Cliukscales is one of the efficient teachers in the Methodist Sunday School, and on Christmas morning his class presented him with a fine Bible and concordance.

Robin? son, Trial Justice, Mr. J. H. Bigby, of Abbeville County, and Miss E. E. Ashley, of Anderson. Also, by the same at his residence, on the same day, Mr. S. J. Par neU and Miss Eugenia C.

On Wednesday night preceding Christ? mas the Masons indulged in an oyster supper at White's Hotel. We were an in? vited guest, and while we knew nothing abont their signs and grips, we are confi? dent we demonstrated the fact that we knew something about oysters. The oysters were served in three ways, and were excellently prepared. It was a most pleasant occasion. The firm of Cunningham, Fowler & Cooley has been dissolved, the"two latter named gentlemen having withdrawn. Mr. Cunningham has formed a partner? ship with his brother, Mr. R. C Cunning? ham, under the firm name of Cunning? ham Bros., who will continue business at the old stand. Both these gentlemen are well known, and deserve a liberal patron? age. Mrs. Lucinda Hammond, mother of Mr. D. H. Hammond, of Piercetown, died at her home in Brushy Creek Township on Friday, 24th December, after a long and painful illness. Mrs. Hammond was an excellent lady, and her death is deeply regretted by many friends. Sho was a consistent 'member of Pisgah Baptist Church. Her remains were interred at Sbiloh Church on the day after her death. The officers of Williamston Lodge, No. 24, A. F. M , were publicly installed in the Chapel of the Williams ton Female.

Anderson Circuit, at New Hope, January 27. Piedmont, at ShPoh, January 29 and 30. Pendleton, at Willis Chapel; Februa ary 19 and 20. Anderson Circuit, at Ra hams, March 11,12 and 13. Christmas, 1888, is numbered among the occasions of the past, and a quieter or more pleasant Christmas was never known in Anderson. The weather, after the rain on Christmas Eve, promised to be on its good behavior, and the promise was weU kept for a week. The air was cool and bracing, just the sort to aid in digesting turkey dinners. Business in the oity was suspended until Thursday morning following Christmas Day, and everybody, we believe, enjoyed the rest. Miss Elizabeth Murray died at the resi? dence of her brother, Rev, J. S. Murray, in this city, on Monday, the 27th of De? cember, from apoplexy, with which she was stricken on the preceding day, Miss. Murray was a native of Virginia, and was in her sixty-second year at the time of her death. Her remains were interred in the Baptist cemetery on Tuesday, after the funeral services of the Episcopal Church, which were conducted by the Rev. T. F. Gadsden, the Rector of Grace Church.

Other appointments for Trial Justices will be made as the terms of the present incum? bents expire. Mr. J. S. Fowler, in addition to his livery and sale business, has opened a general grocery business in the Intelli? gencer store room, on Whitner street, where he can supply family groceries at the cheapest rates, and also stock food of every kind. He delivers goods to pur? chasers in any part of the city. He also sells buggies, carriages, wagons and har? ness. He is one of the most progressive and successful! of Anderson's business men, and we have no doubt that he will succeed admirably in his new business. About twenty of Anderson's young me^-a^ent the holidays away from home, the majority of them, we presume, put? ting in their time courting. All of them express themselves as having had a most 1 pleasant time. Since their return home they have spent the evenings trying to drive away the "blues" by giving in their experiences. One says the "old man" put him to milking the cows, another says he fed the horses and made fires, and another says he proved clearly to his pros? pective mother-in-law that he was a good nurse, as he nursed the baby frequently while she was busy with her household duties. A dispatch to the Greenville Ncivs from Honea Path, dated December 30, says: ?'Alexander Austin, a seventeen-year old son of John H. Austin, accidentally shot and killed himself [yesterday while out hunting. He and some other hoys had found a squirrel up a tree. Young Aus? tin fired at the squirrel and missed it. He was going backward to get another shot at it and fell over a log- His gun ac? cidentally discharged, the contents taking effect in his neck just under the chin, killing him instantly." Mr. James B. Carpenter died at his res? idence near this city on Wednesday even? ing, December 22nd, of heart disease. He had been afflicted with this disease for sev? eral months, but was not confined to his room until three or four weeks prior to hin deal It. He passed away while sitting in his chair. M r. Carpenter was about 47 years of age, and in every respect an ex? cellent citizen, who was highly esteemed by mauy friends. His remains wore in? terred at Neal's Creek Church with Ma? sonic honors, Rev. W. H. King conduct? ing the funeral services. Mr., Carpenter leaves a wife and four children to mourn his death. Messrs. S. D. Brownlee and E. W. Brown, jr., have formed a copartnership, under 'the firm name of Brownlee & Brown, and have opened business in the storeroom formerly occupied by Brown Bros., just below the Masonic building. They will handle staple and fancy groce? ries, confectioneries, tobacco and cigars, which they propose selling at bottom prices. Their stock will be kept complete, and everything guaranteed pure and fresh. These young gentlemen are full of energy, and we predict for them a suc? cessful career. Mr. Frank Bigby is with Messrs. Brownlee & Brown, and will be pleased to have his friends call upon him. Look out for their advertisement next week. Mr. Frauk A. Bleckley, eldest brother of our townsman, Mr. S. Bleckley, who lives near Clayton, Ga., has sent us a fine sample of his tobacco crop. Mr. Bleckley is the reporter for Rabun County for the Agricultural Department of Georgia, and plants, experiments and reports to the Department his success from year to year. Last year he tried the culture of tobacco, the seed having been furnished him by the Department, and on seven-eights of an acre he made about 1,000 pounds of very fine tobacco, which he is now selling at from 25 to 75 cents per pound, according to quality. He has built a house for curing tobacco under the modern plan, and finds it to work well. The crop out of the seven-eights of an acre will likely net him $350. The extreme cold weather did not pre? vent a fair audience from assembling at the Masonic Hall last Monday evening to enjoy the musical entertainment given by our home talent. The programme con? sisted of vocal and instrumental music, rendered in an admirable manner, and selections by the Young America Band. The participants were Misses Leila White, Jessie Trowbridge, Nellie Trowbridge, Dr. E. C. Frieraon, Messrs. J. G. Cunning? ham and R. C. Cunningham. Mias Mag? gie Williams presided at the piano, and fairly captivated the audience by the ex? cellent manner in which she performed her part. The inimitable Miller cousins, George, Julius and Joe, in their character songs and dances, with Miss Nettie Miller at the piano, took the audience by storm, and the encores were loud and prolonged. Throughout the entertainment was a most enjoyable one. Mr. A. M. Holland, one of the leading citizens of the lower portion of this Coun? ty, died suddenly on last Tuesday after? noon at about 3 o'clock from apoplexy, at the age of 63 years. Mr. Holland with Mr. H. B. Major were superintending the cutting of some trees in Mr. Holland's yard, near his new house in Savannah Township, and were holding a rope to control the direction in which one of the trees should fall, when he fell dead in an instant. Mr. Holland was for a number of years engaged in merchandise in An? derson before the war, and for many years past has been engaged in farming and merchandise at Holland's Store, near Sa? vannah River, in this County. He was upright, courteous and highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was a fine merchant and succeeded admirably in business. His remains 'will be interred in Generostee cemetery this morning. In his death the County loses a valuable cit? izen. It was our pleasure to witness the per? formance given by the Belton D/amatic Club at Belton in Stringer's Hall on Mon? day evening, December 27th. The pro? gramme consisted of a very interesting drama, in two acts, entitled "Above the Clouds," followed by a farce, in one act, entitled "Poor Pillicoddy.'' We will not attempt to criticise the characters, for fear of doing them au injustice. Suffice it to say there was not a poor character in the caste. Each one sustained his or her character in a manner that would have done credit to many professionals. The Hall, which is a good-sized one, was filled to its utmost seating capacity by a very appreciative audience, which was com composed of representatives from Ander? son, Williamston, Houea Path, Due West, in addition to those present from Belton and surrounding country. It was a most pleasant entertainment, and every one who attended no doubt felt amply repaid. Belton should be proud of her amateurs. Should we ever have another opportunity of witnessing their appearance on the stage we shall certainly ayail ourselves of it. Holland's Store Items. Rev. B. M. Pack will preach at Shlloh next Sunday at 11 o'clock a. m. The members are expected to be present, as business of importance will be attended to. Every one who can do so should be present. Mr. Pack is an entertaining and earnest speaker. Rev. A. M. Attawy, the new preacher for the WeBt Anderson Circuit, has moved into the parsonage at Holland's Store, and will preach his first sermon on next Sun? day at 3 o'clock p. m. Rev. J. P. Ander? son, the former pastor, carries the best wishes of his congregation to his new field of labor. A man calling himself Wilson passed through this neighborhood a few weeks ago peddling on sewing machines. He sold one, or part of one, and promised to send the missing parts by mail, giving the lady a due bill and signing his name J. A. Wilson. Well, to make a long story short, Wilson has not been heard of Bince, except that his name is not Wilson but Thurkill, and that he lives at Port Madi? son, S. C. He certainly Is a rascal of the first water, and we think that if Ananias was alive to-day that he would turn the cake over to Thurkill. He imposed on every oue he came in contact with, and the person who had the least to do with him came out best. Our advice to every one is the first thing to do for such an im? postor is to show him the road, and if he fails to take the hint, hurry him up by a little shoe leather properly administered. The Christmas holidays passed off qui? etly. There was less drinking than any previous year of our recollection. Con? siderable hunting was indulged in by the Nimrods of our community, bringing In more or less game every day. Wild geese have been quite numerous on the Savan? nah this winter, and furnished fine sport, but few of them have been bagged. Mr. W. A. Holland has moved, and is opening out his new goods. Way man needs no commendation at our hands. To know him is to give him a share of your patronage. He keeps first-class goods, and will duplicate any bill pur ! chased In Ibis County, j Mr. J. T. C. Jones has bought a lot at Cross Roads Church and expects to erect a store at that point at an early day. Mr. [ Jones has been running a country store I for some years, and has been quite suc? cessful. He intends entering more large? ly in business at his new stand. Our record for 1886 has closed, ami it is a proper time to take a retrospective view of the past. Have we done our duty? Have we contributed to the joy of any one? Have we solaced any one whose future is more dark and rugged than our own ? Have we given our time in a man? ner that will reflect to our advantage? One thing is certain, our eternal welfare will be affected one way or the other by what we have dono and by what we have not done in the year of 1886. God help us all to do better in the year we are just en? tering than in the one that has closed. Burke. Stony Point Items. Christmas, with its customary sports and general rejoicing has passed off quietly, and has brought to every one more or less pleasure and happiness. The old, as well as the young, have enjoyed themselves by meeting around the festal board of some neighbor, and after par? taking of a bountiful repast, they would discuss subjects of general interest per? taining to the farm and other rural mat? ters. The yonng people have acted in a highly creditable manner also, by attend? ing social parties, dinners, musical enter? tainments etc., leaving off dancing in almost every instance. Your correspondent with other invited guests, had the pleasure of attending a family reunion at Mr. W. D. Gray's during the 'holidays. After feasting upon the many good things of the season, we were treated to some fine music, both vocal and instrumental, by the young people pres? ent. At a late hour we bid our generous host and family adieu, wishing them many returns of the happy occasion. Mr. J. L. T?te and Mr. W. H.McPhail, iave gone to Florida on a tour of inspec? tion. They will travel over the different sections of the State and will be absent twelve months or more. We wish them a safe and pleasant journey through the '?Land of Flowers." Miss Nannie Harkness, of the Storeville section, has recently returned from Texas, where she has been visiting relatives and frienda. She was accompanied by her sister, Mrs. John Harper, who removed to "1exas several years ago. This is Mrs. H< .per's first yisit since she removed to the Lone Star State, and it affords her relatives and friends much pleasure to welcome her back in their midst again. She will spend several months with her relatives and friends before returning to her home in the west. An itinerant showman, who claims to be an Indian, has been plying his voca? tion in this, and the southern portion of the County for several months past. He is accompanied by a monkey, "coon" and Magic Lantern outfit; lodging with whites and colored with equal temerity and complacency. This dual mode of living and acting, is an imposition upon the better class of the community, and should be stopped, and our social statue maintained. The year 1886 has gone, and it will be long remembered for its floods, earth? quakes and other disasters. But like Jenny Lind, the noted songstress, it makes us sad to part with it, for it is like parting with some old friend, and now, with sor? row we bid it farewell, and with joy we welcome the new. Omega. Wllllamston Correspondence. Our town is looking up in the way of new comers, and still we have room for more. Mr. Adams, of Grove Station, moved his family into Williamston for the benefit of our College. He is one of a dozen or more gentlemen living in our town and carrying on business success? fully in Pelzer. If the Cumberland Gap Railroad proves the success we hope for, our two towns may yet spring into one extensive business place. Mr. Brooks, of Greenville, adds one more family to our new citizens, also Rev. Mr. Betts is now moving into the new Parsonage. Mrs. Maberry, of Canada, will soon take possession of the corner house on Pelzer street, where she will continue her busi? ness as Mantua Maker. Her fine [taste and experience in that line, with the latest Paris styles always on hand, has won for her a large patronage from both of our towns. Her daughter, Miss Edna Maberry, is spending some time pleasantly with friends in Greenville. Dr. Lander, Prof. J. Lander, Mrs. Rogers and others returned from Con? ference on Tuesday, after spending a happy old time in the annual reunion of their church. All are pleased to know that Mr. John? son will continue to run the Hotel next year. His pleasant manner and splendid accommodations give general satisfac? tion. Christmas morning dawned beautiful and bright, bringing sunshine to many a merry heart. The turkey dinners, Christmas trees, charades, grab bags and "Santa Claus" in general, takes the day. The skating rink is having a perfect jubilee in the Hall of the new brick store, while the colored band is discoursing sweet music up and down the streets, fol? lowed by little chaps of every size, color and style. We notice on our streets Master Earnest DuPree, just from Due West. He is an intelligent, sprightly little fellow, and says Due West can boast of twenty odd little boys in the preparatory department of their Female College. Wish our little boys could meet with such good luck. _ A. P.N. A Card. Many thanks to the ladies of the Pres? byterian Church for their kind thought fulness in sending a Christmas present, very valuable, to the Pastor. County Farmers, Meeting. The meeting of the Farmers appointed for the 10th inst. in the Court House at 11 o'clock will take into consid cation the Acts of the Legislature at its recent session, with such other matters as will be brought up.
