thing in the building. The loss is esti?

Strive always to do justice. Never make
an unkind speech or express yourself
in a manner calculated to do injury, unless
you are sure that you know what you are
talking about. Truth of the matter is,
there is too much idle, unprofitable talk
going on in this world anyway. Better a
thousand times not to say nothing than to
carelessly misrepresent any one,
Mr. Frank Waiden died at his residence
m this dty last Friday morning of pneu?
monia, aged about 31 years. His illness
was very brief, being confined to his bed
only five days. Mr. Waiden was a Con?

and was a steady, upright young man.
His remains were carried to Greenwood
for interment. He leaves a wife and two
children to mourn his death.
Mr. Jos. Gray and a companion, while
. out hunting one day last week, in Yaren
nes Township, accidentally shot a little
negro child, wounding it slightly. While

fixed at it. Near by were some children
who were not seen by the young men, and
one of them was wounded, several shot
striking it in the face and body.
Mrs. Sarah A. Wardlaw, relict of the
late Jesso C. Wardlaw, died, at the resi?
dence of her son, C. Wardlaw, Esq., in
this city, last Sunday morning, after an
illness of two or three weeks with fever.
Mrs. Wardlaw resided in Jackson County,
Ga? and came to Anderson a few weeks
ago to visit her son. Her remains wore
carried back to Jackson County for inter?
ment Mrs. Wardlaw was about sixty
years of age, and was a most' excellent
lady. Since her childhood she had been a
faithful and exemplary member of the
Baptist Church, and was fully prepared for
the summons of death. She leaves behind
her seven sons to mourn her death, and a
host of friends who will loDg cherish her
memory.
The ladieB of the Anderson Methodist
Church have erected on the interior of
their Church a very neat marble tablet to
the memory of the late Mrs. J. W. W?l?
ling, with the following inscription: "In
memory of Lidie Green, wife of Rev. J;
W. W?lling: passed away while a mis?
sionary in Brazil, Dec. 27, 1887, aged 83
years. She being dead, yet speaketh."
On to-morrow (Friday) evening there
will be an entertainment at the residence
of Mr. Wm. Laughlln for the benefit of
the building fund of the Baptst Church.
Admission price: for ladies, 10 cents; gen?
tlemen, 25 cents. An interesting pro?
gramme has been arranged, and we be?
speak for the entertainment a liberal pa?
tronage. The entertainment will begin
promptly at 3 o'clock. v
Now that we are entering upon a new
year, every man in Anderson should
enter heartily into the matter of building
up the city. About the most successful
way to do this is for every man to constitute
himself an immigration committee, never
letting an opportunity pass without put?
ting In an encouraging word concerning
the advantages offered by Anderson and
Anderson County to home-seekers.
The McCormick yews, of.last week says :
"The cornerstone of the new hotel in An?
derson was laid last Thursday, the usual
ceremonies taking place. That night there
was a big banquet, attended by four hun?
dred people in- the University ohapel.
-When completed, the hotel will be quite
an ornament to the town. Anderson is
taking steps to build a cotton factory, and
seems to be growing. It is one of the
pluckiest little cities in South Carolina,
and deserves success."
The reputation of Anderson is extend?
ing far abroad in this great country of
ours, and it will not be long before the
population will be increased to twice its
present number. Let them come. We
havo plenty of room for upright, energetic
men, and will give them a cordial wel?
come. House rent cheap, and we have
good schools and churches. The health
of this section can't be excelled in any
'State, and if you are looking for a new
home, come to Anderson.
The new advertisement of the S. Block
ley Company should be read carefully,
This firm is one of the most progressive
and energetic to be found in the city, and
its members start out in the new year
with the determination to give their cus?
tomers better bargains in the future than
they have secured in the past. Their
stock embraces everything usually found
in a first class general merchandise estab?
lishment, and they take great pleasure In
bowing their goods and quoting prices.
Mr. S. K. McDonald, the accommodat?
ing, telegraph operator at the S. V. R. R.
depot, who was called to Augusta during
the Exposition to work in .the Central
railroad office, has returned to Anderson.
Daring his absence Mrs. McDonnald
filled his position very acceptably to both
the Company and the patrons of the road.
Mr. McDonald is using every effort to
got a permanent telegraph office estab?
lished in the business part of the city, and
says.be thinks his efforts will be crowned
with success.
Mr. Willi? W. Broek, son of Mr. Jas.
H. Brock, died at his home/near Pendle
ton on Tuesday, 1st inst., off typhoid fever.
Mr. Brock was'about 22 jfoars of age, was
a member of the Baptist Churoh, and an
upright, worthy young man, whose death
is deeply regretted by. a wido circle of
friends. His remains were interred in
the Sandy Springs graveyard on the day
following his death. Five members of
Mr. Brock's family have recently been
afflicted with typhoid fever, but this is the
first fatal case.
It is with a aad heart that we announce
the death of our young friend, Irvine
Twitty, who died at his home in Spartan
burg last Sunday morning, after an illness
of several weeks. 'Mr. Twitty was, a few
years ago, a resident of Anderson for sev
eial years, and has a large circle of friends
in our midst who will, read this announce?
ment of his death with sorrow. He was
a young man of many noble qualities, of
genial disposition and courteous and pleas
ant manners, and made a friend of every
one with whom he became acquainted.
We had a pleasant visit last week from
Mr. John J. Taylor, who represents
Messrs. Wm. M. Brid & Co., of Charleston.
While in the city Mr. Taylor had on ex?
hibition one of the famous Sun Vapor
Gas Lamps, which are controlled in this
State by his firm. This lamp is used by
Cleveland, 0., Indianapolis, Ind., and
other cities for lighting their streets, and
Mr.: Taylor was endeavoring to sell a
number of them to our Council for street
service One of the lights is equal in
brilliancy to three or four kerosene lights,
and is cheaper tbah gas.

its utmost Beating capacity lust Thursday

Tho 13th Anniversary of the Knights of
Honor; ^
At a meeting of the Anderson Lodge,
No. 290, of Knights of Honor on Wednes?
day evening, the 2nd inst., the following
officers were eleoted to serve the ensuing
year:
Dictator?F. E. Watklns.
Vico-Dictator?E. W. Taylor.
Assistant-Dictator?L. H. Seel.
Chaplain?R. F. Divver.
Guide-D. M. Stephens.
Reporter?J. B. Lewis.

and J. M. Sullivan.
Medical Examiner?Dr. S. M. Orr.
Bepresentative to Grand Lodge?J. M;
Sullivan ; alternate, G. F. Tolly.
Immediately after installation of the
officers, the Lodge formed In to a proces?
sion and marched to the Ayer How . /
where they celebrated their thlrteer^S
anniversary by indulging in a grand
repast, which had been prepared in excel?
lent style.
As soon as all were comfortably seated
around the tables, J. E, Breazeale, Esq.,
arose, and in a few appropriate remarks
presented Mr. R. L. Keys a beautiful sil?
ver pitcher as a token of esteem and
appreciation by the Lodge of his services
as Guard and Janitor for the past thirteen
years. Mr. Keys received the gift in a
very modest way, and by his manner
showed that he was agreeably surprised.
He said that he could not make a speech,
and were he to attempt to do so ho would
be like the apple wagoner, who lost all of
his apples while going up a hill by tbe
rear gate of his wagon body coming out,
und who said he "couldn't do the subject
justice.'*
Rev. Dr. Frierson was then called upon
to return thanks to the Giver of all good,
and then the battle began, and every one
present seemed to do justice to the good
things that were spread before tbem.
After the supper had been -devoured,
Gen. W. W. Humphreys, Dr. R. F. Div?
ver, G. E. Prince, Esq., Capt. P. K.
MoCully and Hon. J. B. Watson were
called upon in the order named for a
speech, and each responded In an elo?
quent and appropriate manner. Tho oc?
casion was a most highly enjoyable one.
The Anderson Lodge ranks second in
point of members in the State, having 131
members on its roll, and is doing a gqod
work in our section. Every head of a
family should be a member of this order.

The management of the affairs of this
County is about to change hands. Ere
this is in print the new Board of County
Commissioners will have formally as?
sumed control of the financial manage?
ment for the next two years. As tho law
is now.interpreted, a set of men from
whose decision as to whether a contract
for building bridges, <&c, has been prop?
erly carried out by the contracting par?
ties, ought to be men who would not
through fear, affection, favor, spite or
hope of reward, causo tho County to
assume debts for which a proper equiva?
lent bad not been rendered. The question
naturally arises will these men who'are
just entering upon tbe crucial test of their
abilities "fill the bill?" We believe they
will. We hope they will. Time will tell.
A great deal of moving is and has been
going on in this'section.
? Mr. J. Alex. Stevenson now occupies
the house lately vacated by the family of
the late K. R. Coopor. While regretting
.to lose Mr. Cooper's family, we are
pleased to know that we have a worthy
family in their stead.
We understand that Mr. D. H. Green,
who has been quite sick for some time
past, Is slowly recovering.
Tbe Christmas tree at the school of Miss
Carrie Watkins on. Christmas Eve, was a
success every way, and gave great pleas?
ure- to tbe chilflreu. Santa Claus was
personated by Mr. J. C. Watkins, and

" Things around Eureka wear no unusual
appearance. Since our last communica?
tion, however, there has been some pro?
gress made religiously. As wo3 an?
nounced in your columns on the 10th of
November, 1888, there was, after the New
Testament usages, a Church of Christ con?
stituted at this place. It will be, by reso?
lution, culled and known as the Eureka
Baptist Church. By tbe unanimous voice
of the Church, the Rev. W. A. Gaines was
called to and has accepted the pastorate
at a guaranteed salary of one hundred
dollars k year. We do not have a New
Testament corps of deacons at present, bnt
.enough to answer our immediate purpose.
Our membership only numbers, at pres?
ent, fifteen. We have unfurled the ban?
ner's of King Emanuel to the moral
breezes with this inscription : "It is not
by might nor strength, but by my spirit
saith the Lord." At present we have no
Church property, but steps have recently
been taken which will give us two acres
of land upon which, at some time in the
future, there will be erected a house of
worship. Contiguous to the Church lot,
there will be purchased one acre of ground
for a oemetery. The place has become so
sacred by so many hallowed associations,
that many feel that they want it to be the
last resting place of their lifeless bodies
till- the great resurrection morn.
We feel that the Church and Sunday
School at this place is a part of our exis?
tence, and also a part of our homes. Tho
historic cedars of Lebanon never looked
greener and more flourishing in mid sum-,
mor, than does our Sunday School at this
time. Blessed Sunday School, thau art
as rivers of water in a dry place, as the
shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
A Christmas tree is a nice thing for the
children, but sometimes something else is
better. Our Superintendent had some?
thing else this time for us children. It
gave general satisfaction, and filled every
mind and heart with joy and gladness, It
was a new departure from the old time
honored Christmas treo. Wo felt that the
old tree had served its day and generation
and had fallen asleep, and that a grand
treat of all kinds of confectioneries had
come in its place. Tbe whole school was
waited upon by the Superintendent, Col.
L. E. Campbell, B. B. Gontry and Misses
Zella Campbell and Lizette McCown.
Every one was offered the same thing.
There was no room for fault-finding.
There was no room for. any to feel that
somebody else got something better than
they did. It was the same thing to every?
body. All had raisins, nuts, candies and
so on at their refusal. It was tbe most
delightful occasion of tho kind we ever
witnessed.
The sentiment of our young people is
still directed with unabated interest to
the subject of matrimony. They are all,
without a single exception, "half-mar?
ried," ?. ?., they have their own consent,
and judging from the generol maneuver?
ing, they are trying very hard to get
whole married. We hope thoy will all
succeed before it is finally and everlast?
ingly too late. ? -
It has been laid by some wise bead that
?'Providence rewards the good and pun
IsheB the bad." The history of both these
characters go to prove that that is a sol?
emn fact. Our Saviour more than once,
yea in all bis teachings, ever directs our
minds to tho rewards of action. It is the
rewards of labor that nerves and moves
us forward in the trials and hardships of
life. It was tho reward that animatod and
inspired the Roman soldior to do deeds of
chivalry. It has ever been the feeling of
the human mind and heart that men shall
be rewarded for deeds of daring acts of all
kinds, and for faithfulness and devotion
to the performance of duties committed to
his trust. On last Sabbath afternoon the
parents, children and friends of our Sun
day School, as an expression of their high
appreciation of the services so faithfully
and earnestly rendered to the school, pre?
sented to Col. L. E. Campbell, our Super?
intendent, a gold-beaded gutta percha
cane, bought of John M. Hubbard & Co.,
of Anderson, S. C, where nice things in
their line of business can be had cheap.

proving herself a faithful and competent
teacher.
While in conversation with a certain
j young lady a few days ago, she said that
I a certain widower wanted to come to see
her, but she told him that she was looking
for her fellow on the next train. The
widower said he hoped the train would
run off and her fellow be killed so there
'would be a ohance for him. The lady
replied that several men would have to
be killed before there would be a chance
for him. Not much taffy about that
young lady. Brace up, widower, and
oome again. Flat .

Real Estate is not assessed this year, 1889,
and remains at the same valuation it was
in 1888, except in cases where parties have
bought and sold between the first day of
January, 1888, and the first day of Janua?
ry, 1889.
All new structures erected between the
first day of January, 1888, and the*first day
of January, 1889, are to be returned this
year (1889) for taxation, and those destroy?
ed during that time deducted.
Assessors and Tax Payers will please en?
ter the first given name of the Tax Payer
in full. Also, make a separate return for
each Tax Payer for the Tcwnship the prop?
erty is in, and always make the return of
real property in the same name it was re?
turned in the year before, unless it has
changed ownership, and then in the parties
name who owned it on the first of January,
1S89. All changes of buying and selling
land must be made on the Tax Payer's re?
turn between the first of. January, 1889,
and the twentieth of February, 1889. Af?
ter the latter date it will be too late to get
the change made for the said year 18?9*
And another important matter in making
or taking returns, is where the Tax Payer
owns land to insert the Post Office as their
place of residence, and where they own no
real property to mention the owner's land
hat they live on as being their place of
residence, which assists the Tax Payer as
well as the County Treasurer iu making the
collection, and save costs and penaltiss,
too.
Every male citizen, between tho ages of
twenty-one and fifty years, on the first day
of January, 1889, except those incapable of
earning a support from being maimed, or
from other cauees, shall be deomed-taxable
polls.
Tax Payers return what they own on the
first day of January, 1889.
All returns that are made after the twen?
tieth day of February next, have to be
placed on the Additional List, and fifty per
cent penalty added thereto, unless pre
vented by sickness during the time of list?
ing, or out of the County at the time.
Not knowing the time of listing is no ex?
cuse, and is the reason that the landowner
has to get two receipts when he makes his
return after the twentieth of February
each year.
Each landowner furnishes the names on
the back of their Tax Returns of all par?
ties living on their land who are liable for
taxes, and in comparing these names with
che Tax Duplicate, find a good many who
have forgot or neglected to make their re?
turns for 1887 and 1888, and we hope every
one who Is liable for the said years 1887 and
18SS will attend to it at once. After the
15th of December it soon falls into the
Sherifl's hands, and of course the costs
aud penalties have to be added, which is a
pretty smart item.
