Maj. Buist, the Coroner, helc an inquest on Monday. Boyce Clark and Bill Davis are botl: a in jail. The Coroner's verdict is thal Jim Suber came to his death by a wound inflicted by Bill Davis. The I Solicitor on Tuesday had some wit nesses bound over who were not ex amined at the inquest. Davis and i Clark claim that the shooting was acci . dental, but there seems to be some evi dence that it was not. It is said that whiskey was at the bottom of the dif ficulty. Shot Near Jalapa. Tom Butler, colored, 'living near Ja lapa, emptied the contents of a shot gun into Pink Clark, another colored man, The shot took effect in the abdomen, and is quite a dangerous wound. Ton Butler came into town and gave him self up to the sheriff. The cause of the shooting is said to have been Pink's attention to Tom's wife. Thd affair took place Weduesday of last week.

Among our schoolmates inearliest years, at the old male academy, which has so lately been pulled down to make room for a new one, none were keener, wittier, more original, more popular than J. Hartwell Blease. On Monday last, from his home of long years in New berry, he suddenly appeared in our office and looking at us in his old quizzical way, said the word, "Jim mie." For us, the look and the word amounted to a life history of fifty odd years. Through thick and through thin, however, our old friend is pros perous and happy. With many other original settlers in Edgefield, we were unfeignedly glad to see him.-Edgefield Chronicle. Just from Germany. On Monday last Johan Kleinschnidt arrived in Nawberry from Germany with his family, consisting of his wife Frederike Kleinschmidt and five chil dren-their daughter Alrine and four sons Richard, Albert, Hugo and John.

Mr. Kraus, was- at work in the field when the family ar rived Monday afternoon at his house.

WIelcr, the Board of As- 1 seirs,hav compijleted theira.ssients of the real property in the town of Newberry. The list is now on file in the ollice of the clerk and treasurer for the inspection of landowners, who have until October 5th to file any re quests for reduction. Owners and holders of personal property must make their returns from the 1st to the 10th of October. We make the following comparison of the asessments for the last two years: 18.8. 1889. Ward I.........$130,855 00 $131,050 00 Ward 2......... 209,200 00 217,157 00 Ward 3......... 1(;3,235 () 177,335 0 Ward 4......... 451,120 00 435,565 00 Total..........1954,410.0 c91,1 . :) This shows an apparent increase over last year of $6,690. The Board of Assessors state in their report that they believe the former as sessnients were two high, and should be reduced from ten to twenty per cent, but under existing circumstances they did not f:el that it was expedient to make such reduction, and they have endeavored by 'the changes they have made to equalize and affix the true relative value of each lot of real estate. These changes, when compared with other years, will show a larger increase than the above figures. Cotton Receipts.

The final steps will be taken at the approaching quarterly con ference of the circuit in September, though the division will not go into ef fect until after the annual conference in December. One circuit will be composed of the following churches: WVightman Chap-] el (at Prosperity,) Zion, New Hope and Mt. Pleasant-with the parsonage at Prosperity. The other will be compos ed of Ebenezer, New Chapel,- Trinity and Lebanon-with the parsonage at' Newberry.

Every household should adopt sanitary regulations and observe them. Every man should be a health officer, and see that his premises are kept scrupulously clean. The backyard and the street should be as clean as the front yard. Under the house should be as clean as in the house. ~Kitchens, basements and cellars; fowl-houses, stables and pig-pens; ditches, drains and gutters, &c., should be cleansed and renovated wherever necessary, and disinfectants, deodorizers and fu migants freely used. Decaying vegeta tion should be destroyed, low places filled, and alley-ways purified. Wells should not be less than one hundred feet from places of disease-producing germs, so that neither by interstitial drainage nor through the water-veins might impurities be communicated to the drinking water. Do not remove the de/>ris from the yard to the road-way unless to fill low places which should be covered with earth, for it is unneat to let it remain in unsightly piles about the street.
