?The Sheriff sold on Monday one i
r tract of land situated in the western <

?We have been informed by a citizen
of the western section of the county
that oat seed in that section is very
scarce, and that the farmers can hardly
get enough to plant their faH crops.
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?

In the Trial Justice Court.?
On Monday the case of the State vs.
T. P. Younginer, came up for trial
before Justice Xeil. He was charged
with failure to work the public highway
after due notice. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

soon be as well as usual.
The Juveniles (Palmetto Leaves) had

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:

his body?we suppose for an ornament
to decorate their hats.
On last Wednesday morning Miss

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

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

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,

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

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. Aliquis.
