Lowndksvim.e, Dec. .'list, 1888. Col. K. M. llucker of Anderson, C. Jl., having spent a lew days among friends at Kuckersville, Ua., on Ills return home spent last Monday night and Tuesday at the Horton House. Mr. H. L. lluckabee and wife of I'clzer came down last Tuesday morning, and liave since been visiting at our house. Some of the juveniles of this (own had a nice Christmas tree in the academy hero on last Monday night. The many presents gave much joy to the little folks. On Tuesday night last there was a Christmas tree at the house of Mr. .las. M. Latimer, specially for the enjoyment of his grand-children, all of whom are now near him. Other neighboring children were invited and cordially welcomed, ail of whom spent a most delightful time. Mrs. Marion Latimer of Anderson, C. II., came down on Inst Tuesday op a visit of some length to her relatives and many friends hereabouts. Mr. Wm, Martin of Klbert County, Ga., and MlssMumlo Thomas of the Fork were invited in marriage on last Tuesday evening at the home of the bride's lather. Mr. A. D. Broadwell and Mrs. Ann Ycargen were happily married hist Tuesday night at the Methodist parsonage here, by the llev. W. S. Martin. Quite a crowd was present to witness the ceremony. Mr. B. Bolin Allen and his bride having spent a part of last week among relatives and friends at Anderson, C. H., returned to their home iu the Fork on last Friday. \"e are sorry to state that Sheriff W. D. .Mann has been quite sick at his home for the past week or two. We hope that he will soon recovcr and be again at his post. Mr. John Morrah or Mt. Carmel came up last Friday, and was the guest of his kinsman Judge J. B. LeRoy, until Saturday evening. Dr. B. A. Henry went to Elberton on last Tuesday to eat a Christmas dinner with his father and mother and other kinsfolk. Mr. D. L. Barnes and wife are moving to their residence, known as the Frather house, where they will keep house. Mr. H. A. Tennant has moved into and Is now occupying the house occupied last year by Mr. J. Q. Donnald, who has returned to Hartwcll, <ia. Last Saturday morning a car loaded with cotton, a part of down morhing train on the Savannah Valley Kali Road was found to be on Are, when it reached Starr. Jt was sidetracked at that point, and everything burnable about It was consumed In a few minutes. It is only a matter of conjecture as to the origin of the Are, as no facts have as yet been brought to light, upon which to base an opinion. The colored people had a festival at their school house near the Depot last Tuesday night. As usual quite a crowd of them were present trom all directions, and from reports everything was done decently and In order, for which they deserve much credit, as the most of the gatherings of the colored folks wind up in a row, but then Lowndesville and lis vicinity will compare favourably as to her colored people, as she does in everythiug else. We think they, as a whole, are a better class than can be found anywhere else. On the above occasion they cleared about 520.00, which will be devoted to church purposes. Mr. B. A. Davis of Anderson County, re-visited this, the place of his nativity last Saturday. He has mauy very warm friends in this community who are always glad to meet him. Mr. Henry Johnson formerly of the Fork, but now of Anderson, C. H., was here for a day or two of last week shaking hands with old friends who were glad to see him. Some of our planters are. to date, not done picking cotton. Some of their tlelds ore still "white," but it will no doubt all be saved. Prof. J. F. Harper will begin the first session of his school for 18s9 on the 21st of January. Prof. Harper taught here last year, and so far oc 1c IrnAu-n omuo ontiro cntiufitnHnn nrwi wo bespeak for him an increased patronago for the now year. Before this reaches the eye of the public, Christmas with its many and varied occurences will have taken its place in the past. The Christmas sun will have set, and left many perhaps in despondency's darkness, because of vhe, at least, partial shipwreck of their moral courage. Time was when the week was regarded and observed as a festal, tliauksgiving occasion, but now very many people regard It a time to be given over to baser purposes, judging from their actions. It is gone never to return. All have passed through it in their own peculiar way, getting as much out of It as wa,s possible. With us it was remarkably quiet and dull. There was an almost entire cessation of all business after last Monday, and our people seem with one accord to have givon the time entirely to ease and rest. Last, but by no means least, I mention an occurrence of last Tuesday night. At that time Messrs. LeRoy and McConnell had a few days before decided to gl vo a supper to a few male friends. When Invited, some of us expected that it would perhaps be an oyster supper, but upon assembling about 8 P. M.f we found a taDle (over McConnell & Baker's store) bountilully supplied with everything to tempt the appetite, and satisfy even an epicure. Of course woman, (what could us men do without her) had a hand in it, in preparing the viands, and if she had lent her presence, the occasion would have been complete. As It was it can never be forgotton by any one of us so fortunate as to be present, and I know I but voice the sentiment of the crowd, when I say It might be equalled, but not excelled. And to our kind entertainers. 1 extend our best wishes, and our sincere thanks for the enjoyment allorded us. TKOUPE. Mount Cni-mel'd Items. Mt. Caioiel, S. C., Pec. 31st, 1888.

In accordance with a promise long deferred, I send you a few dots from our little village. Christmas is over and It lias been unusually dull, with the exception of some pranks by night revelers, ana a few social gatherings. Nothing has happened out of the usual routine of events. Your scribe attended a pleasant dining at the hospitable home of Capt. W. E. Cothran, where we enjoyed all the usual Christmas delicacies, garnished by the presence of reflned ladies and courteous gentlemen. There were several other dinln^s which I did not attend, one at Mrs. F. P. Harrison's, and the other nt Capt. J. H. Chilcs's. A very unusual incident occurred here on Saturday last. A very old couple of darkies anDeared in the town, and were endeavoring to borrow one dollar to have the nuptial tie consummated. They were unablo to borrow, but a sympathizing crowd made uy. the money and called upon Judge Wr.fson >o perform the ceremony. He with his u-ual urbanity agreed to do so. Ho therefore mounted a bale ol cotton in front of his store, and in a very impressive manner made them husband and wife. After the ceremoxy ho admonished them with some words ' ! counsel and commanded them to salute uacli other, which they did In a very affectionato mauner.
