It was somewhat de- ; aced, but bv a careful scrutiny the 1 ollowing inscription could be made ( >ut: "P. Sbamon, Sutler, Soth Ilegi- c lent, Indiana Volunteer?, ten cents in i oods."' They were used in place of Qoney by the army, and entitled the ^ [Older to as much goods as his check ] ailed for upon its face. The one '< Dund we suppose was lost by a mem- ( ier of the Soth Indiana Regiment dur- j .lg.Sherman's marchfrom the sea, and cry likely he was compelled to do 1 rithont his tobacco for several days on cconnt of his loss.

There is a ;oodiy increase of civil business on 1 he docket also. With the civil and I . riminal business on hand the lawyers j re all busy. It is gratifying to know j hat though there are a number of i riminal cases on hand they are for : omparatively small crimes. The citi- ; ens of Fairfield should feel proud bat the pages of her history arc not lackened by those hideous crimes fhich so often unfortunately disgrace ; he annals of her sister counties.

Important to Road Overseer?.? 1 There seems to be some doubt as to : i the authority of overseers of roads to ; order the laborers liable to road duty , ] to furnish their own tools and im-; [ilements with which to work public i roads. The Legislature has prescribed statutory regulations which arc clear ] i find explicit on this subject. Section ' i 108-i of the (General Statutes piovidcs: : The Superintendent of Highway h Districts shall divide the highways of j, [lis district into suitable sections ofi not less than two miles nor more than | due miles each, and shall appoint an I < overseer for each section. He shall j require the overseer in his highway district to call out the hands assigned |' to the respective districts, to work the j1 roads, whenever he deems it necessary, '1 ifter twelve hours notice, and shall i require every hand to bring with him !: for use a hoc, axe, mattock, spade, or j j other tool for work on roads or;' u_r,t ! : ifiiuyca. o Tiie "Bucktails" and the Sixth.? i Wc arc kindly furnished with the fol-! km ing letter for publication.

We found the out school-; 1 ooms in bad condition?worse than j i fome of us anticipated. We do not i i ,hink in their present condition they j ire likely to aid the school to prosper, i uid they may be detrimental to the wealth of .some of our youth during' he cold winds of winter. . We found .he roof of main building in a leaking ;ondition. It is our opinion that the ; nitbuildings are in such dilapidated i! rondition as to warrant only the most I! lecessary repairs to make them tenable ' luring the coming winter. We call ! he attention of the Building Commit- ; ;ce of Mount Zion Society to the re- J pairs necessary to the outbuildings, j Uso to the temporary repairs needed )n the roof of main building, under- , :to?ir7ino- flint there are sufficient funds . n their treasury for said purpose. We believe "that additions can be nade to the main building iu such a ] svav as to utilize the material and ? . corns now contained in it, without i demolishing {he structure. We recommend to this meeting that steps be taken at once to devise ways ! ind means to build in the near future < i college on Mount Zion?s hill that will be iu keeping with Mouut Zion's past iiistory; that will be comfortable to 1 Diir youth during their hours of mental i jxercise, and that will bring back to Mount Zion her former prospertv. Mr. Reynolds submitted the following report, which, on motion, wns likewise received as information: The undersigned committee, appointed at the meeting of citizens held on ;he 20th inst., to confer with the Town 1 Council of "Winnsboro, and invite their jo-operation in the proposed improvement of the buildings of the Mount , Zion Institute, resnecfully report: That the committee have bad & con- : fercncc with the Council, and obtained '< from that body certain information : touching the resources and liabilities :>f the town, which is herewith submitted as a part of this report. In the absence of an accurate estimate of the amount expected or desired Df the Council, and in view of the impossibility of estimating the probable income of the town, from and > alter the expiration 01 me nscai year, i the Council are unable to Bay to what I extent, if any, the town shall hereafter be in condition to aid the citizens in the object sought to be accomplished. The following is the 'statement of the town's resources and liabilities, for the fiscal year commencing May 1, 1885: RESOURCES. Available cash $ 4GS 00 License notes 1,600 00 Rent of market 175 00 Licenses and fines other than liquor 250 00 Street tax 250 00 Liquor licenses 1st qr. 1886. 800 00 2 mills tax on $G50,000 1,300 00 Deficiency 1 68 Total 8 4,844 68 ESTIMATED LIABILITIES.

In reply to an inquiry from Mr. G. H. McMaster, Intendant Elliott stated that it was the purpose of Council to keep the expenditures closely within the estimates. The .streets J' must be kept up, and the cisterns will i need repair in order fo make them J1 liold water to their full capacity. Al-; i together, he thought the estimates! w 7 w moderate. Mr. Beaty called attention to certain sxtraordiuary expenses in the past? the purchase of Barber's Hall lor ; 5'1,000, the steamer for about $4,000, liul the street improvement at a cost of > *1,000?and that the town ought to be in easier condition during the next six ( L>r eight years. Mr. Xeil inquired if there were notI 1 *ome legal difficulties in the way of | the municipal aid desired, and asked j L'ol. Icion to give his opinion. Col. Kion said that the charter lim- j i itecl the bonded debt o! tne town 10 j $3,000, and no such debt could be incurred except through the action of ' :i meeting of citizens. Mr. McMastef inquired whether the ' Legislature could not empower I lie Council to issue bonds. Col. Eion replied affirmatively, but tltou<rht the Legislature would be governed by the ! will of the taxpayers. ' Mr. Elliott supplemented the report ' jf the examining committee with a \ letailed statement of the condition of j' t.lie buildings, and emphasized the need : { >f immediate repairs. lie thought the | most-equitable plan to raise fundjwould be to issue bonds of the town. Mr. J. C. Caldwell concurred in Mr. !/! 1! + r\ P nn/*Ovd t \r aF i l-lllULl/> V \jt iliv w?. . , repairs, and stated that there are funds i 1 now on*hand sufficient to make them. J Col. TCion, after an allusion to the circumstances attending the erection of the brick building now used, suggested ihat 110 time be lost in putting the present school-rooms in safe and | licalthy condition. After that, he j thought that separate school, buildings,! three in number, and of wood, should j? jc erected to the north of the present j ^ main building. Afterwards the main | , juilding should be enlarged, and a ; >tory added for the teacher's residence. : : Capt. I. X.

The following substitute ! vv<is miauy uuupicu uuumuiuudiv . Resolvedj That a petition be at once 1 :irculated among the citizens of the town, for their signature, praying the Legislature to authorize the Town Uouncil of Winnsboro to issue $7,500 Df bonds, bearing interest at seven per cent., payable annually; one-fiftccnth of the principal of said bonds j lobe retired each jear; and the proceeds of said bonds* to be used for the improvement of the school property of : the Mount Zion Society.

McMastcr and J. E..McDonald, be appointed to take the necessary stepS" for the is?Tfance and sale of the bonds proposed to be issued. Hie motion was amended so as to add ' Messrs. A. S. Douglass and T. K. Elliott to the committee, and in this shape passed. Mr. Davis moved that a committee of eight be appointed to obtain signatures to the petition to the Legislature. Adopted. The chairman appointed Messrs. J. Q. Davis, I. N. Withers, \V. n. Kerr, J. F. McMaster, J. 31. Beaty, J. G. McCants, T. H. Kctchin and D. R. Flennikcn.

Cotton and corn are both good there, especially the latter, in a section of the county called the "Black Jacks". The people are lively and jovial, anticipating a better crop this fall than usual. Picnics were numerous, and notwithstanding the high temperature of the atmosphere, they would engage in the amusement some call "tripping the fantastic toe". Crops in this portion of Fairfield' have suifered very much from the drouth that has prevailed for several weeks. Some say that cotton is damaged so much that the yield will not be more than two-thirds of a crop. It ' - .la. nas Deen raining 10-uay uuu uju liuuici/s can soon cease grumbling about dry weather and hard ground and begin preparing the soil for small grain. The time for saving fodder has passed and the farmers generally are very busily engaged picking cotton. The third quarterly conference for Fairfield circuit was held last Saturday and Sunday at Pine Grove. The Rev. A. Coke Smith, Presiding Elder, preached on both days. The official members were nearly all present. The congregation on Sunday was large, as spacious as the church is. The people could not be seated. During the conference a subscription was taken i_ i?;u ? to raise monuy lu uimu u> nuw ^nu&^ii at Pine Grove. All subscribed very liberally?besides the lumber and shingles over three hundred dollars being subscribed. A building committee was appointed, who held their first meeting last "Wednesday evening and elected J. Allen Turkctt chairman and Thomas C. Leilncr secretary and trcas* Ej urer. Tlicy are fixing to go to work on the chnrch soon, and we hope the time is not far distant when the people around Pine Grove will have as jj, fine a chnrch as any in the neighbor- ar liood. Why should they not? for thev sj are a liberal, church-loving, church- cc L'oing people. After four weeks' vacation Mr. J.

But she suffers no pain; is a well developed "woman, and can endure teaching her schools and C singing with them, all day long, for four days in every week. She is a & sister of the Mrs." Morgan, of Edge- ? field, about whom there has recently ^ been so much excitement as an instance w of faith-cure. The friends of Miss b< Boyd trust that the kind Providence p< which has restored her sister, may ot also confer upon her so great a blessing. H She bears with asublime patience her a] afliiction and says that she feels so cj happy and contented and God has _ ffiven her so many friends that she q really does not know but that she would rather continue as she is. It is impossible to be in the presence of n such a true Christian without being J impressed with the goodness of God. el He has indeed deprived "her of the use n' of her limbs, but He has given her SJ health, and He has given her vocal y powers of a high order, so that she is jj able to earn an independenc living. _ With such a teacher there is no such a thing as failure, and the largo audience which attended our closing exercises J can testify that the singing was accu- c rate as to time and grand in melody. o Your correspondent also attended C the closing exercises of the Monticello ft school. The attendance was large and A the singing fine. Just before the school closed at Salem a letter was read to the class from Miss Boyd, expressing her gratification at the 'welcome she had received here, and bidding us all farewell. In a few remarks Mr. Burgess returned, the tnanKs 01 me scnooi, ana then we dispersed to our various homes to think of the many pleasant hours we had spent together. At Monticello similar valedictory exercises took place. Miss Boyd is now teaching in New- r berry. She will return to Fairfield ^ before long, and will teach classes at Lebanon, White Oak and Union. Salem Church has recently been blessed ^ with a gracious outpouring of God's ^ Holy Spirit. May it not be that the ? influence of this Christian woman, in ^ the songs selected, was the instrument used to prepare sinful hearts for the ni earnest preaching of the Ilev. H. B. a: Garriss? No less than forty-one persons have been received into the full y communion of our church, and to no ^ less than twenty-one of these the e< sacrament of baptism had to be admin- aj istered.

Evervling about shows more of spirit id life; and to the willing minds and reless energies of the dear ladies we ive the praise which the) so richly jserve.
