?- ?In the excitement of Fiirs, Expositions,
&c., don't forget the Kirmess.
?Several of our farmers went to
the Farmers' Convention, at Colnmbia
on Wednesday.
-.i ?The farmers are complaining of!
if tbe weather, in that they are unable
to pick out the cotton.
?Every lady in FairSeld county is
requested to send in a donation for the
Kirmess dinners and suppers.

any case of Malarial or Bilious Chills and
Fevers. For sale by McMaster, Brice &
Ketchin. 11
i ?We have_yet to hear a single comf
plaint about the price paid in this
market. This is because the highest
price is paid.
?Some people may have heard that
the Kirmess will fall through, but that
is a mistake. It is boomina and will
surely he here before Christmas?Mr.
R. M. Huey has just received
a supply of "Suwanee Cheroots," an

omaranteed to srive satisfaction. Call

?All the Sunday-schools will hold

It is expected that several interesting
addresses will be mad
?In the saddle horse race at the
State Fair Wednesday, Mr. D. Milling's
"Jack of Diamonds" was first,
with Mr. J. B. Propst's ilBob Lee"
second. There were five entries.
?The Council is having the pavement
aud drain in front of the residence
of Capt. I. 25". Withers put in
good condition. This body is having
some good work doue on the streets,
and will be commended for it.
?If you take JERSEY FLATS occasionally
you will never suffer with chills
and fever. For sale by McMaster, Brice
& Ketchin. il
^ ?One of the greatest improvements
S the town ^jwicil has recently made is
% thegra^j^^Tthe ash*
htgion street, east of the railroad. In
its unfinished condition it presents a
better aoDearance than formerly.
?Every one in Fairfield county is
requested and expected to take as
much interest in the Kirmess as thongh
they lived right here in town?for will
the monument not stand for the beloved
dead of Fairfield as well as
Winnsboro?
Quite a large number of bales J of
ftkswere sold in this market ThorsPKl
than was expected, considering
that the State Fair was in progress
in Columbia. Bat this is another
evidence that Winnsboro, as a cotton
market, is unsurpassed.
?Several ladies and gentlemen took
in the Augusta Exposition on Tuesday.
The party went down in the
morning and returned on'the midnight
train. They express themselves as
having had an enjoyable trip and as
being much pleased with the expositin
11-?-vr-JSrf
couEverybody is settling down to the

it t
m, must build lactones and other
manufacturing enterprises in order to
^jap some of the benefits of the proactive
tariff which seems destined to
be fastened upon us for an indefinite
period.
?Now that the sh)ck at Harrison's
election has been overcome and eve *yv
- body begins to feel the^ country safe,
l ' let Winnsboro keep up with the procession
by building railroads and
factories. A little effort will accomplish
one or both of thess much desired
results.
r
i ?The attendance from this place at
L__J&e State Fair was not as large as
usual. "We are informed that about
half the number of tickets that were
sold here last year were purchased for
the occcasion this year. Perhaps if
the weather had been more favorble
the attendance would have been larger

?A farmer who had been trading in
Columbia for several years, says that
^ after carefully reading the advertisements
of Winnsboro merchants in this
*\ ^v&per. and after trying them, he found
th&t he'ciJoW^doas well here as elsewhere.
This fact proves two tBTc^s;
First, that Wmusboro is a good market,
and second, that advertising will
- a bring trade.
-v --?ft is desired to have a Sunday
W school mass meeting on Sabbath afternoon
of the approaching Conference.
Several of the distinguished men present
will deliver addresses. All the
children, and young people, and
p grownup people whG feel interested in
its success, are cordially invited to be
I at the Methodist Church Thursday
night to practice some sdugs for the
oecasion. \
?Rev. Dr. Burrows, pastor Fifrst Baptist
Church, Augusta, Ga., says: "I have used
H. H. P. myself and in my family ffer years
L and find it to be the best remedy \nown
for sick headache, constipation or oitious
disorders. I advise a:>\ one suffering
Br from these troubles to use it and keejfc it
in their family." For sale by Mcilastefc

?There is one matter about which J
frequent complaint is made, and that
is the matter of street lamps. As we
all know, lamps are only placed on
Main street at present, yet nearly
every man doing business on this
street has to go through unlighled
"back streets" in order to reach bis
homft after the closinsr of bis business
for the day. On dark nights, especially
in winter, the absence of lamps
is sorely felt on these streets, for the
pedestrian never knows when he will
run afoal of an outstanding gate,
which people persist in having, We
used to have all our streets lighted and
for some years ours was the best
lighted town in the State. Bui it is
not so now. "What's the matter with
lighting the back streets? Respectj
ful'v submitted to the Town Council.
?A good head of Hair is desired by
I every one. Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair
Renewer will restore the hair, if the hair
cells are not closed up. *
Personal.?Mr. Jno. A. Robert sum,
formerly of this county, bat now of
Arkansas, is visiting friends and
relatives in the county.
Giles J. Patterson, Esq., of Chester,
was in town 011 Saturday.
The Conference.?The C^mraitte*
of Arrangements for the entertainment
of the Annual Conference thought
that they were "out out of the woods,"
but find that they need homes for
about a dozen members. "We feel a
delicacy in again asking our friends
who have already done so much foi
us, but if any find that they can do
more, they will confer a favor upon
the Committee by notifying any member
of it as to what assistance they
can render.

A Deplorable Business.?Oar attention
has been called to the habit
of certain persons writing npon the
wall of the post office. Some of these
inscriptions are of the most obscene
natnre and it requires the constant effort
of the postmaster to blot them
out. "Whether these writings are of
the nature above mentioned or not,
" am rrrollej to tiaf. anlr

wrong, but it shows a spirit of vandalism
that we fondly believed the
boys of this town would not be guilty
of. We call attention to the fact in
hope that the practice may be stopped,
but if it is not W8 think the ^olice
should take the matter iu hand.
Another Accident.?Another accident
to a wagon crossing the railroad
occurred at Simpson's on Monday.
Lige Harrison, a negro, was driving
his wagon across the track ab^ut 300
yards above the scene of the accident
to Israel Byrd's wagon. "While on the
centre of traik the up train struck the
wagon, scattering it on all sides.
Strange to say, neither the males, nor
their rider was injured. It is evidently
a fact that the driver was asleep, as
the train could have been seen approaching
for 75 yards. Lige said he
neither saw uorhieard, which proves
that beris*ettbcr deaf and blind, or
onnniliT- ocloon T> ic fnrt.nnaJ'e that
ouuu-'j """"i" -? ?
nothing more serious occurred.
Improvements.?Besides the other
evidences of the growing prosperity of
our town which have appeared from
time to time in The News and Herald,
we note the fact that H. L. Elliott,
Esq., is building a cottage on
the lot near Mount Zion Institute
which has already been rented to Mr.
Walker Brown, who will occupy it
when completed.
Mrs. Lizzie Stevenson is also building
a house on her lot where the old
wagon shop used to stand, which she
will also rent. In addition she contemplates
building a residence
immediately north of that of
Mr. J. C. Caldwell, which, when completed,
she will occupy herself.
These buildings, besides other improvements,
show that Winnsboro is
not dead by a long sight.
?If t>eople. troubled with colds, will
take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral before going
to church, they will avoid coughing. The
Pectoral soothes and heals the irritated
tissues, and controls all disposition to
cough. *
A County Fair.?One of the ideas
suggested, to many people by the exhibit
at our recenf County Farmers'
Institute was a county fair, in which
everything produced in this county,
either by agriculture, manufacture or
otherwise, should be exhibited. The
display at the Institute showed that we
could have such an affair if the whole
county would unite in the matter.
It would be a small matter at
first, necessarily, but there is no telling
what might be the final result.
Some gentlemen connected with the
Farmers' Institute are seriously discussing
the matter and we hope that
as a result there will be such an exhibit
and such other attractions at the
next Institute that it will draw the
whole county to it and thus give us a
county fair in deed and in truth.
A Well Deserved Com pliment.?
It will be gratifying to the many
friends of Capt. Isaac H. Means to
learn of his recent election as Librarian
of the State University. There
were at least half dozen applicants? '
among them Col. John P Thomas and
Mr. Patterson Wardlaw. To have
been elected, with such sompetitors,
even on a very close vote, would have
been complimentary, but he was elected
by a very handsome vote on the
first ballot, and under all the circumstances
his election should be especialI

and his friends in Fairgeld. He is a
native and spent the greater portion
j of his life in Fairfield. Of recent
years he has been living in Columbia.
The College Librarian is elected by
the trustees of that institution, and
has a salary of $1,000 or $1,200 and a
dwelling hoase.
?Ayer's Sarsaparilla acts directly and
promptly, purifying and enriching the
blood, improving the appetite, strengthening
the nerves, and invigorating the system.
It is, in the truest sense, an alterative
medicine. Every invalid should give
it a trial. *

Entertainment at White Oak.?
The entertain nent at White Oak on
Friday ni^ht was a glorious su?ces"5
both in point of numbers, and money.
An elegant supper had been prepared,
as only the ladies can prepare them,
consisting of all th3 delicacies of tli3
season. Theentertainme.it was heli
both in the school house and in an improvised
tent near by. There were

poition: of (he county, all of whom
express themselves as having had a
most enjoyable lime. The net proceeds
amounted to about $20 .'which
will be devoted to the "Dick" Anderson
monument. Capt. Gaillard
was to deliver an oration on the occasion,
but owing to indisposition he
was unable to attend, and the assemblage
expressed much regret that he
could not be present. The people
of White Oak cataiuly deserve great
credit for the admirable manner in
which the whole affair was conducted,
and for their interest and zeal in the
matter.

Makriicd at Blackstcck.?For
some weeks past it was currently rumored
on the streets that our Sheriff- f

among (he fullest daughters of onr '
sister u. \vr?, Blackstock. These vague
rumors were definitely settled when
Mr. Millii g ^ook his departure for
Blackstock ou Tuesday night- The 1
wedding ceremony took pla:e at 1
the residence of the bride's father, at '
2 o'clock on "Wednesday. Rev. W. ]
G. Neville, in his usual happy and appropriate
style united in marriage Mr. '
jj. Yonsrue Milling and Miss Maggie *
E. Ma:korell. After the ceremony ,
the relatives and friends present uni- '
ted in wishing the happy coupiea long
life of uninterrupted felicity. The
marriage was a quiet one, only rela- '
tives and the immediate f.iends being
present. "We congratulate our friend
upon his success iu securing so lovely '
a partner for life, and we welcome
her to Wiunsboro, where she has a
host of wirm Iriends.
Shot by a Constable. ?On Saturday
Ed. Jackson, a colored man wai !
arrested at White Oak and taken before
the Trial Justice on a charge of
assault and battery of a high and ag- ]
gravated nature. After the preliminary,
Constable Tom. Jonston started 1
to bring him to Winnsboro and lodge
him in jail. The negro was rather disinclined
to come, and his father, Ike
Jackson, with curses avowed that he
1 t
would never be taken, and proceeded
to attempt his son's rescue. He picked
up large ston2 and was in Ihe act of
throwing it at the constaoie, wno ,
quickly pulled his pistol and fired two J
shots, one striking Ike in the abdo- !
domen and passing around to his back,
and the other slightly wounding [
him in the neck. About this time ]
the prisoner and two other negroes (
laid hold upon the constable and tried 1
to gain his pistol. However, he succeed
in disentangling himself from
their grasp. After these occurrences
a small posse was organized, which
brought (he piison?r to jail. The i
wounded man died on Monday morn- 1
ing at half-past nine. An inquest wp.s {
held by Trial Justice Stevenson, and 1
a verdict rendered in accordance with i
the above facts. 1

Messrs. F. J. Cheney & Co.?Gentle- 1
men :?I nave i)een in me general pracuue I
of medicine for most 40 years, and -would
say that in all my practice and experience,
have never seen a preparation that I could
prescribe with as much confidence of success
as 1 can Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by you. Have prescribed it a
great many times and its effect is wonderful,
and would say in conclusion that I
have yet to find a case or Catarrh that it
would not cure, if they would take it according
to directions.
Yours truly,

Mormon Missionaries.?Two Mor- ]
mnn missionaries are reoorted in this
county. They have been in several (
portions, bnt we only learned the circumstances
of their visit in "White ,
Oak. While Mr. Mitchell of that ,
place was at supper two well dressed
men announced themselves at his ,
house and asked to be accommodated i
for the night. Mr. Mitchell on asking
them who they were rsceived the
reply that they were "Missionaries of ,
Christ of the Latter Day Saints."
Mr. Mitchell quickly perceived who ,
they were and peremptorily ordered
them away. They next went to Mr.
King's who also turned them off.,
They finally arrived at Mr. E. P. .
Mcblev's about 12 o'clock and
asked to be taken iu for the night. ,
Mr. Mobley took them in, and the next
morning they Jeft his honse and wend- ,
ed their way on foot towards Wateree
Church. We hope the people of this
connty will be on the lookout for these
"Latter Day Saints," and iuthewor3s
of the policeman's order, tell them to
"move on," and that quickly. This is
the first time within our knowledge
that such emisaries have -visited our
county, and we hope their reception
will be such as to preclude any further
visits.

Give Them a Chance.
That is to say, your lungs. Also
ill your breathing machinery. Very j
wonderful machinery it is. Not only

When these are clogged and choked

tvork. And what they do, they can-1
not do well.
Call it cold, cough, croup, pneumonia,

bead and lung obstructions, all are
aad. All ought to be got rid of. There
is just one sure way to get rid of them.

Mr. N. C. Robertson was re-elected
a member of the executive committee
of the Society at the annual election
of officers held on Thursday evening.
From the above list it will be seen
ihat Fairfield has held own with tne
other counties of the State in the way
of exhibits, and has borne away her
fall quota of premiums. Contrast this
list with those of bygoue years and
then tell us we are not making progress
in stock and cattle raising! Let
the good work go on, it will pay.
ADVICE TO MOTHERS.
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup
should always be used when children are
cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer
at once; it produces natural, quiet sleep
by relieving the child from pain, and the
little cherub awakes as "blight as a button."
It is very pleasanl to taste. It
soothes the child, softens the gums, allays
all pain, relieves wind, regulates the
bowels, and is the best known remedy for
diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or
other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottler.

Habitual Constipation
And kidney and liver ills, depending
on a weak or inactive condition of the
kidneys, liver, or bowels, are successfully
and permanently cured only by
the use of the gentle yet efl'cctivc,
laxative and diuretic Syrup of Figs.
Its advantages are evident; it is easily
taken, pleasing to the taste, acecptable
to the stomach, harmless to the most
delicate system, and truly beneficial
in effect. *
