Abram Bolt, while paying for his paper the other day, said he had been a constant subscriber to tho Intelligencer since the first num? ber was issued. Mr. Bolt knows a good thing vrhen he sees it, and we hope he may live to read the Intelligencer for fifty years more. IJThe Augusta Chroiiicle of last Sunday says: "Anderson, S. C, proposes to hwe a gala time on Tuesday, Slat. The Chi quo]a Hotel is to be dedicated by a grand banquet and ball, and. the occasion will be worthy of a beautiful city and a nota? ble enterprise. The Chronicle congratulates President Wilhite on his success." The New York Journal says that girls engaged to be married, and women after marriage, are expected to wear rings to make ths fact apparent to all, while noth? ing of the sort is required of men. It suggests a ring for men, and would even advocate a law to compel them to wear one.' It mentions the finger as the place, but would not oppose the nose. Ernest F. Cochran, of Anderson, was among those who passed a satisfactory examination before the Supreme Court in Columbia last week, and is now licensed to -practice law' in any of the Courts of South Carolina.. Mr. Cochran is a worthy, upright, intellectual young man, and we I wish him much success in his chosen profession. Messrs. McGee & Ligon, one of Ander? son's most enterprising firms, have con? tracted to furnish the Chiquola with gro? ceries, having underbid several foreign houses. These gentlemen can't be turned down on prices. A few days ago this firm received a. car load (over five hundred bushels) of Irish potatoes, which they are selling cheap. Tho Darlington correspondent of the Charleston World, under date of tho 21st Inst., says: "The Enterprise Grocery, a large establishment formed here several years ago by a. joint stock company, was Bold out yesterday to Mr.. L. L. McGee, from Beiton, S. C, who will remove Im? mediately to this place and conduct the business." - - ? Hon. J. S. Murray has been seriously ill since last Thursday morning, but at this writing (Tuesday morning) he is resting easier. M?J. E. B. Murray and Mr. J. S. Murray, Jr., were summoned home from Columbia last Thursday, and have been at the bedside of their father sinco that time. His friends and family are very uneasy about him. Another enterprise for Anderson 1 The Sullivan Manufacturing Company has been organized, and in a few days will begin the erection of a large planing mill and work-shop. They will also open a lumber yard in connection. Mr. J. M. Smith will manage the enterprise, which will be located near the C, & G-. R. R. depot. The Company will manufacture several agricultural implements. On Sunday night, 15tlr inst., Mr. Wm. Davis, who lives on Mr. T. C Shearer's plantation, iu Ropk Mills Township, had the misfortune to have his stables and all of bis corn and fodder burned. A fine mule was also burned to death, and an-, other one badly injured. It is supposed the 'nre was accidental. TL? loss falls quite heavy on Mr. Davis, who is a hard? working deserving man.' We have just received" from the pub? lishers a very full and comprehensive book under the title, "Life and. Death of Jefferson Davis," giving a full history of his eventful life and death, together with Funeral Services, also comments of the press from all parts of the 'country. It will be sent postpaid to any address on receipt of 25 oents, by J. S. Ogilvie, the publisher, 57 Robo St., New York, who also desire agents to sell it. Dr. L.'B. Johnson died at his home in Walhalla on Wednesday afternoon, 19th inst., after a painful. illness of several weeks. He was about 62 years of age, and had been a resident of Walhalla since that town was incorporated. He had practiced medicine about forty years, and stood high in his profession. Dr. John? son was well known in Anderson County, and his friends will regret to hear of his death. We have on our tablo a copy of the first issue of "The Confederate Veteran Maga? zine," which is published monthly at At? lanta, Ga., at $2.00 per annum. It con? tains war stories and reminiscences; of camp and field services, and will be a me? dium of inter-communication between Confederate soldiers. It is neatly printed, and will be read with interest, not only by the old soldiers, but also by their children. The P. K. & W. C. R. R. will soli holi? day excursion tickets to and from all reg? ular stations and any point reached by its line at 4 cents per mile for the round trip.

Over this road the fare on the above dates from Anderson to Charleston and return is 49 GO. Mrs. M. Y. Coker, who lives near Pierce town, has been married fifteen years and is the mother of six children. This year she has spun the thread and wove ninety-seven yards of cloth, besides doing her household duties and other work. This cloth she has used in clothing her children. She has made sufficient cloth every year since her marriage to clothe herself and children. Mrs. Coker is a middled-aged lady, and we doubt if there> another one of her Bex in the County, who can boast of doing what she has done. Mr. E. H. Acker, who lives in the To ney Creek section, on the eastern side of the County, had the misfortune to have bis gin house burned last Saturday morn irg. He lost six bales of ginned cotton and about another bale of seed cotton, bis whole crop of cotton seed and some corn. The loss will amount to between six and seven hundred dollars, and is, without doubt , the work of an incendiary. Ev? ery effort will be made to find the guilty party, so that he may suffer the punish? ment ho so richly deserves. On Thursday night, 19th inst., about 9 o'clock, an old man by the name of Davis, accompanied by his wife, were followed by a negro from Anderson and assaulted with a stick with threats to kill them both. This occurred near the mile post on the Abbeville road. The old man and his wife wcro very badly frightened, and took refuge in the house occupied by Mr. Will. Martin, where tboy remained till next morning. Mr. Davis doeB not know the s narao of tho negro, bat says he could mentify bim if he could sea him. The motive of the nogro is unknown. Best^fccent cigar in town at Watkins' Book Store, A young white man, named Will. Mer ritt, who hails from Oconee County, but who has recently been working- for Mr. J. W. Eskew, at Denver, cattle to Anderson last Saturday and purchaaed;itwo fine mules from Mr. J. S. Fowler. He did not have the money to pay for the mules, but gave Mr. Fowler a mortgage on them as well as on some other stock which he claimed to own. Shortly after purchasing the mules, Merrit met up with Mr. Bar? ney O'Donnell, Jwith whom he swapped one of the mules for a horse, receiving $25 additional. By dark Mr. Fowler learned that Merritt did not own any stock and was a rascalt and be at once in? stituted a search for the man and the mules, but neither could be found. The search was continued throughout Sunday and Monday, but without success. Death of Mrs. John T. Sloan, Sr. The Columbia Register, of the 19th inst., contains the following notice of the death of the above named lady, who, prior to the war, was a resident of Anderson for a number of years, and who has many old friends in this section who will read the notice with sorrow: Mrs. Eliza Ann Sloan, wife of Colonel John T. Sloan, Sr., the veteran Clerk of the House of Representatives, who him? self lies critically ill, passed peacefully away yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. While Mrs. Slban, by reason of Increasing years, had not been strong or well for some time, the immediate cause of her final sickness was a cold taken some weeks ago, and which developed into congestion of the lungs. The deceased was the daughter of Col. Enoch Berry Benson, in his time one of the most prom? inent citizens of Pendletou. Born and reared in Pendleton Miss Benson became Mrs. Sloan over fifty years.ago, and for half a century have husband and children enjoyed the tender kindness and care of a faithful wife and devoted mother, whose zeal and interest in the welfare of her family knew no abatement until the touch of time prevented her ability being equal to her desir?. Of her it can truly be said "her children shall rise up and call her blessed." Her whole life long she was a consistent member of the Presby? terian Church. The deceased was In her 77th year, having been born in August of 1813. Besides her husband eight children survive her, two daughters, Miss Eliza A. and Miss Alice E. Sloan, and six sons, John T.

An Ordinance having been passed by the City Council of Anderson, placing the Fire Department and Apparatus under the control of the Chief of the Fire De? partment, and in his absence the Assistant Chief; also giving them supreme control over the same while at fires; and this Or? dinance having been violated by the interference of parties not connected with our Fire Department at our recent fires by giving orders and attempt? ing to usurp our authority, we now give, fair notice that, in the future, the Ordi? nance of the City Council will be strictly enforced, and all interference with the management of the Fire Department by giving orders, interfering with the steamer or other apparatus, or the firemen on duty, will not be allowed.

Mr. Ford was on the train that was wrecked on the S. V. R. R. last week. He is being cared for by Capt. William Jones. We are unable to state the extent of his injuries at this writing. We trust they are not serious. Mrs. M. W. Gillispe, we are sorry to state, iB critically ill. We hope, however, that she will recover. Wiahing the Editors of the Intelli? gences, together with its many readers, a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year, we close for 1889. Burke.

Walsenbtjrg, Col., Dec. 20.?A shocking accident occurred on the Den? ver and Rio Grande road last night, four mileB West of here, in which an engineer and fireman were instantly killed, and a large amount of property was destroyed. A freight train left Laveta, made up of two engines in front snd twenty-two cars of cattle, ten freight cars and ca? boose, and an engine in the rear. The train Boon broke in three parts, and then there began a race for life, a? the middle section was loose from the' caboose with no brakeman on it. Tbo engines ran about three miles, at the rate of over a mile a minute down a grade ninety feet to the mile, and here the middle section, with twenty-four cars loaded with cattle and lumber overtook them. The first engine escaped, but the second was instantly overwhelmed in a great mass of flying wreckage, which buried the engineer and fireman beneath it, killing them instantly. Portions of timber on the flying cars were thrown over 200 feet when the collision occurred. Seven cars of cattle and eight cars of lumber were piled up in the wreck, and nearly all of the cattle were killed or horribly mangled. William Gleyer, the dead engineer, leaves a wife and one child. Thomas Baker, the fireman, was a single man. W. H. Ferringer and D. Edmonson, both brakemen, were severe? ly injured, and were taken to the com? pany's hospital at Pueblo. Pjrovidence, R. I., Dec. 18.?That three smart thieves did hot make a large haul from the Slater National Bank, Pawtucket, to day, was due to the fact that only about $3,000 was left on the counter when they began operations. The bank had been removed from the rear to the front of the building, and the partition separating the cashier's deek from the lobby had been taken down. Just beyond, a door which separated the cashier's room from the main banking room had also been taken away, and only a light iron gate stood between the cashier's desk and the lobby. The bank was thus practically doiog business out doors when just after 12 o'clock, Teller B. W. Gardner and Clerk J. F. Brown? ing of the Franklin Savings Bank being present, three strangers entered. The cashier had gone to dinner and there were no patrons present. Two of the strangers opened a conversation with Gardner snd Browning, one pretending to be very deaf and causing Gardner to shout in speaking to him, thus covering the noise of their confederate's work. The third, a small wiry fellow, vaulted the gate, passed into the banking room and seized the bundles of money lying on the desk. Something attracted Gard? ner's attention to the banking room, and he turned to look. "Don't look that way 1 Look at me. I'm hard of hear? ing," said the talker oat side the counter. Mr. Gardner did look, and saw the third man grabbing the money. He ran for him, but the thief bolted, sprang nimbly over the gate, dropping, as he did so, a package containing about $1,400. Gard? ner went as far as the door; but having left the two strangers in the bank he did not follow further. These two slipped out upon his return, and all three made their escape. The man who feigned deafness is described as past middle age and as wearing a sandy moustache. The bank officials this evening claim that the loss will not exceed $1,410. ? Mr. Curtis declares in Harper's Weekly that Grover Cleveland is the most popular living American. ? North Carolina has 800,000 acres of swamp land to sell for the benefit of her education fund. ? There has lately been an extraordi? nary and alarming increase in the number of suicides among officers of the German army. In one month twenty-eight offi? cers shot themselves. ? George N. Evans, of Springfield, 111., who has for years been working at his trade as a carpenter, has been notified by William G. Tallmage. an attorney at Washington, D. C, that he is one of six heirs to ?2,000,000, which was deposited in the Bank of England by his great? grandfather for his heirs, most; of whom emigrated to this country years ago and were lost Bight of. Evans has been sought for for years by executors of the estate, and his whereabouts were only learned by accident. A Woman's Discovery. "Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by a lady in this county. Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of King's New Discovery for Con? sumption and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus write W. C. Hamrick & Co., of Shelby, N. C?Get a free trial bottle at Hill Bros'. Drug Store. 2 The Verdict Cnauimous. W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind., tes? tifies: "lean recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of 10 years' standing." Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms : "The best selling medicine I have ever handled in my 20 years' experience, is Electric Bitters." Thousands of others have added their testimony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at Hill Bros.'
