Defendant was fined twelve dollars. P ?A barn and farm produce was r destroyed by fire ou Mrs. Coleraaifs place near Monticello last Thursday night. It is not known whether it was , the work of an incendiary or the result of accident. ?It is said that the devil finds work . for idle hands, and from the number of petty offences being tried in the trial iustice courts during this season of idleness, we have concluded that , there is a great deal more troth than poetry in the houielv adage. ?The following notice was fonnd Dosted on the closed doors of one of the most prominent business houses of town: "Closed, in honor of the VicePresident's death until to-morrow morning, and have gone rabbit hunting." I ?Mr. David A Fisher, of Washing- , ton, D. C., special examiner sent out i by the Department of Justice, made an examination of the books in United States Commissioner Obear's office at this place. The examination was en- , tirely satisfactory, and the books pro ^ nonnced correct. ?Mr. C. A DeSaussnre has been in ? town several days.in the interest of the . East Tennessee, Georgia & Virginia Railroad. Mr. DeSaussnre is a native ' Carolinian, who by hard work and business tact has succeeded in rerching the responsible position of general +;<*??< ?jov*nt for this line. ?Very little cotton is being brought to town now and our cotton buyers find plenty of time in which to loaf. 1 The "VVinnsboro market has been ahead of np-conntry markets this fall and those farmers who have not sold will find that they can do better by selling at home than by shipping to foreign markets. ?There have been recently a large mio Tirorrr\nc in - Iiuiuucr VI HUi tu VAtvuiia n?gV4w *? town loaded with apples, chestnuts, etc. There was once a time when 1 every suoh wagon carried as a part of its load a jog of family corn whiskey, on which no tax had been paid, but under the present administration the risk is too great.

But when the appropriation bill comes up, and the bill abol^ ishing free tuition in the college, and the election of certain Judges, the < probabilities are that "the most potent grave and reverend signers who make i our laws will have a parrot and monkey time among themselves." ?Mr. DuBose Egleston has left a , ? fine specimen of the Irish potato at our office. It is from third erop raised on the same ground during the year. Two crops of potatoes were raised on the same ground and then the land was planted in turnips. From the potatoes left in the ground a vofanteer crop sprang up among the turnips, from which Mr. Egleston informs ns he has had a bountiful supply for family use. f I ?There was a drunken man in town a few days ago who had probably reached the acme of drunkenness. He spent the night in the guard-house, but before his incarceration he held several animated discussions with the trees on the sidewalk and attempted to ? knock a lamp-post down for shining ^ its light in his face. Sam Jones would find a wide field for the exercise of his prohibition arguments in this region. - -We are informed that the oats crop is in very g-ood condition, though needing a little rain." Farmers who ^ have neglected to put in a good fall crop of this cereal should repair the mischief as far s.s possible by planting a good spring crop. This crop is one of the most important to the farmers and a good o?;ts crop next year will save many dollars which would otherwise be spent for Western corn and . . Northern hay. ? vy e nave oeen miormea mat uoi. J. T. Dawkins, of Monticello, has sold both of his places?his Broad River place to Mr. J. S. Swygert and his Monticello place to Mr. W. C. Miller, of Lexington county. The Colonel expects to move to Texas, we believe, fcarly in the spring. We dislike to hear of good citizens leaving Fairfield5 and wd hope that the Colonel will reconsider the matter and decide to stay. ' T"> * ? ?- ? T?.?I1 ?"recK's isaa isoy" was e.\pcwicu here Friday night, but his father ha? written informing us thai his yonug hopeful will not be able to keep the appointment, as "he is off oh another racket." It hss been suggested that this youth be spanked and put to bed, but we hope that this consummation will not be reached until he has afforded a "Winnsborc audience an opportunity to laugh at his antics, and to sympathize with him in his troubles. ?We are informed that Mr. Jeremiah McCarthy, a former citizen of Fairfield, died in Columbia a day or two ago, Mr. McCarthey was over eighty years of age at thetima of his death. While a citizen of this county, he engaged iu the occupation of schoolteaching, and to him some of our older citizens were indebted for their early scholastic trainiug. After he left Fairfield he settled in Lexington, where he contiuned the work instruct mg tne \ oung. reace to uis asnes. --Two soldiers belonging to the "Tramp Legion," found uncomfortable qnartei. in the guardhouse at this place on Monday night. A number of them have been in town recently and more are expected to arrive. The legion is on its annual Southern tour. The delicate constitutions of the Individuals composing this army cannot withstand the rigid Northern climate, so about the first of October, the sound of "Tramp, tramp, tramp," may be heard from Maine to Nexico. ?A negro from the Feasterville section who went to Arkansas several months ago has returned and is organizing clubs of emigrants to go to Arkansas. He informs the negroes that as soon as they reach Arkansas they are presented with an absolute title to five hundred acres of land, a mule and provisions to run them for one year. All Hip -.imnArfv is ftTerrmi from taxa tion for five years. The negroes are taking this yarn in with as much confidence as if the leader was a new prophet arisen to lead them to a new land of promise. We hope that they will not be disappointed in their hopes. Time Extended.?The time for paying taxes without penalty is extended unm ine om uecemoer. Again Victorious.?Five competent judges award the highest prize to the New High Arm Davis Fertical Feed at the late Charlotte Fair for the best Family Sewing Machine. For sale by J.O. Boag. * Hymexial.? On the 18th inst., Mr. Martin F. Pope and Miss Minnie Cas lies:, were nnitcd in the bonds of holy wedlock, by the Rev. Mr. Mahon at the residence of the bride's father. Shoes! Shoes!?Don't bay your Shoes and Boots until you come and look through our stock. Our prices will convince you that we are actually selling cheaper than the cheapest. D. A. Hexdrix, * Next door to National Bank. In the Trial Justice Court.?In the two cases of the State vs. CatoHiLl, for assault and battery. Mr. W. L. McDonald for the State and Mr. E. B. Ragdsdale for the defense. Defendant moved for a continuance, on the grounds of the absence of material witnosses. The necessary affidavit was made and the motion granted. A Stenographer for the Sixth Circuit.?We are glad to learn that tftere is every prooaomiy' tne esiaolishmer.t by law of the office of stenographer for the sixth judicial district, as snch an officer has been long needed and the appointment of an efficient person to the place wiil greatly facilitate the business of the courts. The bill has been introduced and passed to its third reading. There was, of coarse, tne usual opposition irorn tnose ignorant of the duties of the office and the advantages to be derived from tlie establishment of such an office. This opposition wil), of course, continue until the bill has been read a third time, but it will not amount to much as all effort to defeat a bill after it has passed to the third reading is usuallyfutile and we hope for the good of the nubll that this will be 110 exception to the rule. Fairfield Granite.?Onr Charleston contemporary in speaking of the Industrial Exhibition now going on in Charleston, refers to specimens of Fairfield granite in very flattering terms, and goes on to say that this granite has never been shipped or used outside of the State. This is a mistake, for we can remember that as far back as ten years ago this granite" was shipped to various points outside of South Carolina. Lonisviiie, St. Louis and Nashville are some of the points to which this stone has been shipped. Messrs. Orman & Stewart, of Nashville, Tenn., have had a contract with owner of one of the quarries and have been shipping stone for the last year. They have also recently consummated a lease of one of the quarries and will work it for a long period. This stone is rapidly gaining favor with builders and contractors in all sections of the country. Iu quality it is exceptionally fine and in quantity unlimited. Bargains! Bargains!?Now is the time to get bargains in Ladies' Dress Cashmeres, Flannels, Worsteds, etc. 17.1 i. l.l. T\ * reiver tu xj Next door to National Bank. * Thanksgiving Dat. ?Thansgiving Day was observed more generally this year than ever before by the citizens oi town, dii 01 uie leaaing ousine&is houses closed their doors and services were held in nearly all of the churches. The observance of the day has never been so general in the South as at the North, and of late years the fact, that it was a dav set apart bv the partv in power, which party by its practices had become obnoxious to the citizens of the South, less respect was paid than ordinarily. The United Stales is the only nation which has such a national festival. Other nations have their feast days and their fast days, but they are the result rather of eccle | sialic thau political infiiiehces: With us, however, there is one day set apart from all the rc*t on which the whole nation joins with one common voice in returning thanks to the Great Ruler of the universe for those blessinsrs of peace and prosperity which 111 His wisdom lie has seen lit to bestow upon them, and on this day millions of citizens who compose this great nation invoke His blesi-ing for the fuiure upon themselves and their government. We think that it is meet and fitting that one day should be tims set aside, and we Mope that in future it will become popular. r The New Negko Exodus. ? On Monday a party of negroes emigrants numbering about fifty souls boarded the north-bound train at this point en route for Arkansas. We are informed that about the same time another squad of negroes left by the Spartanburg & Union Railroad, from the western section of the count}' for the same State. These sqnads are but the pioner guard of a large force, who will leave the red hills of Fairfield to soek homes in the fertile fields of the new promise 1 Ifieciccinn! Thp JL&llil UCVUUU iUlCOi99l|/^/i* A MW census of 1880 shows that in Fairfield there are about 7,000 whites and about 21,000 negroes, so we could easily spare a few hundreds of the more worthless if such would leave, but unfortunately the emigrants are drawn from the most industrious of the negro population. Negroes who by hard work and J the practice of domestic economy, not far removed from starvation, have succeeded in saving enough to pav for tickets are the ones who are leaving. The railroads leading to the West are offering special transportation rates to all who wish to go. The railroads leading into our State should make some effort to draw the tide of white emigration into its boundaries, as the time will come if it has not already arrived, when good laborers will be as ? t? fkn i?qi 1 suurwe as ueu icciu. xi > u...? of oar State had not been managed under a policy of short-sighted selfishness and moss backed conservatism, such an effort would have been made long ago. ITEMS FROM CEDAR CREEK. If space will permit please allow us a line or two in The News and Herald. For the last few days we are almost inclined to think that winter has arrived. Some of the farmers in this section have finished sowing wheat. There is some sickness ill the community. Mr. Frank Brown has been iii bad health for some time, and Mrs. | Ellen Rains is very sick. On last Tuesday night the good people in the vicinity of Pine Grove had a festival at the school-house. It was an enjoyable occasion for both old and young. After the reading and dialogues, wliich took place iu the church, all repaired to the school-house to partake of the refreshments with which the table was bountifully spread* At the close of the festival a srood namber Df the voting gents selected their partners and walked for a cake. Mr. Andrew Ballentine and Miss Irene Lever were the lucky couple, although they were kind enough to divide it among the unfortunate pedestrians. There were a good many people present, and some that were very liberal. A good amount was collectad, which will be used in the erection of the new church. Now a word for some of the young ladies of the naighborhood, "who are useful as well as ornamental," were not willing for the older people to do all the good, and proposed to collect what they could to go towards purchasing the windows. The following are the names and amounts ef those that we have heard from: Miss Jessie C. Robinson, $6.00; Misses Mary and Maggie Abel!, $3.00 each. x. ITEMS FROM LTLJSS'S FOSV. 7ir*>ewe f.rirtnrs'. Having- recently returned from Newberry, I have but little of interest from this section to communicate. Onr farmers, both in Fairfield and Newberry, I learn have harvested nearly all of their cotton crop, and are sowing1 grain. Not a fall crop of wheat will be sown, the price of flour being low. This is not farmer-like. ^ ^ fA Kfl mot. Will" i&ILUCi 3 9CCUIS S&cui IU I/O uiuav ing preparations for the production of the tobacco plant. Our climate and soil are well adapted to the best varieties. All we need is experience to make it remunerative. I have used, some years ago, tobacco grown here of the highest flavor. Onr schools are all in successful operation. The Rev. Mr. Yann has resumed at Rock Creek, Mr. Dargan near Blair's, and Miss Hamilton at Salem. While at Newberry I commenced 'Reminiscences ot Fairfield County". I have written nearly as far as I have "* ? ?> a knowledge 01 our county; ui iuu first settlers and some historical and biographical items, aided by Mills' Statistics of South Carolina and Woodward's Reminiscences. I have yielded to many urgent solicitations of friends to compile a history of Fairfield with diffidence, knowing my inability to procure material to make it any way complete. The time has past to mofAiMol -fWtm or UUU11II liiUUi uiat&iiai Itvai ?mvuiv? v* tradition, as our old ones have passed away. As I regard every patriot of our county interested in the history ot' it, embracing the biography of their ancestors, I hope every one who can contribute to the interest of the work will cheerfully aid me in its prosecu tion. I have nearly attained my eightythird year in life, feeble and poor, and promise that nothing shall be wanting on my part to write a partial history of our county, provided my friends will aid me in the laudable work. w. E. P. S.?Please leave any contributions to the above work with Mr. Geo. H. McMaster or Major Thos. W. Woodward, Winnsboro, S. C. I heard the veritable Bill Arp at the Newberry fair, which was a success. He aroused the risable nerve of the audier.ec to its fullest capacity verily. w. E. ?It will not disappoint you. It is the best articlc known for purifying the blood and building up the health and strength. For twenty-five years erysipelas broke out in blotches on my fnr>?? r fnnnd no cure until I used Parker's Tonic two years ago. It is the medicine for me.?E. C. H. * itisM WottWAttt): The effcpredicted cold Wave sti'tibk ibis place the first of the tffeek. 'the faamers were pretty well prepared for it) however, as they are about through picking cotton and a considerable quantity ot smuli grain uas oeen sown. Cotton keeps coming in, but not so briskly as during the month of October. Between 2,000 and 2,100 bale3 have been received here. It is thought by some that the receipts at this place for this season will reach 3,000 bales. There was a suspension of business here ou Thursday, and services were | held in some of the churches in this vicinity. The Concord congregation has sent a unanimous call to the Kev. W. H. : ^ mi- ;0 I iNevili, or irreenviiit;, wmuu, u is. thought, he will accept. Some of oar citizens who bought stoves from the St. Louis Wroaght1 Iron Range Company, and gave notes payable November *1, 1886, have had them presented, and find to their surprise that they are due November 1, 1885. Some of the parties paid, but others declined to pay before their notes are really due. Mr. Thos. P. Mitchell has a contract signed by the j agent from whom he bought the stove, stating that the money is not to be paid until November 1, 1886, and Mr. C. S. Brice, Sr., says that he would not sign the note until tne leuow changed it so as to make it due in 1886. 1 He says that the figures were changed j afterwards, although it can't be detected. Both these gentlemen will stand a suit rather than pay before November 1, 1886. Two peddlers, traveling in a buggy, spent the night at a house near here the first of the week. The gentleman was not at home, and next morning they stated that they had no money, threw a tablecloth and a towel or two on a table and drove off. It would be a good idea to make such characters pay in advance. Four tramps and three bears passed our town last Tuesday. The tramps - i i.? rtHAnfmn Knf fhp ' uiuu i auruui inutu uubiiuvii utu ...? bears did. Messrs. Brice & Co have torn down the store-house formerly occupied by A. J.

One will be for groceries and the other for dry goods, shoes, etc. The wife of one of our most respectable citizens, whose character has always been above reproach, found a lock of hair in the pocket of her spouse's coat while dusting it for him a few days ago. He has been tryiug ever since to explain how it got there. D. A Great Discovery. Mr. \Vm. Thomas, ofNewton,Iowa, say: "My wife has been seriously affected with a cough for twenty-five years, and this spring more severely than ever before. She had used many remedies without reiiei, ana Deing urged to try King's New Discovery, did so, with most gratifying results. The first bottle relieved her very much and the second has absolutely cured her. She has not had so good health for thirt years." Trial Bottles Free at McMaster, Brice & Ketchins' Drug Store.
