That beats "dirt cheap" all to pieces. ?Quite a number of umbrella menders have visited our town dnring the last few weeks. Tbe profession is evidently becoming very much crowded, and unfortunately in this case, there is not even that little consolation of knowing that "there is plenty of room at the top." ?The attention of the Southern people towards manufacturing enterprises is more marked than ever before. Cotton factories, canning factories, and factories of other description are spoken of in various sections of the State. Let the ball be set in motion and kept rolling. ? A movement is on foot in the ^ congregation of Scion Presbyterian j Church to organize a Young Alen's j Missionary Society. With a view to ; the accomplishment of. this end, the i Rev. D. B. Jordan, D. D., pastor of this church, preached a very interesting sermon on the subject of foreign missions on last Sabbath. ? we received on Jbnday a cara j from Mr. E. II. "Williamson, of! Camak, Ga., inquiring about the "Winnsboro, Wadesboro & Camak, Ga.. Railroad. He wrote specially for a number of papers containing items about the proposed road, which j request we cheerfully complied with. It will thus be seen that others are j thinking of the anticipated road. If You Want a Good Article Of Plug Tobacco, ask your dealer for Jan22St6tn "Old Rip." A Large Egg.?Mr. W. B.

Forest Fires.?Onr exchanges report an unusually large number of forest fires lately. They are doubtless brought about by clearing up-lands. Wj are not advised to what extent the planters of this county have suffered in this particular. But it seems to us that everything ought to be | done that could be done to prevent' these conflagrations, so destructive to I the interests of our farmers. A High Compliment.?The Columbia Register in speaking of the arrival and stay of the Gordon Light In-, fantry in Columbia on their return from Charleston, says: Accompanied by Captain Newnham, the visiting company marched up from the depot, making a fine appearance, and as all who witnessed their excellent marching and soldiery bear- j ing in Charleston will testify, the j t + olw3vc ?1a !

He bit two ol' Mr. McCrorey's dogs and left. Mr. McCrorey armed himself with a double-barreled shot-gun and pursued at a safe dlstince behind. The dog stopped at Mr. Charley Ford's place, was overtaken by Mr. McCrorey, and, alter some difficulty, was dispatched by Mr. Ford. The dog made a desperate light. Mr. | Ford narrowly escaped being bitten. ! Deaths.?We regret to learn of the death of Mrs. Martha Nichols, relict of Mr. Osmund Nichols, who preceded her to the grave about three years ago. Sbe died at her home in the northeastern section of the county 01. Thursday itvst. She had been i:i failing health lor some time, but it was not until about j j two weeks ago that it was learned | that her end was approaching. She I was in the seventy-lHth \car of her j age, and leaves a iiost of relatives and ! friends to mourn her death. On the same day an infant of Mr. | and Mrs. Wooten died at the rest- j dence of Mr. \V\ B. Gilbert. The j mother was on a \ i>it to the family of. Mr. Gilbert.

A Sudden Death.?On the ilhu of j April, Mrs. Nancy Carter, wire ot j Mr. Thos. Carter, who lives near Bell's Bridge, in this county, died very suddenly. She had been having chills and Friday was her regular day for a chill, but she missed it and was apparentlv better. She ate her dinner as usual and no one was apprehensive ohrsnt hr>r rendition, but before her husband had been gone to the field an j hour she dropped down suddenly I amidst her little children. Mr. J. 13. ; Fraser who was passing at the time, ; was attracted by the consternation of | the children and immediately went to j the house. By the help of a. colorod j man she was laid on her bed, and in a j few minutes was dead. Her husband ! was at once summoned, found I he ! wife he left so short a time before ; there lying a corpse. She leaves five j children, the youngest only about i two months old. Mr. Carter has the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in his sad bereavement. Wedding Bells.?For some time it has been an open secret that one of the "Boro's" most popular young men would take as a lite partner one of our town's fairest daughters On Thursday Mr. Samuel Johnston and Miss Sallie Gladden tterc united in mar-j riage. The happy occasion took place - 3_..1 rii 1. _i ; m tne Memoaist vuurcu m. houi | o'clock, the Rev. G. P. Watson offi- | dating. A large crowd wus in at- j tendance to witness the marriage. After the ceremony binding their young hearts as one, the party repaired to the home of the bride's- father, where a tempting collation was served. In the afternoon the happy couple, accompanied by Messrs. -Jesse, James, Claud and William Gladden, \T. M. Beaty, S. B. and D. A. Crawford, John Johnston, J. M. Elliott, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. A. W.

Rowell & Co., of Slew York, will issue on Monday, May 2nd, the i nineteenth anuual edition of their j standard publication, the "American j Newspaper Directory." The new volume contains an ex- j haustive- list of all class publications j so admirably arranged that any of the j three thousand papers represented j there can be readily referred to and j all important facts concerning it, to-1 gether with its circulation rating, j easily obtained. The Newspaper Directory will be used principally by publishers, advertisers and advertising agents, but the vast fund of information it contains makes it valuable to persons of almost every trade and profession. As a gazetteer alone it is well worth the price charged, $5.00, for it fully describes every town 111 which a newspaper is issued, and few people care to know about any place where one is not. The number of papers published in the United States, Territories (including Alaska) and Canada is put at 15,420; and increase of 581 in one year. The growth of newspapers in some of the Western States would be a matter of wonder, if it were'not that this year is no exception to the rule. In Eansas the increase is S9 and in Nebraska 64; while the Keystone State shows a smaller advance of 35 and the Buckeye State of 30. Pennsylvania exhibits the largest increase in dailies, 17; Kansas in weeklies, 81, and New York in monthlies, 42. Seven States show a decrease; the most prominent instances being New Hampshire and Virgiuia, six each. The whole volume shows that great care has been taken to sustain its reputation as the most comprehensive work of the kind yet published, and to insure accuracy in every detail. Anything less than a complete compendium of American newspapers and periodicals would surprise those who are familiar with the former efforts of this firm, who are so well known as the oldest, largest and best known of all the American advertising agencies. THE GORDOXS IS CHARLESTON. Where They Stopped and How They Spent the Time. I rur fcULIJU LI LLiU LV Liit* vvvuowii the members of the Gordon Light Infantry had been anticipating their trip to Charleston, and when on Mondaylast they made their appearance on our 1 streets, dressed in their handsome uniforms and with their knapsack strapped to them, a determination to have a jolly time could be seen on the face of every member. A handsome car for their use was attached to the regular train on that day, which v.as soon occupied and the party speeding their way to the City by the Sea. Arriving at Columbia, it was found that the special train carrying the two Columbia companies had just left, so the car of the Gordons and that of the Catawba Rifles, of Rock Hill, were attached to another special train of the South Carolina Railway. The time between tiw. Kw. niics w.-i* sulfur, in (ihattino* v,'~ V*-? " ~ C aiuMhe forming of new acquaintances, with an occasional pong to liven up those who had a tendency to napping, j Arriving in Charleston at ten o'clock the company was met by a staff officer who conducted them to the Silcox j building, which was the headquarters for most of the visiting companies. Alter relieving themselves of their baggage most of the members scattered to take a stroll through the streets and view the sights of the city by gas light. In the morning the visiting companies were formed under command of Col. J. Q. Marshall, of the Palmetto Regiment, and marched to the Battery where the procession was formed. Promptly at 12 o'clock the procession had been formed w;th the i Gordons in the front, the position of; honor, by virtue of being Company A, and the line of march taken np for Marion Square where the unveiling ceremonies would take place. The Military was under command of Gen. Richbourg, of Columbia. Upon the arrival of the procession at the monument, the military was dismissed. The Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar delivered the oration of the day, which was a masterly effort. The remainder of the day was spent in looking around the city. On Wednesday most of the members visited Sullivan's Island, Fort Smr.ter and other places of interest in and around the city. Thursday morning the company bid farewell to their quarters and the historic city and lefc for "home, sweet home." Soon after leaving, Lieutenant Wright of the Governor's Guards, who was on tho train, telegraphed his company at Columbia to prepare a reception for the Gordons on fheir arrival in the Capital City. The Richland Volunteers, who always know how to do the nice thing at the proper time, had al-1 ready made preparations for entertain- I aamrvn n t- n e mioctc qtifl i Ail^, LiJU l/UlllJ/CkllJ ?40 liJVii thus were the Governor's Guards cut out of what they expected to do. Upon the arrival Capt. Newnham and a number of the Volunteers were at the train to welcome the Gordons for their short stay in the city. Beaded by a drum corps the company marched up to main street from the Union depot, and up main street to the armory of the Volunteers. There a bountiful repast was in waiting prepared by caterer Heitsch, with plenty of nourishment of a liquid nature to wash it down and good cigars to cool off on. Col. Marshall in a neat speech welcomed the company, and In fitting terms Capt. Jordan responded, after which full justice was done to the "spread," but without any manifest decrease of the supply. Gen. Richbourg, Col. Marshall, Gen. Metts, Capts. Xewnham and Jones, and a number of other rrftntlomon with a full turnout of the Volunteer?, were untiring in their efforts to make the short stay of the Gordons a pleasant one. With a sincerc regret to leave such kind hospitality, tbe Gordons, accompanied by Captain Jfewnham and others, took up the march for the C. C. & A. depot, which was reached just in time for the north-bound train.1 We cannot leave the account of the J time spent in the capital without say- i ing that the yfForts of the military) were most heartily appreciated, and i that the Gordons hope to have a time in which to show more fully their appreciation. Speech-making and songs were the order of the day between Columbia and "Winnsboro, in which all joined with a hearty good will. Arriving at home the company was marched to their armory and dismissed. Every one seemed to have enjoyed himself, and will remember very pleasantly the- trip to the "City by the Sea." 0 ?

Editors: That section of county lying between Cool Branch and Broad River has passed through several seasons of trying afflictions within the last few years. More recently several families have passed through a severe ordeal ot thyphoid fever. Mr. "VV. R. Boulware's family has been severely afflicted. Two of his children first took the fever. It is hoped that they are out of danger. One of his oldest daughters, Miss Fanny, a girl nearly grown, died and was buried on the 19th April. At the time of her death aua 111 ine same room . Mrs. Bouhvare, possibly worn down by constant watching and anxiety, lay critically ill. On the L;Gth we laid the mortal remains of the devoted mother near beside those of the loving daugher. Mrs. Boulware was a member of the Cool Branch Church. She ex Lys in 3 MT PRK st quality, 1-i lbs. for $1.00.

She w:is truly a faithful mother and wife, and her absence'will darken her home with sorrow. Mr. | Boulware deserves and receives the i sympathy of his neighbors. ! The truth is the people of this comI munity are unusually kind and ! thouhtful of another in aillietion. ! Many of them are poor in this world's . goods, hut do not forget these Chris| tian duties. I I hope that I am not crossing the bounds of propritv when I mention their kindness to an industrious man, who lias been enfeebled by this cruel lever for fuily two mouths, and who al.>o was maimed during that cruel and most needless cf all wars. Ilis neighbors employed and are paying the very best hand They could find, put him in hi.s farm and propose to keep him there until the crop is safe, or ; the owner can inkc his place. Sadly indeed would Mrs. J. F. V. Legg be missed among her neighbors , whenever there is trouble or suffering. She is to be seen carrying re; frcshments, comfort and prayer. Many sre the aching and dyiug pillows she has softened. Her neighbors know of these things, and mean and ungrateful indeed would they be ! if they failed to love "Aunt Lind," ; Of conrsc all know the worth Capt. | Legg has ever been to his community | and church. Dr. C. C. Estes does the practice ! for the community referred to. lie 1 has had some very severe cases, and I as a rule has been exiremely fortunate. 1 Dr. F.sfps; sppms tn hr> mnstftnfK* growing in the esteem of the families wnere he works. The same tribute ot respect and confidence can be paid to Dr. C. Iiabb, who is the physician in the Feastervillc country. Dr. Iiabb is a sale, solid man, and deserves all the work he can do. Dr. C. N. Ilough, the warm-hearted and popular young physician at Ilalsellviiie, has been quite ill, but is now able to attend to his practice. Some captious reader may charge your correspondent with handing out "taffy.'-' I feel that all I have written is deserving. When i attended Mrs. Boulware's funeral and saw sj many eyes swelled and reddened by loss of sleep and shedding tears of sympathy a.id grief, . felt that something akin to goodness still lingered in the human heart. It is under the inspiration of this feeling I pen this letter. So far as doctors arc concerned they belong to a noble profession, and as a rule are the most over-worked and underpaid class of men we have. On Thursday the 21st it was my good pleasure to officiate at the marriage of Mr. L. C. Feaster, of Fairfield county, and Miss Xaimie Williams, of Chester county. Our best wishes attend this newly married pair. j. u. iviauox. ISacklc.i's Arnica iSalve.
