Lewis Moorhead died at his home near Lowndesville on Monday, 2Sth ult.

Moorhead was a son of John Moorhead, deceased, and was born and reared near "Walhalla. In his early manhood he came to Ander? son and was engaged in business here for several years. He afterwards did business in Greenville and Honea Path, and a few years ago moved down to his farm, where he died.

Anderson was about 67 years of age, and had long been a citizen uf Williatnston. He was strictly an upright, honest man. and by his death Anderson County loses a most noble and excellent citizen. He was a most zealous member and officer of the Presbyterian Church, and hi? work there will be greatly missed.

Mr. S. T. Craig, as was stated in our last issue, has moved into his handsome new residence, and on New Year's night he in? vited his workmen and a few friends to gather around a bountiful table, which had been spread especially for the occa? sion. We were one of the fortunate who had been summoned to attend, and, of course, we were thete. Mrs. Craig has an enviable reputation in the culinary art among her numerous friends, and we knew we were going to sit down to an elegant leant?one that a country editor does not enjoy often?and so It was. The bill of fare included every luxury and substantial of the season, prepaied and served in the best of style, and the guests did justice to it. Officer King, Anderson's baby policeman, was present, and favored the guests with some good music. Mr. and Mrs. Craig made it a most delightful evening for their guests, who will long re? member the occasion. Mrs. Elizabeth Smith died at her borne in Fayette County, Ind., on Christmas Day, and the announcement of her death was heard with regret by her old friends and relatives in and around Anderson. Mrs. Smith was born in Abbeville District April 9,179G, and was therefore in the 9Gth year of her age. She was the eldest of seven children of the late John and Mary Brown. In early life she married Rev. George Smith, of the Methodist Church, and for more than seventy years of her long life was a consistent member of that Church. A number of years preceding the war Mr. and Mrs. Smith moved to Indiana. Her husband preceded her to the grave about fifteen years, and in 1882 she returned to South Carolina and lived here until 1889. when she went back to Indiana, that she might be buried by the side of her hus? band.

Palmer Gaillard died at the residence of his Bister, Mrs. R. L. Orborne, in this city, on the morning of the 2nd inst. Mr. Gaillard had been sick for a number of months, and came to Anderson about two months before bis death. Dropsy of the fpart was tbe illness that brought on bis ?fceatb, and his physicians were unable to fttay the band of the disease that had fas? tened itself upon him. The funeral took place Sabbath afternoon. Services were held in the Methodist Church by the pas? tor, the Rev. C. B. Smith, after which the body was borne to Silver Brook Cemetery and there laid to rest. Messrs. Wm. Liugblin. T. F. Hill, C. F. Jones, R. S, Hill, A. G. Means and D. S. Maxwell acted as pall bearers.

For the last 10 or 12 years be had been a citizen of Pendleton. A large circle of friends will lament the death of Palmer Gail'a-d. This week's issue is really the first of the colored Leslie numbers. A magnifi? cent frontispiece, finer than anything be? fore on an American publication, graces its pages. It represents a cow-boy race on the plains, and is printed in four colors. It is artistic to a de? gree unknown. The women will be interested in the picture which shows Baby Ruth Cleveland taking an airing, The striking picture of the burning of the steamer Abgssinia in mid-ocean and the rescue of the passengers; the magnificent features of the great poet, Walt Whit? man ; figure pieces by tbe best ameteur photographers, and the pages devoted to the children and the graphological depart? ment, will interest our readers. The beau? tiful bit of music called "Christmas Chimes" and the fourth of tbe series of tbe articles by Professor Totten make it the most interesting publication of the new year. It is a wonder how twelve such good numbers can be furnished, together with the grapbological chart, and an oder on Peter Henderson & Co. for ?1.25 worth ot roses or chrysanthemum plants or flower seeds, for $1.00; but the Arkell Weekly Company, 110 Fifth Avenue, New York, are enterprising people.

Wm. Munro and Chas. C. Culp, Esq., as his counsel. Biahop was a most desper? ate character, and the sentiment of the oeople of Union are with Murrah. The Spartan burg Spartan, in speaking of the affray, says : "Bob Bishop was shot and killed in Union Monday evening. A re? port that reached this place Tuesday morning is about as follows : Duriug the day Bishop was drinking. He had a quarrel or two with a tinner by the name of Tom Murrah. In the evening Bishop went into a store, di ew a knife and threat? ened to cut some person. Murrah was passing by and Bishop being in tbe door, or near it, the quarrel was renewed when Murrah fired and killed him. Murrah came from Anderson with Mr. BewJey several years ago. He is said to be a quiet, well-behaved man. Bishop's career has been a bloody one. He was a powerful man physically and when drinkiug was reckless. He killed a marshal at Blacks Beveral years ago and was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to the peni? tentiary three years. He was pardoned a short time before expiration of his sen? tence. He was a great bully and took pleasure in intimidating the police force of any town. Bis violent death is what might have been expected any day. No one here is surprised to hear it." Mr. J Murrah has been admitted to bail. Married. On Thursday, December 23, 1591, at the residence of John G. Hall, by Rev. W. C. Seaborn, Col. H. Billingsley, of Pickens County, S.

It is not often, Mr. Editor, that the read? ers of the Intellig.enc.tr hear from our section, and as the news contributed by lo? cal correspondents is one of the most in? teresting features of tbe papor, and as we have so much news about here, I cannot forego the opportunity to let you hear from us. Fiat Rock is certainly rising. We now have two fine Churches?Baptist and Pres? byterian?and will have preaching four times a month this j'ear by lirst-class di? vines. We also, have just built a new school house, 40x30, which is elegantly finished and handsomely furnished. We have suii scribed $100 to the school fund, and secured a classical teacher lor ten months. All we lack now of being a town is a store, postollico and blacksmith shop. We have the material, and the others will come. We are all at peace and haye good will to? ward each other. Young folks, here is the place to get the marriage ceremony performed. If you can't lind either of the three preachers, we have one Trial Justice and six Notaries Public in a radius of oue mile. If you get sick four doctors.iu two miles If hungry six mills and cotton gins and saw mills, all run by steam, inside two mile:. If any other place in the County can beat this speak out. Tho only thing some people might object to is chickens crowing, guineas pot-racking and geese cackling. You know that we live in sight of each other. I did not know what to say about it until I saw the Corner dots ; I will tell you another time, eh ! But I do love tur? keys and geese. I believe I will plant tur? nips, peas and barloy. 1 want to say a word or two in favor of our domestic wines, recently legislated upon. There aro other laws besides Stat? utes.

A fow nights o?o the young people of our Community mot at the residence of our pastor, where they organized a choir to be known as the Cottage Choir, the ob jf-ot of which will be to excel in musir. Weekly meetings will be held, and much improvement in singing is expected That is much buffer than frollicking and dancing. It shows that our young I eoplu are made of bettor material, and that they have more self-respect than those of some other communitie?, and that they had rather praise God in song than to worship the devil in their dance. May others follow their example. Well, the children have about got through marrying, so tho grown folks have started again. At the residence'of the bride's father, Mr. Marfon King, Mr. Melzer Kiley and Miss Nora King were married December 24th, 1801, Itev. T. H. Garrelt officiating.
