Like the actions of tbe present year, it is numbered with tbe things that were. It was here before the first spade of earth was thrown to build theC &G Railroad. It was built by John Greer, and was tbe-first prominent residence in the place. Mrs. J. B. Blgby was occupy? ing it, bo", it was owned by Mrs. Laura Shirley. No one was in the bouse when it took fire. The fire was soon out as it bad to burn against the wind. Time was given to save all the furniture except one tumbler. Though it stood near tbe post office and several other wooden structures through tbe most favorable situation of the wind and tbe earnest efforts of tbe cit? izens the fire was kept from spreading. Had the wind been blowing from tha South the whole blook would have burnt out on tho east side of Main street. No insurance. The fire took place in the up? per story, no one knew how." Saturday preceding Christmas attract? ed one of t he largest crowds ever seen on the streets of Anderson. People were here from Georgia and all the neighbor? ing counties, and the merchants had all the business they could attend to. Dr. Leo, of course, was the maiu attraction of the day, and when his free show be? gan there was standing room only on the west side of the Court Housie Square, and then all of tbe people could not get in see? ing or hearing distance of the Doctor's platform. Mrs. Smith, tho afflicted wo? man, who bad not walked a step in near? ly two years was brought on the stand and tbe Dootor began to apply his lini? ment. Iu a short time tho Doctor walked out from the screen and told the afflicted, woman to follow. She made an effort but seemed to have no confidence in herself. She again made an effort and succeeded, and when she reached the Doctor she throw her arms around him, kissed him. and wept tears of joy. As this happened the crowd gave vent to their fealings with a tumultuous yell of applause, and a lib? eral contribution was prenented to the Soor woman. Several other patient?, oth white and black, weie also treated by the Doctor. At tho oonclusion, the Doctor was presented with a beautiful gold medal by Mr. D. H. Carlisle in be? half of a number of friends. The Doctor leaves to-day for Greenville, whore he will spend a few weeks making the lame to walk and tho blind to to see. i It was onr pleasure to spend Christmas night iu Belton and attend an entertain? ment given by the Belton Dramatic Club. The program consisted of that interesting little drama, "The Last Loaf," followed by a laughable farce, "Jumbo Jum." The characters in the drama were represented by Misses Rosa Poore, Eva Stringer, Rena Rice, and Messrs. W. K. Stringer, M. E. Geer, W. C. Clinkscales, I. W. Cox and F. M. Cox. In tbe farce, Miss Rosa Poore, MissMattie Brown, Miss Eva Strin? ger, Messrs. Floyd Cox, Ohirlie Acker, Walter Cox aud Ernest Geer represented tbe character*. The Club was greeted by a large and appreciative audience, and everybody enjoyed tbe entertainment. Tbe young ladies and gentlemen rendered their characters exceedingly well. With one or two exceptions, none of them bad ever appeared on the stage before. Tbe entertainment was given in the large hall of the Academy building, which has just been completed, and which is a credit to the town. A visit to Belton is always a pleasure to ub, for you may travel the world over, and not find a more clever and hospitable people than those who reside there. Last Friday morning, about S o'clock, fire was discovered on the first floor of tbe building occupied by the Intelli? gencer. The first floor was occupied by J. P. Catlott's green grocery and Xee <fe Co's. grocery and confectionery. Mur? ray ?fe Watkins, attorneys at law, and tbe Intelligencer are on the second floor. The fire was discovered by a ne? gro boy, who had been to Fowler's livery stable to leave a carriage. Policeman Dillingham had just been relieved .from duty and had retired to his room, which is on the opposite side of the street from the building. He rushed down stairs to the building, and in tho meantime Po? liceman M-Kinney sounded the alarm. The fire was burning very rapidly, but in a short time Anderson's brave firemen were on band and at work. The wind was blowing, everything was very dry, and it was feared that the fire bad got too far ahead to control it. Streams from two hydrants were playingon tbe flames, and in a few minutes the firemen were tbe victors. Tbe goods, furnishings, shelving and counters on the lower floor were destroyed, and the building greatly damaged. The front windows of the. second story were burned out, and near? ly all tho books, papers, &c, of Murray & Watkins' office wore ruined. The In? telligence office suffered more from water and smoke. All of our stook of stationery was ruined, and the presses, other machinery and type were badly damaged. The total damage to the build? ing and its contents will probably reach ?2,500, which is covered by insurance. The Intelligencer office is in such a condition that it will cause us a great deal of trouble and inconvenience to get in proper shape again. Fire broke out in '.he same place on Saturday night, 23d nit., but was discovered and put out be? fore much damage was done. Anderson is and ought to be proud of her firemen and water works, Marriages. By S. N. Browne, Trial Justice, on Sun? day, December 24, 1893, Mr. J. J.

One of the prettiest and most impressive weddings in Anderson's' history ocourred on Wednesday evening, December 20th, in the First Baptist Church, uniting in marriage Dr. F. L. Narramore and Miss Nettie Miller, both of this city. The Church, which had been appro? priately and tastefully decorated for the occasion, presented a scene of brilliancy and beauty. Two approaches to the ros? trum were spanned by evergreen arches, from one of which was suspended the initial N. and from the other the initial M. By 8 o'clock, the hour appointed for the ceremony, the commodious building was filled with the friends and acquaint? ances of the bridal party. As the familiar strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march bu st forth from the large Sipe organ under the skillful touch of lias Virginia Evan*, the organist for the occasion, the two charming little flower girls, Misses Anna Cunningham and Julia Fant, marched down the aisles.

Mr. Will Wbitten has moved to Town vilie. He lives in the Dlckson houpe. I think it would be a good plan for preachers to refuse to supply a Church that had failed to pay their pastor the year before. Mr. G. W. Grant, of Seneca, S. C, has bought land near this place and will move to it in the near future. Mr. G. W. Rice, who has lived many years near this place, bas now moved to the Sandy Springs community. Mr. Wayne Fant, of Boleman, S. C-, is now the happiest of men. It's a boy. ? We stand very much in need of a pub? lic road starting at J. A. Gainea', of this place, thence to Simmon's Ford. There is a large scope of country, with nothing but gullies to pull over, which has a con? siderable travel. Mr. John H. Burns, of Texas, is visit? ing bia relatives and friends in Anderson and Oconee. He will etay about two weeks. ' Mr. Willie Myers died on the night of of the 22ad of December, 1893. Be was a young man of promise, and had been sick with typhoid fever, but was conva? lescing when he was seized with violent .cramps and died in a few hours. He was burled in the Townville cemetery, after appropriate services by the Rev. J. F. Singleton. Mr. Lycurgns Mosely, our picture man, has pulled down.bia tent and gone back to his father's to spend awhilo. Mr. T. Scott Bruce, of Grayson County, Texas, is visiting relatives in this County. Mr. Brnoe has been successful in Texas, making money, being now worth between forty and fifty thousand.?He went from this country twelve years ago a poor boy. That shows what pluck and determina? tion will do. Prof. J. W. Gaines and wife attended Church here fourth Sunday in December. Mr. Editor, I went to E P. Earle's the other day to a dinner and a hunt. I en? joyed myself very much. Mr. Earle is a man that in very rich, and he dou't seem to know it. The whole family is as clever as they cc.n be. Be entertains bis frionds like a king and makes them feel at home. While I waB being entertained so royally, I thought of Mrs. Rosin De Bow and the little Rosin De "Bows and wished they bad some of the good things to eat. Mr. Luther Fant was married to Miss Mamie Dalrymple on the 26th ult. Rev. J. R. Earle performed the ceremony. The contracting parties are both of high standing families. The County Commissioners still let tbo shelter stay in the road. I heard a promi? nent and influential Tillman man say the other day that if the Commissioners let that shelter stay in the road be would canvass the County against them if they ever run any more, lie says it is a bad precedent to let the shelter stay lu the road, and will cause more law suits and run the County to expense by other peo? ple encroaching on the public road, and further says that no man is fit for a Coun? ty Commissioner that will suffer the shel? ter to stay in the road. He says the idea of one man backing the County Commis? sioners down. Tbey have ordered Mr. Holcombe to movo the shelter, but now are afraid to make him do it. They will have to make him do it and they just as well begin right now, for these parties who own the land that the public is trav? elling on tire going to enclose it, and when tbey do the people will have to go through the shelter to pass. _ Old Rosin De Bow. ?

Christmas week passed off here with the usual amonnt of noise, several .very pleasant social gatherings and numerous "entertainments," all of which were up to schedule and without a blemish. The boys deserve to be congratulated for their oommendable deportment. Instead of tearing down fences and building them up across tbe roads, swinging wagon and carriage wheels in tbe tree tops, hiding farm implements, stopping up stove flues, etc., and alarming tbo settlement in gen? eral, they amused themselves Indoors more and let the little fellows kick up the noise, making the week one of unalloyed and snperexcellent pleasantness. Several cases of la grippe are reported in this vicinity. Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Stone, of Donnalds, visited relatives and friends at this place l?st WGfilC Dr. W. A. Tri pp, of the Atlanta Medical College, paid us a very pleasant call Satur? day. Some of the city cousins spent a week in Newell recently, and during that time tbey all went a banting. When tbe guns were distributed they lacked one of hav? ing enough to go around, and as they couldn't borrow one just then tbey cast lots for an old flint and steel fowling piece that was stored among the relies of the family; it fell upon one of the city coaslns, whom we shall call Albert, to use this ante bellum gun, which wai brought fourth amid cheers and loud ap? plause. Shu.waa pronounced as being in a fine state of preservation, and after receiv? ing ample instructions as to how she should be loaded, Albert threw ber over bis shoulder and off tbey were. Before they had gone far a conversation arose and all being anxious to have some fun out of Albert, it soon drifted on to bis gun?how she really ought to be loaded if be wan ted to bag any game, etc "That gun ought to .be loaded heavier than grandfather Bald." chimed in one of the boys. "You bet!" said another. "Yes," echoed another, "It has been so long since he his bunted any that he's forgot." And before tbey all got through they bad the gun loaded to suit themselves. Tramping on down a long line of rail fence, Albert spies a rabbit in one corner, and, ignorant of what is in store for him puts his gun to bis shoulder, takes aim and pulls the trigger. "Kerflashup?aiz z zle-bang I" and a dense cloud of smoke enveloped the scene. In Albert's own language you get tbo conclusion : ''When the smoke cleared away so I could see I found my? self on thovother side of tbe fence and the blamed thing a kicking at me through tbe cracks. I knew that she had evil in? tentions from the way she clicked when I pulled this hammer back, and I always shall believe that she would have killed me if I badnlt jumped the fence when she slz-z-zled."
