The Captain grows more popular as he grows older, ana the R. & B, R. R, has not a more efficient or accommodating officer in its employ.

Mr. Rainey moved from South Carolina to Georgia in 1838, when quite a small boy. He visited Anderson sixteen years ago, and since that time he thinks the city has grown, wonderfully. His many old friends and relatives are delight? ed to greet him once more. 5 The Columbia Xtguier, of a few days ago; says: "Officer Moorehead of the po? lice force", who has been for months past confined to his house by severe illness, has so far recovered as'to be able to ride out yesterday, and will take a trip up country to recuperate. He has been a most efficient officer, and all of his friends hope to see him back at his post shortly." 1 Mr. Moorehead is a native of Anderson County, and his many friends and rela? tives here will be glad to hear of his re? covery. Mr. Jos. C. Stribling, who teaches a Common and Business School on River Street, wants,more pupils. Public schools in this city, -we understand, open next Monday morning, and due credit will be S'ven patrons by Mr. Stribling for public nds received. Mr. Stribling is an expe? rienced, conscientious teacher, and pa? trons are fortunate in entering children to his' care. His school presents an excellent opportunity, at a small cost, for wide awake young persons of either sex to take a thorough business course. Mr. Daniel D. Gentry, whose sad acci? dent we chronicled in the last issne of the Intelligences, died Tuesday niqht after we had put our paper to press. He never regained consciousness, and passed away very quietly, apparently without sttfler ing any pain. HLsjremains were interred at Lebanon Church on Wednesday, Rev. W. R. Hawkins conducting the funeral services. Mr. Gentry was about 36 years of age, and has gone to reap the reward of a well spent life, which should be a great consolation to the loved ones who are left to cherish his memory. To the devoted wife-.and .little children we tender, our deepest sympathies. ' ? "'. On Christmas Eve night Manuel Chiles, a negro,' fired his pistol on the Square, near ' the Treasurer's office. Policeman. Rose attempted to arrest the negro, who started off in a run and fired twice, at the officer, hut'without effect. Mr. .Rose pulled' hid pistol, and fired twice at -'the fleeing, negro, the first shot striking-bis finger, and the second his right .thigh.. This last shot stopped the negro, who was arrested and locked up. Dr. J. O. Wilhite extracted the ball, and the negro will soon recover. Mayor*.Tolly ordered the pris? oner to be turned over to the State authoriti"S,'and he Is how in jail awaiting trial at the term of Court. He will get a term in the Penitentiary, Christmas was unusually quiet in An? derson. Business was suspended from Thursday morning until Monday morn? ing, and everybody had an opportunity of enjoying the occasion to the fullest extent. The small boy was given the privileges'of thenity, and throughout the three days he made good use of the time in popping crackers and displaying other fireworks. No accidents happened in the city, and very little drunkenness and rowdyism was indulged in. This speaks well for. our people, and it gives us pleasure to note it. There were no entertainments in the city, hut nearly every family indulged in a big dinner. A large number of our "young people spent the holidays away from home, and the general report is that a good timo was- had. The weather on Christmas Day was pold and raw, and it looked every minuto as if it would snow, but Friday morning dawned bright and clear and has remained so ever since. Mrs. Iris Smith, the muoh beloved wife of Mr. Luther P. Smith, died at hor home in this city on Wednesday morning, 24th ult. Mrs. Smith was the eldest daughter of Rev. L. M. Ayer, and in the 37 th year of her age. S ha had for several months j been an invalid, being afflicted with that ever-rfatal disease, consumption. It was known therefore that she was quite fepble, but a large number of her friends did not realize that her end wa? so near, and when the sad announcement of her death was made it was a .great shock to many of them. Mrs. Smith was a lady of many noble traits of character, with a very amiable, cheerful, sweet disposition, and those who knew her best loved her most. Indeed, she made a friend of every an Suaintance, all of whom deeply deplore her eath. ' Iu early life she joined the Baptist Church, and was a most consistent mem? ber. She was ever ready and willing to lend her aid in any good work in the Church and iu the societies to whioh she belonged, and was.a most energetic, zeal-. ou8 worker, a faithful wife, a devoted mother and an exemplary Christian, she has discharged her duties well, and she is now at rest in that bright world above. Besides an aged father and other relatives, she leaves a heart-broken husband and a little girl and boy to mourn her death. Ou Christmas Day, after impressive faner al services, conducted by Rev. R. H. Smith, the remains were laid to rest in the Baptist churchyard, 1 At the Eureka Sunday School, In Broad away Township, last Sund&y, the two sil? ver cupB, which bad been o.iered as prizes to the girl and boy who would recite the greatest number of perfect lessons during the year, were awarded to Miss Mattie Hall and Master John Rowland, Another beautiful silver cap, which was offered as a prize at the beginning of the last quarter by a friend of tho school, who requested his name not to be made public, to the pu? pil who would commit to memory and recite the greatest number of chapters in the-Bible, was awarded to Miss Genie Hamby, she having recited seventeen chapters accurately. We extend our con? gratulations to the prize winners. The Eureka'School, which is Superintended by Col. L. E. Campbell, has closed a suc? cessful year, and we hope it may long con? tinue to do good work in the Master's cause. Last Friday night a serious ofTray occurred on the plantation of Mr. T. L. CUnkscales, Jr., in Martin Township. Thu facts, as far as we have been able to learti, are about as follows : On the night named a party of young white men went to a negro's house and demanded admis? sion. Being refused, they fired seven shots Ht the door and then began knock? ing it opeii with clubs.. As the door fell, one of the young men, Mr. Luther Brock, outered the house, and as he did so. the negro man struck him in the head with an axe, inflicting, a very serious wound, Mr. Brock was carried home, and since then has received all the medical attention possible.. . On Monday the physicians trepaned tbe fractured skull, and at last accounts tbe unfortunate young man was doing as well as possible. It is feared the ? wound . will prove fatal, though we hope not. Death has invaded another happy home in Anderson and removed therefrom a most excellent woman, Mrs. Nancy May field, who quietly breathed her last on Wednesday, 24th ult., at tbe residence of her son-in-law, Dr. A. C. Strickland. She had been an invalid for a number of years, but bore her sufferings with that patience characteristic of a true Christian. Mrs. Mayfield was about 57 years old. She was the relict of Sanford Mayfield, who died in the service of his country during the war. She had long been a devoted mem? ber of the Presbyterian Church, and by her modest, Christian character she endear? ed herself to a wide circle of friends, who sympathize with the bereaved son and .daughter left to mourn the death of a devoted mother. On the day following her death her remains were interred in the Presbyterian cemetery, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. Dr. Frierson. Mrs. Catherine Ranson, relict of Wm. 'Ranson, deceased, died at the home of her son, Mr. Wm. Ranson, in Hall Town? ship, on Wednesday morning, December 24th. Mrs. Ranson was perhaps the old? est woman in Anderson County, being in the 99th year of her age. During her long life she was remarkably stout and hesltby, and was sick only ten days preceding her death. She was born and reared in Lau? reus County, and in 1840 moved to An? derson County, where she has ever since resided. In her girlhood she joined the A. R. P. Church, and throughout life was a most zealous, and consistent member. She was a most noble, excellent woman, and was highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends, who will ever cherish her mem? ory. Five daughters and one son are left to mourn her death, but in their bereave? ment they have the consolation of know? ing that a devoted mother has gone to the home of the Angels. The remains were interred in the Generostee Churchyard on Christmas Day, Rev. Calvin Pressly con? ducting the funeral services. . Last Tuesday Coroner Nance went down to the home of Mr. Thos. Banister, in Martin Township, and held an inquest over tbe body of Sam. Banister, who died oh Monday from the effects of a pistol shot wound received in the head on Wednesday, 24th ult. From the evidence taken by the Coroner it appears that on the day named Mr. James Nelson and Messrs. John, Sam. and Jessie Banister, three brothers, were at the home of the latters'. father. All of them were drink? ing. :. John. Banister-and young Nelson began to' wrestle. While thus playing, Jessie Banister ran up and, grabbing Nel? son, said he was the best man In the crowd. At this juncture Sam. ran up and began cutting at Jessie with his kniie, when John pulled his pistol and fired at Sam., the ball entering his skull. The verdict of tbe Jury was to the effect that the deceased came to'his death by a pistol shot wpund at the bands of his brother, John, who has been committed to jail. The prisoner denies that he fired tbe pis tol. * At a meeting of Hiram Lodge,'No. 68, A. F. M., the following officers were in? stalled into their respective ? poeitiops to serve the. ensuing year: T. F. Hill, i W. M ; F, G. Brown, 8. W. ; W. T. McGill, J. ,W.: F. T.-.Wilhite, Treas.j J.B. Lewis, 860;: Louis Sharps, S. D.; J. P. Ducket, J. W.; J. A. O'Neal and F. A, Spell man, Stewards; J. J. Dodd, Tiler. At the .con? clusion of the installation ceremonies, the members repaired to tbe spacious dining room of the Chiquola and enjoyed the banquet which had been prepared for the ? occasion. Mr. W. T. McGill, chairman of the committee of arrangements presided. At the conclusion of the feast, the chair? man proposed the following toast: "The Grand Masters of South Carolina?may t?ey be in future what they have been in the past, true embodiments of Masonic Eincipies-" Responded to by Past Grand aster R. F. Divver. The next toast was proposed by Dr. J. P. Ducket, as follows : ''The City of Anderson?the most conser? vatively aggressive of all the Piedmont oities. May her growth in the next decade be unparalleled in the history of tbe World." Responded toby MayorG. F. Tolly. The third toast, which was propos? ed by Capt.T. F. Hill, was as follows: "Hiram Lodge?May the lives of her sons ever demonstrate to the world the benefi? cent effects of Masonic principles and teaching." Responded to by Hon. J. L. Tribble. Capt. Hill also proposed another toast, "Masonry," and Gen. W. W. Humphreys was called on to respond to it, which he did. . The hour spent around the festive board was a most delightful one. , Our Christmas Experience. While we were unable to accept all of the . many kind invitations of our friends .to visit them during the Christmas holidays, our time was most delightfully spent with a few of them, and we are again at work . feeling greatly benefited by the recreation. On Christmas afternoon we wont down to the hospitable village of Honca Path, and that night had the pleasure of witnessing the entertainment given by the Dramatic Club of that place. The programme con? sisted of the rendition of a drama, "Little Brown Jug," and two farces, '"Mike Sai? den," and "A Time for all Things.". The various characters in the drama and farces were sustained by Messrs. J. B. Watkins, J. C. Latimer, L. P. Brock, J. F. Wilson, B. Y. Culbertson, W.JP. Culbertson, J. L. Jones, W. ?. Ezelle, L. Y. Moore'and Misses Sallie ?Vatkins, Rosa Tribble and Zula Brock. Despite - the unfavorable weather, the Club was greeted by a large audience, and we venture there was not one who did not enjoy the entertainment. The members of the Club sustained their parts well, many of them displaying con? siderable pramatic talent. During the afternoon preceding the en? tertainment referred to above, a Christmas Tree at the Baptist Church attracted a large crowd and many presents were distributed. We regretted that we could not be present, but we feel very grateful to the kind friends who remembered us with a useful present, which was delivered to us after our arrival in the village. That night we spent at the Honea Patli Hotel, where it is always a pleasure to us to visit. Mr. J. J .-Shirley and his most esti? mable wife never fail to make it pleasant for .their guests. Friday morning was spent in making calls and greeting friends, and about 12 m. we landed at the hospitable home of our clever young friend, Robert M. Shirley, who, until recently, was familiarly known as "Bachelor Bob," but who has now for? saken the bachelor ranks and taken unto himself a charming wife. Here we enjoy? ed a big turkey dinner, and spent -several bonra very pleasantly. Friend Shirley has just completed a new, handsome residence, and seems to bo as happy as a mortal gets to be in this troublesome world. Leaving Honea Path, wo came to Belton, and spent Friday night with our friend, Aaron Geer, at the hospitable home of his mother. Friend Aaron, like ourselves, has not yet bepn so fortunate es to secure a wife but is open to proposals. During the evening a most enjoyable en? tertainment was given in Stringer's Hall, the programme consisting of charades, vo? cal and instrumental music, under the management of Miss Lizaie Cornish, the accomplished music teacher, Our Belton correspondent gl vac the programme and the names of the participants, every one of whom deserved tbe compliments paid them by the appreciative audience. On Saturday we wero so fortunate as to be numbered among the guests invited to partake of a big dinner at the home of Moj. G, W. Cox, one of Belt?n's njosf excellent citizens. This, briefly stated, is our Christmas ox perienoe. We venture you may travel all over the South and you will not And two more delightful villages to visit than Honea Path an&Belton, and you may go. r11 over tho globe and you will not meet up with a more hospitable or clever peo 1 pie than the residents of these two places.

The stores closed for three or four days, aud the clerks have been having a nice time?some hunting, some attending turkey-dinners, some visit? ing relatives and friends in other towns or in the country. Taken all in. all, we think We may safely say that this has been a week of rejoicing* First came the Christ? mas Tree, bringing nice gifts to many and making'many nearts bright and cheerful; then came the charades, which were best enjoyed, perhaps, of auy that have ever been given in Honea Path. Friday night the youngsters enjoyed a nice sociable at tbe residence of Mr. M. JU Latimer, and another at Dr. T. A. Hudgens' on Monday night. Tuesday night many of the young people attended the charades at Donnalds. There has been more social good ieeling, more visiting, more big dinners thau we ever knew in so short a space before We have bad a merry Christmas, and now we wish a happy New Year to all. May it bring peace and happiness throughout our beloved country. ? Among the Anderson people who have contributed by their presence to our enjoy? ment -of Christmas we would mention Messrs. W. F. Cox, G. F. Bigby, C. C. Langston, J. N. Watkins and family and G. E. Moore. Many other pleasant faces have been seen in ourmidst from Laurens, Piedmont, Due West, Columbia, Belton, Greenville and other places. Dr. T. E. Stokes and wife spent Monday night at Dr. Hudgens'.. Rev. B. P. fistesand family are spending several days with relatives in Honea Path. Messrs. A. E. Cox, C. E. Burts, H. H. Watkins, James Shumate, J. A. Hudgens and Miss Nannie Kay have been spending a few days with their parents in and around Honea Path. Rev. R. W. Burts received a nice Christ? mas present from A. T. Smythe, President of Pelzer Cotton Mills, and also a big pounding from the Church. He says the Pelzer people know just how to mako a pastor feel happy. School will begin next Monday, and as our visitors depart the school boys and girls will make things lively by their happy faces. B. ?fiotlco of Thanks. Many thanks are hereby relumed to Mr. J. G.

ChristraaB Ib past and nobody hurt, ex? cept a few who could not attend every "big dinner" or go to all the "shindigs," and they were not bodily hurt. Your correspondent had the happy privilege to be an eye-witness to the mar? riage of Mr. M. B. Jackson and Miss Laura Smith on the 25th inst. Shortly before 12 o'clock m. the officiating minis? ter, Kev. W. B. Hawkins, was ushered nto the parlor, followed by the attend? ants in the order named : Best grooms? man and bridesmaid, Mr. Will Milford and Miss Kate Craig, Mr. Lester Carlisle and Miss Lillie Elrod, Mr. B. J. Smith and Miss Etta Bolt, Mr. Dock Craig and Miss Bettie Smith. Then came the groom and lovely bride, who were united by a short and impressive ceremony. After congratulations were tendered the happy couple, all were summoned to the dining table, which was loaded with substantinls and delicacies, and all did justice to the occasion. It was altogether a moBt pleas? ant affair. Death has again visited our community, and has taken away our friend, Mr. D. D. Gentry. The sad occurrence is regretted by all who knew him. Mr. Gentry was a member of Lebanon Church, and always did an active part in the Church. He leaves a wife and six children, who have the sympathy of many friends. May God bless and comfort the family in their be? reavement. All things work together for the good and glory of those that love and serve God. Mr. D. N. Smith and Mrs. S. C. David? son, of Warrior, Ala., are now here visit? ing relatives. Mr. Smith left South Caro? lina three years ago, and has been ever since employed in a firm owned by Col. T. M. Davidson. He says his health has been good ever since he vacated this State. Miss Agnes Miller, of Seneca, is also here visiting friends. Miss Agnes is a charming young lady, hardly past the : "middle teens." Miss Mamie Quails has gone to Dawson, Ga., to visit relatives. We wish her a de? lightful, peaceful and and happy time There will be no more 1890 alter Thurs? day. The year will be passed, and who can see any good accomplished by his or her hand? Who can say: "I ha v n't wronged anybody during the previous year?" Who can say: ''I have accom? plished all my duties ?" Who will say : "I will do better in the year 1891 than I have in the past, and stick to it?" Who of us will live to Bee the last day of the coming year ? God only knows. Let us so live and act before the people that they seeing our good works may be benefited thereby. If we cannot do any better in the future than we have in the past, don't be like the fellow was -"who couldn't try.' Yours, as ever, . Sins Die. Attention Doctors, Editors Intelligencen: Please allow me space in your columns to address a few remarks to the medical profession of | Anderson County. I would call-their at? tention to the next meeting of the Ander? son Country Medical Society, 'which will be held at Anderson Wednesday, January 7th, 1891, at 11 o'clock a. m., in the rooms of the Library Association. The Society, though re-organized but a few months ago, has had a very successful career, and bids fair to emerge at an early day from infancy to the prestige and usefulness of a full maturity. Its monthly meetings have been both, entertaining and instruct? ive, and upon the membership rolls of the Society are the names of thirty of the most progressive practitioners to be found within the territorial jurisdiction of the organization. The Society, however, cannot attain to its full measure of usefulness until it em? braces among its members all the physi? cians of the County. Those who are not members of the Society are cordially in? vited to attend the first meeting of the new year, .and to co-operate in furthering the interests of the Association, which has for its primary objects the attainment ?f i medical knowledge; the elevation of pro? fessional character: the protection of the interests of, its members; the extension of all measures adapted to the relief of j suffering, and the promotion of means to improve the health and protect the lives of the community. In conclusion, we would urge upon those who are members of the Society the necessity of attending the next meeting, as several important measures in regard to fnture changes, improvements, etc., will be decided. A paper on "Fractures" will also be read by Dr. Duckett, of An? derson, with possibly, the presentation of several interesting cases of ununlted frac? tures. W. E. Campbell, Secretary and Treasurer. A Negro. Bow. - Holland's Stobe, Dec. 28,1890. Editobs ^Iktelligencer : A shooting scrape occurred on last Friday night, at a so-called hot supper, one- mile East of Holland's Store, on the plantation of J. W. Earle, in which a negro by the name of Bill Sherard was severely, if not mor? tally wounded. The wounded man, It seems, went to the house of Bill Pullam during a frolic, and all accounts say, raised a row and shot off his pistol five times while be stood in, or just outside the door, narrowly missing several in the house. He then ran and several of those in the house fol? lowed him, all shooting at him. He fell some fifty yards from the house, and it is Bald two negroes jumped on him, and while one held the other shot him, hold? ing the pistol very close and inflicting a very dangerous wound in the abdomen. He has four wounds in all, one in the lower portion of the abdomen, one under the shoulder, one in the leg and one in the hand. He is apparently very low, but not Buffering much pain.'- Liquor and pis? tols was the main source of the difficulty. .There has been no-move made so far (12 o'clock m. Sunday) to take his ante mortem statement, or arrest the murder? ers, although the nearest magistrate was notified. It seems to us that it should be made .the duty of the. magistrate within whose District a murder or other misde? meanor cccurs to arrest the offender im? mediately before he has time to escape. There might be a Grand Juror appointed for every Township, with the power to arrest offenders and exercise a general sur veilance over the morals of the commu? nity. '_' ? W. Cedar Grove Items. Mr..
