THE E^ELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. A MERRY CHRISTMAS : Old Santa Clans will again greet his nu- j nicrous admirers! It seems so short a time since tho mythical friend of innocence and goodness went his rounds, and gladdened I the hearts of the little ones with the dainties and nick-nacks of the season. To them it appears an age, no doubt, but to the rest of j mankind, who have passed beyond the stage J of childhood's enjoyment, the whirligig of time revolves more rapidly as descending years bring the anxieties and responsibilities of maturer life. The dullness and dreariness j of the times will bring to mind the necessity! i for eschewing costly remembrances cf the I season, but neither adversity nor hardships I ' of an unusual degree should make us forget the pleasures and gratifications of the Christ-1 mas tide, viewed from childhood's eyrie height, where naught of life's ills and trou-1 hies can ever reach, bnt where the sunshine of hope enkindles the heart and brings joy-1 ous anticipations with the advent of Santa Claus, whose genial, sparkling face ought to I be mirrored in the countenances of his che sen almoners. We are a firm believer in the I ancient custom and legendary story which I , connects the season, so long honored in our Southern clirr.e, with bounteous gifts to cbil- I dren 1 It bloss ess the giver, and enlarges hi? I sympathy for tho prattling youngsters, who are to life's burdens the most soothingpana cea, if we would only understand their ways j and enter more largely into their plans. The J old-time hospitality, moreover, is too often neglected and forgotten, andChristnus is made to wear a different appearance from the long ago when neighbors were wont to greet t heir neighbors with friendly smile and genuine welcome. In many cases, poverty j and depression will explain the cause, but we are losing many features of our Southern j civilization, and trilling as it- may appear, j we are giving up to our discredit a most im portant feature when Christmas, with its so- j cial benefits and joyous relaxation, is allow ed to be crushed with the fearful tide off changing ideas, which has submerged our J population since the war. We cannot par .sue the subject farther just now, yet could riot refrain from' pointing a moral as the ] merry season again approaches. With sin-1 ccrest wishes that our numerous readers may enjoy the fullest realization of their] hopes, and aid in blessings bestowed upon ? worthy recipients, we give them a Christmas ] greeting! . j BE IK? MENTION. Firecrackers every night admonish one ] that Christmas is coming! Preparations are making to hold the Tern- I perance Fidr in the Masonic Hall. The hricige across Rocky River near this j place has l>een completed, and is a very sub-1 stantial structure. In order to give the employees of this ] office a brief respite from their labors, only ] a half sheet will be issued next week. The streets are again lighted from tho street lam]*, and pedestrianism around the I public srm no on dark nights is not so dim- { [cult. We are requested to mention that the ser-1 vices of the Episcopal Church, at this place, will be read on Sunday next by Mr. John ] DttVis. Our friends in the country will bear in I mind the. agreement among the merchants 1 and business men to close their stores and [ places of business on Saturday and Monday, j Messrs. M. L. Fant & Co. announce this week that they have a complete supply of Christmas presents, in the way of toys, Ac. Those desiring to uecure presents for their I children would do well to give them a call. I The'ordinance against cattle running at large has been re-enacted by the Town j Council, and owners of lean and hungry ] tine are reminded to look, well to its pro visions, besides looking out for provision i to I keep their stock from suffering. Mr. Lawrence Clinkscalea, son of Mr. Frank Clinkscales, formerly of this County, I but more recently residing near Lowndes- ] ville, in Abbeville county, was thrown from j his horse on last Sunday, and received inju- I rieft, by the fall, from which ho died in a few ] hoars. The Anderson Journal is tho title of a new paper which will be issued early in January by Messrs. R. Edmund Belcher and EL Pre* ton Earle?these gentlemen having entered into partnership for that purpose. The Sun J will is discontinued, and the new paper will ] take its place. The Masonic fraternity were enjoying "re- I freshmenta" on Monday evening?tho occa- j sion being the election and installation of officers in Wynne Council, No. 4, Royal and Select Masten. An elegant supper was served in the Masonic Hall and the "iwlect" j and "faithful" were on hand. An excursion train from, the up-country j to Charleston on last Monday proved a fail- I ure, compared with the great success in Oc- ] tober. Not more than fifty or aixty passen? gers were aboard the train when it reached I . Ninety-Six, although the cars might have accommodated five or rix hundred. The Anderson Intelligencer stands upon its j record as a faithful sentinel and unfaltering I ' friend of the" people?the industrioui, the J worthy and the substantial elements of our j population. It never resorts to clap-trap or J humbug, and seoks to be jndged by its ac? tual merits?not upon vague and indefinite I promises. We regret to learn that R. W. Simpson, Esq., member of the House of Represent* - I tfves, has been compelled to return* home on I account of sickness. He ia suffering from a ] throat affection, which gives him much pain and uneasiness. Mr. Simpson ia an efficient and active member of the Legislature, and j his absence from tho House is sincerely re- I greeted by his colleagues and friends. We wish him a speedy recover}-. The revenue officers in this County have been actively engaged in the war upon whiskey wagons lately. On Saturday last, officer Grant arrested three persons charged with selling without license, and on Tuesday two other persons, whose names are un? known, WON arrested for the same offence. Christmas is near at hand, and these wagons are passing through the country to supply Christmas whiskey. They should be pre? vented from entering our County at all by the arrest and punishment of all who are guilty. On Saturday evening next the Carolina Minstrel Troupe will give one of their per? formances in the Masonic Hall at Belton, commencing at "i o'clock. Tho entertain? ment promises to be an interesting one. There will alao be an address from Col. W. D. "Wilkes, and an entertainment in tha way of Charades, on the following Tuesday eve? ning, nt the same place and hour. The com? pany of performers are residents of Belton, and those who attend will no doubt find tho address of Col. Wilkes instructive and the Performance pleasant. On Thursday, at the same place, there will be a Fair, given under the direction of Belton Division, No. 02, Sons of Temperance. The object of all these entertainments is a bcnovolcnt one, and we hope they will each meet with abundant success. The price of admission will be fifty cents on each evening. "..'EE ANNUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE GRAND LODGE A. F. K. The Grand Ledge of Ancient Freemasons of South Carolina held its annual commu? nication in the city of Charleston, beginning on Tuesday, 14th mst., at high twelve. The following officers were present: James A. Hoyt, Grand Mfister; Wilmot G. DeSaus? sure, Deputv Grand Master; B. W. Ball, Senior Grand Warden; Augustine T.Smythe, Junior Grand Warden- John H. Honour, Grand Treasurer; Charles Inglesby, Grand Secretary; Rev. W. S. Bowman, Grand Chaplain; Zimmerman Davis and W, H. D. Gaillard, Senior Grand Deacons; T. B. Hacker and J. A. Law, Junior Grand Dea? cons; A. Coward, Grand Marshal; B. J. Witherspoon, Grand Pursuivant; E. T. Westmoreland and D. T. Barr, Grand Stew? ards ; W. A. Wilson, Grand Tiler. One hundred and fifty-eight subordinate lodges were represented at the opening of the session, ana several other delegates were enrolled afterwards, making the fullest rep? resentation since the war. The annual address of the Grand Master was listened to with marked attention, and embraced a review of his official acts daring the past year, with suggestions for the con? sideration of the Grand Lodge upon impor? tant topics, inclc ding the subject of non? payment of dues, membership in more than oae Lodge, the Washington National Mon? ument, and other measures of interest to the craft. The Grand Master returned his sincere thanks to the craft for their uniform kindness and courtesy during his term of office,, and in closing his address declined a re-election. The address was referred to a committee of three, consisting of J. D. Ken h'jdy, O. L. Schumpertand W. A. Wardlaw. . The annual reports of the Grand Treas? urer, Grand Secretary, Hall Committee and Special Financial Agent were read and re? ferred to appropriate committees. These reports indicate that the finances of the Grand Lodge are steadily improving, exhib- j iting great assiduity on the part of the offi? cers in maintaining strict economy in ex? penditures and careful management of its resources, and sugjesting the hope that in a few years the financial affairs of the Grand Lxlge will be relieved from embarrassment and difficulty. Only a smell floating in? debtedness remains to be extinguished, and when this is accomplished, the interest on the bonded debt can be punctually paid, and a portion of the Masonic Temple itocfc re- J tired from year to year. The Grand Master announced the standing committees, whio>> ended the morning ses- j sion, when the craft were called flam labor j to refreshment. The evening session was occupied mainly in receiving reports of the J committees, to wkom were referred sundry J documents, and the reports of tie District Deputy Grand Masters, which wei referred J to the committee on jurisprudence The committee appointed last year to pre pare -resolutions upon the death'of Robert I Stewart Brans, Past Grand Master, submit-1 ted their report through the chairman, Wil- J mot G. DeSaussnre, and the ^solutions were unanimously adopted by a rising vote. I A circular from the committee of the Palmetto Guard Centennial Association was I read te the Grand Lodge, and on notion the I sum of $100 was appropriated is aid of the j monument proposed to be erected in honor I of the heroes of Fort Moultrie. j j The several amendments proposed at the I last annual communication wereacted upon, I and? sundry routine business .transacted, when the Grand Lodge was calLd off until 11 o'clock on Wednesday, 15th iist.

After the announcement b; the Grand Master of additional committee, the Grand I Lodge was called from labor t< refreshment until 7 o'clock p. m. The evening session on Wdncsday was quite interesting to the fratemiy as the able and elaborate report of .the Ommittee on jurisprudence elicited consideable discus sion, which was participated b by a num- I ber of prominent and mfluerial Masons. ] The report was taken up bisections and I duly considered, alter which 5twos adopted.
