VICE’S Floral Guide for 1886, the
pioneer seed annual of America,
comes to ns this year a real gem,
not a dry list of hard botanical
names, but over tnirty pages of
reading matter, among which are
articles on Roses, House Plants,
Cheap Greenhouse, Ouiou Culture,
Mushrooms, Manures, Young Gard
eners, and very interesting reading,
followed by about 150 pages con
taming illustrations, descriptions
and prices ot seemingly everything
the heart could desire In the line of
Seeds, Plants, Bulbs, Potatoes, Ac.
It is a mystery how this firm can
afford to publish, and really give
away, this beautifnl work of nearly
200 pages of finest paper, with ban-
dreds of illustrations and two tine
Colored Plates, all enclosed in an
elegant cover. Any one desiring
goods in this line cannot do better
than send 10 cents for the Floral
Guide, to James Vick, Seedsman,
Rochester, N. Y. Dednct the 10
cents from first order sent for seeds.
The annual meetingof the Stock-
bo'ders of the Darlington Agricul
tural and Mechanical Fair Com
pany was held on Monday. The
board of directors, 8. A. Gregg, E.
W. Cannon, Lucas McIntosh, W.
E. Dargan, W. L. Galloway, J. W.
Fergnson, H. E. P. Sanders, J. D.
McCall, E. M. Ervin, E. R. Mclver
were re elcted with C. S. McCul
lough, vice J. W. Williamson, de
ceased. The other officers were re
elected, Vice Presidents. W. H.
Evans of Darlington, J. W. Stuckey
of Sumter, John Witherspoon ot
Chesterfield, E. T. Stackhouse of
Marion and W. D. Cropland of Marl
boro’ ; Secretary and Treasurer, W.
E James; Financial Committee,
B. A. Early, W. A. Law and E. M.
Griffin. At a subsequent meeting
of the directors, Col. E. R. Mclver
was unanimously elected President.
This is a good selection, as Col.
Mclver is a wide awake farmer, a
good judge of stock, and as one of
the Vice-Presidents of the State
Fair Association, has fall knowl
edge of what is required to make a
Fair Company successful. The
Company is on a sound financial
basis, with their gronuds, buildings
and fences in good order and witb
money in the treasury.
We have received the following
pieces of music: Mary Darling
must you lepre me T By H. P.
Dunks. This little song is one of
the prettiest sentimental effusions
we remember to have seen. The
words are excellent while the author
of “Silver Threads among the Gold”
seems to have written a song which
will make him more famous than
“Silver Threads”did, and certainly
this song is far ahead of that one
in elements of lasting popularity.

day last. There were cast 250 votes
of which J. J. Ward received 129,
John Siskron 120,1 scattering; ma

work was done by both sides.
Mb. F. G. Hbpp, a jeweler of our
town has been in bad health for
some time and lately got worse.
Notice was sent to his relatives in
Charleston and on Tuesday Mr. Ap-
ler came up to look after him. Mr.
Hepp is better and will be moved
to Charles ton as soon as he is able
to stand the trip. He has been
kindly tended to by ouroitizeos and
Ms wants supplied. The Y. A. S.
F. E. Co., of which he was a mem
bee, have specially looked after
him. Since going to press we learn
that Mr. Hepp died yesterday alter
noon at 6 o’clock. He was a genial
and kind-hearted gentleman and
We are pained to have to chronicle
bia death.

In Memorial!!.
Companion John W. Williamson
died t hi.-i resid> uoe in this conn y
on November 20th, 1885, alter
a protracted illness. His death,
though not unexpected, came with
paiuful suddenness, as the death of
a friend always does, however we
may feel prepared for the event.
Cheerful, patient, thoughtful, ever
ready, by word or deed, to assist
the Council iu its undertakings and
charities, his death will be a sad
loss. Of a genial aud kind disposi
tion, he attracted many friends,
who will miss his hearty salutation,
bis warm friendship aud his un
swerving faithfulness.
It is meet aud fitting that we
should twine the evergreen with
the badges of mourning.
Resolvtd 1st. That in the death of
John W. Williamson, this Council
has suffered 'he loss of an honored
and true-hearted companion, aud
its members a beloved aud faithful
friend.
Renolved 2nd. That this tribute to
his memory be placed upon record.
Resolved 3rd. That a copy of this
preamble and these resolutions be
published in the Darlington
News and a copy sent to the widow
of our deceased companion, with
our heartfelt sympathy with her iu
her sad bereavement.
