Three or four vehicles of the kind have been kept busy the past week. Christmas was exceedingly dull in An? derson. The cold weather kept everybody in doors, and the.days all seemed like Sun? days. The Carolina Collegiate Institute, Mrs. Murray's school for girls and Mrs. Ligon's school for children will all open on Monday next. Some of the young men from town had fine sport skating on Carwile's mill pond last week. The ice was three or four inches thick. Mr. Luthur Burriss and Miss Eliza Mc Murtrv were married at Salem Church on Thursday. 23d December, 1880, Rev. J. R. Earle officiating. There has been a general squaring up of accounts around town tkis week. Every body wants to commence the new year with a clean balance sheet.. Capt. Reno, Paymaster of the Air Line Railroad, paid a business visit to Anderson on Monday last.' He was favorably im? pressed with onr town. Sheriff McConnell began the year with eight prisoners, one of whom is serving out a sentence, the other seven awaiting trial at the February Court. The tax to the Savannah Valley and At? lantic and French Broad Valley Railroads must be paid by the 1st February. After that date the penalty will attach. Rev. Mike McGee united two couples in marriage on the 16th ult., to wit: Mr. John Haynie and Miss Lula Erskine and Mr. W. R. Ellis and Miss Christiana King. The pound party of the Sons of Temper? ance on the evening of the 28th ult., was a pleasant occasion for all who attended, ana especially for the young people. Col. Janes A. Hoyt, of GreenvUle, and Mr. J. 0. McDaniel, of Allatoona, Ga., with their families, spent the Christmas holidays with relatives in Anderson. Union Grove Division, Sons of Temper? ance, will meet at Bowling Green on next Saturday at 6 o'clock p. m., and all the members are requested to be present. The biggest tale about the cold weather we have yet heard is that told by a certain clerk in town, who affirms that the oil in his lamp froze while it was burning. The passenger train on the Blue Ridge division has been unable to make schedule time for the past few days in consequence of exhausting the supply of dry wood. Mr. Jacob M. WiggintonandMissNannic E. Moore, both of Piedmont, S. G, were joined in wedlock on Tuesday at the resi? dence of the officiating minister, Rev. Wm. Henry Strickland. The young men about Piercetown could not have their tournament and gander pulling last Thursday on account of the bad weather. They had the more time, how over, for sparking the girls. J. P. Sullivan & Co., at Sullivan's Corner, want their customers to remember that they keep the best groceries, etc., and that they sell for a short profit. Their new advertise? ment will appear next week. The Town Clerk will receive the Savan- \ nab Valley Railroad tax until the 1st Feb? ruary inclusive without any penalty, but j after that date a penalty of twenty per cent. I will be added to the amount. A colored man named Elias Hunter was shot in the hip on the evening of the 27th December by the accidental discharge of an old pistol he and another colored man were fooling with. The wouud is a slight one. Married, on the 23d of December, 1880, at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. Jane Osborae, by Rev. J. E. Carlisle, Mr. Herman T. Mengs, of Gainesville, Ga., to Miss Lizzie T. Osborae, of Anderson, S. C. Greenville is evidently the coldest place in the State, if not in the South. The ther? mometer registered 15 degrees below zero there on the morning of the 30th ult., while nt other places of the same latitude it was only 6 and 7. The Associate Grange of this County will meet at Hunter's Spring at 10 o'clock on Saturday, 15th inst. The subjects for dis? cussion are, "Improved Agricultural Im? plements" and "Preparation of Land for their Use." The Knights of Honor only got two gal? lons of fresh oysters for their annuaLanp per last night, and several of the members j were "down in the mouth" considerably about it yesterday. Nevertheless, they were all expecting a good time. Rev. J. T. Sweat, of Hampton Countv, has announced himself as a candidate for School Commissioner in that Connty at the election in 1882. He must like the business of electioneering, and means to make the man sweat who gets the office. We direct attention to the school adver? tisement of Mr. W. F. Cox. of Belton, which appears in this issue. Mr. Cox has had considerable experience as a teacher, and those who commit their children to his training can rely on it being well done. Bowling Green Grange meets next Satur? day at 2 o'clock p. m. Every member is requested to be present as matters of impor? tance will come before the Grange. P. R. Brown and M. E. Mitchell are requested to install the newly elected officers on that day. The new Board of Connty Commissioners met and organized on Tuesday by electing Mr. John H. Jones Chairman and John E. Breazeale, Esq., Clerk. The Board will meet again on next Tuesday for the purpose of electing a Steward and Physician for the Poor House. Persons who intend applying for certifi? cates to teach in the public schools of this County should remember that the Board of Examiners meet for the purpose of passing upon the qualifications of applicants on Friday, 7th instant, and close their session on the day following. The firm of Barr ?fe Co. has dissolved, Mr. Barr will continue business at the stand of the old firm, and in the course of a few weeks Messrs. J. P. and W. D. Brown will open out on their own account in the store? room between Cunningham & Co. and Moss & Brown on Mechanics' Row. Mr. John Lewis, the watchman nt the depot, was attacked on the night of Decem? ber 24th, while in a state of intoxication, by an unknown party and severely cut in tli3 face with some sharp instrument, evidently a knife. One of the gashes was through the left eye, the sight of which is entirely de? stroyed. County Treasurer McGukin is collecting the delinquent taxes, and begun issuing ex? ecutions against delinquents yesterday.? There are only about two hundred delin? quents on the tax books, and the amount of taxes due is $1,577, of which amount $414 is due from the Blue Ridge Railroad. This is the best showing for the County since the Five men sitting together in a store in town on Monday morning counted up 75 rabbits thev caught the day before, and four others in another store counted up 41 they had caught; and they all claimed they were not hunting, either. No one will doubt the first part of these statements, but the claim that they were not hunting will be credited by even "a very few of the most credulous. Mrs. Cvnthia H. Davis died at the resi? dence of her husband, Mr. B. A. Davis, in Savannah township, on last Friday after? noon, after a short illness. Mrs. Davis was an excellent lady, and was very much ad? mired by a large circle of friends, who sym? pathize with the bereaved ones over her death. Appropriate funeral services were conducted at the house on Saturday by Rev. W. A. Hodges, and the remains were in? terred in the Bethesda burial ground.

Moorhead, Librarian; Wm. D. Bewley, Asst. Librarian. The installation will take place this evening. The Associate Reformed Presbyterian, pub? lished at Due West, S. C, by Rev. Dr. J. I. Bonner, has donned a new dress, enlarged to an 8-page paper and in other respects greatly improved on what it used to be. It is a pleasure to note the signs of onr excel? lent neighbor's prosperity, and we hope it may continue to receive that degree of pat? ronage from the denomination it represents it so richly merits. It is one of the best re? ligious weeklies we know of. ? Mr. William Bolt, of Centreville town? ship, started to town with a load of cotton on Thursday evening. 23d nit., but from some cause or other had to leave one bale on the roadside a short distance from his place, where it remained until night, when it was stolen by some one and taken away. The wagon on which it was hauled off was tracked several miles to where it turned into a road that had been traveled a good deal, when it was lost. Though diligent search has been made, the cotton has not been found nor any clue to the thief obtained. Mr. Newton Scott died at his residence in this place on the night of the 22nd of De? cember at the age or about 40 years, of can? cer on the face, after a painful and protrac? ted, illness. He was a consistent member of the Methodist church, a good citizen, and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. His remains were interred in the Presbyte? rian graveyard with Masonic honors on the afternoon of the 23d ult.. after an impres? sive funeral service in the Methodist church by the pastor, Rev. J. E. Carlisle. A wife and four children, with other relatives and sympathizing friends mourn bis death. The Council had an interesting session of about two hours and a half on Tuesday af? ternoon, in which ten or twelve offen ders against the peace and dignity of the town were tried, convicted and fined, the aggre? gate amount of the fines reaching about $55. The usual Ordinance to raise supplies for the fiscal year beginning January 1.1881, was aiso passed, and will be found in another column. The tax levy is 15 cents on every hundred dollars worth of real and personal property. The Ordinance also provides for the publication by the Town Clerk, in one of the Connty newspapers, on or by the 15th February, 1881, of a statement showing the amount of personal property returned by each and every taxpayer of the town, and that all retnrns" roust be made on or before the 1st February. The winter thus far has been a hard one, and the weather for the past 10 days the coldest felt in many years. The ground has been covered with snow since Christmas morning, and the thermometer below freez? ing point nearly the whole time. On the night of the 28th and morning of the 29th six inches of snow fell, and on the night following we had the coldest snap experi? enced in this latitude in 25 or 30 years, and many say siuce the cold Saturday in Feb? ruary, 1835. The thermometer registered 6 degrees below zero on the morning of the 30th and'3 on the morning of the 31st, and many of the running streams were frozen entirely over. Both Seneca and Tugaloo rivers were covered with such thick coats of ice at Andersonville that they could not be crossed with ferry boats, while kerosene oil in lamps and vinegar in table cruets was solid. Little birds were found dead under their roosts, while the fowls about the yards refused to leave their houses. The snow of the 29th had melted very little up to the 1st instant, when another fell, and on Sunday morning it was eight inches deep. Since then it has been somewhat warmer, though it is still bitter cold, and even with big fires it is difficult to keep comfortable. How long the cold spell will last is a matter now that everybody in general, and those whose supply of wood is short in particular, is in? terested in. Death of Col. John Martin. Col. John Martin, one of the oldest and most prominent citizens of this County, died at his residence in Martin township o'n lost Wednesday, after p. lingering illness of several months. Col. Martin was born on the first day of September, 1793, within half a mile of the place he resided at the time of his death. He received only a limited English education, but was natu? rally a man of strong mind and excellent judgment. lie possessed great mechanical in? genuity, and could do anything in this line, although he never pursued it. As a young man he was very fond of hunting sports and in them became famous as one of the finest marksmen that this section has ever produced. He fought through the war of 1812 in Capt. Thompson's Company, and is believed to have been the last survivor of its members. He was a very popular man, and was very successful in elections. In 1832 he was chosen a member of the Legislature from this County. In 183G be was elected Ordi? nary, and in 1846 and 1854 was elected I Sheriff of the County. He alwa}'3 t?ok 1 great interest in the militia, and beginning as Captain of the Bear Creek Company lie became Major of the First Battalion and afterwards Colonel of the old Fourth Regi? ment, which position he held for many years. After the war; when the Commissioners were laying the County off into townships, they named the one in which he resided, Martin, for him. Col. Martin was always an active, benevolent, sociable man, and no one ever had warmer personal friends than be. He was upright and honorable in all of the transactions of life, and hence was respected by all who knew him. His re? mains were interred on Thursday in Ebe nezer Church-yard. A Letter from Alabama. Jacksonville, Ala., Dec. 22, 1SS0. Editor Intelligencer: Please find enclosed $1.50, renewal of my subscription to your paper. Although my destinies have long been cast with the people of this section of the South, and I have raised a family on the soil of Alabama, 1 yet have not lost niy love for old South Carolina or interest in her affairs. The County that I 1 ive in (Calhouu) is known as one of the hill counties of the State, or North Alabama, a contradistin? guished from the "black belt," or what is known as the cotton belt, or South Ala? bama. Though we do not live in the cot? ton belt proper, we have a good country for cotton, our best lands yielding as high as a bale to the acre, and our second best as much as half a bale to the acre. Our aver? age yield of corn is twenty bushels per acre. Some of our best bottom lands bring as high as sixty bushels per acre. Clover, small grain and the grasses do well. In fact, this is a natural stock raising country, a'ir ought to be to the cotton belt of Ala? bama what Tennessee and Kentucky is to the South. The country is splendidly watered, and there is no lack of power for machinery, and if capital were but directed in Ibis direction it would be a fine manu? facturing country as well. We already have one mammoth cotton factory that will commence operations about the Middle of March, and the erection of another is to begin immediately. The mineral wealth of the country is untold. East of us but thirty miles are rich copper and gold mines. West of us about the same distance arc ex? tensive and inexhaustible coal fields. Here we have the finest iron ore to be found in the South, including the rare and valuable ore known ns speigcl ore. In short, the possibilities of this county arc beyond cal? culation. Iron works abound along the line of railroad that runs through this county, the Woodstock Iron Company of this county being one of the finest in the South. Politically we are all right both as to State and County. Both are solidly Dem? ocratic. The white population in this part of the State are largely in the ascendancy, and we have goed officers, as will always be the case where there is a virtuous and intel? ligent constituency behind them. Pardon the length of this letter. I thought that perhaps a sketch of this coun? try might interest some of your readers. Respectfully, 1 Roirr. C. Hayms. UNDER THE SNOW. by john ii. boxer. This beautiful poem originally appeared in tha Salem (X. C.) Press. It is one of the most beautiful gems that we have encounturcd in many days, and Just now can be fully appreciated: The brown old earth lies quiet and still Under the snow; The furrows arc hid on the broken hill Under the snow; Every twig Is fringed with mossy pcail, The drooping cedars bead to the ground, The rosebush is drifted into the mound, And still from the silent sky to the ground The white flzkos noiselessly whirl. The roads and fields arc buried deep Under the snow; The hedges lie in a tangle-' heap Under the snow; And the little gray rabbits under them creep, While the twittering sparrows cunningly peep From the sheltering briers and cosily sleep Under the snow. The rough old barn and sheds near by, The mounded straws of the wheat and rye, Are covered with snow; The straggling fences are softened with down, Every part is white, with c beautiful crown Of drifted snow. And I think, as I sit in the gloaming here, Watching the objects disappear, How many things arc folded low Under the drift of the falling snow! There arc hearts tbat once were full of love Under the snow; There are eyes that glowed with the soul of love Under the snow; There are faded tresses of golden hair And locks that were bleached with the frost cf tare There are lips that once were like the rose, There arc bosoms that were stung with woes, There are breasts that one-: were true and strong, There are forms that once wen; raised in song? 0, there's a strange and mighty throng Under the snow: Another mound will once lie deep Under the snow! And i will with the pale ones sleep Under the snow. 0, God, transform my soul with grace That in the lovelight of thy faco I may stand pure when death shall place My pulseless heart and body low Underihc snow!
