simpson died rather suddenly
at his home near this city last Sunday
morning at 4 o'clock Mr.. Simpson had
been severely afflicted with rheumatism
for several years. and his health had been
gradually declining, though he had never
| been confined to his bed long at time.
Last Friday night he was stricken with
something like apoplexy or paralysis, and
| from that, time until death came to his
relief he apparently suffered great deal.
| The deceased was the only son of the late
Major Wm. D. Simpson, of this County,
| and was born aud reared in the Corner
| Township, where he lived until few years
ago, when he purchased the place of the
late Prof Lgon and moved there. MIR:
Simpson was about 43 years of age, and
was most worthy, upright citizen, pos
sessed of noble heart and most gener-
ous disposition. The funeral was conduct
| ed at his late residence on Sunday after
| noon by Rev. Fl. 3. FAINT. The exercises
were brief but touching, and the genuine
sorrow manifested by his friends at their
loss evidenced the high esteem in which
he vas held. At the conclusion of the SER
vices the remains were laid to rest in Silver
Brook Cemetery. To the devoted wife and
six little children who are left to cherish
his memory we tender our deepest sympa-
thy, and trust that God, in His infinite
mercy and wisdom, will comfort and con-
sole them in their sore bereavement
The Sheffield Gala Reaper copies the
INTELL1cENCER's notice in reference to the
organization of Arderson's new cotton
mill, and says: "The above will give
some idea of Anderson's way of doing
business. We have pleasant Iecollections
of that beautiful city, and its warm hearted
people. While there for our health the
idea of cotton mill was talked of, and
100 OO0 dollar mill built, new bank start

then came here. While We have resided
here, Anderson has gone steadily onward
and added num- Der of plants to her town
that has brought merchants and manufac-
turers there. Now they will build 25O.-.
600 dollar mill, and from what we know of
them, it will be done. Sheffield should
do this very same thing, start the ball to
rolling, let US put up factories and mills,
that will bring skilled labor as we'll as un-
skilled to our city. We haVs some men
of push and grit, as we'll as money, our
town has taken on new life, and people
are more cheerful, let the effort be made.
