Ho, then.'fop.., sent the certificate to Abbivillo, und Mr. McLees, tho Commissioner, re? turned it and pronounced it a forgnry. Harper was arrested at once, and altera preliminary trial last Saturday, was com initted to jail in default of a bond of $500.

When the news of the death of Hon. Jefferson Davis reached Anderson last Friday, many expressions of sorrow were heard on ail sides, and late in the after? noon the Church bells were tolled. Sev? eral of the members of the Survivor's As? sociation determined at once to have a memorial meeting On the d?y of the funeral, and on Monday a meeting was held in the Court House to make arrange? ments for the occasion. This meeting was called to order by Gen. W. W. Hum? phreys, Presidenjt of*the Survivors Asso? ciation of Anderson County, who, in a short speoch, announced the object of the meeting. Mr. R. R. Todd was requested to act as Secretary. On motion three Committees wore appointed to arrange for the memorial services to be held on Wednesday, the day set apart for the fu? neral in New Orleans, La.

The Church bells of the city were tolled for a half hour preceding the meeting und during the services the business bouses closed their doors. An Andolor. Young Man and 8300 Miss? ing. On Tbunksgiving Day Mr. Thomas J. Braddy, who uas for a number of years been a most efficient clerk or copyist iu the office of the Clerk of Court, left An? derson to visit relatives several miles south of the city. The next two days passed away and Mr. Braddy did not re? turn. This was something unusual, for it was not often that he was absent from tbe office more than a day at a lime. Col. Tribble, tbe Clerk of Court, became uneasy about the young man's Continued absence, and, upon inquiry, learned that he had boarded tho cars at Starr and gone to Augusta, Ga. Several days more elapsed, and still nothing was heard from Mr. Braddy. Col. Tribble then sent a young man to Augusta to sec if ho could find bim. Tbe young man spent a day or two in Augusta, and upon his return to Anderson, statod that he could hear of Mr. Braddy being in Augusta, but he was unable to find him. About this time it was quietly whispered around that Mr. Braddy had carried Col. Tribble's safe key off with him, and it was feared that there was something wroug. His friends, how? ever, did not want to believe that such was the case. Col. Tribble waited until last Monday, and still not hearing anything from Mr. Braddy, he determined to bore into tbe safe, as he was compelled to get some papers from it. The safe was opened, and, upon examination, about three hundred dollars were missing. - The money was Col. Tribble's own private funds, and the loss falls only on him. The news.of the embezzlement spread rapidly throughout the city, and was a great shock to our whole peoplo, for everybody knew Tom. Braddy, and es? teemed him highly as an upright, honora? ble young man. He had tbe utmost con? fidence of Col. Tribble, and made a most efficient, accommodating ana courteous clerk in the office. He is about twenty years old, and entered the office as a copy? ist under Capt. J. W.. Daniels. For some time past he has been slyly indulging in strong drink, which no doubt is tbe sequel of his downfall. It is the general opinion tbat, had he conducted himself right and held bis position, he would, at some future day, have been the Clerk of Court for Anderson County. No effort has yet been made to arrest him. Honea Path Item*. Mr. M. B. Wright and Mr. Jas. Stepp have moved into town. Others are wait? ing aud will come as soon as they can get bouses, while others who desire to come will be prevented because they cannot get suitable houses. Will not some of our enterprising citizens build houses and rent or sell to parties desiring to move hero to educate their children? Honea Path is certainly advancing, and if we would see her build up as we desire we must build bouses, sell lots and prepare the way for those desiring to come into our midst. Never before have so many peoplo been seeking places here as at present. No town is more social, better .united, or more desirable to the progress? ive, thrifty and prosperous peoplo of the country than Honea Path, and if we will open tbe way mauy of them will move in and make their homes with u9. Rev. D. W. Hiott preached In the Bap? tist Church here last Saturday and Sunday. The congregation on Sundtiy wan very large, and heard some excellent singing besides a fine sermon. The Sunday schools of this place will have a Christmas Tree on the afternoon of the 25th inst. The tree will be in the Methodist Church. On the night of tbe 25th there will bo a hot supper at the school house, aud as it is to bo for the benefit of the school, it is expected that there will bo a large atten? dance. The people of Honea Path never fail to work for anything tbut will better their school. Their watchword is onward, and onward they press. Tho Pierian Literary Society will give a public debate on the night of December 20th. Miss Kittie Thomas, one of Abbeville's most charming daughters, spont some days last week with friends in Honoa Path. Miss Anna Grubbs gladdened tho hearts of her many friends here by a short visit last week. No one could be more gladly welcomed by our young folks than she is. Mr. J. R. Donnald has sold over one hundred drove hogs here in the last t wo or three weeks. Mr. C. E. Harper, having sold out one lot of mules, has been to Tennessee and brought another drove. Having gone into tbe livery business, he is determined to, make it the interest of parties desiring to purchase stock to trade with him. Rev. B. P.

"Will" wants to know why friend Joe. has to cross water. Has he done some? thing that compels biui to cross the line ? Wo bopo not. It is rumored that one of our South Carolina boys contemplates taking to himself a wife, and ho is going to Georgia for her. If such is tho truth, we wish him success through life. We have been visiting again?this time to see our much esteemed friend, W. B. Durham. After a two-mile ride wo ar? rived, and were met by our clover bust, who gavo us a most cordial reception. Soon after our arrival tho lovely daughter of the house made bor nppearanco, and wo wore treated to some line music from tlie organ. At dinner wo were given the seat of honor at the bead of a bountifully supplied table. Tho afternoon was spent in music and conversation until a certain young man came in, when the young lady gave ns to understand it was timo to be going, or we understood it tbat way. May be we were mistaken. Wc are under many obligations to tho family for tboir kindness. Tho sick are all on the mend with Dr. S. R. Heller as their physician.

Cothran having resigned, the friends of Hon. Ei B. Murray, our present ablo Senator, bog leave respectful? ly to announce him as Judge Cothran's successor in the National House of Repre? sentatives. This is done without oppor? tunity of consultation with Maj. Murray, but, guided by his prist lifo and eminent public services, we feel sure he will not dcclino this call of tho pooplc for his dili? gence aud labor in the F?deral Congress. FBI ENDS, Denver Item?. Last Thu relay evening the citizens of this community had the chance to witness the disastrous effects of recklessness on tbe part of a railroad engineer. Shortly be? fore 3 o'clock p. m., engine no 231 came to the tank at Six and Twenty to get water, leaving its train near Autun. After get? ting water it returned aftor its train, and, faihug to use the necessary caution in ap? proaching tho train, collided with it, caus? ing a considerable wreck. Tbe fireman, Ed. Tolleson, says be and a train hand signalled the engineer, Dick Anderson, repeatedly of their approach to the train, but he took no notice of siguals till too late to prevent the accident. On seeing that a collision was inevitable, he threw the engine in '"front gear" with full steam on, aud all parties jumped for their lives, which was a wise act, for hardly any ono would h?ye survived tho shock. Th? car struck was loaded with mules consigned to Anderson, S. C. Fortunately, the hor? rors of the collison wero minimized to some extent by the engine being "revers? ed" which caused it to start on p. wild run in the direction of Anderson as soou as it struck. "Section hands say that "wild" engine was making about the beat time ever made on this road, as it passed them with car wood Hying in all directions and steam escaping from a hole in the side and the look of general destruction about it. It just "lived" to cross Six and Twenty bridge, and there came to a stand-still. The tender is a total wreck, and the engine is more or less damaged by fire, a3 all the water escaped and a big fire was burning in tbe engine. One mule was so badly injured It was killed. The engineer was the only person hu rt. and ho is not thought to be seriously so. The wreck was cleared away about 2 o'clock Friday morning so the passonger train could pass. Workmen are at work at Six and Twen? ty Bridge preparing to put new ties and guard rail on it. Negotiations are going on looking to the improvement of the public road crossing known as "Felton's Bridge," which in hardly safe in its present condition, owing to a high embankment at the approach on the West side. Several persons in this community have had the mump", but all are nearly well now. A. W. McPhail is the happy owner of a Montana horse. The Montanians beat the Texans in size and general appearance. S. L. Eskew keeps increasing his lumber yard at this place, which is a great conve? nience to those wanting lumber. July Hunter, who lives on Dr. Wilhite's place, has the finest lot of turkeya*?e have seen in a long time. He, or rather his wife, is the best turkey raiser we know of. About the next cold spell those having a nice fat porker will bo mighty apt to enter upon a diot of "back bonos and spare ribs" with an occasional mess of sausages. Farmers have had a good time for sow? ing wheat, and most of them availed themselves of the opportunity, and are. done sowiner. Thanksgiving Day was so disagreeable but fow persons Ventured out to hunt, as they otherwise, would had the weather been better. Reid Garrison reports seeing several flocks of wild geese passing over this place on their way South. Geese and ducks in a wild state are getting to be something rare in this country. As the population increases the game decreases. The war of extermination of our game of all kinds goos bravely on. Jay. Lebanon Items. Our people are nearly done picking their cotton and sowing wheat, aud are beginning to talk about Christmas. We have had a tough time for the last few weeks picking the "cracked bolls," caused by the early frost, which damaged the cotton a great deal in this neighbor? hood. Nevertheless, we huve made a very good crop, and have much to be grateful for. Several of our citizens have fine hogs. Mr. C. M. Duckworth killed his last week ?aged 13 months, weight 352 pounds net. Mr. L. H. Welborn has one he thinks will net close tosix hundred pounds. So you see we will have something to groase the inner man next year. We stand in need of a vagrant law in this neighborhood. There aro about a dozen that we could very well spare. It is quite common to hear of some of their depredations. One of them stole a buggy whip from Mr. J. N. Erskine a few days ago. Mr. Erskine found out who had it, and went and demanded it. It was first denied, but at last it was produced, after which they became involved in a diffi? culty, which came near proving fatal to both parties, the negro using a knife and Mr. Erskine a rock. The latter received two wounds, one in his left side, just below the heart, about one and a half inches deep, 6trikiug a rib and stopping the knife. The other wound was on tbe head, cutting a small artery. He bled profusely. The negro did his work first, as he did not have time after Eskine got his rock, and, but for che interference of friends, he would, perhaps, have used it his last time. Dr. Sharpe was called and dressed both their wounds. Both are doing very well now. Mr, Erskine is a very quiet, sober man, and it is a pity that good men have to come in contact with such characters, but we have to defend our property. J, H. Hutchinson, Esq., has commenced to build him a commodious house, which will have seven rooms. We like to see such signs of progress. We have never seen more building going on than there is at present. We have just finished an L to our school room, 18x30, and the good ladies of the neighborhood aro manifesting their inter? est in the good work. They are going to give a grand festival on Christmas eve, commencing at noon and run?well, until everybody is full of good things. From the racket they aro keeping up we are sure they mean business, and a glance at the paper of subscription of donations, it makes our mouth water just to see it. Turkeys! yes, turkeys, chickens and sweet things too numerous to mention. Mr. Editor, we extend to you and every? body else an invitation to como and bring your "girls" and your 25 cents, and got a good dinner. At the close, or at night rather, Professor Holland's school will give an entertainment, which we feel safe (from his past record) in vouching some thing nice.
