He was exhorting his hearers to try and get to Heaven, an? said the door was locked, and that no "ravenous beast or lawyer could enter." As the listener happen, ed to belong to the latter class he concluded to move on. Scarcity of Dwellings.?We have been informed that several attempts have been made to reDt houses for the next yearby men from the country and without success. Some enterprising man should erect cottages in town for the benefit of parties desiring to come among us. Certainly, consider ing- the scarcity of dwelling?, they could be rented at a handsome profit, and at the same time would increase the prosperity of the town. Off to New Jersey.?On Tuesday evening Mr. "W. D. Aiken, a life-long citizen of of Fairfield, and. for some years past a resident of "Winnsboro, left with his family for Princeton, New Jersey, where he expects to make his future home. Mr. Aiken lias purchased a place in the suberbs of that city, and expect? to engage ia stock farming.

ChSTERS.?'The Celebrated Norfolk Oysters, of the James and Covington Rivers of Virginia, will be received fresh every three days, and sold at iowest prices possible at the Wiunsboro Ice House. F. W. IIabexicht, * Proprietor. Oub Cotton Market.?While in conversation with a gentleman on Saturday, who had been visiting in the. western section of the county, we were informed that the farmers of that section, didn't understand why the cotton men of Winnsboro could give more for cotton than other markets. They said the market here was from five to ten points higher than any other market in the county, and was even higher than the Chester market. We have no explanation to make, except that the cotton men of Winnsboro are determined to give the higest price consistentent with their own interests. This is certainly a good showing for our market, and the farmers of the county will find it to their interest to sell iu this market. An Improvememt.?For a long time trie traveling puouc nave ieit mat, suujc improvement was needed at the passenger depot, for the accommodation of ladies in waiting for the train. Heretofore they have been compelled to go into the ticket office, and in manyinstances it was crowded and the accommodations ver\* poor. The railroad authorities are now fixing up the old postoffice, and a door will be cut between the office and this room, which will be used as a ladies' waiting-room. We understand it will be furnished nicely and will be made a cosy place for waiting passengers. This is a much needed improvemeut, and we are sore the railroad authorities will have the thanks of the entire public, for their exertions for the accommodation of passengers waiting I for the train. m A Happy Occasion.?A number of j friends gathered at the residence of Mrs. J. B. McCants on Wednesday? the occasion being the marriage of Miss Laura G. McCants to Mr. R. B. Miller, j of Shelby, N. C. The ceremony was j performed by the Rev. D. E. Jordan. ! pastor of Scion Presbyterian Church j of this place. At its close the congratulations and good-wishes extended | to Mr. and Mrs. Miller showed the i interest felt by the assembled company. (After a time spent in pleasant con' versation a delightful collation was j served, and made up one of the very enjoyable features of the occasion. I The bridal party left on the north ! bound train, at three o'clock, for Golds- ! I boro, where they will be untert&iued by relatives of the groom. Thence they will go to Shelby, to make that place their home.. Winnsboro sends after them hearty wishes for their longcontinued happiness?none the less hearty because mingled with regret at 'the loss of one of her most admired youBg ladies. Free Tuition*.?We clip the following from the letter of the Williamston correspondent of the News and Couii&r: The Wiliainston Female College will furnish regular tuition free for the year 1886 to one first or second grade young lady teacher of over eighteen years of age from each of the following ? ? - * ? ^ ! ii_ counties: ANueiwii) r/ugcu^iu, j?hfield, Georgetown, Greenville, Hampton, Horry, Kershaw, Lancaster, Laurens, Lexington and Marion. "The I applicant must bring a letter from her ! county school commissioner commending her as of excellent moral character, fair mental capacity, studious habits and a laudable desire to cultivate her powers to the highest practical exj tent." As it was practicable to accommodate oaly twelve such students each year, the coanties of the State have been divided into three groups, to each | of which the offer will be made in sue! ceeding years. j This is a good opportunity for some young lady teacher of this county to obtain an education at little cost, and we hope to hear of some one taking advantage of it. A Novel Exhibition.?The St. Louis Post-Dispatch compliments Cole's Circus very highly in the following manner: "The performanco was without question, one of the very best ever given here, and demonstrated most perfectly that it is not necessary for enterprising managers to keep in the same stereotyped track in present* P?p/?ne io full nf Uig itlviai'tlVUO* VViV# O V11V/UO 10 AUlt v* | new and novel features, not only J demonstrating remarkable ingenuity in the selection of tftfe features, bat also involving remarkable skill in presenting them. The doable ring and elevated stage are occupied constantly and give at the same time varied and non-conflicting performances, which can be appreciated and enjoyed at the same time. The Bedouin Arabs, the Mexiran exhibition, the equestrian pig and monkey, the artistic and grotesque 11 <---L J.U- 1? ? roller skaters, uie iiiai yciuus uuiuau fly," M'lle Aimee, the athletes, bareback riding, the clowns and the riding of Leon, the wonder, and the daring feats of George Conklin, the. lion tamer, are but a tithe of Ihe multitude of features offered at this great show. The double menagerie, the museum and wax-work collection, the twoheaded cow, the herd of performing elephants, headed by the monster Samson, and the equine wonder, Blondin, the tight-rope walking horse, may also be mentioned as wonderfully interesting features. In a word, Cole's Circus is, beyond a doubt, one as the best ever exhibited in St. Louis, and so far as keeping up with the times is concerned, it may be said to be leading other shows in the matter of novelty and attractiveness. Afternoon aud evening performances will be given - * - tit: daily." xne peopis ui hhiusuuiw and surrounding country will have an opportunity of seeing this colossal show in its entirety, on Tuesday, October 20. ?A smooth complexion can be had 1 by every lady who will use Parker's i Tonic. "For"promptly regulating the i liver and kidneys and purifying the blood, there is nothing like it, and this is the reason why it so quiceiy removes 1 pimples and gives a rosy bloom to the cheeks. . * ITEMS FROM C&DA& CREEK. Messrs. Editors: There has not much transpired in our quiet community since your last issue. Times are quiet in this portion of Fairfield. The farmers are busy; the health of the people generally is good. On last Mondav morning the konse of Mr. D. L. Bledsoe was entered by a colored boy, who borrowed a watch and a liltle money. The boy was captured. Mr. Bledsoe got his watch, but as money has wings, it had flown. Mrs. Rebecca Jackson, who has been feuffering with the ranch dreaded disease consumption for several years, died at Mr. J. M. Vaughn's last Saturday evening. She was buried at Hormah. She leaves a husband to | mourn her loss. Mr. John C. Taylor, of York, was in this neighborhood last week looking - ? 1 - T-T... I A mat. Jit SOUJU JUIIU. X1C IS lllillMII^ VI lliuoing Fairfield bis future home. . Opposition is the life of trade. Messrs. Westcott & Kelly have opened a store on Cedar Creek east of Dunlap's mill. Mrs. Hogan, from Creorgia, is visiting friends and relatives in this section. The Rev. C. G. Bradford, assisted by the Rev. T. W. Mellichamp and the Rev. John N. Entzminger, have been conducting* a protracted meeting at Sandy Level during the past week. 1 There was a dime readiug and hot j supper at Buffalo church last Friday night. It began to rain late in the afternoon and did not cease until after dark, consequently there were not as many present as would have been, had it been a favorable night. The sapper i-nlindlil' lumnnnrlp flnri Aflkfi vr ao ojjicuuiM ) iuv delightful. How could the lemonade have been otherwise? There was nothing to mar the pleasure of the participants, with the exception of two, who had their buggies broken. The readers were John B. Broom? "A Sermon on Women," by D. L. Bledsoe'; Miss Minnie Broom?"Curfew MustNot Ring Tonight" (poetry). An essay on "Past, Present and Future" was read by J. W. Jones, which was ordered to be published with the Cedar Creek Items. It is as follows: My days are swifter than a courier. They fly away; they are as the swift ships; as the eagles. So said Job; he who had sat in quiet contemplation beneath his palin tree in the quiet ; summers of Edom, while four-score years had passed away and he had one 1 hundred and forty "years- of happy, restful life ahead of him. And yet his days were as swift as the courier; as the ship careering before the wind; as the eagle swooping down upon his quarry; as the dry leaf in the storm; as the hurrying. cloud. But his days, hour for hour, were shorter than our owu. The swift speed with which we pass the mile-stones of life, he knew nothing. At the period when our beads are covered with silver hairs, and our brows show the furrows of care and sorrow and toil, his was smooth with *he flush o|" youth. ? But we not envy Job; we should not, for, into our life, as short as it is, .*,1 nf L-nAtrlo/loro ! IS CUlii[jrCS9CU muig VI nilVMIVUgV) I experience ami perhaps pleasure than Job could see in all his years. Even if it were otherwise, one should not look with sorrow at the days as they speed past us. Let them fly. There is a w,hole eternity of them ahead, and all that are gone do not diminish the i 6tore. The eagle swooping from the < cliff will soon reach the valley; the courier will soon deliver his message; 1 the ship will cross the billowy deep and grate on the sands of the far-off shore; but the line of the soul's flight reaches throughout the countless ages of eternity. It will be speeding on when the * visible heavens are rolled together a scroll, folded and laid aside. , We hear a great deal said concerning misspent, wasted years. They are not wasted, unless they are given to Satan and to the neglect of self and God. Every hour we spend with family, friends, books or travel, is well spent. J Let them fly; wc are anxious to see some loved one who has gone to lhat oetter world. Let them outstrip the steed, the ship, the leaf, the clod. Let us try to freight them with love, and witb'cbarity. If they are bright, they are bright because they fly. If they are gloomy, they were better gone than staying. "We "shall lift' up no sad requiem over the disappearance of the days aud years as they fly past us. Old people look down and think of the past; young people look up and think of the future; children loot everywhere and think of nothing. Old people look backward, because most of their' joys lie in the past. The years that are gone are full of happy memories and associations. The thoughts of davs that have gone by are pleasant * .1 . aua sweet, vrnen iney aie uwrcu down with cares and * smitten' with griefs, they reach back the hand of longing to seize if they can the expej rience that were theirs in the long ago. Young people arc not that way. They have their life to live; they look forward with eager desire for its pleasures; they imagine what they are going to be and to do; they build castles in the air, whose weak, feeble walls they hope to see at some future day become to be real and substantial. The thought of hindrance they banish from their minds. A few years ago there was not a medical school in America, and at a less remote period our country was without public schools. Only a few generations back newspapers, magazines and children's literature?especially the last mentioned?were unknown. The time was when * stove was not allowed in a church. There are some places at the present time where some of the members would complain should it be proposed to put an organ in the church. It would be as difficult to catch the fhof snow in fho atr trv trt IUOU OVU1Q AU VUV MMM ?. y put it back into the shell, or plnck the blossom from the tree and attempt to crowd it back into the bad, or take a fnll grown man, put him in lonj clothes, and rock him in his mother'i cradle, as to attempt to put the nineteenth century back into the shell or bnd of the sixteenth. The present time has been a long time coming. * It has keen on the ving ever since the morning stars sang together. Every age has given it t treasure to bring along. This morning the casket was opened and made V.O tn_n?crhf fhp mPRSPncer will no I1VU) w\rui^M?p Q gather op all of these treasures that we do not use and carry them away. This should be a busy day. It is well to look forward, to anticipate the future, and to prepare for it; that is all proper and wise. But we should look forward to something worthy and noble. To have only anticipations of selfish and worldly profits is to cherish the dreams of a fool. To spend this life for God and man, and the interests of a higher nature is to lay the foundation of a career full of the truest joy. Oh! my young friends, look forward to something worthy of your nobler nature. Then when life wears to its close, look back with the apostle, you may say: "I have foaght a good fight, I have finished mv course, 1 have kept the faith," and looking forward yon may also say with him?"Henceforth is reserved for me a crown of righteousness.'* x.
