missionary in China from the Southern

Under the law passed at the session of
the Legislature last year, the assessment
of property will be made in the month OF
January, 1886, and the taxes will be col
lected on these assessments during the
wear in which they were made. This
change in the law will enable tax officers
to correct many erroneous returns on
their books promptly, and will prevent
many mistakes on the part of taxpayers.
Under the old system, where assessments
were made the year previous to the COL
lection Of taxes, there was more or less
confusion.

Thanksgiving Day was more generally
observed in this city than it has been since
the war. Business of all kinds was sus-
pended, the weather was fine and every
body seemed to be in their happiest mood.
A union service was held in the Baptist
Church, and was attended by a large au-
dience. Rev. ]. w. Wolling, of the Meth
eodist Church, preached most excellent
and interesting sermon. At the conclu-
sion of the services acollection was taken
up for the Galveston and Selma sufferers.
Services were also held in the colored
Methodist Church. In many homes the
day was celebrated by the gathering Of
friends and relatives around hospitable
boards, loaded with every delicacy in ad-
dition to the regulation piece dc resistance,
the turkey.
Next Sunday completes Rev. J. w.
Wolling's third ecclesiastical year as pas
tor of the Methodist Church in this city.
His labors here have not been in vain, for
accessions have been made to the Church,
which is also in q most excellent condi-
ton, financially and otherwise. During
his residence here he has ever been found
anxious to promote the best interests of
our community, not only as q minister,
but in all other respects. He has not
only made himself popular with his own
denomination, but with our whole people,
among whom he has made many, very
many, warm and lasting friends. Under
the rules ofihis Church, Mr.. Wolling can
serve his denomination in this city
another 'year,Iif the Bishop is SO disposed,
and we know we speak the sentiment Of
his congregation, and our whole people
when we say that his return to Anderson
would be both gratifying and acceptable
to them.
