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

ronage from the denomination it represents

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

cember at the age or about 40 years, of can?

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?

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!
