Her goods, however, after being gre::t lv dlelave d by the railroads, have at last arrived and Thursday and Friday of this week she will have her s~pring opening, to which she invites all the ladies of the t+wn andi conty. Birthday Party. The birthday party given by the ladies of the Winnsboro Meth odist church Thursday evening proved very successful, the at tendance being good despite the threatening weather. Each one paid one cent for each year of their life as an admission fee, which covered all the expenses of the evening. Refreshments were served in a charming manner. Good music and several guessing contests added to the pleasures of the evening, which all seemed to enjoy. The ladies realized a ni::e little sum from the entertain ment. WMuch favorable copmebt has bee heard on our spring mil linery, because tie - pattern ba are particularly upretty: Tis new stock now ready for fe*r inspection. Caldwell Drydoods Co. In Police Quarters. Thursday afternoon two opera tives of the Fairfield Cotton Mills, Mr. Allen and Mr. Lauhon, were arrested by the town au thorities for diunkeiiness and disorderly condu t. When they appeared before his honor, Mayor Ketclf.n, the next morning, each was fnied $25 or 25 days in jail. Mr. 4en's fine was paid. The next day a petition was circulated asking for the release of Mr. Lauih on the ground that he was adl old Confederate soldier. So fi- Mayor Ketchin has de elined to act upon the same. Two or three othernsmaller cases, all parties being- negroes, were also disposed of. A Hustling Newsboy. A few months ago Master easel Clarke began, to act as news agent at this point for the I Saturday Evening Post. For the first few weeks he handled _ only 10 copies. Now he is disposing of 50- copies every Saturday, and from the energy he has already Bhown we wouldn't be. surprised to see him greatly increase his sales. He is working for ;one of the Post's special prizes to its tewsboys, and is sure to win. Were the prize for the boy who works his field the best, we doubt AIt that he would come' right to he top of the list. The Evening Post is a great paper, and is in Ied fortunate in .having such a instling agent in Winnisboro as ur young friend. Success to him. Caldwell's O0uenag. The millinery opening of the aldwell Dry Goods Company as largely attended despite the nfavorabeness of the weather or a greater pairt of the time. The millinery department was beautifully decotated with ever reens and flowers, which added reatly to the displ:ty of the :illinery. A full line 'of the latest in millinery fashions was shown, and the ladies greatly en joyed the feast set before thorn. isses Kellam and Johnson took great pleasure in extending every ourtesy to the visitors. ,All in all the opening was up to the ery high standard which the Jal'dwell Dry Goods Company have so long maintained .:ior these occasions. Fred Emerson Brooks. Fred Emerson Brooks the Cali ornia poet was the last lyceum attraction and proved the most interesting one that has so far appeared in the series of enter tainments. He greatly enter tained his visitors from beginning to entiin the recitation of poemis >f his own compostition. Ris side remarks as he. gent -along were also greatTy appreciated, especially the one in regard to the town ball, in which he said that if a man were to tell him that it was the first building constucted in America he would call him an honet man. For more than two hours he kept his audience in a roar of laughter and after his address, was ov/r said in private that the Winns boro audience was the most ap preciative lhe had ever addressed. Fire Company Drill.. The fire company had its first drill for this year Wednesday evening. All the old hose were tested and a number were found to be in such a bad condition as to be unfit for further use till they are repaired. The engine was found to be in bad trim, and the gotting up of steam -wais a slow job. Tihe number of fire men present was to say the least uch smaller thau it should have )ee. In fact, everything was in its sway, had the company bee called out at that time for a fn instead of a practice. The t hose which the counci..has ja bought will be used' hereaftV and should tend greatly to iY crease the efficiency of the con pany. -Roving to Chester. The Winnsboro Racket Con pany which has been in busines here for about 18 months is pre paring'to move to Chester thi week. The business here ha 1been managed by Mr. C.

We regr, t to note th departure of this firm, andY wis for them success in their- riei quarters. At fliHinery Headquarters. There was a peculiarly strikin feature about Mrs. McCarley' millinery opening last week-an that was .4be great number o sales that were made. Mrs. Mc Carley says that in her long ex perience in the millinery busines she never before made so man sales in March, in iact her s4l4 commenced so early in -the weel that she did not get to make th decorations she had' intended But the millinery was there an< that in the latest fashions an< most up-to-date styles. This wa what pleased the ladies-this to gether with the extremely lor prices at which everything wa< marked down. When it comes t< a taking combination, this one o the latest styles and lowest pricu: is one that is irresistible, and i is this very combination that ex plains the uuusual success Mrs cCarley had last week in ti sale of her millinery and is stil having this week, and will con tinue to have till her whole sprini stock, which is so large.and up to-date, is exhausted. Remembei Mr. A. L. McCarley's is stil headquarters for millinery.-adv h ~e Union rieeting.
