Some of our citizens sav that lt was decidedly the coldest snap we have had in several years. Sunduv, too. was a cold wet, disagreeable dav, but Monday morn ing dawned bright and clear. How long il will remain so, we will not venture to say The following list of letters remain un called for in the Anderson Postoffice De cember 12 : W. C. Bryson, Lash Birom, J A. Darby, Geo. Davis, Alice E. Ellington B. P. Kelly, W. L. M Bani, Tom Radford, Frank Roberts, Mrs. Caroline Reed, J. W. Singleton. J. C. Stribling, Mrs. Mary E Walker. Murk Williams, E. G. Warren, Samuel Williams. The boys are getting to be 0 nuisance at the Postoltlce during the opening and de livery of the mails. It is very annoying to a person while wailing there" to be jammed and shoved about, and his feet almost knocked from under him. as is the case al most every morning und night. It hait been suggested that thc presence of a police man might have a good effect. Our mails, especially the Western, arc very irregular at present. The Atlanta Constitution of Saturday morning did not reach us until Monday night, and verv often it takes a letter from that place three days to reach Anderson. We do not know who to blame with this matter, but believe if the postal clerks on the railroads were a little more careful our mails would be moro regulnr. The following officers have been elected to serve Belton Lodge, No. 130, A. F. M., tho ensuing year: L. E. Campbell, W. M. ; J. T. Gallanani, S. W. ; J. W. Erskine, J, W. ; A. R. Cox Treas. ; P. G.

The City Council have elected Mr. F. A. Spellman a special policeman at the depot, where he is night watchman. This is a step in the right direction. Heretofore persons so disposed could be as boisterous as they pleased without fear of being ar rested, knowing that there were no police man on duty there. Mr. Snellman, how ever, will take charge of all transgressors hereafter. The Abbeville /VMS and Banner of lusl week says: "We are informed that the officials of thc French Broad und Atlantic Railroad are now prepared and will soon place threo hundred hands on tho roud, two hundred to work from Edgefield, and one hundred from Aiken coming this way It is stated that one thousand three hun dred hands will soon be placed or tlie road, which is to be completed to thu place by the first of next July." Mr. Thomas Geer, who lived a few milo." southeast of Anderson, was stricken with uppoplexy on the 7th inst., from the effects of which he died in a few hours. Mr Geer was TO years of age. and bad beer totally blind for the last twenty years. He was a good citizen, und leaves many friend: and relatives to mourn their loss. Aftei funeral services, conducted by Rov. M McGee, his remains were placed to rest ir the Rice cemetery.

She did not believe at ?ll that her dark brown hood ra dark brown, but black, until sbo had compared it herself with a piece of black cloth, though her mother had told bor all along it was brown. And she didn't believe you could catch a robin, even if you did get the or.lt on ita tail. And she didn't boliovo but what if you judt kept on walking-walking walkiog, you would get to the end of the world siter awhile,-tho very eda? of the ond, where it stopped,-and noth ing was left but air lo step on. Shedid nut believe that was true at all, whit the big Cobb girl said, that you couldn't get to the end becauso there wasn't any end. She said she meant to start to walking hemelf some day and see. "You'll trait until you get through going to school, won't you?" asked her brother Ed. "I heard you say tho other day that you won't have Nellie get ahead of yuu for anything. But she will if you don't look out; she'll be clear through the eighth grade before you get even half way to the end of the world! Maybe she'll be through the seventh and into the sixth by tho time you get back. And then she'll be two gradeB ahead of you all the rest of your days." Violet could not help feeling rather worried al this dreadful prophecy of Ed's. "Perhaps it wouldn't take me as long as all that," she said. "I don't believe it would. Mut I guess I'll wait, any way. It makes me tired enough to walk ovei to Aunt Nancy'a-and of coarse the end of the world is a great deal farther than that. Bo I will wait till then. I'll be atronger then, I sup pose." "Yea," said Ed ; "and more sensible, let us hope. Hy then perhaps you won't be quite such a goosia. "Oh, I don't believe that," answered Violet, quickly. You see for yourself, don't you, bow unbelieving she was? Well, thia being so unbelieving was what got ber into trouble. Up to her very waist in trouble, as you shall see. Violet's folks lived in a mining ro gion, aud about two blocka from her home there was a great apace of ground, where the minera had been digging for copper ore. But they bad recently aban doned this claim, and they left it look ing like a pond with the water all dipped ont of it, a pond with a very muddy bottom. The mud was very deep in some parts, and I don't see why un der the sun the place waa allowed at all, especially in a town where such un believing iiltie ginn aa Violet Hired. But there (ras a rickety old fence around three sides of it, and on the other side waa the brouk from which the miners bad obtained their watei, so you see there was no danger of any one falling in ; and I suppose the inhabitants of that town never dreamed that any one would deliberately climb the fence and try to walk on tbe mud. That very thing happened, though ! Violet Swin ton tried to walk on that mud ; she didn't believe she would sink. You see, the bot sun shining on the mud, bad caused a thick crust to form on the top, and the heat bad also made the crust crack all over into what Violet called "dead little angles, squares and tbiogs, just like the teacher made on the black board." "This is a right-angle," abe said, cau tiously stepping between two cracka near the edge. "Thia ii a circle," taking another step, " 'cept it ain't round enough ; this ia a square and this is a" "O Violet 1 don't go any further," cried Nellie, who was looking on over the fence in great concern. "You'll sink in tbe mud, eure. Ed said thia morning; it wasn't safe." "Oh, pshaw! I don't believe it," aaid Violet, putting forward ber foot to etep on a right-angled triangle. "Thia ia a-what do-you call-it-a Oh my I lom sinking! I ami Obi Obi Oh! Nellie, come over and pull me out, quick !" Then poor little Nellie, who had done her best to keep Violet off from the mud, crawled through the fence, and tried to rescue her friend. But abe only sank herself-clear to the tops o fi her shoes. And there was Violet sinking deeper and deeper. She waa in over her knees already. "Let's scream," cried Nellie, franti cally, "let's acream like everything !" And then they screamed. Now, once in a while, acreamiug ia a very good thing; thia time it was. Fur the neigh bora carne, before the echo died, almost, it waa such a dreadful acream. And they pulled out Violet, juat aa abe had got to her waist io the mud, and Nellie wriggled herself out when she saw them coming. And Violet's mother took ber home, and gave her a bath, and put her to bed, aod scolded her and kissed her, and acoldcd her some more. And after awhile when Ed came in, Violet confi ded to him that "whether there waa any end to the world or not, abe didn't be lieve there waa any bottom to iL"-? Youth's Otmpanion.
