McDonald, Esq., is preparing to build a new residence in the ricinity of Mount Zion College. ?The Board of County Commissioners met here on Friday and transacted a good (leal of routine business. ^Sandv Robertson is stopping with' Sheriff McCarley again. He is charged this time with an attempt at burglary. ?"We hear of a great many Christmos nsrHps: fhron^hoilt tllC COlintV during the past week. "While we Jive let us live." ?A Georgia boy who wrote to Santa Claus for a pony put- a postscript to his letter, saying: "If he is a inewl ty his hine legs." ?The public schools of the comity arc said to be in a flourisliing condition. A considerable increase in the r\-f rkrsrnlc i? rpnortfid. ?The local department of The j News and Herald has been for the i past month and will continue under the charge of G. W. Ragsdale, Esq. ?Quite a variety of horses, mules, wagons, buggies, carts, etc., were sold on Monday by the sheriff at prices to suit the times. ?The smaH grain throughout the connty is said to be pushing vigorously onward in spite of these snaps of inclement weather. Our public highways might be better than they are just now, and they ^ might be worse. In other words they are not quite the happy mean between extremes. ?The negro who was shot recently at Peak Station, by the town marshal, was removed by his friends to Spartanburg and we have no later advices of his condition. ?The' pedestrian of last Sunday morning fonnd but little difficulty in assuming the horizontal position. "We have heard of several falls, but no one as far as we know was seriously hurt. ?Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Bacot and Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Macaulay have re_ -,vnioved for the presen* to Darlington. These gentlemen will engage therein , buying cotton. ? Jno. J. Neil, Esq., has in course of erection a building on the rear side of Law Range, which will front ou v Washington street. It will be occupied, when finished, we are informed by Capt. I. N. Withers. ?AH the college boys returned on Friday to their respective institutions. If any of the girls are distressed and will send in their cards we will send the junior editor around to talk to them. ?To adopt the phraseology current' . . - among t^ose here, who buy on such security, we may say that the season for "opening liens" has fairly set in. This style of paper will perhaps be expanded this year io an unusual ex r tent. . ?At the last meeting of the board of county commissioners it was resolved that no account be approved unless presented three days before the meeting of the board. Parties having claims against the county, will do well now to bear this in mind. ?A gentleman from the country inquired of a friend in town ofi Monday i if it were possible to get a drink. He wa? promptly informed that the town had gone "wetv and that he could now be accommodated at a number of places along main street. T.iTtAT? ?Tf. I* said that, mnrft hanas are hiring for "standing wages" this rear than in any former year since the surrender. , Guano.?Large quantities of guano ' it is said, are boing shipped to various points in the State. This means we ? take it that another large crop '.of cotton is to be planted this year* t? " Recreation. ?The masquerade carnival at the Skating Rink 011 last Friday night was apparently enjoyed very much by the participants. The masks at generally seemed to serve the purpose unusually welL Owing to the fact I v that it was too cold to stand around and do nothing, there were spectators. Sit pab TSmi. F.statk.?Tn fTie * of Garden vs. Garden, the Clerk of the B Court re-sold, ou Monday, at the risk" of a former purchaser, a tract of one LjL hundred and twenty-three acres of life land. It brought niue hundred and Mar fifty dollars. Fifty dollars less than it - sold for on. last sales day. This was the only real estate sold. Presets.?The Surgeon-General of the B. P. U., we are informed, has been sending around among the young t . ladies some very elegant Christmas presents. This dignitary once wore the badge for being the most consist ent bachelor in the Union, -bnt it is pretty safe to say that he won't wear I it soon again. A Rush.?Under the new ordinance * - fixing license at four hundred dollars it will cost two hundred and fifty dollars more to sell whiskey than formHf erly. "We understand that about eight - bar-rooms will take au even start on January 3, six applications having ' - - ^ V;;' : ' > ??-r-r?"i *--;; ?" ?' | been already taade. Hofr nlaily of these will sniVlve the winter we can't say. "That is their business." Without Feak of God on Max.? Nat. Ilali alias Knox, charged with Breaking and entering1 Hortnah Baptist church and stealing thereupon various articles of church property, was committed recently by Trial Justice Cafhcart to await trial at the next term of the Court of Sessions. A colored gentlemen of town expresses the opinion that "he must have had a very strong appetite to breakinto a church." Fire Crackers.?If there is any one thing that the people of this town have got enough of now it is the fire crackers. We hope that the small boys, the white and black loafers and all other gentlemen of elegant leisure will now give us a rest on this nuisance, at least at night. Otherwise someone will be-compelled to wake - x up the policc and put them after the malefactors. Cotton*.?The December report of the department of agriculture -upon the cotton product indicates a smaller yield of this staple than we have had for a number of years past. The official estimate is fixed at 4,700,000 bales. If we recollect distinctly, the ! fullest crops hare approximated 7,000,000 bales. It will be.observcd that the falling off is enormous?2,300,000 bales ?and it is hard to see why it should not produce an advance in the price of the staple. _ Cotton.?A Xorth Carolina paper expects prosperity to its farmers from the fact that they will engage this year in the cultivation of cotton. We are in position to give a little advice, and we caivt help saying to our friends that they had better "diversify." Our farmers have been trying for the past twenty years to get rich by cultivating cotton, and the result has been that they liaye bankrupted themselves and wasted the natural resources of the soil. We think the universal experi ence iu these parts bears us out m rne assertion that out of cotton alone 110 salvation can come to farmers. Masonic Election.?At a rfccent meeting of the Masonic Lodge of this place the following officers were dnly elected for the ensuing Masonic year: John J. Neil, W. M. Geo. B. McCants, S. W. Jno. W. Seigler, J. W. C. M. Chandler, Treasurer. ? * W. M. Propst, Secretary. O. TV. Buchanan, S. D. H. Y. Milling-, J. D. J. Groeschel, It. H. Simpson, Stewards. Phillip Landecker, Tiler. In* Search of Bah-.?Scipio Cohen, was brought before Trial Justice Cathcart on last Saturday charged with selling cotton under lien, without giving notice notice of euch purchaser. The Trial Justice having decidcd to send the case up, granted Scip., the indulgence of an hour to find a bondsman. He made a thorough canvass of the town without success and then consulted his council upon the pro priety of penetrating- farther into the country. The suggestion, not being discouraged by counsel was acted upon. He returned on Monday with bail. Winks boko Chaptrk.?At the regular monthly convocation of Winnsboro Chapter, No. 2, K. A. M.. held December 1, 18S4, the following officers were elected to serve for the next ensuing year: J. S. Conner, M. E. H. P. W. G. Jordan, E. K. J. McMaster, E. S. . Geo. B. McCants, C. H. J. N.

Propst, Sent. Lunar Politics.?Messrs. jLauuerdale, McMaster "and Alston, of this place, resolved themselves on last Monday evening into an investigating committee and proceeded forthwith to Eock Hill. They expected to find and did find at this point obstritse difficulties with which to grapple and they engaged diligently at- the task. Having accomplished as much here as could be accomplished at-one time, they retired on Tuesday morning to York. At this place they found much to do, and of course left much undone, but they say that their labors are not finished and merely report progress. TVl't. T-v- ?

That journal says: The railroads have already arranged the rates to and from "Washington city for the inauguration. The fare from Charlotte to Washington and return will be $16 for citizens and $10 for members of military companies. The regular fare is S25.50, so it will be seen that $16 is cheap enough for the trip. A person can leave Charlotte on the evening of March 3, spend the day in Washington, witness the inauguration and -leave for home on the night of the 4th, arriving here at noon on the oth. A more convenient trip could nnf lio jnTflp.orpf} nntl fhn number of pc-ople who will go from this section will be a legion. Bigamy.?A colored gentleman, who is by profession an exhorter in the A. M. E. Church, South, has been bound over to appear at the next term of the Court of General Sessions to answer to the charge of bigamy. Becoming dissatisfied it seems with his domestic relations he applied abo..t a year ago to a trial justice of Newberry county, who very promptly granted him a divorce a vinculo matrimonii. The wife, it appears, became dissatisfied with the arrangement and instituted this proceeding-. The defendant will have an opportunity to try the respect which one tribunal in South Carolina has for the decisions of another. The lawyers think that the doctrine of store deccsis will get another blow. Misdirected Legislation.?A good deal of ridicr.Ic has been justly hcapccl upon the author of a bill introduced in cur lii.st Legislature entitled "an Act to prevent the entrapping of roons, raccoons, possums and opossums on the lands of another," but it seems to us that the 'ircntleman deserves as much mercy ni the hands of criticism as the author of another bill also introduced at the last session entitled "an Act for the protection of girls against bow-legged men." Tlie preamble to this Act recites: "Whereas tlic country is full* of how-lodged young men going about seeking whom they may hold upon their laps, etc.; and whereas (he exceeding danger of falling through parenthesis legs,'' etc. The opponents of this bill very reasonably contended that when a girl sits on the lap of a bow-legged .young man sue ought to be left to the chances of a catastrophe. And again that most bow-legged young men could and would hold them in their places; and lastly, that these were some evils in this world that the Legislature could not cure. The bill was lost. How TO KAT Co UN AT THE TABLE.? Polite society has organized the fact that it is the proper thing to eat the iiovn 1'mni the cob. and 110 man now eating it cob and all is invited a second time to our West tables. The manner of devouring this delicious bivalve in its natural state varies with the strength and tastf of the consumer. The destroyer may hold the cob in one hand in a perpendicular position and shave the corn off with a dinner knife. Care must be taken to smite the edge of the plate violently with every stroke. By this means two or three resolute and active corn-shavers can successfully drown-out the lively conversation of twenty people. It' the browser is extremely dainty he may prod otf t he corn one grain at a time with a fork. Thus he will preserve a high standing in society, but will not get any corn. In court circles it is permissible to hold the U !il. tuu wiui uuc uuuu anu uiuuig ?iui 1110 other, care being taken not to allow the nose and chin to meet on the other side of the cob. Bnt perhaps the only feeder who gets all the corn he wants, and gets it comfortably, is the epicure who clutchcs the cob in both hands, one at each end, sharpens his teeth, and gnaws away at that cob like a rat at a flour barrel. "Chinese Gordon."?A biography of this remarkable man ought to be interesting reading, especially if written by the famous hero-journalist and veteran war correspondent, Archibald Forbes. It is not, therefore, surprising to see numerous editions of it published. First there was the English edition, of course at a high price, then I a reprint at ?1.00 per copy, by an American "high-priced" publisher; now follows the uLiterary Revolution" edition, lar^o handsome type, neat cloth binding, for only* fifty cents! The publisher, John B. Aldeu, 393 Pearl street, New York, will send a 100-page descriptive catalogue of his publications, covering the entire field of standard literature, free to auy applicant. "Aldex's Juvenile geai"is the title of a new illustrated weekly paper for young people, the publication of which begins with the new year. It is a new departure of the prolific "Literary Revolution" and will therefore be examined with particular interest by some hundreds of thousands of readers who have come to look to that eni :? ~i ?

"There is a great industrial awakening at the South and the New Orleans fair is one of the most striking evidences of it. While, the North has been forced to hard study of the problem, what can be done with a waterfall or a ton of coal, various canses have combiucd to render the South careless about questions of economy. P.nt of late vears there has been a change. The South sees the great wealth which has come to the Northern States from manufactures and reasonably wishes for a share of the profit of that class of enterprises." Jlessrs. Editors: The above is written by a friendly Yankee, but judging by some of the men who represent us in this part of the South lie is greatly in error. Here we want no manufactories, no white immigration, no white mechanics. We respectfully decline to awake. The nigger and the mule (in the distance) and the poor land are enough* for us. The only aspiration we have in life is to be permitted to follow our occupation of skinning the above objects and turning over the hides, "though after all the} are not so durned fat," to the merchant and the LUVXi^r wiv iwu;vi. Sleepy. XOTES FROM THE CAPITAL. Messrs. Editors: Perhaps you will not object to a past Xmas letter from an unknown pen giving you a short account of what has happened in the city daring the joyous Christmas tide. Up to the day before Christmas the hotels were thronged with legislators who have been diligently making laws for the welfare of the people; but on the night previous the Legislature ad journea, and by tne next aiternoon there was not a single stray law-maker to he found withiu the corporate limits, for like the Arabs they had under the pale, cold light of the stars silently folded their tents and stolen away. I will not enter npon a criticism of the work done by this Legislature. Suffice it to say that though they would occasionally fly off on a tangent and and go to talking about things enteresting to nothing in heaven or earth or | the beings which dwell in the waters under the earth, still they have done much which should win tor them the commendation and praise which is s HM r,-, ? .nafetfei I awarded to the faithfdl and hdnefit ; servant. j Fairfield lias good canse to be protid j of libi* delegation. Personally, the}' i werb popular with the body of the Legislature, whiie their conservatism and discretion won the respect of all on the floors of the two house. The quick-witted and ready Douglass watched with an eagle's eye the pro; ccedings of the body and was e*er ! ready to advance with sound argu| inents the good cause and quick to foil I the bad one. The modest and unas] filming Rutland though slow to press forward unto undue prominence felt keenly hi? obligations to defend and i protect the rights of the people whom ! lie represented. The enthusiasm and | dash of these young Ruperts were i admirably tempered by the cool-hcadcd and sedate Brice, whose long experience rendered him. a good adviser ou all points of State policy. Last to mention, but by no means the last in points of merit, was the Senator from Fairfield, who knows so well how to bear the honors which his county has bestowed upon him. Of i his services in the Senate it is useless ! to make comment, for every "man, ! woman and child in your conutv ! knows full well that the Major's only | thought is Fairfield's interest first, last and all the time. There will of course be some carping critics who will say that there was much time consumed and little work done, but if they knew what they were talking about they would not be quick to express unkind opinions on the subject. The duties of a legislator are hard, for the fi^ht is generally between intelligence and ignorance." Judging from some of the bills introduced it would seem that some counties selected their greatest ass to represent them and that votes were to be won by length of ear rather than by weight of brains. As a specimen of* some of the bills introduced by some one of these gentlemen, I will give the iitleof one bill introduced: "A bill to prevent the entraDDinsr 011 another's land of coons and raccoons, possums and opossums, minks and weasels." The argument nsed in support of this wonderful measure was that it would prevent the stealing of seed cotton. As the gentleman failed to show the connection between the trapping of the animals and the stealing of seed cotton the Legislature refused to protect the sensitive coon. In the beginning I promised to saysomething about the Christmas in Columbia, but ran off on a side-track. However, if yon wilf excuse the delay I will get back on the main line. "We have rung the bells and have raised the strain, Hung garlands everywhere; We bade the tapers twinkle fair. And feasted and frolicked?and now we go Back to the same old lines again." Some with aching hearts and some with aching heads, judging from the generally hilarions air of those whom r eaw )?to loct niorVif ?nf\ tho JL CU IT AMkV iMUb Ail^UV) M?*V? v?j V VMMVtW" vv? aud repentant. look they were this morning, I would say that the aching heads were in the majority. The small boy was of course in his glory, and with pockets well stuffed with fire-crackers and with a tin horn glued to. his lips he promenaded the streets from the chill gray dawn of morning till darkness fell "from the wings of night, making the daj' hideous with a discord of horrible sounds, which made one sigh for a resting place in vast wilderness where the sound of the horn is not heard in the land and the small boy is unknown. "Wishing' yon a happy aud prosperous new year, I will say au revoir, Columbia. From Macon. In August, 1881, it was discovered that my son's wife was in the last stages of consumption. She was coughing incessantly and at times would discharge quantities of pus from her lungs, could not sleep or retain anything on her stomach, and we thought it only a question of time when life would be compelled to give way to the fell destroyer. After all other remedies had failed, we got Brewer's Lung Restorer and began it in very small doses, as she was very weak. She soon began to improve; continued the remedy and was restored to life and health, and is to-day better than she has ever been before. I regard her restoration as nearly a miraele, for wliicli she is indebted to Brewer's Lung Restorer. R. W. BoxisEK, Macon, Ga. Brewer's Lung Restorer is a purely vegetable preparation, contains no opium, morphine, bromide or any poisonous substance, bend for circular of long list of wonderful cures.
