^ a small scale. The idea is a good one
and we see no reason why we shouldn't

?It is said that the board of trustees
of Mount Zion College have decided
, that the dilapidated condition of the j
old college building, really does demand
and must Lave attention. We

ihas been reached.
?A reward of fifty cents is offered

?A couple of tramps passed through
town on Tinirsoay, rnev jooKea use
men who had & purpose in view, and

Personal.?Miss Kate Pratt, daughter
of the Rev. H. B. Pratt, formerly
pastor of the Presbyterian church of
this place, is in town spending some
time with friends. We wish her a
pleasant visit.
A Divorce "Wanted.?A colored
clergyman called on an attorney here
a few days since to know if a minister
uniting parties in holy wedlock could
not for reasonable cause shown grant
a divorce. He said he had been applied
to,- but desired a little light on
the subject before acting.
A Picnic.?"We learn that the school
children got np an impromptu picnic
in the Presdyterian woods on last
Saturday. They are said to have had
a very delightfnl time. A representative
of the News and Herald was
present by invitation, and describes
himself as barely over the effects of it
yet.
An Accident.?Little Robt. Macko-1
rell while riding in a wagon driven
rather rapidly a day or two since was
thro%vn out and received several painful
injuries. We learn that the little
fellow is convalescent and hope that
he may be able in a short time to
rejoin the Court House ring of
which circle he is a highly esteemed
member.
Death.?Mrs. Massie Boiin, an
aged lady, who lived near Buckhead,
in this count}', died of pneumonia 011
the ISth inst. She was at the time of
her death about seventy-one years of
age, and throughout her long life held
the esteem of those among whom she
lived. She leaves three children and a
large number of grand-children to
mourn her departure.

J-'C.Altl. JUClIjtlUJlU JUllltlovu( UI tvi;
old colored man of this place, died on
last Saturday. He had been a resident
of town for many years. In bringing
ont the hearse on Sunday evening before
the coffin had been placed in the
same, the horse that was hitched
thereto bccaine frightened and ran
off, leaving the vehicle very much in
The New Council.?The Town
Council recently elected?Intendant
T. K. Elliott, and Wardens James A.
Brice, Jos. H. Cnmmings, Robert E.
Ellison and James Q. . Davis?were
dnlv sworn into omce on J5?onaay issi,
each member taking the usual oath of
office, the anti-dueling oath and the
anti-gambling oath. At a subsequent
meetiug Capt. I. N. Withers was
re-elected Town Clerk and Treasurer
for the ensuing municipal year.
Ax Offer.?As it is about time now
to plant watermelons, we take occa
sion to say that we offer The News
and Herald twelve months for the
finest melon that is delivered at this
office during the season. Moreover, if
they roll in right lively we will undertake
to write up the successful man as
handsomely as we know how. But if
we lose money .on this thing it may be
expected that we will, a^usnafin such
cases, say but little about it. Wc
guarantee fair play.
In Jail.?The criminal docket for
the Jane term of the General Sessions
will not be so full as it was at the February
term, but there will be several
cases of importance to be tried. Besides
the parties who may now be out
on bond there are now in jail?one
defendant charged with murder and
arson, one charged with infanticide,
four charged with adultery, two
charged with larceny of grain from
the field, and perhaps one or two
others charged with minor offences.
We will probably have a week's work
for the Judge by the time he gets here.
Railroad JBuilding.? ? nat nas Decome
of the railroad from Shelby to
Alston? We were in hopes that the
first shovel of dirt would have been
thrown before this time. By the way,
why can we not have our Rock City
Railroad pushed oil to Alston? Such
a route would pass through a tine secsection
of country and would couuect
Winnsboro with the flourishing town
of Peak, which stands on the head
- ? T> j -or
waters 01 navigauou ou j>rouu xuv;i .
"We throw this out as a suggestion to
the enterprising directors of the Rock
City Road.
The Hop.?Tbe calico hop at the residence
of Mr. David Y. Walker, on
"Wednesday night, was altogether an
occasion of considerable merriment.
The attendance was verv good, - and if
the hopping may be said to have been
faultless, the calico was certainly
above criticism, ."We regret that we
cannot enter just now into a minute
description of costumes. Suffice it to
say that there was a pleasing variety,
a practical demonstration that girls
saay look pretty at a nominal cost.
The evening slipped away and of
course no one perceived its departure,
but in the early morning it became
necessary to break up nolens volens.
All allow that the hop was quite a
' =- v -V . r'
success. . A
Word of Encoukagemi^t.?
"Your town'' said a citizen of Columbia
to us a few days ago "certainly
presents a creditable show of improve
inents made wiiHin tne last nve or six
years." TV'e were thinking so, bat
knowing how difficult. it is "to see
ourselves as others see us," we were
glad to hear the fellow speak out
about it. "We must try and have it
distinctly understood, because the^tide
of immigration will turn in this direction
after awhile and then it may
be worth something to us to have it
known that the resources of this county
are not altogether exhausted yet,
that it is still possible to go forward
here.
"Whekk Will the Reform Begin??
A great many petitions for appointment
to public office have been the
rounds here since the first of November
last, and the matter, of course,
way which our best citizens hare j
?p?ami
of signing these instruments without j
regard to the merits of tbe petitioners I
is provoking some discussion at pres- '
ent. The practice is certainly as bad j
as it is loose, but it were a mistake to j
suppose that it is peculiar to this local- !
ity. It prevails all over this conn ;
try, and the more is the pity. But!
unless the people call a halt this much j
is clear: the usefulness of the petition j

nobody.
Advice to Emigration Agents.?
While in many counties of this Stuic, '
the emigration agents would seem to '
be still doing a'rushing business among j
the darkies, we hear of none ut work !
in this county. We have nothing to I
fear it is true as it has been discovered i
long ago that the colored man who is I
born here has an overpowering desire j
to be buried in the neighborhood of
his birth, vet as they are generallv
* 7 3 * j
| speaking under contract now for the :
oresent year, we mav ?av to these :
agents that they had better continue to j
| work, if work they nnist, outside of j
our territory. The farmers of this j
county are noi in the humor just now
to allow any interference with their
business1

IN THE I RIAJ, JUSTICE V ULKi .? JL lie j
State vs. Saliie Robinson charged with j
assault and battery was heard on last |
Saturday. It appeared that the prose-!
cntrix, an aged colored lady, while !
leaving church a few Sundays ago. in '
a fever of religious excitement, made j
an unfortunate gesture which Sallie!
took to be an intentional slap in the <
face. In the battle which ensued, the
old lady came out only ?Necond best,
and concluded therefore to nave her
grievance redressed in a legally constituted
forui.':. Thedefendant wasfouud
not guilty.
The State vs. Jane Jackson, prosecutrix
in the above case was then tried.
She was charged with the same offence
arising out of the same state of facts,
and was also found not guilty.
Stealing a Ride.?The freight train
which passed up on the Charlotte,
Columbia & Augusta Railroad 011
Thursday evening late carried one
passenger more tnau tlie conauctor
was awai*e of. Just as the train was
stopping a white man of rather indifferent
appearauce, apparently about
forty-five years of sge, was seen to
step from between the cars. He had
evidently been riding either upon the
brakes or the bumper. Stepping off
upon the opposite side of the track
from the depot, he surveyed the situatiou
with the air of a superintendent,
and on the train starting he resumed
again his former pcrilons position. It
is not improbable that this desperate
passenger will be made to feel some
day at once the force of the car wheel
and the scriptural declaration that
"the way of the transgressor is hard".
A Curious Phenomenon.?Mr. Calvin
"Rrir.p. o-athered a few davs since
from his strawberry patch a number of
mushrooms that present a curious and
phenomenal appearar.ce. It seems that
a quantity of stable manure and other
litter had befen spread over the patch
as a sort of top-dressing, and the
mushrooms referred to were found
near the root of the strawberry and
present an exact facsimile of the
fruit itself. They vary in size just as
strawoernes ao, me largest not Deing
larger than the largest strawberries.
Indeed they look in alcohol just as
strawberries would after having remained
long enough in the liquid to
have been discolored. Just what
causal connection exists between the
strawberry and this mushroom at its
root is' more than we will attempt to
say. The phenomenon clearly indicates
an effort of nature to produce
the fruit independent of the vine.
They may be seen at the drug store of
Messrs. McMaster, Brice & Ketchin.
"Babyhood", the only periodical in
the world devoted wholly to the care
of young children, has succeeded in
securing the services of eminent specialists
in every subject with which it
deals. The April number contains
articles on "The Care of Children's
Hair," by Prof. George H. Fox, M. D.;
"Isolation in Contagious Diseases," by
Dr. L. Eramett Helt; "The Croup,"
by Prof. John H. Ripley, M. D., etc.
Under the title of "Domestic Disiufection,"
George M. Sternberg, major and
snrwnn. II. S. A? imblishes some of
C* J J j~
the results of the recent Government
investigation into the properties of the
best disinfectants. Among the miscellaneous
articles is an especially entertaining
and practical one, by an
anonymous lady writer, entitled
"Nurse's Day Out." Marion Harland's
writing is as attractive as usual, aud
the ''Baby's Wardrobe," "Nursery
Problems," aud other departments
contain the accustomed variety of useful
hints. Price, fifteen cents a number;
$1.50 a year. Address, 18 Spruce

Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.
?The May number deals largely with (
original and timely articles. It opeus
with an article by "W. A. Crofful, the
well known newspaper correspondent,
entitled "The Birth of a New Party."
Alvan S. Southworth describes "The
New Ftateof Congo," and its importance
to the trade and commerce of the
world. The Egyptian.question comes
in for its share in the article on Col.
F. G. Burnaby, with portraits of Burnaby
and his wife, views of his home
and scenes in his career. Popular
science is provided in "A Feather,'-' bv
Dr. Ilans Gadow, with fifteen illustratrations
showing a feather in every
possible form aud stage of development.
The story element is well kept
up. Garrett Walker's serial, "The
Death-mark," reaches its thirty-third
chapter, and there are six short stories.
"Brant Shooting at Cape Cod," by
Orville Deane, will please the sportsmen;
the article on "Deaf mutes" the
philanthropist; "In the Alsatian Mountains,"
by Katherine Lec, the traveler;
and "The Vegetable Wonder of Mexico,"
by Emily Pierce, the botanist.
All of these articles are illustrated,
some of the pictures being very beautiful.
There are several poems of considerable
merit, and numerous short
articles, interesting and timely. Published
by Mrs. Frank Leslie, 53, 55
57 Park Place, New York.
How they used to do.?"We have
discovered of late an incident which
may be said to form a valuable contribution
to the humorous side of the
history of Republican domination in
this State. It seems that Levi Adams,
colored, of this county had committed a
dating burglary and was promptly arrested
by the nearest trial justice, who
resided just over the boundary line in
one of the adjoining counties. His
complexion also, was conclusive proof

moral ideas. The defendant it -will be
seen was charged with an offence above
the grade of those which trial justice
courts are authorized by law to try,
and besides the offence was committed
beyond the territorial jurisdiction of
this court. These "technical defects,"
however did not "phase" the man of the
judiciary who promptly proceeded to
trial. The accused was brought into
ho /vmrf vr>r\m w<lo

with rural spectators and silence reigned
for some moments, when the defendant
arose and addressed the court
and the following colloquy ensued:

"You shut your mouf sir" said the
sable man of the bench, "I 'lows no
lawyer iu dis court wid his lies, yous
er guine ter be tried nigger, and found
guilty, and fined to pay a hundred
bushels of cotton seed, and if ver don't
pay up briefly de court will change de
sentence to a hundred lashes on yer
bare back." The trial proceeded to
conviction and the defendant paid the
seed.

The meeting was organized with Col.

Grand Lodge. Forty-one out of fiftyone
lodges in thj State were represented.
True Brotherhood Lodge, No.
344, of this place, was represented by
Past Dictator J. S. Connor. The
Order is represented as being in a very
satisfactory condition in the State. A
prominent member states that the late
legal proceedings directed against
Grand Treasurer Breckenridge have
resulted in placing the Order throughout
the country on a firmer foundation.
The number of delegates at the
meeting of the Grand Lodge was
fifty-six. The question as to the per
manent location of the Grand Lodge
was earnestly discussed and was referred
to the subordinate lodges to
report upon at the next meeting of the
Grand Lodge.
The Grand Lodge adjourned on
Friday night after deciding to held the
next meeting at Georgetown on the
third Wednesday in April, 1886. The
Chester Lodge gave a splendid supper
to the Grand Lodge at Nicholson's
Hotel. It was a very enjoyable affair.

trade in this line is increasing so fast that
it has become a lea'Tug specialty and has a
department by I always endeavor
to keen the laLi-st stvles. made of the best
material that will stand the wear. My j

view of being comfortable to the wearer. <
They will shape to any head and are made
very light in weight and well ventilated.
The soft goods are also complete in tbeir
assortment. I have the largest stock of
Straw Hats that I have ever had, in view
of the fact that the demand for these goods
increases every season, and I am prepared

change so readily as hats and clothing.
The principal object being to make them
as comfortable as possible.
