We have received a very interest
ing pamphlet giving a description
of a panoramic picture of the 2nd
battle of Manasses, now on exhibi
tion at Washington, D. C., corner
Fifteenth street and Ohio Avenue.
Tbe location of the spectator is
placed just in front of Gen. Lee’s
stand, as Sykes’ division is attack
ing Jackson’s right on August 30,
1862. From newspaper reports
the panorama i s remarkably
correct and life like and has created
many favorable criticisms. -

W. Va. where be moved from New
Hanover. The Richmond Dupatch

horse of tbe Democracy in the
South-Branch Valley.’’ Although
the Major “fit, bled, bat couldn’t
die” for Virginia twenty odd years
ago, he is still as young in spirit as
anyof bisnephewsand tbeir friends.
He will remain about two weeks.
Take tbe baby and have it’s pic

On Wednesday night of last
week the steam fire engine was
hauled down to tbe creek and 1650
feet of hose laid np to the cistern
on tbe. square. One cistern was
filled in four hoars, bat the break
ing of one or two sections of hose
prevented filling the other into
which tbe wind mill was already
pumping. By Thursday morning
it was eviJent that both cisterns
were feaking, and the water being
pumped out by tbe steamer, Capt.
Behrens, tbe contractor replastered
tbe interior with fresh cement. On
Monday the steamer was again
pat to work filling one of the cis
terns, which was said to be ready,
bat a leak sprung, and after 6 boars
work, it was tonnd that the water
leaked out nearly as past as it was
put in Both cisterns will have to
be re-cemented with a better ma
terial than that used as yet, and it
ought to be done at once. The
council have not received the work
aod will not nntil it is proved that
both cisterns will hold water with
out leaking, bnt in tbe mean time
there is no water supply in case of
a fire.
Blanch Curtisse the Vassar Beauty In
•‘Only a Farmer’s Daughter.’’
One thousand dollars in cash was
the sum actually paid by a well to-
do gentleman iu Montreal, Canada,
for a reproduction at that place of
the play, “Only a Farmer’s Daugh
ter.” For that night he extended
invitations to bis friends in general
aud to a few intimate ones iu par
ticular. His case had been so
similar to that of Harry Lennox in
his domestic relations, save the ex
treme to which the play writer
makes the latter go, that it tratis
t« ruled him into a -new man just as
the author makes the result with
Lennox. Nor did the benefits stop
here; there were four other gentle
men who thus were made aware ot
their drilling conditions and who
turned from the error of their ways
This actual experience is what is
here tendered as speaking for tbe
morale of tbe play As originally
produced there was a vast difference
iu the closing scenes, but to finale
it as a dream from the 2d act to the
5tb, has been deemed by leading
critics as tbe most acceptable de
nouement.
This great American drama, with
the original New York Cast, will be
produced at the 0;>era House Sat
urday March, 27. Reserve seats
for sale at Boyd’s Drug Store.
FLORENCE.
—Onr town gardens are green
ing up.
—Colds are very prevalent, the
result I suppose of tbe obaugabie
weather.
—▲ Bank at Florence will be se
riously considered by John Kuker
and others this summer.
—Several new dwellings are in
progress ot conatraction and still
there is room for more.
—The farmers around here have
gone to work in earnest, and the
lauds will all soon be ready for tbe
seed.
—Florence is the best location
for a large sash, blind aud door fac
lory in the State. Strange some
one does not come here and start
one.
—The Daelington News is
pretty generally read in Florence,
but its editor’s visits are too few
and far between. Why does he
keep himself so close T The “K. K.
K.” wnl not go for him if he tramps
over here otteuer.
“Sid” and the “Baron” will have
to boild a larger “Jacobi House”
judging from tbe crowds of travel
ers around tbe office at tim*-s,
“Sid” is the most popular hotel man
on the Atlantic Uoaat Line, aud de
servedly so.
—The “mills” of the Town Court
and Trial Justice Kershaw, grind
not at all.and the Justice is pre
paring to entertain all callers with
easy chairs, aud good snmmer ac
commodations in the sha|ie of chat
on all leading subjects—especially
steam engines aud agricnitural ma
obiuery ot all kind*.
—Chief Gnde of our Fire Depart
ment and President Jellico of the
Hope Steam F. E. Co., will give
year firemen a good time when
ever the brave boys of old Darling
ton desire to have a tilt and test ot
skill. Let ns have a team from
your city in April.
—The new Catholic Church will
socn be finished, and will be a pret
ty aud neat building. Our Catholic
citizens have worked bard for years
to get a church, aod at last their
labors have been successful, much
to tbeir credit We congratulate
them
—We can boast of more pretty—
yes, very pretty and bewitching
young ladies than any town in tbe
State. And ail oar married men
have handsome wives, too. The
sweet “little single dears” are just
too sweet, and cause considerable
palpitation “under tbe vests” of tbe
young men, as well as admiration
on tbe part of the old fellows.
—A gentleman, whose opinion is
worth something, said on onr
streets a few days ago that the next
Governor of Sooth Carolina will be
either Gen. W. W. Harllee of Mar
lon, or Hon. W. C. Coker of Dar
lington. What say yon 1 If it was
left to Florence to select, it would
be “tight and tight,” with Coker a
little a head.
—A visit to tbe extensive rail
road machine and car shops here
will repay any one. There you will
see and learn that the best and
heaviest work is done here by skill
ful bauds. Tbe “bosses” are all
courteous and pleasant gentlemen
and will show yon around with great
pleasure. Capt. G. G. Lynch, tbe
very gentlemanly master of trans-
porta'Jon, has his bands full of duty
all the time, but he always has a
moment to give to those who would
like to walk through the extensive
shops. Tbe Captain has a host of
friends here.
—The K. of L. had a “big time”
here on the night ot tbe 15th inst.,
the occasion was a grand lecture on
tbe principles and purposes of the
order. The order in Florence is
quite targe, and their platform of
principles liberal and conservative
indeed. There will be nothing rash
or wrong done by the order, they
will cultivate a feeling of seenrity
aud harmony among all classes,
and will not permit the order to be
made a political political engine,
but they will hold fast to their own
platform of principles and move on-
want with prudence and liberality.
—Mr. Robert M. Rogers and his
accomplished wife contemplate
moving to Florence, that their chiln-
ren may have the benefit of our
graded tchool. Tbe family will be
quite an acquisition to our commu
nity. Tuose who have read the
beautiful terns of |K»etry, and other
brilliant writings of Mrs. Rogers re
gret that they are not given to the
press, that the world of culture and
refinement may erjoy and fully ap
preciate her talent. A hearty wel
come awaits iV r. Rogers aud his
family, and Mrs. Rogers will find a
congenial circle of culture among
onr Florence ladies.
—The time is drawing near for
,our town election, and yet it is very
hard to say who w! I be nominated
for the offices. Several prominent
gentlemen are spoken of tor mayor,
among whom are Z. T. Kershaw.
Esq., W. A. Brunson, Esq., VV. J.
Norris and John Kuker, but none
of these gentlemen seem to crave
the honor, notwithstanding that
ea< b has a strong support. It is
not probable that there will be two
tickets iu the field—yet it is possi
ble; the convention will center niton
some one for mayor, aud makeup
tbe wardens from the many spoken
of. If two tickets are put in the
field we will have the “old time”
excitement on election day .
—Mr. John Kuker, who has accu
mulated considerable wealth by
very hard work in Florence, no lon
ger keeps a stock of general mer
chandise, but with a proper spirit
of enterprise, be now places his
large means in proper sba|*e for the
benefit of our farmers. Money or
supplies in package, he liberally
supplies to tiny tarmer of good rep
utation and responsibility, and he
asks no more security than the
farmers have been giving to city
(actors all their lives; but Mr. K.
is content with less interest. John
Kuker is a acM-tnade aud tin rough
business man, liberal, kind and in
dulgent. aud this business step, on
bis part, opens np to oar farmers
something that they have long
needed aud which must lie appre
ciated by those farmers who really
rtudy their own interest. All that
a farmer need do iio v is to go to
Mr. Kuker, secure him as they have
been doing the city factors, get
what moi ev or supplies they may
need at reasonable rates of interest,
and at wholesale city’cu b prices
fur supplies, aud when their crops
of cotton are ready for maiket.
bring it to Kuker and sell it them
selves, tber by saving the risks of
loss iii weights, coii!tuiK.<-ion8, insnr-
an e, storage and other leakage
that result from shipping to the
cities. Mr. Kuker will have a nnm
ber ot cotton buyers here who will
pay the city quotations tor all cot
ton. and he will see that the farm
ers have tbe fullest benefit. F or-
ence may yet be the headquarters
ot our farmers. A few more John
Kukers will make it so most cer
tainly.
