Editors Intelligenoer: Since our recent affliction and sad bereavement, we have received numerous kind letters of sympathy and condolence from our friends and neighbors in Anderson, and we desire through tbe columns of the Intelligen? cer to respond to oil of them. Words fail us to express our appreciation of the many kind words expressed in these letters, and we assure our old friends that tbe recep? tion of their letters did us a great deal of good and helped us to bear our burden of sorrow. We pray that God will abundant? ly bless them for their kindness and com? forting words of sympathy We wish it were possible to meet each one?especially those kind ladies in Rook Mills Township ?and thank them personally. Bat this is impossible, and we beg tbey will take tbe will for tbe deed.

Tbe Lord doeth all things for the best. Very respectfully, T. 0. t hearer. A Card. Editors Intelligencer: In your issue of November 27th there appeared a com? munication under tbe caption "Cedar Grove Items," in one paragraph of which a Blur is oast upon tbe Cedar Grove Church. The correspondent stated that the Church was in a tangle and that it would take fifty deacons to straighten the congregation. Now, if his idea is that the congregation is to be straighten? ed by deacons, no wonder be raised it to fifty. I was at a loss to know who wrote tbe article, and upon inquiry at your office, to my utter astonishment, a manu? script was produced with my name as tbe author. I positively deny writing tbe article, or haying given, directly or Indi? rectly, any person the authority to sign my name to tbe communication and knew nothing of it until it appeared in the paper. At the usual time an election for pastor of the Church was held for the ensuing year, and there was a change, Rev. W. B. Hawkins being elected by a majority vote. Immediately after the election some seven or eight members called for letters of dismission, and, so far as I know, not one of them has ever uttered a word against Rro. Hawkins The Church is still here and to stay with? out a tangle. I think the correspondent has undertakan tbe art of mind-reading and became tangled himself. He should have the manhood to sign his own name to his communications and stop forging mine. Very respectfully, A. L. Copeland. [Note?When our attention was called to the article we brought out tbe manu script and after looking at it carefully we saw that it was not in the handwriting of Mr. Copeland, who has frequently con? tributed to our columns, and in justice to Mr, Copeland we think it our duty to make this statement. We have no idea who was the author of, the article, and both Mr. Copeland and tbe Intelligkn cer have been imposed upon.] Christinas Holiday Bates v'a Port Boysl and Western Carolina Railway.
