Langston, of Murray County, Ga., is in the city visiting rela? tives. A number of the young gentlemen of the city spent their Chi ist mas away from home. The number of rabbits in the Connty has considerably decreased during the past week Politics have about played out. It Is very seldom you ever bear tbem men? tioned on the streets. Col. James A. Hoyt and family, of Greenville, spent Christmas in the city with friends and relatives. It is but natural that girls who use powder should wear bangs. Bangs al? ways foRow the use of powder.

Smith, jr., of Greenville, ac? companied by- his charming wife, spent the holidays with his parents in Ander? son. We have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. T. R.

A receipt is going the rounds of the press for tanning hides with salt and alnm. These may be very good, but Prof. L-taught us a few years ago that oil of birch was better. Despite the bad weather, improvements are still going on in portions of the city. The contractors anticipate having all the work they can attend to during the com? ing Spring and Summer. Five hundred dollars for one pair of shoes seems a high price, but it was paid recently by one of the society belles of New York city. They were of satin, and were embroidered with pearls.

The Spar tan bu rg Spartan last week con? tained four marriage notices, over which was the caption "Obituary." We pre? sume Mr. Petty, the clever editor, is a married man, and knows, perhaps, how it is himself. A Pittsburg woman shot and killed a man in that town last week because she "loved him." It is pleasant, no doubt, to be loved, but this business of having it shot into a fellow is accompanied by its its disadvantages. , Capt. Billy Smith, the accommodating Conductor on the B. R. R.

Y., is a 64-page pamphlet, that tells all about growing Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Grapes, Ac., both for fami? ly use and market.

On the fourth page of this paper will be found the piospectuses of Harpers' peri? odicals. If any of onr readers contem? plate subscribing to any literary journals for 1885, we would commend these publi? cations to them. They are worth every cent of the subscription prices to any family. Our Senior received a private letter the other day from a friend in Arkansas en? closing another year's subscription for the Intelligencer. He concludes bis letter by saying that if a man has a home of his own in Anderson County, he is a lunatic if he sells it to go West. He also says the West is a humbug. List of letters remaining in the Post office for the week ending December 31: Thomas Cannon, Stuart Dickson, Mrs. Laura Earb?, Enoch Ivens, Brooks Jami? son, T. N. Parsons, Nora Scott, W. L. Sherer, Thompson, Kent/. & Campbell, Capt. S. J. Warren, Mrs. E. J. Wilson, Mru. Willie Wilson. We direct the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Messrs. T. R. Trimmier & Co., successors to C. A. Reed, Agent. When you need any groceries give them a call. They sell at short prof? its, and deliver all goods at your door free of charge. They keep at the old stand of Means, Cannon & Co., Main street. By reference to a notice in another col? umn, it will be seen that Mr. B. F. Gen? try Is the lucky winner of the gold watch offered by Mr. J. A. Daniels as a Christ? mas present. The number of the watch is 32,835, and Mr. Gentry guessed 33,078, which was the closest guess made. The watch is a beautiful one, and is a valua? ble gift. The City Council at a meeting on Wednesday, the 31st of December, elected Mr. F. A. 8pellman a member of the City police, in the place of Mr. R. F. McKinney, resigned, and also elected Mr. J. L. Ar? nold, Jr., as an additional member of the force. Mr. W. H. Blackman was elected as a member of the force in the event Mr. Spellman does not accept As was noticed in the list of appoint* ments published last week, Rev. J. W. W?lling has been assigned by his Confer? ence to the pastorate of the Anderson Methodist Church for another year. This is very gratifying, not only to Mr. W?ll? ing^ own congregation, but to his many friends throughout the cityT He will occupy his pulpit next Sunday morning at the usual hour. Next Monday is Salesday, and there will no doubt be a large crowd of people in the oity. We have printed an extra ' snpply of receipts especially for that day, j and we hope those of our friends who have not yet secured one will call and get one. We don't want to strike off any person's name, bnt we will be compelled to do sojif their subscription account is not Bottled in a few days. Mr. Joel Cox's store, [n Honea Path township, was burglarized on Tuesday night of last week, and considerable amount of groceries stolen. On the same night Messrs. Cox & Poore's store, at To ney Creek, in Belton township, was broken into. .There was only thirty-five cents in the money drawer, and the bur? glar took it. No goods were taken, or at least none have been missed. Prof. Pharazyn began a series of sleight of-hand and gift entertainments in the Masonic Hall last Tuesday evening. De? spite the inclement weather he was greet? ed by a fair audience, and all seemed de? lighted with the entertainment. The Professor does some very clever tricks, and aside from his gifts his show is worth the admission price. His leading gift on Tuesday night was a lady's gold watch, which was drawn by our "Devil," Master Charles Abel. A gold watch is given away at every performance. All of his presents are useful, and are not of cheap jewelry. He will remain in the city sev? eral nights. We beard a farmer say the other day that he had made more money ont of his ! rice crop the past season than he bad out of his cotton crop, and he plants consid? erable cotton, too. There are several far? mers in our County who have been try? ing rice growing on a small scale during the past three or four years, and they have made a success of it. We are glad to see this, and we hope others will try the experiment Some of these gentle? men are increasing their area every year, and they say it is no longer an experi? ment, but an established fact that a very superior rice can be grown in Anderson County. We would like for some of these gentlemen to give our readers informa? tion about rice culture, its cost, the prob? able yields and the profits from the crop. Christmas In Anderson. The Christmas holidays passed off very pleasantly and quietly in this city. In? deed, it is a common remark that it was the quietest Christmas ever experienced here. There was less drunkenness and rowdyism than we have ever noticed be? fore. Mayor Tolly had forbidden any display of fireworks on the streets, but as it was cloudy and misty, everything being damp, he rescinded the order on Thurs? day, and the boys began popping crack? ers, which was kept up until Saturday night. The weather remained cloudy du? ring the whole week, and at times it was very disagreeable outdoors. The usual turkey dinners were freelj' indulged iu. The stores and workshops remained closed during Thnrsday, Friday aud Sat? urday, and at times the streets presented a Sunday appearance. Everybody seem? ed to be in good humor, and no accident occurred to mar the pleasures of the occa? sion. Christmas of 1884, with all of its pleas? ant anticipations, its hopes and its fears, has passed, and now we are beginning to fight life's battles through 1385. The past year has been one of sorrow to some and one of happiness to others. Look around yon and see what changes have occurred. Look at your ownself and see whether you have been the cause of sorrow or happiness. This life is what we make it, and if we all could only realize that "it is not all of life to live, nor all of death to die," how much better each and every one would be. While we are plodding along the weary months of 1885, let us re? member the above quotation, and when next Christmas comes may we all be able to look back upon the year of 1885 with no regrets to mar the bright anticipations of the future. A Card. Mr. Editor: Please give through your paper the following notice: All persons holding claims against the newly built M. E. Church will please present them for settlement to the Treasurer of the Board of Trustees. B. F. WiTHEnsrooN, Secretary and Treasurer. For a good smoke, buy Wilhite'a Lead? er Cigar. i A Narrow EsCtfpo. On Christmas Eve night, between 11 anil 12 o'clock, a little colored boy named Charley Green was passing along in front of Mr. J. AT. McConnell's store, in the Waverly House building, and noticed that the interior was on fire. He prompt? ly yelled "fire," and was immediately ac? costed by a policeman, who, thinking he was trying to got up a little Christmas fun, started to the guard-house with him. No evidence of fire could be seen, but as the boy was so positive that the interior of the store was burning, the policeman made an examination, which at once con? vinced him that it was true. The alarm was given, and a crowd soon gathered. The door was broken open, but a? there was so much smoke inside it was with difficulty that any ono could enter. The brave men realized, however, that no time was to be lost, and inside they went. The fire was burning near the ceiling, about midway of the East side of the room, and had already consumed several pieces of goods, which were on the shelves. Some began immediately to extinguish the flames, and others began carrying out goods. Plenty of water was secured from the cisterns on the Court House Square, and it was not long before the fire was put out. It is not known how the fire originated. All the goods on that side of the room were moro or less damaged. Mr. McConnell represents his loss to be about $2,000, which is fully covered by insu? rance. A portion of the shelving and the ceiling were also damaged. Ander? son seems to be exceedingly fortunate in having narrow escapes from serious con? flagrations. Our bucket brigade is better than an ordinary steam engine for apply? ing water to a fire. The Market.

Oglethorpe, Macon Co., Ga., Aug. 25, 1SS4.?When a young man of twenty-five years I took mercury in pills and was exposed to the weather, being a railroad man. The result was salavatiou and the poisoning of my whole system with mer? cury. I suffered untold misery for years. Some few years ago I broke the skin on my right leg, and the poison in my blood produced an ulcer, from which I suffered somuchpain that amputation was regard? ed necessary. But instead of having the operation performed I commenced taking S. S. S. The ulcer has entirely disap? peared, and no symptom of the blood Eoison left. I am in better health than I a ve been for years, and I have no hesi? tancy in Baying that it is the best blood purifier in the world. I know whereof I speak, as I have giveh many of them a fair trial. I honestly believe that S. S. S. has added ten years to my life. J. H. Morgan. Painful Ulcers. My mother, who is about seventy-five years old, and a resident of Dooly Coun? ty, had an ulcerated ankle which gave her great pain and trouble. It became aggravated to a fearful degree, and every application of known or suggested reme? dies failed to bring reliet. Physicians prescribed, but to no avail. After six months suffering I induced her to try S. S. S. One bottle had the remarkable effect of producing a perfect cure, and there has been no return of the disease. P. H. crumple!*, Of the South Ga. Conference. Macon, Ga., July 14, 1884. Cancer of Many Years. A family servant has beon afflicted for many years with a cancer on her nose, aud was treated by some of the best physicians, and the old remedies used without benefit. Finally wo gave her Swift's Specific, and she has been com? pletely cured. John Hill, Druggist. Thompson, Ga , Aug. IG, 1S84. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free. The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. Health is impossible when the blood is impure, thick, and sluggish, or when it is thin and impoverished. Under such con? ditions, boils, pimples, headaches, neu? ralgia, rheumatism, aud one disease after another is developed. Take Ayor's Sar saparilla, and it will make the blood, pure, rich, warm and vitalizing.
