To G. P. Tolly, Mayor. 1885." Y Tho Keowee Hotel at Seneca City is one of the best hotels in the State. It is a zeal pleasure to stop there. Mr. Frank Gary,, the accommodating manager, knows exactly how to. treat a guest. A large part}' of young ladies, and gen? tlemen of this city attended a dance at the Keowee Hotel in Seneca City last Monday evening. The young ladies were chaperoned, by Mrs. N; A. McCully. Capt.

Mrs. M. L. Trimtnier, who has been keeping a hotel at Due West for Borne time past, has routed the Waverly and will take charge of it immediately. Mr. W. J. Kclley's smokehouse, in Garviu township, was burned down on the night of Dec. 24, and its entire con? tents, about eight hundred pounds of pork and some other articles were consumed. It is supposed to have caught from smok? ing meat. While a party was out hunting on Monday last, Ben Collins, colored, was shot accidently by his son. The .shot grazed his back and tore away tho fleshy part of the left arm. Ben, was rather larger game than the party expected to get when they went out. Whilo target shooting on Christmas Day, in Savannah Township, Mr. W. F. M. Morgan shot Mr. John A. Williams through tho upper lip touching the teeth. Fortunately tho ball inflicted no other serious injury. Tho shooting was entirely accidental, and no blame is attached to Mr. Morgan in the matter. Married, by Rev.

The ordinance to raise supplies, and for interest and sinkir.g fund for Savanuah Valley Railroad bonds, for the year 1886, was passed by the City Council yesterday, and will he published next week.

Thore woro more than three thousand guesses at the number of the gold watcli offered by Mr. J. A. Daniols as a gift to bis customers. The number of tho watch was 720,200, and Mr. H. P. Hill was the lucky winuor, his guess, 720,370. being the nearest to it. Mr. Daniels gave him his choice between the watch and fifty dollars, and ho chose tho latter. Rov. J. W. W?lling returned borne on Tuesday afternoon from a visit to his father's family, whither ho was called last week by tho illness of his parent. Al? though he went as soon as ho ascertained his illness, his father was dead before he arrived. In this bereavement Mr. W?ll? ing has the sympathy of our ontiro com? munity. At a turkey shooting on Christmas Day at Broyles's giu house, in Fork Township, a white man named Eiup Wells had an altercation with a colored man named James Cromer, upon which Wells drew a derringer and shot ?t Cromor. The ball graced Cromer's face but took effect in the left shoulder of a little white boy named Lee Hubbard, eged about twelve years, and passed so near through the body as to be extracted below the shoulder blade. The wound is not considered dangerous. The shooting is said to have been without adequate provocation, and Wells is In jail awaiting trial. The Christinas soason just closing has been a most quiet and pleasant one in Anderson. The weather throughout has been clear and charming, and nothing has occurred to mar the pleasure of the week. The season has not been one of excessive gayety, but a quiet pleasure has pervaded the celebration of the Christmas festival. It is a noteworthy fact that there was less drinking than we have ever noticed on a similar occasion in Anderson. The year of 1SS5 is past and we are now entering a new year fraught with new duties and now responsibilities. The Intelligen? cer wishes its many readers a happy and prosperous new year. May tbd errors of the year that has passed be avoided and its successes be improved in that which is to come. The publication by the Greenville News of the rumor that Messrs. B. F. Crayton & Sons, of this city, had made an assign? ment on last Tuesday morning was promptly contradicted in the editorial columns of that paper on Wednesday. It is difficult to tell how such a rumor became current, for there are no more honorable, upright and thoroughly relia? ble men in the State than the members of this firm. They are large owners of val | uable real estate, and, even if temporarily embarrassed, would be able to save all their creditors harmless, and have a comfortable property left. The publica? tion of the rumor, although contradicted as fully and in as complimentary a man? ner as possible, is calculated to do these gentlemen an injury which our contem? porary should have avoided. A Pleasant Occasion. The "open session" of the Exochean Literary Society of the Anderson Female Seminary, on Wednesday evening, 23rd inst., was one of the most delightful oc? casions that we have attended in a long time. The exercises wero held in 'the .dining-room of the Seminary boarding house, and wero witnessed by an intelli? gent and appreciative audience. A tem? porary stage was erected in one end of the room, and around the walls were suspended several beautiful pictures, which were draped with holly and ever? greens. These, with tho happy, lovely countenances of the members of the So? ciety, presented a scene most beautiful. By request Rev. T. F. Gadsden opened the exercises with prayer, after which Miss Lois Watson, the accomplished Pres? ident of the Society, announced an in? strumental duet, "Fairy Tale3," by Misses Hattie and Carrie Hoke, assisted by their father, Col. C. F. Hoke, with tho violin. The following programme was then rendered: Reading, "Light-house Maid," Miss Carrie Moss. Vocal duet, "See the Pale Moon." Mrs. Ayer and Miss Blanche Goodman. Recitation, "Vashti," Miss Gray. Instrumental solo, "Polonaise," Miss Hanck. Essay on Tennyson, Miss Lillie Barr. Vocal solo, "Down the Rapids," Mrs. Ayer. At this juncture a number of the young ladies recited brief quotations from (Ten? nyson, after which the programme pro? ceeded as follows: Instrumentalsolo, "LaBaladine," Miss .Hattie Hoke. Recitation, "Parrhasius and the Cap? tive," Mrs. Spinner. Instrumental solo, "Last Rose of Sum? mer," Miss Verna Ayer. Reading, "Josiah Allen's Wife's visit to Astor's Tavern," Miss Daisy Brown. Instrumental duet from Faust, Miss Hattio Hope and Miss Verna Ayer. Recitation, "Bessie's Three Lovers," Miss Gray. Vocal solo. "Day is Done," Mrs. Ayer. At the conclusion of the programme, Mrs. Ayer, by request, sang that beauti? ful solo, "Ashamed of Jesus." It was a most interesting programme, and the particpants acquitted thomselves admirably. Every one present enjoyed the occasion, and no doubt they would be pleased to attend frequently similar en? tertainments. ? Tho IVock of Prayer.

Editor: It was my good fortune to bo present at another one of tho annual suppers of Toney Creek Division Sons of Temperance. This Society has boon in existence for nearly live years, and is composed of tho very best people of that section. They have a good hall of their own, and are well equippod for the work in every respect. On this occasion the hall was beautifully festooned with ivy and holly, showing tho handiwork of soino of the noble women of tho order. The Division wfta called to order at 4 o'clock by the \V. P., Mr. Ueiidetsoii. There were live applicants for admission, and they wero duly initiated, making in all twenty persons who liavo joined in tho last four weeks. After the regular busi? ness had been attended to Mr. L. P. Smith was invited to address the Division The \V. P. then announced that after an inter? mission of one hour tho ineinberj would reassemble tu partake of the supper. Du? ring the recess tho ladies wero busy pre? paring the table, which was spread in the middle) df the hall, reaching from one end to tho other. A ml such a table ! I shall not attempt a description. Suffice it to say that it was covered with everything calculated to tempt tbo appetite of the most exacting epicure. When all the arrangements were completed, the W. P. introduced Rev. W. D. Hiott, who deliv? ered a most earnest and forcible address, urging tho members to stand lirmly to their principles, and never surreudor to Alcohol. The members were then re? quested to remain seated, and a commit? tee of ten was appointed te serve them from the table. This was certainly an admirable arrangement, as the usual crowding incident to such occasions was avoided, and everybody was amply pro? vided for. After supper the table was cleared, and theu began the social feature, which was no doubt the most pleasant part of the entertainment to some of the young couples. During the evening an organ was procurod, and accompanied by tho violin some delightful music was furnished, adding very materially to the pleasure of tbe evening. Tho writer was compelled to leave before the party dis? persed, but left everybody happy, and all this without a singlo drop of liquor, which seems so indispensable to some gatherings. We take this occasion to thank the members of Toney Creek Di? vision for their kind invitation, and sin? cerely hope that they mrty all live to cel? ebrate a great many more such Christmas suppers. Visitor. A Card. Mr. Editor : Please allow mo space to return sincere thanks to the many friends whose gifts have cheered our hearts and brightened our home during the Christ? mas season; to the ladies of the Church particularly who surprised the pastor's pocket-book with nearly a hundred dol? lars in gold.

No man can see Peru without wonder? ing at its grandeur, tho industry and tho intelligence of the Inca Empire. They had arts which the world knew nothing about, knowledge which no othor people possessed, thrift which their conquerors could not imitate, and wealth which made them tbe pre}' to every adventurer of tho sixteenth century, their temples and palaces were built of hewn stono from quarries that the Spaniards had not been able to discover, and the moans by which they lifted blocks of granite, weighing hundreds of tons, is a problem no antiquarian has been able to solve. The great genius and Herculean strength and long life, sonic living to be nearly two centuries old ; is duo to the fact that they used no other stimulants or medi? cines, except the divine coca plant, which they believed possessed supernatural powers over all ills that flesh is heir to. Science and experiments of medical men prove tho coca plant to bo possessed of marvelous and wonderful tonic and invig? orating properties. Pcinbcrton's French Wine Coca, is prepared from I ho same coca plant which those peoplo nse.l, and is making wonderful cures in all sections of the county.
