It is a pretty sure crop and our farmers should plant a good supply, as they come in nicely for feed in the spring of ihe year. ? We overheard a remark from one of our enterprising farmer a few days ago, to the effect that he had the best four-horse crop in the county. He stated that he would make sixty bales of cotton and two hundred bushels of ; , corn. He had already cut eight bales to the plow, and had forty acres which had never had a bole picked from it. This is a good showing notwithstanding the drought. Can any farmer of the county beat it? . Buggies!

The defendant demanded a jury, and after consider-! ing the casc; they returned a verdict of "not guilty." Harness.?I have now in stock a lot of single and double Harness, which I must at once turn into money. 1 will sell a firstrate article at a very low figure. Purchasers will consult their best interest by calling on me before buying elsewhere. * R. T. Matthews. He Recognized hie Immensity.--The following1 conversation token from an exchange shows the plight of a local editor: Enraptured young- woman, gazing upward (to young newspaper man) ? What a wonderful thing is spaccl Do you ever contemplate the immensity? Young newspaper man?Indeed' I do. I have a column of it to fill every day. Growing Tobacco.?A number of articles from experienced tobacco growers have been published in_ the j press of the State recently. They attempt to demonstrate the facl that there is more money in tobacco than in cotton. The demonstration works well on paper, and some of ourenterprisiug fanners should experiment in its culture. ax Enormous Amount.?The total number of liens indexed by the Clerk of the Court for the year 1885, is in round numbers 3,100, and represents a credit of $290,000. Several of the liens arc ^iven for S5.000. This is an enormous amount, and it is hardly probable that the whole will be paid from this years crop. 10,000!?Just received, Ten Thousand Duke of Durham Cigarettes. * F. W. Habenicht. Pardoned.?The Governor has pardoned Mary Bailey, who was convicted at the June term of the Court for violating the seventh commandment. She had been in jail some time before her conviction, aud the presiding Judge and Solicitor recommended her pardon after an imprisonment of ihree months. That time having been completed Jie pardon was issued. Pkof. W. L. Davison.--It has been some time since our town received a visit from a tight-rope exhibitionist, but on Friday one came, and placing his rope from the fourth story of the Hotel building across to the top of the store of J. M. Beaty & Bro. and gave an exhibition at 3 o'clock. It attracted a good crowd on the streets, and his' performance was very gocd of it? kind. The ways of making money arc numerous. The New Delivery Stamps.?Postmaster Egleston has received a supply of the ten cent delivery stamps, it is a new design. On the left hand side of the stamp is a cut of a messenger boy, anil on the right side is a half wreath, surrounding the words , "Secures immediate delivery," and upon the whole it is a very pretty design. It is certainly an improvement in the postal service of the country, and would be more so if thev could be used at smaller offices. The Successful Contestant.?As c.* promised, we announce that Mr. W. V. Chappell is entitled to receive the copy of The News and Hekald one year free, he having brought to this office the- largest watermelon, weighincr fnrfv.fhi'Oii nrvtuulc Onr OftlPl* I friends will please accept our thanks for their kind remembrance. A number of other melons ranging in weight from thirty to forty pounds were received and greatly enjoyed. Death.?"We were pained to learn of the death of little Gregor Gladney, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Gladney, of this place, on Thursday, of congestion of the brain. He was about six years old. He was visiting at his grandfather's, Mr. R. J. Gladney, when taken sick, and was never able to get back home. His remains were interred in Jackson's Creek graveyard 3n Friday. The family and friends have the sympathy of the community in their loss. A Negro's Skull?A few days ago, r\P fViA honrlc? Atl \f! Trvc T\" >0 C*V/LL1^ VI I.U& UttllUC VII 4U.i xs vci a> 4 Davis's place, near Monticello, were packing cotton, an iron weight used in packing slipped from its resting place iud, falling a distance of nine feet, jame in contact with the head of one :>f the negroes. The effect on the aegro was imperceptible, as he went >n with his work without a murmur' The weight of the iron was nineteen pounds. Our informant forgot to say whether the iron was damaged by the contract, and as we are only reporting facts we leave our readers to draw their own conclusions. New Advertisements.?Wc call especial attention to the new advertisements in this issue. Mr. R. M. Hucv has a well selected stock of heavy and fancy groceries, which he will sell cheap for cash. Messrs. Q. D. Williford & Co. give the people a list of their dry goods, which have been carefully selected and will be sold low down. Mr. L. Samuels has been in New York several weeks and his stock of dry goods is complete in every particular, and he will be glad to see his many friends. At an early day we expect to call on the merchants in town who advertise in The News and Herald, and see what they have in stock, and write up for the benefit of the people of the county what can be bought in Winnsboro/and for as little money as in any town in the State. The Competitive Drill.?We notice that the Columbia Record is bnsilv engaged in booming the military drill for Fair week. A committee from the board of trade will confer with officers of the Colombia companies and the drill doubtless be made ! a part of the programme. Col. Duncan, President of the Fair association, has subscribed two huudred dollars. We have interviewed several members ; of the Gordon Light Infantry on the j subject, and while they think the idea j good, they say it will be[impossiblc for ' the company to take part in the drill. It is usual for the company to take one trip during the year, and as they spent I a week in theRichmond trip, it will be j impracticable to go on another trip this year. Many of the men found it difficult to get off during the summer and as this is the busiest season of the year it will be almost impossible to get up the complement of men. The Orordons arc in fcrst-ratc condition, We think that the company should go if it decided to have the drift The Standard Dramatic Company. ?This popular company presented at Boag's Opera House on Monday night the play entitled tJ2ingara." The hall was crowded, and although some disappointment was caused by the absence of some of the actois, the entertainJ - ? - * J A ment was very mncn enjuyuu. auw j Irving, as Cynthia, performed her part | with nnusnal grace and impressed the j audience that she was an actress of no I mean ability. On Tuesday night a very good audience assembled to hear the play "Colleen Bawn,*' which was quite an improvement on the play of Monday night. This company had only advertised for two nights but after arriving in town they concluded fc play a third night. Quite a good crowd assembled to hear the play of "Wednesday evening. We understand that Mr. Boag has made arrangements to have a number of troops to visit Winnsboro during the season, aud outcitizens may expect some rare amuse ments. Ousters.?The Celebrated Norfolk Oysters, of the James and Covington Rivers of Virginia, will be received fresh every three days, and sold at lowest prices possible at the Winnsboro Ice House. F. "VV. IIabenicht, * Proprietor. A Gin-House Burned.?We have just learned of the destrnction by fire, of the gin-house of John Sawyer on Saturday on evening. The facts as we gather them ars as follows, John I Sawyer, who was weighing up cotton on the platform of the gin-house, l'fflrw cfonHiVitr Vitr tuifh A 11(111 tV illUV Cb'AUVUUg VJ w candle, in order to see how to weigh up the cotton. It seems that the candle was short, and the boy accidentally let it drop and soon the cotton in the building was in flames. The gin-house was a new one, recently covered with iron roofing, and the gin-head had only been used by him for one year. The building, gin-head and fixtures were entirely destroyed, together with eight bales of cotton beiongingto Sawyer, vnd three bales belonging to Mr. John Stevenson. The entire loss is between a thousand and twelve hunddollars, with no insurance. It is a hard blow to Sawyer, who is a negro, and had accumulated some property , by hard work. It should teach him a lesson, as it was dangerous for him to have the flame so near his property, and lie -will be more careful in ihe future. We sympathize with the losers and hope thay may not fce .seriously affected by the loss. Personal.?Mr. W. M. Lester, form- 1 erly of W'innsboro, has been visiting ' in town for some days. Mr. Paul M. Brice left on Wednes- ! day to take charge of the New Hope o-mrtprT sr.linnl. Wft wish him success ' e*~ "" ' in his new field of labor. Messrs. R. T. Crawford, W. D. 1 Gail lard and Elliott P.

The greatest of all the great shows is soon to be seen here; it is on its way, and is already heralded by a brilliant array of pictorial illustrations on the walls, and the newspaper announcements nx me uaie uu which the canvass city will be crected here as Tuesday, October 20. This announcement will be hailed with unalloyed pleasure by our citizens, with whom Mr. Cole bears an enviable reputation as an amusement caterer. To the lovers of the circus, Mr. Cole always prt sents an unceptionable entertainment, while to students of natural history the thoroughly complete menagerie of noble and well-kept specimens of almost' ! every known species in the animal kingdom presents a field as interesting as it Is ^ varied. His exhibitions are given under h mammoth canvass Bavilion. which is but I one of a vast city of tents required to accommodate the entire outfit, and are replete with novel features, and requiring several rings and an elevated stage to introduce the programme of upward of sixty acts of which the performance consists. These embrace leaping, tumbling, trapeze performances, aerial bicycling, roller skating, bareback riding, performing animals, a troupe of Bedouin Arab athletes, with performing Turks, Moors, Mexicans, -i 1 ^ 4-: f a snaKe cnarmer, inch. t-ieptmuw, a wgmrope walking horse, a two-beaded cow, and numerous other features. Prominent !n the menagerie department is Samson, the largest elephant ever brought to this country, and the white hippopotamus.Every feature about the show is a pleasant surprise, while the management is simply perfect. It will be a grand festival for this and surrounding towns?an event that may not occur again in years, and none should miss it J. I .fxo r /i vwi/ir.ini/. Jfessr?. Editors'. 630 bales of cotton have been received at this place to date ?October 2nd. Prices rule as high as anywhere, and goods can be bought at rock bottom prices, consequently our planters sell their cotton, and buy their groceries here. Miss Hicklin and Thorn, who have been visiting Mrs. J. R. Craig, left last Saturday, and some of our yonng men have been wearing loug faces since. Miss Fannie Brice is visiting Mrs. J. A. Brice. Messrs. J. M. and R. G. Brice will leave for Due Weston Monday next. There have been several cases of malarial fever in ana around our city, but we are glad to state all have about recovered. Two young men were driving up the railroad 011 Wednesday, when the horse became frightened at a train of cars and ran off. The young men jumped cut of the buggy and landed on terra firma "right side up," but the buggy and harness were considerably damaged. Mr. Wallace Anderson readied here on Wednesday with two carloads of Texas ponies, which he is selling at prices to suit the times. All who wish cheap horses should examine them. Onr young friend Mr. P. M. Brice commenced his school at New Hope 011 Thursday, October 1st with a full roll of pupils. The taxpayers of this vicinity arc in doubt as to what day the treasurer will be at this place. He has an advertisement posted here stating that he will be with us on the 23rd inst., but states in his advertisement in The News and Herald that he will be here on the 26th. An explanation from that officer is in order. d . ITEMS FROM CEDAR CREEK. Messrs. Editors: Times are quiet on Cedar Creek. We have not heard anything from the "Regulators" lately. Dr. Thos. F. Broom has been very feeble for the last few weeks. Mr. J. Broom's mill dam that was broken by the recent rain has been repaired, and he is at ^vork as usual. Mr. J. Allen Turkett has been very sick for several days, but we are glad to be informed that he is recovering, and the hope is entertained that he will soon be as well as usual. The Juveniles (Palmetto Leaves) had * dime readiug at Pine Grove schoolbouse last Tuesday night. As the uigui was vuiy unprupmuus inc Msseiiiblage was small, and sickness prevented some from being present. especially some of the readers. Nevertheless it ivas a very enjoyable occasion, and the readers did exceedingly well, considering the time that they had to prepare for it. The following is the programme: A. Robinson, "No -Recommendation;" Russel! Biack, "A Sketch;" T. C. Leitner, "Angel in a Saloon ;"D.L. Bledsoe, "Which Side ire You Helping;'' P. C. Broom, "Courtesies and Discourtesies;" James \V.

On last Wednesday morning Miss Lizzie Entzminger was baptized at Buffalo by the Rev. John N. Entzminger. There was a dime reading and hot supper at Buffalo church last night. A full account will be given of it in the next issue. x. October 3,1885. BROAD BITER ITEMS. Messrs. Editors: Planters in this vicinity have harvested nearly half their cotton crop, yielding about twothirds to three-fourths of a full one, I think; corn about the same; health medium. 'pv.q.-q ?o n r\f tn'ha<w? nlantafl on i. V AO ( iVu v/ a. vv w?vw Dr. FanL's farm by Mr. Wm. Aderson, on a sandy* surface, yellow clay subsoil, piney old field, cut down three years since, slightly fertilized, measuring one-seventh ot an acre. On this lot were set out five hundred tobacco plants in May and June. The plants have been cut and sun cured, many of which measured two feet in length?so says Mr. Anderson. He thinks the average weight of these plants will excerd half a pound when cured. I used sl little of his tobacco after being stripped from the stem and twisted, and thiuk it well flavored, being yet too green. Taking the above as a 1 nr\ oav6 vioMinc UilSIS UliC-aCYCiHU vi uu uv/iv 250 pounds?we have 1,750 pounds to the acre. But making all allowances, if the lot prodnced 200 pounds, which I think it did, or more, we have 1,400 pounds to the acre. Is this not more remunerative than cotton to the planter? I presume this tobacco to be worth ten cents per pound to the manufacturer. I measured also a small lot planted iu peanuts on Mr. A. L. E.'s farm, which measured about one-twelfth of an acre, producing- five bushels of edible nuts. This is a new variety, call the Banch Texas or Chinese peannf hv comft. Ifc ffrows erect, and is ,MV "'J NTW?? Q , easily cultivated and drawn up by the hand when matured in August?all seemingly matured, which is not the case with the old varieties. The hull is thin and the nut well flavored. By this calculation this lot produced at at the rate of sixty bushels per acre. This is also better than cotton to the planter. I think it high time that our planters should diversify their crops in many ways and quit the all-cotton system, and quit also complaining of the hard times, when they could pro_1 ?? " tc ik/tTT rrTAnM auce remunerative uiups n iuu; nvuiu. j Our planters never can prosper unless they produce their own plantation supplies and improve their nearly exhausted lauds. w. E. Lyles's Ford, September 28,188-5. S w. % ? * * V ITEMS FROM SIMPSOX. Messrs. Editors: Having waited in vain ior a communication irom your correspondent, "Gum Spring", whase picces wc always enjoy, wc have concluded to give you a few dots from the flourishing and prosperous burg of Simpson. This -place can boast of three stores, who claim to sell as cheap, if not a hetle cheaper than the Boro. By calling on Mrs. M. E. Nelson, Mr. C. Richardson or Messrs. Smart Bros., you can buy almost any article you wish?from a Jew's harp up. We can also boast of three public gins, almost within a stone's throw of each other. Messrs. Smart Bros., Gnnnell & Richardson and U. G. Desportes are prepared to accommodate any one who may favor them with a call, and guarantee a fine turn out of cotton at the reasonable charge of thirty-five cents per hundred weight. The conseqnence is cotton (which is being gathered rapidly), may be seen going in every direction to be ginned, in order that the owner, or rather the producer, may get the advantage of the very line price it is now bringing. The crop of cotton in this section will be short; corn crop good. rne last neavy rain caused tne ciam i at Col. Black's mill to break, thus depriving Mr. Jno. Walling, who had the mill tract rented, of both ginning and grinding. The mill was a great convenience to this section of the county and will be greatly mis9ed. It was a considerable loss both to the owner and the renter, and a very great inconvenience to the community. The time this accident happened the writer was enjoying himself at the wedding of one of Fairfield's lovely daughters?Miss Eunicc Powell to Mr. Win. Lykcs, of Richland county. At the appointed hour the bridal couple, accompanied by their attendants?Mr. Pearson and Miss Sallie Boulwarc, Mr. Aughtrv and Miss Rowe, Mr. Patrick and Miss Minnie Yongue, and | Mr. McDowell and Miss Mary Boul-1 ware?made their appearance, and the ceremony was happily performed by the Rev. C. G. Bradford, of Winnsboro, in the presence of a few friends who were there assembled. After which the usual congratulations were offered, and not only the groom and bride, but all present seemed to enjoy themselves. Soon supper was announced, and, oh! what a nice supper it was. If there is such a thing as foundering a man the writer was certainly foundered, and he is of the opinion that some of his Iriends were in like condition. We felt very much like we would not care to see anything more to cat for a week. However, on reaching home the next evening, we found our better-half had prepared for our special benefit a mess of carpsome of the many fish caught when fho mill ornvft wav. Anv Olian titv of fish were captured. One of the neighbors said ho captiued about twenty-five or thirty pounds of the finest kind of perch and carp. Could you have seen us enjoying the fish you would not have accused us of hrving just returned from a wedding feast, but with us in the country a mess of fresh fish, particularly such fish as we had at that time, is a raritv. We believe it was the first mess of carp we had ever had, and since eating it, too, have been surprised that persons who have fish ponds do not fill them with this fish, for there can certainly be found no better or sweeter fish than a fins carp.

Besides Cardinal Jacobina the Pope will consult various experts in regard to the matter. ?The New York correspondent of the London Standard took pains to cable to that journal that Jumbo left two widows to deplore his loss, but that ''posthumous Jumbos are expected in ten and seventeen months respec tively." ?A smooth complexion can be had by every lady who will use Parker's Tonic. For" promptly' regulating the liver and kidneys and purifying the blood, there is nothing like it, and this is the reason why it so quicely removes pimples and gives a rosy bloom to the cheeks. * HYMENEAL.
