come off some time since has been

the chips, it is said and as is generally
known, .it is no easy matter to nego^

?The bouquet season it would seem |
^ is opening at last. One of surpassing j
beauty might have been seen a day or |

in Columbia committed Aleck Arthur,
colored, to jail, on a charge of mnle j
stealing, the man being unable to give
bond for his appearance at the exami- j
nation which is to be held. The mule
belonged to Mr. John W. Haines, of
Fairfield county.
?It would seem that the working of
our steam engine Iiere may be ftcam at
a considerable distance. It was employed
for some lime a few days since
in emptying the new cistern. Some
gentlemen who live four or five miles
in the country hearing it at work hurried
to town expecting to find ns
attending to a fire, snre enough.
Is the Trial Justice Court.?The
State vs. Robert Johnson was heard on
> tii - ? V A
xaesuay. xnc ueienuant was uiugvu
with nttcring threatening and menacing
speeches and the proceeding was
simply application for a peace bond.
' He was found not guilty and discharged.
Death.?Mr. James W. Harrison,
an aged citizen of this county, died on
the 7th inst. Having been afflicted for
some time with dropsy of the heart,
his death was not altogether unexpected.
He had reached the advanced
age of seventy-three years, and leaves
to mourn his loss a wife and a number
of children, all of whom are fully
grown. Peacc to his ashes.
Undecided Causes.?In several important
cases heard here at the last
term of the Court of Common Pleas
Judge "Wallace reserved his decision.
Parties interested have doubtless been
anxously awaiting the same. His
Honor having gone over the entire
circuit will no doubt oblige them now
at an early day. lie can't make both
sides happy, it is true, but he will relieve
them all of suspense.
Retrogressive.?It is said that every
opinion sooner or later finds an advo
cate. We believe it is true, and so arc
^ not surprised to learn that there is a
young fellow in town opposed to higher
female education. He does not put
it exactly that way, it is true out his
position amounts practically to the
same thing. He says that he is not in
farrrw ?\VftV ftfF f/"?
JCfcTVl VA CVUUUI^ V??V *v ? v? ?"
school. Possibly he will take a different
view of the situation later in
life.
??
A Neglected Opportunity.?It
would seem that it has never occurred
to any of our worthy candidates for
Federal appointment, but suppose
SDme of them had "set up'' the Bacli.elors
(a condition precedent to any
acflou on the part of that club of
course) and secured a resolution of
endorsement.- It is not easy to see
how the President, under the circumstance?,
could have avoided giving
special consideration to the same.

i- PLEA8K KEEF POSTED AND OBLIGE. \
i ?It is said now that the yonng man j
who talk? too innch love to his sweet- J
heart, in tlrs part of the country, will |
| come out but little better than the j
j fellow who dwells loo long on literary i
fopics. We don't profess to under- j
i stand it nor have we met anv one as
;
yet who offers a rationale. But it has |
j certainly been taken as settled hereto- [
j fore, that no man talking on the form- i
J er theme would find any difficulty in ;
holding the attention of his audience.
The Election*.?The recent municipal
election passed off very quietly. In
1 fact there was nothing to remind those i
' who liatl forgotten it that such a thing i
was going on. Being no opposition !
! there was of course a rather light vote
! polled. It was as follows:
. FOR IXTEXDEXT.
j T. K.Elliott 100 ;
FOR "WARDENS.
! J. A. Brice 100 j
' J. II. Cunnnings 100 j
: J. Q. Davis 100 |
; R. E. Ellison 100 j
! m
Jurisdiction Enlarged.?"We hear
that there was a darkey in town on i
Thursday complaining that he had not |
received "jestis" in a trial justice court j
of this county. It seems that he was |
j tried ar.d convicted of burglary and j
j given his choice between five dollars!
; and costs or twenty days. lie paid j
} up under protest and came here forth-!
j with to know whether or not he could i
i recover the amount from the trial jus- j
j tice. It is Paid that his counsel upon j
! hearing a full statement of the case j
! a/}\'icrwl + r\ rrr\ oli/i i
; ~ ? . .
i ing more about jurisdictional defects
j in the judgment of the court.
Personal.?Messrs. G. H. and J. F.
McMaster left a few days ago for Flor1
ida. The will return in the course of i
I two weeks.
j Mr. W. J. Elliott left Thursday for
| North Carolina. His errand is one of
business, and lie will perhaps be absent
i for some time.
Mr. Chas. A. Douglass and wife re- i
j turned to town on last Thursday. j
! They both seem to te especially I
i pleased with Jacksonville.

.uessis. u. ?v. XHicnanan, <j. \\.
j Seigler, E. II. Simpson and Samuel
Johnson left on Friday for New Orleans.
They will perhaps strike the j
Exposition at its best.
Both Guilty..?A difficulty having j
!
arisen between a couple of darkies, j
living out on Jackson's creek. Thev j
.* I
ciiit'iiU) it 111 iv u suiciiiii agiciuiuin
on last Sunday evening to submit the
| same to the arbitration of fist and
skull. Receiving no satisfactory settlement
of the dispute from this tribunal
they appeared here simultaneously
on Monday morning. Each claiming
to h?ive hppn f.hn vintim of n mnsf mi
justifiable battery. Upon talking the ;
matter over, however, they ogreed that J
while they could not as yet shake1
hands neither would for the present j
! prosecute. It is to be regretted that i
they couldn't have the thing complete- J
Iy adjusted in some way.
A Degenerate Bootblack.?The J
itinerant jeweler and variety showman
has left us, apparantly forgetting all
about his promised feat of decapitation*
lie found the people of this \
section in no need of jewelry. Indeed
| it must have appeared strange to him
| that they would not buy even at the
soft solicitation of the almightv dollar.
i Bat the fact is, a combination of adverse !
I circumstances were against him. Those ]
i who would have bought could not do !
i so, and those who could have bought j
| would not do so. The reason was
I sufficient in either case. He finally
| mastered the situation and then he
| departed. We can't see that the boot:
blacks have any special reason to be
! proud of him.
Mr. Turxipseed's Resignation.? |
! We regret to learn that Mr. B. R.!
1 3
Turnipseed has tendered to the board !
of trustees of Mount Zion College his '
resignation as instructor in that insti-,
tution. This step has been necessitated
by his failing health and is taken
only at the earnest request of his physician.
Mr. Turnipseed is a man of
undoubted scholarship, a teacher thoroughly
progressive, and it will not be
i an. easy matter to fill his place. It is
I said that he will go at an early dav to
i 25
! Florida where he will perhaps spend
! some time. "We hope he may soon
I regain his wonted visror and resume i
; the duties of bis chosen profession.
i A New Scheme.?"We were ap!
proached a few days since by a very
: logical gentleman with the following !
j little pop-skull argument: "Whereas j
j a man is happy, not according to what j
' he is, but according to what he thinks I
| he is. Make him believe, therefore, I
' that he can mill down the moon and !
j he will enjoy it as ranch as it he had j
; actually done so. Make the people of j
1 this connty believe they are rich and J
j they will have all the advantage of;
j riches." It may sound very well from j
| a theoretical point of view, but the !
j facilities here for putting a man in the J
: lunatic asylum arc too great, as it j
! seems to us, to warrant any such ptil
I anthropic undertaking. The people j
I woulctn t put up with such looierv. j
?
j Matrimony at the Pook House.? j
A short wile since John Brooks and !
: Fannie Saunders, both colored, and i
I both inmates of the nauners' house in !
i this countv, catnc to the conclusion
t
; "that it is not well for man to" be
alone." At all events we are told that
a clergyman was called in and the
! marriage* rites duly solemnized between !
J the parties, who immediately bid adieu
' to their former associates and went
I forth to fight jointly the hard battles of
! me. iney pa^sea tnrongn town on
Saturday, making their way to the
locality of the bride's former home in
the northwestern portion of the county.
With regard to matrimony they
seern to have entertained some such
opinion, as the Irishman did who
j claimed that he could almost make a
j living by himself, and thought if he
! had some one to help him he could
: make a very good one. l lie groom
[ was stone blind.
. Reward Offered.?Gov.Thompson j
has issued the following proclamation, j
offering a reward for the capture ofi
the burglar Jack Sloan:
"Whereas information :?r:- L. ;m re- i
ceired at this Depart men. .hat on the
night of Novembi-r 13, l?84, a burgla-1
ry was committed at the store < f J. l>.
Martin, in Fairfield county, l<\ ;
Sloan, and that the said Jack SI .?? i
fled fro in justice:
Now, therefore, 1, lluirh S. Thomp-!
son, Governor of the State of South j
Carolina, in order that jusiioo jnav he
done and the majesty of the law vin- j
aieaten, no nerem* oner a reward 01 ;
fifty dollars for die apprehension and
delivery to the Sheriff of Fairfield ;
countv of the said Jaek Sloan. Said .
Jaek Sloan, a bright mulatto, about 30
years? of age, h about 5 feet b inches in ;
height, and has a heavy figure, n eighing
about 170 pounds, lie is partially 1
bald, and has a dark shaggy beard and
a high forehead. His lips are thick |
and he has a slight impediment in his ;
speech. ;
A Hard Lot.?We are told thaj j
tnerc is an old negro man on Mr. i
J. M. Stewart's place, near town, who j
has recently been on the verge of;
starving to death. It seems that I he j
old man i> without family or friends,
and for some time past has been living
in the hou-c of some other darkey on i
the place who see ns to have been
mean enough to decline either to ad
minister to the old man's wants or to
advertise other people of his sufferings.
It was not until some (lavs ago, when 1
the old negro attempting' to walk (o :
town fell from sheer exhaustion in j
front of Mr. Stewart's house, that an !
inquiry developed the facts above set i
forth. Since that time Mr. Stewart
has been looking alter mm. nie matter
has been brought to the notice of j
Hie county commissioners, whose duly j
it is to look alter such cases. We have j
a poor-house in this county and this!
old man should be carried there at
once, where lie will be properly cared j
for.
Literary Clubs.?It is to be re- j
grctted that our Literary club, which
was doing wen a lew momns since
should have Come to such an untimely !
end. Exactly what brought about the j
collapse no one has a? yet risen to ex- |
plain. We do not know, that any j
effort was even made to secure a re- |
newal of the subscriptions. Had any i
one taken this trouble a majority, at
least of the old subscribers, would j
probably have responded favorably, j
Certain it is that many were conscious j
nt flirk feint th<\f trow* u !
very large equivolaiit for the money
invested. But there were many defects
in the organization of the club, and to
these collectively its failure may no
doubt be traced. "We repeat, il is a
great pity that it could not have been
alive. Periodical literature has as-!
sumed of late years a place of impor- j
tance that it never occupied before, j1
Nearly all productions of merit are
now first given to the public through
this medium. The intelligent reader
of course desires to glance over the
entire field, and the literary club plan,
certainly enables one to do so at a very
small cost.
Fuask Leslie's Sunday Magazine.
?The May number opens with a vigoarticle
by Emily Pierce on "The
Church in Mexico," in which the his
lorv a.iiu prestiiL pusiLiun ui niy uuuuui
Catholic Church in that country is
grapically described. This article
ought to attract wide attention. It is
profusely illustrated. The wanderings
of the Children of Isreal in the
Wilderness for forty years form the
subject of the fifth article on Bible His-!
tory. This article has nine illustra- j
trations. "jpiowers ai r unerais, uv
the Ilev. Edward A. Rand, is a short
interesting discussion of the subject,
and "Fagged and Fresh/' by Leigh
Norval, will please by its tender sentiment.
"The Continental Sunday," by
William llossiter, reprinted from the
iNineteenth Century, offers food for j
much thought. Some may consider it
a model, others a warning. Dr. Talmage's
sermon is entitled "Your Pedigree,"
and in his Editorial Comments
he discusses "Dressing for Church,"
"The Spring and Cleanliness." The
three serial stories are continued. jluc j
Sacred Musicians treat of Madame uc j
Grandval and Prof. F. L. Ritter, of
Vassar College, and there is an able
article, with portrait on Frederick
Chopin. Many of the illustrations are '
particularly appropriate to the spring
season, allien, though long delayed,
will surely come. The miscellany is,
as usual, abundant and interesting.

The Prize Contest at the Rink.? i
The prize contest came of at the Skat- {
ing Rink, on Tuesday night, and was I
largely attended. If there is anything
that will draw out the citizens of
Winnsboro in full force, it is the Skating
Rink. The roller skate craze that
is now receiving so much attention at
the hands of the press, has prevailed j
here for some time. At half past eight j
o'clock the contest began, the boys |
under twelve years of age takiug the

half past ten o'clock, when the following
prizes were awarded:

meeting of the Fairfield Division of
the Sixth Regiment S. C, V., was held
in the Town Hall^on Saturday, President
T. TV. Woodward in the chair.
ine minuios 01 me last iuueuug were

ITEMS FROM CEDAR CREEK.
Messrs. Editors: As I never notice
anything in your columns from this
portion of Fairfield, J thought that I
would send you a few items.
The grain crop is looking very well
generally, although I hear some complaint
of oats being too thin in consequence
of the hard freezes that we
had during the winter.
Farmers appear to be in better
spirits than they have been for some
time. Thev feel as if the winter has
past, and in every direction we can
hear the ploughman's voice from the
earliest dawn of light in the Eastern
horizon until the sun sinks from our
view in the West.
unr anticipations now arc inai uus
will be a good fruit year. The trees
are full of blossoms.
The school near Mr. Charles Abell's,
taught by Miss Lucy Neil, closed last
Thursday with a picnic dinner. Miss
Lucy was the recipient of a nice present,donated
by the schools.
Mrs. Fannie Hendrix has been spending
the winter with relatives in Florida,
but will soon be at home ugain.
We have an excellent school at Pine
Grove. The children are progressing
rapidly. Mr. J. W. Jones, teacher,
who takes great pains in learning the
young idea to shoot. Also, a good
Sunday School at the same place,
which is well attended.
Mr. Wm. Raines, anrenterprising
farmer and merchant of this neighborhood,
had a mule taken from his stable
last Thursday night about midnight
by some unknown person. He ascertained
the direction it was carried,
followed it to Columbia and found it j
in the guard-house, but was not fortu- J
nate enough to get the rider. It is |
nnnnrfaH tV*of <1 frrvAr? mo n\r Hnn-rnncf c
were visited the same night, which
accounts for the mule being taken.
Mr. Felder Smith, who camq home a
short time since from Alabama, where
he has been for some years in the employ
of the Lightning-Rod Company,
is not improving. He is worse, both
mentally and physically, than when !
brought home.
On Sunday, March 29, our community
was again called upon to mourn
the" loss of another one of its much
esteemed citizens, Mr. Minor T. Doog-!
lass, who, after a lingering illness,
died of consumption. Since it has
nlno corl iZnrl f a r?o 11 Vii m fvAm fnic
V VU IV VUll U1UI 11VU1 blliU
world of trials, tribulations and sorrows,
we hope he has gone to one
"where the wicked cease from troubling
and the weary are at rest. His
funeral was preached at his mother's
residence by the Rev. Mr. Yann, and
his remains interred at Sandy Level
church.
Died, of consumption, April 7, Mrs.
Hattic Perry. Her funeral was preached
by the Rev. Jno. W. Entzmingcr at

were deposited. x.

Never has my unusually select stock of
Men's, Boys', aid Children's Clothing and
Furnishing Goods been so extensive, never
so low in price (quality and workmanship
considered) as now. My beautifully fitting
fiirrl fMistnrrulifcp r.lrttliinfrls Worn hv thf?
best dressed men and boys in the city, and
visitors to-Columbia who may contemplate
purchasing clothing will find at this store
the most correct styles and the latest
novelties, all garments fitted to vour form
before delivery, and every article sold is
warranted to be just exactly as represent ed.
The well-dressed young man who demands
something in'accordance with his
own ideas of raiment, can always be sure
Of finding the latest and most correct
styles oT garments at this establishment
I make a special feature of suits foryoung
men m four-button Cutaways, in Wars tea
and Whipcord; also in Prince Alberts.
No oth< r house has so complete a stock
of Gents' Underwear as I am offering to
i my trade. Perhaps I should not know
this it those useful people, the shoppers,
(who go around comparing goods and Duying
where they find uie best) were not
continually telling me so. One very important
feature is that my stock is "huge
and new. another is that ray prices aretne
lowest anywhere. The proper way to find
this out is to call and see for yourselves.
NOTICE.?I have just added to my
stock of Shoes a line of Dancing Pumps
and Gents' Slippers. I am also prepared
to wholesale goods to merchants in the
State. I guarantee prices, and you can
save in your freights by purchasing from
the Emporium. I can sell cheaper than
any jobbing house, as I purchase from
Manufacturers.
