Mr. Shannon lives on the Chester side, but he says all along the road from Blackstock to "Winnsboro. he sees that the farmers are busy plowing their lands, in fact tliey are doing more plowing at tliis season than he has ever known before. They are beginning their work for the coming crop with a vim. ? /. A. D. Holler, the contractor, is in town. Mr. T. T. Lumpkin ami his son, Willie, were in town on Sunday and Monday.

Mullinax, who has been in Winnsb( ro during the last season buying cotton for Carroll & Stacy, of Gaffuey's, left Friday night for Statesville, N. C. He said that he regretted very much to leave our town; although he had been here only a short time, he thought he would rather live here than any place he had ever known, ili* many friends regret his leaving: as much as he does himself, for they lose a very courteous gentleman and by his heroic work at our recent fires, we don't hesitate to say that we lose a most efficient fireman. Dr. M. K. Scruggsand his wife paid a visit of a few weeks to his fathers family, and returned to his home in Louisana on Tuesday. "We are pleased to know that the doctor is enjoying a large practice in his adopted state. He left us with a receipt in his pocket for the subscription of the News and Herald for one year. Mis3 Eunice Boyles has gone back to Columbia. Mr "W. N. Mann, of Newberry, made a brief visit to the the family of Policeman Gilbert on Tuesday. Gratifying To All. The high position attained and the universal acceptancc and approval of the pleasant liquid fruit remedy Syrup of figs, as the most excellent laxative known, illustrate the value of the qualities on which, its success is based and are abundantly gratifying to the California Fig Syrup Company. * PRESEST STATUS OF THE DEl'OT QVESTIOy. Mr. Taifott was in to\Yu on Tuesday to look after the matter of the passenger depot which has been the topic of discussion among business men for the past few days. We learned from a reliable source that the proposed change had been agitated among the railroad authorities ou account of frequent complaints of the large gang of idling colored people who congregate at the depot, making it exceedingly unpleasant for ladies in wait for trains or getting on or off the cars. Mr. Taicott examined a number of vacant lots along the railroad between the freight depot and the passenger. lie said, 1%a rtUonrra fho nnrrr ttuuuiu uc uu v v/uou^b) vuv n^n depot would be built not lower down than the lot opposite Dr. Hanahan's. He had a Ions: consultation with Mr. George II. McMaster, and at the conclusion of the confcrence intimated somewhat definitely that there would be no chauge, saying that with a reconstruction of the present depot and a rigid enforcement of the police powers, he thought perfect satisfaction could be given. The only changes that will be made will be to move the postoffice one door further we6t and use the room 'now used by the post-master for a waiting room. The white people will use one waiting rocm aud the colorcd people the other. Mr. McMaster says that if it is absolutely necessary, he will add a room on the north side for baggage. A VISIT TO MOUNT ZIOX. Messrs. Editors: I do not know who has the power to appoint the visiting committees for Mt. Zion from week to week, but seeing my name anuounced for last week, I waived the question of credentials, and on Thursday 16th inst. in company with my two colleague sallied forth on a tour of inspection. We found Pi of. Witherow, Prof. Dunn and the lady teachers al their posts and were favorably impressed with the good order prevalent in their several departments. The Senior Professor was engaged with a Ciass of young men in a recitation on physics. Some of the boys were well upon the lesson, ethers not so much so, but by the time the lecture was ended, I think 11 Dt only the class, but your Board of Visitors had a pretty clear idea of the subject of evaporation. Our time being unavoidably limited, we could only take a glance into the other deoartments, speak to the teach ers and pupils and pass on. We did, however, stop in Miss Fhinney?< room long; enough to listen with delight at a reading and song exercise by the little folks. Not being well posted in tbe study and recitation hours, wc made the mistake of striking the recces hour of most of the classes and tor this reason I, at least, failed to visit Miss Belie C&ihcari'ss room. This I regret, and by these presents do promise that saeh shall not be the case again. Let me add here that I fear our people have not a just appreciation of this excellent school. I hear that it is a rare thing for ihe boards of visitors to attend even once in the week. I don't think it ought to bs thus, your teachers and j children too would be pleased to have ! the friends of the college visit them I oftftn. Whv tbs Senior Professor's face fairly glowed with delight as wo filed into his room and took our scats. VISITOli. FOR DYSPASIA Use Brown'* Xvoc Bitters Physicians recommend it.

The good people in town had '' * i J. ~ -licitol scarcely settieo. aown iu iiiw-i quiet, after the burning- of the dwelling of Miss Gaither, when the midnight alarm of fire sounded again and the peaceful repose of the community I was once more suddenly disturbed. The scene of the conflagration of Friday morning was near the Episcopal Cemetery hill, the North Western ! corner of the town, and the building consumed was the dwelling owned by J. P. Boyles, of Columbia, and occupied by Mr. A. L. Porter. Mr. Porter says he cannot account for the origin of the fire, -lie was awakened about midnight by the roaring and crackling of fire and discovered the kitchen almost entirely consumed. This building was entirely separate from the dwelling but stood very close to it, only a few feet off. Tins out-house was used as a cook room but no fire had been in the stove since dinner time Thursday, so the only solution of the mystery lies in the accusation of rats and matches. The firemen were promptly on hand but the engine could not do very effective work for the reason that the nearest cistern was about twelve hundred feet distant from the fire and there are oniv one thousand feet of licse belonging to the steamer and this had to be supplemented by the use of several hundred fe?t of tlje hand engine hose. This hose is smaller than the steam engine hose and could not stand the high pressure produced by the rotory pumps of the steamer. They bursted in several places and as a consequence the stream of water thrown from the nozzle was too weak to do any good. The firemen, however, succeeded in saving all of Mr. Porter's furniture and prevented the fire from communicating io the adjoining building-. The bouse was insured iu one of J. C. Caldwell's companies for one thousand dollars. Mr. Porter had no insurance but as already stated, all of his furniture was saved, the only loss being the damage done in getting it out. Mr. Porter has rented the new residence of A. E. Beckham, and will occupy it with his family. wuSxTsewSTFLINT niLL. January 17. The farmers are making good use of the fair weather we are having. The most of them are busy sowing spring oats. I see that Peay's Ferry lias been recharlered. We would be glad if our County Commissioners would hurryup, and give us a good crossing. VVatcree for I he past three or four years has been like a Chinese wall between us and our Lancaster and Kershaw cousins. Our teacher, Mr. Davidson Donglass, will soon leave us, and will theu take charge of the tchool at Oakland. We will congratulate Oakland with having the services of such an efficient teacher. Mr. A. F. Fcay's good luck still clings to him. There is another girl in the house of Peay. The weather for the past few weeks has been almost unprecedented. Vege tation pulling out like spring, though we have had a heavy frost on the lGth. Just to let us know that "spring would be but gloomy weather, if we had nothing else but spring." WOODWARD. January 18. Mr. L. W. Henry, of Albion, left Saturday for Rodman's, 011 the G. C. & N. R. R.., where he will engage in mercantile business with a Mr. Lewi.?, ot" tlie same fown. That Le may succeed, is the wish of his many friends. Tuesday was a big day with the railroad company at this place. About seven hundred dollars worth of tickets were sold. Seventy-five bales of cottou were bought here on Wednesday. Among other business change?, the following have been madeiu our town: Mr. John K. Johnston, who farmed on the Clowney place last veer, has a position with Carpenter, Bricu & Co., of Chester. Mr. Saml. B. Clowney, who has been with Nicholson r Co. for two years, takes Mr. Johnston's place on the farm. Mr. N. A. Peay will return to his farm near Longtown on the first of February., and Messrs. \V. "W. and J. L. Brice will also try their luck at the mule and bell cord. Mr. Thos. B. Cathcart will keep books for Messrs Nicholson & Co. A crowd of about a hundred negroes left here on Tuesday morning for Yazoo City, Miss. They went, with a man named Hutching, who told several tales as to what he was going to do with ihem. He told some that he wanted the negroes to work on his own place near Yazoo City, and others that he was working for a stock company in Atlanta, and that the negroes would be divided out when they got to Birmingham. He took away several little boys against their parents wishes and hands under contract. He will find this country unhealthy if he ever comes back again. 4 January 20. 1 have been looking for sometime for a letter fro n Woodwards in your paper and as none lias appeared, I will iry to write a short one myself. The fanners arc -nakiug a good start for another year. Yon can see large fields plowed tip, notwithstanding a j number of laborers have left us for the Yazvo Valleys. They left some of the farmers without ha.ud^, but it is generally believed all will get laborers soon. Small grain is looking tolerable well in this section; farmers are are now sowing spring oats, and it is hoped that we may make a good crop this i year. If we fail, as we did last year, ! a great many of us will just jjire up. I There was a spelling match at Black1 ?i. ... ?i... ooil.

They are taking the advantage of this phenomenal weather by breaking up, and some are preparing corn land, which i3 unusually early.
