Last Monday afternoon, Walter McFall, a 14-year-old son of Dr. J. T. McFall, of I ;his city, met with a most painful though, it is hoped, not serious accident at the Savannah Valley Railroad turntable. "The train hands were engaged in turning the I engine, and Walter was assisting them, when he was caught between the table and a post, which stood on the inside of the embankment' that surrounds the table. His right thigh was painfully bruised, and, it is feared, bis spine is injured. Miss Charlotte Rimmer, who has been engaged as a teacher in the Anderson Fe? male Seminary for the past four months, leaves to day for Bridgeport, Conn. Miss Rimmer is a native of Austria, and has resided in America only a year or two. She will spend a year or two more in this country, and will then return to her na? tive land. She is a most accomplished lady, speaking fluently four or five lan? guages, and as a musician she has few equals. Her friends in Anderson wish her a pleasant and safe trip to her destina? tion. The Young America Cornet Band, of this city, have made arrangements with the P. R. & W. C. Railroad to run an ex? cursion from Anderson and all stations along the Savannah Valley Railroad to Augusta, Ga., on next Tuesday, 27th inst. The train will leave Anderson about 6 a. m., and return that evening, giving nine hours iu Augusta. .The fare for the round trip from Anderson is $2.00; from Dean, Starr and Cook's, $1.90; from LowndesviUe, Latimer and Hester, $1.80; fromMt. Carmel and Willington, $1.75; from Bordeaux, $1.G5. It will be a pleas? ant trip, and those of our people who would like to visit Augusta should avail themselves of this opportunity. Tickets must be purchased on or before Monday. There is,considerable complaint among a number of the taxpayers of the city in reference to the action of the City Council in continuing the stroet tax at $1.00 per capita. We think, too, the Council have made a mistake by so doing. Two dollars per head is sufficient. The present tax is a burden upon the laboring class, and will tend to decrease our population. We should do everything to encourage people to settle in the corporate limits of the city, for we need a larger population. Tako a man who has two or three boys over six? teen years of age, and it is a great hard? ship for him to pay $4.00 on each one. We want to see good streets and side? walks, but they should be kept in good condition by taxing those who are able to pay. The members of Hiram Lodge, No. 68, A. F. M., with a few invited guests, en? joyed a most delightful oyster supper on Monday night last. It was the regular evening for the meeting of the Lodge, and as a festival of some sort is generally in? dulged in at this meeting, there was a full attendance of the members. Tho Lodge finished its business by 9} o'clock, at which hour the members repaired to the residence of Mrs. L. M. Aver, on McDuffie street, where the supper was served. Ar? riving at tho house, the members with their guests wero at once ushered into tho spacious and brilliantly lighted dining room, and after grace was said by Rev. A. A. Marshall, tho feast began. The oysters were served in various ways, and were most oxcellently prepared. When all had stowed away as many of jthe delicious bivalves as possible, speech-making -was announced to be in order, and Messrs. J. L. Tribble, G. F. Tolly, Rev. A. A. Mar? shall, C. C. L?ngsten, Dr. R. F. Divver, W. S. Brown, Dr. P. A. Wilhite, J. B. Lewis, J. E. Breazeale, II. M. Ayer, R. S. Hill and D. S. Taylor wero called on, nearly all of whom responded in a few appropriate remarks. A most pleasant hour was speut listening to theso im? promptu speeches, and be/ore adjourning tbe Lodge, by a rising vote, tendered Mrs. Ayer its thanks for the elegant manner in which she had served the supper. Entertainment at Belton. The citizens of Belton and community are destined to enjoy a raro treat in the way of a theatrical entertainment on next Tuesday evening, 28th inst., in Stringer's Hall, when the Belton Dramatic club will appear in a highly entertaining drama, '?Bread on the Waters," to be followed by a most amusing and laughable farce, "Damon and Pythias." Tho reputation of this club is sufficient to guarantee a first-class entertainment, and as the pro? ceeds are to be donated to a worthy object, .(the building fund of the now Baptist Church) we bespeak for them a liberal patronage.

C, Dec. 20th, 1887.?Pur? suant to a call published for a Reunion of the surviving soldiers of the Confederacy in Anderson County, a meeting was this day held in the Court House. On motion Gen. W. W. Humphreys was called to the chair, and W. H. Nardin to act as secretary. Gen. Humphreys, in a brief way, stated the objects of the meeting, and suggested that the inclemency of the weather preventing a full meeting, that a permanent organization be deferred until some day in the near future that would, in the opinion of those present, be most acceptable and favorable to the success of the undertaking, and declared the meet? ing ready for business. On motion of Maj. B. F. Whitner it was Resolved, That a committee be appointed, of whom the chairman of this meeting shall be ex-officio chairman, to report a plan of permanent organization, with constitution and by-laws, to an adjourned meeting, to be held on Salesday in Feb? ruary next, at 12 o'clock m., in the Court House.

Nakdin, Secretary. "It is More BIOHsecl to Give than to Re? ceive." "When thou makest a dinner or a sup? per, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor ?iy rich neigh bours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt bo blessed ; for they cannot recom? pense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just." As tbe Christmas holidays are near at hand, when it is customary to give expen? sive dinners and suppers, extending in? vitations to our friends only, it is well enough for us to observe the directions as given in the Scripture quoted above, by Him whose glorious advent we are soon to celebrate. Of- course we do not under? stand our Lord to mean to prohibit our making dinners and suppers, or to pro? hibit us from calling our friends and neighbors, but that our hospitality must not be confined to them alone, but that we must be actuated by a broad Christian liberality that takes in the poor, the un? fortunate, the needy, who cannot reward us. Let us all for one time, (if we have nev? er done so before,) hunt out each and every individual in our midst and give them some evidence of our knowledge of them and love for them. And give them to understand that tbey are not to be ignored and neglected, but as they wero kindly remembered by the Master, so will they over be by we who are His ser? vants. And I dare say that all who thus exercise themselves in behalf of those who are less favorably circumstanced iu life than themselves, will realize "that it is more blessed to give than to receive.' Let it be a genuine benevolence prompt? ing us to do good for goodness sake, ratber than for any expected reward. A. Flat Rock Items. With the exception of colds the health of this community is good. Mr. W. A. McFarland and family will leave for Texas this week. Mrs. S. A. Whittaker has two of the finest milch cows we have seen in this community. Christmas will s?on be here and many eager children are waiting the results of Santa. Claus. Last Saturday a week ago Mr. Sydney Hayuie, while carrying a sack of meal, made a misstep and fell through the plat? form in front of the mill, and received a severe wound in the forehead. This community was saddened by the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Bell, which oc? curred on Sunday morning, 11th inst., after a long and painful illness of cancor. Mrs. Bell was sixty-eight years old. Her remains were interred in the Flat Rock graveyard on Monday after her death, Rev. B. Hays conducting the funeral ser? vices. Notwithstanding the inclemency of tho weatber last Thursday morning, Col. J. G. Clinkscales, our efliciout County School Commissioner, visited several of the schools in this Township. It was your correspondent's pleasure to accompany the Colonel. We would say in tho outset he was driving a splendid horse, and could make seven miles an hour with all ease, despite the muddy roads. Tho first school house yisited was Mt. Moriah, S. S. Jefferson teacher. The Commissioner gave him a thorough drilling as to tho proper method of teaching. We next visited Flat Rock school, and found Miss Selma Whittaker in charge of a large number of pupils. The Colonel exam? ined the various classes and gave several exercises on the blackboard, and said he was satisfied Miss "Whittaker was doing good and lasting work. One need not be a D. 1). to see at once that the Colonel is master of his profession. His oratorial gift and pleasant mauner of speech makes him quite attractive. He gavo several im? portant ideas as to the best method of teaching, which no donbt was received cheerfully by the teacher. Wo bid them adieu and next landed at Smith Chapel School, and found Miss Nettie Miller iu the midst of a largo number of girls and boys, bearing a reading class, which tho Colonel took charge ot and heard tho re? mainder of the lesson. He asked several important questions, which wero answer? ed promptly. Miss Miller, with tho Col? onel, regretted very much she had no blackboard. The Colonel said ho hoped tho patrons would provide one at an early day. Miss Miller has an alarm clock, which had been set to give tho alarm for recess. The Colonel was examining a class in geography, and had got to tho capital of the United States when the alarm sounded. The reader can imagine the results. Col. Clinkscales is tho right man in tho right place. Flat. The Week of Prayer. The week of prayer is at baud. The year JS8S will open with the spectacle of a great multitude of evangelical people at prayer throughout the world. Let us unite in the great concert. Many consid? erations call us to that duty. The rapidly increasing population of our own country aud the increasing demand in cities and country places, home mission work, the confluence into this couutry of many and widely distinct races, the intermixture of conflicting opinions and interest?, the unsettled condition of our groat indus? tries the preservation of our American institutions, the demand for the blessings of Christianity in foreign lands, and above all, the spiritual well-being of men now and hereafter call us to this duty. A programme of topics arranged and recommended by the American Branch of the Evangelical Alliance will bo found in tho religious papers, and in the local papers of Anderson. An arrangement of hours and appoint? ment of persons who will conduct the meetings, as well as of those will be will? ing to speak, will be made by tho Pastors of tho city, and indue time announced. >. The meetings will be open and infor? mal, and it is hoped that every one will take a personal interest in them. r Attention, Baptists! The Treasurers of the Churches of the Saluda Association are specially request? ed to forward all their contributions for benevolent purposes through W. P. Cox, Secretary and Treasurer, Anderson, S.
