Under the law passed at the session of the Legislature last year, the assessment of property will be made in the month of January, 1886, and the taxes will be col? lected on these assessments during the year in which they were made. This change in the law will enable tax officers to correct many erroneous returns on their books promptly, and will prevent many mistakes on the part of taxpayers. Under tbe old system, where assessments Were made the year previous to the col? lection of taxes, there was more or less confusion. Abbeville Press and Banner : "The two young officers of the Anderson Military School not only hold the highest position attainable in the military department, but also hold the highest positions in the literary department. Cadet Capt. DuPre, of Abbeville C. H-, was the first President of the Literary Society of A. M. School which was organized at the opening of the school in September. He served his term, which was two months, and then Cadet Lieut. Mattison, of Donalds, was elected in his stead. This speaks well for these young men, and we are proud of them because they hold these honorable positions, and we are proud of old Abbe? ville for furnishing them.". Mr, T. C Ligon, Anderson County's able and efficient Judge of Probate, was ? licensed'to preach the gospel by the Con? ference of the Methodist Church in this city at its meeting last Saturday. He, will appear before the annual Conference in Colombia next week, and will enter at once regularly tipto (be ministry. Mr. Ligon is a most excellent young man, a devoted and exemplary Christian, and will make a valuable worker in the vine? yard of th* Master. In reply to a ques? tion from us, whether he would resign his office, he stated that he did not know as yet what actiqn he would take in re? gard to-that, and could not toll nntil after the meeting of the Conference. We hope, however, that he will be so situated as at least to fill out his term. Thanksgiving Day was more generally observed in this city than it has been since . the war. Business of all kinds was sns Eended, the weather was fine and every ody seemed to be in their happiest mood. A union service was held in the Baptist Church, and was attended by a large au? dience. Rev. J. W. W?lling, of the Meth? odist Church, preached a most excellent and interesting sermon. At the conclu? sion of tbe services a collection was taken up for the Galveston and Selma sufferers. Services were also held in the colored Methodist Church. In many homes the day was- celebrated 'by the gathering of friends and relatives around hospitable boards, loaded with every delicacy in ad? dition to the regulation piece de resistance, the turkey. Next Sunday completes Rev. J. W. Wolling's third ecclesiastical year as pas? tor of the Methodist Church in this city. His labors here have not been in vain, for during his pastorate over one hundred accessions have been made to the Church, which is also in a most excellent condi? tion, financially and otherwise. During his residence here he has ever been found anxious to promote the best interests of our community, not only as a minister, but in all other respects. He has not only made himself popular with his own denomination, but with our whole people, among whom he has made many, very many, warm and lasting friends. Under '.he rules of his Church, Mr. W?lling can servo his donomination in this city another year, if the Bishop is so disposed, and we know wo speak the sentiment of his congregation, arid our whole people when we say that his return to Anderson would be both gratifying and acceptable to them. Dr. John Hamilton Rcid, one of the most prominent citizens of our County, died at his residenco in Corner Township on tho morning of December 1st inst. Dr. Reid was born in this County on the 9th of March, 1817, and has always been a citizen of the County. In early manhood he entered the practice of medicine, and soon acquired an extensive practice, which proved quite remunerative to him. Dr. Reid was a prominent member of Good I Hopo Presbyterian Church, and always enjoyed the confidence and esteem of Iiis neighbors and acquaintances. He was an intelligent and public-spirited gentleman, an upright, conscientious and consistent Christian, aud was exemplary in all the relations of life. In 186S he was elected the first Senator from Anderson County under the new Constitution, and served his constituents honorably and faithful!}' under the trying circumstances which surrounded him. For several years past Dr. Reid has been in feeble health, and death came to him not unexpectedly, and as a messenger of peace and rest. His remains were interred in the cemetery at Good Hopo Church on Wednesday morn? ing, after appropriate funeral services, conducted by Rev. R. 0. Ligon, in the presence of many relatives and frionds of the deceased. A Live Town. Mr. S. N. Carpenter, editor of tho El borton, Ga., Gazelle, in speaking of his re? cent visit to Anderson, says: "Wo spent Saturday last in tho city of Anderson, S. C.j and was foroibly im? pressed with the business enterprise of tho place. It is emphatically a live town, Bnd evory one you see appears to be as busy as a bee. The place has improved wouderfully, and resembles its former sei f but very little. We wore surprised at tho prices lue merchants wero paying for cotton. A farmer showed us a bill where he had sold 46 bales of cotton one day last week, of different grades, to Messrs. Mc Cully, Cathcart & Co. at 9? cents all round. A prominent merchant informed us that ho had just paid 9-55 for a lot of ten bales of fancy cotton, all cash, and that another gentleman bad purchased the same num? ber of bales, at tbe same price, on Satur? day?all cash. The average price for cot? ton on Saturday last was about 9 cents. Tho}' buy on grado, and when a man has a good bale of cotton, ho gets a faucy price for it. "Why is it that Elberton cannot afTord to pay as much for cotton asj the City of Anderson, when we get a lower rate of freights here than they do there ? There is a mystery about this we cannot under? stand." , To Rent. The store room .situated under the Ix TKr.MGBNCEB Office, on Wliitnor street, <)5 feet long by 25 feet wide. Price rea? sonable.

Thanksgiving Day was generally ob? served, all business houses being closed. The recent showers have made the pub? lic roods v?try muddy and travel very dis? agreeable. Cotton if; coming in briskly, and is sell? ing for 8$, middling?9 cents, good mid? dling. Our merchants are having a good trade, and making the best collections, probably, for several years. Christmas goods have been displayed at the drug stor?s? We thinlc the speech of Dr. Hawthorne, on prohibition, published in your last issue, the most masterly effort on the subject we ever read. It is simply unan? swerable. Our people seem to be greatly rejoiced at. the victory achieved in At? lanta. Anderson County, however, if given an opportunity will score a more Bignal victory for prohibition. The Belt.m Theatrical Club, which, by its interesting performances, has already gained some notoriety, will give an en? tertainment in Stringer's Hall, on Mon? day eveni.ig, December 28th, at which time will bo rendered that startling drama, "Among the Breakers." We ask for the Club a crowded house. Ante. Townvllle News Scraps. Thanksgiving services were held in the Presbyteriiu Church last Thursday. Mrs. John P. Ledbetter and Miss Eliza Qantt are visiting relatives and friends at Resaccn and Adairsville, Georgia. The Presbyteriau Sunday School will have a Christmas tree during the holi tys. The second attempt to hold a reunion of tho survivors of Company D, 2nd S. C. Rifles at Smith Chapel was also prevented by rain. The Baptist congregation recently pre? sented the Rev. Mr. Ligon, of tho Pres? byterian Church, with a handsome purse of money. The Sieging Convention comprising Pendleton and Fork townships was in session here last Saturday and Sunday, the 21st and 22nd. Miss Moore, of Honea Path Township, is visiting relatives and friends, in the Fork. On last Monday the clothing of a col? ored girl of this place, 10 or 12 years old, who sat bet :>re the fi.ro feeding her infant .sister, took fire and she was so badly burned as to die from her injuries in a few hours. _ _ * Hruiihy Creek Items. As I see nothing In your paper of late from Brushy Creek, I will give you a few items. Cotton is about gathered. The crop is much better than last seasou. Corn is good, but considerably damaged by water on the low lands. Nearly as much again made in our Township as was made last season. On the whole the farmers are happy. wheat sowing progresses slowly on ac? count of the wet weather. Oats were such a complete failure last year there are very few sawn so far. Great many per? sons did not make the seed they sowed. CoL John W. Rosemond andhisdaugh tor, Miss J-mnie, left a few days ago for Texas. Taey will also take in New Or? leans on tho trip. They were accompa? nied by two young lady teachers from our Township, Miss Campbell and Miss Cam? eron, who have won for themselves en? viable reputations as teachers and accom? plished young ladies. We all unite in wishing them a pleasant trip and a safe return. The egg's are being carefully laid away, and the Christmas gobler struts around as though he did not know that his time had nearly come. The Rev. R. A. Child preached to a large and attentive audience at St. Paul Church on yesterday, the fifth Sabbath. He scorns to be one of the rising young Methodist preachers.
