Capt. 13. C. Martin is dead. At bis homo in Williamston, about 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon of last week, while quietly seated in a chair, death came to him and numbered him with tho groat army that is daily pass ing into the great beyond. Had ho been summoned a few days later, he would have finished his tod year in this lifo. Ho was born January 1st, 1830. Anderson County was always bis home and ho hart been a prominent, useful citizen. When the war clouds of 61*05 were gathering he was prompt in volunteering his services and aided in raising a company of 100 gallant men with J. W. Brandet as Captain. This was Company D, Eighteenth Reg iment, S. C. V., and the deceased was First J ieutenant. This company did gallant service and Lieutenant .Martin was promoted to tho Captaincy. The war being over, the devotion of tho deceased to bis County showed itself in tho reconstruction period in the firm stands always taken by him; and when in 187?J thu opportunity to redeem tho State under thu leadership of the gal lant Hampton presented itself, none gave evidence of more energy and promptness than B. C. Martin. Under tho old Constitution tho de ceased served several terms as member of tho County Board of Commissioners, serving acceptably and with honor. Of late years tho infirraatives of ago prevented Iiis taking a lending part in political affairs, but his interest never abated, mid to the last that anconi-' ?remising firmness which characterized im through life, was plainly noticea ble. Tho wife, formerly Miss Cornelia Rruazeale, and three children survive him. The children aro Thomas J. Martin, of Hickory. N. C., and Mrs. L. , lt. Tucker and Mrs. Victoria Good gion, of this County. Ho also leaves a twin brother, Mr. Thomas C. Martin, ?d' Greenville, and. two sisters, Mrs. A. ?. Martin and Air*. C. E. Seawright, of t'o* County. I'ho deceased was a devout member i-t the Baptist Church, and was for many years a deacon. He was respect ed and honored und his well-spent lifo isa bright heritage to his children. His illness immediately preceding his death was oulysnch as results from old age, and his sudden death was alto gether unexpected. Thu interment was at Williamston Wednesday after noon, the 24th interest. Enjoyable Occasions. During the last week, in honor of the beloved Christmas season. Time has once more turned backward and en dowed its older members with the de lights of childhood.

Lafayette La neon was chosen by the saint as High Chief Oracle, and a Mrs. Santa Claus, who was thu delight and merriment of the gathering, accompanied, nu well ns two minor ollicials, whose garb could univ be planned in regions far from stoical civilization.
