Take Ayer's Pills for all the pur poses of a purgative, for Constipation Iudigestion, Headache and Liver -Complaint. By universal accord they are the best of all purgatives for family use. We are sorry to hear of the very Bcrdous illness of the little child of Mr. Jacob S. Punches and hope the alarm of the parents may soon be dis pelled by the recover)' of their little one. We are glad to meet Mr. W. W. Culler again on the streets, lie is not yet quite recovered from the ef fects of the painful accident of last summer but looks remarkably well considering his long confinement. A gentleman came up and paid us three dollats for two years subscrip tion. This evidence of confidence in us in the face of the terrible attack made upon this paper by the other "vent" was certainly unexpected, and is appreciated by us. We learn that several persons lost premiums on the day they were awarded at the Fair, by being hand ed to others than the owners through mistake. Such errors may be easily corrected if the receivers would leave the premiums at the store of Mr. J. C. Pike. The members of Zion Democratic Chib arc hereby requested to assem ble at Zion Church on Tluusdny morning, December 4, at 11 o'clock. Business of importance will be .brought to their notice. By order of Col. D. It. Barton, President. L. J. Izlnr, Secretary. The colored people of North Caro lina opened on Monday last an indus trial exposition or jfair at Raleigh which promises to be quite a success. "Why may not a similar fair be held in every couuty of our state and thus stimulate the colored people to excel lence in their industrial pursuits. The arm of the little child of Mr. Cephas McMichacl, of the Fork, frac tured some ten days ago, was re-ad justed by Dr. M. G. Sallcy on Satur. day last. We hope the little one will soon recover from the shock of Ibis very painful operation and will soon be on its feet again. Ot'K thanks are due Mr. Ilarpin Riggs for a sample of his excellent apple cider vinegar. Our farmers who have apples should certainly learn to make their own vinegar. A portion of that crop could not be bet ter disposed of than to be converted into this important article of house hold economy. Tue young men of St. Matthews organized a Social Club on last Mon day night. The following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year : H. Witcover, President; Geo. Clark," Vicc-President; G. F. Parker, Secretary; J. Jacobson, Treasurer. The Club propose giving a ball at an early date. An engine attached to a material train on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad exploded on Monday last near Donalds' Station, killing three persons. Persons managing engines on the South Carolina Railroad de serve credit for observing a careful-' iiess which has so long saved the road from such a, misfortune. Our genial and accomplished friend, Dr. B, F. Muckcn.fu.88, still has his office over Mr. Wm. Wilcock's, whero he is prepared to execute all work in his line on the most improv ed style. Tho Doctor's ability and long experience in dentistry specially commends his services to our people. The patronage which he has so gener ously received in the past will always be eminently merited in the future. Those persona who subscribed at Catllo Creek Camp Meeting und oth er places towards lchuilding the Methodist Church at Jamison arc re quested to loavo the money at Mr. J. C. Pike's store, where a list has been left. Messrs. L. R. Smith and D. M. Horgcr nro the gentlemen who procured tho above subscriptions.

The County Commissioners of Ai ken have paid all debts contracted during the year, the debts contracted by the first set of Democratic Com missioners, tho interest on the debt contracted by the former Republican Commissioneis, and have money left to pa)' off the jury when Court meets. We wish we could say the same for our county. The appropriation al lowed our County Commissioners will fail to meet the current expenses of our county by seven and eight hun dred dollars. This ought not to be. A special from Sherman, Texas, says:*'W. P. Grccnlow, one of the wealthies and most prominent citi zens of that place committed suicide last night by taking morphine. The cause is said to be criminal intimacy between his wifo and Rev. Conrad llaney, a noted and eloquent minis ter." This is only one of the many sad occurcnces of that nature which arc daily happening. It shows the utter and shameful depravity of those from whom we should only expect to see virtue in the highest and holiest forms. Who can be trusted. If any persons in this community think that they can muzzle the Dem ocrat by abusing us they arc mista ken. We came here to publish an outspoken Democratic paper, and that we intend to do, no matter who it pleases or displeases. From the support wn have received we feel as sured that the people are with us in our clforl to give them a paper worthy of their confidence and patronage. We care nothing about the opposition of a few sore-head, ofllee-seeking Democrats and their Radical allies. We hew straight to the line let the chips fall where they may. Ax "eminent physician" gives it as a professional opinion that swear ing never was good for a sore finger. It never cured the rheumatism nor helped draw a prize in a lottery. It is not recommended for liver com plaint. It is not sure against light ning, sewing machine agent, nor any of the ills which beset people through life. Almost any experienced jour nalist will tell you that there is no oc casion for swearing outside of a news paper oilier, where it is useful in proof reading and indispensably ne cessary in getting forms to press. It has been known, also, to material ly the editor in looking over the paper after it is printed. But oth erwise it is a very foolish and wick ed habit. Snow! snow! oh, the beautiful snow! The largest fall of snow known in this county for twenty years fell on Wednesday last. Beginning about ten o'clock in the morning ii continued with more or less severity throughnut the day. Scow flakes ns lorgc as a fifty cent piece were com mon during the storm, and every thing was covered with a sheet of snow two or three inches deep. It was a beautiful sight. The young men and juveniles indulged in an old fashioned snow balling to their heart's content. Every unfortunate individ ual who came in range was treated to a shower of snow balls. Some got mad and others took it good natured ly. It made no difference to the snow baliers, howevor, as they were bent on fun, and that they had. It is not often that we venture to lecture a fellow pilgrim on life's high way on his shortcomings, but really when we see a brother going so far astray as the editor of the Times went last week, wc must be pardoned for warning him of the error of his course, and giving him a little broth erly advice. Now, brother, in the first place, never attempt to take a thorn out of your neighbor's toe while there is a mote in your eye, because it makes you cut a very ridiculous figure in the eyes of the community, and, sc2ond, never do you say any thing about mortgages again, because the chances are that if it were not for that little instrument Bolivcr holds you would not be enjoying the luxury of a country editor's life, but would be nothing more than a plain village schoolmaster. It is estimated that tho amount ofA cotton sold in October, this year, in tho Southern Slate, will net producers from eight toten million dollars more than the sales for October last year. This is not from the larger sales, bu from the increased price lor cotton. fl i Arithmetical Toast:?uThc fair daughters of this land : May they add virtue to beaut) , substract envy from friendship, multiply amiable complishtncnts by sweetness of tem per, divide time by sociability and] economy, and reduce scandal to its| lowest denomination." Some months ago a number of per sons who call themselves Second Adventists predicted that the world would come to an end on the 13th of November. 1879, but it appears that doomsday did not arrive accord ing to promise. It's a great pity that so many people should be eo| often disappointed. An exchange gets oir the following) unkind cut on fashionable young men. "If there is one thing more than another that will make a young man in a big buttonhole bouquet, light gloves, dainty clothes and hair parted in the middle come down to hard pan as near common j sense as he can | get without picv.ous preparation or adaptability, it to have a young lady tell him he ought to have been born| a girl." The meteoric display promised for Thursday night did not come to pass, and those of our citizens who sat up to p atch for it were doomed to disap pointment. However, it has been re marked by persons whose gaze had been directed heavenward by this oc casion, that the sky has not for a long time looked so beautiful nor the stars so numerous and bright. We did not watch ourselves, and consequent ly were not disappointed. Fou Tin-: Teeth.?Many of the powders and pastes now in the mar ket contain ingredients like pumice stone, charcoal, &c, which ought never to be used for the purpose. The Saponaceons Tooth Powder isl warranted to contain nothing in the| least injurious, and has no equal for its purpose, as its flavor is pleasant,! is perfectly vsolublc in the mouth, -ind contains nothing gritty or rough for the teeth. For sale by Dr. J. G. Waxnamaker. Dob Ingersoll says "that to plow is to pray." This shows how little Hob knows about farming. When a man is plowing and lhe implement is brought to a sudden stand-still by striking a concealed rock or slump, and the handles collide violently with the mau's abdominal regions as he suddenly lurches foiward, he?well, he doesn't pray. Some of the words he makes use of would fit very well in a prayer, but he doesn't take lime to arrange them properly. A postal regulation has been in force now for two months which is not well known among business men, or it would bo more generally used. We refer to the fact that statements, bills and etc., can now be mailed in an unsealed envelope with a cent stamp. Thus the many monthly statements which aic made out by wholesale and retail dealers, each month can be mailed for one cent but no writing other than the legitimate bill can be placed upon the statement. No such words as "please remit" can be, neither can a bill receipted be sent. If it is necessary to hnve the words "please remit" on the statements or bills, they can be printed as part o the heading. On Tuesday night last a burglai made a successful entrance into the dwelling of Mrs. John Glover, cornel of Coming and St. John streets, and carried oil' several articles of clothing and jewelry belonging to Dr. 1$. F Muckcnfass and Elliott (Jlover. The entrance was made thiough the par lor window opening on the piazza and the inner door being unlocked admitted the thief to the bed rooms. The thief was evidently frightened ofi as he left severnl articles in the par lor where he hail carried them from other parts of the house. Tfiis is the second robbery of the same nature, and perhaps by the same rogues, that has occurred in our town during the last few months, which admon ishes our citizens to keep nil their doors and windows securely fastened, and our police to bo on tho lookout, not only on Main-street but the back streets of the town. These burglars ought to bo caught and punished. Marltet Report? Corrected Weekly by J. c. Pike. cotton. Middling. 11 1-S Low Middling. 10 y-l Ordinary to Oood. 10 country produce.
